Jeff York (Dean Strange) is found strangled to death in a neighborhood frequented by prostitutes. With his wallet missing, It looks like a trick gone wrong. The victim turns out to be an Assistant District Attorney from the Bronx, someone Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) has dated. At first, Benson and Stabler (Chris Meloni) think he was killed because of a case he was prosecuting; the defendant, Alvarez (Carlos Pizarro), threatened him in open court but his alibi checks out. A condom with lipstick stains was found at the scene, but on closer examination, it turns out to have been staged.
