Your name is Makram Amjad, and to put it bluntly, the past couple of days have been a nightmare. Giovanni getting arrested came completely out of the blue. His trial is tomorrow, and they tried to stick him with some church official as his defense. You weren't having any of that - the church is as corrupt as it is giant and horrifying.
Which is to say 'very'.
You signed on as his defense as soon as you found out because, hey, it's Gio. You know he'd do the same for you. Come to think of it, you kind of want to see Gio defend someone in court now. He'd narrate everything. It'd be hilarious.
Anyway, you hear that the prosecutor for Gio's trial is someone fresh to the courtroom, which suits you just fine, since your knowledge of the law could be described as 'roughly enough to not get arrested.' The church's police force have determined that Gio is guilty of the murder of some old woman on the north side of town, but you suspect that they were looking to nail Gio anyway; he's been a rabble-rouser against the church for a while. The stakes are high - the penalty for being found guilty of murder is death, after all - and the odds are stacked against you.
You smile slightly, despite it all. This is your element.

You decide to get down to business. The trial's tomorrow, so you don't have much time to investigate, and you doubt very much that the church's police force are going to share any information with you.
You look at your map of the city. You could go see Gio in the jail cells under the church, or you could go to the scene of the crime - the deceased's home. You could also go to Gio's place and see if there's anything useful there. Maybe you should go to the legal arm of the church and plead Gio's case. Or perhaps there's another place you should go that you're forgetting.
