Watch Grace and Frankie, he still does plenty of lecturing and eyebrow flying in that show.

Those are my favorite eyebrows!!!

The evidence did come out in pre-trial discovery but was disallowed as proof for the crime due to a procedural glitch. As evidence challenging the defendant's credibility, however, it was admissable. But it wasn't any kind of surprise for the defence.

This is why witnesses need legal counsel, although it appears there's no amount of coaching in the world that would prevent the kid from blurting out his heroin use and thus incriminating himself.

I get the reference, but in truth, the uncle was portrayed as a leech who didn't pay for the trips. Apparently, the high-powered attorney was a skinflint.

I remember that character. “You better not wreck my vacation you little sour Puss! Your dad is paying good money for it!” Kevin then burns him by stating that he didn’t wanna ruin the cheapskates fun

Kevin's dad paid for it

Ha ha ha Gd one sir

Kevin's dad is the compromised police officer in Sopranos. That's how it was paid for.

Is it really?

It can be

Given his age, even with parole, the deal could very well be the rest of it.

Nice

The actor was actually only 20 years old. Not while this episode was filmed, but at some point in his life previously.

The actor was only in his early 60s when this episode was made. If his character was about the same age and got out in 10 years (after parole in 8 plus 2 for larcency), he still probably had a decade or more left to life a mostly free man, versus a minimum 25 year sentence, which would have been a virtual life sentence.

The first witness (the young guy) also played serial killer Gregory Yates a few seasons ago on Law & Order SVU!

​@@rhuephus they know it's scripted that's why they said the acting was good, but you can still tell based on their acting what the character was supposed to have prepared for or not in the show's universe

Yep

Yep!!! good old cheapskate uncle frank XD

Kind of like Sen. Fred Thompson, eh? A career politician with a hobby in show business. Nice!

i knew i recognized him

We don’t but thank you

Really? I didn’t know that!

he was, he and Fred Thompson acted while still serving in Congress but only Thompson was starring…Serrano was in his third term then

YES! This describes exactly how I felt! 🤣🤣🤣

Ivy League schools are for the children of old money too dumb to make it in reputable universities, but rich enough to buy proof of excellence.

u literally copied someone else’s comment word for word lol

Seems pretty mind to be an addict. I always thought being an addiction was someone who indulged in the behavior almost if not every single day.

When people told him weed was a gateway drug, he believed them and used them for that reason.

He didn’t even need to bring up heroin since they ask about weed, he shot himself in the foot

I've knew a guy who started out smoking weed and the next thing I knew he was using magic mushrooms. Apparently the weed just wasn't doing it for him even with larger quantities. I can only hope for his sake that he never moves down to heroin.

I’ve had family members and a couple of friends that started doing weed then tried other stronger stuff . A few stared on prescription drugs before they went to weed. Not everyone who try’s weed or does weed will go to stronger more dangerous drugs . But you can’t think automatically because they do weed they won’t or not doing stronger more dangerous drugs because I know for a fact that’s not true.

What all the way? Is there some a list of drugs one must graduate from first before moving to the next? Oops skipped acid, no meth for you.

The best McCoy-ism was in the episode involving the college girl running an on-campus prostitution ring from which one of the girls ended up dead. Father helped her skip the jurisdiction when arrest was imminent: "I can't believe she had to take an emergency flight to Switzerland in the dead of night because the ski runs were melting."

Me too

Not the first time a retiring congressman was a character in the L&O universe. A former senator was an ADA I think. Ps: not from the US and not a Full time L&O follower. If I start to watch with dedication I will not have a life

@@otaviofrn_adv Fred Dalton Thompson actually began on L&O as Arthur Branch while he was still a sitting Senator from Tennessee.

Serrano didn't retire until 2018, so he was a sitting House member during this episode.

@@DNSKansas Really enjoyed watch Thompson in his role on L&O.

Who?

To be fair if he was called, didn't lie about seeing her and then actually tried to get her to a hospital and she died on the way or when they go there, he would of been fine.

His righteous indignation is AWESOME, lol!

