Thank you, Tracy. Glad you liked it! That quote is a new one on me. In fact, if I’d known it at the time, I might have opened with it. The 24 parody is great, isn’t it? Btw, I’m about half way through the first season of Serial. I’m really enjoying it, & feel like Jay is up to no good… Great recommendation, thanks!
Loved this analysis of narrative in the court and deliberations rooms! Reminds me of the Errol Morris quote, "A trial is not a science fair, but rather a magic show. A show based on appearances and logical fallacies and sleight of hand. It isn’t about proof. It is about convincing the jury.” But I think story is probably a bit more precise. Also, I am eternally grateful for the link to the 24 parody. Genius.
