“She's a lawyer who broke two laws of her profession... Never get involved with a juror and don't look for clues in dangerous places.”

Overview

When a Supreme Court judge commits suicide and his secretary is found murdered, all fingers point to Carl Anderson, a homeless veteran who's deaf and mute. But when public defender Kathleen Riley is assigned to his case, she begins to believe that Anderson may actually be innocent.
