A peace activist named Brian Teague is found strangled. The detectives connect the victim to a veteran named Kenny Silva, who argued with Teague in a bar before Teague's death. Kenny is charged with murder. His son Matt, also a soldier, was recently killed in Iraq. A community meeting was held to discuss Kenny's petition to re-name a street after Matt, but Teague hijacked the meeting to protest against the war. This outraged Kenny, and he blamed Teague for the subsequent decision not to re-name the street.
Subsequently, Kenny and his friend Ron Gibbons were in a bar where Kenny spotted Teague's car and encouraged Gibbons to vandalize it. Teague went into the bar to call a tow truck and Kenny attacked him outside. So [=McCoy=] agrees a deal with Gibbons to testify against Kenny. Kenny's lawyer, Leon Chiles, tells [=McCoy=] that the defence will allege extreme emotional distress. [=McCoy=] doesn't buy it because Kenny was obviously in enough control to wait till he could get Teague alone outside to kill him.
[=McCoy=] maintains this argument at trial, but Kenny becomes very agitated and breaks down. He says Teague called Matt a criminal, and Kenny just wanted an apology. [=McCoy=] tells the jury that Kenny's military training is what made him an efficient killer: he knew how to stay in control of himself, and ultimately killed Teague with a lethal chokehold he'd learned in the Army. The jury acquits of murder but cannot agree on a manslaughter charge. The judge declares a mistrial, so Kenny is free.
