I saw this episode after it was taped, and here's the brief review.

The shooting turned out to have very little to do with Det. Green; he was sort of a collateral damage in an attempt to silence Kenny, the security guard. Turned out that Kenny was a bad cop; after he was dishonerably discharged from the force, he worked as a security guard, but also did some shady things on the side, such as being the middle man in someone's porn tape ring. The guy who shot him was paid to do it by the guy who ran the porn tape production company. A tape showed some young girl getting killed on screen, and the prosecutors try to go after the producer guy for murder.

Long story short, they all made a big boo-boo, as the shooting on the tape wasn't real, and the girl appeared live in the court room to testify. However, the proseuction/detectives did find out that Kenny was shot because another girl was killed, and with the investigation on the lawyer's death in L&O, the producer guy was afraid Kenny would talk.

Interesting story, but I dislike how the previews made it as if someone would be prosecuted for shooting Green. But no. The story could've been just another episode of L&O. Though on L&O you don't usually see sleazy attorneys sleep with their clients. (Shallow moment: The woman who played the defense attorney, Debrah Farentino, looked very slutty in her attire, and her teeth were just awful. Very unbelievable that she was even a lawyer; one suspects that she used to be the producer guy's gf or something.)

Oh, and Fontana was still giving off that attitude crap in TBJ and totally dissing the detectives who were trying to help. Not cool, and I was not amused. Fontana is really getting on my nerves, which makes me miss Jerry Orbach even more.

And there ya have it.
