The show won so many awards (and my attention), but the actress being horrible as a person contributed to the shows demise due to stereotypical difficulty working with her including her feud with Archie Punjabi (fan favorite character Kalinda) causing Archie to leave the show (it got so bad both actresses had to be film separately with stunt doubles filling the spots for camera's to make it "appear" they were filming together. Other core characters tied to pivotal plot lines left, such as Josh Charles (played Will Gardner) despite Juliana begging him to reconsider. Other examples showing the (rightfully) earned arrogance as a successful actress include telling examples, such as her storytelling of calling out Julia Roberts being rude to her before her fame as a waitress prior to her breakthrough on ER, and the entitlement she oozed retelling her calling Julia Roberts out to her face on The Ellen show. Not the only one in the industry, but that confidence to arrogance is a double edged sword. She would initially make statements about having "hung up" her shoes and wig when initially asked about appearing on "The Goodfight", yet would make multiple statements during the last season of The Goodwife that due to the creators "CHOOSING" to the end the show, she was now "Jobless" (aka putting the blame of her pending situation as the fault and decision of the creators), then later one contradict her "the mindset" she stated about "turning down offers to reprise Alicia Florrick on the Good Fight spinoff due to salary offers being below what she deserved".

He was so wrong for this it's not even funny. I used to work for a judge. They can ask if you understand your rights under the 5th but they cannot ask why you're pleading the 5th in open court. Now, if he had cleared the jury and the gallery to assess if it was necessary, it would've been a different story. But no, you do not question someone on their 5 amendment rights in open court. Alicia was right about calling for a mistrial and reporting him, because that's what happens in the real world. Judges get away with a lot but constitutional violations will have them reprimanded at best and disbarred outright at worst.

Your last sentence you are correct almost always, but the equity shifts when you're dealing with murder. It's all fun and games until you've got a murder trial and a little girl who's pleading the 5th. A judges responsibility is utmost to Justice. The Judicial board who oversees would not disbar the judge for trying their best while they have a self indicted murderer** 'on the stand' 'bound to Truth' to trick the girl, who's no longer so innocent, now a highly probably murderer or accessory to murder, into giving prosecutors a little more information in order to maximise equity to Justice. If a judge pulled that shit over a teenager joy riding a stolen merc at 4am on a Saturday morning then yes your last sentence I agree with: Out of (Good) Order; you'll get a few chances while learning the ropes and dealing with the stresses of weighing equities if arguably within Peace&GoodOrder. Anyway, what I'm saying, is: when dealing with **literal murder**; Justice is kept most in mind and small tiny bendings around the Constitution are allowed, because it's not the Constitution that a Judge is ultimately responsible to, it's to Justice itself. The Constitution is merely a vehicle used to travel, merely a conduit, merely a system by which we use in the tribe to maximise to Justice. 'The Form of Justice'. What is 'The Form' "Justice"?, many have been asking this question for millenia, since Plato infact. Not hard to answer, it's the 4D TimeSpace Matrix position where 'Justice' has the highest equity. We can't see the 4th Dimension: we simply feel it as the wind passes our cheeks and tickles our noses; hear it as it noisens our ear cannels. But, within this 4Dimensional TimeSpace Matrix, there lies a 'trail' of SpaceTime from the start of the bigbang to the end heat death of the universe, whereby 'Justice' within all Entities who lived within its entropy had the maximal Justice given to them. THIS. This, is 'The Form: Justice' Thereby i say a Judges responsibility is not to "Justice" or to "Equity", it is to: "The Experience" [to "E"]. To weigh equities to maximise 'The Experience' of the Entities within the 4D TimeSpace Matrix. Justice being but one of, but probably the highest equity thing that contributes to the highest equity of 'The Experience' and therefore it's their responsibility to maximise it. Anyway, that is where Alicia forgot her duty as a Defence lawyer here, her duty is as an Officer of Justice, you may defend your client, but ultimately, you must defend Justice mostly, you must defend 'The Experience' most of all. If this girl is dumb enough to indict herself as an accessory to murder, then that is Justice, and that is 'The Experience' being maximised, and therefore, that is what we all want achieved, we all win (except the murderers) if that happens. That is why a Defence Lawyer has to understand they are not a Defence Lawyer, they are an Officer of Justice who specialises in Defence, because that understanding will help them in these once in a career times where an experienced Judge is putting his career on the line for possible disbarment, complete removal of pension and status, he's putting all that on the line to get a murderer and their accomplice off the streets in order to maximise Justice and 'The Experience' but fresh out of law school Alicia just doesn't "get it" because she's been a 'moom' for the past decade and so doesn't understand that 'winning' would be for the equity of Justice to be maximised, and just because 'she' loses the case, if "Justice" wins, then ultimately , she wins, EVERYONE wins, and we all go home safer in more peace and good order than we did the previous day. What a shame. All that needed to change was her being called, "A Judicial Officer" instead of "a lawyer" for her to 'get it'. **They have indicted themselves by pleading the 5th - insofar as they have indicted themselves in the eyes of the detectives - not in the eyes of 'the Law'. That is the brilliance of the 5th amendment that no one seems to understand where I'm from, the place with all the best systems in the world, Australia {because of gross abundance + Digger mentality}. We have all the best systems here, just not optimised. The 5th amendment is the most intelligent evolution to the Common Law Justice System ever proposed it's literal brilliance. Here in Australia and in the U.K, we just have tyrant crims in the witness box and they'll just stop talking when asked a question that'll indict them. Over in the US, you got tyrant crims who are asked, "Did you kill Mrs White" and then they're dumb enough to answer underneath the stress and the lights "I plead the 5th". Ohh well hard case now, not. Now instead of scarce police resources chasing 3-4 leads you maximise all resources towards the that person who literally just may as well admitted to the murder, except, now you just have to find dna/evidence/proof that they did it. If you're chasing 4 leads and they're equal frequencies each, then you have to delegate 25% of the resources to each of the suspects/leads, that's 25% of the dna swobs, 25% of the whole thing. Would you rather 25% of 100% or 100% of 100% of resources being put towards catching a murderer?

