Kinda, yeah. But our real high-profile client was an even more famous actor who hired a contract killer to cut out the competition without taking the blame!
Phoenix got him to confess to the crime himself, forcing a guilty verdict.
He might have thought he could get away with taking out another actor before, buuut, let's just say prison seemed a lot safer than the guy he broke a contract with coming after him instead.
[immediately and instinctively withdraws his hand to put it on top of Azul's, just like a cat. also is maya kind of purring?? that's probably what that sound is.]
Definitely. There's no one in the world I trust more to reach the just verdict, buuuuut cases with Phoenix are definitely never boring.
No one gets dismissed for stuff like sleeping. One of the prosecutors even uses a whip.
[Mildly offended;]
But when I point out that a witness is totally making up stories on the stand, it's, you're in contempt of court, Maya, if you don't sit down, I'm going to have you arrested, Maya...

I have! I mean, I was a defendant for a couple of them... but I've been at the attorney's bench with Nick a bunch of times!

It was so cool! We got to travel to the set and meet the actors, too, and see the Steel Samurai's costume up close— it was awesome.
