Featured review
In the strictest sense of the word
Back in the day when Law And Order prime had a whole different set of regulars except for Steven Hill one of the episodes involved the assassination of the head of African American Congress. Now Adam Schiff has been handed a case. Now the guy who succeeded the assassinated predecessor has been shot and wounded and a bodyguard killed. The number one suspect is the son of the predecessor.
The suspect Chris McKinney has delved heavily into some radical politics courtesy of his girlfriend Michelle Hurd. But what he doesn't know about her and neither does Sam Waterston is that she's a professional informant for the FBI. And in saying informant I mean in the strictest sense of the word, she's making good money at it.
A murder has been committed and Waterston does what he has to do to see it through. But his ideas of justice don't coincide with Ron Jones the intended victim who was wounded. In fact the deeper the DA's office digs the odor becomes more and more intense. Mostly from Michelle Hurd's direction.
Everybody looks bad here.
