...John Marshall Law School professor Ronald Smith describes Genson and his team as "verbal elbow throwers" who meticulously strategize and specialize in crafty back-and-forth before the jury. And Genson has already begun throwing elbows. On Thursday, his team asked Holderman to remove Fitzgerald and his entire prosecution crew because of a purported violation of a pretrial publicity order. ("Meritless," said the prosecutors.) Genson has also loudly pushed his claim that the government's case is much ado about nothing. Sure, the governor was heard talking of selling Obama's seat to the highest bidder, talking of getting Chicago...
Whatever the defense strategy, the trial is likely to be good theater. Genson and Fitzgerald have already been trading jabs in the legal back-and-forth during the impeachment proceedings and in the run-up to the indictment.

Back-and-forth play characterized much of the first period, and it wasn’t until Beaudoin scored at 8:55 to give the Bobcats the lead that the real action of the match began. The Crimson responded with a tally of its own a mere three minutes later when senior...
...score 11 and 10 points, respectively—both season-highs. The reserves came through, especially midway through the second half. As Maine rallied from a 30-23 halftime deficit to tie things up with about 14 minutes to play, strong play from the backups kept it a back-and-forth game for the next five minutes. After a layup from Lin with 9:33 left gave Harvard a 48-46 lead, McGeary nailed a three on the next possession to push the margin to five. After the hosts responded with a bucket, McNally nailed two free throws. He would...
