Episode was based on a winning with technicality
We're not going to see eye to eye on this one and that's okay.
I will say that Picard outplayed the Sheliak on a legal technicality and Wesley's Crusher's Red Squad at the Academy we're going to be let of the hook with a reprimand due to a technicality until his guilt compelled him to confess.
It's not like parading Stacey Abrahams out like they did in Discovery. That is about as blatant as you can get.
Because of what's going on today in the "real world" it's easy to compare this episode to what's going on now but if this episode ran in the 60's during TOS or the 80's during TNG it would have been an instant classic.
Fewer Kilometers was correct in how Roddenberry would have liked this episode.

It was not just won on a legal technicality, but it was done based misrepresentation of facts already shown in series and the law read in an attempt to seem smart. It was a story of misrepresentation of facts and legal manipulation more than #1 and accepting the abuse her parents did to her. Not that it is difficult to upstage Rebecca, but the story was the lawyer getting a guilty client not just out of jail but back in starfleet as second in command of the enterprise (with an assist from some horrible judges).
Bringing up anything Wesley Crusher is fitting because Rebecca is about as poor of an actor as the one who played Wesley. The best Wesley crusher episode was him going away. I honestly wouldn’t have cared if #1 went away. I am actually starting to lose interest in series after first 2 episodes this season (whoever said 3rd season of Picard was a must watch has been correct with what I have watched so far).
Episode wasn’t bad, but to put it up there with classics is an offense to the classics. Regardless of intent or interpretation of some it effectively just served to close the storyline we saw in future of her being convicted and jailed. That’s not a classic but just a filler episode.
