Law & Order Episode Incorporates Estate Tax Mess

On May 10th, NBC aired an episode of Law & Order entitled The Taxman Cometh.  This episode has as its central plot point the lack of an estate tax in 2010.  A brief summary of the episode from Fancast is below:

Detectives Cyrus Lupo (Jeremy Sisto) and Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson) are called in to investigate the death of a young heiress, Annie Douglas (guest star Morgan Lynch), who died of an apparent drug overdose. The detectives begin to suspect her cousin, Randy (guest star Daniel Abeles), whose inheritance was increased due to Annie’s death. As the investigation continues, Annie’s greedy relatives reveal another recent loss in the group. The case becomes more than a family matter as an experimental cancer clinic, fraudulent adoptions and unborn children are tied into the case.
