Each
motion should contain a section that pictures the accused favorably.
Sometime this can be accomplished by describing the accused,
although this is not the only way to picture the accused favorably.
In a motion to exhume the body of the victim we once used the
section about the accused to express his sympathy with the victim and to
distant the accused from the acts of counsel in seeking to have the body
of the victim exhumed.
This section
about the accused in that motion seeking to have the body of the victim
exhumed reads as follows.
