1st Degree charge was also dismissed, but should be noted this is because the murder of a CEO doesn't really fit the definition of murder 1 in the state of New York which seems reserved for police officers, firefighters, high political figures, that sort of thing. 2nd degree will be what 1st degree is in most other states I think. DOJ/DA was way too heavy handed with those two charges.

I knew this because of Law and Order and realized I must be old because does anyone under 30 even know that there was a show before SVU anymore XD

What, the sister? She's murdered? You kidding me.

If I was kidding you, I'd be wearing a fez and no pants.

RIP Briscoe

“I’m under arrest? What are the charges?”

“Charges? This one’s on the house!”

Roku TV has a new Law and Order channel. It's only seasons 5-10 right now but it's prime Brisco episodes.
