They attack Hardin, but the hitman, disguised as a police officer, arrives and kills both of them before they can kill Hardin. However, Hardin has stumbled across their illegal drug operation, and they don't believe him. Hardin decides to make an effort to stop Monk and Cooms from being killed, so he tracks them down in an abandoned warehouse and attempts to warn them. Hardin makes it clear that he does not accept their reasoning, and Caulfield warns him to back down because the members of the group will do whatever they have to in order to protect themselves. They argue that Monk and Cooms are clearly criminals who are guilty of numerous other crimes, even if they are not guilty of the specific crime for which the group convicted them. They tell Hardin that, although an occasional mistake is inevitable and regrettable, what they are doing still serves society's greater good. For the judges' protection, there is a cut-out between them and the assassin they do not know who he is, and he doesn't know who they are. Realizing that he and the Star Chamber have just sentenced Monk and Cooms to die for a crime that they did not commit, Hardin implores the Star Chamber to recall the assassin, but is told by the other judges that the hit cannot be canceled. While at a party, Hardin learns about the new evidence. Police detective Harry Lowes ( Yaphet Kotto) learns from a car thief named Stanley Flowers that three men were actually responsible for the crime. Lewin has committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills while in jail, Hardin contracts the assassin to murder Monk and Cooms. As there is a vacancy present (one of the judges, James Culhane, had committed suicide earlier), Hardin participates in two of the Star Chamber proceedings, and the assassin is dispatched to kill two other unrelated murderers who were released on technicalities despite their own confessions. Outraged, Hardin visits his friend, Judge Caulfield ( Hal Holbrook), who tells him of the existence of a modern-day Star Chamber, a group of judges that identifies criminals who cannot be brought to justice through the judicial system, and takes action against them using a hired assassin. Lewin, Hardin learns that another boy had been discovered by the police, raped and murdered in the same manner as Daniel. Harold Lewin, attempts to shoot Monk and Cooms in court, but misses and shoots one of the arresting officers instead Dr. Hardin becomes even more distraught when Daniel's father, Dr. Since the traffic stop was illegal, based on the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine, Hardin has no choice but to exclude any evidence discovered as a result of the traffic stop, including the bloody shoe. However, the reason for stopping the van turned out to be spurious: the paperwork was actually submitted on time (it was merely processed late). They also claimed to have smelled marijuana, and then saw a bloody shoe inside the van. After checking the license plate for violations, the officers pulled the van over for expired paperwork. The police officers suspected that the van's occupants might be burglars. The suspected child murderers, Lawrence Monk and Arthur Cooms, attracted the attention of two police officers when they were driving slowly late at night. The second and third are two men who were accused of raping and killing a young boy named Daniel Lewin as part of a suspected child pornography ring. The first is a man who was charged with murdering several elderly women for their welfare money. Judge Steven Hardin ( Michael Douglas) is an idealistic Los Angeles judge who becomes frustrated when the technicalities of the law prevent the prosecution of three criminals.
