Maybe I missed it, but I never quite understood why homicide detectives Briscoe and Logan were interested in the case of a tennis prodigy whose hand gets broken... a la the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding scandal.
This is a forgettable episode, one that involves more soapy twists than legal or dramatic ones. Even though it's just a TV show, I couldn't help but feel like the fictional prosecutor's office would be better serving the city by expending their resources elsewhere.
Even Steven Hill's closing lines at the end of the show seem to reinforce the triviality of this episode.
Keep an eye out for the typically serious EADA Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty) cracking a genuine smile right before the closing credits - that's something unique, at least!
