Previously on All Rise...

I am going into holistic law.

Ooh! I am late for
my first day in the DA's office.

- Or you could just come back?
- I miss you, too.

Maybe I should sue
you for our wedding date.

Can we just get
the firm back on its feet?

There's election
exposure vulnerabilities

I look forward to eliminating.

- Ms. Carmichael.
- Judge Carmichael!

♪ My mommy like to sing along

♪ With me,
but she won't sing this song ♪

♪ If she reads all the lyrics

I know this is upsetting.

You know what, maybe we
should find another entryway?

No, it's okay. Hi, my lovelies.

Do you see all
those little motherpuckers

in Tyler Pierce's fan club?

Well, they're hating on me
because I like my kink,

and my sex rough.
But hey, to tell the truth...

Your past's going to
come back to bite you.

No, that psycho went too far.
He put me in the hospital,

All right? And I'm going
to sit in that courtroom

every day until the world
knows I'll have the last laugh.

Okay, you are a witness,

so you're only allowed in
the courtroom when you testify.

My client looks forward

to refuting
Ms. Raymond's outrageous claims,

which are
a desperate grab for publicity.

Or social media followers her business,

and financial gain.

Hey, hey. Bring your crew over here.

You want the truth?

I'll give you the truth.
He's a lying sack of sh...

Gigi! This way.

Get away from me! Leave me alone!

♪ I'm a bad guy

♪ I'm a bad guy

♪ I'm a bad guy

You look suspiciously well-rested.

With a tinge of melancholy.

What am I, a bottle
of wine? How do you do that?

You told me Robin was taking Bailey

to visit his parents in Detroit.

It's our first time apart.

When I was two, my mother
went to an ashram in India

for six weeks, and I have no hang ups.

Hmm. Not a one.

Ooh, I have something to cheer you up.

We have a new, outrageously
qualified stenographer.

Who can't hum a tune, I checked.

These came to my chambers. No card,

but I figured more election
victory flowers for Lola.

They do keep coming.

I'll start a thank you card.

There's a card right here.

They're for me.

I guess we can't always assume,
they're for her honor

Flip-flip.

Well, I'm off to another
smash and grab hearing.

So... give it up.

If you must know
I did some volunteer work

for a voter education group.

That is a lot
of posies for volunteer work.

I proved useful.

First up, we have
a trial readiness hearing

for a hockey player.

Tyler Pierce. Who could
forget? I hate celebrity cases.

You're either accused of favoritism

or of punishing them
for their fame. You can't win.

I got an almond milk, half
caf macchiato for Kiki Rice?

Hardly. Look alive!

Ho! You got skills for
somebody who just started.

- I'm trying.
- You want some pointers?

I would love some.
LeBron makes it look so easy.

That's true.

So what'd you want to talk to me about?

Well, I'm representing this, uh,

hairdresser who's got this thing...

Okay, you are so not here

to talk about some hairdresser case.

You know you want to talk about you

leaving the other night
with the bailiff. Delilah.

Delia, wait. Wait are you jealous?

Delia. Come on.

I think you might be a little jealous.

No, I'm not. Whatever you got
going on with the hot bailiff,

that's none of my business.

Well, I'm worried that it bothered you.

Seriously, we're just friends.

Start your free throw.

Actually, just with
us two for now just...

Just friends, okay?

'Cause...

Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay, baller.

So how's it going with
the holistic Lollapalooza, huh?

I scored a meeting
today with the Edith Basquez

who put holistic law on the map

and I'm going to ask her
how to start my own practice.

Up top!

Hey, listen, if there's
anyone who can get clients

through the system in
one piece, it is Emily Lopez.

Oh.

Hey, I should, uh,
I should go. I'm gonna be late.

Okay. Thanks for the macchiato.

Mm.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Yo, Callan. It is a zoo out there.

And you are looking at the zoo keeper.

You're handling the Tyler Pierce case?

This one hurts, man.

I mean, Amy may be
my fiancée, but hockey...

- Hockey is...
- Is your first love.

Since I was 10-years-old.
Now, look at me.

Going after the guy who single-handedly

put the Blades in the playoffs.

On top of that, Amy,
she's so wrapped up in the case,

she literally falls
asleep cuddling the legal file.

