Few Law And Order episodes have ever sparked my sense of outrage as this one does. Few also show sometimes the absurdity of some of our drug laws.
Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt catch the shooting of Thomas Guiry and Guiry is less than forthcoming about the circumstances. In fact he lies like a rug. At the same time they learn of the death of a young woman also shot who they piece together was with Guiry.
Cutting to the chase Guiry had been busted for drugs by narcotics detective Jose Zuniga who made the bust go away providing Guiry becomes his unofficial snitch. Guiry was supposed to set up two really bad drug dealers who caught on and shot him and the women.
Is Zuniga responsible? You bet he is. He took a minor narcotics bust because he was trying to make a French Connection type arrest and using this kid who in all likelihood would have been grounded by his parents for years had the original bust gone through.
Sam Waterston wants Zuniga prosecuted. As well he should have been.
Watch and see what you think.
