For Butch Karp, chief assistant district attorney for New York County, the nightmare begins when a shocking act of negligence results in homicide. Goaded by the media's sensational publicity, the public is screaming for blood, and Karp's boss, D.A. Jack Keegan, is listening. He's ordered the prosecution of a fifteen-year-old for murder, intent on making a very public example of the girl. A Hispanic from a poor neighborhood, she's an easy mark for big-city bureaucracy and bigotry. It is Karp's unpleasant job to see that the prosecution gives the public what it wants: a quick and thorough administration of hard-line justice.
In JUSTICE, husband and wife team Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi are back in court. While D.A. Karp prosecutes a fifteen-year-old murder, Ciampi defends a mother accused of killing her newborn and disposing the infant's body in a dumpster. Nick Sullivan gives a solid, no-frills performance. He portrays the pair in a down-to-earth manner, making them and their repartee fully believable. And when Marlene unloads on an unprincipled adversary, the listener wants to cheer her--and Sullivan for his characterization of her. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
