As depicted in those pictures with him standing outside the courthouse next to Trump.
I think he looks like he wants to jump off a bridge.

His family needs to do a wellness check.

After this ordeal they are going to need some serious help.

Win or lose, they will be darlings of the GOP. They will have their choice of clients.

Lawyers often finding themselves representing clients they don't like. In the words of Professor Prosser:

I would not let these attorneys help me fill out a small claims court form.

The good professor nailed it.

I looked him up in wiki.

Brilliant, witty, sophisticated.
Made a significant contribution to his profession.

His description of life in the trenches for an attorney is accurate, sad, and funny
at the same time.

I would love to have been a student in his class.

Legal research is all done on computers now. Nevertheless, I will have a current edition of Prosser and Keaton as long as I practice law.

practicing attorneys view his work as one of the legal bibles they keep at hand.
Even in the computer age.

Fortunately, he's in Manhattan, so he has plenty to choose from: Brooklyn Bridge, Queensborough Bridge,
Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the list goes on and on.

the comment toward Blanche--who has not exactly endeared himself to anyone in this trial. It has to be obvious to the jury that the judge has slapped him down repeatedly so...

My guess only...

I added the uncensored version to the OP.

When I read that, my first thought was, "Oh, looks like at least some of the jurors have pegged Blanche as a jerk."

eating lunch together and talking about family, work, not the case.

I have been on a few juries. One lady brought us homemade tamales for lunch.

Trying to 'hold out' after the humiliation tsf has suffered from the evidence and 1st hand testimony...plus there are two lawyers on the jury. Maybe I'm dreaming, but I wouldn't want to be a juror saying "I'm just not sure.."

him.

Shouldn't the cross be trying to prove Cohen a liar and not a truth teller?

Gave her the set up lines so she could mow them down.

Trump's attorneys think everyone is stupid.

They don't know how to handle people who are smarter than they are.

So they wouldn't know intelliigence if it bit them in the....

They are surrounded by yes men who only say what Trump wants to hear.
They cannot handle normal people.

Amazing.

The jury loved it.

coming across like his client, thin-skinned and someone who can dish it out but can't take it?

Reads to me like some of the jury doesn't take Blanche seriously (nor should they). Good. Hopefully he loses his credibility among the other jurors.

Somehow I don't think Cohen is that impressed with Blanche.

That's like legal 101.

Cohen is hardly alone on that one.

And just more fodder for an appeal of a conviction.

Now court is adjourned for the day.

But in the last minutes of cross, Blanche seemed to be scattershot in portraying the contradictory and lying behavior of Cohen around Trump, attempting to discredit even Cohen's honesty.

Telling the jury what a monster Trump is.

"Do you admit that you called Mr. Trump the mushroom of the month?"
"Yeah. And I also called him the onion-skinned artichoke. And--"

I mean, what exactly do they expect the jury to get out of this? I suppose it's that these witnesses are biased? I don't think that's the most likely response.

with this jury.

I would love to see the courtroom drawing of Anal Fistula's face on that one.

Pundits on MSNBC's Deadline White House are saying the word among the courtroom observers is that Blanche is bombing.

* yeah... Blanche is TOTALLY a "crying little shit."

Todd.

I grew up in Mi'ssippi - where the smiling backstab was more common.

When they slithered toward you, and oozed out an "Oh, hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!" - you knew something was up.
