It’s another Melrose/true-crime crossover — this time, 1995’s In The Name Of Love: A Texas Tragedy, featuring Laura Leighton as a victim of the class wars in small-town Texas; Bonnie “Mark Greene’s Mom” Bartlett as her snooty aunt-in-law; and writing that echoes John Hughes’s clumsiest eat-the-rich instincts. Was it half an hour too long? Why isn’t there a book about the case? And why the F is Luke trying to cover up his crime in an open field in broad daylight?
