The law is often considered absolute, fair and just as it is applied blindly and without prejudice. Most would acknowledge that present day cases, where the defendants' names are easily recognizable, those cases are tried in multiple courts. The court of public opinion and the the court in which defendants & plaintiffs present their case to Judge and Jury. In the intersection of the two lies the art of communication, story, perception and the truth. Richard Gabriel "is a one of the preeminent trial consultants in the country.
