"Commuted Sentences" is John Dove's third episode of New York. The last episode he wrote was "Sleight Out of Hand" in season three. New York fans might recognize Dove from his appearances on the show as Detective John Scagnetti, aka "Detective Prada" ("Grand Murder at Central Station"), during the show's second season.

OMG, I did not realize that the guy who played Detective Scagnetti was a writer for the show! That's pretty cool. :D I kinda liked "Detective Prada", I hope we see his character on the show again soon, hehe. And Angell will be in this episode too, I love her. ;)

Anthony Ruivivar as Det. Ruben Bejarano
Woot! :D I loved watching him on Traveler (I still hate ABC for treating the show like crap and then cancelling it) as Agent Borjes. I gotta remember to watch Without a Trace after; I stopped watching the show last year.
