Alex and Ronnie are "brothers" in every sense of the word, but they do not have the same parents. Each of them would do anything for the other. When Alex is accused of shooting a cop, he gets Shelly Trotter to defend him. Part way through preparing her defense Shelly figures out she is Alex's mother. She had given her child up for adoption 17 years before. The case becomes more complicated when Shelly cannot convince Alex to tell her what really happened. This is a great thriller with a stunner for an ending. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In Jury of One, Shelly Trotter, an able and determined lawyer and a children's rights advocate, is thrust into a world in which she's completely unschooled -- the criminal court. Her client is a seventeen-year-old accused of killing a policeman, and she begins to suspect that he may have been involved in an undercover operation to entrap dirty cops, though his role in the scheme remains unclear. Was he the target or the bait--and what does the prosecution really have against him? Then comes the shocker: Shelly fears that she has a connection to this boy, something she has kept secret for years, knowledge that she has hidden from her family and friends for most of her adult life. And as the evidence against the boy mounts, she finds that nothing--not legal ethics, not a statewide political campaign that could swing in the balance--will stop her from keeping him off death row. For with this client, she is truly a jury of one. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

All in all it's quite a riveting mystery of who is responsible for the actual shooting, and what the circumstances were that led to the shooting.
By the end of the story all the questions, leads & false leads are resolved and wrapped up nicely. ( )
