Winter's Reason

Description

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE LAW AND JUSTICE? Criminal defense attorney Talon Winter agrees to represent an 18-year-old man charged with a murder he didn't commit. But under the strict letter of the law, he can still be held responsible for the actions of the person who actually pulled the trigger. The problem is, the trigger-puller is a cop. The bigger problem is, so was the victim. A high profile case with a dead police officer leads the prosecutor's office to pursue a complicated legal theory to secure a murder conviction for a possible robbery gone horribly wrong. Talon appeals to the prosecutor's sense of justice, but is rebuffed by the harshest possible interpretation of the murder statute--and the prospect of a mandatory life sentence. Talon will battle against public outrage, an intractable prosecutor, and 'the felony murder rule' to seek a just result for a young man facing the rest of his life in prison for the acts of another person.
