For Edwards to be such a successful lawyer, he must've been up against some really baaaaaad lawyers.
I disagree. I think he is AWESOME tort liability plaintiff lawyer. I have no question why he was spectacularly successful. Channelling babies who were never born because of junk science smears on good hearted ObGYns.
He has all the soulless bullcrap tools to manipulate easily manipulated people with his lies and manipulations. Look at his closing statement. He's a punk, but to a fat butted postal worker who hates HMOs and wants to move a bunch of money from their owners to "the people who was hurt", he's Robin Hood.
We Freepers would never make final cut to sit on any jury in front of which he argued. We're too smart and sane. We're not civil servants and welfare chronics who are "think of what someone could do with all that money" corporation haters.
