“I cannot describe the pain of that night,” Khalil said finally, gazing down as the baby, Deen, cooed in his arms. “This is something I will never forgive.”

      That is the last type of lawyer you want for this case. You want a firm filled with experienced jaded amoral sociopaths that just want to get the win.
