(Seriously how about a warning HBO).
I think what we have is a situation where Box got the DA in this and now they are actually having to prove out their case for trial... and it's not perfect.
So:
- Nas' version of events up to the point they reached Andrea's is proving to be 100% correct.
- Trevor's testimony has been scratched off as unreliable... and he might even be helpful to Nas even if he doesn't want to be.
- The hand wound on Nas could be either the knife.... or from breaking the window in the front door.
- They did get the evidence about Nas on 'speed' ie Adarol.

I thought that was just a metaphor for "Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye"
I think he was talking about the needle in the eye.
Either that, or just stick a needle in my eye after showing me dead penis.

Still think he did it. At least, moreso than anyone else at the moment.
Favorite part though was the defense investigator at the house. That one scene setup potential reasonable doubt. The door doesn't lock, if Nas was asleep in the kitchen with the fridge open (which they made a point to be clear to the viewer that he was) then someone coming in from that door wouldn't have seen him when they came in. And if he was asleep from the drugs he wouldn't have heard them. Blood where Nas wasn't seen by the witness across the street. Blood in the knife drawer that we never saw Nas go into in the first episode. Some solid stuff there.
They keep focusing on that deer head though. Buggin' me.

If there isn't a reason the deer head, feet, and cat have all been focused on time and time again, I'll be sorely disappointed.
I assume the cat leads to the conclusion that the gate did not close/lock when she let the cat out.
Feet -
I just chalk it up a s part of the character development for Stone.Deer head - I had hoped for a hidden camera, but probably/maybe blood stain?

As far as I know we still haven't officially ruled out "murder by antlers".I assume the cat leads to the conclusion that the gate did not close/lock when she let the cat out.

Cat is connected to the door and something else maybe....
Deer head, I have no idea. But they are showing it way too much to be nothing I would think.
Ston'e feet could be setting Stone up for a massive fall. He is taking drug cocktails all over the place to combat it and now to combat ED. He is also allergic to the cat. If he ends up being second chair somehow in the trial, the combination of drugs he is under and an allergic reaction or drugs to combat that reaction could result in Nas having an ineffective counsel appeal.
Or, thinking as I'm typing - how about Stone basically coming close to killing himself over the skin stuff and everything else that he has suffered (bad reputation, no respect in the legal community, etc) and doing something like sacrificing himself with some thug (like the guy at the house in ep 1 that he just chased) that connects to better reasonable doubt for Nas or helps to prove Nas is innocent.

Stone's feet come into play when he uses them to smuggle in something for Naz since it's been established the jail guards no longer search him due to his foot condition.
Freddie will make him do this in exchange for providing a person who confessed to the murder.

The pharmacist was the dude from Early Edition and he hasn't been on IMDB (but I did notice him in the credits on last night's episode).
I'm not sure why I'm responding to you.

Jeannie Berlin playing the role of the prosecutor Helen Weiss; Her voice and face make her so interesting to watch.
And I'm not afraid to say that I think she belongs listed in the "Woman you find oddly attractive" thread.

Must be tough having to pull out a magnifying glass every time u take a leak.
I doubt the dominant hand thing is going to play into the case. It feels like the director is just throwing us wanna be detectives a bone. Besides the right handed punch, he was kinda adopting a right handed stance while he was working the heavy bag.
I realize his thug transformation is occurring way more quickly on the show than it would in real life. I believe that is the director taking license to reinforce the female lawyers assertion as to what would happen to a relatively innocent youth who is put in the system. But...maybe he had been recruited for the IS and had already begun "training", think Homeland.

I mean couldn't Freddie get like multiple years knocked off for providing guilty parties to the prosecution? Why would he do it for smack? It doesn't seem like he's hurting for anything.

I'm starting to think this is a visual metaphor too. Whether it's 'deer in the headlights = Nas' or the deer = victim (whether that's Nas or Andrea or both), something like that.

Are you referring to the pic that the DA showed the coroner? Was that Andrea's hand or Nas'?

When he stabbed her hand playing the knife game, her hand was palm up.
Could be interpreted as a defensive wound, could be nothing, but thought it was odd that when she did it to herself it was palm down. Then when she wanted Naz to do it, she put her hand palm up.

Multiple people eating grapes this week. The prosecuter when she was interviewing the black guy who had a verbal altercation with Nas on the night of the murder and the guy from the wire who is protecting Nas/making him his drug mule. No idea if has any significance , the show likes to do this it seems.

Maybe she stabbed herself to death to frame Nas because she's racist.

Pretty sure it was Naz, as a Brony, wearing the deer head, doing her doggy style. Killed her with the antlers.
Crime of passion imo.

As soon as you take that deal you seal your fate forever. At least of you get convicted new evidence, a suspect, or an appeal are possible. I'd never plead guilty to anything I didn't do, that's crazytown IMO.
Trech was a prisoner in the day room and I saw Stickyfingaz name in the credits a few eps back, but didn't notice him

Poor kid is innocent of the murder but will get put away for jail crimes.

Yep. Seems to be heading in that direction. The show is a bit like The Wire in that one of the themes seems to be the effect that institutional dysfunction has on individuals.

Just think, if Nas just stayed in his room at home that night like a "good boy" we wouldn't even have a show to watch.

You've got to be kidding. I couldn't keep a hard on with her if I mainlined Viagra. She'd have a better chance of coaxing a boner out of that corpse.

Even if he could extract rigor mortis from the eye and inject it into my schvantz, it would still be like trying to jam cooked spaghetti through a buttonhole.

Hard to feel sorry for the Paki kid in E1, sorry. You dose up on ecstacy and cocaine, you allow some strange girl with an eerie resemblance to Katie Holmes push you to partake in some wild stabbing game that no one on E&C would want to try in the first place. She's magically full of stab wounds when he wakes up, we don't even know that he is innocent and I am supposed to care if he gets caught or not?
Terrific lead actor who I think was in Nightcrawler opposite Jake Gylenhal but this story is hard to believe or feel much. It sux that somehow he is going to take the rap for murder...well boys and girls don't do cocaine with a strange girl and have wild sex and blackout next to a naked stabbed body and scream foul play...something you did in the night contributed to all of this. I was rooting for the black female officer, she was the only person that seemed to know he was up to no good. She deserved a medal
And see I don't think I'm supposed to be rooting for that officer, in fact she did a fine acting job and likely got most of the audience to feel like nails on a chalkboard as she was marching him into and out of her car...not to mention the fact that 3 different officers told her to cut that SOB loose and she still somehow managed to keep marching him to jail...just made no sense so I started rooting for the female cop.
Do I need to invest 7 more episodes into this?
