It's David versus Goliath when computer giant BMI sues startup Minicom for damages when a shipment of components that BMI sent to Minicom is lost. BMI claims that Minicom bore the risk of loss; it is suing to recover for breach of contract. Minicom claims it directed BMI to obtain insurance on the shipment and that BMI's failure to do so breached the contract, causing the loss of past and future profits.

Down-on-his-luck dad, or hardened gangster? An apprehended robber implicates John Burns as the mastermind and getaway driver in a robbery gone wrong.
During an attempted hold-up of his grocery store, owner Ali Aboud pulls a gun from under the counter and fires at the robber, Lauren Jones. The bullet misses Jones but hits and kills Aboud's wife, Rachel. Jones is arrested at the scene of the robbery and works out a plea deal with the State in return for his testimony.
The State alleges defendant John Burns planned the grocery store robbery, took Jones to the store in what was to be the getaway car, but fled, leaving Jones inside, when he heard a gunshot. Burns faces two felony counts: armed robbery for his alleged participation in the holdup and felony murder for Mrs. Aboud's death.
