A complicated set of events. First of all, Ellenor is determined to get the politician's wife convicted of the murder. But the guy isn't budging. Elllenor is like a bulldog. Rebecca volunteers to assist a lawyer who has a track record of getting some of his clients off death row. But she notices something in his tactics that are not to the benefit of his clients. Eugene sits in on a parole hearing for a good friend who was convicted of murder but insists he never did it. This was a well constructed part of the episode. Two very good actors at work..

Charles S. Dutton gave a powerful performance.

Warning: Spoilers
This episode has a fresh story of an innocent man caught in a dilemma of either having to lie or being rejected parole and continuing his sentence. The dramatic pull is to see how a man of integrity stands tall on his belief even when tested to the utmost.
Fresh story aside, Charles S. Dutton really gave a powerful performance and with less than one episode he made his one of the most memorable and honorable characters on the show.

Its ending wasn't nearly as clever as the writers thought it would be, and that woman explaining to the audience (and Eleanor, who just threatened her) what really happened at the very end was just too convenient. Not necessarily a bad episode but, do they think we are idiots?
