Very risky script...
But after some uncomfortable moments they pull it out of the fire.
The risk is setting up a story about not one but two cases that have nothing to do with justice and everything to do with personal conflicts which goes against the very notion of a legal system -- think of two gunslingers in a western have a showdown ... just to make a point?
If the viewer can get by the above contradiction then the story does raise interesting issues about friendship, relationships, and honor - but not one of the best.
One of the riskiest scripts -- and not quite the home run the writers expected.
