Trying to sway the jury with emotional impact rather than appeals to reason is not how it should be done.

- brainburn 12y agoYeah I wonder what other purpose this testimony could have. Seems to me a moment where a lawyer in the movies would shout 'objection, relevancy' or something.
- narag 12y agoThe reason is stablishing two facts: that he wouldn't have sold if not for SR and that the buyers wouldn't have bought if not for SR. Also in he article you'll find why: it's a rebuttal to some defense's argument. I would have asked the witness the source of the $3,500 before he had access to Silk Road. But it doesn't seem just an arbitrary emotional trick.
- martinko 12y agoTrue, but this is not his trial.
- chiph 12y agoIdeally, no. But it works.
