Parting Was Not Sweet Sorrow - Law & Order 

Sometimes watching their life crumble is better than any jail cell.

Not to mention no life insurance payment or any of his money. Relationship with her boyfriend lost, name dragged through the mud as a murder suspect and stuck paying the lawyers she hired out of her own pocket. In the end she's alone and penniless.

I'm hoping Bobby became the main beneficiary.

@@acgearsandarms1343 Unfortunately, Mr. Rosotti didn't get to watch anything since he was dead.

@@kdmdlo you’re a complete Buffon. There is a next life.

It almost worked, too, but the plan came apart. But Tony even had a contingency for failure so he wouldn't get his friend put in prison. It was ALMOST a perfect crime.

Remind me of Batman the animated series, when King Barlo left Joker all his money following his death. Only for it to be revealed that the money is fake and King Barlo did it just to get the last laugh on Joker lol

Am I only one who getting SAW vibes and having SAW music start playing?!!

The wife and lover can still sue his estate for intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful arrest, etcetera.

@@throckwoddle I think they'll be too busy being at each other's throats when they learn how they both threw each other under the bus. Plus, once the court finds out that she was cheating on him during their marriage, a case could be made Tony simply lost the will to live because of it, and more importantly, the "Rosatti" clause kicks in and she wouldn't get a dime either way. They'd waste millions, millions they'd likely don't have. Tony's friend, on the other hand, has his Lawyer, someone who likely knows more than everyone about the whole situation. Might not be perfect, but Tony really made it so at the very least, Tony's ex-wife and her lover get absolutely nothing but a stain on their reputation.

Totally agree

@@throckwoddle noop,, all was razonable. Even when it's not they normally get protected by qualified immunity, and someone like you who believes it makes sense to sue the government because they investigated a crime is a showing of why it's necessary: it allows the court to dismiss the proceedings "ad portas". Qualified immunity just not protect people who violate the law, but in cases like this yes.

@@jaimeduncan6167 I didn't say anything about suing the government.

Meaning you hated the ones where he was right?

@@Ares99999 Not really. I enjoyed this series and the excellent writing and acting I saw. It was just deliciously fun to run across one where the perspective by McCoy is a slam dunk contradiction of what he believes to be true, and he has difficulty in accepting that.

@@Ken4Pyro I concur. Mccoy had a habit of being self-righteously delusional.

The problem is that they do such things in real life, and they lie and force confessions and basically pay criminals to testify agains the person that they want to send out. The reason we have prosecutors in criminal cases and the reason we have rules that force the DA to handle exculpatory evidence to the defense is to avoid the conduct. But layers are super competitive and get blinded by desired to win and because they are friends with the police more than justice. And they series like this one were the people from the innocence project are the protectors of the worse.

The trouble there is, if he ignores the evidence and still attempts to imprison someone without any kind of cause he can be charged and stripped of all his legal credentials...he needs to realize he is not always right.

he haa to get something even when he can't

Better than Schiff. He would try to move the case by telling Stone or McCoy to cut a deal even when there was solid evidence for an indictment.

probally the best move to get someone cold feet,and then someone cracks finally giving them their case

This is not fiction, many police would rather get the arrest. Most of the time the most obvious suspect did the crime, but the whole 'Innocent until proven guilty' is a load of bullshit. You are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, and even then your life might be ruined forever. I mean, heh, that was the revenge the guy got on his cheating wife and her boyfriend, they were totally innocent but they were humiliated and will likely never live it down.

It's more like guilty until proven guilty. Because you can't lie about getting killed and someone not getting arrested for it.

Yes, Yes , Yes, he wacked himself to get his bad wife and her lover, Wow, that is Classic, like a Greek Play

Nah, i hear them sopranos over in jersey r just a glorified crew

@@ytcensorhack1876A Don don’t wear shorts.

I think it was "So Mr. D.A." - because Tony knew that if his friend was in trouble, it would be with the DA and the video would only be shown to prove his friend's innocence, to a DA.

I have this season on DVD!!! I can watch this episode again and again!

Not even just that but there's still the evidence proving she cheated. Fat lot of good it would do her to contest anything

​@juliantapia1407 exactly, the affair may not be illegal but her credibility is pretty much nill and the court will view her in a very negative light for that. She's done.

And he even went to the trouble of making a VHS to save his loan-shark friend from getting jammed up after the fact, just in case.

Great writers

I was sure that it was Bobby who pulled off the murder if the hitman failed and since he was a retired cop he would've used Sherri's copy key of Randy's apartment to conveniently frame Randy. Since Bobby knew the Hitman. The ending was far better as it gave a middle finger to that smiling McCoy. Got out-played by the victim even in death.

@Walter Johnson Jack McCoy

Walter Johnson John or Jack is interchangeable as a nickname. Most people call him Jack. John is his legal name. John James McCoy.

Lol he knew he got played by the mob boss. They definitely did something to him tho to make that video. Didnt seem genuine or he was tricked. Well never know.

Yep, he should feel relieved that he did not send someone innocent to jail, but they are part of this sick game: they just want someone in jail.

I wonder if he had something terminal like cancer. It would make more sense then.

@@RLucas3000 ~ That would have been an interesting plot twist...

You forget the real reference - Gyp Rosetti. Rossatti - Rosetti lol

Isn’t he also in Boardwalk Empire and Ant-Man?

