Закон и порядок Doubles (1990–2010) Online

Detectives Briscoe and Logan investigate the locker room assault on a rising young tennis star, Korey Burke. Her wrist was broken and it likely spells the end of her career as a pro tennis player. At first they suspect a rival, Allison Hall but then focus on the girl's father who they think might have wanted to find a way for Korey to keep her sponsorship contracts without actually having to play - and perhaps lose. The case seems to come full circle again when evidence points to Allison's boyfriend as the culprit. The solution lies elsewhere however.

This episode is based on the Tonya Harding case. In January of 1994, Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked and hit hard in the knee. Harding, her prime competition was suspected of the crime but denied any involvement. Weeks later, Harding admitted her involvement in exchange for a plea bargain where she served no jail time. Also charged were Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt, Shane Stant and Derrick Smith. Harding began a new career as a boxer in the 2000s.

This episode has some resemblance to the January 6, 1994 incident involving Nancy Kerrigan. She was an American figure skater who was smashed in the knee by an unknown assailant at a figure skating event. The character, Korey, in this episode was a pro tennis player and had her wrist broken by an unknown assailant. Tonya Harding was later convicted for the assault on Nancy Kerrigan. There was some speculation that Nancy had done this to herself, because she was buckling from all the pressure, but this was later disproven when Tonya was arrested and convicted. This episode took that speculation from this real life incident and actually applied it as part of the storyline. They used different sports, different areas of the body that were injured in the attacks, but the parallels were definitely there.

Only last year the story of Tonya Harding became a film that received many awards including Oscars. This L&O episode isn't anything close to what happened in that saga when Tonya's boyfriend and friends of his beat her rival Nancy Kerrigan with an iron bar. The episode though based on it is a far different story.

Stacy Moseley tennis champion is assaulted with her sustaining a broken hand and knocking her out of competition. The investigation by Jerry Orbach and Chris Noth traces back to her rival, the Tonya Harding character played by Allison Dunbar. Doing the deed was her very shady boyfriend Holt McCallany.

But that's where the similarities end. It's quite a twisted story and it also peripherally involves John Heard who is Moseley's coach and father. It might get a little too convoluted for the episode's own good.

As for similarities and I won't say more is that Nancy Kerrigan in real life came from almost as hardscrabble a background as Tonya Harding.

Maybe I missed it, but I never quite understood why homicide detectives Briscoe and Logan were interested in the case of a tennis prodigy whose hand gets broken... a la the Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding scandal.

This is a forgettable episode, one that involves more soapy twists than legal or dramatic ones. Even though it's just a TV show, I couldn't help but feel like the fictional prosecutor's office would be better serving the city by expending their resources elsewhere.

Even Steven Hill's closing lines at the end of the show seem to reinforce the triviality of this episode.

Keep an eye out for the typically serious EADA Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty) cracking a genuine smile right before the closing credits - that's something unique, at least!

In January, 1994, figure skater Tonya Harding hired one or two goons to kneecap her chief rival, Nancy Kerrigan. In May of that year, this episode appeared, in which a budding tennis star hires a good to break her wrist in order for her to get out of professional tennis without losing any money or any of her father's love.

The "ripped from the headlines" episodes don't always follow the historical script too closely. This one certainly doesn't. But they hew closely enough to the original scenario that the signals are clearly received by the viewers.

As usual, this one is pretty well done. John Heard is the name guest star.
