3. This attack prompts Celeste Wood to charge the gun company and take them to court. Who plays her lawyer, Wendall Rohr?

Answer: Marlee

Marlee (Rachel Weisz) later requested 10 million dollars from each lawyer, so that she could swing the vote either way. Little did either of the lawyers know, she was in with Nicholas Easter, who had made up his little act to ensure himself a spot in the final jury. Wendall Rohr began to pay, but in the end decided not to. Fitch offered her 500,000 dollars, which angered Marlee.
