S3E21 Blood In, Blood Out

As Nick anxiously awaits a decision on his future with the firm, he juggles two challenging cases involving young boys. The first is Kevin Brown, who stands accused of raping a girl who is now pregnant. The second case involves a troubled boy who violently attacked an eight-year-old girl and assaulted a social worker attempting to place him in foster care. This boy has been placed in a rehabilitation center aimed at helping him reintegrate into society. Meanwhile, Alvin takes on the case of Taliek Allen, a former client of LSP who dismissed his previous attorney. Taliek has been convicted of shooting a friend of Alvin's, and Alvin is working to appeal his sentence. However, Taliek expresses his frustration with the lengthy appeals process, feeling exhausted by the struggle to reduce his time in prison.
