Though few of his legal arguments broke new ground in this trial, his persona hit oratorical and emotional pay dirt -- here was an impassioned defender of Bill Clinton that this jury could trust.

Further, you noted that once Citibank had the funds, "no documents linked that money to Salinas." That shows an extraordinary amount of trust on Salinas' part.
