Synopsis:
(From TV Guide)
A high-profile murder case involving a prominent lawyer keys this compelling episode.
The suspect is wily defense attorney Robert Colson (Gregg Henry), whose impeccable record is now blemished by the accusation that he killed his ex-girlfriend. But a dearth of hard evidence---and the absence of a body---results in the dismissal of the charge at a preliminary hearing. Frustrated but undeterred, the cops determine to get to Colson by targeting his conflicted brother, Jay (David Burke), and members of Jay's family. What follows is a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse that puts Det. Sears (Donnie Wahlberg) at particular risk. McNorris: Neal McDonough. Vivian: Jessica Lundy.
(From NBC)
MCNORRIS FIGHTS FOR THE MURDER CONVICTION OF A HIGH-PROFILE DEFENSE ATTORNEY - Fighting to convict flashy defense lawyer Robert Colson (guest star Gregg Henry, "Payback") for the alleged murder of his girlfriend, DDA McNorris (Neal McDonough) uses his relationship with Andrea (Nina Garbiras) to put the case on the front page, while Detectives Stevens (Donnie Wahlberg) and Smith (Mykelti Williamson) lean on his slightly mentally unstable brother (guest star David Burke) in the hopes of rattling a confession. While the homicide strikes an emotional chord with Stevens, he refuses to violate procedure when veteran officer Hechler (Gary Basaraba) suggest the planting of evidence to help force a break in the case. Jason Gedrick and Lana Parilla also star.
