Re: Spoilers on future episodes
I'm not saying that Mac wouldn't *want* to help Stella, because obviously they're friends. I'm just saying that from the viewpoint of the department it makes sense that the case that is more likely to be blown out of proportion on a NATIONAL level will take precedence.
Let's put it this way...pretty much EVERYONE across America watched the OJ Simpson trial. OJ Simpson the football player who is a part of America's pop culture. But I can pretty much guarantee that if a cop murders someone in New York that it's not going to be a top story in the Florida news. What I'm saying is that the national media would come in to play a little more heavily on a case concerning a rock star than on a case concerning a local cop. Thus it's only natural that Mac, as department head, would most likely take the Kid Rock case. Thus I'm saying it makes sense to me for that reason.
