Jury of one / David Ellis.
Political daughter and children's rights advocate Shelly Trotter has an agenda -- to keep kids in school. She does it one child at a time, using her skills as a lawyer to convince judges to give troubled youths a last chance to finish high school rather than serve time. Sometimes her clients disappoint her; more often, she finds, they respond to the opportunity. Of course, sometimes they just surprise the hell out of her. That's what happened with Alex Baniewicz, who picked a fight in school so he'd have the chance to meet her, then revealed to her that he's the son she gave up for adoption at the age of 16. As he shares more of his life with her, she learns he's already a father who deals drugs to support his daughter. When he's arrested for shooting a cop, Shelly is determined to help Alex, and not just for his sake. Too many things about the case don't add up. Was it self-defense? Was Alex framed? Was he really working as an informant for the FBI? And the questions don't stop there, because the case has also opened up new questions⁵about the man who raped Shelly and fathered her son. This time, Shelly's not giving up until she learns the truth⁵whatever the cost.
