(Season 4, Episodes 19-22)
I can’t believe I’m halfway done with this series. There’ve already been a lot of reruns, although I suppose death row cases have to be respected enough to be done numerous times. But how many times do we have to be reminded that rape victims, or their families, do not have a [...]
