Public Defender Carl — a grizzled veteran of the courtroom — takes us on a ride where family lies and a stick almost cost his client their life. Facing the possibility of a life sentence, Carl put decades of trial savvy on display, exposing contradictions and showing the jury that the story the state was selling just didn't add up.

By the end, the only thing sticking was the not guilty verdict.

Because when a lying family tries to frame your client, you need a defender who's been around the block and knows exactly how to knock their story down.
