"...think of it as another brick that, with all the other bricks, builds a structure."
Or they can just as easily remain a 'pile of bricks' due to lack of mortar. My take is that the prosecution is building his house from either straw or sticks, not bricks. When the 'big bad wolf' (Geragos) comes by he will have a good chance of blowing down the house built by the prosecution.
There's no lack of mortar (cement) in this case.
