Mason's Results

Mason takes the witness stand armed with what he learned with the background checks he did for both Charly and Teddy the night before the trial.

With his father Mick ready to bare witness to his son's work Mason unveils the results of his overnight data crunching.

Charly's background check unveiled that he had been diagnosed with his disorder at the age of 5, And things would only get worse before they got better it got so bad he had to abandon his dreams of being a prize-winning piano player, and settle for playing rugby as a means to control the temper tantrums, He was put on the same rugby team as Teddy Walsh and, as they got to know each other signs were there that an altercation was in the future but not a premeditated one whereas Teddy had a sealed juvie record: he had once caused bodily harm to a rugby teammate during practice for a rookie tournament so many would be amazed if Teddy was the one acting in his own defense during the fight.

With this starting testimony, Teddy's attorney takes the stand, Telling them that his client lacked intent, On Charley or his teammate,

and with that Walsh should recive no jail time and no fine just community service and even a small cash settlement for Charley's role in the overall assault.

Knowing that Charly's family could barley afford to make a settlement payment, (Hence their choice to hire public defenders like them). The g**g resolves to drive Charley's side of the case home to save the Jefferies family from financial ruin.
