A gynecologist's jollies
11 January 2018
One of the slimier perpetrators that Law And Order ever dealt with his Paul Hecht playing a gynecologist who gets more than intimately acquainted with his female patients. One of them confided to police consultant Dr. Elizabeth Olivet who persuades her to make a report. When that doesn't get any action Carolyn McCormick goes into Hecht's office and is given a paralytic drug and is raped.

Still as someone who works for law enforcement she gets accused of entrapment. I kind of thought they were really being hypertechnical here. Hecht needs all the help he can get, good thing he has Danielle Melnyk working on his behalf. As Law And Order's number one feminist defense attorney her presence alone as Hecht's lawyer is a help.

Without telling the outcome you will see Michael Moriarty and Richard Brooks go an extra two miles to see justice done. And Carolyn McCormick has never been so vulnerable and so human.
