A truly tragic event, a man stabbed to death while proposing to his fiancé and the diamond ring taken by a homeless man while his homeless friend watches.
But a couple of truly stupid rulings by the trial judge and the Court of Appeals threaten this verdict. Civil liberties attorney Michael Tolan takes up the cause of the murderer Stuart Rudin because Paul Sorvino and Chris Noth did not get a search warrant for the bushes in Central Park this man calls home.
This is the kind of case that would make cops and prosecutors just throw in the towel. The wonder is that Tolan really believes he's won a great victory for civil liberties. Rudin is one really evil dude as well.
Matthew Cowles is outstanding as the other homeless guy who is really non compas mentus. His scenes in and out of court with Michael Moriarty are outstanding.
One of the best early episodes.
