intelligent man and well versed in his profession,
although it didnt seem this way in the beginnings
of this case. As is clear to the viewer, he is
unorganized, aloof, and un confident. This is seen
in the scene that introduces him to the movie
(Show scene). Notice how he is clumsy, and keeps
dropping the papers. As we journey further into
the trial, Thomas confidence grows. At first, he
is not very confident, and this can be seen in his
stance - not...

resulted in the massive loss of human life. We
