Media Release:
|
This entertaining instalment of yet another quality homegrown drama sees Church under the spotlight over his conduct when extracting a confession from Tony Howarth. A trail that was supposed to see Howarth convicted for shooting Bernie Rocca is dismissed when the canny crim claims police brutality. The team is painted into a corner when they are ordered to stay away from Howarth, but there is a glimmer of hope for Church.
