Back in 1956 the film The Bad Seed shocked moviegoers with the idea that 10
year old Patty McCormack could be a killer. Nevertheless there it was and it
became McCormack's signature role.
Law And Order picked up on that theme and cast Hallie Hirsh who leads the older Madeline Blue into killing a seven year old boy and leaving the body in a drainpipe. The same kind of amoral act that Leopold and Loeb did way back in the 20s..
What to do with her, Hirsh that is who just shows no remorse, no empathy whatsoever. This turns into a duel between J.K. Simmons and former Law And Order resident psychiatrist Carolyn McCormick who is retained by the defense.
Some folks can't comprehend pure evil existing, yet there is Charles Manson. How much more incomprehensible when it's a child.
