Public Defender Shahan steps into trial and drops a tactical motion in limine so good that the witness couldn't handle it — and neither could the prosecutor. What followed? A mistrial.

But instead of justice, the state's blunders turned the courtroom into a circus act, with Shahan running circles around the opposition. It's a wild ride where skill meets chaos, and the only thing more off-key than the charges was the prosecution's performance.

Because when Shahan hits play on trial tactics, the state just can't keep up with the beat.

Straight out of Ohio, Public Defender Kevin steps into trial with his client staring down serious drug trafficking charges. The prosecution thought their star witness would seal the deal — but instead, Kevin turned that testimony into confetti.

Piece by piece, he cast doubt, shredded credibility, and showed the jury that the only thing really in the box was reasonable doubt.

Because when the state's case hinges on one witness, sometimes all it takes is one badass cross to close the lid for good.

Public Defender Christine steps in to defend her elderly blind client, who the state claimed somehow assaulted both a firefighter and a police officer. That's right — the prosecution wanted the jury to believe a blind senior citizen was a one-man wrecking crew.

As if that wasn't absurd enough, an officer nearly killed the man while he was in the hospital. But instead of justice, the state doubled down and stacked up seven felony charges.

Christine wasn't having it. She flipped the script, exposed the nonsense, and walked her client out with a full acquittal. Because when the system can't see straight, you need a defender with perfect vision.

The state accused an uncle of the most serious crimes imaginable — abuse of his own nieces. But in trial, the defense showed the jury that the real abuse was happening at the hands of their father.

With sharp advocacy and fearless cross-examination, the defense exposed the truth and revealed how easily an innocent man can be turned into a villain when the wrong story is told. It's a reminder that justice isn't always about what's alleged — it's about what can actually be proven.

What happens when prosecutors put someone's identity on trial instead of their actions? This case shows just how far bias can twist the justice system.

In this episode, the state tried to stack charges while leaning on stereotypes, hoping prejudice would do the heavy lifting. Instead, the defense peeled back the layers of nonsense, showing the jury how dangerous it is when accusations are fueled by who a person is rather than what they've done.

Because in court, you should be judged by evidence — not identity.

What started as a simple stop quickly spiraled into a full-blown circus act: accusations flying, cuffs snapping, and the prosecution swearing they had a "slam dunk."

But trials aren't talent shows, and the defense wasn't about to let the state juggle bad evidence, shaky witnesses, and police overreach into a conviction. This episode takes you behind the scenes of a case where the only thing dirtier than the accusation was the state's playbook.

Because if you're ridin' dirty, you better hope the cops are cleaner than this.

The hilarious jury trial portion where the ridiculous "victim" embarrasses himself in front of the jury as the Mooch skillfully makes a fool of the "victim" and the prosecution.

The prosecution thought they had zipped up the case tight. No gaps, no questions, no chance for escape. But the truth has a way of slipping through, especially when a fearless public defender takes the stand.

In this combined episode — Parts 1 and 2 brought together — we follow [Attorney name not found] as they dismantle the state's so-called "airtight" story. Every witness who thought they were backing up the prosecution's narrative stumbled under sharp cross-examination. Every detail the state insisted was proof of guilt came undone, exposed as sloppy, incomplete, or outright misleading.

What the state tried to package as justice turned out to be nothing but a messy zipper snag — and the defender was ready with the scissors. The comedy comes in watching the state scramble to explain their unraveling theory, while the tragedy lies in how close the system came to convicting someone on patchwork evidence.

By combining the two parts into one episode, the full scope of the defender's strategy shines: from the first objection to the last word before the jury, it's a master class in fearless advocacy. And when the verdict came, it wasn't guilt — it was vindication. Another powerful reminder that even when the system tries to stitch up the innocent, a relentless public defender can tear through the seams.
