Nails it again? Huh??? Gowdy is dead wrong about his insistence Waters made a mistake allowing AM to go on way, WAY too long" - on the stand. Nope, completely wrong! That strategy was actually KEY for the Jury to experience. Alex being allowed to talk way, WAY too, long...digging his own grave in the process. So, IMO, Gowdy was WAY off in his assessment of Waters strategy on the stand.

@Mary Coleman Well, I adamantly disagree with your disagreement.😅 Waters did say in a post-conviction after trial interview on CNN that letting AM go on&on for so long on the stand was bc he knew AM would expose his own lies. So he decided to let Alex talk himself right into a conviction. Some of us recognized this as a smart strategy on Water's part as it was happening, but many did not. Some began to recognize this as a clever strategy well before the guilty verdict. Some of those who initially saw it as a flawed cross, began to recognize it as being a clever strategy only AFTER the convinction, and some NEVER did. But it was exactly this strategy that won the day. You said so yourself, "thank god AM exposed his own lies." That would not have happened had Water's "controlled his witness."

I was a rough & ready 'tomboy' as a kid - always identified with boys and hung out with them as a kid. Girls seemed so superficial and frivolous to me, and I disliked all the pink, girly, frilly clothes and 'doll' playing crap. Then, I can still recall the day when I looked at boys in a very different way! They were no longer just pals to me! This was around the age of 13, and everything changed for me. My childhood was my 'boyhood', but once my hormones kicked in and my boy pals also began looking at me as more than just a 'pal' - my 'girlhood began - - in earnest - and I never looked back. So happy I lived in a time before this insane SM gender-questioning Era. Though, I was always happy with who I was even as tomboy - I still identified as female - never really wished to change into a male....that idea would have been so foreign to me. I just wished that (most) girls weren't so ridiculously, helpless, frilly, & doll loving - I would have felt alot more normal around them, lol.
