Jesse and Amanda tie this into the bomb maker Qwan Lok and Patricia, both of whom have the same thorn in their side, Andropovich.

The trial of Russian Mafia hitman Yuri Andropovich ends in an explosive manner. Not because of his not guilty verdict, but more because of him dying. Specifically, District Attorney Patricia Purcell uses the jury deliberation time to sneak into the impound lot and plant a bomb in his car. Mark, as a member of the jury, finds himself looking into the case.
"Murder in the Courthouse" displays symptoms of the following tropes:
* AlliterativeName: '''P'''atricia '''P'''urcell.
* BluffingTheMurderer: First, Qwan Lok's grandson is brought in for questioning in Yuri's murderer. This leads to Qwan angrily confronting Patricia, warning her that she's a dead woman if anything happens to the grandson. When Patricia gets into her car and hears a clicking sound like one from the bomb she used on Yuri, she talks Mark through how to disarm it, even saying that Qwan talked her through how to make it. Steve records the confession, Mark revealing that the click noise she heard was just a hair clip.
* DisabilityAlibi: When Andropovich is blown up, the first suspect becomes Qwan Lok, an old man with a previous conviction for bomb-making and ties to a Korean crime family that has a rivalry with the Russian Mafia; but when questioned, he points out that old age has left him blind and both arthritis and fused knuckles in his hands, which would make building a bomb out of the question. Mark notes, however, that he could still be connected to the case since neither of his disabilities prevent him from ''teaching'' bomb-making to someone else.
