One would assume that an attorney would make wiser decisions. Even though Scott Baldwin (Kin Shriner) is well-versed in the American legal system, he doesn’t seem to have any common sense.
Obviously, Scotty Baldwin knows the law. His extensive knowledge and hands-on experience as an attorney makes him one of Port Charles’s best. Although he often practices unethically, Scott manages to work the system in his client’s favor. For example, his recent success in Cyrus Renault’s (Jeff Kober) early release from Pentonville showcases Baldwin’s law skills. Somehow he managed to get a judge to overturn a criminal sentence. As a result, a dangerous killer walks free around Port Charles.
Apparently, Scott’s common sense isn’t as sharp as his ability to work the system. He might make slick moves in the courtroom but falls short when it comes to the streets. General Hospital rumors hint that Scott makes himself a target.
