Lawyer Sam represents slave Dean

[4hb1m]

I read this WIP fic on a03 a long time ago where Dean was a slave who killed his master and Sam was the lawyer who represented him in the trial. Lisa was also a slave and it turns out Dean killed the master to prevent him from selling Lisa's son Ben. I think it was headed towards eventual Sam/Dean

Thanks for any help!

Ooh, I know this one! *waves hand excitedly from the back of the room*

It's waywardseraph's most excellent Emancipation - unfortunately never finished, last updated almost two years ago.

Summary:
Non-brother AU. The law doesn't look kindly on slaves who kill their masters, even abusive assholes like Dean's. After putting up with the abuse for years, Dean snapped. No regrets. Now he's in prison awaiting trial and fighting off guys after his pretty ass.

Sam is the young public defender assigned to Dean's case. He figures it'll be a quick conviction and then back to more exciting work, but then he meets his client and decides he's going to put his all into getting Dean cleared.
