Plot Overview

After Judd defends a beautiful young heiress on a shoplifting charge, he recommends that she see a psychiatrist, which opens up a whole new can of worms for his client, as she's now being charged with armed robbery and assault based on information she told him in their sessions. He then tries to argue that the testimony that his client gave falls under doctor/patient privilege, but eventually discovers that the best way to help his client is to delve further into the relationship between her and her father.
