* DesignatedVillain: Dwight Dickham does his very best to put Joseph in jail, because that's his job as a prosecutor. He's accused of acting on a personal vendetta against Joseph, but he insists that's ridiculous, as he's simply trying the case based on the facts. [[spoiler: He's ultimately successful in having Joseph convicted, but later signs off on his compassionate release so he doesn't have to die in prison.]]

* JerkassHasAPoint: Like As is typical with the AmoralAttorney trope, Hank says at the beginning gets a lot of the movie, guff for helping guilty people to go free. He's quick to retort that it's not his fault when a prosecutor can't find evidence the prosecutor's job to prove his clients guilty, and it's their fault if they can't. Defending his client to the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.best of his ability is not only his job, but also his ethical duty.
