When off-duty officers turn a botched investigation into a full-blown "cover your ass" operation, an innocent man suddenly finds himself facing life in prison for attempted murder.

Enter Stanford Fraser, a sharp, fearless public defender from Prince George's County, Maryland, who refuses to let bad police work and lazy assumptions destroy a client's future. From the jump, Stanford digs into the cracks in the state's case, exposing contradictions, sloppy testimony, and the real motive behind the prosecution's push: protecting cops instead of pursuing justice.

With trial barreling forward, Stanford keeps his client calm, steady, and focused—even as the weight of life imprisonment looms. Then comes the turning point: right before closing arguments, Stanford finds the moment to blow the case wide open. The "truth" the police tried to sell collapses under scrutiny. Jurors see the lies for what they are, and the not-guilty verdict rings out like a hammer of justice.

This is public defense at its boldest. It's not just about one man's freedom—it's about exposing how institutions bend reality to cover their own mistakes, and how only a relentless defender standing tall in court can stop the injustice.

Told with wit, grit, and a courtroom edge, this episode proves once again that when defenders fight, freedom wins.
