I got this video from Youtube; it displays the nature of corrupt LA cops, similar to those in the book. I felt this video connected to the chapter because the cops on trial got away with murder of Robert Fernandez. The system protected them from getting in trouble when the evidence of murder appeared. The cops in charge of booking Robert made it look like a suicide when in reality he killed him. LA's finest in action. I liked this chapter because it went into detail of how intense some courtcases become and how frustrating it is when justice is not served. The moment I will remember most was the cross-examination of the black prisoner and how it broke the trial open, even though it was for nothing, Brown's lawyering skills shined through.

I liked the chapter as well. My favorite part was when the blanket prisoner says that he has seen the blanket from Robert Fernandez and exposes the murder. The chapter was full of tension from trying to figure out who was the murder.
