History[]
Season 2[]
Annalise began representing Jill in the murder of her husband. She was struggling to build a case so went to detective Clay Irvin and A.D.A Hollis Feldman told them to drop the charges but Feldman brought up that Jill called Annalise for 1 minute 42 seconds before calling the police and speculated that Annalise coached her on how to fake the crime scene. He threatened to charge her with accessory after the fact. Annalise told Bonnie what happened and said that her reputation and phone logs were enough for her to actually be charged.
Later in the day Asher told Annalise that a reporter called him with questions about Tiffany Howard and he started going on about how he needed Annalise to fix the situation so that he could talk to his dad. 'The situation' being him deciding not to testify against her in order for a wiretap to be put on the house. He continued that his dad hated Annalise and could find a way to take her down. She zoned out and hatched a plan, calling Bonnie and Frank into the kitchen to instruct them to gather everything they could on William Millstone.
The next day Annalise met with Hollis Feldman and told him he would be dropping the charge against Jill on the grounds of self-defense. She also said he needed to ensure Emily Sinclair ended her 'witch-hunt' into her and her staff. She called it 'two birds, one Millstone'. She said he could use the file she gave him to charge William Millstone with multiple counts of corruption. Feldman took the deal and dropped the charges against Jill. Once Feldman went public with the information, William committed suicide and Asher thought Sinclair was responsible for the news coming out,
Season 6[]
The FBI showed proof to Asher that Annalise was behind the corruption allegations coming out against his dad. This was enough to convince him to act as an informant into the Keating 4, only he never got anything. When they found out he was informing against them he explained why he did it but they weren't very forthcoming.
