Ethically speaking, it didn’t take very long for “How to Get Away with Murder” to go right on off the rails and over the bridge into the water. We learn that Keating is discussing a real, active case. A case in which she is representing the defendant who is accused of murder. Not only is she discussing her client’s case, she is giving out confidential information about that case to an entire room of people. One of the most basic rules for lawyers is that our clients are protected by attorney/client confidentiality. Without the client’s permission, a lawyer may not share information about a case. Nor may the lawyer ever share anything that could harm the case. At one point, Keating gives away her entire plan to the classroom.
The first year of law school is very much about shaking out the people who can’t cut it. The attitude of disdain, calling on people and roughing them up, that is exactly what my first day of school was like. Check out this scene from the 1973 movie “The Paper Chase.”. It will remind you very much of the beginning of “How to Get Away with Murder.”.

Do not kill out of anger, greed, or revenge, to cover another crime, or for sexual gratification. Do it just for the pure pleasure of doing so, for the unadulterated satisfaction of whacking some unsuspecting SOB just for the hell of it. When the who or how are not immediately obvious, the cops will look for the why.
Kill some random person, but please choose someone who at least deserves it. Make sure you have absolutely no connection to the person you off; this is non-negotiable. No friends, neighbors, relatives, ex-boyfriends, or even someone who recently flipped you the bird while cutting you off in traffic.
For the love of Pete, DO NOT leave your DNA all over the place. No drooling, spitting, or bleeding, and do not relieve yourself of your semi-precious bodily fluids. Sometimes killing people can take longer than you expect, so, much like planning travel, take care of these matters before you leave the house.
Pick up your shell casings, or better yet, use a revolver. Remember, when you care enough to send the very best, avoid calibers smaller than a .38. If using a knife, hatchet, or spear, do not leave your weapon protruding from your victim’s forehead, chest, or anal cavity. Nobody likes a show-off.
It’s never a good idea to solicit advice on what to do with dead guys in your bathtub. That’s what Google is for.
You can never explain having photographs of dead people. Unless, of course, you’re a cop.
This is meant as humor. Sick, twisted, dark, cop humor, designed for nothing other than a laugh. I assume that those who read my blog are not the type to contemplate murder.
