Murray Stone , dedicated Los Angeles public defender, has a tough assignment: the defence of a helpless but innocent hippie accused of involvement in a grotesque ritualistic murder. In his search for justice, Stone must use every legal means to make his case around and through other lawyers, judges-and the law itself.
This powerful drama takes a tough, hard look at the inner workings of the judicial system of a big American city.
Screenplay by JOEL OLIANSKY Producer WILLIAM SACKHEIM Director JOHN BADHAM
