Could it be one of John Grisham's works, such as The Client?

I left America in 1980 so I missed it but I`ve asked other friends and no-one seems to have seen it. Sounds like To Kill a Mocking-bird but they haven`t made that into a TV series.

It`s possible you were on a different plane then to the one you`re in now and that could be the explanation. Don`t laugh, stranger things have happened!
