Convictions - S7-E2

Character mistake: In the previous episode, Bernice was arrested because the police thought she was Jimmy's client, and Eugene wouldn't allow him to refute that, since it would reveal the true kidnapper, their client, is still out there. In this episode, with Jimmy now representing Bernice, he admits in court she wasn't his client, but despite Eugene's concerns the cops don't put two and two together and continue to pressure Jimmy to reveal the real kidnapper, who resolves the story herself by coming forward.

Privilege - S7-E1

Plot hole: A kidnapper who raised her victim hires Jimmy to tell the mother the girl is OK. Jimmy is subpoenaed to reveal the kidnapper, which he'd be allowed to do for an ongoing crime. He beats it by giving an impassioned speech about the sanctity of not violating attorney-client privilege under any circumstances. That's rich considering that in season 6 Jimmy violated a much more rock-solid privilege in the case regarding the boy who had a brain aneurysm. Yet no one ever brings up the prior incident.

Bobby Donnell: It's better that ten guilty men go free, than one innocent man suffer.
