Five minutes into this latest episode of "Reality Does Not Apply Here", and it's already jumped the shark.
Any deputy district attorney who informed a jury that the defendant was convicted before, but had his case reversed "on a technicality", would see her trial declared a mistrial immediately. Any deputy district attorney who also informed the jury that she had done the first trial, and would continue to retry him until he was convicted, would be at least suspended and possibly disbarred. And NO court would allow a deputy medical examiner (Jordan, natch) to sit on that same jury, since she not only testifies for the prosecution in murder cases, but is hopelessly conflicted as a matter of law.
Welcome to "Crossing Jordan", a fantasy land where M. E.s interrogate suspects, deputy M. E.s routinely work crime scenes, and everyone sleeps with each other. Seriously, it's a wonder there's a police department at all since all law enforcement seems to consist of deputy M. E.s. (The police department also performs the function of supplying studly young cops for Jordan to sleep with.)
Business as usual for this horrid piece of schlock.
