110/ Phang:
Katie's Sidebar: Blanche's cross of Cohen has been about 5 hrs. Just mins before lunch, Blanche decided to finally hit a substantive area, crossing him about an important 10/24/16 call w/Trump.
Usually cross-exam is "get in/get out" moment. The more prolonged & meandering the cross, the harder it is for the jury to be invested & to stay invested. Blanche has shown that it takes him a long time to wind up for the pitch; I'm not sure jury cares enough to wait for him to get there
