To emphasize how much of a low blow this is, when she is confronted on the matter she immediately [[ItsAllAboutMe targets him over what he had done to her clinic first.]]
** Stuber's NotHelpingYourCase moment is emphasized by saying "spic" right as he's looking at Rubirosa, meaning he straight up thought he would have no consequences for committing such an act and tried to act on it. To say that [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech backfired]] would be an understatement.

* OhCrap: Once Cutter has his rant below, Stuber goes from SmugSnake to so shaken he can't even directly try to talk or mock the prosecutors anymore, and Stuber's own lawyers are shaken to realize Cutter's so serious that their own case has no choice but to accept a plea or get hell and a half.
Added DiffLines:
* PyrrhicVictory: Attempted, with the fact that the Bar and Judges know about Cutter's lack of a Bachelor's Degree at the time of his getting his law license, but they don't throw his entire series of trials into malcontent. Jack is massively disappointed when Cutter says he "dodged a bullet". But since Cutter is back to doing his job as usual as soon as the next episode, there seems to be no consequences besides Jack's declining trust in Cutter.

--'''Cutter''': You can have my license! It'll free me up to testify about the hate speech [[NotHelpingYourCase your client just spewed in here]]. And after he's convicted of murder in state court, I'll walk across to the U.S. Attorney's office and have your client prosecuted for violating the Matthew Shepard Act. Hate murder against gays is a federal offense now. Are you ready to do back to back life sentences, Mr. Stuber? You will die in jail.
