But it’s been a tough offseason for her defense team.
Which we’ll get to.

But here’s where we are at in this case.
Everything is up for debate.
Everyone is too entrenched in their positions to give an inch.
Which brings us back to yesterday’s hearing about the alleged payments to Crash Daddy.
…
During Tuesday’s hearing, Bob Alessi defended the defense team’s handling of the witnesses.
Alessi laid out the timeline of communications with the ARCCA witnesses ahead of Read’s first trial.
Did I really use the word “succinct”?
Let me take that back.
But this illustrates as well as anything where we’re at when it comes to this trial.
I’m not saying it’s not important.
But this has devolved into an argument about the argument.
I’ve thoroughly lost the point of the exercise.
Which puts me in the minority.
Because like I said earlier, all the internet law professors have made up their minds.
And both sides are declaring victory on a motion hearing that hasn’t even resulted in a ruling.
The courtroom equivalent of watching Patrick Mahomes take a Roughing the Passer penalty alongside a Chiefs fan.
You both see what you want to see.
All we can hope for is we find one.
But that ship sailed a long time ago.
