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

"Boys Will Be Boys"

PROSECUTORS MUST FIND THE ONE REAL MURDERER WHEN FATHER AND SON CONFESS TO KILLING A TRANSVESTITE -- Prosecutors Kibre (Bebe Neuwirth) and Gaffney (Amy Carlson) are stymied when a young man (guest star Victor Rasuk) confesses to killing a transvestite upon discovering that the "she" was a "he" -- just before the suspect's controlling father (guest star Giancarlo Esposito) also admits that he pummeled the victim to death in self-defense. Besides being whipsawed between two divergent confessions, the suspicious assistant D.A.s can't seem to turn one against the other, prompting a determined Kibre to reach into her legal bag of tricks to force the issue in court. Kirk Acevedo, Fred Dalton Thompson and Scott Cohen ("NYPD Blue") also star.
