  • Jerry and Michelle square off in a murder trial.

    8.8
    "Great"
    By earthpeople, Sep 10, 2008
    The relationships of the main characters here are more on the soap opera side, and some of the attempts at comedy fall flat. (Consider the scene where an overweight prosecutor drops dead in court.) But that isn't why I watch. What I like about the series so far is the depiction of our justice system at work. The cases turn, not so much on justice and fairness, but on the whims of lawyers and judges who use the system to settle personal scores and advance their careers. Here, Michelle is prosecuting a client of Jerry's who is accused of murder. She knows that Jerry has a Guatemalan witness who can prove that the client acted only to defend himself. Justice requires that the witness be heard, but Michelle is trying to make a name for herself, and she arranges for the witness to be deported before he can testify. And the judge continues her vendetta against Jerry by refusing to allow him time to get the witness back into the country. This aspect of the episode kept me involved.moreless

    • Michelle: Man 1, Five flat. Jerry: I'm sorry, what? Michelle: That's my offer. Jerry: Amend it. Pedro just hit a grand slam. Michelle: (rolls her eyes) I have a grieving family out there, Jerry. Jerry: You have a bad case you tried to make good. We'll take Man 2 and a year. Michelle: Okay, give me ten minutes. Jerry: The jury could come back in five with an acquittal. Michelle: Man 2, two to six. Jerry: No. He gets paroled today, time served. You crossed the line, Michelle.

    • Michelle: So do I get it? Nick: Yeah. (as Michelle walks away) Don't let your nuts get too big for your skirt. Michelle: That's disgusting. Nick: I'm serious. Thank you.

    • Nick: Do you know what the problem is with women lawyers? Michelle: No. Nick: Problem is they are women.

    • Michelle: I want this case, Nick. Nick: You couldn't even wait until the wake!

    • Jerry: The only reason Pedro isn't here is because of the prosecution's questionable ethics. They've gone out of their way to make it impossible for the case's only eye witness to testify. Fifteen years ago the guy was stopped for three joints and a roach clip. Judge Kessler: A fact that Miss Ernhardt found before you did. Don't dump your problems in my lap!
