Claire takes the case of Laura Graham (Jordana Largy) who is arrested and then convicted for her husband Tom Graham's alleged murder after she herself reported him missing. It has been a year since the incident but her husband's body remains missing and when the case is brought to Claire, she begins suspecting if he died at all. Claire now seeks to overturn the murder conviction and is assisted by Laura's former lawyer Guy Hanson (Matthew Harrison) who suggests there may be no leads to follow. As Claire works to develop the defense's case, Miles goes through a period of questioning his career as the ADA, working for the prosecution. Meanwhile, Claire tries to downplay her growing personal relationship with Miles and Joanna strikes an unlikely friendship with Lou's baseball coach, Coach Reed.
A pleasant light mystery that is quite intriguing, complex, but the witty banter between the two lawyer protagonist is what makes this appealing. There's some good humour, and Wendy Malick steals the scene with her character and has some neat cutting remarks.

Body of evidence
Darrow & Darrow: Body of Evidence
6/10 - pretty on-par with the rest in the Darrow & Darrow series
Without the body
That most difficult of feats is achieved by a prosecutor in this Darrow&Darrow film, Body Of Evidence. Conviction of Jordana Largy of the murder of her husband without a body. The DA did have the husband's blood on her clothes
and on the boat that they were seen sailing out on.
However of all things a beat cop Michael Ainsley suspects something wrong
and brings his doubts to the younger Darrow, Kimberly Williams-Paisley. She
and her prosecutor adversary Tom Cavanaugh join forces to see if there's
evidence enough to overturn her conviction.
That's usually the hardest thing to do because once that conviction is in the
presumption of innocence is gone and the burden is on the defense.
I have to say I had part of it right, the rest was a bit of a shock. The two lawyers complement each other beautifully in performance. As for that
officer, he's the kind that whatever police agency employs him he ought to
have a quick mobile path up the promotion ladder but probably won't.