Cue the IRS and Joe Black on McCoy's doorstep by morning.

McCoy knows the city like the back of his hand, if he named a hospital that was out of the way, he would've called him out on it.

He can probably name the closest hospital to his area -- but the closest hospital to whatever out-of-the-way back alley he dumped the victim in is more of a stretch.

Because he probably didn’t take her to one. McCoy would have said he check the records of every hospital and there was no record anywhere.

@FRANCO PEREZ Thankfully no. And I hope I'll never have to.

@FRANCO PEREZ I was close to a friend in high school. Her mother was a cocaine addict. Her father had to kick her out of the house for 6 years. She's still going through rehab from what I was told.

Well, cutting ties with your love ones usually means you also cut the money supply, or at least it makes more diffiult to the addict to get money more easy

@@KanaidBlack Yes

@FRANCO PEREZ Well, I'm no expert. I'm merely stating what I know. What do you know about having a loved one that's an addict?

Human decency

@@yoonginavy4967 actually what he did was decent. When you become that level of a pathetic leeching degenerate addict you’re way better off.

Yeah because next time you see them you might be the one on the wrong side of the facts. There is nothing personal in this for the lawyers. They aren't the ones who did the stupid thing that has lead their clients to be in court. Lawyers need to get on with each other or they'll go mad. If anything tv shows tend to be unrealistic in that they show lawyers taking things personally, which is a really bad thing for their clients (and their duty to the court). The show Suits is terrible in this regard because the lawyers all seem to take their clients problems personally

No sane defence lawyer would put his client on the stand when there has been evidence of guilt suppressed before the trial. By asserting anything on the stand, he busts open the door for the prosecution to use ANYTHING to rebut his claims... Besides, the case was clearly going for either an acquittal or a hung jury. There was no chance 12 jurors would vote to convict.

Unfortunately even Perry Mason would be hard-pressed to override the arrogance of a client determined to tell his story his way when he's sure he can beat anything. I'm sure counsel advised very strongly not to testify, and his client ignored the advice.

Thank you I kept staring and was like he looks so dang familiar. Aww man I kind of loved Yates during Chicago P.D and SVU crossover.

Glad someone finally included the "on the weekend" part. Not that that makes this any better.

"objection my witness can't tell marijuana from cocaine so he clearly is too dumb to do drugs"

He wasn't wrong.

Except for the fact that junkies were brought into this world the same as we were. And rather than learning to cope with trauma and neglect in a healthy fashion, they turned to drugs. At the end of the day, drug addicts are people all the same, they have a fucking disease called “addictive personality disorder” and have been tossed aside by the world. Luckily some people recover, some don’t get the chance, I only hope the number of people who get the chance to get help get better with time

But, oh! He’s sooo attractive!

I think his hair looks great here.

He always had great hair.

His hair is really thick, even now.

Yeah and too much computery technobabble nonsense. I miss when it was normal like this.

@@allbutperfectare you always so confident when you’re wrong. A simple look at the ratings would be enough. He left in season 12. 8.84 rating. No other season since then has matched that. There has been a downward trend as well. The past five seasons have been worse then the worst of the original mainline series. The season 20 that they were canceled after.

It's just the Olivia Benson Show now.

Drama show, so plays a bit loose with how the law actually works.

Phoenix Capricorn thank you! I knew I recognized him! According to the Law and Order Wiki, he’s played six different characters in the shows.

Berit Hogan thank you. I learned something new from you.

As Dr. Yates he was mesmerizing. I loved watching him.

I was just about to say

Thank you! Someone with sense!

Weird... we have a whole Constitution that talks about the things we're entitled to in the US.

FRANCO PEREZ I agree

Money and connections can do a lot !

Yeah. FWPs.

Yup like run a country into the ground!

It is big that's why the judge called them in his chambers. And that's why the defense lawyer is so bothered and he took the deal. It just proved he is a liar which taints his credibility in the court. Nothing he will say will be easily believed. So a jury might find him guilty.

Since the defendant decided to testify in his own defence, his credibility was subject to attack, hence the evidence from the search in the car was admissible on those grounds.

