I actually also thought Mr. Juanderful came on too forcefully in the beginning. He was making every utterance out of her mouth a reason to go full-on nuclear and I think it's better used more judiciously rather than full-tilt-all-the-time.
He also was going down rat holes, digging into levels of details but not about the important points, just to try and get to her (which wasn't really working so well). At one point I thought she looked like the one who was in control and he looked and sounded out of control raging mad. I know that runs contrary to what most people think of his performance today and believe me, it's hard for me (who thinks he's fabulous) to say that, but it's what I saw and perceived.
I do understand the need to take topics out of order and use the element of surprise, but some of his major points were getting lost in the minutiae of the battle between them. Plus all the side bars for every objection just screwed with the pacing.
The finger line of questioning was the most clear with the fastest payoff (the 'aha' liar!). The txt messages, cell phone calls, Mormon church family home night mix started to jumble. The bottom line of that is JA wasn't at TA's house to see this supposed pedophilic tendency and he wasn't blowing up her phone trying to talk to her, and all was seemingly normal and mundane with the swapping car talk. But all that sort of got lost.
