Really, Reynal? Because at this point you should pray to God Satan that you somehow switch places with literally anyone else there, other than Alex.

For the unaware:

Compensatory damages aren't capped. That's what this phase is

In Texas Punitive damages are capped at 750,000 dollars - BUT THE JURY IS NOT INFORMED OF THIS

So he's trying to push the bulk of the jury's imposed damages to the Punitive phase because nothing over the cap has to be paid out.

On the bright side it's gonna be a SHITLOAD easier to make something stick in Connecticut now that they'll have Alex's phone back up :getin:

I can only imagine what was going through his mind when Bankston dropped the bomb earlier.
Probably something like "My loving closing arguments are toasted, man. I can't rewrite them over lunch. gently caress it, I'll just send it anyway."

This closing is sooooo closely to jury tampering and misstating the law but doesn’t cross the line. Maybe this is why people hire Reynal - to be a complete shitbag and twist damages.
