Brady: We have to use every tool available to catch killers, and the database is helpful. It helps us close cases, murder cases, sexual assault cases.
Captain Olivia Benson: I understand that. But I have fought this fight before, and I think that we can all agree that that database is an ethical mess.
Brady: That's your opinion.
Captain Olivia Benson: No, that is a fact. If Laura Kingsbury knew that her DNA was being used in this capacity, who knows what she would have done or not done? And that is the real problem. If word gets out, if women find out that their DNA is being used in some rogue database, they might not come forward. They might not consent to a rape kit.
Brady: It's not ideal. I agree. But Laura's case is highly unusual. And the majority of sexual assault victims do not end up in the local database.
Price: These are all valid points, noble arguments, but none of it changes the fact that Laura Kingsbury murdered someone. We have the evidence, and that evidence is legal.
Captain Olivia Benson: Well, let's see what a judge says about that.
