Public Defender in Action #7
This issue features two stories: the main story follows Public Defender Richard Manning as he investigates missing records in a case involving a man named Cameron, discovering that the district attorney has deliberately withheld evidence to build a case against an innocent defendant, leading Manning to pursue the truth to ensure justice. A secondary story, "Headline Harry: The Big Alarm," depicts a newspaper reporter who is fired by his editor for consistently missing scoops and subsequently becomes involved in chaotic situations, including a fire and a football field incident where he is repeatedly threatened with dismissal.
