How quickly would Woods client been able to leave?


After the judge declares not guilty?

Since she was still in prison and not on bail she would have had to been taken back to the jail and processed out first.

I remember someone saying something like "Brooke in real life would be taken back to the jail and they would interrogate Chutney for confessing to accidentally killing her father thinking it was Brooke. Brooke could be in the jail for three more days before actually being let out of the jail. I guess the Producers felt the film was long enough and needed to be wrapped up very quickly, so they decided to show Brooke being freed on the spot." That poster had good points!:)

Drake is repetitive. He just raps the same thing over and over as if he is in an insane asylum! LOL!

This movie deals with a lot of steareotypes and parodies many of them.

It's typical in a movie for the innocent client to walk down the courtroom steps alongside their victorious counsel, recieving the attention of a hysterical press corps.

Who is to say how long passed between the scenes inside the courtroom and the scenes outside? After all, it would take some time for all those reporters to rush to the court, seeing as how the trial came to an unexpected conclution.

It gets tiresome when people constantly search for the slightest transgression of realism in lighthearted movies.

Like they noticed something that nobody else did and that make them some kind of critical expert.

You know, I never really paid attention to the fact that the press reporters do show up rather "quickly," when quite some time should have passed for them to be there until you mentioned it . Well, there is the fact that Brooke is seen wearing the same clothes when she walks down the courthouse steps a free woman as she was during her trial, making it look like just minutes had passed since her case was dismissed due to Chutney stupidly confessing to the Murder without thinking.
