OTR Dramas - Defense Attorney

Defense Attorney   -   The Thomas Richards Case

Velma Richards has sought out Martha Bryant because her husband, Richard, has was sentenced to prison for one to five years. And now, despite glowing recommendations from former employers and clergymen, he is having a problem with his probation officer.

His crime? Bouncing a $72.00 check.

Defense Attorney Bryant's righteous indignation goes into high gear as she pursues first the judge, then the probation officer, and finaly the governor -- all in an effort to get justice for the young Thomas.
