The Anonymous Widower

The Art of Brevity

It’s a week late, but I’ve just watched the last episode of Garrow’s Law on my Sky Box.

What fascinated me wasn’t the case, which was about the treason of Joseph Hamer, but Garrow’s method.  At the start of the case the prosecution opened with a three hour speech to the jury, but Garrow just made a brief statement and sat down.

My late wife always felt that brevity was a weapon that was rarely used.  But used well it could be the most powerful of weapons.
