Alice Sutton is the defense attorney of talk show host Richard Mason. She was fully aware of his endangerment of show guests that led to them getting killed or nearly killed, providing the consultation he needed in case he was in trouble. Sutton was completely shameless even once Mason was brought to trial and was ready to defend her client to the fullest extent.
Her attempts to shoot down witness testimony included reminded head of security Barry Talbott about getting fired from police over misconduct reports, discrediting Sid Fisher for shooting show guest Dr. Joseph Vinton for sexually assaulting his son Scotty and accusing Scotty of embellished testimony since he waited years to report Vinton.
Mason threw out his own credibility, as he opened the door for a rebuttal when he argued he never intended anyone to be in danger on his show. His former production manager Debby Courio shot down his account with a list of his specials that killed people or placed them under grave harm. Mason was convicted of criminal facilitation and imprisoned.
Sutton's status as a lawyer and in regard to her criminal liability are left unknown. (L&O: "Sweeps")
