Will She Put Herself on Trial?

Annabella Sciorra is joining Law & Order: Criminal Intent in the Fall. She'll be playing Chris Noth's partner in the non-D'Onofrio episodes. But the thing is, she played a defense attorney on "Law & Order: Trial By Jury," which is supposed to be set in the same world as "CI."

I know they do that kind of thing all the time, but it bugs me, man!
