This episode features two outstanding public defenders who team up for a case straight out of a law school exam and a wrestling mat. Their client — a former state wrestling champ — was accused of assault after putting his lover in a half nelson. But here's the twist: he did it to stop her from harming herself.

The prosecution tried to turn a life-saving move into a criminal act, but the defense wasn't having it. With skill, teamwork, and some mat-side strategy, they showed the jury what really happened. The result? Not guilty.

Because sometimes a wrestling hold is just that — a hold — and not every half nelson belongs in a courtroom.
