learned nothing at all. unbelievable.

So true. I do love Lucifer as her attorney.

Yes, I thought that Rader was badass.

Isles' bf on this week's episode: that guy so often plays sleezes that I expected there to be a connection to the murder. . .like he was a hitman or something. (It doesn't help that I just saw the episode on L&O:Cutter where he plays a slimy attorney that Rubirosa used to be involved with.)

I do love Lucifer as her attorney.

I was enjoying the fact that it's the second time she's had Lucifer represent her, since she had Ray Wise (The Devil on Reaper) playing her attorney on an earlier season.

Perhaps it is a sign. . .

do we know if she sold her soul?

I didn't so much take it as Brenda not having learned anything from the wrongful death suit as her making the calculated decision to use her reputation to get the confession. Whether she'd have set him up to be killed, I don't know. But she correctly bet that he would believe that she would do it.

That's the way I read it, too. But since everything in Interrogation is recorded, there's now a recording of her saying that stuff, including references to Terrell, and showing what could be viewed as a pattern of behavior/practice.

Isn't one literary definition of tragedy the portrayal of a fall from a great height by a character, where that fall is inevitable - not because of external circumstances, but because of that character's own flaw which he or she cannot or will not change? Chief, meet Aristotle.

We talked about this here, right? Another foot has washed ashore in British Columbia. [link]

It'll be interesting to see where they go with it. I can certainly see why a recording of that interrogation would make her lawyer's life more difficult, but cops are perfectly free to lie to people they interrogate, which Brenda does all the time. Whether they can lie in a way that can then be construed as a threat, I don't know. Even if it is a threat she has no attention of carrying out - and, of course, proving intention is difficult.

Certainly the victims' lawyer would want to use the recording to claim pattern of behavior while Brenda's lawyer will claim no such thing and there will be much too-ing and fro-ing about admissibility. Whether the show will go there is another question.

Personally, I'm waiting for Terrell's victims' family to sue Terrell's family for every penny that they may or may not win plus lawyers' fees. Just to add to the whole mess.
