'Bosch' Harry asks witness about civil case against LAPD

Dreams of Bunker Hill.” (Season 4. Episode 2). Bosch had looked at the crime scene again and found the iPhone of Howard Elias. He then goes into Howard’s apartment which is located near the trolley where he was gunned down. The civil attorney always stayed inside this apartment right before a court trial begins. Honey Chandler has taken over the civil case from Howard. She has gone up against Bosch before in court. They hate each other.

Bosch and Honey speak to the main witness that Howard had against the LAPD. This witness claims that he was tortured and was forced to admit where a kidnapped girl was. She was killed and Howard believed his witness was framed by four LAPD. It is discovered later that Howard’s apartment is cleaned up to hide evidence Bosch had already seen. (I love this TV show).
