Bull is a legal drama television series that follows the story of Dr. Jason Bull, the founder of a trial consulting firm called Trial Analysis Corporation. The show revolves around Bull and his team of experts, who use psychology, human intuition, and high-tech data analysis to understand the behavior and motivations of jurors, witnesses, and clients in order to win cases.
Season 1 episode 17 of Bull is titled "Name Game" and revolves around a case involving a young woman named Abby Whitman. Abby has been accused of murdering her boyfriend, a wealthy real estate developer named Eric Hansen. The prosecution alleges that Abby killed Eric in a jealous rage when she discovered that he was cheating on her.
Bull and his team take on Abby's case, and they realize that the prosecution has some compelling evidence against her. Abby's DNA was found on the murder weapon, and she had previously told a friend that she wanted to kill Eric. However, the team believes that there may be more to the case than meets the eye.
As they investigate further, Bull and his team discover that Eric was involved in some shady business dealings and had made a lot of enemies. They also learn that one of Eric's ex-girlfriends, a woman named Karen, bears a striking resemblance to Abby and may have been involved in the murder.
Meanwhile, Bull is dealing with some personal issues of his own. He is still recovering from his breakup with his ex-wife, and he is struggling to balance his work with his emotions. He seeks the advice of his friends and colleagues, but ultimately he must find a way to overcome his own doubts in order to help Abby.
As the trial gets underway, Bull and his team attempt to sow doubt in the minds of the jury. They argue that the evidence against Abby is circumstantial and that there are many possible explanations for Eric's murder. They also introduce some new evidence that casts doubt on the prosecution's case.
Throughout the trial, Bull must confront some difficult truths about himself and about the role he plays in the legal system. He comes to realize that his work can have a profound impact on people's lives and that he must always strive to do what is right, even if it means going against his own instincts.
In the end, the jury delivers its verdict, and Bull and his team must face the fallout. They are left to ponder the nature of justice, the complexities of human behavior, and the ultimate meaning of the name game.
