What we don't want is a noose around our necks.

Less rope is needed for two necks as the Government's noose tightens.

When some one messes up dont give them too much rope because people tend to get creative.

We didn't go into as much depth in the mock trial with the defense case. The jury saw and heard more (at actual trial).

We wanted to know if we were on the right track. It helped us emphasize some things more than others.
