Law & Order: The Secret Sharers (1991)
Season 1, Episode 18
12 people knew he was guilty and freed him anyway, hypocracy at its highest
9 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
No wonder human societies went and keep going downhill, hypocracy will always be our downfall. Economy, ecology, constitution, moral, even religion, we read them as it pleases us. We have set rules that should favour the society we live in, then start bending them as we wish. If rules no longer work, challenge them, do not excuse the breaking of them.

Screenplay was unusually weak this episode, the lack of real exploration of the 'moral' vs. Legal issue presented was a huge miss. A judge who would allow the emotional manipulation and not overthrow the verdict (it was shown in other cases) is just useless. Revenge cannot be a justification for murder. Self defence is already a shady zone.
