Framing a Guilty Man - Law & Order

[@karenhawkin4588]

So the cop was all guilt-ridden because he was responsible for Grimms getting away with the murder of the 16-year-old so he frames him for another murder. But...well, what about the person who ACTUALLY murdered the other woman?! What happened to him?! Didn't THAT guy just get away with murder?!

[@karenhawkin4588]

@@jamespoledna2693 at the risk of waaaaay overanalyzing a plotline to a fictional TV show :), your statement has some glaring issues imo. First, you're suggesting that getting justice for victim #1 is more important than getting justice for victim #2. (They didn't even have a chance to figure that murder out!) Second, you're suggesting that the sentence given to the framed murderer for murder #2 qualifies as justice for murder #1. Since murder #2 wasn't even really investigated, there's no way possible anyone can know that. Maybe buddy would have only gotten like 2 years for the other murder, instead of the 20 he ended up serving. Hell, maybe buddy didn't do it at all and there's a reason why he had the knife and it was a false/coerced confession. That's highly, highly unlikely but without investigating (and without a trial!), no one really knows. Third, if this happened irl, upon release the framed murderer guy would end up winning millions of dollars after suing for wrongful imprisonment and there would be tons of news stories about how he's innocent i.e. totally NOT a murderer at ALL. There's also that ol' "the cop isn't the judge, jury and executioner" argument, but that's stupid so I'll leave well enough alone. :)

I always pay attention to the background. I notice that in many episodes, Jack is always paying for the delivery lunch for others 🥪🌮🍕

[@ergogrrl]

Believe it or not, that might be based on a real life requirement. Many government/public agencies have ethics rules against lower level employees giving money to higher level. E.g. if my boss and I go out to lunch, either we can pay for our own meals or Boss can pay for my meal, but I’m not allowed to pay for Boss’s meal. It’s one of those tiny details that lends authenticity to the setting. Though if law shows wanted to add real authenticity, they’d stop implying that you can go from arrest to trial in less than a year. 🤷🏽‍♀️

A lawyer can make an argument sure, but it's not a get out of jail free card for everyone he put away. A lawyer would actually have to prove the cop did something illegal for his other cases. There would likely be very few cases that may get a retrial if any. Its only a real nightmare scenario if a lawyer can prove he has been doing this for multiple cases.
