A Problem in Privilege

Line: 87 to 87
 If you don't find an obvious procedural problem, you might have to create one. Find the power in the DA's office and see what he/she needs kept quiet or what kinds of favors he.she might need. Maybe this person has political aspirations that you could help them out with somehow or maybe this individual doesn't want people finding out about the high priced escort he/she likes to frequent. This may be a bit distasteful, but it could help solve your legal problem. Plus, I think it's pretty obvious by this point that criminal defense can be a little vulgar at times anyway.

It would have to be more than a procedural problem, since those occur in practically every case. It would require a prejudicial one. I think you are right that such a find would be gold, but I think you are overestimating its likelihood. It seems this guy was sent to jail, not for a procedural problem, but because three eye-witnesses were mistaken/lied and the jury did not credit the man's family who provided the alibi.

I do agree that, given the information we have, something more akin to your second statement is in order. I fear, however, that now that we have been introduced to Robinson, this will appear to be the solution for everything!
