I think Feldman is off to a somewhat rough start.

He did fine.

He had to pop several bubbles before the jurors left for the evening. His arguments will begin in earnest tomorrow. No sense starting things he can't finish as he pleases. He will go over everything more rigorously and build to a crescendo that will leave Dusek in such a context that anything he says will make him look more corrupt.

He almost played a trump today, but restrained himself. Expect him to scold Mudd on his response to a prosecution objection tomorrow. Mudd's red-faced moment of shame will break any spell of charm the judge has laid on the jury.

All of the objections and sunsatined/overruled has been very pro-forma and dispassionate. He has let Dusek condition Mudd to some pretty obvious bias.

Today, "THAT..IS FOR... with all respect, judge, that is for the JURY to decide." Expect an even more conspicuous reprimand. The jury will suddenly see Mudd for the first time.

Or the jury would be disgusted with Feldman for trying to pull a stunt like that.

Feldman did as well as he could with a client that is guilty as hell. He won't even touch the DNA.
