Serial rapist Lewis Darnell goes up for the third time before the parole board. [=McCoy=], who has attended both prior hearings, denies Darnell has reformed. Despite [=McCoy=]'s efforts, Darnell is released with 12 years of his sentence left to go. Shortly after, a teenager named Teresa Perez is found raped and murdered with no murder weapon or eyewitnesses. Initially the MO looks different from Darnell's, but then it's discovered that Teresa was suffocated with a garbage bag - Darnell is known to enjoy asphyxiating his victims. Furthermore, he lived in the house next door when he was a child, and knew how to get into Teresa's building via the basement.
Evidence mounts that Darnell was planning to rape again, including shaving all his body hair. But there's nothing conclusive that links him to Teresa's murder. The detectives arrest him for parole violation, but a judge releases him on ''habeas corpus'' grounds. So [=McCoy=] tries to have him detained under mental health laws. When that fails, [=McCoy=] subpoenas anyone who has been around Darnell in the six weeks since his release. He also has Darnell put under constant surveillance, and his neighbors informed (under Megan's Law) that he is a convicted rapist.
Darnell's daughter Janeane, with whom he lives, is furious and refuses to believe he's a rapist. Darnell loses his job and tries to change address, but he cannot find anyone willing to accept him. He goes to the ACLU and even applies for an injunction against [=McCoy=], but is denied. Darnell's neighbors make an obviously false claim that he tried to get their young daughter to let him into the house when she was home alone. Schiff orders [=McCoy=] to drop the case, but then they receive a call from the detectives. Janeane has killed Darnell after she walked in on him raping her friend. As they leave the scene, [=McCoy=] tells Ross he's sorry it had to come to this, to which Ross notes he's not all ''that'' sorry.
