Maybe Howard and I were destined for poker?
I have to thank my dear friend, Michael Craig, for digging up this quote from my grandfather, Craig Spangenberg, who was a pretty famous trial lawyer in his day:
“I am very much impressed with the work of men like Professor Ray Birdwhistell, who insists that more than 50% of all communication between human beings is done nonverbally – that is, by eyebrow, ear, shoulders, set, movement, tone. His observations are true. Because they are true, a lawyer cannot fake his way through a case and con a jury into a verdict he does not believe in himself. The jurors will know they are being conned; they will resent being thought of as such easy marks.”
Grandpa was thinking about this stuff way before Howard and I were even an idea. Maybe poker is what we were destined for?
Dear Duchess,
Thank you very much for sharing that quote from your grandfather. It hit me like …? Gosspel!
