Line 56:
** In a season 16 episode of ''[[Law and Order]]'', after a hit list is discovered with Jack's name on it, Alexandra Borgia advises him to hand the case off to someone else because it might save his life. Five months later {{spoiler|she's tortured and killed because of a case she's working on.}} What's more, Arthur Branch tells Jack she would have fought him tooth and nail if he'd tried to take her off the case.
*** Another example would be an early episode called "Second Opinion", where the victim was killed by a quack remedy for her cancer, and Lt. Van Buren and Detective Briscoe are discussing the woman's condition. Briscoe's actor, Jerry Orbach, died of cancer, and a final season story arc involved Van Buren receiving a scare about possible cancer.
** In an April 2009 episode of ''[[Law and Order: Criminal Intent]]'' entitled "Rock Star", a musician falls to his death in an elevator shaft in a building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. In November of that same year, [[wikipedia:Jerry Fuchs|Jerry Fuchs]], the drummer for various indie rock bands such as !!! and The Juan Maclean, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100113160535/http://www.avclub.com/newyork/articles/drummer-jerry-fuchs-dead-after-fall-down-elevator,35122/ died pretty much the same way in a similar building in the same neighborhood]. However, unlike in the episode, {{spoiler|where the musician was ''pushed'' down the shaft}}, Fuchs actually fell while trying to jump from a stalled elevator to the next floor. Still pretty damn eerie.
** ''[[Law and Order SVU]]'' : [[Life Imitates Art]], although at least one version might have been deliberate: An episode about a pedophile coach aired a few weeks before the Penn State scandal broke and an episode about a couple faking a kidnapping to cover up the {{spoiler|accidental}} death of their baby may have caused a real-life woman to try and do the same thing {{spoiler|maybe she missed the end where they couple was caught}}. Fortunately [[Rule of Three|the next episode]] (about a pair of killers who {{spoiler|kill their classmate and almost succeed in pinning it on a feeble-minded neighbor}}) hasn't happened... as far as we know...
** ''[[Law and Order UK]]: An episode in which the detectives are investigating the shooting death of an officer has DS Matt Devlin musing to partner Ronnie Brooks that it must be tough to lose a partner, then immediately cringing as he remembers that Ronnie ''has'' lost a partner to violence. Another episode that also involved the shooting death of an officer had Ronnie stating, "God forbid Matty here got himself shot, I'd be out there straightaway trying to find who did it and string him up myself"
