CBS Developing Two New Crime Dramas

The Hollywood Reporter's Live Feed blog is reporting that CBS is developing two dramas that have criminal elements.

From CSI creator Anthony Zuiker comes Desperado, a Texas-based Justified-esque series about lawmen who bring cowboy-style justice to San Antonio.

And from Michael Cuesta (Dexter) comes Knife Fight, in which a female public defender becomes a prosecutor in search of the truth. It is based on a short story of the same title by mystery writer Joel Goldman that appeared in The Prosecution Rests, edited by Linda Fairstein (who's developing her own series, One Police Plaza, for ABC).
