We ask perhaps our most challenging question yet on WRQ: is it gay to be a straight, cis couple? (yes)

There's a prosecutor who was framed for murder, but still insists she did it, but don't get it confused with the last chapter, where there's a prosecutor who was framed for murder, but still insists he did it. They're different cases, I swear.

We follow Phoenix on his journey from rookie lawyer who is flopping around and gasping and dripping like a fish on dry land, to a marginally less rookie lawyer who still does all the flopping and sweating, but now the prosecutor is obsessed with him.
