Do criteria exist for the death penalty? Yusuke Mito, a law faculty lecturer who did not become a lawyer even though he passed the bar exam, the famous lawyer Kojiro Otomo who advocates the abolition of the death penalty, and the public prosecutor Mariko Nagase studied law together.

However, the first case Mito takes charge of is the defence of Sabae, who murdered the wife of his good friend, Otomo…
