OTD 2017 #ChicagoJustice Drill. After his unlikely win of a court order to terminate gang members' smart phone service, Stone's key witness backs out in justified fear for his and his son's lives. Stone delivers the shaky case status to Jefferies in a brilliantly layered scene.

When you weren't there to cling to tired bromides that allow killers to go free.

Mark Jefferies

I had to look this name up because that’s how much of an impression the Chicago Justice State Attorney made on me. I don’t know whether the writers have figured out who they want this character to be.

The first time I saw the character was on the Chicago PD episode prior to the OneChicago event (According to IMDB he was on two episodes before that). He showed up to question Voight and Olinksy about not having yet arrested a father who’d ordered a hit on the man who he believed killed his daughter. His dissatisfaction with their pace led to his implying there was racial bias. He showed up at the bar at the end of the episode and paid for Olinsky’s drink as an apology and shared his frustration over a 15 year old black kid’s shooter going free.

I couldn’t tell in the OneChicago event whether he cared or whether he only wanted to be sure that his job was not jeopardized. He specifically told Peter Stone not to do something which Peter Stone did and it “almost” cost them the case, yet there was no follow-up from Jefferies whatsoever. And in the second CJ episode, he didn’t seem to care about the dead guy or the fact that an innocent man could be held accountable for a murder he did not commit. It seemed to totally contradict the sentiment he expressed to Olinsky in the bar.

I have no idea what he stands for and that’s not a good characteristic to be lacking in the leader of a team. Law and Order uses characters in this position as an anchor who guides the prosecuting team by sharing the wisdom of his/her experience. Maybe having a selfish leader would be different but one who is not defined is not good for a new show.
