There was an interesting exchange between a lawyer and the judge on the Alex Jones Trial.

After addressing two evidentiary issues, the following occurred:

Judge:  Should we address what’s coming next?

Attorney Pettis:  No.  

Judge: Well, I think it might make sense.

Attorney Pettis:  Judge, I’m not responsible for giving my adversaries a preview of what’s to come anymore than apparently they were responsible for telling me what witnesses they were going to call today.  I understand your ruling.  This has been a contentious trial.  I am not going to be in the crosshair with you on the first day or second or fifteenth day of trial.  I understand your ruling, I will move on.   

This reminds me of a video from the WIN Archives where Attorney Richard Meehan explains the need for trial lawyers to learn how to be effective without being rude or disrespectful — to balance a pleasant demeanor with an assertive position.
