S1 Ep11: Closing Arguments
Mr Cortez, a defense attorney arguing consent and reasonable conduct, and ADA Laherty, a prosecutor framing the case as intentional harm, present conflicting closing views. They debate intent, safety steps, timing of the 911 call, missing evidence like knot details, and jurors wrestle with emotional toll, unanimity and public scrutiny during deliberations.
