The evidence against his client seems overwhelming. Then Jack gets a break that could turn the case. Jamal's murder bears disturbing similarities to another lynching that occurred back in the Jim Crow days of 1944. Are the chilling parallels purely coincidental? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith each twist and turn, Jack is convinced that his client may be the victim of something even more sinister than the case presented by the state attorney.
