One of the men killed while holding up an armored truck bears a distinctive tattoo of an eagle. This leads the detectives to a militant militia group, who declare themselves "prisoners of war" when rounded up by the police. One of the group's members (Denis O'Hare), appointing himself counsel for his comrades, demands that the jury enter a not guilty plea on the basis that the laws broken were "unjust" -- with surprising results.
