It's fairly obvious that Bernard Goetz the subway vigilante was the inspiration for this story. If you'll recall that was the inoffensive looking man whom four thugs decided to hassle on the IRT. He was packing a weapon and was going to be ready when these four picked on him.
Goetz might have walked completely if he hadn't pumped an extra bullet into one of them while he was prone. That reversed Goetz's role from hero to perpetrator in an instant.
Something similar happens here as two brothers rob Greek immigrant Adam Arkin's store and pay with their lives. Forensics yields a similar story to Goetz.
It's this that catches Chris Noth's attention and later Paul Sorvino who was initially a supporter of Arkin gets converted. It won't be any easier for Michael Moriarty to get a conviction than it was for the NY County DA for the real Goetz.