With a new judge.

SELECTIVE ASSERTION of the Fifth Amendment? I did not see this television show, so I do not know whose witness this young lady is or how extensively she had testified before this assertion of her Fifth Amendment rights. I am a lawyer and worked as a litigator as a younger man. There is a situation in which the judge would be correct in compelling her to testify-SELECTIVE ASSERTION of the right to remain silent. If this woman was called on direct in the defense case by Ms. Florek and testified extensively that she was innocent and had nothing to do with the crime, yet then asserted her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent only when direct testimony defense counsel (Florek) anticipated cross-examination and asked the line of questions most likely to discredit and impeach her, the judge would be fully correct in disallowing SELECTIVE ASSERTION of the Fifth Amendment. Every criminal defendant faces a dilemma: whether to testify in his or her own behalf but also face withering cross-examination by the prosecutor. Juries are not supposed to infer guilt when a defendant does not take the stand (and may be expressly instructed by the judge not to make that inference), but we all know that juries wonder why someone accused of a crime will not take the stand to deny it under oath. If defendants were allowed to selectively testify to their innocence, then take the Fifth Amendment about cross-examination type issues (even if anticipatorily posed on direct by their defense counsel), the prosecution would be denied the people’s right to show the defendant was lying or not credible. In the that instance, the judge would be fully within his authority to determine whether the defense was attempting to get away with SELECTIVE ASSERTION of the Fifth Amendment. If the judge determines there has been SELECTIVE ASSERTION, he can 1) compel the defendant to testify under threat of criminal contempt; 2) strike all of the defendant’s earlier denials; and/or 3) instruct the jury that defendant’s continued refusal to answer must be construed as an admission that her answers would have been very damaging to her defense. If the judge finds that defense counsel did this intentionally, it would be the defense lawyer that would be facing disciplinary proceedings.
