Biography[]
Season 1[]
 Annalise is able to discredit the witness. ("Pilot") |
On the first day in court, Linda Tanner took the stand. She explained that she was Arthur's first assistant for 21 years, so seeing him lying on the floor when she found him was horrible. She described that he wasn't breathing and his skin kept getting more and more blue. Linda apologised to Agnes, who was sitting at the prosecution desk with her almost vegetative husband. The prosecutor, Henry Williams, assured Linda that she did everything she could. Meanwhile, as Michaela rushed to the courthouse, Annalise began her cross. She pointed out that Linda didn't like Gina, and after getting a file from Bonnie, she listed off all the things Linda had called her. Linda tried to shrug them off as lies, but before she can finish, Michaela rushed into the courtroom and whispered something to Frank.
The entire room went silent and Annalise asked the judge, Kathy Powell, for a moment. Michaela then whispered something to her too. With fresh information, Annalise asked Linda to confirm if she saw a pill on Gina's desk the day of the accident. Linda confirmed this, so Annalise asked her to confirm it was a yellow pill like the colour of prosecutor Williams' shirt. Linda confirmed that it was, shocking the room, as his shirt was blue. Annalise asked if Linda was colour blind. She bitterly confirmed that she was. Linda insisted that she knew what she saw and that Gina was acting nervous, however Annalise simply asked if it was possible the medication she saw on Gina's desk was her anxiety medication and Linda said yes.
