In this episode: Jack McCoy (2), Judge Wright (2), Lennie Briscoe (1), Rey Curtis (1)
Does the defense wish to make a motion?
CPL 290.10. The defense moves to set aside the jury's verdict.
Objection! The prosecution proved its case!
What case, Mr. McCoy? Have we gone so far down the road of political correctness that sex between willing partners is now called rape?! The girl said yes!
She has the mind of a child!
Well, she's mature enough to be plenty intrigued by her own sexuality. Face it, counselor. She had the time of her life. Case dismissed.
Now, Valerie, Hayden called you a retard, and you told him you weren't. Is that right?
Yes, sir.
And after that, did he keep on calling you a retard?
No.
Did you like what the boys did to you?
I did what I wanted.
Your honor, the defense requests you deny the state's motion to reverse your prior ruling.
Granted.
You set aside the jury's verdict, because you unfairly held the state responsible for proving the boys' prior knowledge. The state has now done so, and you STILL refuse?!!
Mr. McCoy, it's over! There is no case here. There never was!
How would you know?! You made up your mind before you heard the first word of testimony!
You're on thin ice, counselor! The defense request is granted! The state's motion is denied! You want to appeal?! Be my guest!
[after seeing Cathy's dead body]
She was my baby, Rey! What am I gonna do?
Come home with me, partner.
