Title: Habeas Corpus - Marianne Wesson - book
Summary :
Cinda Hayes, assistant district attorney in Boulder, Colorado, is leaving her position. The prosecution no longer motivates her, and her faith in justice is wavering. She prefers to run the Rape Crisis Center. A year later, a phone call turns her life upside down. She is forced to take on a very delicate case: to represent, as a last resort, Jason Smiley, sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his friend. Defending the interests of a convicted felon revolts Cinda. But her aversion to the death penalty wins out. Very quickly, she will have to face multiple pressures. What secrets is Jason Smiley hiding? And why is everyone trying to prevent him from discovering them?
