- For Ben's closing argument, he knows he has to go big or go home.
- He starts out by citing the facts of the case: No one saw Gracie murder Lydia, and all the witnesses who testified are white.

- Ben encourages the jury to see through this maneuver and acquit Gracie since that's the only fair thing to do.
- Then he throws in a Bible verse just to seal the deal—if Carter wants to talk about big truths, two can play that game.
