Sully was embarrassed. Not because of Marty, but because he was ill prepared. Making a statement that Nic hurt him when, in reality, that was far from the truth. He couldn't even tell Marty where he sat on any of the lists. Aaaannnndddd, in the end, he more or less admitted that USAPA's actions hurt him more financially.Actually, the last three lines of what I printed re: Sully were from cross-examination. Don't shoot me.
I'm not sure I buy the handed his rear end stuff. Marty Harper did take the role of the sage older attorney deflating the sails of the celebrity witness. It took a lot of skill to handle that difficult job as well as he did. As for a net benefit/deficit I think in the long run it didn't hurt. What I do think the defendants got lucky about was that the witness/celebrity may have taken forefront in the jury's memories of what happened as they head to the weekend. The alternative was Mr. Bringle going off in open court in front of the jury.
And the integrity thing - wow. Marty had Sully tell the jury that USAPA's actions didn't jive with his own definition of integrity. And thanks to Seham and company for allowing us to use ALPA merger policy and the Nic during cross.
And Brengle's behavior showed that he lost Sully. His objections fell on deaf ears as he tried to protect Sully from Marty's questioning to a point where a bailiff was summoned into the courtroom.
Heck of a circus Brengle and Seham are putting on with all their huffing and objecting.
Can't wait to see Jack's cross on Tuesday.
