Plot
Supreme court judge, Kenneth Hoffman (Peter Strauss) oversees a high-profile murder trial which appears to be an open-and-shut case. The murderer has confessed and Prosecutor Susan Jansen (Jonelle Allen) is direct and hard hitting, and the jury has delivered a guilty verdict. However, Judge Hoffman discovers that the evidence was not legally obtained, and for him to reject it and the trial outcome may have consequences for his career.

gollark: Great?
gollark: Due to C's inferior type system, it does not generally autodetect this kind of issue, but basically, local variables are stored in temporary storage and you cannot safely pass pointers to them outside of where they came from.

gollark: The solution is to use global variables and invoke the wrath of Zeus, or I guess to just malloc some memory to store a copy of `reqCounts` in.
gollark: If so, it'll be on the stack, not the heap, so it'll be overwritten when another function does things.
