When the sixteen-year-old Astrea Crawford is found in an alley with ripped clothes and painted with offenses, Detective Greevey and Logan go to the hospital to interview Astrea but she refuses to talk. Logan convinces her to write the name of the molesters and she writes White Cops. Soon, the opportunist Congressman Ronald Eaton inflames the situation with speeches to the media and to the black population. Cragen, Greevey and Logan have no means to investigate, the FBI assumes the case that become political. Bu Stone and Robinette proceed the investigation and learns the truth about what has happened to Astrea.

"Out of the Half-Light" is a great episode of "Law & Order", with a strange racist situation caused by a black teenager. In the end, the D. A.'s succeed to find the truth after the damages caused to the police and to the justice system. It is funny how the racism that always existed in the United States is exported to other societies that have never been racist, but now have similar black movements. Sad example of globalization. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Fora das Sombras" ("Out of the Shadows")
