Paul C. Brunson

I am not, you have to have a very defined sense of self to do what I do at the level I do it.

Like you just have to have a sense of like, yeah, I'm a tool.

I mean, again, I'd rather have a shotgun and not need it than need a shotgun and not have it.

I just have it there, because it's like, hey, listen, if it happens that somebody comes busting through the door, I've got protection in place.

I don't embrace violence.

I don't taunt people.

If I taunt the other side, it's tactical.

I'm trying to get them to lose their cool on the witness stand.

I do that all the time.

Like I'll taunt the other side constantly.

Like if someone's on the witness stand and I'm getting under their skin and I think I can get them to explode, I will do that.

I will push them.

I've even had it that like the judge is looking away and I kind of wink at them, like, or I'll kind of like blow him a kiss, like something to amp them up because I want them to blow up.

And I go, your honor, you see what's happening right here?

This person is having such a hard time controlling themselves.

Can you imagine how they are at home?

And again, that's the job.

I'm an advocate, I'm a weapon, that's my job, is to go in and to just, and again, I don't wanna give the impression that everything I do is go in and just terrorize.

You have to have a full toolkit in this business.

They're extreme examples.
