The greatest lawyers see things in black and white. They know that shades of grey exist, the just can't be bothered with 'em. They know that emotion exists, but they have a hard time divining them for themselves.
They are the ones that, at trial, say "F--k emotion, you are duty-bound to set emotion aside and employ LOGIC. Exclusively."
The most effective legal practitioners say, "Do you FEEL that this person is (insert undesired verdict here)? Because, if you don't, you must find for my client."
And that is why Casey's leaving jail today.
