Crazy ain't no excuse for murder
Well, after two non-shocking and non-thrilling hours, the jury finds Lindsay guilty of the murder of Lawrence O'Malley. People shout. People scream. Lindsay wails. Then she screams. Then she cries and wails some more. It's all for nought, though, because she's going away for life. Or at least for the summer, until DEK can figure out the appeal plotline.

6-23 Recap	Crazy ain't no excuse for murder The Verdict - Well, after two non-shocking and non-thrilling hours, the jury finds Lindsay guilty of the murder of Lawrence O'Malley. People shout. People scream. Lindsay wails. Then she screams. Then she cries and wails some more. It's all for nought, though, because she's going away for life. Or at least for the summer, until DEK can figure out the appeal plotline.	2002.05.19 2002.05.22	Ragdoll
6-22 Recap	Stairway to Heaven This Pud's For You - Despite all the efforts of the lawyers at The Firm, Lindsay is arrested for shooting Lawrence O'Malley.

In other places, Rebecca defends a man charged with the murder of a girl who turns out to be alive.	2002.05.19 2002.05.21	Ragdoll
6-21 Recap	Ding-dong, the psycho is dead Evil-Doers - Lindsay is at her wits' end. She's had enough of psychos stalking her, stabbing her, and calling her Clarice. She takes the law into her own hands and shoots poor Lannibal Hector half a dozen times in the chest. Who said revenge isn't sweet?	2002.05.12 2002.05.14	Ragdoll
6-20 Recap	Tonight's special: human flesh Eat and Run - Ew. From the bowels of DEK's sick and twisted mind comes Lannibal Hector. Oh, wait. No, it's Hannibal Lecter, and it's Thomas Harris who is responsible for the character; yes, DEK is just borrowing him in a weak attempt to grab ratings during sweeps. Right, so this guy thinks he's Hannibal Lecter, kills some women, eats them, and then Bobby gets him off. Oh, but not before he threatens to eat Lindsay. Honestly. That's what happened.	2002.05.05 2002.05.12	Ragdoll
6-19 Recap	Hookers, Narcissistic Disorders, and Murderers The Return of Joey Heric - Who says The Practice is always dull? John Larroquette graces us with an hour of smirks, snarky behaviour, and serious delusions. It's jolly good fun!	2002.04.14 2002.04.16	Ragdoll
6-18 Recap	Fire's burning, fire's burning Fire Proof - Draw nearer, draw nearer. In the gloaming, in the gloaming, come sing and be convicted. In Lucy's case, it's bad judgment, as she lets a schoolboy crush carry on way, way too long. In Jimmy's case, it's watching a hero dissipate before his beady little eyes.	2002.04.07 2002.04.09	Ragdoll
6-17 Recap	A Friend Indeed Manifest Necessity - A bunch of lawyers sit around accusing each other of misconduct during the trial meant to convict a cold-blooded murderer.

6-15 Recap	Man of Steel Man and Superman - Jimmy defends an old friend who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. There's one hitch; the guy thinks he's Superman. In fact, he's so convinced he's a superhero that he tries to fly. Now the wife of the man he landed on when he sailed out the window is suing him and the hospital where he lives.	2002.02.24 2002.03.03	Ragdoll
6-14 Recap	Judge Thyself Judge Knot - Which in most cases would mean give yourself a good moral spanking. Alas, in DEK's world, it means shoot yourself in the head, literally. This is exactly what happens when Bobby, Helen, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney's office squirrel out a crooked judge.	2002.02.17 2002.02.20	Ragdoll
6-13 Recap	In Rod They Bash Pro Se - Rod's selfish when it comes to his own emotional well-being. Rod is an emotional basket case because of the Bull beatdown.

6-12 Recap	Take the Bull by the horns The Test - ...and pull him off Bobby, because all those punches are going to ruin his handsome mug. Bobby makes a judgment call that ends up revealing his client as a murderer. The client doesn't handle the situation very well. Elsewhere, Lindsay attempts to right an old wrong and free an innocent man she inadequately defended.	2002.01.13 2002.01.15	Shack
6-11 Recap	A wolf in sheep's clothing Eyewitness - Things are not always as they seem around Boston these days. Ministers are sleeping with defendants, hot D.A.s are making passes at unsuspecting defense attorneys, and no one is actually trying to figure out the truth. Should we expect any less from DEK?	2002.01.06 2002.01.13	Ragdoll
6-10 Recap	Even the jury objects Inter Arma Silent Leges - Helen and Eugene get way off-track as a case that should have been open and shut drags out, then becomes ugly. In other places, Rebecca argues a habeas corpus motion in front of a Federal judge to demand a hearing for an Arab-American man being held in FBI custody.	2001.12.09 2001.12.16	Ragdoll
6-9 Recap	Dangerous Liaizzzzzzzons Dangerous Liaisons - Choderlos de Laclos rolls over in his grave as DEK tramples on the classics of literature. What's dangerous? Nothing. Who's having a liaison? Not a single soul. Especially not Rod. Despite the fact that maybe he kind of sort of might want to, but he doesn't -- you know why? Because he loves his wife.	2001.12.02 2001.12.09	Ragdoll
