Biography[]
Early Life[]
 Arthur with his wife at court. ("Pilot") |
After 27 years of marriage with Agnes Kaufman, it was revealed that Arthur was having an affair with his assistant, Gina Sadowski. After Agnes found out about the affair, Gina was moved to the accounting department. Following this, both his wife and mistress worked together to kill Arthur by switching his pill which he takes every morning for an aspirin pill of which he is allergic to. After taking the pill, Arthur went into anaphylactic shock and his brain was deprived of oxygen for 7 minutes. Once he was resuscitated by his assistant, it was clear that he had permanent brain damage and subsequently required round the clock care. Following this, charges were brought against Gina Sadowski for attempted murder. After Gina got attorney Annalise Keating on her side, she managed to get Gina off due to lack of evidence. ("Pilot")
