Celeste Wood wins the trial. Marlee and Nick's past is discovered by one of Fitch's henchmen. They were high school sweethearts when Marlee's sister was killed in a school shooting. The town sued the gun company from which the shooter got the gun from, but they lost and went bankrupt. Fitch had worked on the case. Marlee and Nick had chosen this case to get revenge on Fitch.

Rankin Fitch: Gentlemen, trials are too important to be left up to juries.
Trivia: Everyone walks around the French Quarter drinking Starbucks coffee. There isn't a Starbucks very close to the Quarter. The closest one is also hard to find. When I'm there I usually drink Cafe du Monde coffee while walking around the Quarter.
Question: I know that Jennifer Beals is not exactly a big star right now, but I was still surprised to see her in such a tiny role...does anyone know if she originally had a bigger scene that was cut?
Answer: Jennifer Beals' role is a bit of a misdirection towards the viewer, a little like Janet Leigh in "Psycho". It misleads the viewer into beleiving she might be crucial to the plot.
