           "Here Comes the Judge" -- Sebastian prosecutes the case of the murdered wife of a star arch-conservative judge who is less than thrilled that his archenemy, Sebastian, is involved in the investigation, on a rebroadcast of SHARK, Thursday, May 31 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Steve Gomer directed the episode written by Ken Woodruff.  (Originally broadcast 2/15/07)

           Emmy Award nominee Tim Matheson ("The West Wing") guest stars as Judge Andrew Bennett, whose wife was fatally stabbed in an airport parking garage.  Illeana Douglas ("To Die For," "Six Feet Under") returns as top-rate defense attorney Gloria Dent.  

           Judge Bennett's ultra-conservative, hard-nosed stances in court have long put him at odds with Sebastian, and the two continue to exchange barbs during the investigation.  As Sebastian and his team start to look into the long list of judge's enemies and other suspects, Sebastian is anything but coy regarding his hopes that the image-obsessed judge ends up being the guilty party.  Meanwhile, unaware of Julie's crush on her young handsome bodyguard, Neal, Sebastian is surprised that Julie isn't elated when he decides it's finally safe for her to leave the house without an armed escort.
