Ripped From the Scripts

I’m used to seeing Law & Order plots that come right from recent news headlines. But this may be the first time that I saw the Law & Order episode first and only later found out about the real life story. The real story is about Paul Bergrin, a former prosecutor in the New Jersey US Attorneys office who apparently went from a life of prosecuting criminals to defending them and then decided to just cut out the middle man and become one himself. He’s now been indicted on multiple counts involving drug dealing, prostitution, the murder of two witnesses and more.
