Synopsis:
A young Middle Eastern man is killed on camera in what appears to be a hate crime. Detectives Ed Green and Nina Cassady quickly learn that prior to the murder the victim had made a frantic 911 call to the Joint Terrorist Task Force and Detective Henry Paulsen, who joins in the investigation. Once the suspect, Ben Faoud is apprehended, A.D.A.s Jack McCoy and Connie Rubirosa succeed in convincing the F.B.I. that the suspect should be tried for murder. Faoud then hires high-power defense attorney Paul Robinette who demands the case be thrown out.
