[edit] Plot
A white woman shoots two black men in a crowded subway. The shooting at first appears to be self-defense, but further investigation shows that the motive may be revenge. Logan and Greevey argue about diBiasi's guilt, especially after learning that the dead man has a substantial record, and the living one cannot control himself in court. Laura diBiasi tries to make her case to Robinette, but he distances himself from the issue. Stone has trouble with the case, both in dealing with diBiasi's public defender Shambala Green and with the fact that the district attorney's office is divided over the issue.
[edit] Allusions
This episode appers to be ripped from the headlines of the Bernie Goetz case. Similar to the episode, Goetz shot four young black men on a Manhattan Subway. Goetz, like di Biasi was found not guilty.
