This is why witnesses need legal counsel, although it appears there's no amount of coaching in the world that would prevent the kid from blurting out his heroin use and thus incriminating himself.
@@rhuephus they know it's scripted that's why they said the acting was good, but you can still tell based on their acting what the character was supposed to have prepared for or not in the show's universe
Every actor has been on this show more than once. That witness later plays Gregory Yates a serial killer we first learn about on Chicago Fire who then kills Nadia from Chicago PD after attempting to frame Will from Chicago Med who is finally caught on Law & Order SVU later escaping and finally dying on Chicago PD. This Universe has expanded so much over the years.
The actor was only in his early 60s when this episode was made. If his character was about the same age and got out in 10 years (after parole in 8 plus 2 for larcency), he still probably had a decade or more left to life a mostly free man, versus a minimum 25 year sentence, which would have been a virtual life sentence.
I've knew a guy who started out smoking weed and the next thing I knew he was using magic mushrooms. Apparently the weed just wasn't doing it for him even with larger quantities. I can only hope for his sake that he never moves down to heroin.
I’ve had family members and a couple of friends that started doing weed then tried other stronger stuff . A few stared on prescription drugs before they went to weed. Not everyone who try’s weed or does weed will go to stronger more dangerous drugs . But you can’t think automatically because they do weed they won’t or not doing stronger more dangerous drugs because I know for a fact that’s not true.
I hope others recognize the judge as U.S. Rep. Jose Serrano. The longest serving Puerto Rican-American in Congress. I believe he was a congressman by this time, but I'm not certain.
The best McCoy-ism was in the episode involving the college girl running an on-campus prostitution ring from which one of the girls ended up dead. Father helped her skip the jurisdiction when arrest was imminent: "I can't believe she had to take an emergency flight to Switzerland in the dead of night because the ski runs were melting."
To be fair if he was called, didn't lie about seeing her and then actually tried to get her to a hospital and she died on the way or when they go there, he would of been fine.
Something I like is how the attorney's keep things cordial despite being on opposite sides. Though they can be intense when proving cases if one side is clearly going to win they admit defeat.
Yeah because next time you see them you might be the one on the wrong side of the facts. There is nothing personal in this for the lawyers. They aren't the ones who did the stupid thing that has lead their clients to be in court. Lawyers need to get on with each other or they'll go mad. If anything tv shows tend to be unrealistic in that they show lawyers taking things personally, which is a really bad thing for their clients (and their duty to the court). The show Suits is terrible in this regard because the lawyers all seem to take their clients problems personally

He can probably name the closest hospital to his area -- but the closest hospital to whatever out-of-the-way back alley he dumped the victim in is more of a stretch.
Do we REALLY think juries judge AND ignore such technicalities!? Also…Marijuana to heroin is a HUGE leap of conjecture. Didn’t anyone tell the defendant that…? 🤷♀️
No sane defence lawyer would put his client on the stand when there has been evidence of guilt suppressed before the trial. By asserting anything on the stand, he busts open the door for the prosecution to use ANYTHING to rebut his claims... Besides, the case was clearly going for either an acquittal or a hung jury. There was no chance 12 jurors would vote to convict.
Unfortunately even Perry Mason would be hard-pressed to override the arrogance of a client determined to tell his story his way when he's sure he can beat anything. I'm sure counsel advised very strongly not to testify, and his client ignored the advice.
You definitely see the difference in public perception of drugs over time. All “drugs” were the same back then and there was no difference between weed and heroin.

Katie's mother has a point. Often the best way to make sure an addict ceases abuse is to cut them off from loved ones. As tough as it sounds, it'll help.
@FRANCO PEREZ I was close to a friend in high school. Her mother was a cocaine addict. Her father had to kick her out of the house for 6 years. She's still going through rehab from what I was told.
Well, cutting ties with your love ones usually means you also cut the money supply, or at least it makes more diffiult to the addict to get money more easy
In real life, his lawyer probably would've done his best to keep him off of the stand. If he failed there, he wouldn't have asked him a question where his choices were to either lie or incriminate himself.
Except for the fact that junkies were brought into this world the same as we were. And rather than learning to cope with trauma and neglect in a healthy fashion, they turned to drugs. At the end of the day, drug addicts are people all the same, they have a fucking disease called “addictive personality disorder” and have been tossed aside by the world. Luckily some people recover, some don’t get the chance, I only hope the number of people who get the chance to get help get better with time
“They found marijuana in my room” “So you’re an addict” “I’m not an addict, I only smoked heroin once or twice on the weekend.” OBJECTION!!! My witness doesn’t know how not to volunteer unnecessary and incriminating information!

