Whoops. Sorry. Didn't the defense attorney object to much of this stuff? The objections on closing argument were sustained, and the use of the FDA witness by Posner's description didn't seem to be by consent of the defense.

Right. I was just saying that he should have named whoever defense counsel was. Good resume stuff.

I would think "acquittal on appeal, opinion by Posner, J." would be pretty good standing alone.

She was the prosecutor. Or prosecutrix, I suppose.*
