Yet when Laprea Johnson walks into Annas life—battered by her boyfriend on the morning after Valentines Day—theres something about this particular case that Anna cant quite shake, something that reminds the prosecutor of her own troubled past. Its also the biggest case of Annas career—and the most personal.
