Last Minute Evidence - Law & Order 

Netflix needs to snatch these series and I will be a very loyal customer. This show is a gold mine.

He gets found not guilty in this episode but found guilty in a later episodes. He was so good they brought him back. Great character.

This was what was so good about this show, sometimes the evidence was inconclusive, and sometimes you could just flat disagree with the jury's verdict.

My favorite lineup. Logan, Briscoe, McCoy and Kincaid. Dobson was such a creep. He reappears later after he killed wife #2, but by then Logan was in Staten Island.

Of all the 20 years of L&O, Logan & Briscoe were my all-time favorite detective duo, and Stone & Robinette and McCoy & Kincaid were my favorite legal duos.

I really love the writing at the end of this one: the new evidence is enough to cast further doubt on the alleged innocence, yet still not enough to meet the burden of proof required of the state. I think most shows would have gone over the top there, bit L&O really did it right, just an absolute classic.

I would love to see these earlier series in full they were brilliant.

Love how they say "jury will disregard" but as someone who's never been on jury duty... Do they ever "disregard"?

Dobson got away scott free with the murder of Wife #1... then he flew too close to the sun and killed Wife #2 which had a much less... favorable... outcome.

One of my favorite crime shows. I can watch Law and Order all day.

7:17 “McCoy you have to see this” as he hands him the tape. cuts back to him with the tape playing it 😂

If it makes anybody feel better there's a later episode where a woman gets murdered and it's discovered that she was Dobsons second wife. Exactly the same as his first wife except this time he's already got a new fiance lined up while they're in court. McCoy tells her "how long do you think you'll last before you're his third dead wife?" and she helps him get evidence that finally convicts the guy.

That's what was so good about this show, sometimes, not always, just often enough, there was genuinely reasonable doubt.

Larry Miller...another comedic genius that holds more than his own in this dramatic presentation!

"Ya gotta see this." That guy is one hell of a ventriloquist.

The ending was such a punch in the gut... brilliant

The series need to come back to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu

This show was brilliant in it's day, and even today

This was a great episode. Had enough to wonder if he was guilty or not. Next season they get Dobson though.

Netflix needs to snatch these series and l will be a very loyal customer. This show is a gold mine.

These videos are awesome, in no small part because they are remastered and of such high quality. I've been watching Law & Order since the first season, and I thoroughly enjoy your RU-vid channel.

The actor who played ADA Robinette had ONE look, always Pensive about EVERYTHING🤣. I only got to see his range as an actor while he was on BOSCH. Btw anyone else remember Det. Max Greevy? Also loved Paul Sorvino on the show👍🏽

I love this show! Probably watched every episode at least 5x. Man, I remember when they used to have marathons on tv and I would be glued to the couch. Btw I just found out about a podcast called These Are Their Stories. Great stuff!

The best crime drama bar none

I love these two, one of best duo: Logan n Briscoe McCoy n Kinkaid Robinette n stone

I like every one of Jack McCoy’s neckties: mainly the striped ones, and the knitted burgundy or dark red one. The red tie with the navy blue and yellow stripes is my most favorite.

Man, I love this show! First time I ever saw it I was 12, traveling across the country moving from the East coast to the West. I saw it in the motel room with my twin brother, and in the just the opening minutes, I was HOOKED. But... what kept me as a fan forever was about halfway through the episode, when the whole show's focus switched over to the prosecutors! I'd never seen a show broken down like that; I grew up on Perry Mason reruns and Matlock, or cop shows. This was the first show I saw that did both, and did them both amazingly well! And I have to admit... I loved this show because they didn't always win at the end; sometimes you were just left wondering, like this.

The jury should know right off the bat that Larry Miller is guilty because he never plays a good or innocent guy on TV or in the movies🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even from the early days McCoy knew how to get what he wanted. Also swear I’ve seen that defendant in SVU

I've always adored Law & Order, especially the earlier series. But that ADR @7:18 hahahaha damn.

I doubt the 3rd choice is accurate. Dobson almost certainly hired the killer. They just couldn't prove it. Sigh! A shame.

Still waiting on Netflix and/or Hulu to gift us with ALL seasons of the original Law and Order.

Possibly the #1 episode of all 400+ L&O stories. Magnificent writing, directing and acting. A Gold / Platinum episode.

Love all of these shows was close to auditioning once

That "or innocent" really hits when you watch how quickly McCoy laid out the thread from the defendant to the killer. Just once single connection had him convinced that they let a guilty man walk

This was a great episode. Especially at the end when they uncover the connection between the victim’s husband and the killer. The worst part is that the husband cannot be retried because the charges against him was dismissed mid-trial. Double jeopardy is attached.

The music in the last 40 seconds or so always haunted me.

"Hope Hallmark makes the right card". - Lennie Briscoe

The first time I ever heard "Alphabet City" I seriously thought it was slang for "any town USA" or of an unidentified origin lol... Then you go there and you're like, "holy sh@t it's a REAL place?!" And then you feel stupid.

I saw the defendant and immediately said, Dobson. I remember this one

"jury will disregard" sure, we'll all just delete it from our files lol

Larry Miller was so good in L&O. And he's in two episodes!

The killer Dobson was also the doorman in the famous Seinfeld episode.

I wish these were on prime video

Larry Miller was BRILLIANT on L&O...

