Building the Wolf Pack | Badlands, Texas

That was my jury. I really think that was obviously a good jury that we had. I've come to look at the jury like a wolf pack that you're about to get, and you're about to put that pack together. So you've got to pick you an alpha leader. Then you're going to pick a pack of followers that are going to follow that alpha leader where you want them to go.

It's not just good enough to get an alpha; you definitely don't want an alpha who's opposed to your client. His position, they're out there too. You better eliminate that one; you better make sure that one's gone. And then you got to not expose that to the prosecutor, that you like this one or you don't like this one.

In Tony's case in particular, one of the jurors who we did like very much [Music] we challenged for cause, knowing that challenge would not be sustained. So the prosecutor would think we were going to strike that jury with a peremptory challenge, which we didn't. And that juror made it on the jury, and that jury was, I think, very important in the decision that went our way.
