In this particular clip, he’s first coming to terms with the fact th...
This scene is a bit outrageous in the sense that the judge is so blatant with his determination to violate the witness’s right to the Fifth Amendment. Most judges have enough law knowledge to know that’s a big no-no. Nevertheless, it makes for good TV, and it gives Alicia (Julianna Margulies) a chance to flex her muscles. Plus, who doesn’t like it ...
The story is tragic, even infuriating (and has recently made the news once again).
