“It goes in all different directions,” he continued. “`Law & Order’ raises questions about what’s fair, what’s right, what’s justice, that aren’t necessarily raised by the original story or … can’t be gone into in just a news story.”

So there you have it. The idea just looks exactly like the Elliot Spitzer but it really isn’t.
