Inquest by Kevin McDermott - Drama - When a well-liked newspaper reporter in a small town kills a home intruder, there appears to be little doubt that it was self-defense. Authorities begin going through the motions to close the case, convening a coroner’s inquest that everyone assumes will be short and simple. Only State’s Attorney Frank McGrath -- a World War Two veteran still haunted at what he’d witnessed of the Holocaust -- is having problems with the story. As McGrath reluctantly pursues his questions, he finds implications that reach far beyond the case at hand, to challenge his very understanding of the concept of justice.
