In 1960, German Army lawyer Major Steve Garrett was assigned to defend four American soldiers accused of raping 16-year-old Karin Steinhof. When she was swimming in the nearby river, the four of them met her and were soon arrested. Major Garrett is not impressed by his clients at all, but his job is to provide them with the best defense. He attempted to obtain a plea agreement, but Karin's father flatly refused, and prosecutor Colonel Jerome Pakenham was seeking the death penalty. In order to apply the death penalty, defense lawyers must have the opportunity to conduct a thorough examination of the victim after taking the oath. He sympathized with Karin and made every effort to persuade her father not to let her testify. When he refused, Galle had no choice but to attack her from the stands. Author: garykmcd