Man, Tyler Pierce, of all people.

It's too bad
I'm not with the DA anymore,

we'd make a killer team.

- You pick a new head deputy yet?
- It's not that easy, man.

And on top of all that,
Bravo's sending me some new guy

I'm supposed to break in.

Must be the new guy.

All right, we got to move.
Give you the rundown.

Defendant traded texts with the victim

prior to a one night
stand that turned violent.

Okay, I was just heading to...

Defendant has no criminal record

and no violent history,
aside from playing hockey.

Defense wants to plead this
down to a slap on the wrist.

- Misdemeanor trespass.
- Wait. Are we...

What I'm talking about
is that if I were in charge,

I'd go after felony domestic violence

with a great bodily injury enhancement.

Huh. Speak of the devil. Yep, Callan.

Are you sure you want
to do this? All right. Amy. Hi.

DA's willing to strike the GBI
and offer a plea to the felony.

Time served, plus three years probation.

Just tell me. Would I have
to sit out the season?

Tyler, wait for me
outside the courtroom, okay?

Misdemeanor, simple battery.

No. No! Felony.

Sir, there's no way
I can agree to that...

Yeah, well, looks like
you get yourself a deal.

Just go on without me.

I'll be right in, just
need to hammer out some details.

Mark, I'm not your second chair.

I've been trying to tell you.
I was just saying hi.

- Then whose Bravo's new guy?
- I am.

You an intern?

I get that all the time.
Don't worry. I'm up to speed.

I've been following right
behind you the whole time.

The young have excellent hearing.

Hey, Bravo. You messing with me?

Yeah, I just met Doogie Howser J.D.

Oh, he's a prodigy, huh?

I can't believe I'll
be working with Mark Callan!

I've followed your career,

convicted a deputy in
People v. Wayne McCarthy,

outfoxed the famous actors
into confessing to murder?

- Speaking of show biz...
- I wasn't.

I've got the only Indian parents

who wanted their kid to
do stand up. I chose the law.

My talent for getting an audience

in the palm of my hand would've
been wasted on a comedy...

You know, I forgot.

How much breaking in of this
kid do you want me to do?

We got a trial readiness
hearing that's about to start.

Oh, uh, right. I'll go
on into the courtroom now.

Go in. I need to
finish up with Bravo. Thanks.

Oh, one more thing.

He's, no, he's pulled
out a phone. I don't know...

Can you please explain
to me what is happening?

Is Mr. Callan stuck
in an elevator. Mr...

I don't know your...

Uh, Deputy District
Attorney Tajdar Biswas,

though I go by Teddy
at Starbucks, Your Honor.

Okay, then, Mr. Biswas, Ms. Quinn,

while we wait for Mr. Callan
to grace us with his presence...

Excuse me. Is Biswas
spelled the French way, O-I-S?

Or with a W, as in "world."

It's B-I-S-W-A-S.

That is quite the delivery.

What delivery?

Hmm. Where were we?
Are both sides ready for trial?

Actually, Your Honor,

both parties have agreed to a plea

of misdemeanor simple battery.

From the preliminary hearing transcript,

the charge sounds quite low.

What's the people's reasoning?

Um, I think... I think we should wait

for Mr. Callan to clarify.

I really hope the lenience of the offer

is not the result of special treatment.

Everyone in my courtroom
is treated the same.

Rich, poor or otherwise.

I... I mean, Mr. Callan
will enumerate the reasons

for reducing the charge,

but from what I can tell,

the people would have no
problem securing a conviction.

- What?
- No. Uh, Mr. Callan, I...

Are there any problems with proof?

Uh, not that I can see.

I mean, the victim is cooperative

and the hospital photos speak
for themselves, Your Honor.

As Mr. Biswas pointed out,

these injuries do
appear quite traumatic.

And if there's a crime here,

it's much more serious than the offer.

I'm not inclined to accept
the plea. We're going to trial.

But I didn't do anything wrong.

Wait no, the people and I made a deal.

And then that little...
Then Mr. Biswas moved it up.

Student driver took
a U-turn, we're going to trial,

- not that I'm complaining.
- But I'm complaining.

In my chambers, now.

Someone's going to lose a tooth.