Bobby Cannavale

The best contractors can make it look like an accident. Might take a few more days of investigative work and money, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to off someone and make it look like an accident. Slip in the shower and hit your head? Easy if the floor is covered in lube. Lady found in the kitchen with a cut neck? Mouse chewed through the pipe and lady slipped in the water, threw up the knife where it hit the roof and dropped into her neck. One in a million chance but everything checked out. The devil is in the details.

@@darthhauler9947 Actually I just meant, in context of the show, the way the guy who orchestrated it all even included a fail-safe so that his mate didn't have to get involved in his marital mess. That's tidy work.

This is great... the true beauty of L & O is that it teaches you the appropriate action if shady stuff happens. AND never bring your easy pass when you're going to kill someone.

SMH

Well maybe you shouldn't be hanging around his neck like a fuckin vulture. He thought he was getting pinched again.

Wait, what????

@@annejeppesen160 Ted Ammon. L&O did this plot again in Sn 15 with Andrea Roth & Daniel Sunjata in the ep. "Mammon". A more accurate depiction, but I think they just aired this on the NEW series/season of "Forensic Files". It was hella complicated to follow, so I can't be sure, but yeah, this rich guy, (Ted) was killed by a contractor named Daniel who was dating(?) his wife(?) Generosa Ammon. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Ammon

@@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165 it was the part with the husband setting the whole thing up to frame the wife that I found inconceivable. The "murder the inconvenient husband" is a classical plot, irl and fiction.

@@annejeppesen160 I wrote: "I still can't believe this happened irl.". I didn't mean it *literally* , lol. (L&O has only ever nearly* done that once, & they got sued.) That's why I elaborated by mentioning "Forensic Files" with question marks. I've seen the same SITUATION also unfold on "American Greed", where ppl have murdered, been murdered, or faked their murder, in love triangles driven by greed or jealousy. I think the Forensic Files ep was about the murder of a handyman, but not "just" a handyman. Google. You'd be shocked to see what lengths ppl go to.. It's why I keep my Identity locked in a safe😨

@@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165 aaaah, that way around. The most successful Danish police TV series, was based on real Danish murders. They mixed and matched a bit and moved the locations, but the essentials was authentic criminal cases. They got some backlash after using a too recent rather sensitive case, they apologized profoundly and then took better care to choose old cases.

Yes. I think he wanted an almost murder on himself. Survive in silence, take the 3 million himself. Those two in prison, he in hawaii. Something went wrong. He really died. And made a tape for if it did go wrong.

So Tony hired the hit an himself & let him into the house, with the killer closing but not locking the door behind him as he left? Which explains the second $50 G, the missing gun & bullet casing. All makes sense now!

Could you imagine that? You get a face lift and one week later you're in jail.

It's in the guys will actually, if he killed himself, his wife doesn't get anything... His friend Bobby does.

You & me...

"I want to play a game."

men are forced into that situation otherwise they will be very lonely and outcast by society

Better than the alternative of marrying someone your own age and going through the exact same thing with someone already experienced with cheating, divorce, and manipulation. At least this way he gets to enjoy himself and he's got her trapped with the prenup. They explained that his first wife (his own age) cheated on him and squeezed every drop she could out of him.

​@@Gbari7 Maybe he should have actually tried to be a good husband. Maybe he should have been there. You can't get married and expect to work constantly and have your trophy wife sit there. But then, men never take responsibility for their own behavior. Marry a trophy wife, don't actually do anything with her, pay her for her time, and wait for her to cheat so you can be mad at her. This guy needed professional help. But better to play the victim and blame everyone else for the issues. That's what men do best.

​@@katherynemero4118 This is going to be fun... I love how you say men don't take responsibility for their behavior while completely absolving the woman's infidelity. That legitimately made me chuckle. He realized he married the wrong type of woman before, and wrote it into their prenup she gets nothing if caught cheating. This will weed out a good majority of gold diggers, so he took responsibility for his past failures and did what he could to weed out the wrong type of woman. Your criticism of this man and what he expected from his wife is exactly what a trophy wife does. He works, makes the money, and when he's home they enjoy each other, go to events, vacations, etc. When he's gone she can go shopping, workout, etc. I can tell you're old enough to get this reference and it'll help blend truth with your woman logic. In the movie Pretty Woman Richard Gere's character wanted Julia Robert's character to be the equivalent of a trophy wife when he was in town. Women are by nature hypergamous always desiring and feeling entitled to a better situation be it financial or romantic. The good ones fight this phenomenon and force themselves to be content. It's a daily battle. The same way men are by nature compelled to sleep with as many women as possible, but resist if they're decent. Once again daily battle. Unfortunately, the wife fell victim to her own hypergamous nature and felt entitled to a better romantic situation when it presented itself. He could have been a better husband and she could have been a better wife. They're both victims and they both suffered for their mistakes.

Where can ii download or stream it?

Sounds like. 🤔😏

Nope

Tony hired the hitman to kill him. That's why Tony's lawyer called it assisted suicide.

That's a recording he made before he got killed. What are you on about?

Supporting evidence for this claim?

Why the confidence in her being a "wonderful" person?

@@MrDeterioration that is chivalry and good manners.

I gotta agree. I'm watching this season at the moment and out of all the assistant DA's Jack had, this character is the one I dislike the most. She has very little chemistry with Jack and comes across as hostile and not very friendly with him most of the time. Give me Carmichael or Kincaid any day over this one.

@@cloudtx He slept with Kincaid and she's supposed to be colder to him, she's a lesbain
