Defending Jacob- Post 2

After reading the passage where Logiudice is questioning Andy on the witness stand (about 60 pages in) , I found the whole scene and the pages preceding it incredibally ironic. Andy had spent so much time trying to find clues that would help identify the killer, only to have the evidence point towards Jacob. Additionally, Logiudice, the man who has only Andy to thank for his skills as a lawyer, is now pressing him for information to convict his own family. While it may a prosecutor's duty to prove the defendent guilty, Logiudice is treating Andy, his master, like an ordinary witness.
