Silk Stalkings (1991)

Season 4: Episode 20

A woman is found dead in a hotel room. As Chris and Rita investigate, they soon discover that the woman was named Susan Kemper, and that she was involved in some sort of deal to get her arrested husband a sentence of Community Service rather than jail time. When another felon, Mr. Fuller, is surprisingly given a sentence of Community Service by the same judge who sentenced Mr. Kemper, Chris and Rita begin to suspect that the judge--"Flip-A-Coin" Moyne--might be offering the wives of his felons a way to "earn" their husbands' freedom--by having sex with him. Donovan wants more proof before he will stick his neck out to attack the judge, so Rita talks to Mrs. Fuller to see if their suspicions are correct. Meanwhile, Atticus Dunn has a string of parking problems while peddling his fresh shrimp, including a run-in with Officer Grodenchick.
