WRONGFUL LIFE

YOUNG MAN IS MURDERED WHILE STEALING KEY FILE IN DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY'S LAWSUIT -- A crucial file in an ugly $20-million lawsuit may be the catalyst behind the murder of a daring young man who was killed while trying to steal evidence for a "wrongful life" court case -- all of which has Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) sorting through a dysfunctional family looking for likely suspects who might want the documents. While the son is a prime suspect, the key clues could lie with his bitter mother Victoria (guest star Talia Balsam) who is suing a doctor for not revealing years earlier that her unborn daughter had a debilitating orthopedic problem -- a fact which could have prompted her to abort the baby. Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B. Vance also star.
