** In episode "Deadlock" the Criminal-of-the-Week is a convicted mass murderer, serving eight consecutive life sentences. He escapes and kills a lot more people before being re-arrested. His prior crimes mean bail isn't even up for debate but also means he has no reason to take any deals. In fact, he tries to get the D.A.'s office to bargain with ''him'' (for better prison conditions), pointing out that every trip to the courthouse is another chance to escape. Also, there's really nothing riding on the trial. What are they going to do, give him additional consecutive life sentences? The D.A.'s office starts looking for legal loophole they can use to put him up for the death penalty, [[spoiler:and then he's killed in a VigilanteExecution setting off the ''real'' trial of the episode]].
