8/10
Corrupt Justice System
17 November 2021
When the decomposed corpse of a woman is found floating in Hudson River, Detectives Briscoe and Green are assigned to investigate the case. They learn that the woman is Mrs. Marchetti that was divorcing her husband Gene Marchetti with the notorious lawyer Ravi Patel. When Gene intends to travel abroad with his daughter Lena, he becomes their prime suspect. But soon District Attorneys Jack McCoy and Serena Southerly believe there is a judge taking bribes from a ring of divorce lawyers, including Ravi Patel, and the investigation proceeds.

"Floater" is another great episode of "Law & Order", disclosing corruption in the NY Justice System. Unfortunately, the justice system is corrupted in many countries where judges are not subject to laws and treated like gods. In Brazil, corrupt judges, when proved, are usually sentenced to compulsory retirement with all salaries and benefits. Seems to be unbelievable, but it is true. My vote is eight.
