A scene from “Balance of Power”

Price: This case all comes down to one thing. Control. Jonah Barlowe ceded it to the defendant in an act of intimacy, trusting her with access to his bank account in an attempt to satisfy a private desire within himself. And whether or not you can understand that desire, what is unquestionably clear is that the defendant took advantage of it and stole $25 million from him. And when he demanded she returned the money, she then tried to control him using shame. She threatened to out the details of his personal life. She did the same to one of her other clients, Derek Parker. But Jonah Barlowe refused to submit. And the defendant, in a desperate attempt to reclaim control of the situation, violently attacked and murdered him. And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's up to you. This case is now in your control.
