Brett details the rapid fire jury selection, the effort to cut through complex engineering evidence, and the moments when Tesla’s own decisions opened the door to testimony the jury never forgot.
Listeners will hear how “Elon’s Greatest Hits” became trial evidence, how discovery abuse entered the case because Tesla raised it, and how Brett crafted opening and closing arguments on a strict clock, including the request to dock Tesla one week of earnings.
The episode builds to the outcome: 243 million in compensatory damages presented, 129 million awarded for injury and death, and 200 million in punitive damages, for a total of 329 million. Brett ends with hard won lessons on narrative, proof, and why in the digital world nothing is ever truly lost.
