Wrong Place, Wrong Time

The Rosewood Jewelry Store robbery left two people dead and a community demanding justice. The prosecution thinks they found their man in Marcus Thompson, a 20-year-old African-American delivery driver with a learning disability. The evidence seems damning: his car was spotted near the scene, two co-defendants named him as their driver, and he made confused statements during a grueling interrogation. But something doesn't add up.

As Marcus's public defender, you're the only one who believes in his innocence. The deck is stacked against you both: crucial GPS data has vanished, security footage is mysteriously corrupted, and the media has already convicted him in the court of public opinion. Their coverage has played into racial stereotypes, with subtle and not-so-subtle implications about "gang connections" despite Marcus's complete lack of criminal history. With only three weeks until trial, you must navigate a maze of police misconduct, coerced testimonies, and tampered evidence to uncover the truth.

The stakes couldn't be higher. While Marcus sits in jail, his mother's cancer progresses without his support, and his sister has been forced to abandon her college dreams. Two co-defendants, both white, took plea deals to falsely testify against him, the prosecution is blocking access to exculpatory evidence, and the victims' families are calling for maximum punishment. In this race against time, your legal expertise, determination, and investigative skills are Marcus's last hope for justice.
