That's so interesting because I found Wayne difficult to listen to - something about his delivery and his "alright - let's try this" ..... but I did think he got that crazy psychiatrist well and truly health with.ForeverYoung wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 2:54 pmI liked all of JD's legal team but especially Wayne Dennison. He was the expert cross exam attorney. He was a take no BS guy and I liked his approach.
I also commend the firm's legal staff back at the office. I know how busy, time consuming and nerve wracking preparing for a trial can be and also many late hours meeting deadlines because I have been there myself. Unfortunately, most of these people never get congrats or thanks from the clients. The thank you cards, gifts, luncheons, etc are usually only for the attorneys. We know it is our jobs but it is disappointing sometimes not to be included in the celebrations. On the otherhand, it's rewarding to be part of a win in court, even though we are not physically there and I am sure JD's team is still celebrating. It is a really big win for all of them.AdeleAgain wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 3:31 pmThat's so interesting because I found Wayne difficult to listen to - something about his delivery and his "alright - let's try this" ..... but I did think he got that crazy psychiatrist well and truly health with.ForeverYoung wrote: ↑Thu Jul 14, 2022 2:54 pmI liked all of JD's legal team but especially Wayne Dennison.

It was Camille all the way for me. I suspect AH has never been spoken to in a sustained way like that in her life, and certainly not by a women more beautiful. I have re-watched so many times - there are moments AH is having to restrain herself from jumping over the panelling and thumping Camille.
I also thought Jessica (was it Jessica) who was such a good tie up cross examining JD. Her gentle voice matched his so well.
Ben was like the mastermind - also if you have time on a rainy afternoon - just sit and watch Ben's reactions. That man could not play poker - but the jury probably saw it all and shared his sentiments. They were a great team and it is lovely to see some of them having vacation time in Europe watching JD play.
So 11 days to go.
I tend to agree, and was disappointed to see he was not that well received by others. But AdeleAgain has made some very astute points. Legalbytes lawyers commented that TeamDepp ensured that all the junior lawyers had a chance to shine. Ben certainly oversaw the whole case very well.I liked all of JD's legal team but especially Wayne Dennison. He was the expert cross exam attorney. He was a take no BS guy and I liked his approach.
I noticed that too, right from the start. One of the lawyers on the stream I was watching noted that it was a stutter (or impediment of some sort), so I started listening to him a bit closer (figuring like you that he wouldn't be at that level unless he knew his stuff). By the end, I was pretty impressed. More like steady erosion rather than storm damage. Having said that, Ben was great (remember that bit in the mid-trial motion to dismiss where he pointed to Amber?). But Camille won my heart. To make partner, Camille must have had input into the case, not just fulfilled the role of a barrister turning up for the cross then leaving. When Ben leaves, I hope she is mentored further and rapidly progresses to senior partner. A lot will probably depend on the cases she takes on in future. I have no respect for lawyers like Marty Singer or Roberta Kaplan but I think Camille has more moral integrity to be on their trajectory. She may also turn her hand to politics - and that would be something to watch!I found Wayne Dennison difficult to listen to because his speech pattern was so halting. I suspect he struggled with a stutter or speech impediment of some sort, which would be a difficult thing to overcome in the legal profession where strong speech is needed. The fact that he is a partner, and Ben Chew trusted him with such important parts of the examinations and cross examinations, spoke volumes about his intelligence and ability. I am glad to hear so many of you praise his work.
