Only if they chose to..........not cast in stone. In this case, they violated ABA precedent by making defense go first.

The Right to Present a Defense​

Under the Sixth Amendment, defendants have a right to present a defense. They are also entitled to give a closing argument. Usually, the prosecution first makes a closing argument, then the defense attorney. The prosecutor, who has the burden of proof, frequently gets the chance to respond to the defense's final argument.

How can you say I dont know what I am talking about when you post the exact same phrase that I did? Prosecution goes last, they get the opportunity for a rebuttal. That last say, the last closing argument.

You posted what I posted and what I have been stating. Thank you.
