Discussion Thread Daredevil: Born Again S01E03 - Discussion Thread

Welcome back!

This thread is for discussion about the episodes.

If you have questions like "What do I need to watch before this series?"-- you can find our Spoiler Free FAQ here!

Insight will be on for at least the next 24 hours.

When Project Insight is active, all user-submitted posts have to be manually approved by the mod team before they are visible to the sub. It is our main line of defense we have for keeping spoilers off the subreddit during new release periods.

We will also be removing most outside posts about the individual episodes for the next few days to prevent spoilers about the series around the subreddit. Some posts may be allowed if they are of worthwhile effort and are properly spoiler tagged.

Discussion about details of later episodes is NOT allowed in this thread.

Proceed at your own risk: Spoilers for this episode do not need to be tagged inside this thread.

I swore the jury was going to say guilty. I haven't been so pumped for a show in a long time.

Edit: Got to the end. I've never been more mad.

I thought they might for manslaughter. Realistically that would be the strongest case against him.

I really enjoyed that Matt went for a big swing and made his case. The prosecution's end argument, while it makes sense in a vacuum, was missing an element. Intent/Motive.

Ok, he's a "good guy". Good people can do bad things. Ok, but why would he randomly attack two police officers? They were in plain clothes, didn't attest to any prior knowledge of each other, and they were just being good cops and like cleaning up litter or something right? And he just charged them.

That's where the other testimony and police reports make the White Tiger connection valuable. I'd have doubt too. Yes, they fought, and they have different versions of how it went down. But the prosecution never even leaned into "he's violent, maybe he was looking for a fight", or anything like that.

On top of not establishing motive it also casts their own witness into doubt and gives credence to the story the defence was putting forward. If the prosecution's accusation of random violence is believable, then so is the accusation that the cops were roughing up an informant.
