A white man in his middle twenties started shooting at a park, killing several bystanders. After the shock, Briscoe and Green started talking to witnesses. The shooter yelled damn ******* to the victims, all pre-med students. He wore a baseball hat and a bag left in the same park where dectectives found a sport gun, whose serial number belonged to a man,a paramedic (Neal Huff), who stole an old lady's identity. Green took this case as personal, acting very hard in arresting the perp and trying with all the efforts to extort information from him in the questioning room: he succeed. But the hardship emerged for lawyers: ballistic didn't manage to match appropriately the slugs to the gun (the weapon was modified) and that's why the defendant managed to escape the death penalty. Furthermore there was a jurisdiction issue over selling weapons and things went wrong before the Appellate Court......Anyway, there must be a way to put the blame on the manufacturer.
An episode that involved weapons, too widespread in United States. The part related to lawyers is very long. Anyway, I like McCoy's speech before the jurors. Wait till the very end, you will be surprised of judge's reaction.
