The excellent job you did as Saul Picard's defense attorney. Judge Bradley called me.
I told him he must be mistaken, since I only have prosecutors working in this office. At least I thought I did. Until I got this. [hands Novak a notice]
What matters is what's in it. 5 years ago, the cops responded to a disturbance call in your apartment. You told the officers it was a mistake, but it isn't true, is it?
My fiancee Charlie, he attacked me. He was a schizophrenic, and he was off his medication. When the police saw the cuts and bruises on my face and neck, they wanted to arrest Charlie. But I thought I could help him. So, I identified myself as an ADA, and I begged them not to take him in.
You abused the authority of this office for personal reasons back then, just like you're doing now!
Sick people like Saul Picard shouldn't be put to death!
The last time I checked, the Supreme Court still says you can't execute a mentally ill person in this country.
And what if a jury found him responsible, because he was lucid when he decided to stop taking his medication?
That's not your problem. That's why he has a defense attorney.
No defense attorney could make a jury see past what he did to those little girls.
So you weren't about to take a chance he'd be convicted?
Because he belongs in a hospital, not a prison cell, and you know it.
I'll tell you what I know. You're going to stay on this case through the 730 hearing, and you're going to behave yourself, because if you don't, I'm not only going to fire you. I'll make sure the bar yanks your license. And if you don't think I have the juice to do it, try me.

Docket ending 2500. People v. Jadon Odami.
On the charge of murder in the second degree, how do you plead?
WWoodrow
Not guilty, your honor.
JJadon
That's not what I told you to say.
WWoodrow
You were coerced during interrogation.
Your honor, there was no coercion. The defendant freely confessed.
WWoodrow
Really? What, his mother just happened to pop in during the middle of his interview?
JJadon
Your honor, I killed Julie Donovan. I plead guilty.
Listen to your attorney, son.
JJadon
[turns to his attorney] You fired. [unamused, Woodrow shakes his head and leaves the courtroom] Okay. He's not my lawyer now.
[Stabler and Benson just found out that Tommy isn't Jake's son and are walking through the precinct hallway while discussing whether or not to tell Jake]
He has the right to know.
It's not our place to tell him.
Jake is raising a child that biologically isn't his. He's married to a woman who's being unfaithful. You think that ignorance is bliss?
First of all, Tommy is his son. And Jake is the only father he's ever known. Now they love each other. Why do you want to mess with that?
Because it's not fair to Jake or Tommy.
If Leah Keegan wants to tell her husband that Tommy's not his, that's her choice, not ours.
[Benson spots Jake sitting in a chair, having overheard what Stabler just said]
JJake
What do you mean? Tommy's not my son?
Please tell the jury what happened.

I was walking home from work on 168th Street when I saw a man beat a boy with a metal pipe.
[shows a photo of the victim] This is the victim, Damon Moore. Is he the boy you saw?
And the man who beat him to death, is he in this courtroom?
[in a moment of silence, Chuckwei stares at King, who stares back; afterwards, Chuckwei points at him]
CChuckwei
That is the man. There.
He's a liar. The cops are makin' him lie!
BBrayden
Dennis, shut up!
CChuckwei
No! NO! [jumps out of his seat] You murdered that boy in front of a crowd of people! And in front of GOD!!
[storms out of his seat, topples the table, and charges at Chuckwei] You're a dead man! You're a dead man! Ya hear me?!
[Stabler grabs King and pins him to the ground]
JJudge
Order! ORDER! Get the jury out of here! Court officers!
[the court officers grab King]
Get 'em off! Get off me! [to Chuckwei] You're dead! Your family's dead! Everything you love is dead! You're dead!
JJudge
Take the defendant to lockup!
[Benson and Stabler walk up to Chuckwei]
CChuckwei
Yes. I'm no longer afraid.
[The rape and murder of a wealthy teen seems to point detectives to a gang of street kids.]
The earring was hawked by Sunshine Smith, who lives at 6789 Peekaboo Lane. That's a fairy tale, friend.

Now that you read it back to me, it does sound a tad bit suspicious.
[Benson works with FBI profiling agent Lauren Cooper when a dead man and woman are found in central park due to an anonymous tip. The woman is though to have been killed by a serial killer called 'the woodsman'.]
I don't think we need to hear anymore.
I speak for the dead and I'm not done.
