    Where's the Protection

    Two significant focuses. First of all is Bobby's failure to deal well with nearly being killed by his client. He is so stubborn and full of himself he can't even seek help from his colleagues. He can't face the courtroom either. Ellenor is forced to second chair for a killer who is representing himself. He is charming like a cobra. She seems to put a lot of trust in these phony guys because they have the gift of gab. The conclusion is quite breathtaking.
