In Reasonable Doubt, Dominic plays up-and-coming District Attorney Mitch Brockden, a straight-arrow family man whose life takes a serious turn when he unintentionally commits a hit-and-run. The case ironically lands in his lap, and with a personal stake in it, he feels compelled to manipulate the proceedings to acquit Clinton Davis (Jackson), the accused criminal who was found with the body and blamed for the crime. When Davis walks away without a conviction, Mitch's worst fears come true when he learns that his actions freed a guilty man -- and he may be the next target of a serial killer.
