A corporate executive is found dead in Central Park. He was the COO of a biomedical engineering startup run by a charismatic female CEO. Upon further investigation, the detectives discover that the company was selling cancer screening tests that do not work.
The CEO is arrested for fraud and murder. The prosecutor assembles a jury of middle and lower income people who’d be much less inclined to fall for a rich person’s sales pitch. Unfortunately, the CEO outmaneuvers them by claiming battered woman syndrome. And she is selling it well, seeing as how quite a few jurors were, or have closely known abuse victims. Against Maroun's advice, Price questions the defendant's story of abuse - making him look bad to the jury, and risking the case.
When the CEO attributes a broken arm she suffered a few months ago to the abuse, the prosecutors question why she hasn't presented evidence of this in her defense. They cross check her story, and then call her polo coach as a witness - who testifies the defendant actually broke her arm falling off her horse. This leaves her with no leg to stand on, and she is eventually convicted. Price is relieved that she's been proven a liar and won't harm the cause of real victims of abuse.
