The Big Trial

When a hit-and-run driver leaves a woman critically injured, Sergeant Joe Friday and Ben Romero take on an exhaustive search through over 4,000 cars to track him down. Their investigation uncovers damning evidence—but when the trial begins, the key witness vanishes. Will justice prevail, or will the case collapse under the weight of corruption?
