(1,159 posts)If I'm innocent and I have the same script writers as the show, then Perry Mason (who only lost one case when his client refused to testify on her own behalf). Otherwise, Jake Brigance from "A Time to Kill," portrayed by McMatthew McConaughey in the movie.

(34,189 posts)I've been watching "Bull" on Roku TV. The lead character is a jury consultant who manages to select specific jurors and bend the narrative of the trial to favor the defendant. It makes seem as though this effort is more important to the outcome of trials than the attorneys involved.
