Law & Order: Poison Ivy (1990)
Season 1, Episode 8
7/10
The Police Officer and the Drug Dealer
24 September 2022
While patrolling the streets of New York, the veteran Police Officer Freddo Parisi and Officer Davis see three Afro-American suspects that split and run. Freddo chases two of them and Davis runs after the third one. Out of the blue, Davis overhears a shot and runs to the alley, where Freddo is. He finds a suspect dead with a Magnum in his hand and the other suspect missing. Detectives Greevey and Logan investigate the case against the will of the police department. Soon they find that the victim, Tommy Richardson, was worshiped by the black community since he was graduated in Princeton and used to give donations to the church. But their further investigation showed that he was a drug dealer since the time of the university, but he did not have a gun. Now Stone and Robinette are pressed and proposes a deal to Freddo for planting the Magnum in Tommy's hand, but he refuses the deal and prefers going to the court.

"Poison Ivy" is a good episode of "Law & Order" with a case very difficult for Greevy and Logan first and then for Stone and Robinette. The Afro-American community wants the punishment of Freddo, but he was released from the Internal Affairs and the Union is defending him. But Greevy and Stone believe in justice and proceed their investigation. The conclusion is predictable. My vote is seven.
