LAW & ORDER --(10:00PM-11:00PM) --(TV-14)

"The Brotherhood"

PAROLED GANG MEMBER'S MURDER POINTS TO FEARFUL CORRECTIONS OFFICER -- When a recently paroled prison gang member is found shot to death, Detectives Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) suspect former crime associates until they discover that the victim had a running battle in prison with a hard-nosed corrections officer -- who had every reason to fear retaliation once the inmate was released. But once A.D.A. McCoy (Sam Waterston) decides to prosecute, he runs up a slippery slope when the defense attorney claims his client was only taking preemptive action to stave off an imminent threat by the con and his neo-Nazi gang. S. Epatha Merkerson, Fred Dalton Thompson and Serena Southerlyn also star.
