You see? The background
has a down spout in it.

There's no down spout here.

But I'm thinking
there must be one

over there.

This--This is where
the shoe actually was found.

The detective lied.

Under oath.

Great catch.

So what--
what happens next?

Right. Yes. Next.

Next we take pictures.

My ex-boyfriend
lives on that street.

I was going to his house
when it happened.

Okay, Daphne.

And then what happened?

Then I heard the yelling
coming from the house.

And I was, like,
I turned around,

and I saw
this yelling woman

come running out,
and she had a gun.

So what did you do next?

I ran.
Why?

Well, you see a gun,
you run.

And where did you run?

To the street there.

Daphne, the detective said
you ran between the houses

here and she found
your shoe here.

I didn't.

I mean, I was never there

I ran the other way.

So your shoe walked there
all by itself?

- Berger: Objection.
- Sustained.

Your Honor, I would like
to submit into evidence

some digital photographs

that will not only support
my client's version of events

but also indicate
that Detective Leyland's

testimony and evidence
have been intentionally--

- Objection.
- Sustained.

In my chambers now, please.

Photos on a defense attorney's
personal tablet

can hardly be called
credible evidence.

I like a good
personal tablet.

I mean,
it's no pad and paper,

but it's light and sleek.

Bet you can play games
on it like hangman,

and these pictures look
pretty credible to me.

Your Honor,
it makes no sense.

Why would a high-ranking
detective

risk doing something like this
on such a trivial case?

Good question. Ms. Lopez?

Detective Leyland
made a mistake

in her identification
of a suspect,

and she doesn't want
to admit it.

With DNA.Not from inside the house.

Hey! Inside voices.

Detective Leyland did not
see Daphne in there

committing that crime.

Your Honor, Jackie Leyland is
an outstanding police officer

with an impeccable
reputation.

Which no one would have
ever questioned

if a young woman went
to jail for two years

like she was supposed to.

Ms. Lopez, those pictures
are inadmissible.

Thank you.

Both of you arrange

to have the scene
photographed

by your investigators.

We'll use those pictures
to determine

the veracity
of the detective's testimony.

Until then,
we're at recess.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Judge Benner,
you wanted to see me?

Judge Carmichael, yes.
Please come in.

I got a surprise visit--

someone who wanted
to be introduced

to L.A.'s newest
Superior Court judge.

Los Angeles Assistant
Police Chief Jack Healy,

Lola Carmichael.

Good to meet you,
Judge.

Chief.

My detectives speak
very highly

of the cases you handled
when you were a prosecutor.

Yes, well, team effort.

I'm sure Judge Carmichael has
a full day ahead of her,

so...
Of course.

Judge, if you ever
have an issue

about any of my people,

please call me directly.

Judge Brenner,
as always.

Jack.

[ door opens, closes ]

What the hell was that?

The law of unintended
consequences.

That man was leaning on me.

Hard to say. Ahem. Maybe.

Or maybe just a message.

Which is?

Jackie Leyland is one

of L.A.'s most high profiled
detectives.

If you allow a PD
to accuse her

of manipulating evidence
and perjury,

if you do that,
this little trial

will throw every case
she's ever worked on

into doubt.

That's the sort of thing

that can destroy
more than one career.

Ahem.
Maybe that's the message.

I'm just guessing.

Mark: Your Honor.

Your Honor?

Lola,
I know you're up here.

Why does it always

Because I don't want

I can't talk about my case.

It's okay.
Lots of other people are.

Thanks a lot.Just saying.

The Sphinx has survived

She wasn't dealing with LAPD.

and never lost them.

Merci, mon frère.

They were charmed,

I didn't even write
a closing. No point.

I blew it, and you were
almost flawless.

Almost?

What?

Yeah.

Well, I mean,
there's the one thing

the jury might seize on,

but other than that,
you're good.

Sorry. You know, I've been
a lawyer for 10 years,

and not one attorney
has been smart enough

to bring up my dad
in the courtroom.

Well, you've perked
my interest, counselor,

uh, about the one thing.

It's the worst part
of the job--

that one juror who seizes
on the one mistake you made

and suddenly it's all
they can talk about

in deliberation.

Next thing you know,

your guy's getting
carted off to prison.

I mean, if you catch
your mistake soon enough,

you can fix it in closing,
but I think you're fine.

Ahem.

I'd be grateful, sir,

if you could share
your wisdomly insight, though.

My mistake?

Oh, I thought you knew.

It's the beard.
It makes you look guilty.

It's like an innocent man

who refuses to come
out of the house

when the police
have him surrounded.

You know, the longer
he stays in there,

the more people
start to imagine

a serial killer covered
in blood and guts.

That he's hiding something.
Juries hate that.

They think,
If he's so innocent,

why doesn't he
show his face?

Other than that,
you threw a perfect game.

You could shave for closing,
but I think...

I think
you're gonna be fine.

Under those circumstances,

who is found not guilty

shows so little emotion?

If that were the oddest
thing about this case,

I'd be thrilled.

She wasn't acting

And you manipulated evidence
