An Absence of Ethics

Rosa Norway moved upward through the ranks of legions of attorneys practicing in Nashville becoming one of the premier criminal attorneys in the city. But, she crossed the line and suddenly found herself on the cusp of losing everything she had worked so hard to achieve. When she agreed to represent Jake McKay?s pending case of manslaughter, Rosa encountered a disastrous turn of events, including a real possibility she could lose her right to practice law and potentially her own freedom. While she contended with a mixture of ethical and personal issues, she continued to struggle not only with a client who insisted he was not guilty of the gruesome crime with which he was charged, but also with his overbearing, controlling friend, whom she both loathed and feared. Rosa had one person she felt she could trust. Unfortunately, he was the cop that was investigating those yet publically undisclosed issues, most of which directly involved her. Each move she made seemed to only drag her deeper into a swirl of ethical and legal violations that also seemed to adversely affect every one close to her. Will a life time of doing the right thing override an error in judgment, or will Rosa Norway lose everything she has worked so hard to achieve?
