Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Ellis Blake said that he had been where at the time of the murder?

Answer: Driving back home

He had been at a golf tournament in Columbus at the Briar Crest Country Club and originally said he had been driving home at that time.

2. Who was with Lauren Richmond at the time of Ellis' questioning before Ben arrived?

Answer: Julie

Julie introduced Lauren as a new Deputy DA who would be handling the case.

3. Which case of Ben's did Lauren say she admired?

Answer: People v. Baker

Ben replied that that case was argued 25 years before Lauren was even born. Too bad she didn't say anything about admiring any of his more recent work.

4. Why was Ben late getting to Ellis' questioning?

Answer: It was the middle of the night

Poor Ben, it seems as though none of his clients can get arrested during the day time!

5. What was the name of the victim?

Answer: Jeff Holden

Jeff had been dating Ellis' daughter. Ellis didn't like it and tried to pay Jeff in exchange for Jeff's promise never to see his daughter again.

6. What was the murder weapon?

Answer: Ellis' gun

Ellis' gun was kept in his glove compartment. And, as we find out during his testimony, he rarely remembers to lock his car. Now THAT'S the type of person who really SHOULDN'T be given a gun permit!

7. How much bail did Lauren request?

Answer: $2 million

Ben countered saying that because his family and business was in the area the maximum bail should be set at was $200,000.

8. Who won the bail hearing?

Answer: Lauren

Lauren countered saying that in the day and age of telephones, fax machines, etc. the risk of flight was enormous. The judge agreed and set bail at $2 million.

9. What did Ben say to Ellis after Ellis had had several outbursts in court?

Answer: "Shut up and sit down."

Ben asked for a moment to confer with his client - the judge granted this. Then Ben turned towards Ellis and yelled at him. Throughout the entire episode, Ellis has trouble keeping his mouth shut in court and gets to spend some time in jail as a result.

10. What was NOT mentioned that Ellis had when he had to spend 24 hours in jail?

Answer: lucky penny

Even after Ben yelled at him, Gil continued to have outbursts in court. The judge got upset and found Gil in contempt of court - sending him to jail for 24 hours. Those ballmarkers would prove to be a large part of the DA's case.

11. What was the victim's profession?

Answer: caddy

Ellis didn't want his daughter associating with a mere caddy.

12. What crucial piece of evidence was found outside the victim's house?

Answer: ball marker

Lauren would talk in court about how Ellis was probably fumbling for his keys after killing Jeff and the ball marker fell out of his pocket.

13. Who had been getting large cash deposits the past year?

Answer: Jeff

Ben talked to each of Ellis' golf partners on the course about the case and he told Tom Neville that Jeff had been getting large cash deposits while Tom was making large cash withdrawals.

14. Tom Neville owned a restaurant. What was its name?

Answer: Neville's

The restaurant wasn't doing as well as Tom had been telling people.

15. Jeff had made tapes to make it look like ____ was asking around for someone to kill his grandmother.

Answer: Fred

Fred was 'close' to his very rich (and sickly) grandmother. Jeff was actually the one who brought up the topic - Fred responded that he wasn't interested but Jeff spliced the tape to make it sound like Fred actually initiated the conversation.

16. Where was Fred the the night of the murder?

Answer: Dinner

He had been eating with his (rich) grandmother.

17. Who had been having an affair with Tom Neville's wife?

Answer: Stanton

Stanton Avery didn't want this news to get out because it wouldn't look good for an adulterer to be writing books on ethics.

18. Who had pictures of the affair Tom Neville's wife was involved in?

Answer: Jeff

Jeff was blackmailing Stanton - just as he had been blackmailing Fred. Stanton would say that he had been with Tom Neville's wife the night of the murder.

19. Does Ben say he doesn't know how to play golf?

Answer: yes

But this didn't stop him from giving each of the men he was talking to pointers! The last one he gave before walking away actually worked.

20. Which of the following is an emotion that Julie did NOT state she felt the first time she had a case against Ben?

Answer: Anxious

"Overwhelmed, determined, enthused... and scared." But Julie got over those emotions and found Ben to be a (very) good friend. It's just a pity that those two characters never got together!

21. Who gave Ben the prosecution's witness list?

Answer: Julie

Ben had been in her office and Julie got it out for him. Lauren then entered Julie's office and said there was another name to add to the list. During this time, she explains that her winning the bail hearing was "beginner's luck" and that she was intimidated by Ben.

22. Who was the addition to the prosecution's witness list that Lauren mentioned?

Answer: Rob Barton

Rob Barton was a witness who said he had seen Ellis at Jeff's home the night of the murder.

23. Who was the prosecution's first witness?

Answer: Bob Brooks

Lt. Bob Brooks of the Atlanta PD is the one who tagged Ellis' gun (the murder weapon) and who talked about finding the ball marker at the scene of the crime.

24. Why did Lauren ask for a recess?

Answer: She found out about a new witness.

A man came in and whispered to Lauren that there was a witness outside with information vital to the case. Before Ben could object to placing a new witness on the stand, she replied that she could do her questioning then recess so Ben could cross-examine the witness the next day - after he had been able to prepare.

25. Who did Ellis say he had met in jail?

Answer: Fred Bigolo

He had shared a cell with Fred. This is the man that Lauren asked to call as a witness without having put him on the witness list.
