Back when I was a practicing attorney, I lost count of the times that I had to deal with clients who responded to my proposals for witness preparation and trial strategy with "But that's not what Blake Carrington's attorney did on 'Dynasty' " "But that's not how Sam Waterston handled it on 'Law and Order' ". It's surprising that I can still WATCH a TV show with legal themes. But in this episode of "Murder, She Wrote" (a show I love, largely because I'm a BIG Angela Lansbury fan), I have to wonder what on earth the legal advisors for the series were thinking when this script was written. There is absolutely NO imaginable theory of legal liability by which Jessica could have been roped into the lawsuit at the center of this story. All Jessica's attorney would have had to do was file a motion to get her dismissed from the action -- and unless the judge was corrupt, it would certainly have been granted. (NO public figure is EVER responsible for how others make use of their name and image without their knowledge and consent). I can think of any number of other LEGITIMATE ways that the writers could have involved Jessica in the plot. (An.old friend of the Harvey Fierstein character, who also knows Jessica, asks her to help him out, perhaps?). And, on an unrelated topic: claiming that Harvey Fierstein has FIVE ex-wives is enough to get "Murder, She Wrote" reclassified as science fiction.
