The Safe Judge

In his 30 years on the bench, Judge Ben Franklin Talbot has always acted without an ulterior motive, until Senator Ed Ashworth offers to postpone the judge’s retirement if he will dismiss charges against a drug dealer. Initially outraged, the judge’s son realizes that based on the evidence he may have to throw the case out of court and thus alienate his daughter, Nancy, who is sure her classmate is guilty and that her father is being bribed.

A respected judge's good name gets threatened when a dangerous crime boss uses dirty tricks to help his son escape drug charges, turning the honest judge into a target for blackmail.

When the son of the city's most fearsome gangsters pulls strings to get his son of drug possession charges, an upstanding judge finds his reputation on the line and he himself becomes a victim of blackmail.
