The Practice - Season 5 Episode 22
Public Servants

Helen is enraged by Richard Bays execution and determined to punish Jackie Cahill and all other responsible parties. She makes a deal with Cahill, offering him immunity on Bays murder plus the added bonus that she wont announce that hes a snitch and release him into the general prison population if he gives up the shooter. He agrees. After the shooter has been killed by police, Helen reneges on the deal, claiming Jackie hasnt fulfilled the terms of the agreement. Jackies lawyer protests and drags Helen into court. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Jimmy defend a man on charges that he strangled his wife. Rebecca is adamant about the mans innocence, arguing that the only reason hes being prosecuted is because he was stunned by his wifes death and gave the investigating officer erroneous information. Rebecca and Jimmy are shocked to later learn that their client has a history of strangling both women and chickens.
