[edit] Plot

A 16-year-old African-American girl claims that two white policemen raped her. Greevey and Logan's investigation causes difficulty for the accuser, while Stone and Robinette discover the truth about the young girl's allegations, which proves difficult when an African-American Congressman puts the spin machine in full overdrive, using the girl's allegations to discredit white policemen and turn her into a martyr.
