Veteran character actor Ned Beatty guests as a longtime judge suffering with a mid-range case of dementia. Though ADA Cutter has a lock on the case - the murder of a wife and mother - being tried, Beatty as the prosecuting judge, has the characteristic trouble with memory which makes for some compelling drama. Beatty equates himself well as the befuddled judge, still trying to hold on to his position and his dignity while Sherry Stringfield is fine as his assistant who has been providing the judge with the necessary "prompting" via a shared computer set-up. The implied relationship between her character and Cutter is intriguing as well.It's too bad the Emmy folk didn't deem Beatty's performance as worthy of an Emmy nomination. He should've gotten one.
