Melinda Trask: What an egregious and deliberate misrepresentation of the facts :angry:And what is the deal with just throwing out Nick like that? Maybe this is something that varies from state to state and maybe DrBakerFan could address, it but isn't there a rule about "prior bad acts" not being admissible? I know this is TV, but wouldn't a judge most likely tell a jury to disregard that. Or would it be allowed since opening statements aren't supposed to be considered as evidence anyway?
I also found her constant looking at the defense table and smirking at Gabi to be very unprofessional. I would suggest she watch re-runs of "Perry Mason" and closely study the demeanor of hapless D.A Hamilton Burger. He never won a case against Perry, but he was always the picture of class, decorum and professionalism.
