- GoofsRollins states that the maximum sentence for Forcible Touching is four years in prison, which is incorrect. In the state of New York Forcible Touching is a class A misdemeanor, the maximum sentence is one year in jail. Even if someone is convicted of multiple counts, absent any felony charges, the judge would almost certainly order the defendant to serve the sentences concurrently, which would still be one year.
- Quotes
Judge Charles Gallagher: [to ADA Carisi] Something they can't teach you at Fordham? How to belong. The people on the 8th floor who nod at you on the elevator? They can smell the flop sweat and garlic coming off your cheap suit.
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Keep going judge
Judge Charles Gallagher: Yeah what do you want to hear you dumb Dago? You wanna go?
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Fine I'll take you on right here.
Olivia Benson: [Restraining Carisi] Okay that's enough, that's enough! Save it for court.
Dominick Carisi Jr.: Or we can go right now! Either way is fine for me.
Judge Charles Gallagher: [laughing] No need. You're so far over your head you don't even know your career is dead and buried.
As a white, hetro, male, I have always detested sexual and other abuses of females, and males. Ever since this series started, I missed the first 3 series because, my last partner 2001-03, of English decent, (I'm Irish), was drugged and sexually abused in Rio De Janerio, and couldn't bear to watch, which is understandable. Thankfully "it" was impotent, and wasn't able to rape her.
When we broke up, it took a few years to catch up (no catch up services were available at the time). Of all the American series I've watched over the years, SVU has been consistant. Criminal Minds bowed out in a whimper, which was disappointing, I've stopped watching NCIS because of the onstage debacle over a dog, and all the other REAL Law and Order series have run their course. Beyond Borders was beyond belief so, I gave it a miss.
The beauty of the current series is, the scripts are very current and up to date. What most viewers don't realise is, the "date" shown in the intro to each court part, is on the day, and done that week. Because of the pandemic, each episode is virtually being done in a week, not 3 to 6 months prior, because of restrictions.
Cudos to everyone involved.
