Tolerable by Law: The Final Verdict

David B. Darrington

When the death of Isaiah “Zay” Turner awakens controversy in the Midwest, Jennifer Davis and Attorney Marcus Brown band together to bring the Turner family their deserved justice. They work closely as a team to conquer allyship, defeat agenda-setting narratives, and decriminalize Isaiah’s name--alongside his mother, uncle and girlfriend, Tiara. 
With the trial of Isaiah’s killer, Robert McCarthy, coming up soon, conservative supporters protest his freedom, while provoking violence against the Black Lives Matter Movement. And when a key witness goes missing, Jennifer, Marcus, and the team, lack supporting evidence that could help put him behind bars. In attempt to locate the witness, they come across Zay’s old friend, Tyler Young, who gives them information that could potentially incriminate some really crooked people – including McCarthy and a secret criminal organization. 
The team unite with Tyler to figure out what really happened leading up to the “Fourth of July” shooting (that costed Isaiah his life). But when they’re all exposed to the bigger picture, the truth is much more disturbing than they imagine. 
Then again, the truth is never easy to hear…is it?
