Charlie Bauer, a semi-retired lawyer, takes Noah’s case, although Noah is resistant. He will not speak to her about the details of the night of Jimmy’s death. The evidence against Noah is circumstantial but substantial: He had been slaughtering pigs on the day of the death, and pig blood had been found at the scene. Blood from the scene had been found on the tarp at his house, which was partially burned and buried. The ring found at the scene fits Kyoko, and Jimmy had been paying Kyoko unwanted attention prior to the crime. Also, Jimmy had just fired Noah. Charlie explains to him that it does not look good. Noah initially insists that he wants to neither fight the charges nor admit guilt, and Charlie explains to him that she is going to enter a plea of not guilty and argue self-defense. At that point, although he has given her no detail about what happened on the night of Jimmy’s death, she sees a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
