Description
THE GREATER OF TWO EVILS
A woman kills her boyfriend, shooting him six times in the back as he walks out their front door. The woman's attorney calls her a hero. Homicide prosecutor David Brunelle calls her a murderer.
The legal doctrine of necessity excuses a crime, even murder, if the harm inflicted is less than the harm prevented, so long as there was no alternative. The killer tells the cops that her boyfriend had a psychotic break and was on his way to shoot up the neighborhood elementary school, intent on slaughtering countless innocents. Brunelle is certain she's lying, but how can he prove it when the only other witness to what truly happened is dead?
It's a race against time as Brunelle battles challenges both personal and professional to find the evidence he needs to refute the killer's story and prove his case, before the jury finds the killer 'Not Guilty' because of the legal defense of NECESSITY.
