Plot summary
Rockford is the prime suspect in the murder of a friend of Rocky's new neighbors, stupid punks from New Jersey who aspire to becoming successful criminals. As Beth Davenport no longer works for the law firm that represents Rockford, Jim is sent Wade Ward ( Sorrell Booke ) to be his defense attorney. However Ward is much more interested in an anti-trust case he's also working on. Jim instead gets help from John Cooper ( Bo Hopkins ), a disbarred lawyer now working as a legal researcher. With Greg Antonacci, Gene Davis, Luke Andreas and Walter Olkewicz.
