TV personality Madeline McBride is being sued for driving Jeremy Brennan to suicide.
Tropes:
- Acquitted Too Late: Several people believed Jeremy Brennan killed his stepdaughter until the real culprit was caught. Unfortunately, Jeremy was already dead by then.
- Bittersweet Ending: Madeline lost her job once Jeremy Brennan is revealed to be innocent of the crime she accused him of; she later loses the lawsuit against his widow; but she expects the publicity from the lawsuit will help her get a new job.
- Red Herring: Jeremy Brennan was the main suspect of his stepdaughter's death until the real killer was caught.
