Humanizing someone makes it harder for you to take action against them.
In a court room you don't want the jury looking at them like they are a monster. So you say their name. You make them seem relatable.
If you are a female and are kidnapped, you talk to your capture, you tell them your name, you try to engage them so they see you as human not prey
It's a tactic. The lawyer was not being incompetent.
It's very common for a defense attorney to use psychological techniques during trial to humanize their clients. In fact, any lawyer worth his salt would attempt to do it.
This specific technique is designed to make the jury feel like they are acquainted with the defendant. They may not be consciously aware of it, but that sense of acquaintance influences the jury's decision on guilt.
I had a different take on it. I thought the defense attorney has a down to earth,"reality" demeanor. Which would be more acceptable for jurors.
I believe that he's just getting warmed up.
Hope Kyle gets acquitted.
This is actually a defense tactic. By referring to him by his first name, he is attempting to humanize him to the jury.
He's right. When he says humanize, he means he is getting the jury to think of him as a person not a monster that carelessly murdered 3 people.
He could be your son, your brother, your friend, your boyfriend.
Anyway, it is a common tactic and one that women are taught in order to protect themselves, make yourself a human not prey.

I personally believe the DA is doing far worse.
Constantly objecting and disagreeing with the judge on the technicalities of the law.
He just comes across as an over zealous prick.
I want to know if the defense wants to see Kyle convicted.
Just kind of makes you wonder!
Yeah people who are like the prosecution gave it to the defense? What are we watching the same trial.
