Merriman’s Second Chance
Wilmot B. Irvin
John Merriman is a crusty old trial lawyer who makes a career of skating across the ethical boundaries drawn by his profession. His nemesis, the self-righteous county solicitor Malcolm T. Prescott, makes life difficult for Merriman until the tables are turned – and Prescott finds himself in the seat of the accused. Merriman’s plain-speaking wife May and their omniscient terrier Leland, tough cop Detective Lieutenant Michael O’Shea Barrow, and unexpected health problems play a role in Merriman’s redemption, but the serendipitous second chance to become a good and honest lawyer is the key to the transformation that takes place in Merriman’s life.