And ‘Hill Street Blues’ fans will recognise Jon Cypher here. He had some of the funniest lines in that show as pompous police chief , and later mayor, Chief Fletcher Daniels. I’ll always remember his ‘weak rectal tissue, Frank! It’s a curse!’
I am consistently shocked how this show portrays defense attorneys. No one in their right mind will talk like that with a witness. God, can’t they ask real defense attorney for “technical supervision” as its called?
I'm really starting to doubt you guys after watching real criminal cases. I've seen actual defense attorney act way worse than this without being repreimanded
I was in my teens and early twenties, watching Law and Order between 1997 and 2007, or so. I remember these episodes, they were the best. I agreed with everything in the opinions portrayed in the series. Those were the good old days, gone forever, replaced by the post 2020 world of misguided idealism and the Tyranny of the Offended (otherwise known as cancelculture and related movements).
“Cancel culture” where no one has been damaged by it. But you were around when the right tried to ban Stern, Opie and Anthony, video games, and music? Even in these shows where they say weed is the same as heroin you agree even the facts show otherwise? And today the guy running as the Republican candidate said he’d be a dictator day one, bragged about intervening in the DOJ, tried to say that the election was rigged when it was found he had called officials to threaten votes, and fiddled with electors, tried to stop the constitutional process of transferring power, and then said we should suspend THE CONSTITUTION to “put him in the seat of power”. But you’re so sensitive you just care that there are people that voice opinions different than yours. What a weakling! No wonder the country is a mess with people like you as “role models”. Or maybe we can go back to “the good old days” when you weren’t allowed to voice an opinion woman.
"he bought her drugs and stole from her" "He bought her food and gave her a home, or would you rather he be as cold as you?" But like....? Doesn't change the fact that he bought her drugs???
I like how this show has gotten up attorney’s asses about using questions to “testify” or “speculate”, and this guy can do both at once, AND prevent the witness from replying, further proving that’s what they were doing.
The guy on the witness stand at the beginning looks like a young Jeff Bridges, mixed with Val Kilmer. All I know is I recognize him but I can't place him
@@tomduffy3965 is that the guy on the witness stand? Also I don't know why but I didn't see a notification of your comment. I just received a notification of a "like" just now.
He's the brother in good wife and butchered the continuity of the Law and Order Universe by playing a bunch of characters in various spin-offs throughout the years.
@@tomduffy3965it’s not John Ritter the actor is Dallas Roberts he later played the sadistic serial killer Dr Yates on crossover of Chicago PD and SVU during first season of Chicago PD.
So did anyone else find it unbelievable, that this guy was stonewalling so hard then he just blurted out everything and his lawyer just stood there and let him?
The person above me is exactly correct. If you are telling the truth and were ACTUALLY on a jury, then you didn't do your duty. If them just standing in front of you pisses you off, maybe you should have excused yourself eh? Hopefully you are just full of it.
One thing I didn't like as much about the earlier eps of the original law and order was that they were a little too unrealistic. The lawyer basically knows he can win on appeal yet is ready to let his client serve the max. They made Jack look like he could convince anyone of just about anything. God bless everyone.
Actually in the real world it would be difficult to win on appeal, the defense attorney's claim notwithstanding. McCoy is correct that he can impeach the credibility of the defendant on the stand since the defendant opened the door by making false assertions. Legally the jury should only evaluate the supressed evidence to find that he the defendant is liar not to show he actually committed the crime, but juries in the real world rarely make that distinction.
@@semicron5159 5:51 He points out it would never survive an appeal. If he is sure of that then letting his client do the max just seems weird. God bless you.
@@FeedingFrenzy91 Lawyers always confidentialy say they will win when negotiating pleas to get a better deal. When McCoy said he was not afraid of an appeal, the lawyer knew he was done.
@@semicron5159 Still seems a bit unrealistic. Like the earlier eps of law and order did things that wouldn't even be legally allowed like surprising the defense with a piece of evidence when the prosecution is required to let the defense know. Like, compare the earlier ones to the later ones and the later ones at least tried to be more realistic.

