5.  About the Accused

  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.
