Andre Blair is a music producer and a suspect in the murder of Clarisse "Sweet" James, a rapper under his employment. Sweet's mister, diamond seller Isaac Krantz, blamed Blair, said Blair threatened him and his family, an was behind a stabbing Krantz suffered while in prison custody while he was the prime suspect.
Blair for a time faced scrutiny and suspicion from the prosecution, until it was revealed Krantz was the killer and lied about Blair, even playing an inmate to harm Krantz as part of the frame job. Blair angrily blamed the prosecution for being racist, McCoy honestly agreeing with his accusation, albeit without him present. (L&O: "Bling")
