Assumed Innocent

The president of the Orange Grove Homeowners Association is murdered and there are plenty of suspects - in fact everyone who lives in Orange Grove. Attorney Brent Marks thinks he is dealing with a routine foreclosure defense until his client is implicated in the murder and calls upon Brent to defend her. Brent is not normally a criminal defense attorney, but takes the case because he believes he is dealing with an innocent client. To make matters worse, another client's destiny is about to cross their path. Is Brent's client really innocent or guilty?