Gigi Raymond is a self-serving scammer

who engaged in consensual sex play.

A felony charge is outrageous.

The defendant is using a few dirty texts

as a cover for strangling
a woman to unconsciousness.

And a domestic abuse charge requires

some semblance of a relationship.

The texts span several days, Your Honor.

Oh, if that's a relationship,

then stop griping I'm uncommunicative.

You've been stonewalling me for weeks

about the wedding date, Amy.

Council, we are not
in your romantic comedy.

If I may,
it's routine for my generation,

and that of the parties involved,

to engage in relationships

that can last
several years entirely online.

- In fact, it can...
- Okay, Your Honor. Must we?

Young Mr. Biswas has a point. Ms. Quinn,

Mr. Callan,
is your co-counsel's assessment

of the evidence accurate or not?

It is, Your Honor. And if
the court is ready to move

the case to trial, the people are ready.

Good. Now, to avoid any
appearance of impropriety,

the court recommends
that you separate residences

and cease communication
for the duration of the trial.

Not a problem. I get the house.

Are you serious right now?

Well, then, at least Your Honor could do

is let the people
stay in her guest house.

Sorry, that's
another conflict of interest.

Just find a nice hotel.
I'll see you both in court.

Wait, you all hang out together?

Uh, Ms. Quinn. Hi.

I mean, I hope there's
not any hard feelings about,

in there, because in
moot court, in law school,

people got really, really mad at me.

Your fly is open.

Touché.

That was a cheap trick, Quinn.

It always works on you.

- What happened?
- Bad case of acne.

Never mind. We've got
to get ready for trial.

You'll clerk for me

and the minute you pass
the bar, you're second chair.

Well, I get the test
results back in a few days.

Warm up my seat.

So, um, Joaquin told me

that you basically started
the holistic law movement back

in Brooklyn, and that is amazing.

Well, the goal was to place clients in

alternative-to-prison
facilities like this one,

so they get actual rehabilitation.

I come out here to check
on my clients as much as I can.

I never had that kind
of time when I was a PD.

So let me guess,
now you're ready to do more.

Defendants deserve more.

Well, holistic law is not
just about defending clients.

You represent them in
landlord-tenant disputes,

immigration proceedings,

child custody battles, divorce matters.

Heck, I even make sure
they put food on the table.

Yeah.

That's my client Carla.

She wants to work in a garden
center when she gets out.

Carla, this is Emily.

She's interested in how I represent you.

Wow.

Bud lettuce?

- Oh, no thanks.
- Try it.

But it's got, um...

Yeah.

That's actually nice. A little dirty.

But, you know. Not bad.

Gigi, the jurors need
to see you as the victim.

Weak and vulnerable at
the hands of a 200-pound,

six-foot-one trained athlete.

Okay, so you want me to
be this delicate little flower?

Yeah? That's the only way that
those 12 idiots will believe me?

Like it or not,
those idiots are the only people

who can put Pierce behind bars.

I am not going to change
who I am. Screw all of you.

I need a smoke break.

Move.

She's going to be a disastrous witness.

The jurors need to empathize with her,

not want to strangle her themselves.

Meanwhile, Tyler Pierce
is Mr. Goddamn Congeniality.

I think the facts
should stand on their own.

Teddy, in he said, she said cases,

who's more likable matters.

Gigi Raymond has
1.2 million Insta followers.

Someone likes her.

Let me have some
time with her. Alone. Go.

Is that a lot of followers?

Gigi, you are very
brave to be testifying

and you have every right to be angry.

Sexist lawyer Callan is
supposed to be on my side.

Look, Callan isn't
sexist. He's just... frustrated.

Gigi, this is your
chance to face your attacker.

Tell him what he did to
you, how this affected you.

Now you're my therapist, too?

Did you ever think
that some of your followers

might be victims of violence?

You can speak to them, help them

so that their lives aren't
destroyed or worse, ended!

Stop just thinking about yourself!

Okay, okay. I hear you.

Now leave me alone to
post a pic of my bichon frisé.

Question, how do I get funding to start

a holistic law practice?

You're going to need to find a powerful,

well-funded legal organization
and expand their practice.

How about Bar Panel?

They would take over my clients
when there was a conflict of interest.

