Virgil's first Sparta homicide
bkoganbing2 February 2021
This episode is a continuation of the first episode as Howard Rollins and Carroll O'Connor have two related murders on their hands, the original one of a white teenage girl and the black boy who was found hung in the Sparta jail.

Rollins may have he homicide expertise, but Carroll O'Connor knows his town and its people. They find themselves making a good team.

Some good guest star performances from Kevin McCarthy the first of Sparta's rich and powerful brought down in this series and from Doug Savant as his spoiled son. Both carrying over from the first part.

And some of the rest of the folks of Sparta are introduced to us as well.

I'm Confused...
soozin28 April 2022
The actors in this double episode don't all show up in the credits: Where's Lois Nettleton's name? Also, The actress who plays "Marie Babineaux"? (I recognize her, she's a beautiful model whose name I can't remember. Also the the dead guy slumped over his desk..who played him, and what was his name? Several others don't seem accounted for in the credits, including the young carnival punks. What's up with that?
