Paige Bartlett dies in hospital after a severe beating. The detectives begin looking into her wealthy, well-connected ex-boyfriend Ned Loomis. DNA evidence proves he had sex with the victim before she died, and Stone quickly learns Loomis has a violent temper; but there isn't much more to go on with, until he finds out that an old girlfriend named Elise Brody once brought assault charges against Loomis. Brody reveals that Loomis violently attacked her when she refused sex. However, she can't testify because a defendant's previous behavior isn't admissible as evidence.
In court, the defence tries to sway the jury by portraying Paige as very promiscuous. Schiff tells Stone to grant a plea deal, but Stone refuses; Loomis would only get three years in jail. The judge declines Stone's request to let Brody testify, so instead, he introduces her to Loomis' fiancee Rebecca. Rebecca testifies that Loomis told her he'd hurt Paige, but claimed it was an accident. The jury convicts.
