Thanks for the insight. Hindsight being 20-20, it does seem that the plea bargain would have been a better option. But, then perhaps, their perspective on what actually occurred caused them to go to trial. The lawyers must be feeling a little bad about the loss about now.
I am sure the lawyers are feeling bad about the outcome of the trial,I always do after a loss in a jury trial in which they obviously thought they had a triable case. In my years of practice, one thing I found out that I did not learn in law school, is how important it is in a trial how good your client or primary witness in a case preforms on the stand, is an indicator of the outcome of the trial.
