Pearl Bryan, Part 7: The Price of Friendship

Send a message to Monica and Olivia! Just days after Scott Jackson is convicted of murdering Pearl Bryan, chaos erupts at the Newport Jail. Six prisoners make a break for freedom—and Scott and Alonzo are suddenly caught in the middle of an escape that could have changed everything. Then Alonzo Walling finally faces a jury of his own. His attorney, Colonel Washington, mounts what may be the strongest defense we have seen anywhere in this case. He attacks the prosecution’s timeline, challenges its witnesses, tests its physical evidence, and brings in experts who raise serious questions about how—and even where—Pearl Bryan died. Washington asks the jury for one thing: actually look at the evidence. But when the case is finally placed in their hands, the question becomes whether they are willing to do that at all.
