👉 Conviction engineering refers to the strategic manipulation of evidence and legal procedures to secure a guilty verdict, often by influencing the jury's perception or interpretation of the facts. This practice can involve presenting evidence in a way that aligns with the prosecution's narrative, emphasizing certain facts while downplaying or omitting others, and employing persuasive techniques to sway the jury's emotions and biases. It can also include expert testimony that frames complex issues in a manner favorable to the prosecution's case. While it can be a legitimate aspect of legal advocacy, conviction engineering raises ethical concerns when it crosses into misleading or unfair practices that compromise the integrity of the judicial process.
