1:52Now PlayingDavid Baldacci: "I think that lawyers can be really great fiction writers because we write fiction all the time. We're practicing law...In any trial, I had the exact same set of facts as the other side, and they were telling a diametrically different argument that I was from those same, very same words. And the way you do that is you tell a story based on those facts, but you tell them in a way that's supportive of what you want to argue."
