Steve Harmon's lawyer, Kathy O'Brien, successfully wins the case by presenting Steve in a positive light. She not only encourages Steve but also gives him advice on how to act in the courtroom that will sway the jury's opinion of him. She also goes over the questions he will answer while he is on the witness stand which helps Steve win the case. Although Kathy supports Steve and wants him to be found not guilty, their relationship is strictly professional. Steve wants to know Kathy on a personal level, but she is reluctant to disclose aspects of her personal life. At the end of the novel, Steve is found not guilty and turns to hug Kathy. However, Kathy backs away from him and looks at Steve like he is a "monster." Her reaction suggests that she believes that Steve is guilty of participating in the crime and is not interested in becoming friends. Steve is hurt by her reaction and continues to struggle with his identity.
