The Sisters

The Sisters is the seventh episode of the first season.

Summary

Tyler asks Ben to defend an acquaintance of his, Harold Scully, after Harold is accused of killing his wife. But Ben finds trouble with Harold's nieces, Julia and Emily, as he learns the hard way that appearances can be deceiving.

Victim: Esther Scully

Killer: Julia Monroe (with Emily Monroe as an accomplice)

Cause of Death: Bludgeoned with a candlestick.

Motive: Wanted to show that she was capable of committing the perfect murder.

The Final Clue: The newspaper wrapped around the murder weapon was dated the morning after the murder, which tipped Ben off that Harold could not be the killer, as he was arrested that same night and wouldn't have been able to hide it.
