Sure, but is it a good deal for the individual innocent of a crime? I understand our justice system would essentially collapse without plea bargains but it doesn't make me anymore fond of the practice.

Definitely though I don't feel it's right to require an individual to waive part of their 5th and 6th amendment rights including the right to a jury trial. Plea bargains are inherently coercive because the prosecution holds such immense power over the accused. I don't think a deal made out of fear or a lack of funds…

That's what made me laugh (while cringing). On some level she knows she's a piece of shit.

True. I can see why Crowe would be thrilled with the manslaughter plea. From what evidence we know, that is definitely a big "win". But I am boggled as to why she and the firm would stay on through a very expensive trial. Damn, I gotta stop commenting when I'm drunk…

Ah, didn't catch that part. Don't give a shit then.

Ahmed has great presence. He's said less than - what? - two hundred words and I'm so riveted by him. It's all in the eyes…

I had to give a big up to your hashtag!

She doesn't want to lose. To many a plea is still considered a "win". In actuality it is a lose-lose situation. But it would be in Crowe's best interest to go to trial in order to maintain a high profile publicly - what with all the publicity and all.

Couldn't hear much of the dialogue but I imagine that it casts more guilt upon him. At least according to the rules of television!

Me too and I think the nature of the plea bargain (and Nas and his family speaking of it) was something that should've gotten more attention within the series. Certainly more so than Stone's latest trip to a doctor to speak of his eczema.

Stone was a "grey" enough character already. Having him exchange legal representation for sex with a client is a step out of bounds though. Unethical and disgusting…

Did I imagine little Carmine from The Sopranos popping up as a journalist in this episode ??

If it's not addressed by Stone, or someone else, by the time trial comes around, I'll find the lack of blood on Naz's clothes to be a huge oversight. But there's certainly enough evidence at this point, especially from Box's POV, for Naz to be charged.

Could not agree more. I honestly don't give a toss if we ever find out what happened, if Naz is guilty or who the killer actually is if Naz is in fact telling the truth of his innocence. Andrea's murder was merely a catalyst for an examination for far more interesting topics than another "whodunit?" would explore.

I loved the little scene when the night desk sergeant's shift ends. He closes his book, takes off his glasses, puts them in their case and leaves. Enter the next desk sergeant who steps up, puts on his glasses, opens the book…and so it goes.

I chuckled a bit here and there but overall thought it was an extremely boring episode. Granted I fell asleep for about 5-10 minutes so maybe I missed some great stuff. I was bummed because I actually like when VeeP and TToI have played with format (the inquiry episodes). This was just way off to me and I too missed…

Plot twist… GO Gators!

It was so spot on. And you just know that Erlich was even more high out of his mind after that scene!

Erlich's constant coughing after his massive bong rip during the scene where he points out that, now, Revega have a price point thanks to Endframe/Gavin Belsen made me laugh insanely throughout the scene. Made even more rich by the stoners I watched coughing their lunch up endlessly after watching the latest episode…

Does anyone know how much Erlich sold Aviato for originally? I laughed my ass off at him pooling a mere $36k to Big Head's $20bil. Not that $36k is anything to sniff at of course! But I imagine Erlich's spent a lot of his payoff from the Aviato acquisition on…glasswear - if you will. Of course $36,000 in cash or even…
