L&O: The second wife wants to implant the first wife's embryos
Description
A tech at an IVF clinic is bludgeoned with a liquid nitrogen tank by someone who dumped all of its embryos down the sink. Briscoe and Curtis learn, before he died, a wealthy man won the embryos in his divorce. His second wife wanted to implant the first wife's fertilized eggs and create a new heir to his fortune.
In order to get a felony murder conviction against the first wife, McCoy has to argue the destroyed embryos were now the property of the young widow. But when Carmichael discovers an additional two surviving embryos, a new battle over who should get the eggs commences.
We're talking about Law & Order season 9 episode 6 "Scrambled." Our guest is Ellyn Marsh from the "I Think Not" podcast.
This episode is based on the 1998 case of Kass v Kass.
