#1 - Until Proven Innocent
Lee Mitchell is out for justice.
A young barrister from a working-class Caribbean background, everything is stacked against her in the cut-throat environment of the courtroom.
When the fifteen-year-old son of the pastor at the local Black church is shot near her home in South London, the community is shattered. All evidence is pointing to the notoriously corrupt, racist officer Sergeant Jack Lambert. Even his own boss is certain he is guilty - but he swears his innocence.
Against her will, Lee is strong-armed into defending him. With protests echoing in the streets, Lee is at the centre of the turmoil as lies, anger and mistrust spiral out of control. With the line between her personal and professional life blurring, Lee keeps asking herself the same question:
How can she defend the indefensible?
