Thriller Legal
In a small Florida town near Lake Okeechobee, an innocent
young man’s fate hangs in the balance. Rudy Kelly, bi-
racial and borderline retarded is targeted by the local
police as a suspect in a brutal murder. Convinced of his
innocence, his mother hires a famous defense attorney, but
loses him when her money runs out. Turned over to the
drunken public defender, and framed by the police and
prosecutor, Rudy is convicted of first-degree murder and
sentenced to death. After spending ten years on death row,
top trial lawyer Jack Tobin, a boyhood friend of his
father’s, learns of Rudy’s situation and decides to take on
the case. Jack engages in a non-stop race against time to
uncover evidence to exonerate Rudy and overturn his
conviction. Through fierce courtroom battles, legal maneuverings, and
surprise twists and turns, Jack Tobin fights to see justice
done against Jimmy DiCarlo, the well-connected Miami
criminal lawyer steeped in corruption. More than a typical legal thriller, THE MAYOR OF LEXINGTON
AVENUE tells a story of enduring friendships, love and
loss, promises kept and loyalties fulfilled, all against a
backdrop that sweeps from the streets of New York City to
the bayous and barrios of Florida.
