She\u2019d wanted to confront him, even left to do so, and was afraid of what she might do with it. But Brady can\u2019t just take Maroun\u2019s word (and Price\u2019s that she\u2019s never lied to him). She can, however, use a witness not picking the ADA out of a photo array and identifying the shooter as taller than Maroun. When Price fills her in, Maroun tells him that if she had the ability to take someone\u2019s life, she\u2019d be in handcuffs because she really wanted to kill him but couldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Riley, Brady, and Violet\u2019s (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/connie-shi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Connie Shi;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Connie Shi<\/a>) investigation leads to Carter\u2019s girlfriend \u2014 or rather, ex-girlfriend, Julia (Christine Spang). Though she stuck with him through the trial and defended him, his sister reveals that Julia broke up with him three days before the verdict. Furthermore, she bought the same kind of gun used to kill him three hours after the verdict. The motive is unclear, however, until her lawyer says in her opening statement that Julia shot and killed Carter in self-defense. Price doesn\u2019t buy it, arguing that she\u2019d bought the gun hours earlier and had set out to kill him that night. But can he prove it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It gets tougher when the judge allows for his past actions \u2014 being tried for rape and murder \u2014 to be admissible to speak to Julia\u2019s state of mind. Then, when Julia takes the stand, she testifies that when she broke up with him, Carter choked and raped her, then threatened to kill her if she told the police. The night of the shooting, she\u2019d taken a walk to clear her head, and when she ran into him, he approached her and said she was done. She took it mean he was going to kill her, so she shot him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Price continues to remain focused on the law, on whether lethal force was justified in that moment, while Maroun wonders what they\u2019re trying to accomplish. He reminds her that Julia buying the gun with the intent to kill Carter and leaving her apartment with it is practically the definition of murder, while Maroun reminds him that he\u2019d just raped and threatened to kill her, so she was under the influence of extreme emotional disturbance (manslaughter).\u00a0\u201cWe let a monster walk free. <em>You<\/em> let a monster walk free. If you ask me, we practically forced Julia to shoot the bastard,\u201d she says. While Price argues that\u2019s not fair, she counters that what\u2019s not fair is watching the guy who killed her sister and another woman walk free because he didn\u2019t have the guts to do what was necessary to get the conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Price then decides to offer Julia man 1, and Baxter checks that he\u2019s doing it because it\u2019s the right legal move and not to placate Maroun and make amends after Carter\u2019s trial. Price says he is. However, after they present the deal to Julia, she admits, while alone with Maroun, that she waited outside his condo that night then tries to walk it back. Price is listening outside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He then clearly waits in his office to see if Maroun will tell him, which she does after reporting Julia\u2019s lawyer says she wants to accept the plea. Price points out that means Julia lied on the stand, and Maroun agrees that, on paper, it was premeditated. He asks how she wants to proceed, and she lays out the two choices: testify as a rebuttal witness, tell the jury what Julia blurted out, or they both pretend she didn\u2019t hear what Julia said, accept plea, and move on. Price wants her opinion. Maroun wants them to accept the plea; just because they can win the case based on the letter of law doesn\u2019t mean they need to. He agrees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What did you think of the premiere and resolution to the cliffhanger?
