The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

Nobody ever really talks about the law school as the woke part of Columbia, but I came out of it's college a liberal and it's law school significantly to the left of that
