What is the name of the legal document Jimmy McGill forges to help Huell Babineaux?

The story behind the answer

Jimmy McGill forges letters of support to help Huell Babineaux in Better Call Saul.

In season four, Huell faces a serious criminal case after assaulting a police officer with a bag of sandwiches. Kim Wexler believes that personal statements from people in Huell’s home community could influence the court’s view of him. Jimmy responds by creating a campaign to collect letters of support from residents of Coushatta, Louisiana, Huell’s hometown.

Jimmy and Kim stage the campaign so that the letters appear to come from genuine community members. Jimmy recruits people to pose as relatives, friends, and neighbors, then coordinates the mailing of the material to Kim. The plan helps persuade the prosecutor to offer Huell a favorable resolution.

The episode “Coushatta” centers on this scheme. The letters are not court affidavits or a formal petition; they are personal letters intended to shape Huell’s character assessment.
