Chapter 11 Summary

Mick and Levin ride in the Lincoln together and go over Levin’s new information. He reveals that Roulet has no prior record, just a bunch of unpaid parking and speeding tickets. But he also notes that Roulet never actually attended law school, which upsets Mick. If Roulet is willing to lie about something like that, what else would he cover up? Levin tells Mick that he went to the bars Roulet claims he attended and found witnesses to corroborate his story.

Levin also managed to get a DVD recording from security cameras at the bar where Roulet and Reggie Campo met. Levin is sure that he is the first person to find out about this critical footage. The recording shows Reggie coming on to Roulet, just as he claimed. It also shows that her first date, Mr. X, is left handed. Mick thinks this footage, which shows that Reggie initiated contact and invited Roulet back to her apartment (in contradiction to her statement that she had never met him before) is so compelling that it might get the case thrown out altogether.

Levin also admits that he has been following Reggie over the last few nights, which could be a problem.
