Plot Overview
A controversial Catholic priest is on trial for murder, claiming the crime was an accident. Judd focuses his case on the victim's fiance, a young girl in the priest's theology class who's in love with the priest, despite the fact that he's taken a strict vow of celibacy. Complicating matters are the priest's published opinions on whether priests should be allowed to marry and also the fact that the girl is pregnant.
