(44,493 posts)Are you ever in the barber/stylist's chair halfway through the haircut, and you look at what he/she's doing, and you panic for a second and think that he or she is butchering your hair, and you think that for sure you'll end up with a horrible haircut?
When in fact the barber/stylist is merely parting or combing your hair in a stranger manner that looks bad at the moment, just to get a better cut that works for the overall haircut?
I know this, because I think this everytime I go into a haircut. The barber starts combing my hair in strange ways and I freak out.
And in the end, it all turns out looking fine. The overall result looks good.
The reason I say this is because the prosecution's case isn't built on a single witness, but instead requires multiple witnesses and foundation building, all which will be summed up in closing arguments.
If you focus on something one witnesses said during the course of his/her testimony without the context of the greater case, you'll create unnecessary panic.
My bottom line is: Wait until the haircut's done. Wait until the prosecution's finished its case and created its narrative in closing arguments, before passing judgment on how they've done.
