Episode Report Card Couch Baron: C+ | 4 USERS: C+ YOU GRADE IT Who Mourns For Saint Blonde?

Anyway, the jurors argue for a bit, and Veronica then points out that her theory that McKinnon's father paid off Myles is no less crazy than the theory that a pimp showed up to take the rap for two white boys out of the goodness of his heart, and maybe this wouldn't seem tiresome if I hadn't come to that conclusion myself half an hour ago. Another juror points out that they saw the guy on the tape holding the gun, but Veronica theorizes that the gun actually belonged to Aneesa, only she couldn't admit that because she's not allowed to own a gun, based on her parole. I don't know how these people could vote guilty beyond a reasonable doubt based on this theory, given that it doesn't look like half of them would understand it even if Veronica used a flow chart and sock puppets. So the point is that Aneesa's friend Simmons is the one she called, and he showed up, took the gun, and got rid of it for her, and he's the one they saw on the tape. I'd like to know where the sheriff's people were in all this, but maybe they had a department-wide emergency concerning notebook flaps. It happens. C of I is skeptical, so Veronica takes them through a long chain of deductive reasoning. I'm deducing from the forum comments that you won't mind if I skip it.
Inga marches up to Keith and hands him an anonymous email she just got offering fifty grand for the tapes. Sacks pipes up that they all got them. Off Keith's look: "I told the sheriff!" Heh. Keith demands another copy of the email list...
...and then he's using Inga's email address (last name "Olofson," FYI) to send a message accepting the offer to "gottapes@gmail.com." He asks for details of the transfer and pickup.
Anywhere But Here. The jurors look at the tape of the dude scaling the fence, and make obvious comments about the knee injury and how easy it would be to mistake the one dude for the other at this distance. I don't think the distance is so much the problem as the fact that the resolution on that tape makes the cheapest cable-access shows look sharp as a tack by comparison. Veronica calls another vote, and now the vote is ten to two in favor of conviction, like, NOT. The bailiff pokes his head in and tells Veronica that the judge would like to see her. C of I says he'll never vote for conviction, so she should tell the judge that the jury is hung. I hate to agree with the bad guy here, but: yes, please.
Keith gets an email back saying, "Sorry dude, I already have the tapes." Keith intones, "That's Mr. Mars to you," and thanks for the big reveal, but I kind of think Logan knew you were on to him there, Keith, since his the fact that he already was in possession of the tapes was just the tiniest hint that your email wasn't genuine. Also, I don't think even the most die-hard Californian would address Inga as "dude."
