The ALCU had the biggest impact on the Loving’s case. In Loving, Mildred tells a person on the phone that she would like help with her case but they can’t afford a lawyer. The ALCU help turn a one shotter v a repeat player case into essentially a repeat player vs a repeat player case. In a one shotter v repeat player case, the chances of success are slim to none because either their claim is too large and they don 't have enough resource or the claim is to small to be manage routinely and rationally.

Repeat players also develop informal relationships with judges, hearing examiner and court clerks, which established a type of power elite advantage. “The credibility and legitimacy that flows from repeated contact may help to sustain a repeat player’s claims” (Grossman, 13 ). However the involvement of the ALCU helped turn the small case to two small country people just wanting to return to Virginia into a huge case that changed the constitution and helped many others in the same

    Asia’s letters had also said that her boyfriend and his best friend had seen Adnan in the library after school between 2:15-2:40 pm. Ms. Guiterrez had certainly made a huge mistake of not contacting Asia because Asia would have been able to provide her part of the story to prove Adnan’s innocence and also have two other witnesses to support her story to be valid. The defense attorney had made a terrible error with the case because the result of the trial could have ended differently if she would have contacted Asia McClain. Another example of Ms. Guiterrez’s deficient work was because she was sick and greedy for money. Ms. Guiterrez had many records of her demanding money from clients to supposedly use for judge experts in the case, but she kept the money to herself for her personal use or to pay for her medical bill.
