Defending Jacob Season 1 Plot
The story of Defending Jacob, a top-rated American crime-drama miniseries,
revolves around a family. The story takes place in a suburban Massachusetts county
where Andrew Barber serves as an assistant district attorney for more than 20 years.
Andy Barber is extremely respected in his community. Every day, after work, Andy
loves to come home to his dear wife, Laurie and their 14-year-old son, Jacob. Days
go by in their natural ways, but suddenly, news of a heinous crime starts to appear
everywhere.
Andy loves his son very dearly, as any father would do. His whole world comes
shattering down when he learns that his son Jacob is being charged with the brutal
murder of a fellow student. Andy is filled with strong paternal instincts and he does
everything that any father would do to protect his boy.
Jacob keeps on insisting on the fact that he is innocent, and Andy, being a good dad,
believes his son. A good father must trust his child.
The story intensifies when crucial facts and ghastly revelations regarding the crime
begin to surface. Andy is faced with his own trial when his whole world comes
crumbling down in front of his own eyes. We can see him dealing with issues such
as a failing marriage and the legal trial of his son, Jacob. What causes Andy the
most pain is the fact that what he thought of his son, was not enough. He did not
