Judge Me Not

Appeals lawyer Nora Dockson might be able to free Silvia Simon from prison. But why should she try?

An ex-con herself, Nora broke free from her trailer park roots and went to law school. She works only for convicted felons.

Silvia, a young single mother, insists she's not guilty of arson-murder. But investigators determined only she could have started the fire. The prosecutor argued that Silvia set it to kill her daughter.

Was he wrong? Or is Silvia lying?

Trying to make sense of what happened, Nora ends up at the murky junction where arson myths and bad-mother stereotypes collide with modern science.

Piecing together Silvia's story, Nora discovers more of her own . . .
