Chapter 8: The Accused

An ice pick stabbing. Gang rehabilitation. A young child trapped in the neighborhoods of the Rollin 60’s Crips. Pierre Romain finally takes the stand to explain the wounds on his arm, his history with LA gangs, and his language on the wiretaps. But will his stories draw enough sympathy from the jury to successfully defend his innocence and release him from any culpability in the killing of Jade Clark?
