The robbery of an armored car at an OTB parlor leaves two dead security guards and another robber, plus a comatose. They used weapons rigged for full automatic fire. Briscoe and Green follow the leads all the way to a suburban militia, the well-armed New Sons of Liberty. They don't recognize the government's authority and declare themselves [=POWs=]. Phil Christie (Creator/DenisOHare), their leader, decides that he will lead the defense for himself and the rest, with the goal of a hung jury. He succeeds; despite [=McCoy=]'s exhortations in his closing argument, the jury is deadlocked.
