Overview

Prosecutor Leander is known for his heavy-handed and unyielding pleadings, demanding draconian punishments, often even the death penalty, for every accused offender. One day, he will experience first-hand how complex some legal assessments can be. Love and passion, hatred and jealousy can drive even the most righteous people to actions they would never normally commit. Therefore, not everyone who commits a crime is necessarily a criminal.
