Resumen

Although he was the one to make the 911 call alerting the authorities to the situation, high profile businessman Devon Major is charged in the stabbing death of his ex-wife, Angela Major, the two who only recently got divorced. His story is that he received a telephone call from her to visit - he hoping that it was to reconcile - when he found her in her new home with a knife in the abdomen. Devon makes the surprise move of asking Angela's friend and divorce attorney Susan Grace, a former criminal lawyer, to defend him. His rationale is that he wants her to believe his story and as such when she tells the world of his innocence, it will truly absolve him in the eyes of the world without public skepticism. Although she still does see many of the reasons that Angela divorced him including that he uses his charm on women to do what he wants, Susan does believe him and does agree to defend him, largely to protect Angela's memory. District Attorney Kirsten Sorensen decides to try the case herself, she who is known to bend the rules to get her conviction. Susan believes Kirsten has decided to try the case if only because of their own personal animosity. As the two sides proceed with the case, a third party enters the scene that not only could disrupt the nature of the trial, but the trial in and of itself. But that intervention may also provide some insight into whether Devon is truly innocent or guilty, and the motive for the murder regardless of if it was Devon who stabbed Angela.—Huggo
