I just found out that Gallagher wasn't supposed to be assigned this case. He birddogged it. He used all of us, show boating to start his political career.

Calhoun

Kat: Zoey is worried the jury will see her as a crazy slut who tricked him. [Gabe]. Are we in trouble?
Carisi: We always knew this was a risk.
Kat: She's a good person, just trying to pay her bills. He's the crazy one.
Carisi: I know that. My job is to make sure the jury knows it.

Fin: Gabe isn't lying. The more he looks at that screen, the more he thinks that's real and this is a simulation.
Carisi: I don't buy it.
Fin: The more you're a DA, the more you forget being a cop. You gotta get out of your head and into his.

Benson: How's Zoey holding up?
Kat: Not great. She's worried a jury will judge her for being a cam girl.
Fin: She's right and they will.

Kat: It's bad enough Gabe is representing herself, but now he gets to go to her apartment?
Carisi: Under a new law passed last January, the defense is allowed to investigate the scene of the crime.
Kat: Zoey is freaked out. She wants to be there.
Carisi: That's not a good idea, but that's her perogative.
Kat: Isn't there anything you can do?
Carisi: You mean change state law in the next hour? No, I can't.
Kat: Aren't you supposed to protect the victim?
Carisi: Actually, my job is to uphold the law.

Carisi: I gave this guy a better deal than he deserved. I don't know what he wants.
Benson: I do. He wants her.

Zoey: Wait a second. About six months ago I was really upset. My father didn't remember my name. Gabe said he knew a lot of lawyers who did elder care.
Fin: And he recommended this place?
Zoey: Yeah. Oh my God. I did this. I let a crazy man into my life, into my father's life.

I don't care how deluded he is. That's not a defense.

Benson

Zoey: Someone recorded that? They're not supposed to.
Benson: They were concerned that you didn't want that.
Zoey: I didn't. I was raped. But I'm a cam girl. I thought if I went to the police, they would laugh at me.

Sugarfab owner: As I told you on the phone, the girls expect us to protect their anonymity.
Carisi: Well, we're trying to protect her. Here's a subpoena for Kendra Dream's information.
Owner: You really think one of our subscribers did this?
Benson: How else would they know when her act was going to go live?
Owner: Oh dear. If this is true, it really is a dark day at Sugarfab.

Benson: The owner of the site says the girls' anonymity is sacrosanct.
Carisi: Next time you need a warrant, just call me.
Benson: Oh, we miss you. And he also said he'd only talk to the guy who went to lawyer school.

Larry: Kendra never did a scene with anyone else before and the way she was crying at the end, I'd never seen her like that.
Fin: Why did you record it?
Larry: Well, I figured if it was an assault it would be good to have evidence. Kendra and I are really close.
Kat: Hmm: So you know her real name, her address, her phone number?
Larry: It's not like that. She's a cam girl. I do know she's in New York because during the pandemic one night, she applauded for the medical workers.
Fin: You ever try to find out where she lives, Larry?
Larry: I'm not a creep! Look, something bad happened to her. I tried to reach out to her last night. She took her room down.

Law & Order: SVU Quotes

Benson: Thank you for coming forward.
Woman: What this company is doing, the way it treats women pilots, is despicable. But what you're doing... it's about damn time.

We have two options. One is bad. The other is worse. Either we missed one or... Yeats has a copycat.
