ADA Jamie Ross and EADA Jack McCoy confront a colleague of theirs that was arrested and charged with murdering a bail bondsman. This clip was taken from a show from Law and Order season 8 "Shadow."
While I liked Jill Hennesy's character the best out of the female ADAs Jamie Ross came came a close second and one of the things the that impressed me the most about her was her strong sense of moral integrity.
With the stunning announcement recently of law and order being revived for a 21st season, who else would like to see Jamie reprise reprise her role as a judge? We last saw her as a recurring guest star in law & order trial by jury where she played a very interesting and ethical judge. If the rumor is true that they want to bring back former characters, with her it wouldn't be difficult!
@@cleobrown413 she was only in one or two episodes, but she killed it as usual. I wish I could remember which ones she was in but honestly it might be worth it to just watch the whole series. I was disappointed it got canceled, yes the ratings were mediocre but at this point the ratings of the original series weren't that much higher. They also gave trial by jury that Friday night slot and I actually think it performed pretty well considering. There's some great episodes that are worth watching for sure.
She made an appearance. She’s still a DA. She almost got herself fired protecting a woman who was raped by a celebrity (it was clearly the Bill Cosby case, only he gets murdered here.) It’s on Peacock, commercial free.
@@Jamietheroadrunner yeah she made an appearance but she definitely was a judge in the law and order universe for a while and I wish they would have explained that transition better and to be honest I'm not really happy with what they did with her character. She was a very ethical prosecutor and what she did in that episode was not ethical.
@@mikeg8375 I get it tho. Even the most ethical of people get worn down over time watching the guilty (and rich) go free. Plus, she felt personally responsible. That’s what I like about Law & Order, they’re brutally realistic.
Jamie would ultimately leave the DA's office within that year, the scene at the end I think was a foreshadowing of that. She would come back as a defense attorney in a couple of episodes and end up as a judge in the short-lived "Trial By Jury". The show didn't do well in the ratings, and Jerry Orbach's death early on was I think another blow to it.
It's not that easy. There are too many lawyers already and the people who get the big private practice jobs go to the fancy law schools and have the connections. People saddled with student loans end up as ADAs.
In Law&Order CAREY LOWELL is the BEST, for me, and the most beautiful woman either, so interesting, so convincing in every scene. I LOVE HER. Anyway all the actors and actresses in Low&Order, are perfectly fitted. This series has the most professional unbeatable playing team in the whole world. I admire you the most !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Should have played for time, given his wife time to escape to another state. Extradition unlikely given the fact that prosecuting her was not in good faith. Extradition can be refused when the prosecuting state acts in bad faith.
👩🏼⚖️ So you became a corrupt DA.,I took profit from Drug Leaders.,you took Money from desperate People.,what your doing to Lisa, that's so different, you really don't know.,,
If only Katherine Waterson had been inspired by Carey Lowell's hairdo whilst she was acting opposite her dad here, but as it so happens she just stole Ezra Miller's dumb bowl cut for Alien: Covenant.
They really should have flipped her character more, she was the most unlikeable ADA the show had in it's time. they should have made her worse, especially with the rich-disconnect.
But he *wasn't* coming to her. He was threatening the DA's office. He was threatening all her hard work and the law that she loved. He was ready to put guilty criminals back on the street so he could get away with murder. He only changed his tune when that plan fell apart. Even then, he was justifying his lawlessness and blaming others for his predicament. That's not someone who deserves her sympathy. But she DID have sympathy for his wife.
Doesn’t matter a da can’t threaten to press charges or drop charges against a family member in exchange for a plea it’s called being coerced the da can do lots of things to get a plea but family members is a no no
@@animejerk05 Not only that, but by threatening the wife, the D.A.'s would just give this guy even more reason to deliberately undo many convictions. (SPOILER ALERT): In one of the later seasons (during the Fontana era) a cop on trial for murder did something similar....claimed he falsified a lot of evidence in all the cases he worked on in his career. He was still convicted in the end, but all the criminals he put away were able to file for appeals to their convictions.
Well, gee. Actually, no one did on this show because - and lots of people are good with this - that wasn't the kind of show it was. No prissiness here. Just law drama.(Going to lie on cot for old folks.)
deanw0rmer, that would have distracted from the procedural nature of the show, and would have turned it into a legal “Grey’s Anatomy” lemon. Too many of them as it is.
I was a slugabed today and TNT just happened to be showing this show (on marathon), a show I've never ever given a shot, ever. So I say what-the-heck and watch a few episodes. EVERY ONE of the four episodes was SOOOO stupid... SOOOO illogical.... SOOOO tone deaf... and just straight like the show just pulls plot points out of its ASS, that I can honestly say this has to be one of the DUMBEST and ill-conceived shows on television OF ALL TIME.
