Hey there, folks.

It is Friday, December 12th, and we are officially on verdict watch in the Brian Walsh trial.

We talked to you earlier about the defense's closing argument.

We want to talk to you now about the prosecution's closing argument. With that,

welcome to this episode of Amy and Tj. We talked so much robed about how Larry Tipton, the defense

lawyer, was very performative on some of his antics, and he made you sit up and watch. It seemed

like the prosecution was trying to pick up some of those tricks to a certain degree.

Yes, we saw the lead prosecutor, the female prosecutor, be more dramatic.

She was not monotone, that's for sure.

But unfortunately, and I say unfortunately, because she went too far in the other direction.

She went from whispering at times to feeling sarcastic in others to yelling. And I'm not

exaggerating. Almost, I jumped up and I said, why is she yelling at the jury? So it was an attempt to

be more performative, to be more theatrical, which I think was needed. She just, it didn't feel like it's in her wheelhouse.

It didn't feel natural. It didn't feel normal. It felt like it really, like you were, she was

feigning every emotion she was trying to deliver. I don't know this woman. I hate to be,

don't want to criticize the job they have done. But we are sitting there as casual observers, and this is how things

are coming across to us. Yes, she was more animated. Yes, it did seem intentional. It seemed

like almost on her page where she was reading something. It was said in parentheses,

yell this line. Yeah, like it had, whisper this line. Correct. I feel like she practiced this at home.

And look, you know what?
