A CASE WHERE A COP KILLS A WOMAN RAISES TENSION IN THE DA'S OFFICE. A murdered woman is found in an alleyway dumpster after a riot at an immigration rally. Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Ed Green's (Jesse L. Martin) investigation leads to an auxiliary cop's over zealous attempt to stop the riot. The political nature of case elevates tension in the DA's office as DA Jack McCoy (Sam Waterston) assigns ADA Josh Lethem (guest star John Pankow) to prosecute the case. But Lethem has his own biased agenda, bringing McCoy's liberal background into question. Also starring: S. Epatha Merkerson, Linus Roache, and Alana De La Garza.
