What did I say earlier? Depending which backgrounds people are from, you see the whole judiciary system on a different light. Had the murderer been a rich white kid shooting people, you'd have the whole police precinct on his/her back and the lawyers and judges pushing for the maximum sentence. Guillermo Diaz's character was trash, and deserved to be flushed out into a garbage bin. Even his lawyer regretted taking his defense at the end, and I was baffled McCoy didn't set the trap of false deal on him, to make him confess and get the conviction he wanted in the first place. Are we lead to believe that poor woman was nothing more than collateral damage?... It's a good Briscoe « centric » episode, but the writers biases spoiled it again.
