"Parents on Trial" -- Annabeth must contend with a sharp defense attorney whose tactic for getting his client acquitted of murder is to put the victim's parents on trial, on a rebroadcast of CLOSE TO HOME, Friday, Feb. 17 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Charles Beeson directed the episode written by Erica Shelton. (Originally broadcast 11/11/05)

Bruce Davison ("Runaway Jury") reprises his role as defense attorney Doug Hellman.

Annabeth must combat the defense's strategy of putting the victim's parents on trial by claiming their lifestyle and the father's relationship with the defendant is to blame for their son's death. Now, Annabeth must find evidence that will convince a jury that the defendant is guilty of the murder of the 6-year-old boy.
