After ruling out a deejay who threatened the judge during Apocalypto’s sentencing, but admitted it was just an act to sell records, the detectives trace the gun to a bailiff with an erratic record. He claims to have fired the gun in self defense when somebody drove up to him in a silver SUV and attempted to hold him up. The silver SUV was seen at the scene of a few robberies in the area. Later, the owner of a chop shop turns over the silver SUV when he finds Judge Flenner’s ID in it. He puts them on to a pair of carjackers, who serendipitously get caught trying to steal another car.
