While I appreciated the John Larroquette character's eloquent defense of Shirley's seventeen year old granddaughter, I was annoyed by this episode's casual racist stereotyping. Is there a reason why the mugger had to be a young black man? In a city as segregated as Boston (I know this from personal experience as I grew up in Massachusetts), I find it highly unlikely that a black man would have been allowed to lurk in a parking garage that long--especially if the parking garage was patronized by white high-powered attorneys like the ones featured on Boston Legal. And why was Denny's decision to shoot this guy--twice--not given a more dramatic treatment? The lawyers defending Denny against a possible prison term treated his case more like a farce. Although I like the show, the fact that Denny was ultimately acquitted left a bad taste in my mouth.
