Ramsay enlists the help of a young lawyer Janelle, who is determined to find out the truth about what happened. Mike was mostly quiet during the trial, which makes Defense attorney Richard Ramsay's job harder. To make things even more difficult, all the witnesses in the murder case lie about the abusive father, including Mike. Mike claims that his mother was abused by his father. But even so, defense attorney Richard somehow manages to convince the jurys to find Mike innocent. In the end, it is reveled that Richard is the killer after having an affair with Mike's mother.
