I've got three words to jog your memory:
Orenthal James Simpson.
Still think Clay Davis couldn't really use a circus defense like that and win an acquittal?
Credit to Simon and the writers for setting it up, too, with Pearlman cramming at night and telling Daniels that Bond hasn't tried a case in years and he'll need all the help he can get. As Davis goes on his monologue in the trial there's a cut scene where you can see Pearlman practically jumping out of her skin while Bond looks like a deer in the headlights. It's not her case, and she will let Davis walk before risking her career by embarrassing Bond.
I had a bunch of other stuff I wanted to say, but I made the huge mistake of watching next week's episode via On Demand. Damn...if you haven't seen it you won't believe it.
