Star Crossed
Hal Garber, a Jaguar salesman, is found beaten to death in Harlem. The license used to take the car for a test drive was stolen and now the cops are linking a string of robberies to the homicide. The common link is Tina Montoya (Vanessa Ferlito), who was at a bar when it was held up. Tina ikes nice things and is a neat freak. She is also carrying a $20,000 Sorken bag, which is way out of line with her lifestyle. Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) trace the bag and it turns out to be stolen. Robby Delgado (Chandler Adrian Parker) was the delivery man when the bag disappeared enroute from Paris, and when Robby delivered the box to the store all they found inside were rocks. He is now working at a low rent coffee shop, and when the detectives search his apartment, they find a very expensive painting that was just stolen, the keys to Garber's Jaguar and many stolen wallets. Robby is mentally challenged, so his attorney Dean Conners (Peter Gerety) is looking to make a deal, citing his mental state.
