33 Bullets was an amazing episode of Crossing Jordan, a show that has finally returned to the air after too long away!

The episode did a remarkable job of showing the need for a balance between a swift trial, and taking the time to gather all the facts.

This may well be one of the best episodes of Crossing Jordan to air to date, and for me, they will have a hard time topping it, as I have rarely seen a show which made me not only stop and think, but wonder if perhaps there wasn't a headline, or more than just one headline, this story was ripped from. I couldn't help but wonder if our rush to justice, while a much slower rush than in the days on lynchings and gun fights, isn't still too fast at times.

Oh I'm not campaigning for a return to the times of Cicero, when a murder case could be brought 30+ years after the fact simply to destory a man's career, but there are times when the wheels of justice move so swiftly that I can't help but wonder if there isn't a fact, or some detail that falls out, and gets run over in the process.
