That worst of all situations for law enforcement, the killing of one of their own brings Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt to the scene as the assigned detectives.
The deceased was a member of the warrant squad and he was shot at close range in a patrol car while his partner was away. After establishing it wasn't the guy these two were trying to pick up, the focus becomes the late victim's personal life and his involvement with a female officer from his former precinct.
Jenny Bacon is filled with anger at the police establishment and all they didn't do to rein her ex-boyfriend in who would not let her go. Her defense attorney is Philip Bosco and he's having a great old time in court pointing all that went wrong for his client.
J.K. Simmons observing Bacon in court gives his psychological assessment and tells Sam Waterston and Angie Harmon what direction their case should take.
This episode is a big indictment of the NYPD and their lack of concern for female officers.
