Episode Title: "Defenseless"
Original Air Date: 12/09/1997
Harm's skills as a lawyer are challenged when he defends a female ensign accused of murdering an officer. She confessed to the crime, but claims that it was done in self-defense.
No weapon was found on the officer's body, but Mac and Harm believe the ensign's story and help her remember forgotten details of the event.
A female ensign claims self-defense after shooting and killing a Turkish military attaché for whom she worked. But her claim is based solely upon her intuition. Meanwhile, Bud temporarily moves in with Sims.
Harm's skills as a lawyer are challenged when he defends a female ensign who claims she murdered an officer because her "instincts" told her he meant to hurt her.
The ensign claims that when the officer entered her apartment on false pretenses, she felt threatened by him and killed in self-defense. Though the defense is decidedly thin -- no weapon was even found on the man's body -- Mac and Harm decide to stick with the case and are determined to help the ensign remember forgotten details of the event.
An ensign accused of murder claims self-defense based on a gut feeling.
