Once again the tide of time has passed this spec script by, so it's offered up as yet another writing sample.
What happens when a district attorney is the victim of a crime, specifically an attempted homicide? What do the people around that person do, how do they handle it? Those questions were behind part of this tale: I blow up Jack McCoy's motorcycle in the teaser.
As for the crime behind that incident, the case that takes the second half of the story, it is based on a real case of embezzlement connected to a Nigerian email scam. If you thought that no one ever falls for those, you thought wrong; it does happen alas. I have considerably fictionalized the circumstances, however.
Since this script is out-of-date for the current cast of Law & Order, the following list of characters indicates who is in this story.
Lt. Anita Van Buren; Det. Joe Fontana; Det. Ed Green; ADA Jack McCoy; ADA Alex Borgia; DA Arthur Branch.
As always, this is just a writing sample.
All characters belong to Wolf Films and Universal Studios.
