SVU

On tonights episode a nanny was murdered. The nanny's husband was away and she was in New York by herself taking care of this family. But the nanny was getting lonely being there all by herself. So she started surfing the internet and chatting with guys on a website. So the detective went out to question first the found the mother of the children and they found her cheating on her husband, but she did give her the names of the nanny's friends. So they then looked into the mother's boyfriend and found out that he was the father of the child not the person who was said to be the father. They went and talk to the friends of the nanny and the said she was using a website to meet guys they found her site and the three guys she was talking to. They talked to all three guys but one of the guys was older and he was the one who killed her because she laughed in his face when she met him because he was to old. The husband of the lady who thought he had children with her ended up killing her because the real father was going to file for visitation of the kid and he got mad, because she was going to let him and laughed when he got mad. This episode goes to show you how people can flip out so easily and do crazy things all over just one thing.

SVU

I just watched an episode of svu about a mother and daughter who were brutally murdered. They really didn't have any clues except their were teeth marks on the bodies and they found out the mother was having an affair. They went to see him at his tennis club and he wouldn't talk until the detectives embarassed him and he finally talked. He told them that the girls were last seen with a homeless guy in the park. When they go to see him and go to where he sleeps and see all the newspaper clippings he has about rapings and murders they then bring him in for questioning. After interigating him they realize that he suffers fro alzimers disease and they don't have any evidence on him anyway. Then they found out that this Banks guy was the last one to see them and they brought him in for questioning. While questioning him the detective offers him a piece of gum. It was trick to get his teeth marks so they could match the teeth marks to the ones on the body. They ended up matching the teeth marks and bringing Banks to court. The judge dismissed the case saying that teeth marks were not enough evidence. But they ended up linking Banks to the Murders because of where he was at certain times.

law & order

yesterday I watched an episode of Law and order. It was about a college student who was murdered. The student spent a lot of time working with her professor on projects and it was assumed that they were having an affair. When the detectives questioned the professor about her killing he denied having anything to do with it even though he saw her last late at night after finishing working on a project. Many people thought he killed her because he was so vein and she was much smarter then he was. Her best friend and her boyfriend were very upset they both couldn't believe it. The detectives really thought that it was the Professor, so they arrested him on campus in front of everyone and brought him in for questioning. There was no hard evidence linking the professor. The y end up finding out she went to the library after being with the professor. They also found that she was having an affair with her best friends boyfriend. So they brought him in for questioning and he wouldn't admit anything. Finally after hours of questioning he breaks and admits to killing her because he didn't want his girlfriend to find out. But after all that even though the professor was inocent he now has a ruined reputation because everyone will remember that he was the guy who was arrested on campus.

SVU

I watched an episode the other day that was different from usual SVU epidsodes. It started out with two maids walking into their clients apartment. They found her handcuffed to the bed with a bag over her head. She was unconscious. They called 911 and the woman was brought to the hospital. She did not die. At first, the woman said that she was raped, but by evidence, it was clear that she was not. At first they thought it was a man who just ended an affair with her, that he might have tried to kill her, but that lead was unsuccessful. When one of the detectives went to the hospital, the woman collapsed and died while walking with the detective. It turns out that she had a glucose level of 2, and normal glucose level is somewhere around 90. She died from an insulin injection. After looking at all possible suspects, the detectives ruled that it was a suicide. After the woman died, they looked on her laptop to see if they could find anything about how she got the insulin. This trail led to a fertility doctor who had a website giving people courage to kill themselves. It turns out that this website was what made her NOT want to kill herself. She looked at it as helping others. Although she ahs te right to tell people whatever she wants, she supplied the other woman with the insulin, as well as helped her handcuff to the bed and put the bag over her head. The doctor had kidney failure and refused to get treatment in a prision hospital. She wanted to die a slow painful death for what happened with the other woman. One of the detectives convinsed her to get treatment because he said suicide was selfish, his own father had killed himself.

SVU

This weeks episode touched on the very contriversal topics of the death penalty and also whether or not putting criminals in a mental hospital vs. jail is still seeking justice for victims. A man raped and brutally beat 2 young girls because he was off his medicine and truly believed he was seeking revenge on boys who had gang raped his younger sister. The DA feels in her heart that this man should not be given the death penalty and should be sent to a mental institution however it is her job to represent "the people" and the people want him in jail or dead for what he did. Its sad because once this man is back on his meds he is so sick about what he did that he actually wants to die. It feels wrong to feel sorry for someone who did such horrible things but what if it really wasnt his fault? I'm not sure if I believe that the death penalty is ever good, officers argue in this episode that the death penalty for rape is justified because rapists are shown to not only rape once but continuously. I feel for the man if he really did not know what he was doing and maybe he just does need help, but justice does need to be given to these 11 year old girls who almost died. The episode did not have a good ending, in fact we are left not really knowing what happens but either way I feel these issues are very touchy and there is a fine line between pleading mentally insane and actually being it, therefor altering whether or not the death penalty is justifiable in certain cases.

