S06E22 Final Appeal (2)

Title: Final Appeal (2) Plot: In the year 2076, Dr. Theresa Givens, a time traveler from the 20th century, faces execution for breaching strict anti-technology regulations established after a devastating nuclear disaster two decades earlier. This catastrophe forced the remnants of humanity to revert to a pre-Industrial lifestyle. Theresa’s fate hinges on a final appeal led by her attorney, Nicole Whitely, who has secured a hearing with the Supreme Court, overseen by Chief Justice Haden Wainwright. The court's split between conservative supporters of the ban and liberal advocates for a reassessment adds tension, especially with Solicitor General Wallace Gannon passionately defending the law. In an unprecedented move, the court permits Theresa to address her defense alongside her lawyer.
