Abstract

Sugar is that rarest of commodities : an old-school professional thief, tough and loyal as a pit bull, packing 255 pounds of muscle. When he's picked out of a photo array in a vicious rape case, the cops find his apartment empty. A stakeout catches Sugar when he returns ... carrying a loaded pistol. The sex-crime cops get nothing from their interrogation, but a streetwise detective figures out why Sugar offers no alibi : at the time of the rape, a holiday-weekend break-in job was being pulled at a jewelry store. The DA offers Sugar two options : give up his partners in the jewel heist and walk or plead to the rape he didn't commit -- and he'll toss in the gun charge. For Sugar, that's not two options, he takes the weight
