I, too, am a huge L&O fan. The knock-offs aren't really L&O. The schtick of L&O is the first half is the police investigating and the second half the prosecutors in court. The first half establishes certainty and the second half brings up all the doubt. I was horrified at this episode. It was awful. A C grade is a kindness, based, I assume, on its 20-year reputation, but the show has sunk below water. The following episodes are just as bad. I must also point out the defense attorney opened the door for the confession by directly asking Det. Cosgrove about how he knew where the gun was. She opened the door to the answer. Even IF the prosecutors had stipulated to not introducing the confession, something I agree is utterly implausible, they can't bind the witness from answering the question honestly and truthfully. The ADA didn't ask about it, the defense did. They can't then complain they got a truthful answer. Why would the defense ever ask that stupid question!?! Me, this L&O is a solid F and the rest barely get above D.
