Arc Words: "Bitch". They're the same words the killer painted on the wall using Paige's blood, and repeated by Bobby Slade in court.

Amoral Attorney: Turns out that Barnes and Ransom left Krasny's office because he had withheld evidence that proved Styles's innocence.

Anti-Villain: Thomas Krasny. He’s the District Attorney who has Jack Forrester arrested under the suspicion that he murdered his wife. Even though he isn’t very pleasant towards the main cast, he’s simply just doing his job and has every right to suspect Jack as the prime suspect. Zig-zagged. Some time after the trial started, it seemed like Krasny was deliberately framing Jack even though he knew about suspect's innocence. Later though, during a debate inside court's chambers, Krasny revealed his suspitions regarding the real outcome of the story. He was later proven to be right.
