The Trial

What does a Latter-day Saint lawyer do when he is appointed to defend a criminal he knows is guilty of murder? John Lindsey, a young attorney and Mormon bishop, finds himself appointed by the court to do just that. During the preparation for the trial, he discovers to his horror that his defense may result in acquittal. As a lawyer, John is bound by his oath to the state to maintain secrecy, to guarantee a fair trial, and to safeguard the law; yet keeping that oath could lead to the murderer's release. Should he abandon the case? Only if he's willing to suffer the state's disciplinary action. Maybe that would be easier to face than the growing anger of the community. Or the disappointment and disbelief of his own family.
