While the jury is deliberating, I shall take this opportunity to express my gratitude to *you* for posting these clips. I would extend such gratitude to those in the comments for continuing in the debate and appreciation for this show. To those celebrating this *Thanksgiving:* May you have a enjoyable and peaceful time. I send warm greetings to all from the Emerald Isle! ☘ Stay Safe! 👍

Note how Sinclair never says that Marino himself was an organized crime figure who had ordered a contract killing (first degree murder). Sinclair doesn't want to lose all future mafia defense lawyer gigs.

[@thefrase7884]

Nah….not how it works. Their own lawyers are on the payroll.

[@YD-uq5fi]

@@thefrase7884 Sinclair was Giardella's lawyer too. You don't understand the arrangement.

[@DrKO2453]

This was better than a lot of real trials I sat in on in the Bronx LOL

[@jamesbowman8138]

You must have sat in on many hubcap and car stereo thefts

[@jeffreynegron2708]

Excellent acting and storytelling. Abrams knew he was toast.

[@skwisgarskwigelf7191]

Holy shit is the prosecutor Shaky the Mohel from that episode or Seinfeld?

[@claymac7895]

Good eye my fellow Seinfeld fanatic.

[@gheller2261]

He should've won an Emmy for that.

[@studinthemaking]

This is the BEST DA they could find to prosecute this case? I don’t think they wanted to win.

[@KeithFroehlich07]

Haywood couldn't close an umbrella

[@yospilner]

Jack McCoy would’ve gotten a conviction

[@studinthemaking]

@@yospilner and had a hot female assistant

[@crupert23225]

Thank you for posting. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

[@YD-uq5fi]

It is weird that Sinclair is defending Licalsi against Marino's survivors, when just earlier he was Giardella's lawyer. Isn't Sinclair always on the side of the mafia? Or is it just a question of who pays his retainer fee and gets an engagement letter signed first?

[@TheStuport]

I've always had a problem with "Vigilantism" being used in this case. I felt the killings were done out of sheer Survival instincts. At the very moment she has decide to live, it was done on instinct and not because of extending circumstances. Just my take. Cheers From Ohio

[@ruscopcoltrain]

I guess after the prosecutor lost this trial, he decided to become a mohel…

[@BobbyTucker]

He's good, Portraying a great Defense Attorney is his 'niche'.

[@paulgrimm]

That guy played a perfect lawyer .All about money

[@ianbellis7064]

Doesn't Andy at one point, when told what she was confessing, say, "then I say run her for office?"

[@joen0411]

This show isn’t really centered around trials so I pretty much wasn’t concerned about it but I never really liked it. Not sure if this was needed as part of writing Kelly off the show or it would have still happened if he stayed on. I’m glad they didn’t do anything like this again.

[@ChrisCosat]

I think Kelly's exit is the only reason they went this route.

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

I have always wondered what would have happened if Caruso stayed with the show. Would this legal battle have continued throughout season 2? Would they have found a way to keep Amy Brenneman on the show?

[@darrenheadrick3669]

David Carusso left the show of his own accord to get into movies. He won an Emmy for his role in NYPD in the first season and thought he was ready for "Hollywood". As for Bremamann, they were going to keep her as a main character and then realized she was a convict killer and former cop and the producer and director thiught it would hurt the show.

[@YD-uq5fi]

How can Janice even be alive if she killed high-ranking Made Men in the mafia?

[@darrenheadrick3669]

From what I remember from this series and the episodes revolving around this situation, the "mafia" didn't want to draw anymore attention to themselves by killing Janice. Marino was made buy he wasn't high enough up the ladder to risk bigger involvement of the NYPD or worse federal agencies.

[@podmonkey2501]

Ooooooh "hollowpoint shells" oooohhhh, scary scary! Be afraid and ignorant, convict convict!
