Roberts alleges that the girlfriend of David Golden, one of the men she has claimed sexually assaulted her, placed a pill in her mouth and told her it was Adderall. Instead, it was a drug that caused Roberts to black out.

I want him to get the most robust defense that he possibly can get. I know he will, in the hands of the public defender's office, said Jackson. There's very little in the law that's indefensible. I never approach a case like I'm just defending an individual. We're defending the Constitution. Jackson said his line of work, which has included clients such as Karen Read, Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, is defending an idea.

They don't drive it. They don't manage it. They don't control it. They let it control them.
