      I have not seen many trials, but I have never seen a defense attorney less enthusiastic about attempting to defend a person

      I can picture him now...staying up late assembling the PowerPoint for maximum dramatic effect...failing to proofread it entirely

      I don't mean to be glib! It was a serious case involving a bad person doing a bad thing. I wouldn't have wanted the job of defending him.

      I am glad for all our sakes that the system requires we go through a process of mounting a defense.

      But this was a bad dude. His defense was predicated on "technically he might not have done the worst possible thing as it's defined in law"

      The defense attorney's opening statement included the line "By the end of this trial, you might not even like Mr. [So-and-so] very much."

      He was right! And the main reason I didn't like him is because, as it turned out, he committed the crime for which he was accused.

      So the defender had a hard row to hoe. He always sounded like he'd forgotten his homework and was making up his oral report on the spot.

      His closing argument included the phrase "What Mr. [So-and-so] did was not OK."

      But back to this PowerPoint! It was clear he intended it to be very dramatic: make a point, click impactfully to a full-page photo of a dove
