Short summary

Detectives Briscoe and Logan investigate the murder of Dawn Bryan. The young African-American woman once had a bright future ahead of her. She was a good student and was even voted most likely to succeed. It seems to have all come tumbling down when she got cooked on crack. She was shot with a .45 caliber gun and their first suspect is her supplier and sometime live-in boyfriend who hoes by the street name of Skate. The dead woman's family are devastated by the loss of their daughter but they feel they lost her long ago when she became hooked on drugs. When the evidence points to a family member as the likely culprit, ADA Stone and DA Adam Schiff both feel a good deal of sympathy. Paul Robinette however doesn't think anyone should have leniency and pushes for a grand jury indictment.

    Jerry Orbach and Chris Noth catch a case involving the shooting death of a young black woman who at one time was a scholarship winner, but her life went south when she got hooked on narcotics. At first the evidence points to her dealer Leland Gantt, but the ADAs look closer at it plus the fact this career criminal insists on his innocence. Maybe Gantt's due for some cosmic justice, but not for this murder.

    I can't go any farther, but this is truly one of the most heartbreaking episodes ever done in the history of Law And Order. You will be most moved by the performance of Mary Alice and Douglas Turner Ward as the parents of the deceased.

    No one should go through what they did.
