And now back to my reading update. Up to this point, the firm Finley and Figg has taken a very hard beating from the Defence team. I hope we have reached rock bottom and maybe it looks like some good luck might finally come along for David, the last standing lawyer. The other 2 partners could not take the stress and abandoned him.
I think there is another message in this story. Attractive women are successful because of their looks. They make it to the top using looks as their weapon. That seems to be what the story conveys when they describe the invincible Defence lawyer Nadine. When David's wife offered to help out as a paralegal, heads from the Defence team turned because she was more taller and better looking than the Defence lawyer Nadine. Ha! I think another message would be: Behind every successful man, is a woman. David's wife is the heroine. She was always his listening ear and she helped him find the nasty teeth case. And now she is here in court as a paralegal to provide some emotional support to him because they both know that the trail was going to be bloody for him. Isn't she sweet? Also...perhaps another story theme is that it's always important to have family support when you have problems. Both Oscar and Wally don't have stable relationships unlike David who is happily married and young. I stopped at the part where David finds the nasty teeth in a store at the patrol station. I'm looking forward to watching the hero pick himself up to save the day. Go David! Go!
