Crime and Punishment

The series goes inside the District Attorney's office of San Diego County, California, as they prepared and tried cases. It involved going behind the scenes with the prosecutors as they prepared for the trial and provided three-camera coverage of the courtroom. Crime & Punishment has been described as a cross between a drama and a documentary or "drama-mentary". The series was created and executive produced by Wolf, along with Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Bill Guttentag. David J. Kanter is co-creator and executive producer, and follows prosecutors from the San Diego County District Attorney's office as they investigate and try cases, while viewers see the drama unfold from real-life victims, prosecutors, family members and defendants. Based on reports from real-life cases.

Addison and Charlotte work to save the lives of a comatose pregnant woman and her unborn child; Meg ruffles feathers when she begins seeing patients at Oceanside; and Violet seeks Kevin's advice when a patient is suspected of killing his wife.

Crime and Punishment focuses on the mental anguish and moral dilemmas of Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, an impoverished ex-student in St. Petersburg who formulates and executes a plan to kill an unscrupulous pawnbroker for her money. Raskolnikov argues that with the pawnbroker's money he can perform good deeds to counterbalance the crime, while ridding the world of a worthless parasite. He also commits this murder to test his own hypothesis that some people are naturally capable of, and even have the right to do, such things. Several times throughout the novel, Raskolnikov justifies his actions by connecting himself mentally with Napoleon Bonaparte, believing that murder is permissible in pursuit of a higher purpose.
