Recap / The Good Wife S 2 E 02 Double Jeopardy

Go To

Alicia and Will get a man acquitted for the murder of his wife. Cary Agos gets the army to retry him, since he was in the military. Lockhart-Gardner wants to merge with Derrick Bond's law firm.

Tropes

  • Call-Back: Alicia quips that she thought she was done visiting men in prison.
  • Death of the Hypotenuse: Corporal Brad Vernick is theorized to have been the denedant's wife Judith's lover, but he died three months ago.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Simmons is acquitted a second time, he is deployed to Afghanistan, where his wife's murderer awaits.
  • Rules Lawyer: Alicia's tendencies toward this come in handy in military court.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Investigators claim they only found the defendant's finger prints on the crime scene, i.e. his house; the defendant himself claims he's had multiple people from the army over.
