Gross did not ask what that book was. Grrrr...

She also would be an incompetent investigator. Other than that, she'd do a tolerable job as a trial attorney. Citing her as an example for trial-practice students seems to me to make no sense at all. I think you just like her. Terry Gross would be an incompetent cross-examiner. She also would be an incompetent investigator. Other than that, she’d do a tolerable job as a trial attorney.

She is a marvelous example of how to LISTEN to the answers your witness gives, and then how to EXPLORE the information they give you. Listen to her from the point of view of a trial lawyer. She is awesome! I've recommended her to trial workshop students too. Just wanted to pass this along.
