Astro City: Local Heroes

Astro City is a different place in the 1970's following the death of the Silver Agent. The people don't feel the same towards their institutions or their heroes. A small-time defense attorney is given a case that cannot be won. Richie Forgione, son of the head of the Forgione crime family, murdered his date in the middle of a crowded restaurant, with withnesses and forensic evidence galore. And his client, Richie's father, expects him to get the jury to acquit his son. With a family to protect, how can the attorney win the case? And are the costs of victory even worse than those of defeat?
