This SVU episode concerns former pro football player and now broadcaster Chad Coleman who decked his wife Meagan Good in a parking lot stairway. The video was part of security footage from the parking lot and the folks who ran it realized its value to the prurient. SVU got involved because Ice-T saw it on the Internet.
The problem is that Meagan Good absolutely refused to cooperate with the authorities. A smoking gun, but no corroboration. Nevertheless ADA Raul Esparza goes through with the prosecution. His summation to the jury is the highlight of the story.
Seeing the credits role I had to look twice but the David Dinkins who played the arraignment judge is the former mayor of New York City. I guess that acting is something he does in his retirement years. Leslie Odom,Jr. makes an appearance as Reverend Curtis Scott a would be Al Sharpton. He defends Coleman as many defended OJ.
Did the criminal justice system have the right to get into this domestic situation without a complaint from the victim? You'll have to answer that for yourself after seeing this story.
