First, why would he run out into the shooting. Second, why would he stand up against the wall.
Huh. Two years later? I thought somehow his kid would grow up and get revenge.
Huh. He shook his head but he took him
Haha. Lol. The one juror who made it too obvious.
But this whole recording thing seems to make it cheating/illegal
He said "Harkin sandbagged us." Who is Harkin? The judge?
Given that it's clear Nicolas Easter has some kind of twist, it's amazing the kind of front he puts on. Earlier when he got the jury duty paper, he said Christmas came early, which means he's happy, but he also banged the mailbox
Hahaha. Damn. They told them he hopes they're feeling patriotic and he got them to do the Pledge of Allegiance. Quite the parlor trick. Like uh... what's it called? The type of magicians who use suggestions.
Wow. "It's a parlor game." I apparently nailed the word.
I feel like he should put on a show of the chase perhaps but I'm not sure if he would have really left any sensitive data on his computer
Damn he really had at it with the car
Hehe. He got the guy on tape.
Not zeroed out... probably intentionally not zeroed out.
Hmm. I was thinking he'd be smart enough for a double plant (mp3 player) but it's revealed in his conversation he doesn't want that leaked
She asked for 10 million which is above the 7.5 million he asked. He wants to pay just 500 K.
What's the point of avoiding her photo taken if she reveals her face to him
I feel like... in the end they wouldn't do it for the money.
Whoa. Love their conversation in the bathroom
Exactly. That's what I would think as well. Rankin Fitch is able to do all the things he does because he exactly doesn't care to begin with.
I would bite him or kick him in the nuts.
Oh nice. Eye gouge.
Holy shit. She managed to win the fight.
I would say they take the money from Fitch and still swing the case to Firearms. Of course, I feel like I've seen this movie before...
Damn. That guy was getting emotional when reading the papers but he still snitched.
Oh wow. It's revealed Fitch worked that case in Gardner, Indiana. They weren't just pushing for passing gun control but for getting revenge on Fitch.
110 million in general damages... That money just goes to that one person? Or does general damages go to those affected?
The news says it's awarded to just her. That's crazy
I mean... he must be rich anyways. What does he really lose from losing the trial? I mean his future income perhaps.
