for the most part, their case looked pretty flimsy to me.

在我看来这案子基本上经不起推敲
Largely dependent on witness testimony

主要依靠证人的证词
that shouldn't be too hard to discredit at all.

而要证明这些证词不足采信并不难
And if the committal's any indicator,

如果说预审说明了什么问题
then J here's their star witness.

那就是乔是他们的重要证人
Without him, they'll need to strengthen their brief,

没有他作证他们的诉状就会缺乏证据支持
which they will do with something else.

就得找别的东西来加强
Personally, I'd rather tackle the evidence I saw at the committal

我个人认为推翻预审时那些证据更为可取
than any rejigged brief they come up with

如果乔突然离开他们就要重新做诉状
should J suddenly decide to leave.

还是对付前者更稳妥
You know what I mean?

明白我的意思吗
So I think we should just get into it.

我想我们应该马上着手做了