Those private attorneys
are a bunch of stodgy, old men.

Yes. But the county funds them

so they have steady cash
flow and plenty of clients.

They're actually in
a unique position to do this.

- Hey.
- Hi.

So. Hey, Carla. How'd you,
um, how'd you end up here?

My Ruby was four months.

I was out of work
and boosted some formula,

shoved a security guard.

She was headed to prison for robbery.

Her daughter would
have gone to foster care.

But Edith cut a deal
for me to come here instead.

I got to keep my Ruby.

- Aw.
- Gave me a reason to go on.

Bitch!

- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God!

Get off. Get off her!

Get off! Stop! Hey! Security!

Get off of her. Stop! Come on!

- Get off!
- Security!

Oh, whoa, whoa. Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah. I can take a hit.

Hoo!

So I guess you've had enough.

What, why? That... I'm going
to start my own boxing gym.

I mean, no, I'm still
committed to... Thank you.

I'm still committed to holistic law.

Give Bar Panel a shot,
but don't hold your breath.

You know, old dogs, new tricks.

Oh, my God.

What happened, physically,

between you and Mr. Pierce that night?

I was working it like
a bad ass, in control of things.

So you and the defendant
were engaged in sexual activity?

Yeah, yeah. And some
spanking, some dirty talk.

I'm not vanilla. It was fun.

Was there a point at
which it stopped being fun?

Yeah. Isn't that why we're all here?

Out of nowhere, Tyler... Sorry, I mean,

the defendant, um,
grabbed me by the hair

and kept punching me
over and over and over again.

And his face, he was
like, he was biting his lip

like he wanted to get
the right reaction out of me.

But I wasn't scared shitless
the way he wanted, I guess.

So he grabbed me by the throat to, um,

to strangle me, or to snap my neck.

I thought he was going to kill me.

I'm sorry.

You should really go home.

I just read over today's transcript.

Our new stenographer is
flawless. If it weren't for...

Sounding like a movie preview.

Things can look really good on paper.

Speaking of which,

I saw Tyler Pierce on
the Drew Barrymore Show

making his mother's
mac and cheese recipe.

Before working here,
I thought sweet, funny guys

were sweet, funny guys.

It will come down to who
the jury believes he is. Oh!

I am walking out now with a W,

as in a world.

- Good night.
- Good night.

May I help you?

Sherri Kansky?

We're here regarding

an investigation
into alleged impropriety

in the election
of Judge Lola Carmichael.

There's gotta be some mistake.

Ugh!

The hell?

And I am still
processing how deputies from

the Public Integrity Unit
wound up peppering me

with questions in my living room.

Really don't think there's...

And election impropriety, seriously?

As if trying to hang on to
my seat wasn't difficult enough.

Your Honor,
I was as shocked as you were.

Oh, no. I think
I was a bit more shocked.

The first I heard about
Ms. Kansky's volunteer work

was this morning.

It wasn't an official campaign activity,

but I am sure it was aboveboard.

Those deputies were not having it.

That community center
was in the Krenshaw district,

which we both know
I won with record turnout.

I guess it looks so
bad someone reported it.

I did assure the deputies

it was purely
educational and nonpartisan.

So many people have doubts
around election integrity nowadays.

So, I wanted to teach
them how to fill out ballots,

explain how votes are counted. I never...

Never what? Come on, Sherri.

There must have been something.

No, no!

Some people were
complaining about politicians

and the bureaucracy
around COVID benefits.

So I told them I'd make a few calls,

help them collect what they're owed,

and help get them rental assistance.

Oh.

Oh?

Oh is right.

I was trying to be of service.

You were working for my campaign.

It looked like you
were trying to buy votes.

You should have known better.

How did they leave it with you?

Um, the Public Integrity Unit said

they would determine if
the investigation would proceed

- to a hearing.
- Insane.

I can not believe
that this could escalate.

The election could be nullified.

I could lose
my judgeship, all credibility.

I need some air.

Sherri.

Former governess Elsbeth DeMarco

of La Habra Heights
married her employer,

then dismembered
and cooked him for dinner, 1926.

They do not make
cases like they used to be.

What do you think of my new spot?

It's great! If you've
got a thing for mold.

Let's keep looking.

