In Chapter 10, Lucien advises Jake he should first request a change of venue so that he stands a chance of obtaining a black jury member for a possible hung jury that will result in a mistrial. Further, if the change is denied and there is a guilty verdict, Jake will have grounds for an appeal. Another option includes an insanity plea, which may yield a more sympathetic jury.
