connie rubirosa
rubirosa is a strong advocate of women's rights. in one episode, she says she disagrees with the politics of a conservative author who made, "ann coulter look like mary poppins". in another, however, she refuses to give credit to a female defense attorney's unjustified feminist trial strategy. during one case, rubirosa learns damaging information about a murdered abortion doctor's murder of a newborn, albeit at the clear informed permission of the mother of a baby with birth defects severe enough to guarantee death in hours. although her superiors order her to delay reporting it to the medical board as irrelevant evidence of a deceased doctor until after the trial, rubirosa is so moved by the testimony, and concerned by the apparent breach of professional ethics of not immediately informing the defense of the facts, that she defied her instructions. although rubirosa requests a transfer to the white-collar crime section for this moral conflict, mccoy, deciding that the moral complexities involved in the case and the larger issues needed more flexibility from everyone, orders cutter and her to resolve their differences.
