Los Angeles Times story

Minutes after Bosch wins his case in court, he confronts his lawyer Mickey Haller, saying that Haller had been the source of the leak about the case to the Los Angeles Times. Bosch is conflicted, because the story at once put his public reputation at risk but also was instrumentally helpful in clearing his name in court, where it truly mattered. This moment represents how, even though Bosch is a man of high integrity, and does not wish to make moral compromises, the seedy characters around him effectively force him (or, at least, his representation, Haller) to make difficult moral compromises.
