The Flores Case
The court assigns Kathleen to defend Diego Flores, a serial rapist who boasts about getting away with his crimes. Since all of the evidence that would convict him was recovered without a proper search warrant, Kathleen will be compelled to make a motion to have the evidence suppressed and have him released from custody. Since she knows that he will rape again as soon as he gets out of jail, she succumbs to the intense pressure everyone is exerting upon her not to represent Flores by submitting a petition to withdraw from the case, which Judge Ripley denies. She then agrees to Dan's request that she ask for a continuance to give the police more time to gather new evidence. Judge Ripley refuses her request, forces her to proceed with the motion to suppress, and releases Flores on $1 bail. Two hours later, Flores is shot and killed after pulling a gun on a police officer who stopped him and asked to see his identification.
