Amber’s last-minute strategy of gaining additional points from the judge through her lawyer, Elaine, did not work well. Benchu intervened to save the day, but the damage was already done and may have hurt Amber’s chance of winning more than she thought. The last day of the trial was intense, and no one was ready to back down.
The last arguments were delivered without much confrontation, and everyone was in a lighter mood.
The judge, Carrick, gave her final instructions to the jury, and even made jokes. She thanked everyone for cooperating and behaving until the very last day, and things were looking brighter. However, Elaine started speaking and trying to please the judge by humoring her and showering her with compliments, which was unprofessional.
Several fans have commented on how poor Lane handled their closing arguments, which caused them a lot of time. One fan wrote that Elaine started her closing arguments leaning into damages, which wasted time and gave the judge the impression that she could get cheap points from playing favorites.
However, some fans believe that Elaine messed up and how this behavior will affect Amber’s chance of winning. Share your thoughts on Elaine’s behavior and how it will affect Amber’s chance of winning in the comments below.
