  • An episode where we are offered to watch a civil term legal battle between Adam Shiff and the governor of the state of New York. Worth watching, especially at the end.moreless

    "Perfect"
    By klecm5af, Jul 16, 2010
    The first, and as far as I am aware, the only episode that focuses on the person of the district attorney Adam Schiff. His early decision to seek the death penalty for a man who shot into a crowd to prevent his buyer from cashing a check is later influenced by the fact Shiff's wife suffered a severe stroke and is being on the life support. However we might think the D.A. shouldn't let his legal mind get overshadowed by his personal life, this is right the contrary here. The defendant clearly didn't deserve the first degree murder and the death penalty and it was only Shiff's wife balancing between life and death that made the D.A. realize that. Losing his wife's life he fought to save another one - the defendant's. A moving moment when we see Adam watch his wife die.moreless

    • FBI Agent: That's Sheikh Abdel-Rahman's group. Rey Curtis: The guy who blew up the World Trade Center? On February 26, 1993, a car bomb exploded in an underground garage at the World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring over 1000. The attack was perpetrated by followers of radical Egyptian cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, who received a life sentence for his part in the attack and for plotting to commit other terrorist acts.

    • This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Angel Diaz case. Governor George Pataki had removed District Attorney Robert Johnson from the case involving Diaz' alleged shooting of New York city police officer Kevin Gillespie and replaced him with State Attorney General Dennis Vacco as he believed Johnson was not seriously seeking the death penalty. Diaz later hung himself in jail while awaiting trial.
