Chapter Nineteen

Plot:

An unlikely person engages Mitch to defend a friend charged with murder; Mitch meets with the defendant, and nothing he tells him proves true except perhaps that he was framed. Mitch moves to have the key evidence dismissed on the grounds of an unlawful search. In Kentucky, Abbie is still fencing with her mother and flirting with Ben Wilson, a psychologist; she also investigates why her mother's charity is losing money. Abbie contrasts Ben with Mitch, her mother makes a confession, and Mitch may find in a dumpster the path toward reasonable doubt.