So you are never going to believe this.

- Last night, I'm at home and...
- Stop. I already heard.

Sherri and the election.

My buddy Jerome, he's the night guard.

He let the deputies up last night.

- Does everyone know?
- Relax. No. It's just me. Okay?

But I have a nagging suspicion

this can be traced
back to Corrine Cuthbert

and a serious case of sour grapes.

How would she even know?

I just don't understand how Sherri could

- make a mistake like this.
- Devil's advocate?

Sherri thought she could
give the voters a little push,

she'd do anything for you?

I know, but...

I trust Sherri.

Ms. Raymond, the stunts you post,

they have to keep
getting more outrageous

to keep the million
dollars a year flowing, right?

Yeah, I kick it up a notch,

and I call them media spectaculars.

I see. Was kidnaping
the dog of K-Pop star Goldie Ku

one of your media spectaculars?

- Objection, irrelevant.
- Sustained on 352 grounds.

I have an eight-page document titled

"Raymond Pierce Text Exchange,"

marked as Defense Exhibit E
for identification.

- May I approach the witness?
- You may.

Ms. Raymond, do you
recognize these text messages

you sent to
the defendant between July 17th

and July 22nd
of last year? Take your time.

Mhm, I mean, uh, yeah.

Could you please
read the highlighted texts?

- Out loud?
- Go ahead.

Um, okay.

"I'm your obedient little slut."

Oh, speak up so the jury can hear you.

"Rough me up until I'm black
and blue so I know I'm yours."

"I need to ache from being used by you."

"I want you to choke
me until I come for you."

So you asked the defendant

to rough you up, choke you, bruise you?

- I never asked him to...
- No, that's right.

- Sometimes you begged.
- Objection, argumentative.

Sustained.

Mr. Pierce simply followed
your instructions to the letter.

And yet, here we all are,

players in one of your
super duper spectacular...

- Objection! Your Honor. This...
- Sustained.

No, I just told that piece of shit

what he wanted to hear to keep
his interest. All right?

Everybody does that online,
you are just a frigid bitch!

Enough! Ms. Raymond. Let's just
bring the temperature down.

The court will be in recess.

Wow. You, uh, really dragged her.

Yes. When you pass the bar,

you'll have to give your
clients a rigorous defense.

Okay.

After all that prep,

Gigi sunk her case.

Uh, kind of busy here.
Also, it's not over.

You're right.
Our expert witness is up next.

It's her job to convince those jurors

that their assumptions
about Gigi are false.

She is the victim. Period.

Strong strategy.
According to our demographics,

jurors six, seven,
nine and 11 are under 35.

Statistically, they're woke,
so victim blaming is out.

Hey, I'm over 35, I'm... I'm woke.

Lunch? That's a nice surprise.

Oh, damn. I asked for roast beef.

Could anything go my way today?

I'm going to say this is
about more than roast beef?

Clear things up with Emily?

Okay, why would you think
that I'm talking about Emily?

The sandwich apocalypse?

Surprise lunch, you sure
you're not here to talk?

No, Emily and I are
just friends. Double confirmed.

Great. So you're open to other women.

Because, uh, it seems
like you're lady catnip.

Uh-uh. I'm still proving
myself at the PD's office.

No distractions.

Suit yourself.

If you don't want them,
I will take on the challenge.

Dr. Chang, you said you've
treated more than 200 victims

of domestic abuse over
the course of your career.

Would you say they always come across

the way we'd expect a victim would?

You mean the stereotype?

Frightened, weak and helpless? No.

But isn't that the typical
response to injury trauma?

Quite the contrary.

When women are battered,
they can have atypical behavior,

anger driven outbursts.

They're often embarrassed

and don't want
to admit they're vulnerable,

that they let this happen to them.

So it's possible for
someone to be battered

and still be brash,
abrasive, um, in-your-face?

Absolutely. A false
projection of strength

in the face of shame

is consistent with the PTSD reaction.

Is it also possible
for a domestic abuser

to come across as a nice guy,
even be a role model?

You'd be shocked who goes home

and beats up
the person they supposedly love.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, the nice
guys can be villains strategy

resonates these days.

I am a nice guy. This is ruining me.

Or what I do behind
closed doors shouldn't matter.

