The Defenders - Nevada v. Cerrato

Two stories this week with both boys defending their own cases.  Nick is looking after a friend who is accused of arson and then murder when a body is found in the burnt out premises.  Pete has an interesting case with a man who ran up a tab and lost six million dollars while drunk at a casino.
The first story had Nick working out a crafty way of getting the real bad guy to talk - clever! Pete's was a little more grey at first with when does someone have to take responsibility for their actions?  The Casino was in the wrong, but they couldn't just let the guy off.  They have a reputation to uphold and if they let one guy do it, then everyone will do it.  It is very clever the way this conundrum is handled with the defendant losing the case but being able to pay the Casino back with their own money?!
I really love this show.  I love the way the main characters interact with one another and I love the clever storylines.  Great show!
