Former prosecutor Lucy Lang is back to take a look at more courtroom scenes from television shows and movies and breaks down how accurate they are. Can you actually "throw the book" at a witness?
Editor’s note: an earlier version of this episode included a clip from an unofficial Rick and Morty video and was published inadvertently. WIRED regrets the error.
Lucy Lang is the executive director at the Institute For Innovation In Prosecution at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

I just have to say this... this series "technique critique" has so many of my peak interests: accents, science, medical stuff, spy type things, however lawyers and things regarding law have never been of particular interest to me and so I only watched the courtroom ones because I love the series BUT they've ended up being my favorites. She is phenomenal, so well spoken, she has this calm and highly intelligent air about her but not in a "I'm smarter than you" way that a lot of professionals (specifically lawyers) can have sometimes. I would hire her in an instant if I ever needed a lawyer
