Talk:United States criminal procedure

Current status of article
I have tried to improve the prose and add some details in a few sections. This article needs lots and lots of work, starting with references. If I have time over the holiday, I will try to find some. A basic government text should work for some areas. As this article stands now, it might be more appropriate for the Simple Wikipedia. Also, though I haves spent much time looking, it seems the navigational hierarchy and linking of some legal articles are missing or confusing. Probing Mind (talk) 14:39, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Correction suggestion
In the "Presentation of Evidence" section it says "The closing statements are given in the same order, with the defense going last." I believe this is incorrect. In every courtroom drama I have ever seen, the defense presents closing arguments first and the prosecution last.Dwight Burdette (talk) 13:37, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

Correction suggestion Addendum
Since posting my previous suggestion I did some more resarch and found that generally the prosecution presents closing arguments first, the defense next, followed by a prosecution rebuttal. Additionally, the article said that in some jurisdictions, the defense goes first followed by the prosectution. Therefore, I suggest the article be revised to reflect the other possibilities.
