Illegal
7.0
“He was a guy who marked 100 men for death - until a blonde called 'Angel' O'Hara marked him for life!”
A hugely successful DA goes into private practice after sending a man to the chair -- only to find out later he was innocent. Now the drunken attorney only seems to represent criminals and low lifes.
