In the first episode,season 1, he brilliantly suggests to the lawyers charged with preparing opposition to the anticipated wrongful death case against Borns that a cross-complaint be drafted suing plaintiff and her lawyer for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. As any California trial lawyer who has practiced more than 6 months knows, such a cross-claim would be immediately stricken as a SLAPP under California C.C.P. sec. 425.16. Among other things, the filing of a lawsuit is not an "abuse of process" and a malicious prosecution action can only be filed after there has been a favorable resolution for the defendant on the merits of the dispute.
