Biography[]
Season 4[]
In the hearing for Annalise's class action certification, the A.G started by filing a motion for the immediate dismissal of the case. Judge Nanjani asked on what grounds so Chase said that Annalise only had 33 plantiffs of 40. Nanjani asked if this was true and Annalise said she had acquired 79 plantiffs following public support. Chase said he would need ample time to verify the identifies of the plantiffs and Annalise said delaying the hearing wouldn't be neccessary for that because he had more than enough help. Nanjani asked if there was any more challenges that would affect her decision, so Chase brought up that Annalise was an alcoholic. She then presented her urine tests to the court as proof that she was sober, so Chase submitted into evidence a photo taken just days prior showing Annalise holding a bottle of Scotch. She explained to the judge somebody placed the bottle on her car and she picked it up to throw it away. She then said that the A.G must of had somebody waiting out of view to photograph her holding the bottle. Chase called her paranoid and hysterical before the judge cut in.
Later, Annalise requested to call a witness to the stand and the A.G objected because he had no chance to prepare a cross. Nanjani decided in Annalise's favour. She called Darlene Thornton to the stand and asked her if she took the picture that was presented earlier. She said yes and then Annalise asked why she would do such a thing, so Darlene said it was because Annalise was helping convicted criminals.
Finally, Isaac Roa took the stand. He was asked if in his professional opinion Annalise was competent to represent a case of such a large scale. Isaac said that Annalise had a strong desire to see the case through, so Chase said it wasn't about her desire. Annalise objected and judge Nanjani sustained it. He then asked if taking on a case of such magnitute would increase the likelihood that Annalise relapsed and after a brief pause, Isaac said he had total confidence in Annalise. After a recess, judge Nanjani certified the class action.
