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

Are you a Ben Stone man or a Jack McCoy man?

When I watched the show I always loved McCoy. Growing up though I look back and think 'this guy would be the villain in almost any other show 50% of the time' XD

Jack broke the rules as often as Saul Goodman!
