(Captain America I#614) - Tower showed evidence of Barnes' past destructions, and interviewed several witnesses, including Mr. Ludovich (Red Room witness), an ex-Kronas employee, and Norman Osborn, but Rosenthal discredited each of them. After the Black Widow didn't show in court, Tower called Dr. Faustus; during Faustus testimony he hypnotized Tower, causing him to grab the judge's gavel and attack the bailiff. Before the court could recover from the chaos, a gunman opened fire in the room, and Barnes saved Tower from being shot. The man delivered a video from Sin, one that showed Black Widow and Falcon being held captive, and she demanded that Barnes be let out to save them; Tower wondered if this was Barnes' plan all along.

(Captain America I#615) - After Barnes broke out of jail to help Captain America and others defeat Sin, he turned himself back in and the trial resumed. In his closing arguments, Tower wondered when any super hero would be held accountable for his actions, without excuses. Barnes surprised everyone by agreeing to plead guilty. The judge sentenced him to twenty years in jail, but commuted it to time served, meaning Barnes was able to go free. Then Russian Ambassador Arkady Jadnoski showed up to extradite Barnes to Russia to face charges there.

Blake Tower has had a surprisingly long history in the Marvel Universe. Cop, judge, and lawyer characters are often used for a single issue or run without ever returning, but he has come back again and again. Tower has been buddy-buddy with many super heroes and has a lot of connections, and he's been assaulted a few times in various courtrooms and in his office, but overall, despite his long history, he's never been given much character development. His one issue connection to his son has been the most human we've really seen him.

Blake Tower also appeared in the novel Spider-Man: Wanted Dead or Alive (1998) by Craig Shaw Gardner, but I don't know if the novel is even considered canon.
