allow me to talk about how much rafael barba loves his job and how much i love him for it.
first off, what a nice smirk after the jury finds the defendant guilty.
i also love how much he enjoys it when things become hectic around the courtroom. when the defendants are squirming and when they’re under extra pressure from a ‘media circus’. he looks more than pleased at the idea.
and look at that tiny smile and obvious excitement when the judge has to get the officers to quiet the courtroom before an arraignment.
also, remember that time when a hatefully ignorant and incompetent man that ended up in a powerful position was his witness to cross examine? remember how eager he was to make a complete asshole out of him?
‘hello, detectives, you know that girl who’s been abused her whole life? i just found a way to get her her 4 million bucks'
even his shamelessness i see as the result of his willingness to place his job and the law above himself.
he’s ready to argue that raping boys was acceptable back in the day if it helps his case.
or argue that a gay man committed hate crimes against gays. even though it’s not gonna be easy to sell and by overreaching he does end up getting a lecture from the judge. he goes for it anyway.
he doesn’t care how these are gonna make him look, if the law allows him to do it and if it can help put criminals behind bars, he’ll go for it.
also, look at him using courtroom jargon in regular conversations
what a dork

“The first I met you, you were three months old. And you wouldn’t smile for me, no matter what I did. You just stared at me, you were very serious. But you were so cute that I started smiling. And then all of a sudden, like somebody flipped a light switch, your face lit up, And you smiled at me. That was all you needed, you just wanted me to be happy. “
