There is no script. This is a very simple, very typical criminal trial, where the D is trying all sorts of media tricks to tilt the potential jury pool in their favor.
In addition, the D lawyers are using the media coverage as a marketing tool for their practices.
But, remember, this is Texas, rural Texas and BS doesn’t work there.
Oh, there very definitely is a script. Limited, Modified hangout. It has been used for over 100 years. Maybe longer.
Look. I like most Texans. I grew up in New Mexico. I KNOW Texas. Most of the state is 100 feet above sea level. If it weren’t for BS Texas would be the size of Rhode Island. THATs how much BS is in Texas. LBJ was from Texas. Believe it or not DAN RATHER is from Texas. Need I continue?
Outside of a mountain Texas stole from New Mexico and a few hills around Austin Texas is flatter than a pool table. Geographically Texas is as boring as hell. What is the drop on the Brazos? Something like 8 feet in 800 miles? For crying out loud, you can SEE Lubbock from Odessa.
Sure a few rich folks have giant ranches and a lot of rich folk have great places to live but the bottom half of the income distribution in Texas aren’t living a great deal better than ghetto rats. I will say this in your favor. You guys love Texas and that is a great thing. People should be proud of where they are and what they are up to but let’s not get carried away about how “great” Texas is.
Like I say, I understand Texans. I wouldn’t brag about New Mexico and I grew up there. Hell, New Mexico is just Texas with mountains. I understand the whole pick up, guns, Friday Night Lights. For crying out loud, I could load my guns in my F150 and drive over there right now and you wouldn’t be able to tell me from one of you. I even have my triple beaver Stetson and boots in the closet. I talk like you. I have even had people ask me where the hell i am from with the “Howdys and Ya’lls”.
So don’t start up with the “no BS in Texas”. Hell I grew up listening to storytellers whose entire point was they are full of it. You gotta realize that what we know today as “A Texan” was a reaction to the SJW of 100 years ago. The Wobblies and such. The progenitors of the Dan Rathers. I think that is a damn good thing. BS ain’t always a bad thing. Anything can be a tool for good. So Texas is full of it. That’s great.
