Assuming that this is true, it sounds to me like Dusek thought he was losing the jury, not winning them, so he quit.

That is definately implied. But was it a sympathetic sigh, a sign to Dusek that he made his point and they agreed that Hall was being uncooperative or was the sigh one of disgust, they felt Dusek was wasting their time. I have learned, that especially of it comes from a female, never assume what a sigh means.

Further, I listened to Dusek. He doesn't seem to be aware of how others are perceiving him. He gets too focused on his objective and seems to have a low frustration level. I think he is too dense to end his line of questioning because of how the jury was perceiving him. If he did then he should have gotten signals way before that. But his voice might not match his body language, I would have to see him to be sure.

That is a good evaluation of Dusek. How do you perceive Feldman? During the opening arguments - I disliked Feldman's style - but he has grown on me - Dusek at first seemed more relatable - but I have since found him to be dull and patronizing. It will be interesting to see the closings. Feldman will probably be intense.
