After ten weeks of testimony, the jury must have formed strong personal impressions of the defendants, even though Elgindy didn't testify directly. The expressions, reactions, body language, etc. all tell a story.

If you, as a juror, believed these two guys were cocky liars who were certainly up to SOMETHING bad - i.e. that was your gut impression - it wasn't hard to connect the dots just like the prosecutor did and assume it was all done for nefarious purposes.

When the prosecutor used the Batman analogy in his closing, I figured Elgindy's goose was cooked. Only kids believe in superheroes; the grownups on the jury know it's a story concocted to amaze and entertain the gullible, nothing more.

JMHO.
