The defendant looked hinky from the getgo in this one. Caught doing 95 on the turnpike, and still late to the seminar? It also seemed like the judge favored the local scion family over the immigrant Russian bride in his rulings, although there was valid legal basis. And even though the decedent's brother came all the way from the homeland only to blow it on the witness stand, it turned out to be a favorable outcome. In the real world, there would have been plaintiffs' civil attorneys crawling all over him trying to corner the market on the potential wrongful death action!
It was nice to see Harm, ahem I mean ADA James Conlon, back in the saddle in the courtroom again. It was also nice to see him looking out for his investigator Ray Blackwell, insisting on his seeing the primo cardiologist in NYC. But I wonder what favors Conlon was able to call in so that Maureen got to handle the appeal on Annabeth's dead husband's case. Didn't he just get here 6 months ago from NY?moreless
