Even though the episode had the usual plot twists that L&O is so good at, it lacked originality. It was so obviously an O.J. knockoff that most everything was expected. I'm not that practiced at law, but it seems if there was jury tampering, in this case a bribe to one of the original jurors and it could be proven (which was admitted to), then the original acquittal would have been thrown out and the defendant not only retried for his wife's original murder, but the new murder as well.
Regardless of this, it was a decent episode even if you knew what the outcome was going to be. They made the defendant to unlikeable not to be found guilty. I am still a big L&O fan.
