Brennan keeps pounding on something - the podium, the table, the plexiglass, his hands, the papers in his hands...

Who was it here who said, "If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table."

Sounds like Officer O’Keefe should have taken charge and arranged for them to have a designated driver.

This is the lamest stuff ever. Purely subjective emotional junk.

is it just me, or is he coming off "flat"? Put a bit of emotion into this... at least make me think you believe what you are saying.

Where's the proof, Brennan?
We see you working on motive, but....

Is it lame? There's gonna be 75 long minutes of this irresponsible, jury misleading, ethically violating prosecutor-in-fraud to get through. Jmo

Always, always always. He slurs his words and speaks so slowly. BORING.

He’s out here putting on a one man percussion concert like he’s in Stomp!

MOO

Does Brennan understand that JOK’s diagnoses or cause of death really isn’t in question it’s the MECHANISM of injury that’s in question. You have no proof of how he died Hank. The End.

I know that the jury cannot be shown but does anyone know how the jury was reacting to Jackson’s closing? I’d like to know if they were riveted, looking bored, etc. I feel like their level of attention would help tell us what they are thinking.

 

[turaj]

how many times can you say "she was drunk".

The only time I've heard any passion in HB's voice is when he's berating a witness on the stand.
IMO.

News flash Hank - being drunk isn’t a crime.

THIS! I am sorry, but even if she or someone did hit him with a car, there is definitely some level of responsibility on him and all the others that night that allowed him to be in the car with her. He saw how much she drank and he still chose to let her drive.

The Brian’s were celebrating? Celebrating what? The funeral they’d been to earlier that day of a LEO?

Riveted and when he ended every single one of them picked up their water bottles and drank.

Brennan is losing me....I hope the jury feels the same..

 

[Wishbone]

His presentation is really clunky.
