He provided the attorney, the judge, the jury, and the expert witnesses.
I suppose since I have a bit of a theatre background, I have a different feeling about events such as this trial. My friend, Pam Brown, will be portraying Mary in this production. And, that is exactly what it is -- a theatrical production. If events such as this one create interest in the topic and people are inspired to read well written history books, then I applaud the cast and crew. I have the same feelings toward well done historical films. We are a society that craves entertainment. It is a credit to the actors when their craft entertains and educates.