Law + Order; SVU * [CARELESS]

I just got finished watching an episode of SVU that absolutely made me sick. A young boy, about six years old, is killed. At first a priest is suspected of killing the boy during a "midnight exorcism". They find a mark from the priests ring on the boys chest that confirms this. They later go on to find out the boy was dead prior to the "exorcism". This leads detectives to believe the child's foster parents had something to do with it. Upon an investigation in the house where the child was staying, detectives find a pillow with bite marks on it as well as its pillow case, which had been found in the Tish, which match those of the victim. The fibers in the pillow match those found in the boys throat. This leads detective to believe his foster parents were behind the killing. The father is charged with the murder of his foster son. Later, we find out that is wasn't the father but his mother that smothered him. Apparently, they had been housing another child, a girl, and she had walked in on it and was then cut with a cheese grater by her foster mother. To cover it up, they sent her to a mental hospital and say she has gone crazy. It makes me sick to think that the social worker, who hadn't checked on the family in months just because she believe they were in good care, could have potentially prevented the death of this boy but had cases that were apparently more important.

Law & Order

Last night I watched an episode of Law & Order that commented on the inability of gay couples to adopt children as a couple in certain states, namely Florida. At the beginning of the episode, a woman was found dead after falling from a balcony at a swanky hotel. In the end, we find out that the woman was the partner of a woman who had been excommunicated from the victim (by the victim) and their adopted child's lives. The partner was angry that the woman had run away with their daughter and moved to New York and she couldn't do anything about it because technically, she was not an adopted parent because the law said gay couples can not adopt. This episode definitely was making a comment on the issue of gay marriage and gay parenting. All the officials who worked the case believed that the woman should have been able to adopt the child both as parents and not just one as a single parent. At the end of the episode, McCoy made the comment that why shouldn't they (meaning gay couples) be able to marry and adopt as a couple and be miserable just like the rest of us... interesting way to put it. The authors of the episode played up the emotions of the audience by having the partner describe how things were so perfect between her and the adopted daughter and that her only wish was to be able to have rights as a mother.

SVU *

This weeks episode just showed how media can truly influence the world and completely change peoples ideas. It was about a serial killer who was put in jail for murdering a bunch of woman and then proceeded to draw and illustrate them in comics he wrote. The sad thing about this was this man had fans all over who were obsessed with him to the point that some believed they were truly friends and other thought they'd one day marry him. The obsession went deeper than that though; many thought he should be released from jail. It was quite sick to think that people would actually help a man like this get out of jail. He brutally murdered all these woman for no true reason and they felt like that was okay. Just goes to show how something so little as a comic and a fan club can influence peoples minds so drastically.

SVU

this weeks episode of SVU really anoyed me. There was a very sick serial killer in jail and he had a fan club of people who read his comics and actually were obssessed with him and wanted him out. This made me really mad because I dont understand how there are people in this world who feel this way. This man brutally killed people and they want to help him get out of jail? It also made me feel for the victims families who want a serial killer put away and here he is in jail getting fan letters. Thankfully at the end he was put in a much stricter unit and was only aloud 1 hour a day to shower eat ect. and no letters!!

Law Order SVU

In this weeks episode SVU a girl was murdered and mutalated. Then SVU found a bunch of comics that went along with that murder and other murders. There is a guy in jail who did kill all these women before but they don't know who killed this last girl. The guy in jail does have a fan club. People who think they will marry and people who think they are best buddies with him are in the club. The president in of the club is a girl who is his fiance and the vice president is a guy who was his best bud in jail and learned everything from him. People are very sick and it is sad that things like this happen. It actually is very sad that people get obsessed with crazy people like this and are fighting to get them out of jail. People need to realize that these people are not normal and are in jail for a reason.

Law and Order: SVU

Today I watched an episode of Law and Order:SVU about corruption among the detectives in the Special Victims Unit. The detectives were under investigation because of a man they were trying for murder who used their previous slip ups to discredit them. Detective Stabler was accused of getting his daughter's DUI charge dismissed, which ended up being true, while Detective Benson was found to have given money to her brother who was a fugitive. Detective Tutuola, who happened the be the defendant's previous step dad was hit the worst when the defendant revealed that he held evidence in his car for a day after he found it on a criminal. I think this episode was blatantly commenting on the amount of corruption among the police, even when it's so called "good cops". I think the writers of the episode were trying to make the audience see that even cops are normal people and they sometimes make mistakes too, or help out their families, like anyone would.
