The defendants have great lawyers, and great lawyers have to be good storytellers.

It's not about what's best for the lawyers. It's about representing indigent defendants.

The 15 defendants did not have independent lawyers, they had state-appointed lawyers, who [reportedly] acted like prosecutors.

Lay is making eye contact with the jury, and they're not looking away from him, which is a very good sign for Lay.

The defendants are relying on a statute of limitations that applied to the Memphis board of adjustment that went out of existence 35 years ago. We believe that statute does not apply. The Tennessee legislature specifically enacted a 60 day statute of limitations that applies to boards and commissions and that statute of limitations should apply to this board.

The plaintiff asked for a permanent injunction to affect individuals other than the two defendants who have agreed to this.
