An abortion provider doctor is shot in the back of the head while driving her car out of a parking garage. If not the killer himself the motive is clear when a 'wanted poster' from a right to life group is found at the scene. They may not want to know who, but they wanted the world to know why. Still S. Eptha Merkerssen wants to cover all the bases and has Jerry Orbach and Chris Noth explore alternatives.
But when they uncover the weapon at Thomas Schall's dwelling it seems pretty clear. In fact former priest Edward Herrmann who is Schall's spiritual adviser calls a press conference when Schall officially surrenders.
In a free society this is the eternal debate. Where does advocacy end and action begin? Sam Waterston charges Herrmann as well. His cross examination of Herrmann is devastating. Turns out that this freethinker is as up on his bible as the former priest.
There was a later episode with this same issue where it wasn't as successful with a perpetrator more hateful than Herrmann. But that's another story. This story is a fine one.
