Madeline Morris, a dancer, wears an open coat while sitting on a wooden bench against a wall. She is presumably sitting in the hallway of a local courthouse or jail (possibly Lincoln Heights Jail). Morris was drunk driving and drove through a red light, resulting in a crash that injured Catherine Manchester, a passenger in the other car.
