Summary

This quote suggests that the outcome of a trial may not necessarily be based on the truth or the evidence presented, but rather on the skill and argumentation of the lawyers involved. It implies that the jury's decision could lean more towards favoring the attorney who presents their case more convincingly, rather than focusing solely on the merits of the case itself. This interpretation highlights the potential for bias and manipulation within the judicial system, where the selection and persuasion of a lawyer could heavily influence the outcome of a trial.
