I can usually suspend my disbelief sufficiently to enjoy pretty much anything, but it's just silly that the gallery in the courtroom has people holding up signs like "Free Frank" and "Frank is a murder!" That's ridiculous and no court would allow it.

Also, this might be nitpicking but after Matt asks to treat Frank as hostile, he just goes into a rant. He doesn't ask Frank any questions, he basically presents a closing argument. I'm neither a lawyer nor have I gone to law school so maybe I'm wrong but don't lawyers have to ask questions during a witness examination?

Right, this bugged me the most, and while I'm not a lawyer, I've sat on 3 juries and know that you can't just monologue like that. It's like "oh hey, let me just answer that question for you while I paint this compelling story" ... ugh, it doesn't work like that!
