The Witness for the Prosecution

Romaine, whose testimony was Leonard's one hope to save him from the gallows, has turned on him, leaving Mayhew's case hopeless and Leonard's fatal verdict imminent.

But there is another, shadowy player in this vicious game - one who turns the entire case on its head and changes both his and Leonard's life forever.
