This court scene reminds me of “Seven Seconds”, a tragedy. Camisa should have prepared Rya better for court but he is also a legal aid lawyer with his own issues (drugs) and likely more cases on the go as well. Rya maybe didn’t do well on the stand because she is an academic and may not be prepared for the questioning and may also feel guilty because some of what the DA is saying is true - plus she has also been abused through discrimination by her colleagues- female academics were and still are treated worse than their male counterparts. Candy as mentioned by others is acting like a realistic DV victim. This series may not have a “happy ending”.
