Complex Murder Case

When the mayor is met by a man who attempts a car jacking in the parking lot, he manage to get a gun out of his briefcase. This leads to threats and the mayor kills the man. But by then he was unarmed. The town in up in arms when Jimmy arrests the mayor. A new DA tries the case with only a couple weeks to gather evidence and select witnesses. This was very good courtroom drama.
