Showing results for "Gone" in Law

In January 1982, an elderly white widow was found brutally murdered in the small town of Greenwood, South Carolina. Police immediately arrested Edward Lee Elmore, a semiliterate, mentally retarded black man with no previous felony record. His only connection to the victim was having cleaned her gutters and windows, but barely ninety days after the victim’s body was found, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore had been on death row for eleven years when a young attorney named Diana Holt first learned of his case.

Beleaguered attorney and disciplinary counsel, Dean Alessi, and his trusty investigator, Stu Foley, fight lawyers who commit ethical and criminal wrongs. They are investigating the case of the local district attorney who may have committed murder. More than a crime story, this tale concerns friendship, loss, unrequited love, and ultimately, justice. It seeks to answer the question: Does what goes around, come around?
