DESCRIPTION:
On the surface, the court-appointed case that lands on young Dean Abernathy's desk is a biggie; he is slated to defend a homeless man accused of the felony murder of the popular black New York City Police commissioner during an early-morning mugging attempt. What he turns up changes a foregone conclusion into something very different. But at second look, the case promises to be a routine conviction. Before he can talk to his client about a plea bargain, however, he finds that the prosecutor has already offered one - which Joey refuses. The police have come up with an eyewitness, they have physical evidence, and Joey Spadafino has given the arresting officers a signed confession.
