Law & Order Criminal Intent

The episode of Law & Order I watched this week was very different from others. A man's wife was found murdered however unlike all the other episodes where the detectives would assume the husband to be a suspect until ruled out, the detectives could not do this because he was a highly respected judge. The new detective did not understand this and kept questioning him and being "rude". The DA and her partner took her aside and told her that she had to respect him because of his place in the judicial system. She did not understand why this man was getting different treatmeant from what other suspects normallly would. The detectives even let him sit in while they checked out the crime scene which is never allowed. In the end the dectives finally had enough information on the judge to arrest him however it just goes to show you how corupt the court system can be.

SVU

I watched a disturbing episode of SVU today. It started out with a young woman coming to the police station to report a rape. She said that she was raped by her father when she was 11 years old. She wanted to report it now becasue she said that he was doing it again, but this time with her younger sister. After investigating, mens underwear and child pornography pictures were found in the younger sisters room. After another investigation of this evidence, it was found that the older sister, Meghan, had planted the evidence to make sure that her dad couldn't hurt them anymore. He never went to trial because the evidence was planted. The day after this, the father was found shot and killed in his office. After another long investigation, the detectives discovered that the middle daughter had shot her father when her and Meghan went to go talk to him at his office. She did it to make him stop hurting her sisters. Throughout their entire investigation, the detectives had been talking to Meghan's therapist. It turns out that she had given Meghan a "truth serum" that made her hallucinate. The therapist convinced her that her father had raped her, even though he did not.

SVU ; [WASTE] *

Today I watched an episode of SVU and from the very beginning it was a complete shock. It starts with a patient who is in the ICU. She was just transferred to the hospital from a rehab center as she has been there since she got into a car accident a year before. The doctor tending to her called SVU after doing a check up on her and found out she was six weeks pregnant. What makes the situation worse; she been in a vegetative state since her car accident a year prior. They begin the investigation by looking into all who cared for her. They talk to one of the caretakers at the hospital that says that her ex-fiancee was seen earlier that week in the victims room sleeping in her bed with her. Detectives check out the story with the fiancee and find out he had been seeing her once a month secretly, due to the restraining order the victims parents had put on him.
A little while later, the parent's of the victim find that their daughter has been transferred back to the same rehab center she was raped at. When detectives walk in they find the victims mother at the information desk where she is attempting to find out where her daughter has been placed. Moments later they find she has been sent into surgery. It is later found out that the doctor that detectives earlier questioned ordered the victims pregnancy to be terminated without the consent of the parents. He claims it was a "medical emergency" and he had the consent of the victim father.
The doctor's story checks out however when looking further in the investigation they find that this isn't the first time the doctor has been in this situation. Detectives find out that patients in similar situations were being artificially inseminated and used for stem cell research. The doctor is put on trial and is let go free of all but one charge due to the heart wrenching tale told by the man the stem cells were made for. At the end of the episode we find the man with Parkinson's is filing for custody of the baby for the umbilical cord, full of the cells he needs.

SVU

Today I watched an episode of SVU about these teenagers who found a body floating in the river. The victim was a 14 year old girl who had already been dead for two weeks but had a similar tattoo as others that have died. They went and question a guy who was known for tattooing minors and he admitted to tattooing them but denied having anything to do with the killings. They went and see one of th girls who had been killed biological mother because the girl was in foster care. The mother really didn't care she was a crack addict and just wanted to know if she could sue anyone for the death of her daughter. They went to the group home where the girl Chantel lived. They talked to the girls their and said that Chantel left with Victor who was a pimp. They end up rounding up all the teenage prostitutes and the detective noticed one had the same tattoo as Chantel so they brought her in. She said she loved Victor and wanted to marry him and then mentioned their was a guy named Blake who would sometimes take girls to live with him and he too Chantel. They found Blake and brought him in for questioning he admitted to picking the girls up and that was it he didn't kill them. They thought it was Victor so they had the case brought to trial he was found guilty, He then broke out of jail so the detective had to shoot him and he died. It is said how we have young girls being used for prostitution, it is really upsetting. Women shouldn't be selling themselvels never mind barely teenage girls doing it.

Law and Order: SVU

I just watched an episode of Law and Order:SVU about a series of murders of rapists. After finding many suspects, it turns out that the murderer was a woman who worked at a clinic for HIV positive people who knew the rapists that were killed because they had HIV and she treated them. Her reasoning was that she didn't want them to infect anymore people with their deadly disease; it became even more emotional when the woman admitted that she was infected with AIDS and was dying because an HIV positive man raped her nine years before. I think this episode was commenting on the state of America's rapists and pedophiles because many citizens feel vulnerable and do not like the fact that rapists and pedophiles are given the same rights as every other American even after they have committed a horrible crime. In the episode, the men were stalked, harassed, and a Neighborhood Watch program posted pictures of them everywhere. The episode also was commenting on the spread of HIV and AIDS. I think the episode was trying to say that there are still people out there who are not careful to protect other people from their disease.
