Eri Kisaki is the attorney for a man named Shinji Usami who is convicted for the murder of Tsuyoshi Hirasawa while in a drunken state. On the prosecution side is her rival, Reiko Kujo, dubbed "The Madonna of Prosecutors." It is discovered that Tsuyoshi pushed Masaki Usami, Shinji's son, down a flight of stairs resulting in his death, giving Shinji a valid motive. During Tsuyoshi’s murder investigation, a metal pipe was found along with car keys that belonged to Shinji. He takes responsibility but the facts don't add up with the case. Kogoro was at the bar near the crime scene and serves as a witness. Eri attempts to confirm Usami's alibi through his estranged wife Masako Kamedo. Kamedo reveals that Hiraswa visited her bar and that Kogoro should be able to confirm it. Kogoro reveals that he fell asleep at the bar, and was waken by Kamedo who told him he had a phone call; The time on the phone proves that Usami was at the bar at the time of the murder. During the hearing, Reiko calls Kogoro to the witness stand, leaving Eri baffled and Conan concerned. (Source: Wikipedia)
