Ep 3. Innocent Man

Harry's Law is a legal drama show starring Kathy Bates as Harriet "Harry" Korn, a former patent lawyer who becomes disillusioned with her career and decides to open her own law firm in an abandoned shoe store in a rundown neighborhood in Cincinnati.

In season 1 episode 3, titled "Innocent Man," Harry and her team take on the case of a young man named Tucker Price who is wrongly accused of a brutal murder. Tucker is a troubled teen who has a history of drug addiction and petty crimes, but he swears that he did not commit the crime he's being accused of.

Harry and her team investigate the case and find several inconsistencies and contradictory pieces of evidence that suggest that Tucker is innocent. However, the prosecutor, Will Osgood, is determined to win the case and has a strong case against Tucker.

Complicating matters is the fact that Harry's nemesis and former law partner, Tommy Jefferson, is defending the real suspect in the case, a wealthy businessman named Roger Dunbar who has a history of violence and who has the means and motive to commit the murder.

As the trial progresses, Harry and her team must navigate a complex web of lies, deceit, and corruption as they fight to prove Tucker's innocence and uncover the truth behind the murder.

Along the way, they face numerous challenges, including a hostile judge, a biased jury, and a media frenzy that threatens to derail their case. They also grapple with their own personal demons, including Harry's struggles with alcoholism and her strained relationship with her son.

Despite these obstacles, Harry and her team persevere and mount a compelling defense that exposes the flaws in the prosecution's case and casts doubt on Dunbar's guilt. In the end, justice is served, and Tucker is exonerated, but not before the team must confront some hard truths about the justice system and their own roles in it.

Overall, "Innocent Man" is a thrilling and thought-provoking episode that showcases the show's strengths in delivering complex and nuanced legal drama that explores important social and ethical issues. With strong performances from the cast and sharp writing that balances drama and humor, Harry's Law continues to be a standout in the crowded legal drama genre.
