I always hear about rich people hiring expensive lawyers to escape punishments. How do they do that, and what stops more accessible lawyers from achieving the same result?

People get this wrong. I have been on a jury for seven weeks one time but more typically for one or a half of a day. Comparing a good lawyer to an average lawyer is like an Oscar winning performance to a high school play. Legal arguments and technicalities may carry weight with a judge but for a jury, it’s all about getting the jury on your side. This ability intimidates the prosecutor and makes them more likely to agree to reduce charges or sentences rather than take their chance in court. That skill is why most successful politicians are lawyers.
