Heh. When an attorney chooses what cases he takes before a jury trial, legal merit isn't generally the top thing on his agenda. A sympathetic defendant is. If it was strictly a legal merit case, you go for a bench trial, so that you're arguing your case to a professional, not a layperson.
I don't know Edward's record. I DO know trial advocacy.
