Why did the lawyer try to free Crews?


Why did the lawyer in season 1 take the time to free Crews and how did she turn up the evidence to free him?

reply

they never really told us the answer to that question. I got the feeling that they had known each other for some time and had gone through some sort of hard time/trauma together some time in the past. That is just my surmising, though.

Just some food for thought,
Peace, Y'all!

I think she was somehow knowledgeable of the whole bank robbery

I don't know if she had any knowledge of the bank robbery, but I believe that she was led to Charlie's case by someone [Mickey Rayborn?] who knew not only about the robbery, but also about the murder of Charlie's friend and his family, for which Charlie went to prison in the first place.

I felt that she was some kind of pro bono lawyer & this case somehow got her attention(Media perhaps). She believed Charlie despite all the evidence that was stacked against him for some reason & somewhere along the lines she & Charlie developed an emotional & intellectual romance of sorts. I was pretty bummed when they simply forgot about her in the show. She & Charlie had a great dynamic.

She was a bleeding heart looking for a cause, and luckily found a real one with an attractive man
