So not cool

I thought I could not get any angrier this week. Turns out I was wrong. Law and Order has violated the memory of Theresa Duncan and slandered Jeremy Blake as a murderer.

Law and Order Depicts Theresa Duncan's Death

But there was a twist - the writer character was murdered instead of committing suicide and the cult harassing her had a leader that isn't publishing books from the gave. Crazy. Plus on TV - the cult was totally innocent - it was the insane paranoia and hatred AT the cult that lead the husband to murder his wife and throw himself off a building to try and give the cult bad publicity. And it was that same paranoia and hatred that made him confess instead of accepting an impending mistrial.

I imagine NBC has good lawyers. That will not be enough for them in Hell. Time to write a second letter today. And forward it to every NBC sponsor I can find starting with Nissan.

Operation Clambake has details.

THE DEATH OF A NOVELIST LEADS THE DETECTIVES TO SUSPECT SOME INVOLVEMNT FROM A CONTROVERSIAL CULT BUT PROSECUTING THIS CASE PROVES TO BE A CHALLENGE

A novelist is found dead in her car, which appears to be a suicide at first inspection, but Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) have reason to believe a cult known as “Systemotics” is involved. The victim’s husband, Bradley Cameron (guest star Daniel London) explains to the detectives that he and his wife were paranoid that members of the cult had been trailing them recently. However, Bradley comes under suspicion as the detectives begin to chip away at his alibi. When the case goes to trial, ADA Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) has trouble prosecuting his case when several members of the jury fear for their own safety. Sam Waterston, Epatha Merkerson, and Alana De La Garza also star.

Show Cast: S. Epatha Merkerson, Jesse L. Martin, Sam Waterston, Alana De La Garza, Jeremy Sisto, Linus Roache

Heads up to Anonymous. The story lets "Systemotics" off the hook. Or rather, the story - written by Gina Gionfriddo, writer and Law and Order Producer and Richard Sweren, writer and Law and Order co-Executive Producer - lets "Systemotics" off the hook and blames the victims.
