it was entertaining, but I would have to agree with brenda.
Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I’ve never seen it. Does Ron Glass play a dapper, urbane police detective?
That's kind of what I was hoping for, for the Barney Miller flashbacks...
Ron Glass will be in S.H.I.E.L.D., FWIW.
Perception:
If someone else pulls a gun on you, and in the struggle for it, it goes off and kills the person who drew the gun in the first place - shouldn't that be Self-Defense, not "10-20 for Manslaughter"?
Presuming you didn't just break into the gun wielder's home, yes.
Okay, that's what I thought. I mean, plenty of other charges the guy would have been ripe for, but manslaughter didn't sound right to me.
Fanwank: his lawyer settled for manslaughter in the plea deal. I know of at least one RL case of a guy who pleaded manslaughter in a drug deal gone wrong. He could have gotten self-defense, but they had him dead right on the drug dealing part of the crime. That would have had a longer sentence than manslaughter. Not the same situation here, but they might have dropped some of medical specific charges in return for the manslaughter plea. That would have given him slightly more employment options when he finished his sentence. His doctors license is done, but if he is not convicted of malpractice or medical fraud, he might be able to work in some medical capacity in the future.
Good wank, Typo. I like it.
Did anyone watch Broadchurch last night on BBCA? I DVRd it, but haven't gotten to it yet.
