Do you consider her to be one of the villains on the show ?
I think she's really a complex character. I mean she really thought that Assemblyman's career could help the police do a better job in the future right ? If so, lots of innocent would be spared a lot a grief and bad guys would be put in jail more easily, right ?
Put yourself in her shoes : if you think that one person is the only one who could help saving hundreds of people in the future : would you cover the crime of one of his family member ? One innocent sacrified in order to save thousands ?
What do you think ?
