Yesterday morning, Lawyer Lincoln Taylor, cocky and arrogant, strutted into the packed court room, full of himself and bristling with confidence to defend his client.

His client, Miss Rosie McFee, sat with her head down, hair hiding her face.  She was innocent  of the fraud for which she was framed but she did not like her swaggering lawyer and didn't know if she could trust him to win her case.  This controversial man could be so irritating with his smirks and smiles, and you could never second guess what he'd do, except that although within legal limits, it would be eccentric and unconventional.  However, she'd heard his win rates were over the top, yet her unease was evident.  Her wringing hands, and nervous twitches increased pace as Lawyer Taylor made his entrance and slipped in beside her, grinning and winking at her for good measure.

When interviewed later, one of Lawyer Taylor's fans, who had attended the court session, said, "When Lawyer Taylor marched into court, his fans cheered and clapped much to the annoyance of those who despise him.  Those 'haters' shouted, "Boo-o-oo!" almost drowning out the cheers."  One of the detractors adamantly declared, "That Lawyer Taylor cheated, you could see it in his crafty and cunning smile."  Another fan told the reporter, "Lawyer Taylor characteristically made the offense sweat, shooting his 'magic bullet' evidence creating much reasonable doubt, that shot off the charts, freeing Rosie McFee."

Judging by the smile on Rosie Mcfee's face, she must have decided she liked her lawyer after all.  With head up, shoulders back, she gratefully escaped the court room, exonerated.

It is always great entertainment watching Lawyer Taylor in action.  Of course, that despite the disparagers who hate him.  His next 'drama' appearance will be tomorrow at 10 AM.  See you there.
