Complete story — includes the ending
Despite her prior outrage over Richard coercing testimony from Kyle Barrett in the original Scott Wallace case, Helen uses trickery---including falsely hinting Massachusetts' pending passage of the death penalty and the state's governor being outside the interrogation room---to coerce a confession from an alleged carjacker represented by Jimmy. While Helen feels that her means were legal and necessary to get a dangerous man off the streets, Jimmy and Eugene disagree. The carjacker is freed in court only to be arrested by the FBI. Jimmy and Eugene ask a federal judge to rule the confession inadmissible, a decision that would set the carjacker free again.
