!! Just the Tropes for this episode:

* CaughtOnTape ... well, not exactly on tape, but Friday and the forensics department determine that using a special kind of dust, visible only under the light of an ultraviolet lamp, will help connect experienced safe burglar Buckley to his crimes and put him away for good.
* ExcuseBoomerang: The safe burglar, Buckley, enjoys living high, with fancy cars and beautiful women, despite a modest income as a journeyman cabinet maker. Hence, why he committed the crimes.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The judge minces no words that he not only disagrees with the verdict but that – in a gross miscarriage of justice being carried out – he claims the jurors are either dishonest or "complete morons."
