OK, it's not a murder case or anything, but the Adam Groves interviews are like a Law and Order episode, especially the part where Briscoe and Green get the alleged perp in the interview room and start sweating him.

I can feel sorry for Adam. He seems like a good guy, and he seems to be trying, for good or ill, to protect his friend Tyler Harber while at the same time distancing himself from the whole affair (assuming he told them everything he knows). And the detectives just keep hammering him.

Excerpts after the jump illustrate what I'm talking about, but you really ought to read the whole thing for the full Law and Order effect...

549 your not a bad guy
550 AG: Uhhuh
551 CB: I haven't formed an opinion yet but because I don't think your being
552 truthful with me...you know, one person mentioned that they would
553 like to see you do well.. J hope you do well just because that's what

(Ed. Note: Does anyone else find it curious that they've got all kinds of statements and interviews from everyone except Tyler Harber?)
