Your comment:

"I probably misunderstood the question"

I was wondering why you mentioned Jack Reacher!

If I'm innocent and I have the same script writers as the show, then Perry Mason (who only lost one case when his client refused to testify on her own behalf). Otherwise, Jake Brigance from "A Time to Kill," portrayed by McMatthew McConaughey in the movie.

I've been watching "Bull" on Roku TV. The lead character is a jury consultant who manages to select specific jurors and bend the narrative of the trial to favor the defendant. It makes seem as though this effort is more important to the outcome of trials than the attorneys involved.

... Especially, if I committed the crime at sea where maritime law applies.

But, not Bob Loblaw despite his excellent Law Blog.

and Vincent LaGuardia Gambini I has a proven history in that area.

If you prefer a lawyer who engages in slut shaming and victim blaming there’s Mike McMack
