Debi Chanoor is a defense attorney and the sister of serial rapist and murderer Henry Chanoor.
History[]
Debi and her sister Nita were lauded by their father, gynecologist Dr. Rankesh Chanoor, to the point he poured most of his own resources into their growth into their careers, Debi as a lawyer and Nita as another doctor in the family. Henry was always rejected by Rankesh despite the fact he received love from his mother and sisters, but his life went as far as janitorial work at one of Rankesh's clinics.
To get attention and shock Rankesh, Henry raped six women and killed three of them by strangulation. After Rankesh was cleared a suspect since they were all clients at his clinics, Henry was revealed as the rapist and arrested. Debi stepped in as Henry's counsel to represent him and because of her Henry was released on bail and arrested for bragging about the crimes on a live radio show and them engaging in a standoff with detectives.
