    When Clay beat his case, Rhonda told Bond, "Whatever it is, they don't teach it in law school" shows how Stringer was way over his head thinking he was ready for the business world because he took a business class in community college . Clay had more street smarts than Stringer and he never ran a drug empire. The Wire had master class writing💯

  • @lhfirex

    I can't fault Clay's lawyer, Billy Martin (I think that's the character's name) for coming up with that defense. It's a brilliant strategy to use all the evidence that Bond has against him and then to say "so what? it all went back to the people in my district." He uses absence of proof to explain away the paper trail they built against him, and I don't know how they could ever get him on any of this.
    Shows how unprepared Bond was. And the thing is, even though we know Clay's a snake, we also know Bond is only doing this to raise his own rep in the city so he can become the next mayor after Carcetti. Rhonda did most of the actual legal prep work, and then Bond swoops in at the end and says he'll lead the prosecution.

    • @someguy1900
      @someguy1900 6 месяцев назад +8

      Bond's ego led to the case's failure, Clay was able to sweet-talk the jury because they were from Baltimore. But he wouldn't have been to pull the "We have it hard out here" shtick if he was in front of a federal jury.
