Adriana And Tafia Trial Analysis

The trial went very well, in my opinion and everyone was able to keep up with their professional roles. The lawyers did a very good job on coming up with questions on the spot and then stating what they were trying to prove by asking those questions. In particular, Adriana and Tasfia did very good on trying to prove their claim and make sure that the answers they got would tie back to their original claim. I liked how Adriana would ask medical questions to the doctors and she was able to ask questions that would support Bigger’s insane mentality.
