Essentially, the title says it all. How do some lawyers make such a difference in the outcome of a trial when defending clients accused of crimes? The evidence is the same regardless of the lawyer, so it doesn’t seem like they should have that much power over the verdict.

Part of being a lawyer is being a good arguer and a convincing speaker.
If I’m trying to convince you to agree with me, are you more likely to agree with me and believe in my stance if I’m acting timid or shy or unconfident? Or are you more likely to agree with me if I show no cracks and demonstrate strong confidence in my argument?
The reputation of being a good lawyer is also going to prime you, so if you’re involved in a case with them, you’re already expecting them to impress you, and you might subconsciously be biased to them.
