Synopsis
Worf faces a hearing to determine whether he should be extradited to the Klingon Empire for destroying a civilian ship. While under Klingon attack, Worf ordered the U.S.S. Defiant to fire on a vessel that decloaked in front of it, apparently unaware that it was a Klingon transport until too late. Ch'Pok, the Klingon Advocate, accuses Worf of negligence brought on by his inherent bloodlust. Sisko, Worf's defense counsel, counters that this was a tragic — yet unavoidable — accident. Witnesses implicate Worf, and his life hangs in the balance.
