The Brass Verdict
Why did McSweeney attack Mickey?
Mickey Haller is dealt with as a loose end in episode 10 of The Lincoln Lawyer. Griggs shows up with his officers and breaks up the fight, but McSweeney tumbles off the top of the cliff to his death.
Griggs finally gets up to speed on what’s happening here. He paid off McSweeney to kill Lara and Jan. He’s also juror number 7, the one who went missing earlier in the season. But things are still not falling into place, given we still don’t know who killed Jerry in the parking lot.
Why couldn’t Glory testify in court with Menendez?
The main point of this article is that Lorna came to see her friend Jesus Menendez and found out he was innocent of the murder of her friend. She also offered to help him find the real killer.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, Glory admitted that she needed protection from Mickey Menendez because he was a crooked cop. She said that she was scared of him because he had threatened her life.
Mickey takes this news to Griggs, pointing out that Perez was denied a promotion twice and believes that Officer Winters had her scare off his witness so she wouldn’t testify.
What happens to Trevor Elliott?
Mickey is sent to see Trevor Elliott instead of Griggs, who apparently has a big announcement. Infront of the press, he’s on the verge of talking about the next stage of Parallax Games… when Carol Dubois shows up and shoots him three times. ..
Cisco has been investigating the murder of Jerry and he’s come to the conclusion that Mickey didn’t kill him and that he was only telling the truth when he said he didn’t care about his death. He also believes that Harold Casey, the biker, is responsible for Jerry’s death and he wants to speak to him himself to find out for sure. However, Mickey won’t let Cisco go nearCasey, telling him that any debt that needs to be paid can go through him. He wants Mickey out of this rivalry and out of the business altogether.
Maggie learns from Lankford that the recording of Soto’s confession is garbled and it can’t be used. Maggie has faith that she can get a good result for her client but Mickey isn’t so sure.
Glory takes the stand in court and speaks about Linda Perez and her grudge against her. Next up, Linda takes to the stand and with footage, shows her in a service elevator heading up to Glory’s room. This contradicts Linda’s earlier statement, something that the judge comes down hard on her for. Anyway, Perez points out Lankford was a part of this and that she struck a deal with him. He’s livid when he finds out and can barely control his rage in the courtroom. ..
What happens with the Soto case?
That night, Maggie arrives to see Mickey and explains that she’s put everything into her case. She built everything around Lankford’s testimony but now it’s worthless and can’t be used to take Soto down. Mickey bites back, admitting he had no idea that Lankford was part of this. The pair end up having an argument, with Maggie admitting that she can’t look past this and doubts they’ll be able to get back together.
With the Soto case completely dead, that means Soto is going to go free. Even worse, Maggie is also going to be dropped from her position. When she shows up in court to hear Soto has been found not guilty, everything looks to be going wrong. Only, suddenly Sarah Walker, an assistant United States attorney, appears and quickly arrests Soto for human trafficking and conspiracy. The feds have him now and through Maggie’s contacts, it looks like he’s going to go down after all.
Who shot Jerry and had Mickey’s car bugged?
Mickey heads back to see Judge Holder, who wishes him well and all the best in the future. With Mickey called in for jury summons earlier in the season, it’s got him thinking over who could have the power to do that. Someone like Judge Holder herself perhaps?
The note was sent by Mickey to Judge Stanton the day after he sent it, as a way of testing the waters and seeing if Holder would be the one to take action. The note says that if Holder goes public with this information, he will end Mickey’s life.
Cisco and Holder have done their homework and realized that McSweeney was one of Holder’s former clients. This gave the Feds cause to wiretap her and, thanks to Griggs’ help, they have more than enough to arrest her and take her down.
How does The Lincoln Lawyer Season 1 end?
Mickey’s surfing is mentioned throughout the season, but it’s his appearance at the end of the season that has everyone talking. A man wearing black and sporting a tattoo on his left arm watched him from the shore, and it seems like he knows something about Mickey.
The Episode Review
The final twist in this show’s messy final chapter wraps up what’s otherwise a rather messy series. I genuinely think every random case in this series should have been cut completely and focused exclusively on the Trevor Elliott murder case, which is by far the most interesting part of this show. ..
The Soto-Cisco-Menendez story feels rushed and underdeveloped. Characters like Lorna and Cisco just feel one-note archetypes with very little to go on. What is Cisco’s big deal that he’s entered with Casey? I guess we’ll have to wait but these sort of niggling questions are left unresolved for sequel bait at the end of this chapter. However, there is a case to be made for this one being renewed. ..
The eighth and ninth episodes of “Stranger Things” have been some of the best in the show’s run, largely because they’ve focused on the case of Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). ..
The Lincoln Lawyer is a legal show that seems to be doing well on television. However, it’s also worth noting that this show has potential to be even better. Whether or not viewers will feel the same way is up for debate.
