Somebody threw a dead body from a vacant apartment after shooting her at close range. The victim hit the windshield of a police car much to the policemen surprise; she was an undercover police officer and recently she tried to put an albanian drug lord out of the business. Actually, the dealer who held a grudge against her was a slavic man named Petrovich: he saw her picture on the newspaper wearing police uniform, so a reporter should have held responsable for this accident, but she claimed freedom of press with no intent to harm anyone. Anyway the real target was her father, a writer who wanted to discredited a congressman. His right-hand man (Garret Dillahunt), a government employee, was arrested as a result, but he had an e-mail as smoking gun for his innocence. McCoy reputation was put at stake during the trial.
The matter in this episode is more political than jurisdictional. Is it more powerful a political figure or a district attorney prosecutor? It's a war between state powers that make you think about the hardship a democracy has to face sometimes.
