Hank had one called The main trial but it was a gospel song that didn't mention any particular crime
Now he did do one called "Too Many parties" where the speaker (Hank) was a prosecutor who is conducting a trial about a drunk driving woman who it turns out is his own daughter...could that be what you are thinking of?

I have that on mp3 if you will e-mail me at drjmallen@gmail.com, I'll send it to you and you can see if it's the same song you're thinking of
