Up close, Alex’s savoir faire
Kicks in—winsome smile, hair
To die for, smart sentence syntax,
Precise mixture of faux nasal drip
And eye moisture to churn a jury,
Capture the AI red bulb of a robotic
Camera feed for TV’s ripe audience.
Two Kleenex tissues, Perry Mason
plot to sway one juror’s heart.
Earl Wilcox writes from South Carolina, where Mr. Murdaugh is on trial. The news from the low country is riveting.
