Investigation into the Pinnacle case is turning up new evidence that reveals more about Davids life—and death—than Paul can deny. Does Paul honor the sacred oath of confidentiality and allow his brothers murderer to go free or does he breach that duty in the interest of a higher morality a greater justice? Moreover will his client decide that there is really only one way to be sure that Paul doesnt disclose this “privileged information?
