TRUE JUSTICE

In JUSTICE, husband and wife team Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi are back in court. While D.A. Karp prosecutes a fifteen-year-old murder, Ciampi defends a mother accused of killing her newborn and disposing the infant's body in a dumpster. Nick Sullivan gives a solid, no-frills performance. He portrays the pair in a down-to-earth manner, making them and their repartee fully believable. And when Marlene unloads on an unprincipled adversary, the listener wants to cheer her--and Sullivan for his characterization of her. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
