Sorry, Murder‪!‬ Ratbone

Manbir and Preeti* were driving home after their wedding ceremony when they got into a minor fender-bender.   This event would change everything for them, and it would also end up shaking the public's trust in the justice system...  would justice be granted? 

*There is a publication ban on Manprit's wife's name, so we have named her Preeti for this episode.
