This is Rumpole's territory, but big ups to Phil Reizenstein for hanging a jury 8-4 for not guilty with a death qualified jury. That doesn't happen every day of the week. Dave Ovalle from the Herald has the details on some really great lawyering.
Justice Ginsburg has a trainer. The WP Post covers this neat story about how she can now do 20 pushups:
Ginsburg and Johnson are an unlikely pair, the world-class lawyer and her physical powerhouse of a trainer. He stands an inch shy of 6 feet, weighs 206 pounds and can pump out 84 push-ups in two minutes. She’s just over 5 feet and just over 100 pounds — and she has passed her own milestone on the green mat.
“When I started, I looked like a survivor of Auschwitz,” Ginsburg said in an interview. “Now I’m up to 20 push-ups.”
And those are old-fashioned, knees-off-the-ground push-ups, her trainer proudly points out.
Discretion is a big part of the unwritten job description for people like Johnson, people who cut hair, cook meals, tailor suits — and keep secrets for those in power. Johnson often knows when his well-known clients are tired or sick — or why they’ve had a rough day on the bench.
The Tourney starts tomorrow, so expect slow blogging for a few days. Go Canes.

Rumpole would not post in too great detail about how Phil did, anymore than you post on your blog when you have a great result in one of your cases.
Having said that, it was certainly a great job of lawyering to get that result. I guess it will be trial number three in that case in the not too distant future.
