    A Law & Order Episode in the Making Ever wonder where Law & Order episodes come from? If you've ever watched the show, you know that they often scrape the headlines, sometimes mix-and-match style, throw in a homicide, and set Jack McCoy and the Good Cop/Bad Cop on the case. …

    Razzia im Irrenhaus!
