He testified, sometimes emotionally, in exchange for the reduction of his possible 15-year prison sentence to five months on Rikers Island.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The defense\u2019s closing arguments also seized on that arrangement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">\u201cThe prosecutors had him by the balls,\u201d [a] Trump Org. attorney told jurors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/12\/01\/trump-organization-lawyers-blame-ex-cfo-for-tax-fraud-scheme-00071649\">https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/12\/01\/trump-organization-lawyers-blame-ex-cfo-for-tax-fraud-scheme-00071649<\/a> (last visited 1\/2\/2023).\u00a0 The telling was not merely verbal \u2013 as one news outlet reported, the words were said as counsel was \u201cgesturing suggestively with his hand while staring at the jury.\u201d\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/amp\/news\/trump-organization-trial-closing-arguments-allen-weisselberg\/#app\">https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/amp\/news\/trump-organization-trial-closing-arguments-allen-weisselberg\/#app<\/a> (last visited 1\/2\/2023).<\/p>\n<p>The second instance?\u00a0 In the trial of Harvey Weinstein for sexual assault offenses in Los Angeles, defense counsel labeled one of the complainants a \u201cbimbo.\u201d\u00a0 The exact quote was \u201cshe is just another bimbo who slept with Harvey Weinstein to get ahead in Hollywood.\u201d What is the meaning of this term?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cA person,typically a woman,regarded as beingintellectuallyvacuousandhaving an inordinateinterest in appearingsexually\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201c[A]n attractivebutstupidyoungwoman,onewithloosemorals.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201c[A]n attractivebutempty-headedyoung\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/bimbo\">https:\/\/www.thefreedictionary.com\/bimbo<\/a> (last visited 1\/2\/2023).<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with juror reactions.\u00a0 In the tax trial, this is what an alternate juror reported:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The woman said that she spoke with her fellow alternates after they were dismissed, and that they shared her views. She noted that, like her, they were younger than the other jurors, and might have been more likely to see things similarly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">But she said the defense team\u2019s arguments didn\u2019t convince her of the corporation\u2019s innocence. In fact, she said she found the defense\u2019s style to have been bullying and, at times, inappropriate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/06\/nyregion\/trump-organization-fraud-trial-jury.html\">https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/06\/nyregion\/trump-organization-fraud-trial-jury.html<\/a> (last visited 1\/2\/2023).\u00a0 Is that shocking?<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Consider the summary of juror comments collected by Judge Amy J. St. Eve as well as the Judge\u2019s assessment in the 2020 article WHAT JURIES REALLY THINK: PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR FUTURE TRIAL LAWYERS, 89 Fordham L. Rev. 2621, 2625:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t put on a show,&#8221;&#8211;&#8220;just present the evidence.&#8221; Here we are, no drama, just present the evidence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;Calm down and don&#8217;t let emotions get in the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;Eye contact and an attempt to tell a coherent story to the jury was effective.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">&#8220;Speak to the jury, like you&#8217;re speaking face to face with one person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">No drama? This was a common theme throughout the questionnaire. And my last point here is, don&#8217;t use TV lawyers as your guide. Jurors would say that. They don&#8217;t like it if you are overdoing it. You can certainly be passionate and should be passionate about your case. But don&#8217;t cross over the line into too many theatrics. The jurors don&#8217;t like attorneys who are overdramatic, and one juror said that she would like to see the attorneys &#8220;calm down and not let emotions get in the way.&#8221; So keep the drama out of the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p>And advocacy masters?\u00a0 Let me hearken back to Irving Younger and his \u201c10 Commandments\u201d Lecture.\u00a0 In one iteration, Younger explains that to show a witness\u2019 bias all that needs to be said in closing is that \u201cshe\u2019s his mother\u201d or words to that effect.\u00a0 Younger\u2019s insight as to the jury deliberation process was telling \u2013 as he noted wryly, once in the jury room the words \u201cshe\u2019s a [expletive deleted] liar\u201d would be said.<\/p>\n<p>That intuited lesson dovetails with brain science.\u00a0 Consider this from John Blumberg\u2019s <em>Persuasion Science for Trial Lawyers:<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">People are usually more convinced by rea\u00adsons they discovered themselves than by those found out by others. By enticing the jurors to fill in the missing infor\u00admation, they will reach the desired conclusions. If you tell them, they will resist; but when they arrive at their own con\u00adclusion, it sticks because they have persuaded themselves.<\/p>\n<p><em>Persuasion Science, <\/em>56.<\/p>\n<p>To test my assessment I reached out to PhD and nationally respected jury consultant Melissa Gomez (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmgjury.com\/who-we-are\/melissa-m-gomez\/\">https:\/\/www.mmgjury.com\/who-we-are\/melissa-m-gomez\/<\/a>) .\u00a0 Here is her take:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Not only do I agree with your conclusions, but it is important to note that these comments by attorneys were likely quite helpful to the opposition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Attorneys are a reflection of their clients. So, in the examples you gave, the Trump organization\u2019s attorney, by making a lewd comment in court, \u00a0reflected a total lack of regard for professionalism and appropriate behavior. Instead, he perfectly demonstrated the actions of a company who believes it can act however it wants, wherever it wants. Verdict for the prosecution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Similarly, in calling a claimant a \u201cbimbo,\u201d Weinstein\u2019s attorney could not have done a better job for the prosecution in reflecting how his client views and objectifies women. Again, verdict for the prosecution.<\/p>\n<p>These kinds of statements aren\u2019t just in poor taste. They are bad advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Calling a witness a \u201cBimbo.\u201d Making suggestive hand gestures.\u00a0 These were highlighted facets of two closing arguments in high-profile criminal trials in the calendar year 2022.\u00a0 Were they a reflection of our national political discourse; an attempt to be aggressive as part of zealous representation; or offensive, stupid and ineffectual?\u00a0 The final term \u2013 ineffectual<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"coauthors":[330],"class_list":["post-3659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brain-lessons"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>WHAT WERE (WEREN\u2019T) THEY THINKING?
