Yeah I remember there being a bunch of episodes where the defendant “gets away with it.” I don’t remember if there was ever a case where the person is actually innocent, but that would be interesting…

10 bucks says Holmes’ “ripped from the headlines” character would get murdered by a cheated shareholder, though.

Yeah for sure. This reminds me of a bunch of plotlines on The Good Wife, which had some google/twitter tech bro type characters (and a wife-murdering super rich guy).

Every time I see that picture, I think “the human hypnotoad!”
Must not look into those eyes…

@beschizza We need one of those funky face graphics, but just make it all Elizabeth Holmes eyes, staring, blinking, weirding. Like an evil seraphim.

After listening to the podcast about her, I agree. She’s yet another grifter who thrives by convincing herself of things that aren’t true.
Nice of her to give them an excuse by not paying her bills, though. Dealing with a con artist has its small benefits, too.

If you read Bad Blood (great book), you learn that this person does NOT take feedback from others. She’s likely telling them how it is, rather than the other way around. She’s a genius and knows what’s best. She’s a classic narcissist with sociopathic tendencies.
Anytime I hear about lawyers quitting, that’s usually the case, rather than the money.
Balwani is also a nutjob, but I have a feeling he is a bit more practical than Liz.

Oh, there were several. My favorite was the episode based on Scalia’s Supreme Court opinion that actual innocence was not enough to justify a new trial.

The police part of old Law and Order shows was so good (LENNY BRISCOE FOREVER) and then they’d switch to the courtroom and it’d just be an actor lecturing to the camera in ways no attorney has ever talked ever in the history of time. So grating.
I made this, which you may not have seen, and may not wish to see.

Thanks for the video, as now I understand why it’s spelled H-O-L-M-E-S, but it’s pronounced SAURON.