But it does. We have to show the jury

that at least you're
honest about what you want.

Unlike, what, half
the married guys on your team?

Any history with women's causes?

I think I signed a hockey stick

for some fundraiser for a breast thing.

Ness, find that charity.

Do you know how many Make-A-Wishes I do?

And what do I get?
People taking advantage of me.

Okay. Can I talk to
you for a second? Just...

If I bite my tongue any harder,

it is going to bleed.
Now he's the victim?

By the time we're
done with him, he will be.

Okay.

And as you can see, gentlemen,

recidivism in California is at 46%.

The Los Angeles County court system

is the largest in the country.

Defendants get utterly
buried in the bureaucracy.

Look, I'm not here
sprinkling fairy dust,

but I am offering holistic
law services to your clients

to help them solve their problems.

Mr. Lopez, I commend your enthusiasm,

but I'm afraid the only
way a holistic law could work

is by sprinkling fairy dust.

What you're suggesting is impractical.

- It's too far-reaching.
- And expensive.

L.A. County gives us
funding to defend clients

in criminal court. That's our priority.

You saw my analysis.

Putting one defendant's child
into the foster care system

costs the county far more
than offering these services.

Caring for
the whole person is the future

of criminal defense.

If you're interested in social work,

you might want to
consider a career change,

or go do pro-bono work.

Try free counsel initiative.

The lawyers there take
shifts cleaning the bathrooms.

Well, I should have gone there first.

Thank you, gentlemen.
Thank you for your time.

And I signed a hockey stick for
the Breast Cancer Foundation.

My aunt Norene is a survivor.

And you are a very generous man.

Do women ever take advantage of you?

You know, sometimes
all they want are vacations

and Cartier watches.

I try not to get jaded,
but it gets to you.

I'm a nice guy.

No further questions.

Mark, Mark, Mark.

- What?
- Let me do the cross.

Sit down. Be quiet.

Mark, I've got this.

This prodigy crap better be real.

Which way do I go?

Mr. Pierce. Excuse me.

I may not have much experience, if any,

in the boudoir, and...

Move along in your
questioning, Mr. Biswas.

Okay, um, orgasms.

Do women usually have
one of those during sex?

Mr. Dinsmore?

So sorry. First,
I have Mr. Biswas saying

"I might not have much experience,

"or any, in the boudoir."

Then he says "orgasms."
Does a woman always have...

Mr. Biswas, repeat your
questioning for Mr. Dinsmore,

but this time, speak
up so he doesn't have to...

Can you always tell
when a woman has had an orgasm?

With me, it's pretty obvious.

Did Miss Raymond have one with you?

Oh, yeah. I mean, they all do.

So Miss Raymond asked you to choke her

until she had an orgasm.

You said it was perfectly
clear that she'd had one.

Yeah, so I...

And yet you kept on choking her

after she had an orgasm
until she went unconscious.

Was that part of your game,

or do you get your kicks
sending women to the hospital?

- No, that's not how...
- Objection, argumentative!

- Sustained.
- No further questions.

You know, I'm going to kill you!

Mr. Pierce, sit down.

You know me. It was an accident.

Order.

Bailiff, clear the courtroom.
In my chambers now.

Chambers.

I will not have my courtroom
turned into a three ring circus.

Your Honor,
Mr. Biswas' gotcha grandstanding

about the timing of an orgasm

doesn't prove my client
intended to hurt Ms. Raymond.

It was a moment of passion
that went too far,

an accident. Period.

One bruise is an accident, Your Honor,

we have all seen the photos.

Okay, Your Honor,
let's cut to the chase.

The defense asked
the court to adjust the language

of the jury instructions.

The jurors must be told to consider

Ms. Raymond's obvious
consent to this S&M game.

People understand
that she agreed to a point,

but that only goes so far.

By Ms. Quinn's logic,
if someone asks you

to push them off a bridge and you do it,

you bear no responsibility.

The way the standard jury instructions

for a domestic violence
charge is written is flawed.

Right now, it doesn't mention consent

being a mitigating factor.

Other battery laws do.

Your Honor,
there are those who would say

adjusting jury instructions
is how activist judges

override laws to influence juries

towards a desired verdict.

