The husband of a prominent judge is murdered. Who was the intended target in Law & Order season 24, episode 7?

There’s a lot to break down in just a short promo and synopsis for the upcoming episode. This episode is going to remind us that people in high places tend to have far too many powerful people. Is it possible that a judge is involved in her own husband’s murder?

Is the judge guilty or was she the intended victim in Law & Order season 24, episode 7?

When a man is found bludgeoned to death in his own home, eyes are on why the attack happened. He was the husband of a prominent judge, which could mean that the attack was due to one of the judge’s cases. We know that family members of those sentenced will go after the people they deem responsible for the sentencing—because we can’t have the criminals hold accountability, can we?

However, things take a turn when witnesses start to avoid testifying. Then there’s the fact that the judge seems to be avoiding testifying, and it looks like the mayor is protecting the judge. Is this a case of the spouse doing it? Did she get someone to kill her husband and make it look like a potential attack on her?

The police department and the DA’s office will need to work together if they want to get to the bottom of the case. It’s not going to be easy when it seems like the system is working against them.

Check out the promo and synopsis for Law & Order season 24, episode 7:

"When tragedy strikes the family of a prominent judge, Brady must determine if the murder is connected to any of the judge's rulings; Baxter steps in when a key witness refuses to testify; Maroun tries to protect another witness's privacy. "
