Plot Overview

A mother's plea, plus the compassion that Petrocelli has for poor people, leads him to defend the eldest son of a family of traveling sharecroppers, who's accused of killing the owner of a local pharmacy. Lieutenant Ponce believes that the young man went into the pharmacy with no money and the intent to steal medicine for his sick father and got surprised, but Tony discovers two things: one was that the pharmacist was the only hold-out to a major conglomerate that wanted to buy all the businesses on his side of the street, the other a fudged prescription ledger that shows an unusual amount of cocaine and morphine being prescribed...to a man who's supposed to be dead!
