re: Great moral dilemmas in TV/film + What would you have done?

McNulty tampering with crime scenes (turning natural deaths into murders) to put more pressure on a legit evil murderer. I would have supported him in this case, but it's a very slippery slope. It certainly couldn't be a widespread practice since it will eventually lead to innocents getting framed by police, but Marlo needed to be in prison.

If you're going to do that, why not just catch him and execute him? I mean, what's the difference? Once you go outside the law, you become a sovereign of one - in for a penny, in for a pound.
