...powerful people behaving their worst when the stakes matter the most. As a craftsman, Spelling would no doubt appreciate the tortuous tale of Susan Chrzanowski, a Michigan judge and divorce who, over the course of a year, journeyed from pillar of the community to key witness at her married lover's murder trial and then to focal point of public rancor over the deceit and misconduct produced by the desires that lurk beneath black robes...
Judge Chrzanowski, 34, and Michael Fletcher, 31, started working together in 1997, when Fletcher, fresh from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, was her clerk in Michigan's 37th District Court, in Warren.

What Ullmann does believe is that when his lover confessed her enforced unfaithfulness, "he lost control, and I think that's the only time in life that he lost control, and he abandoned her--I mean completely." To borrow a phrase, "After such knowledge, what forgiveness...
