The Lincoln Lawyer
This article contains discussions of intimate partner violence and murder.
Spoilers for The Lincoln Lawyer season 3 are ahead!
As Andy and Mickey start a relationship, they both introspect about their career choices.
One court case that causes Andy to start spiraling is the domestic violence against a woman named Deborah Glass.
This has deadly consequences when Andy forgets to tell Deborah that her abuser will be out of court custody.
The judge can also implement conditions like drug testing or not leaving the state.
They cannot withdraw their guilty plea anymore or request a trial.
At this point, a judge has to accept the deal, possessing the discretion to reject it.
Unfortunately, everyone involved made the wrong decision by giving Scott Glass a Cruz Waiver to attend a funeral.
He had a proven history of violence, and he posed a significant risk to his victim.
Did Andy Cause Deborah’s Murder With Her Cruz Waiver Mistake?
First and foremost, Scott Glass murdered his wife.
However, other individuals failed to protect her, even if they didn’t cause her death.
By forgetting to call Deborah, Andy failed her.
Another person who must harbor some blame for failing Deborah is the judge.
Additionally, by definition, domestic violence is a violent offense.
Domestic violence charges disqualify an individual from getting an order of release for a funeral.
