Crazy ain't no excuse for murderThe Verdict - Well, after two non-shocking and non-thrilling hours, the jury finds Lindsay guilty of the murder of Lawrence O'Malley. People shout. People scream. Lindsay wails. Then she screams. Then she cries and wails some more. It's all for nought, though, because she's going away for life. Or at least for the summer, until DEK can figure out the appeal plotline. |

No, it's Hannibal Lecter, and it's Thomas Harris who is responsible for the character; yes, DEK is just borrowing him in a weak attempt to grab ratings during sweeps. Right, so this guy thinks he's Hannibal Lecter, kills some women, eats them, and then Bobby gets him off. Oh, but not before he threatens to eat Lindsay. Honestly. That's what happened. |