@@LordZontar I don't remember the episode was the vomit in the car admitted into evidence?

@@LordZontar I don't get how talking about inadmissible evidence isn't just prejudicing the jury like as its stated goal

@@MrJstorm4 The evidence became admissible when the defendant himself opened the door to attacks on his credibility in rebuttal. This is why a good lawyer always tries to keep his idiot client from testifying on the stand.

yep

“Cancel culture” where no one has been damaged by it. But you were around when the right tried to ban Stern, Opie and Anthony, video games, and music? Even in these shows where they say weed is the same as heroin you agree even the facts show otherwise? And today the guy running as the Republican candidate said he’d be a dictator day one, bragged about intervening in the DOJ, tried to say that the election was rigged when it was found he had called officials to threaten votes, and fiddled with electors, tried to stop the constitutional process of transferring power, and then said we should suspend THE CONSTITUTION to “put him in the seat of power”. But you’re so sensitive you just care that there are people that voice opinions different than yours. What a weakling! No wonder the country is a mess with people like you as “role models”. Or maybe we can go back to “the good old days” when you weren’t allowed to voice an opinion woman.

I couldn't agree with you more 💯😊

Drama show, not reality show.

I'm really starting to doubt you guys after watching real criminal cases. I've seen actual defense attorney act way worse than this without being repreimanded

Nothing compared to the circus Lance Ito allowed his courtroom to become during the OJ trial.

Eh, nothing the judge did indicated a lack of control. A good judge does not interfere.

@@LordZontar Yeah, a homicide trial shouldn't last eight months.

I take it you never talked 1 on 1 with a judge, and it shows.

@@Saintbow Are you referring to me?

Ewww it's Cosso no wonder that face look familiar

No one ever said this show was realistic. Besides, both men knew that guy was guilty and that McCoy couldn't use anything he said in court anyhow.

I've been sitting here wracking my brain to remember who he is , big thank you!

Ian Fleming reckoned that a Windsor knot was the mark of a cad along with handkercheifs in the top pocket, suede shoes, and regimental ties.

Yates

@@tami6951 In Chicago PD right? The one who killed Nadia

Yes this actor appeared in at least 3 episodes of law and order before he was on law and order svu

Actually in the real world it would be difficult to win on appeal, the defense attorney's claim notwithstanding. McCoy is correct that he can impeach the credibility of the defendant on the stand since the defendant opened the door by making false assertions. Legally the jury should only evaluate the supressed evidence to find that he the defendant is liar not to show he actually committed the crime, but juries in the real world rarely make that distinction.

​@@semicron5159 5:51 He points out it would never survive an appeal. If he is sure of that then letting his client do the max just seems weird. God bless you.

@@FeedingFrenzy91 Lawyers always confidentialy say they will win when negotiating pleas to get a better deal. When McCoy said he was not afraid of an appeal, the lawyer knew he was done.

@@semicron5159 Still seems a bit unrealistic. Like the earlier eps of law and order did things that wouldn't even be legally allowed like surprising the defense with a piece of evidence when the prosecution is required to let the defense know. Like, compare the earlier ones to the later ones and the later ones at least tried to be more realistic.

John Ritter.

@@tomduffy3965 is that the guy on the witness stand? Also I don't know why but I didn't see a notification of your comment. I just received a notification of a "like" just now.

His name is Dallas Roberts. He's in everything lol

He's the brother in good wife and butchered the continuity of the Law and Order Universe by playing a bunch of characters in various spin-offs throughout the years.

@@tomduffy3965it’s not John Ritter the actor is Dallas Roberts he later played the sadistic serial killer Dr Yates on crossover of Chicago PD and SVU during first season of Chicago PD.

Then you weren't responsible enough to be on a jury, you should have asked to be excused for personality flaws or an inability to follow procedure

The person above me is exactly correct. If you are telling the truth and were ACTUALLY on a jury, then you didn't do your duty. If them just standing in front of you pisses you off, maybe you should have excused yourself eh? Hopefully you are just full of it.
