People do not understand what cross-examination is. Many think it is a procedure where the witness is made to confess on the stand that he is a liar.
That is TV stuff.
Wait until the closing argument when the prosecution takes Blagojevich’s own words and throws them back in his face to show how what he said on the witness stand proved the allegations of the indictment.
From reading what has occurred I think they will destroy Blago in closing.
Two things to keep in mind—-the last jury was 11 to 1 for guilty. That having been said each jury is its own organism.
While I still think he will be convicted I am not using any of my money to bet.
Yeah, I’m certainly not going to assume the jury will get it right, but he’s making no sense and when that is put into the proper context, it should be very effective.
