Investigating magistrate Judge Bartoli is charming, irreverent and allergic to rules. Above all, he will stop at nothing to shed light on the truth.

Episode 3: Presumed Innocent
Judge Bartoli is solicited by Patricia Juano, wanted by the police and social services since escaping from custody following her arrest. Convinced that a couple is guilty of having kidnapped her daughter Aline, Juano has been on their trail for two and a half years. But evidence was lacking and the couple, confident of their legal position, succeeded in having Patricia placed in a psychiatric unit. Meanwhile, Judge Bartoli and his female team are investigating a different case: Evelyne Lambert, "the black widow," has been arrested for the suspected murder of her partner. The woman has already been charged three times with murdering her husband, but has never been convicted. Bartoli confronts the widow with his favorite weapon: empathy.
