I completely missed “The Wire” when it originally aired. I started watching the series on DVD last September and finished the series on Sunday. Without question, it is one of the greatest television shows of all time.
This is my favorite court scene from a television show. The clip below contains some vulgarity. The scene gets really good at about 4:45 into the clip when the lawyer (Levy) begins his cross examination. Levy is a dirty but talented lawyer. Below highlights the potential perils of cross examining a witness.
