The prosecutor, Steele, said Jakes son Dave was seen in the study and that fingerprints, hair, fibers and an eye witness would convict. Dave phoned Charlie Carne from jail. Theyd been law school roommates. But Charlie was Jakes second chair. Hed never tried a Florida capital case. Dunstan Dundee had. But he was mesmerized by Jakes financial assistant and ex-lover, didnt like ballistics, and didnt believe Daves alibi. Charlie would have to prove the cartridge cases didnt fit from second chair.
