Description:
I never lost a case I should have won, and I won nearly all the cases I should have lost". Defense attorney Joseph Antonelli is a stranger to defeat. There doesn't seem to be a case -- no matter how implausible -- that is beyond him. Until the phone rings one crisp April morning and Judge Rifkin asks Antonelli to defend Johnny Morel, a con man and convicted drug dealer accused of raping his twelve-year-old stepdaughter, Michelle.
Expand description
The prosecutor's case is riddled with inconsistencies, and Michelle's history of sexual abuse could be the perfect straw man for the defense. Antonelli never confused the legal system with justice, so it should have been routine to defend a man he knew was guilty. And it should have ended there. No one suspected it would end in murder.
