Law & Order · Season 22, Episode 9

Price and McCoy in “The System”

Booker never intended to kill anybody. He and Foster were fighting to gain control of the gun. The actual bullet wound wasn't even life-threatening. The CO ultimately died of a secondary infection.

We can't reward Booker because he tried to escape, regardless of his innocence. He should have waited for the process to play itself out.
