Benny Colón

Benny Colón is TAC's (Trial Analysis Corporation) in-house counsel. He used to work for the NYC prosecution until he was fired. He's now working the defense for Jason Bull, first as a consultant, since episode 2 also as their clients attorney. It's the first time in 2 years that he gets to try a case. During one of ATC's cases Benny meets his former flame, Amanda Toll, at court. She is a fellow attorney he hasn't seen since their breakup. Jason Bull is not just his employer but also his former brother-in-law as Jason was married to Benny's sister, Isabella, for 2 years. 9 years ago Benny litigated against Hayden Watkins whom he believed to be a serial killer, who killed three young women. Watkins was convicted of murder, thanks to the third victim's contact lense, who was found under Watkins's sofa, bearing a DNA who seemed to correspond to Watkins's, with 3 similar DNA markers out of 5. However, after 9 years, the DNA analysis techniques were far more advanced, and proved only 14 out of 50 markers were similar to Watkins's DNA. Benny feared Watkins might be innocent, and after the court of appeals reversed the judgment, the district attorney investigated against Benny, certain he put it here to incriminate Watkins. It was revealed at the end of the trial he didn't, and his name was cleared.
