Plot Overview
A friend of Conlon's who's visiting from New York is robbed and brutally murdered. The suspect who actually did the murder happens to be borderline retarded, a card the defense is more than willing to play, but Jimmy is certain that the young man is still deserving of the death penalty. Complicating the case: the dead man's son, a law school classmate and former colleague of Conlon's, who's trying to insinuate himself into the prosecution's case by doing things like drafting briefs. Eventually, the son succeeds in getting Annabeth removed from the case, and it's up to Jimmy whether an easily manipulated young man lives or dies.
