Law & Order: Trial by Jury

Kibre is handed a political bombshell when she is asked to prosecute two police officers, Petro and Tolbert for their murky roles in the murder of a gay prisoner who was fatally sodomized with a police nightstick -- but she clashes with Detective Ravell who confronts the "the blue wall" in his search for truth. Under federal pressure for a conviction, a conscience-stricken Ravell causes more problems when he tries to protect one of the cops and his young family by withholding vital evidence.

A.D.A. Kibre works with Detectives Stabler and Benson to prosecute a serial rapist Gabriel whose trail of victims through the years has been whitewashed by his wealthy and protective mother Eleanor. Kibre must also overcome witness intimidation -- and even sees her crucial DNA evidence tossed out -- but the slippery suspect's lawyer has yet another surprise under his sleeve.

Prosecutors Kibre and Gaffney are stymied when a young man confesses to killing a transvestite upon discovering that the "she" was a "he" -- just before the suspect's controlling father also admits that he pummeled the victim to death in self-defense. Besides being whipsawed between two divergent confessions, the suspicious assistant D.A.s can't seem to turn one against the other, prompting a determined Kibre to reach into her legal bag of tricks to force the issue in court.

In the interests of justice, A.D.A.s Kibre and Gaffney may be forced to prosecute a doorman who's been publicly lionized as a hero after warding off -- and killing -- a homeless man after he attacked a frightened woman who lived in the building. However, even though the grateful victim thinks the dead man was her tenacious stalker, Kibre's case rests on convincing her that the would-be hero staged the event and actually is her true stalker.
