Many of the first 10 seasons of Law and Order produced some true classic episodes, but this was not one of them. Jack McCoy scheming is classic McCoy, but at the expense of Lenny and Ray? That is not how one of the best attorneys in history would behave.
I never really liked Benjamin Bratt on the show. In my opinion Jerry Orbach and Jesse L. Martin were the best detective duo on the show, and those led to the best episodes. This was an okay installment, but they tried to do too much (robbery, cop killing, killing cop killer, bending the law) in one show.moreless
The cops' best hope of finding a kidnapped hired car driver alive is one of the armed robbers who grabbed him after a job, but the immunity deal he demands in return would effectively preclude his prosecution for the shooting death of an off-duty cop, placing McCoy in a difficult position as he seeks to placate the cops, who want the guy prosecuted, and the kidnapped man's wife, who wants every avenue of saving her husband explored.moreless

QUOTES (10)
ADD QUOTES-
(During a motion hearing in judge's chambers)
Jack McCoy: These circumstances are extraordinary. Enforcing that prohibition would be against the interest of justice.
Defense Attorney: I am not aware the legislators passed an amendment saying that the law doesn't apply if Jack McCoy doesn't like it. -
Adam Schiff: He confessed to a murder to avoid being prosecuted for a murder? I'm putting this one in my memoirs.
-
Lennie Briscoe: (searching a suspect's home) We're still waiting for a warrant, so don't open any drawers not large enough to store a hostage.
-
Dennis Harp: That's a misdemeanor.
Lennie Briscoe: So you're a lawyer now? Rey, why don't you take him outside and show him how much we like lawyers tonight? -

Rey Curtis: 5:15.
Lennie Briscoe: Good morning, America. -
