    I see this as an absolute win

      Me too, and I love the “if you punish my client, it will be bad for him” argument. That’s clearly the sign of a good lawyer.

        It’s the best argument he’s got, and can you blame him? There isn’t a lawyer alive who could win this for old ink scalp. His only hope is a stacked court.

        This should be taught in law school in Trial Law 101: best defense

        “Your honor, this verdict is horrible for my client. Move for a mistrial.”

        “Ah good point, didn’t think of that. Wouldn’t want to inconvience this man. Granted”
