You don’t even need to be in the legal profession to see how unrealistic all that surprise evidence and sudden witness stand confessions and melodrama are, you just need to have sat on a jury, or watched a trial from the gallery. But nobody wants to watch an actual unedited trial for entertainment. (Same way watching unedited police work would involve a lot of paperwork and waiting around in courts and hospitals and directing traffic.) That shit is bo-ring. I would rather sit in a featureless silent room all day.
