I think that was one of the more culture shocky things in season 1. (The smoking - all the time particularly with the pregnant neighbor.)

L&O:CI - I REALLY would have liked to have seen the other half of this episode. I mean when you say that "mother kills for child" - mostly you think she'll get off - but this was a variation on the Texas Cheerleader thing where the mother killed to get her kid into the right pre-school so that he wouldn't be the outsider that she was. The trial would/could have been interesting.

They used to at least show bits of hearings or trials, but I believe Courtney Vance is no longer with the show.

I don't they go to trial on a lot of things because the actual case they have is so flimsy. A good lawyer could blow these things out of the water. That's probably why there's always the big "You got me, OK? I did it!" scene. I want to see a perp with the guts to say, "Prove it in a court of law".

Did you see this episode? She's got the teacher and the headmistress of the school hostage - and the kids in the classroom. Even if (for some reason) they can't prove that she murdered the three parents (and they have the ballistic proof) - surely that is against the law?

I don't think there would have been much doubt in this one. The title of this episode of CI was very funny. It was "Please Note: We Are No Longer Accepting Letters of Recommendation from Henry Kissinger." In the show, one character says that this school is so exclusive that there were children with letters of recommendation from Henry Kissinger.

Don't you want to see how her attorney was going to defend her?

I miss Courtney Vance. There was an attempt to have an ADA presence after he was gone, but it was just painful.

Was that when they imported an attorney from one of the other L&Os?

They surely could find somebody to cast in that role.

Where would I have seen Hugh Dillon before?

Was the new guy from something I might have seen? (And the female sniper looked familiar too.)
