S03E10 — Shot in the Dark

Mick's murder trial unfolds in a single day. The prosecution presents planted ballistics, eyewitness accounts, and his documented presence near the debate hall to argue he was the family's enforcer sent to eliminate a political threat. Maria defends him and argues every piece of evidence was fabricated by Boston. Mick takes the stand and testifies that he received an anonymous tip on election morning warning that Mendoza would be killed, and spent the day trying to stop it, arriving seconds too late. The account is corroborated only by his own testimony and a destroyed burner phone. The jury finds him guilty of first-degree murder. Maria announces an appeal. Outside the courthouse, Vincent tells Carla it is not over.
