Television's longest-running drama series introduced actor Jesse L. Martin as Detective Eddie Green. Filmed entirely on location in New York City, this realistic program looks at law and order from a dual perspective. In the second half-hour, the focus shifts to the criminal courts.
Some cases truly are open and shut.
Most, however, are not so clear-cut. The investigations are challenging, prosecutions are complicated, and decision about legal procedures and plea-bargaining are vexing. In the often arduous and complex process of determining innocence and guilt, lives hang in the balance. Kathy McCormick and Jeffrey Hayes are the co-executive producers. The series is produced by Wolf Films in association with Studios USA Television.
