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.

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.

I was watching last night's rerun of the Criminal Minds S6 finale, and saw a promo for the new season in the middle. There was one shot where everyone was in the round table room, and there was a guy standing next to JJ whom I couldn't ID right away until the light bulb went on. Whitefonted because I can't remember of promos should be spoilerfonted or not: OMG, Hotch has a beard! And was wearing casual clothes at the office !

So true. I do love Lucifer as her attorney.

Holy crap. I just caught a re-run while piddling around in the hotel... that's who that was! I knew I knew the actor, but I could completely not figure it out. He's great as her attorney. It was the one where he observed her doing the interrogation of... well, Beverly from Eureka. Too funny.
