There is no Perry Mason moment in the TSF hush money case.

Todd Blanche could never be a Perry Mason.

It may appear there is a Perry Mason moment but we don't see it first hand. But when reviewed and exhibited again it spoofs. I expect the prosecutors are more qualified than those in the OJ case.

In regards to the one minute thirty six seconds phone call. Andrew Weissmann brought up the ninety second tape Michael Cohen made. Andrew even suggested prosecution could count out ninety six seconds out to the jury.

Trials are never as dramatic as they are on television.

It is a preliminary hearing? That is there is no jury. At least the episodes I have watched.

And it had a Perry Mason moment with the handling of the glove. So much so that Cochran's line is still quoted today.

"If the glove don't fit, you must acquit."

Almost like that trial was tailor-made for TV.
