The case made no sense, period. I get that Therese was supposed to be a can't-ever-take-myself-seriously character à la Sarah Silverman, but even Silverman would be smart (or just coherent) enough to not be a wise ass when $2 million of her own money is on the line. This girl was deliberately undermining her own…

Thanks, @avclub-fa3a6526569956b7e39960592bf0e30d:disqus. So as I understand your explanation, the testimony would have been ok (not hearsay) if the witness just heard the noises resulting from the struggle.

Can someone refresh my memory on why the corruption charges against Peter were dropped? I remember that Childs had some illegal dealings of his own, but wasn't there also a contractor who was ready to testify against Peter (albeit at Childs' behest)?
