HARM TRIES TO CLEAR THE NAME OF A SEAMAN IN A 20-YEAR-OLD MURDER CASE, ON "JAG," FRIDAY, OCT. 8

"Retrial" -- Harm re-opens a 20-year-old murder case in an effort to exonerate an imprisoned Seaman, on JAG, Friday, Oct. 8 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Jeannot Szwarc directed the episode from a script by Larry Moskowitz.

At the request of Seaman Saul Wainright (guest star William Sadler) who is serving a life sentence in a federal prison for stabbing a transsexual prostitute 20 years ago, Harm convinces Naval authorities to re-open the case. The Seaman always proclaimed his innocence, insisting that he accidentally stabbed the prostitute once. She was later found dead of multiple stab wounds. With help from outside legal counsel, Harm conducts an investigation into whether the authorities were negligent at the trial when they didn't inform his defense attorney that a convicted felon confessed to the murder before his death. Meanwhile, Bud is up against Mac in court when he defends a bigamist.
