"On behalf of the
entire criminal justice system, I apologize." - Benjamin Colón
Se
eu for parar para pensar, essa temporada teve mais episódios que não gostei
tanto do que temporadas passadas. Claro que alguns tem uma coisinha que chama
mais a atenção que outros e isso é normal. Mas Bull parece que perdeu a
essência, o rumo.
Vou
reformular: durante a terceira temporada, parece que algumas coisas foram
esquecidas. Personagens aparecem bem menos (Oi, Taylor). O próprio quesito
trial science foi meio deixado de lado. Porém nesse episódio ele foi
relembrado. Brevemente. Eu gosto bastante do voir dire, porque as perguntas são
muito sem noção. E gosto de quando eles analisam os jurados.
Mas,
principalmente, gosto quando Benny toma a frente em determinados momentos. JB
pode até ser um neném, mas Benny é mais. Ele pegando o caso porque a menina
pediu foi lindo. E aí Jason vem e estraga tudo. Claro, é complicado você deixar
a pessoa ser representada por quem mandou ela falar que era culpada, mas não
avisar e simplesmente jogar isso na cara dela na corte. Foi bem ridículo.
No
mais o caso foi... decepcionante. Estava bem claro que o ADA estava fazendo
aquilo por outro motivo que não fosse buscar justiça, assim como todo mundo
sabia desde o começo que o homem era inocente. Podiam ter trabalhado um pouco
melhor a situação? Definitivamente. Vou simplesmente colocar o episódio na
categoria dos fillers, porque não adicionou muito na história. A não ser no
campo de Danny.
Eu
jamais imaginava que Gabriel estava pagando tudo com dinheiro por medo de ser
rastreado. Achei até interessante trazerem uma história sobre refugiados e com
toda certeza imagino que isso vai acabar se transformando em um caso futuro
para a TAC, mas eu espero que os roteiristas tratem dessa história de forma
decente. Não simplesmente jogando uma dessas e deixando para lá.
Pode
ser que com isso a atitude da Danny mude um pouco. Querendo ou não, ela sempre
trata JB como se ele fosse a pior pessoa do universo, tomando péssimas decisões
à torto e à direita. Com coisa que ela é a pessoa mais certa daquela série,
tomadora das melhores decisões. Nem a Rainha Marissa é assim.
P.S.:
Chunk merece muito mais do que a série está dando para ele.
"Y'all have been
sitting here for almost a week now, and here's what we know: The only piece of
evidence they have against my client is his guilty plea. So what informed that
guilty plea? Was it a thorough investigation of the facts? Was that plea
arrived at after hours of thought and deliberation? Was my client even allowed
to get a second opinion? None of the above, ladies and gentlemen. That is because
this plea is not about justice. It's not about the truth. It's about allowing
everybody to go home the day after Thanksgiving, so that they could enjoy what
little they had left of what should've been a four-day weekend. That's it. So
my client did what he was told because he wanted to get out of there, too. But
keep in mind, my client didn't actually do anything wrong. He defended himself.
He defended his wife, and that's not against the law. He pushed a man that was
coming at him. A man that had already punched him in the head. A man that was
bigger than him. A man that was clearly under the influence of alcohol. I'm
sorry. I was just listening for a second. I wanted to see if I could hear it. The
thing that my client did that was against the law. Nope. Not yet. But wait,
wait, wait. A week later, the man that my client was defending himself against
died. And now, suddenly, I guess because they had his guilty plea, the
prosecutor decides, let's call it manslaughter and let's charge Chris Coleman
with it. Are they saying that the victim was shoved to death? No. He died of a
brain injury. What do they know? Are they certain that the brain injury was a
result of the fall he took that night? I haven't seen any evidence of that, but
let's give them the benefit of a doubt. My client didn't trip him. My client
didn't push him to the ground. So why did he fall? Was it perhaps because he
drank too much? Was it perhaps because the sidewalk was uneven? Did he have a
trick ankle? Of course, none of these things have anything to do with my
client. So why is my client here? Well, because he decided to plead guilty to
make it easy for everyone, including himself, to get home? Because an ambitious
prosecutor thinks that convicting somebody, anybody, will be good for his
career? Because the world needs to be saved from dads trying to find good deals
on Christmas gifts for their kids? Well, the point is, any one of us could've
been standing in that line that night. Any one of us here. Now staring at 20
years in prison. Still nothing. I don't hear a thing. I guess it's because I
have no idea what this man is actually guilty of. Thank you." - Benjamin
