As a teen, prosecutor Ben Santos fathered a daughter out of
wedlock. Hell-bent on a career in law, he lost contact with her. A
dozen years later, his failure to embrace fatherhood is his one
abiding regret.
Blood money claims the life of a pregnant woman. A jail snitch
badgers her husband into implicating himself. Conviction seems a
safe bet until the criminal lawyers go to work, bending the rules
of evidence so as to profit from the husband's cellblock
confidences.
Santos is initially gun-shy about handling the case. His one
previous murder trial ended in a hung jury. The rapist-killer,
released on bail pending retrial, claimed the life of another
victim.
At trial, Santos parries the aggressive ploys of Vietnam
Veteran-defense attorney Francisco Duran. Even so, Duran backs him
into a corner. At the eleventh hour, Santos devises a strategy
worthy of Solomon. Duran counters with a cynical plea-bargain
proposal. Momentum turning, Santos insists on submitting the case
to the jurors despite risk of another hung jury.
On the home front, Santos and his teacher wife are working on a
baby of their own. As trial nears its climax, Santos rushes Carmel
to Delivery.
