Chapter 41 Summary

Rudy goes to the mall three times a week now. Kelly only ever walked by once so far, alone. Rudy is still troubled about jury selection. While he sits in the mall and sips a beverage, he also memorizes the questionnaire cards that the court provides the lawyers about the potential jurors. Max has given him a few pointers about which types of jurors would be most sympathetic to the Blacks. Max advises Rudy to select as many black women as possible.

Rudy comes up with another way to use the wire-tapping to their advantage. Deck again leaves and calls Rudy from a payphone, acting as if they have been personally contacting each and every person on the list of potential jurors. It’s a dirty trick, but if it is Drummond listening on the other end, then he will be incensed. Drummond will also not be able to do anything about it, because otherwise he will have to admit to bugging Rudy’s and Deck’s phones. They try to make specific potential jurors, the ones Deck and Rudy especially don’t want to be selected, look as though they are exactly the people they want on the jury.

Deck returns to the office.
