Carey Lowell makes a return appearance as Jamie Ross on this Law And Order
episode. Now she sees the process from the other side as she is now a part
time defense attorney.
This all begins when Jerry Orbach and Jesse Martin catch a case involving another defense attorney shot to death. Their investigation leads to one horrible miscarriage of justice as the deceased had evidence that a client of his was serving time in prison for murdering a woman who discovered him burlgarizing her home.
The original trail made the career of Richard Masur then an ADA and now a judge. When evidence is brought to him that he erred he refuses to admit anything.
The criminal justice system and the people who serve in it,never like to admit error in life or on TV. Part of our litigious society I guess. Carey Lowell is in a real pickle because she is an ethical person. Still she violates those sacred canons of ethics the Bar Association has laid out in the interest of justice.
The real perpetrator Gordon Joseph Weiss is a walking cadaver without a shred of conscience or evidence of a soul. A very chilling portrayal
It was also interesting to see Lowell and her successor Angie Harmon working the opposite ends and the dynamic therein in their performances. Nicely done by both of them.
