Never lose a case? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I am a fan of Boston Legal, but it seems like things are getting a little ridiculous this season. Won't they have to lose a case to make it seem realistic? I mean, come on! Betty White's pal got off twice for murder, then she got off for murder, Denny got off for shooting a client, and another got off for cutting off a priest's fingers. They always win with a good argument and that is what makes it interesting. But aren't they going a little far? I read an article that said they couldn't believe this was a spin-off of "The Practice."

I like this show, it's really entertaining. In the beginning I thought oh no, another law show. I'm glad I gave it a chance. The only episode that pissed me off was how they successfully defended a rich brat that hit and killed someone. They tore that poor old lady to shreds on the stand, made it look like she didn't see the accident. As far as losing cases, Perry Mason only lost one case the whole time he was on the air.
