Early in the morning in a urban garden, an old man discovered a dead body on the ground, killed by a blunt object. He was a lawyer who used to work late, his briefcase was missing. One of his client is a criminal in a death row with, as you can suppose, a bad attitude, but he had no motive in set up the murder. But the family of the woman murdered by the inmate had a strong one, as well as the real murderer (a burglar). There were issues in the murder investigations four years before without a fair trail. Carmaichael had to come back to square one. Thanks to a bartender and to a former junkie, proofs led prosecutors to a judge (Richard Masur), who was a prosecutor back then.
