Forreston Graham is a pro-life defense attorney from Ohio.

History

When Evangeline Miller tried to have an abortion after being raped by her stepfather James, Graham came from Ohio, where abortion is illegal, to represent James's interests. He threatened to have anyone involved arrested if Miller got an abortion. However, the court ruled in objection to the arrests.

When Miller was given permission to have an abortion, Graham confronted ADA Carisi outside the courtroom and criticized him for helping Miller. Carisi then told Graham about how his mother had to get an abortion due to the baby suffering from an illness that would have killed it just after being born and how distraught both he and his mother had been as Catholics. Carisi then admonished Graham for letting his anti-abortion crusade make him speak in favor of a child rapist. It is said the Ohio D.A. later indicted James Miller.
