Ryan Smith on HLN, "...as a prosecutor you want to finish with a bang, right?" (might not be verbatim - I only heard it 15 seconds ago...)
They're bashing him for getting into the weeds and not finishing with a 'bang'.
Hmm... Maybe that's because he's not
finished yet?
Just picture for a moment sitting through a days' testimony during KN's direct - any of them, doesn't matter. Compare that to today.
Nurmi finished his DE with the defendant. JM is on day 2 with CE.
How many of us were wishing Nurmi would keep going when the judge would call it a day?
Anyone wish JM could have continued?
Beyond style, JM is actually making points! Nurmi made ZERO headway over 3 weeks of direct.
JM wins on style and substance.
And it's only day 2.
