A sociopathic killer, Ronald Duncan causes controversy across LA County because the law prevents him from being tried as an adult since his crime was committed nine days before he turned sixteen. Duncan never shows any remorse and basically hangs himself in his court case. Peggy Beckstrand works hard to convict him and is ultimately successful, though not without cost. The system failed to get justice for Duncan's victims, in Humes's view.
