I stopped at ‘Yes, he replies, but the defense attorney is yelling “objection,” and after a period of silence the judge tells you to forget that.’
In a real trial, as opposed to on TV, attorneys must state the reason for their objection. Notwithstanding, I get the point behind the article and it may be a good point, but this is sloppy writing, which can be a telltale for sloppy reasoning and sloppy conclusions.
