#1 I Wish We Could See His Face
The opposing counsel decided that I had coached my witness and gave him lines to repeat. He accused him of lying. He asked the witness if he spoke to me before he testified and the witness said he had. The attorney looked like he thought he had me. He then asked the witness what I told him and the witness looked him dead in the eye, saying: “The first thing he told me was: tell the truth no matter what. He said the lawyer is never the one who goes to jail, and if I lie, I’m on my own.” The attorney looked like someone took the air out of him. Everyone in the courtroom simultaneously looked at me. It was the only time I’ve smirked or laughed in court. I wanted to put my feet up on the table like I was Vincent LaGuardia Gambini.
