The teenage daughter of Lieutenant Commander Ben Finney, named after James Kirk, who first accuses the captain of murdering her father and later unknowingly points the defence towards the truth.
Jame Finney is the daughter of Ben Finney, the Enterprise records officer believed to have died when Kirk jettisoned an ion pod. She appears in the first-season Original Series episode Court Martial, played by Alice Rawlings. Her father named her after Kirk when the two men were close friends.
At Starbase 11 she confronts Kirk in Commodore Stone's office and tearfully calls him a murderer. Later she comes to him with an apology, having read through her father's old letters and seen how his bitterness over a stalled career had grown.
Her change of heart strikes Kirk's lawyer, Samuel Cogley, as significant. When Finney is found hiding alive aboard the Enterprise, Cogley arranges for Jame to be brought to the ship, and the news that she is aboard helps Kirk persuade Finney to reveal his sabotage.
