Sleight of Hand – When a Touchy Case Disappears in Court
Public Defender Ali Siddiqi takes center stage in this episode, pulling off one of his sharpest tricks yet: walking his client on a sexual battery charge the state swore they had nailed down.
Some people are just touchy-feely, some aren't — and Ali showed the jury exactly why his client didn't belong in the latter category. With skillful advocacy and a little courtroom magic, he made the prosecution's case vanish right before their eyes.
Because when the state tries to turn smoke into fire, sometimes all it takes is a little sleight of hand to reveal the truth.
