In this episode, a public defender walks us through a wild week in which he won two separate jury trials for the same client. The prosecution thought they had their "expert" angle locked down, but sharp cross and relentless advocacy showed otherwise.

From shaky testimony to overblown charges, this defender dismantled the state's case not once, but twice — proving that sometimes the best way to handle a so-called expert is to show the jury how little expertise is really there.

Two trials. One client. Zero convictions. That's how you do it.
