This episode was just not appealing to me, which is unusual. I thought the story, which takes place in Central Florida, just smacked too much of political correctness and Liberalism: female is innocent; male is to blame; death penalty to kill an innocent person; religious people outside of prison made to look like creeps, etc. Gideon, instead of being his normal objective self, interviewed the woman like she was his long-lost mom, with these sad puppy- dog eyes. It was just ridiculous.
In addition, although the ending did interesting twist to it, the whole thing was too talky. This was the first episode that bored me. Maybe the people who wrote the script should have been sitting in "Sparky's" chair (only kidding).
