Dodd and Baron become defense counsel for Shu Kai Kim (Yuji Okumoto), who may or may not have killed a man eight years ago in China town.

Sir Harry Bowens may still be unknown to Burke's Peerage (relax, guys: his knighthood is self- imposed), but fans of the O'Jays will recognize the cool, platinum elegance of his phrasing.
