It’s Attorney Mike Stevens’ first case of this kind and he struggles to mount a compelling defense. Eric takes the stand as both sides pepper him with questions. The defense case quickly goes downhill under the experienced cross-examination of the state’s prosecutors and holes are punched into Eric’s alibi. Closing arguments get cross as Attorney Stevens breaks from courtroom etiquette and Judge Redmond fails to interject. Prosecuting attorney Arterburn draws an analogy to sew up the evidence for Eric’s guilt and the case goes to the jury. On the second day of deliberation, the jury returns with a verdict.
