“It is not uncommon for criminals to use the criminal justice system as a means of revenge. They often understand the system better than most citizens, and how to manipulate it to their advantage.”

1973-74, there was a TV show called the Snoop Sisters starring Helen Hayes and Mildred Natwick as two older amateur sleuths.

One exchange with a suspected felon went something like this, Suspected Felon to Helen Hayes as Agatha Snoop, "Madam, I know the law."

Helen Hayes' reply, "Scallywags always do."

There were only 5 episodes as it rotated on Wednesdays with Banacek and a couple of other shows, but the ladies were a delight to watch.

OOPS!

Helen Hayes' character was Ernesta Snoop. Not Agatha Snoop.
