Kissing Nas is definitely a supreme screw up if anybody else finds out.

That OJ quote was cringe worthy
I must've replayed that scene 4 times trying to figure out if there is something I was missing

I mean it made sense to me. The glove literally didn't fit and the prosecution would've been better off not bringing it to court. The inhaler and a scared kid who can't breathe doesn't fit the image of a murderer that would stab someone 21 times.
There's a parallel - not super clean but it's there. The dumb part is reminding the jury of a murderer who got off on technicalities, loopholes, and poor judgment. Probably the last thing you want to do with all the evidence stacked against nas.

There's definitely a connection, but she didn't have to use the Cochrain quote. Just felt so corny in the moment.
By that point though, I was already out of it because of the snappy/witty witness questioning dialogue.

I thought it was mentioned it was like June on the show in this ep.
I gotta assume American Crime Story: The People Vs. O.J. Simpson must've just finished airing before the trial started for that OJ mention to make sense

I get what your saying but that's a super reach from Stone/Chandra. Criminals not allowed to have asthma? Lol. Stone had an "aha" moment and that isht fizzled hard in court lol. Again, the best argument for this stuff is that they're all stupid.

I'm beginning to think that court scene went over a lot of peeps heads in here
I'll side with the dude who wrote for The Wire...

Im still disturbed by the first dude who was taking Naz under his wing. Like, bruh you entertaining him that long just to throw baby oil on him? Sus.

Yea in my opinion the court scene was done pretty well outside of smaller details. it heavily established how both the prosecution and defense use certain things to create a narrative. them using the asthma pump theory would leave a lasting impression on the jury, by simply creating doubt. Even if that wasn't box intentions, just the thought that he may have been trying to create a narrative from the start can sway a juror

Thats actually the second dude.First had to distant himself from Nas.

I think we're overthinking all the minor details, but what's new.
Let me contribute. The inhaler was an important point not because it proves Naz's innocence but because it casts doubt on the prosecution's objectivity. Simple enough.
The reference to OJ was a fresh lawyer caught up in the moment using a poor metaphor. We can debate whether it was True Detective season 2 poor writing or The Wire realistic writing, but I feel it falls in the latter category.

Did not read that line that way at all, but that makes a lot of sense. I can definitely see it as there to show Chandra's greenness. Great point.

The poor OJ reference makes chandra look like a rookie lawyer which i believe was the intent from the writers.
completely agree with Whywesteppin

She also isn't supposed to ask questions she doesn't know the answer to already
When she questioned the school guy on the stand she didn't even know Naz had been suspended twice after 9/11.

Y'all smart.
Here I was sitting here thinking it was just terrible writing.

Yeah, that bothered me because at the moment I was just in bad writing mode. I gotta watch it again with this in mind.

Yup, had she gone in there and hit homers with every question and cross examination it wouldn't be believable. Like how do you go from staying up all night cramming to write your intro to being one of the best lawyers for the biggest case in town? The shows subtle writing is phenomenal

That dude didn't take him under his wing. He just gave him newbie advice about staying to himself. And he moved because the bed next to him had been burnt to a crisp.
The guy I'm talking about was actually walking and hanging with Naz around the jail. Showing him how things work and how to move.

If it turns out that Naz did it I'll eat the Blazin' wings. I would also hate HBO for wasting my time. I have no doubt in my mind that he did not do it.

This.
It doesnt seem as if there is any coherent defense being presentted in the trial scenes. I think its being presented more for the viewers and the storyline as opposed to showing them realistically presenting a case.

Took us on a wild ride just to find out it Naz really did it

I have a feeling Naz is going to take the fall and we won't know who did it.

Naz ain't getting out, he's at home.
