La investigación los lleva por un camino lleno de giros. No se trata de un simple "quién lo hizo". La policía descubre que las víctimas eran prostitutas masculinas y narcotraficantes de bajo nivel.

The episode suggests that juries are swayed by emotion, not logic. The jurors tell Stone after the trial that they "would have done the same thing." Stone’s horrified reaction is the moral center of the show. La Ley Y El Orden 1x2
"La Ley y el Orden" (Law & Order) is a popular American crime drama television series created by Dick Wolf. The show follows a two-part approach, with the first half focusing on the investigation of a crime, typically carried out by the detectives of the NYPD, and the second half dealing with the prosecution of the case in court, led by a team of prosecutors from the District Attorney's office.
During the trial, Janice takes the stand. Under cross-examination, Stone destroys her credibility. She admits she didn't see a gun—she saw something silver . She admits she didn’t wait to be robbed; she shot first. Her final testimony is chilling: "I’m not sorry he’s dead. I’m sorry I have to be here."
