Trial against Oliver Queen
Sam Armand is Starling City's district attourney, taking over the role from Adrian Chase. However, he is corrupt and in the pocket of crime lord Ricardo Diaz. After Oliver Queen has seemingly been revealed to be the Green Arrow, Armand is leading the case against Oliver, representing the city.

After Cayden James has been killed, it seems that the case against Oliver is falling apart. To prevent this, Armand visits police captain Kimberly Hill, who is on Diaz' payroll as well, and asks for the full support of the SCPD as he has an idea how to take down Oliver in court. Hearing of his proposal, Hill grants her assistance and tells Armand that she can see why Diaz likes him so much.

In a closed hearing between Armand, Judge McGarvey and Oliver's attourney, the attourney demands that Oliver's trial is ended because Armand's sole witness has been blackmailed with information obtained by Cayden James, a known criminal. However, Armand reveals that Rene Ramirez is not his only witness and that a new witness with enemies on both sides of the law has come up - Roy Harper, who is the Green Arrow's former sidekick. However, in truth Armand has used Hill's corrupt policemen to kidnap Roy and hold him captive for his forced testimony.
