Diane Marger Moore had been a criminal defense lawyer for more than a decade when she met and married her husband, an Indianapolis native. After moving to Indiana, she was hired to serve as the chief arson prosecutor for Marion County. Only months into the job, and with little to no experience as a prosecutor, she had to decide whether to try or dismiss an arson case involving the death of an eight-week-old child. As the mother of two young children, and with politics on all sides, including pressure from the assigned homicide detective, she had to decide the best path to obtain justice for the infant, Baby Matthew Wise.
