1. it reads as though much of this closing was written months before the trial.

That is really no different than any other extended trial. all the witnesses had been deposed and everyone knew in advance pretty much what the testimony would be.

You think the closing argument by the plaintiff wasn't written months ago?

Except when one side commits perjury during deposition and gets called on it at the trial.
