Case 09: Jonathan Luna
He was implicated in a case of missing money from a courthouse evidence vault. He was facing allegations of misconduct and illegal handling of a witness in a major drug trafficking trial, which lead to the judge ordering a federal investigation.
One way to stop that federal investigation would be to come up with a quick plea deal to end the case. One problem, there was no way to do the plea deal without violating federal law.
And unfortunately, for US assistant attorney Jonathan Luna things were about to get worse. Much, much worse.
