L&O: He goes free for killing a cop but is charged with killing the cop killer

Author: Partners in Crime Media May 3, 2023 Duration: 48:00
An armed robbery leaves an off-duty cop dead and the two gunmen flee by hijacking a town car. When Briscoe and Curtis find one of them, the robber offers Ross a deal: in exchange for a light sentence he'll tell them where to find the kidnapped driver. Over the cops' objections, McCoy agrees to the bargain, but they learn too late the driver was already dead when the suspect offered it. When the other robber turns up dead, Jack shocks Lenny and Rey when he decides to honor the crooked deal. He lets the first guy go for killing a cop so he can charge him with killing the other cop killer. But the entire thing could fall apart if Briscoe and Curtis don't lie on the stand and say they didn't tell McCoy the cause of the accomplice's death was murder. We're talking about the award-winning episode of Law & Order season seven episode nineteen "Double Down." Our returning guest is Brady Carlson from the "Cool Weird Awesome" podcast. The landmark case of Brady v Maryland serves as a plot point to this episode.

Hosts Kevin Flynn and Rebecca Lavoie, from Partners in Crime Media, have a simple but compelling ritual: they sit down with a different special guest for each episode of this ...These Are Their Stories: The Law & Order Podcast to dissect a specific installment from the sprawling franchise. Their conversations zero in on those iconic "ripped-from-the-headlines" plots from *Law & Order*, *SVU*, and *Criminal Intent*, examining how real-world events were twisted into television drama. You’ll hear them break down the courtroom strategies, debate the detectives' methods, and share behind-the-scenes trivia, all while appreciating why this series remains, as they put it, the definitive original of police procedurals. The discussion is always deep, often funny, and fueled by a genuine fan’s perspective on the nuances that make each episode memorable. Tuning into this podcast feels like joining a lively, well-informed debate among friends who just happen to be obsessed with the gavel’s bang and the suspect’s confession. It’s a dedicated space for anyone who has ever argued about a verdict or wondered about the real story behind a fictional case.
