I think you've misidentified the accents. In the real video the lawyer (whose firm is from Kansas fwiw) definitely has a weaker accent than the expert (who works in Missouri apparently fwiw). In all likelihood they tried to cast people who spoke like the original people.

It's possible that I was mistaken on the accents. But to me, the lawyer's accent sounded like Texas/Oklahoma (I know his firm was in Kansas) and the expert's accent sounded more Kentucky/Missouri.

I actually thought the lawyer's accent was the stronger one - maybe because it's less like mine. I'm from upstate NY originally, living in Ohio for the last 20 years.

Anyway, my comment was pretty US-centric to begin with, probably not that useful to folks from other countries.

Cheers.
