History Series / ChicagoJustice

* HollywoodLaw: The pilot, "Fake", has the prosecution's victory hinge on a particularly {{egregious}} example. Prosecutor Stone claims the defendant's outburst in court is "testimony" so he can call him as a witness for his "cross-examination". Naturally the defense lawyer objects, but the judge rejects his entirely valid argument and allows it, though noting she'd "probably be overturned on appeal". Make that ''definitely''. No way would this fly-the defendant wasn't on the stand, so it isn't testimony, thus they can't "cross-examine" him about this. The entire case is won due to the information he reveals during questioning, so the conviction would be vacated and they would have to try him again (doubtless at great cost). It's also unnecessary, since they discover evidence which incriminated him that ''could'' be used.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: A convicted serial killer tries to get his conviction for murder overturned near the end of "Double Helix" on the basis that someone else confessed under oath to the same crime. However, he was given immunity for other murders based on being completely honest, revealing where the victims' bodies were so their families could get closure. Therefore his admitting he lied violates it, and with his confession to those murders there's more than enough evidence for a conviction. He's remanded to prison and will be extradited into Indiana, where four of the murders occurred to be prosecuted, as they have the death penalty.

* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: After a episode that featured a prosecutor sparked some public interest, NBC ordered a backdoor pilot via ''Series/ChicagoPD''. "Justice", the pilot episode, featured multiple characters from ''every'' ''Chicago''-verse show and did so well that a series order was given the day after the episode aired.
