The jury having been impaneled and sworn, the trial shall proceed in the following order:
1. If the indictment or information be for a felony, the clerk must read it and state the plea of the defendant to the jury. In all other cases this formality may be dispensed with.
2. The prosecuting attorney must open the cause. The defendant or the defendant’s counsel may then either make the defendant’s opening statement or reserve it to be made immediately prior to the presentation of evidence in the defendant’s behalf.
3. The prosecuting attorney must then offer its evidence in support of the charge, and the defendant may then offer evidence in his or her defense.
4. The parties may then respectively offer rebutting testimony only, unless the court, for good reasons, in furtherance of justice, permits them to offer evidence upon their original cause.
5. When the evidence is concluded, unless the case is submitted to the jury on either side, or on both sides, without argument, the prosecuting attorney must open and must conclude the argument.
