* MagnificentBitch: Wendy Mass is a friendly, seemingly blind woman and the true murderer of Sonny Cross. Having lost her parents and vision in a car crash caused by Cross decades ago, upon having her vision partially restored, Mass sought revenge. Tricking Cross into meeting her in an alleyway, Mass [[DisabilityAlibi shoots him in a way that's impossible for a blind person]]. When country singer Music/WillieNelson unexpectedly arrives, Mass quickly frames him for the murder by acting as a witness, continuing to fake her blindness to ensure nobody suspects her. When Monk reveals the truth behind the case, [[GracefulLoser Mass thanks him for uncovering it]], having been wrought with guilt for framing an innocent man. When Stottlemeyer suggests making a deal with the District Attorney, Mass asks that her only leniency be a window in her cell so that she can make the most of her newly regained sight.

Misuse. Narm is for dramatic moments specifically. (Even then, that wouldn't change how network edits or not, a nudist interrupting him during a press conferance would be disrespectful in his eyes)

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mrs. Mass killed Jason "Sonny" Cross and falsely implicated Willie Nelson for the crime. It's also established that her motive was getting even with Sonny because he killed her parents in a DUI crash in the 1980s and got a light sentence for it. Where the trope comes into play is that Mrs. Mass's actions were worse than anything Sonny Cross did. It is clear that Cross's actions were stupid, irresponsible and criminal, and the outcome of his actions was a tragedy, but he didn't intentionally go out and murder anyone. He wasn't even in his right mind, and we don't know anything about the trial. He may have pleaded guilty or no contest to two counts of vehicular manslaughter. Mrs. Mass, on the other hand, committed premeditated murder and then allowed an innocent man to be blamed (and perhaps even would have allowed him to be convicted) for her crime. She wasn't proclaiming Willie Nelson's innocence. She claimed that she "heard" Willie Nelson's voice during the murder of Jason Cross. That's not justice. That's a crime in its own right. In fact, she should have gotten more time for giving false evidence and trying to convict an innocent man of murder instead of the "extenuating circumstances" that Stottlemeyer was talking about.
** However, this is arguably mitigated by the heavy implication that Sonny Cross didn't regret his actions one bit (especially since he was also a career embezzler), not to mention that the only "leniency" she requests is simply to serve her sentence in a private, windowed cell (though trying to frame Nelson was still a jerk move).
