Blind Justice Trivia:

Blind Justice was spoofed on the March 12, 2005 episode of "Saturday Night Live" in a skit about a fake TV ad for a "Deaf Judge" and an "Idiot Doctor". Steven Bocho was the creator, writer and producer of Blind Justice. He got the idea for the series from a mystery novel that he wrote in 2003 titled "Death by Hollywood. A character in that novel was also a writer who had written a short story about a detective who was rendered blind in the line of duty.

Bocho was very thoughtful about the fact that visually challenged people might be fans of Blind Justice. As a service to those "viewers", the series was the first scripted show from ABC to contain a second audio channel for those viewers that described what was happening on each episode.
