* DoesntTrustThoseGuys: The primary defense is to accuse a specific Jew who works in the school, and to accuse other Jews of trying to hide this in what he calls a "Jewish conspiracy".

* IvyLeagueForEveryone: The students (including the defendant) bought the grades in order to get i to Ivy League universities. In the trial, the prosecution points out that many of the Jewish students in the school ''are'' going to Ivy League, and the defendant isn't only because the deceased had discovered and exposed that several students (including the defendant) had bought the grades.

Kincaid adds that, once Camarillo told the lawyers and police what he knew, all of the other evidence was re-admitted under the 'inevitable discovery' rule. [=McCoy=] says he's willing to discuss a plea, but Marsdale says that she's not there to talk about that. Rather, she's informing [=McCoy=] of Hastings' new lead council, Roy Payne. Payne enters the room as Marsdale introduces everyone.

[=McCoy=] and Kincaid turn to leave, but Briscoe stops them by saying that only his mother was Jewish. His father wasn't, and he was raised Catholic.

At voir dire[[hottip:*: jury selection ]], Kincaid asks a Mr. Carson if he's ever used a slur to describe a Jewish person. Carson says that he might have, but never did so to someone's face.

"Mr. Payne simply wants to exclude them. That's unconstitutional, even for preemptory challenges[[hottip:*: these are challenges where jurors are excluded without the lawyer needing to give a reason.]]."\\

Sabloff testifies that Kovax was the go-to person for asking foundations to donate money to the school. Payne asks how much money Kovax raised. When Sabloff won't answer, saying he doesn't know, Payne asks for (and receives) permission to treat Sabloff as hostile [[hottip:*: this means that Payne can now ask leading questions]]. Payne asks if the school received nearly three million dollars due to Kovax's actions. Payne reiterates that Kovax was a great teacher and fundraiser, and so was a valuable asset to the school. Payne asks if Sabloff told Briscoe this, and Sabloff says that he did. Payne then asks if Briscoe called him to ask about Kovax's whereabouts on the night of the murder. Sabloff remembers this; it was when he told Briscoe that he'd seen Kovax leave at about 6:30.

Payne shrugs this off, saying that he only filed some briefs for the Klan but isn't actually a member. He says that he and Marsdale will argue that Hastings is being framed by Jewish conspirators in order to cover up the real murderer, Kovax (who is also Jewish).
