That most horrible and nauseating of crimes, the killing of a new born is dealt
with in this Law And Order story. Two Kids, the girl who was never given any
kind of facts of life talk gave birth to an infant who was killed. Her father
Benjamin Hendrickson disposed of the remains. In fact the search for said
remains occupies a good deal of the time of Jerry Orbach and Benjamin Bratt.
The most awful thing about it is that the two kids, Zach Chapman and Mags Charnock are so into each other that the baby is somehow seen as an interloper.
James Rebhorn makes one of his appearances as a defense attorney and his job is made easy by the appearance of these two nice and white and white bread suburban kids with no criminal records of any kind who dance to Endless Love after killing their kid. The jury just can't buy them as murderers no matter what evidence Sam Waterston shows them.
Kind of frightening.
