The Real McCoy (2)

Believing in McBride's guilt, Reader withdraws from the case, whilst in court Costello's passionate, if biased, speeches lead to accusations of 'performing'. Increasingly the evidence suggests that McBride was indeed the owner of the gun that killed Monk though, as the trial continues, Lamb brings in Micky Joy to highlight police corruption and present McBride as a victim of a dishonest Inspector.
