Judge John Deed (2001)

S3E2 Judicial Review

Title: Judicial Scrutiny Plot: Deed is infuriated when a fellow judge shows leniency towards a man found guilty of political crimes, who happens to have done favors for him. He boldly claims corruption, ignoring Jo's reservations. At the same time, Jan Dobbs stands trial for murder in Deed's courtroom, while the unresolved hit-and-run case from the last episode lingers. Meanwhile, influential figures in the legal community continue their plotting to undermine Deed and Jo Mills, intensifying the tension in their professional lives.
