The template for this arc is Inherit The Wind, considered as one of the top 10 best courtroom dramas of all time.
But copying genius is still genius.
The Spencer Tracy movie dealt with issues of religion. This deals with issues of morality. Difference? Not much.
The audience, the characters, pretty much know what happened "factually." But the law is an odd animal. It is man's attempt to grasp at something greater than himself. Messing with evidence is wrong. But using the law to get back at your brother for a lifetime of perceived wrongs is no better.
Also the way the producers set up entire episodes with flashbacks that initially make no sense is becoming almost a trademark.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
