Fun Stuff

Trivia:

Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Dialogue in this episode is contradicted by the episode "Rage" later in the season. Polikoff's attorney says Detective Stabler has twelve years of police service to his credit, but in "Rage," Stabler seeks to put away a criminal he first collared fourteen years prior. more

You're mistaken, there only could be two possible outcomes. Guilty or Not Guilty. There is no way there could have been a mistrial.

At the end of the show, the judge asks if the jury has come to a decision. The foreman says yes and then says, "We find the defendant..."

...and then it ends. If there was a possibility of a mistrial, they would have written the ending differently.

As far as the online poll goes, I think it was completely accurate, but then again, that's for the viewer to decide.

Overall I think it was a great episode.

I'm sure there were many fans angry with the outcome.

I can honestly say that it was one of my first episodes, and I thought that if they all were like that, I wouldn't continue watching the show.

But twists like that is what keeps the show fresh and sets it apart from others.

You see this in movies more and more often. The movie isn't about finding a solution, but leaving the moral and ethical decisions up to the audience.
