Returning to cop shows FBI and NCSI LA

every armchair police show watching guy knows about admissible evidence. You could be caught with a smoking gun in your hand but there are evidentiary procedures.  Not all evidence is admissible in court due to laws made by lawmakers, often arcane and over a hundred years old. The politicians elected to make laws often are not lawyers and need to be advised on various matters. Often lawyers, judges and police are unhappy with certain laws as they sit, on the books. Unscrupulous criminal defense lawyers can often get you off Scot free... especially if you're loaded.

that's why, if Benji were special guest directing FBI, this is what it would look like.... ceiling shot, looking down on a boardroom table... open Chinese food takeout boxes with chopsticks half eaten....

Cut to tracking over the shoulder shot circling table....

Discussion of Ramirez cartel trial ensues....

'The case we've spent months building, risking our lives...because of the lawyer the cartel has hired, is likely to be settled out of court... and the Ramirez brothers will most likely get keys to their minimum security country club.... for a few months. El Rancho even has a tennis court

Why?

Because they've engaged Earl Quigley the third.

Cut to over shoulders shot of same ppl looking at tv in the boardroom. .. Cut to tv image....

This is Quigley lecturing at Yale last year...

I only defend billionaires these days. I got tired of people worth less. Someone with a net value of two hundred million dollars is just unstable at the end of the day. Too much vanity and ego but like in a diet coke kind of way .

Do you ever work pro bono?.... a Yale student is heard asking off screen

If I found a cause I could sympathize with, I probably would


Cut to boardroom ....

That's what we're up against.  If we want to put the Ramirez brothers in a real jail we'll need to spend hours studying Quigley in court in past cases

This is what I call the Dora case, watch:

so your job is to target advertisers that want  to show their commercials during popular tv shows right?

That's correct sir

and what exactly does that entail for you personally?

I need to liaise with tv show producers
to understand who their target audience is precisely . They could have a core demographic of 25 to 49 year olds so I need to find advertisers that want to sell a new car to that group, for example

Is it more complicated than that?

Absolutely , I'm just giving you a very basic idea of what my job involves

Do you work for Nielsen ratings?

No, not at all.

What do you know about them?

Not much, nothing I'd be confident to tell the court as I'm not expert on that matter. They operate a ratings system with technology in certain people's homes that measures what people are watching.

Does it measure if they stop watching a show halfway through? Say during a car commercial ?

I couldn't say Mr Quigley,  I really don't know. It's not relevant to my job. I just target advertisers relevant to a given demographic.

Your honor I'd like to show the court a brief video now if I may.

Objection! Your honor we discussed this in chamber earlier, this is absolutely ridiculous. Completely irrelevant time wasting your honor.

I'm going to allow it.

Do you recognize Dora the explorer Ms. Kristol?

Sure.

If someone is watching a car commercial that you set up through your work, depending on their tv set up, theoretically they could just change the channel and start watching Dora. And you'd lose that valuable customer you worked hard to get, isn't that right Ms. Kristol?

I guess so.

Earl Quigley III graduated law school surprisingly early
