Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNormally a murder committed during the commission of rape in the first degree would elevate the homicide charge to murder in the first degree. However, minors under a certain age cannot be charged with a capital crime, which is why the charge of murder in the second degree is applied.
- GoofsWhen the detectives enter the victim's grow room to discover her "marijuana crop", the plants are NOT cannabis plants at all.
- Quotes
Alexandra Cabot: Zachary, when did you throw up?
Zachary Connor: That was Jeremy.
Alexandra Cabot: I thought you were afraid, Zachary. I thought you threw up because you couldn't look at the blood.
Zachary Connor: I could, too. Jeremy couldn't. He was being a baby and crying.
Alexandra Cabot: When? Before or after she was killed?
Zachary Connor: The whole time.
Alexandra Cabot: And you weren't crying? Not even just a little?
Zachary Connor: No.
Alexandra Cabot: But I thought you were afraid, Zachary. I thought you were afraid of Jeremy.
Zachary Connor: No, I wasn't.
Alexandra Cabot: And you were also afraid of that woman because she was going to call the police.
Zachary Connor: She was afraid of me.
Alexandra Cabot: And you wanted to show them both that you were a man and that's why you had sex with her.
Zachary Connor: Well, that was her fault because she wouldn't tell me where the money was. Jeremy was crying! He wouldn't do anything, so I had to do it! If she had just told me where the money was, I wouldn't have had to hurt her!
Society and the criminal justice system establishes arbitrary ages where you deal with criminals and victims as adults and juveniles. You have to draw the lines drawn somewhere. But there are always exceptions.
12 year old Connor Paolo is ahead of his normal development. He's the leader and a budding sociopath. It takes the SVU squad sometime before they realize he's the leader.
And he's leading poor 14 year old Lyons into this horrible system. You look at him and how backward he is and you want to scream at the television just look at this kid.
Yet it's Paolo who is ticketed to juvenile court and Lyons tried as an adult. Stephanie March wants to plead him out, but her boss the Bureau Chief Judith Light is inexplicably hardnosed on the issue. It's the weakness of the episode, why is she not seeing what everyone else is?
Some real bad choices by Lyons's mother and the mandatory sentence laws put this kid in a frightening jackpot. This is a haunting episode from SVU.
