Dusek's constant objections probably work against him.

The jury is smart enough to know to take opening and closing arguments with a grain of salt (look at Dusek's opening and note the absence of delivery on his 'promises').

Feldman was probably playing a hunch that by not objecting he would like the wiser and more confident attorney. Dusek looked plenty worried ... his whole career is tied to this turd he was handed. So sad, too bad.

So your theory is that both the judge and Feldman set the stage for a guaranteed mistrial ? The difference in instructions is so central to the case that it would mean the whole case would be appealable.
