A child's body is found at a construction site. Evidence shows that two girls, ages 10 and 13, may have witnessed portions of the crime. However, as the investigation gets deeper, the possibility grows that these young kids may have actually been responsible for the murder themselves. Written by Anonymous
Years from now, people will still be asking Hallee Hirch about the character of Jenny Brandt, which she so brilliantly defined. I agree an award should have been given her for this episode. So help me, I found her more frightening than Patty Mcormanck in "The Bad Seed."
If you have NOT seen it, do not read further. If so, go ahead:
I had to agree with Slocum and McCoy. Jenny is, in one's words, "a textbook serial killer." Lock the rotten little bitch up, and throw away the key. The last shot shows McCoy is right.
One criticism with the script was its stacking too much Jenny's lower class, trash background. Sderial killers can come from here, but they can also hail from the upper classes. Another thing--the case was gender biased. The perp was a cute little girl. The judge, defense attorney, and Dr. Olivett were women. I can't help but wonder--IF Jenny had been a boy, who murdered a small girl, what would have been the cause. Damn sure he would have gotten a stronger sentence.
Women get away with everything, and this episode illustrates that. It also shows people can't see beyond cuteness to true evil. I say bring Hallee, 11 years later, back as Jenny, and see how she has turned out. I guarantee Hallee will do another excellent job, but Jenny will not have improved any. She will only have gotten worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