He was a Real Bang Up Guy... Pillar of the Community!

Larry Miller - he can do anything!

Larry Miller as Michael Dobson, who happened to have the best line in this episode: "You know something? I don't need you to tell me I'm a sonuvabitch. Been one for a long time. I like it. The hours are good and there's no heavy lifting. But I happen to be a sonuvabitch whose wife was shot by some other sonuvabitch."

I've seen these shows so many times that right after Adam said "Smart" I thought to myself "Lucky"

What I love about this episode is it's ambiguous ending. It's heavily implied but never proven that Dobson killed his wife. Smart, Lucky Innocent?

This was one of the good ones. Also one of the few episodes with an unofficial part two.

I need more clips of Jack McCoy

This is horrific. They let him go too easily cuz they THOUGHT be might be innocent for a second.

This was one of the great episodes of LAO!!!!

Coma was the second episode in McCoy's very first season (Season 5). I love that it ends with ambiguity as to whether or not Dobson actually did it-though in Encore a season later, that ambiguity flies right out the window and Dobson's revealed as the serial killer he is. I also love that while he didn't play Dobson again after that, Larry Miller did return as himself in the Season 13 finale Smoke.

Takes a true genius to get away with a perfect crime.

“Ah, but a very pretty suspect. Makes all the other suspects go, ‘Whaaaaaaaaah’” -Mr Dobson aka Pablo

This ending wouldn't let me sleep, and follow up Episode, flipped me out.

This is one of my favourite episodes, it puts reality back into the show, also DA cannot recommend sisters relative to go ahead with operation because he is not medical expert

This is back when they had to write and act. Now everything just blows up every 10 minutes.

I love the body language the guy was leaning forward when the prosecution was asking questions, but the moment his lawyer stood up, he sat back up as if he was sitting on a throne.

I would like to see these early Law & Order they are the best

Adam Schiff reminds me of a modern Schopenhauer.

😂😂😂😂 funny going through that filthy apartment with no gloves.

Someone make shows like this , the practice, and other classics available on Amazon prime video or something

"Even if I could retrial him, I couldn't convict him." I'm sorry - I didn't get that! Why can't he re-trial him??

Gotta say, that defense was actually really good.

Larry Miller best villain in law and order

Larry Miller was great as dobson a slimy snarky sob with no redeeming qualities it was really satisfying when he was finally caught

It seems odd they are just wandering gloveless around that apartment.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard seen Larry Miller. Never knew he was a comic. Same thing with Robert Klein. Both so convincing.

Cops touching weapons without gloves?!

Wait, Robin Williams is cannon in a universe he guest starred in?! Didn't anyone in the SVU recognize him?

At :05 you can see that the wall behind the judge is a part of a TV show studio set.

"Smart. Lucky. Or innocent."

Wasn’t this lady on another episode as a therapist that used an unconventional therapy treatment that ended up killing a girl

The Actor who played Dobson did the voice of the Pointy Haired Boss in Dilbert.

Going through a suspect's apartment without so much as gloves on? Even JUST touching the outside of the trigger guard and barely handling a jacket, in an actual court they'd still invalidate just about any evidence they'd find doing that. This is common with US crime dramas though, Columbo could be especially bad about mishandling evidence, unlike UK shows where forensics investigators wear full-body suits to avoid contamination of a crime scene or other area they search.

Larry Miller is one of those actors you’ve seen a million times, but you can never remember what you’ve seen him in.

Sam fucking Waters... brilliant actor.

Add this one to the Big Mouth Billy Bass hanging on McCoy's office wall: "the one that got away".

Only thing about the early episodes is often they aren’t wearing gloves to keep their prints off of things. Overall it’s really good but just little things like that.

Convenient last minute evidence that exonerates such a smug defendant is always a big red flag

Anyone who wants to watch early season of L&O go to 123movies and search for law and order. All 20+ seasons are on there

This is such an old episode. Sam Waterston looks so young.

IN the British police series, the Sweeney (aka the Flying Squad), they hunt down two Australian armed robbers, only in the end to find out they had already left England. Very unusual ending. But it resolved itself in a later episode, when the two, to the astonishment of the police, reappeared in England. Again, they were hunted down, and this time they were caught. lol

"Jury will disregard" oh right, let me just quickly forget what I just heard and completely ignore it when deliberating for a veredict.

its sad seeing these older clips when jack just retired this week

Double jeopardy they shouldn't be able to charge him

Debra Monk does a great job here. AKA Andy Sipowitz’s first wife.

Right, show the entire episode please

I always say that if your sure enough that this person killed a loved one then you should hire a hitman to seek justice for them when the law fails

When the prosecution loses...that's when you see what kind of cast you're working with. It really didn't get any better than this: Schiff and McCoy.

Now you convict him on hiring a killer rather than being killer different charges

"Hello Josef"😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂🤣😆😂

That guy was one Law and Order murderer who would have been good enough for an old Columbo episode.

L/O went south after Jerry Orbach left the show, but Dennis Fariana wasn't bad

Ah, if only that video had been found before the charges were dismissed...had this episode been done today, they might have called/texted one of the lawyers right before and maybe stopped the dismissal.

Is it me or is every murder weapon in this series a snubbie or some sort of Saturday night special.

Thanks to RU-vid I know exactly where alphabet city is and why it's called that.
