While waiting for his case to come up, Nick sees a lady who should have got a six month probation for killing a jogger with her car (as a deal worked out between her lawyer and the DA's office) but the judge gives her six months jail time instead, leaving her daughter to possibly end up in foster care. He feels this is unjust and takes on the case where he succeeds in getting the case relooked at, but the DA's office (who hates Nick) decides to go for vehicular manslaughter and four years jail to prove a point. They feel they have got her because they believe she was on a mobile phone at the time of the accident. How Nick gets to the bottom of this case and the facts is brilliant (an iPhone app even helps his case!).
There is a second story where Pete is helping a man who 'borrowed' $10,000 from his boss' safe to place a bet on a horse race, so he could pay his mortgage. He wins but when he tries to replace the money, his boss has already discovered the theft and has called in the police! How can Pete get the money back and get the case dropped and the guy out of jail and keep his house? A fun episode. Why the hell did this get axed again??
