Elena Enriques (Fairly Legal)

Elena Enriques was a villainess from "Ripple of Hope", episode 2.08 of Fairly Legal (airdate May 4, 2012). She was an accomplice of serial bank robber Carlos Ribeiro, and served as his getaway driver for a robbery that also resulted in Carlos' unnamed male accomplice shooting and killing civilian Caroline Rence. Carlos' 19-year-old girlfriend at the time, Lea Ferran, had used her credit card to rent the car used for the robbery, resulting in her being arrested under the belief that she was Carlos' accomplice, going to prison after Carlos falsely identified her as his accomplice.
The episode's events had Lea organizing a prison hunger strike in an attempt to negotiate better conditions for her and her fellow inmates, with her encounter with mediator Kate Reed leading the latter to begin investigating Lea's case when she firmly stated she was innocent. Kate's investigation led her to Dale Rence, the husband of Caroline Rence who had been to all of Lea's parole hearings, testifying to make sure she wasn't released. During their conversation, Dale revealed that he had been keeping track of Carlos Ribeiro, and showed Kate a Spanish newpaper article revealing that Carlos had been shot and killed in La Magdalena (a town outside Mexico City) along with Elena during another bank robbery.
Upon seeing Elena's photo, Kate came to realize another reason Lea was falsely arrested as Carlos' accomplice: she bore a resemblance to Lea. Dale also came to realize this, leading him to opt out of attending Lea's latest parole hearing. Despite Kate presenting the evidence to Lea's parole board, however, the board declined to re-evaluate Lea's case, resulting in Lea deciding to remain in prison rather than confess to a crime she didn't commit.
