Synopsis
Do criteria exist for the death penalty? Mito Yusuke, a law faculty lecturer who did not become a lawyer even though he passed the bar exam, the famous lawyer Otomo Kojiro who advocates the abolition of the death penalty, and the public prosecutor Nagase Mariko studied law together. Each have their own thoughts about the death penalty. One day, Otomo’s wife is murdered by someone. Sabae Shinzo who is resentful of a lawsuit that Otomo had been in charge of, is arrested as a suspect. Otomo reverses the stance he had had until now and seeks the death penalty against Sabae. This prompts Mito to make the decision to become a lawyer and stand in the court. However, the first case Mito takes charge of is the defence of Sabae, who murdered the wife of his good friend, Otomo... --Jdrama Weblog
