Maris is called into the case of Tom Sheppard six weeks after the young man was convicted of murdering an ex-girlfriend. An old lady across the street says she saw him chase the woman out of a bar and whack her in the head with a rock. As he investigates, Herb finds that medical officials were not asked relevant questions during the trial, the dead girl had a prior medical condition that no one bothered to inquire about, and the busybody witness made assumptions about what she'd seen.
