Yuki and Hoffman both think that they are right and the other is wrong for the case of Stacey Glenn.

Hoffman: "I urge you to find Stacey Glenn not guilty on all charges." (55)
Yuki: "... Stacey Glenn guilty on both charges." (51)

This shows that Yuki and Hoffman both have a different perspective on the Stacey Glenn case. They are both trying to persuade to the jury that their side of the case is correct. In their eyes, they think as the other side as the "evil" side.

Claire could not find the cause of death for Mr. and MRs. Bailey after the autopsy. She did not see any drugs in the bloodstream, even though "Pet Girl" poisoned them the night before.

"The autopsies were completely negative" (104)
