Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jesse’s defense team hires Ella as a consultant so that anything Jesse tells her from this point forward will be protected by the attorney-client privilege. Ella gives Jesse’s cell phone to the team and tells them that Jesse lied to the police about her reason for being at the ice cream shop.
Chris and Julie question whether they have a legal obligation to share Jesse’s cell phone with the prosecution. Chris’s girlfriend, Clare, tells him that it is a conflict of interest for him to work on this case, given the possibility that Vince could be implicated. She tells him that she must report it to the court as an ethics violation. Chris reflects on the day he graduated law school. On that day, he finally gave up hope of reuniting with his mother, who abandoned him and Vince when she left Rusty.
Keller and Atticus help with the raid on Rusty’s storage facility. In a Trojan horse operation, they stop the delivery trucks before they arrive, then offer leniency if the drivers allow them to hide inside the trucks as they enter the storage facility.