It happens all the time. Look
at the Kyle Rittenhouse case!

- Oh, back off, Frodo.
- Enough.

Now I am not here to override laws.

I'm here to ensure Mr. Pierce
receives a fair trial.

That will be all.

Judge Carmichael,
as a sworn officer of the court,

it is my moral obligation
to express my belief

that Tyler Pierce will
do this kind of thing again

and again and again. And I know,

I was bullied by guys
like him my whole childhood.

I feel for you, Mr. Biswas,
and this is a serious matter.

Now, I will take the defense's request

to consider consent under advisement.

I will also mull over
the prosecution's position

that the injuries Mr. Pierce inflicted

on Miss Raymond be
the only factor they consider.

Now, good afternoon.

Jurors you are to consider
the following instructions

in your deliberation.

The defendant is charged in count one

with felony domestic violence.

You must determine whether Mr. Pierce:

one, willfully inflicted

physical injury upon Miss Raymond,

and two, whether that injury resulted

in a traumatic condition.

Have a chuckle bite. My go-to
during jury deliberations.

So I did not grant the defense's request

for a pinpoint jury instruction.

I hope I did the right thing.

I think you did. Once
you ask a jury to accept

that Miss Raymond said
yes to being choked and punched,

no 12 jurors will
agree if Pierce went too far.

But the defense makes a good point.

The jury instructions for

a felony domestic violence charge

as written is problematic.

Lola, don't second guess yourself.

Who needs that with
Judge Marshall watching over you

and the whole
election fiasco on the horizon.

My buddy Jerome told me.

Jerome!

The jury has a verdict.

That was fast.

Listen, maybe
nothing makes a difference.

That jury might see Pierce

as some larger than life superhero,

like a Tom Brady or a Michael Jordan.

And heroes can be above the law.

Thanks for the chat.

I know you're used to
hashing things out with Benner,

but I can be warm and friendly too, see?

And take the cookies with you.

Those girls get Gary every year.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

Foreperson, please hand
the verdict form to the bailiff.

Will the defendant please stand?

As to count one in
violation of Penal Code 273.5,

subdivision A, felony domestic violence,

we, the jury, find the defendant...

not guilty.

Congratulations.

Order. Order.

Does losing always suck this hard?

Even genius lawyers lose cases.

You put up a good fight, kid.

Tyler Pierce, what's next?

Well, my client has been exonerated

by a jury of his peers,

and now he can get back
to doing what he loves most.

Helping the Blades win a championship!

I just can't believe he got off.

I'm so sorry, Gigi.

Please just leave me alone!

Justice for Gigi! Justice for Gigi!

- Justice for Gigi.
- Oh, my God.

Justice for Gigi! Justice for Gigi!

They're here for me!

...fans as Tyler Pierce.

Gotta get out of here.

Tyler, Tyler! Not guilty.

But can you comment on the breaking news

that the L.A. Blades are
releasing you from the team

for violating the morals
clause in your contract?

Yeah, yeah. You rot motherpucker!

I'm going to sue your ass off in court.

Justice for Gigi! Justice for Gigi!

Justice for Gigi! Justice
for Gigi! Justice for Gigi!

This needs your signature.

It's verdicts like today's

that make abuse victims
hesitant to come forward.

Almost makes you lose
your faith in humanity.

- Sherri...
- Judge Carmichael...

Judge Carmichael. Not even Your Honor?

I know I might have made
a mistake during the election,

but you don't have
to make me feel so small.

I am sorry, Sherri.

But even you have to admit

that sometimes you
can go a little overboard.

This came for you.

Public Integrity Unit?

It looks like they are moving forward

and calling a hearing.

We will both have to
testify about your conduct

during the election.

Are you sure you can trust me?

I might go overboard.

Phew! The circus has left town.

Come on, let's go back to the office.

That was a three shower trial.

Yes. Whatever you're
feeling about the verdict,

it was our job to make the
prosecution prove their case.

They couldn't get there.

Yay. American justice.

With Rachel gone, I couldn't
have done this without you.

I'm just sorry you
couldn't have been second chair.

Oh, I'm okay with skipping this one.

By the way, any word on passing the bar?

- Any second now.
- Oh.

Come on. Let's go.
