Or…
Whilst an ex-defense attorney is forced to defend her friend?s son for a murder he didn?t commit, she unravels that he was the murderers target.
Cool thanks sharkeating man. Almost like Randy Ingermanson’s Snowflake method 🙂 I’ll try to condense it more.
Something like…

That’s the essence.
Reads more like a short synopsis. Try to reduce it to the heart of the issue- twenty-five words, if possible, no more than thirty.
Make sure the tone/genre is clear in that logline.
If there is a “hook” (soemthing that separates it from other movies of the same genre) highlight the hook in the logline. No time to be coy or secretive. The hook probably lies within the deadly secrets or disturbing relations.
Good luck- Hope it was helpful!
…shocking truths 🙂
