NEW YORK -- April 5, 2005 -- Bronson Pinchot ("Perfect Strangers") guest stars as Dr. Gregory Ross, a dentist whose wife mysteriously dies, on NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," Sunday, April 10th (9-10 p.m. ET/PT).

They also focus on who could have obtained the poison but their crucial clue is jealousy - which begins with another dead woman. Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B. Vance also star.
