A young man who claims to have helped a murdered young man change a flat tire is first the cops' primary suspect, then the prosecutors' chief witness.

The DA and the cops realize that the suspect that they have been treating like crap is the eyewitness to a murder. Then, after some legal screw ups, the ex-suspect is the only one who can put the killer in jail.moreless

A fine episode! My favorite episodes of the Law and Order series are the ones that don't use a touchy political issue as a major plot device, and this is one of the better such episodes.

The plotting, writing, and most else of this episode are above the law and order standards, which I wouldn't call low.

An interesting aspect of the episode is that it doesn't focus of the efforts of police and the DA as much as it focuses on Mike Bodack, a poor fellow who becomes the prime suspect then main witness in a carjacking-murder.

I suppose the theme of this episode can be summed up with Schiff's observation at the end "It is nice to know that the entire legal system rises and falls with a Mike Bodack"moreless
