History[]
After Virgil gets arrested for Eli's murder, Cosgrove and Shaw discover that Max told Eli to kick down Virgil's door which caused Virgil to think Eli was a burglar and shoot him. Cosgrove and Shaw then visited Max at his home and takes him down to the precinct. During interrogation, Max claims that he didn't murder Eli but Price insists on getting the video from Max. Max's attorney claims that Max did nothing wrong but Price insists on charging Max with manslaughter. Cosgrove then arrests Max for murder. During arraignment, Maroun wants Max held in contempt without bail and the judge agrees. Maroun then spoke with Max's parents who gave up Jason Wheeler. After opening an investigation into Jason, Max gets offered a deal by Price and Maroun but refuses to testify against Jason. Max's attorney wants all charges dropped if he cooperates but Max refuses and claims that Jason isn't a bad guy cause he made him famous. Later, Cosgrove and Shaw visit Max at his home after he was meant to testify against Jason. Max's parents then decided to take him back to Florida but Cosgrove and Shaw arrest Max as a material witness. After Max refuses to cooperate, Price claims that Max will be charged with manslaughter and imprisoned and Max doesn't care if he gets prosecuted. (L&O: "Almost Famous")
