A couple of guys who went on to some substantial careers, an Oscar nomination for Samuel L. Jackson and an Oscar for Philip Seymour Hoffman are in this Law And Order episode. Jackson is a defense attorney and Hoffman is one of a few accused of rape of Megan Gallagher.
This episode opens with charges dismissed against Hoffman and Gil Bellows. But both are afraid that a third defendant Kenny Johnston is going to rat them out and Bellows freaks out so bad he grabs a court officer's gun and tries to shoot Johnston.
That gets the case kicked back to Greevey and Logan to backtrack for evidence. Gallagher is also not the easiest victim to work with.
There's another perpetrator here and Jackson is his lawyer once he's finally identified through some very hard work by George Dzundza and Chris Noth. That's Al Shannon and the other two are rightly scared of him. But they're all punks.
Kudos to Dzundza who really does a great job in getting Hoffman and Bellows to incriminate themselves. You have to see it to believe it.
