Howard Jackson, Homicide

When he's not handling evidence, ADA Howard Jackson spends his time caring for his young son and contemplating the responsibilities of his job. "When I'm at trial, it's hectic," he says. "The schedule is hectic, and the hours that I have to put in are hectic. I would be less than honest if I said there wasn't pressure. There's a lot at stake here. I won't get a second chance."
