Do dramatic courtroom moments actually ever happen?

Uh, super, super rare that they ever happen.

You're not going to get the moment that's like on TV or on like, uh,

you know, my cousin Vinny, where they say the prosecution dismisses all charges and everyone

just like shouts and screams. And you hear like the orchestra in the back. That's not going to

happen. Okay. Trial is like either building a building brick by brick or death by a thousand

cuts where you're cutting down what someone's doing or saying when it's not true. And you just

show piece after piece after piece, why it's not true. And the culmination of it all is where the

jury decides, I don't believe this, or I believe the story. I think that's what happened. So you're

not going to get really dramatic moments unless someone, for some reason thinks that's, what's

going to make the jury go in their favor. And it rarely works that way, by the way, no one is going

to like jurors are real people. If you are a try hard, the jury is going to know that. And they're

going to, they're going to kind of look back and be like, uh, I don't know about this guy,

or I don't know about this gal. So everything is, is a lot smoother. And it's like, like the waves

of drama are a lot more flat, but I mean, you never know things it's still, it's still,

it's still human. Okay. Things happen.
