Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe doorman from the victim's apartment building asks Briscoe if the NYPD shut down the "Safe and Loft unit." He is referring to the Safe, Loft and Truck Squad which was a special, elite unit of the NYPD originally founded in 1911 to investigate major commercial burglaries, art thefts, truck hijackings and kidnappings. The unit was slowly eliminated starting in 1990 and phased out over the next few years, the reason being that some of the crimes that the unit investigated, like truck hijackings, simply didn't happen nearly as often in the 80's and 90's as they did in the previous decades. Art thefts had also declined sharply and had mostly become the jurisdiction of the FBI; and kidnapping became one of the crimes investigated by the department's then newly formed Major Case Squad, in fact a number of the detectives that had worked in the Safe and Loft unit were transferred over to the Major Case Squad when it was formed.
- GoofsVan Buren says that the Hispanic men from the sexual assault/food stand robbery incident in the park plead out to either robbery or assault (though the ones that grabbed the girl's breasts and tore her clothes off were also guilty of forcible touching) and the most they would get is 18 months in prison. However someone who pleads guilty to robbery would have to do more than 18 months, even for the lowest degree of robbery. The lowest degree of robbery is third degree robbery, a violent class D felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 24 months in prison. Plus assault in the third degree, which is what the men who assaulted the girl would be charged with, is only a class A misdemeanor meaning they couldn't get 18 months in prison, the maximum sentence for a class A misdemeanor is 12 months in jail. Though a couple of the guys who assaulted the girls were also part of the food vendor robbery, meaning they faced a combined sentence of three years in prison for both robbery three and assault three.

Featured review
New York City, the melting pot.
Two lovers were making out in a rowboat on a Central Park lake. The woman was shocked in seeing a body floating on the surface, hardly beaten to death. The victim is a fat girl grew up in Boston and married to a geek guy (Ben Weber). They ran a software company together but their marriage was about to end up due to husband infidelity (he had an affair with a woman definitely more charming than his wife). The divorce would have meant a lot of troubles in the business, probably the company won't manage to survive. An employer and husband's best friend didn't want to lose his job and he was seen by a witness in the crime scene shortly before the murder. He's the prime suspect and a Hispanic guy on the stand point him out as the perp. But that day there was a parade in Central Park, with many Hispanics high on booze and few policemen around, a lot of things could have happened.
It's a tough job prosecute a suspect. It's not the first time detectives arrested the wrong guy: they have to read liars' mind and what seems to be quite clear (by proofs, motive and deposition) was actually further from the truth.
