The murder of a young violinist is at the center of this episode. The detectives have quite a time choosing a likely suspect, since several of the dead woman's colleagues clearly resented her quick rise to fame. The outcome boils down to a war of wills between D.A. Lewin (Dianne Weist) and an antagonistic judge (Ron McLarty), who seems to have a personal grudge against A.D.A. McCoy (Sam Waterston). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A young girl from a wealthy family is killed in a suspicious fire. Confronted with an incriminating answering-machine message, the teenaged stepbrother of the victim confesses. Things take an even more sinister turn when D.A. Schiff (Steven Hill) tangles with the wealthy and well-connected grandfather of the accused. Robert Vaughn makes his first Law & Order appearance as powerful, paranoiac millionaire Carl Anderton. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
