![]() After learning of the suicide of the man she and Krasny had wrongly prosecuted, Teddy joins Forrester’s defence. But at its heart, Jagged Edge is an old-fashion noir, and Teddy the burnt out fall guy with a stain on her soul. Initially, Teddy refuses to take part in the case. Now working in non-criminal cases in Forrester’s law firm, Forrester wants her as his defence attorney because a) he does not want to be surrounded by a group of high priced lawyers, b) she is a woman and c) she knows how Krasny works. This lawyer is Teddy Barnes (Glenn Close), a former assistant prosecutor who previously worked with Krasny and feels tarnished by a previous case in which an innocent man, Henry Styles, was wrongly convicted and later committed suicide. Forrester is in dire need of a strong legal defence, and his company lawyers believe they have a suitable candidate to represent him against the relentless DA. In an interview with the cleaner at the tennis club Forrester frequents, the cleaner recalls finding a hunting knife in Forrester’s locker before the murders took place. It is not long before Krasny’s investigators find something potentially incriminating. For Krasny, this is too good an opportunity to pass up - a sensational, high profile murder to close his legal career, and the public skewering of a major obstacle to his senatorial campaign. Owing to his tactics and reputation, Krasny has been the longtime target of attack in the editorials of Forrester’s newspapers. A man with dubious methods and aspirations for higher office, Krasny has a personal grudge with Forrester. From the moment he is introduced, it is clear that Krasny is not someone you want to cross. ![]() In 2006, the group released their last album to date, the self titled Jagged Edge.Things do not look good for Forrester, especially when predatory DA Thomas Krasny (Peter Coyote) starts to circle the case. ![]() During the same year, Dupri and So So Def left for Arista Records but Jagged Edge stayed with Columbia.
