When law professor Annalise Keating (Viola Davis) named her Middleton University course How to Get Away With Murder, she didn’t expect her own students to take violent turns.

Played by Billy Brown, this Philadelphia detective broke the law on multiple occasions—and also broke his marriage vows, sleeping with Annalise even as his wife was dying of cancer.

And when he realized that the man responsible was actually Xavier Castillo (Gerardo Celasco), he snapped that man's neck.
Annalise's star students learned firsthand how to get away with murder — at least for a while — by covering up the murder of Annalise's husband (more on him later) at the hands of Wes Gibbins (Alfred Enoch) and Michaela Pratt (Aja Naomi King).
