I've never served on jury duty, but it must be very difficult to "disregard" something someone has said. How do you just forget what they said?

On the cupcakes: I know this is just a TV show, but suicide is an INTENSELY complicated issue. Of people who have survived suicide attempts, a huge proportion say they regretted the attempt almost immediately. It is absolutely not uncommon for people to have exhibited signs of cheer and well-being in the hours before taking their own life.

I’ll bet the Scientologists loved this episode

[RLucas]

Does anyone find it odd that the judge completely threw out that testimony. Him bringing up the jury unless he had proof was too far, but the fact that they assembled folders on the police investigating the murder that the trial was about seems very relevant to me.

[travgames]

This has scientology written all over it.

Not sure about the legality of what the DA did. Pretending to be a member of a cult in order to get the suspect to agree to a plea deal? Isn't that somehow abuse of power? He did obtain the confession under false pretense, didn't he?
I'm new to this stuff 😂😂

[Zoras]

they should've taken down that cult

Anyone else creeped out by that guy? It's like an instinctual reaction.

[Animedingo]

I dont love how cutter uses peoples delusions to break them

He does this in many episodes

[deepspacetrash]

Really not a fan of the ADA taking advantage of the defense's mental issues in order to get a plea deal. Definitely grounds for disbarment, plus a lawsuit, and overall just sickening behavior

[ThePokemonSoldier]

Pretty sure what the ADA did in the end is illegal given he forced a deal under duress.

[thestanleys]

This episode is a gut punch. Especially when he finds Jacobs body. The actress who played Marilyn Nesbitt was fantastic.

[somethingrandom]

Your honor I move to delay the plea deal as my client has shown signs of paranoia and insanity... or something along these lines

[Freddie-xs]

He admitted to the crime under duress and that wouldn't stand up in any court

[marianaguardiaa.k.amariana]

This case was very wierd in all facts, starting for the paranoic behaivor

[youteo]

"leave the gun, take the cupcakes"...

[tehpw]

*grins* Linus Roache brings that boggyman gig... him being a former Furian on Riddick is WHY he's so good on L&O...

[abbeymclane]

Before Arnold Rothstein was the crime boss, he was a defense attorney

[richardsavings]

Me: *Sees the title* "Can't it be both?"

[jennifer_mertens]

Cutter can get away with it because technically, everything he said was true. It was his tone of voice that made the Defendant take his words the way he did. Plus, it is a TV drama that takes liberties with legalities. It's funny how so many people are reacting like the guy really went to jail and was duped by a "real" Prosecuter😂.
