"This is our duty. As officers of the court, we have an ethical obligation..."
I still think that at some point Howard will play a crucial anti-Chuck role in the Chuck/Jimmy feud. Maybe not to do with the B&E, but *eventually*.
shareI thought Kim put to rest the admissibility of that evidence in court. Can Jimmy the conman still not see that Chuck is setting him up?
shareI think -- as Chuck's incorrect prediction about Jimmy's timing showed -- that destroying evidence was only a secondary aim of Jimmy, and the main reason he went over there was to confront Chuck. Jimmy is upset about how little Chuck values their relationship, and that's the reason he didn't play things smarter. I think to him, destroying the tape and threatening to burn the house down was more symbolic than being about the tape itself.
shareOh... I forgot that my DVR froze at the point where Jimmy came to the door with only a minute or two left. I'll have to go finish that online.
shareSame thing happened to me... damn you DVRs!
shareMy DVR has been freezing lately, too. Happily, not during new eps of series I'm following, like BCS. I'd have been steamed if that had happened. Just wondering--my service is through AT&T/DirecTV. Same with yours, or are other services having problems, too?

Mine is Time Warner which is "becoming Spectrum". I previously had a minor problem with the DVR cutting off the last few seconds of a show. I remedied this by programming the recordings to start one minute early and end one minute late. That seems to have done the trick.

The tape would be inadmissible in court - however, Jimmy's destroying evidence would be admissable.
But I really think Jimmy has some angle going here. He's smarter than that.
Judging by Jimmy's interaction with that local prosecutor, Jimmy's "angle" was that he figured he'd most likely be able to easily "plead down" with one of the locals. And the way he was beating himself up talking to Kim implies he really was blindsided by Chuck's scheme.
I think what will save Jimmy when it goes to trial is Chuck's performance on the witness stand.
I made my comment after Mondays episode "Sunk Costs" aired but before I had watched it. He had no angle, he screwed up.
shareI suppose Jimmy's blindness is coming from his desire to have his brother love and accept him so much.
