But the one that always gets to me is "Terminal" from season 7, where DA Adam Schiff battles the governor and during that same time, his wife suffers a stroke and dies at the end. The ending is just gut wrenching and hard to forget once you've seen it.

Normally, the point of the trial is that the prosecution has to prove that the defendant in fact committed the crime, but in this episode, that's not at issue. He freely admitted he did it, but asserted a justification defense. Essentially, what he's claiming is that he did it, butJennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412211079606886638.post-38724955401978611442009-10-27T15:03:44.109-04:002009-10-27T15:03:44.109-04:00John, here is that section you wanted:

The subject although done before felt fresh, because you really got the impression that all the characters really had an opinion on the issue, some even had a change of heart.

His comment was a shallow observation, the equivalent of saying "Wow, I guess cancer makes you sick."

On the contrary I took his comment as one of disgust that she is going through such a tough time and he had a twinge of anger towards her getting the illness in the first place, not a dismissal of her in general.
