Featured review
Ben Song for the Defense
Ben leaps into the body of rushed off her feet public defender Elena Ramirez and has to turn into Perry Mason.
18 year old Camilo Diaz is on trial for the murder of a gang member that was trying to recruit his younger brother Leo. Camilo protests his innocence but was seen fleeing the crime scene. The evidence against him is strong.
In the original timeline of 1985, Elena entered a plea deal with ambitious ADA Bill Barnes. It ripped the Diaz family apart.
Now Ben decides to go to trial but he knows nothing about being a lawyer. Jenn helps out as she has a law degree and was on trial for hacking.
Only public defenders are overworked, underpaid and rely on plea bargaining.
With the help of Magic Williams and the team. They figure out that Barnes hid some evidence. It is costly for Elena. She was having an affair with another ADA.
It does take a leap that someone can suddenly become a trial lawyer. Also no one noticed especially Elena's girlfriend that suddenly she was a rubbish lawyer.
It does make barbed comments about the justice system. The public defence system is al; about making deals than actual justice.