I am consistently shocked how this show portrays defense attorneys. No one in their right mind will talk like that with a witness. God, can’t they ask real defense attorney for “technical supervision” as its called?
Drama show, not reality show.
I'm really starting to doubt you guys after watching real criminal cases. I've seen actual defense attorney act way worse than this without being repreimanded
1:02 I expected him to yell "Look what you did, you little jerk!"
"Ken Blanchard entrusted me with his children." I guess he entrusted his children to the wrong person!!!
The first witness went on to live in Woodberry during the zombie apocalypse and sucking up to the Governor until said governor killed him.
I was in my teens and early twenties, watching Law and Order between 1997 and 2007, or so. I remember these episodes, they were the best. I agreed with everything in the opinions portrayed in the series. Those were the good old days, gone forever, replaced by the post 2020 world of misguided idealism and the Tyranny of the Offended (otherwise known as cancelculture and related movements).
“Cancel culture” where no one has been damaged by it. But you were around when the right tried to ban Stern, Opie and Anthony, video games, and music? Even in these shows where they say weed is the same as heroin you agree even the facts show otherwise?
And today the guy running as the Republican candidate said he’d be a dictator day one, bragged about intervening in the DOJ, tried to say that the election was rigged when it was found he had called officials to threaten votes, and fiddled with electors, tried to stop the constitutional process of transferring power, and then said we should suspend THE CONSTITUTION to “put him in the seat of power”.
But you’re so sensitive you just care that there are people that voice opinions different than yours. What a weakling!
No wonder the country is a mess with people like you as “role models”.
Or maybe we can go back to “the good old days” when you weren’t allowed to voice an opinion woman.
I couldn't agree with you more 💯😊
"he bought her drugs and stole from her"
"He bought her food and gave her a home, or would you rather he be as cold as you?"
But like....? Doesn't change the fact that he bought her drugs???
"I thought you'd feel that way Gary, We'll do you last!"
My answering machine was flashing... So 90s.
Great acting!
I like how this show has gotten up attorney’s asses about using questions to “testify” or “speculate”, and this guy can do both at once, AND prevent the witness from replying, further proving that’s what they were doing.
The first witness (the young guy) also played serial killer Gregory Yates a few seasons ago on Law & Order SVU!
This judge let’s anything happen in his court room holy shit lol imagine this irl 🤦🏻♀️
Nothing compared to the circus Lance Ito allowed his courtroom to become during the OJ trial.
Eh, nothing the judge did indicated a lack of control. A good judge does not interfere.
@@LordZontar Yeah, a homicide trial shouldn't last eight months.
I take it you never talked 1 on 1 with a judge, and it shows.
@@Saintbow Are you referring to me?
So on this show he is a witness but on law and order SVU, the young man on the stand is a creepy serial killer that escaped twice! I love his growth!!
8:09 "look what you did, you little jerk" Uncle Frank strikes again.
7:55 “I can’t recall....I didn’t do anything wrong” off why this just be laughing
The guy on the witness stand at the beginning looks like a young Jeff Bridges, mixed with Val Kilmer.
All I know is I recognize him but I can't place him
John Ritter.
@@tomduffy3965 is that the guy on the witness stand?
Also I don't know why but I didn't see a notification of your comment. I just received a notification of a "like" just now.
His name is Dallas Roberts. He's in everything lol
He's the brother in good wife and butchered the continuity of the Law and Order Universe by playing a bunch of characters in various spin-offs throughout the years.
@@tomduffy3965it’s not John Ritter the actor is Dallas Roberts he later played the sadistic serial killer Dr Yates on crossover of Chicago PD and SVU during first season of Chicago PD.
Even the attorney was ashamed of looking at the big monster coming out of him.
Oh snap, Uncle Frank!
That thumbnail looks like a constipated gremlin.
Of course the uncle from Home Alone is the defense attorney
So did anyone else find it unbelievable, that this guy was stonewalling so hard then he just blurted out everything and his lawyer just stood there and let him?
No one ever said this show was realistic. Besides, both men knew that guy was guilty and that McCoy couldn't use anything he said in court anyhow.
"Tell him: Valdez is coming."
I think the young guy on the stand played the role of a serial killer in later episodes 🤔
Yates
@@tami6951 In Chicago PD right? The one who killed Nadia
Yes this actor appeared in at least 3 episodes of law and order before he was on law and order svu
The guy on trial looks like the live action version of Florlo from The hunchback of Notre Dame
just commercials is all YT is good for now
I hate when the lawyer stands in front of the jury. When it was done to me, I got really pissed and didn't pay attention.
Then you weren't responsible enough to be on a jury, you should have asked to be excused for personality flaws or an inability to follow procedure
The person above me is exactly correct. If you are telling the truth and were ACTUALLY on a jury, then you didn't do your duty. If them just standing in front of you pisses you off, maybe you should have excused yourself eh? Hopefully you are just full of it.

No one smokes heroin "once or twice a month" no one.
One thing I didn't like as much about the earlier eps of the original law and order was that they were a little too unrealistic. The lawyer basically knows he can win on appeal yet is ready to let his client serve the max. They made Jack look like he could convince anyone of just about anything.
God bless everyone.
Actually in the real world it would be difficult to win on appeal, the defense attorney's claim notwithstanding. McCoy is correct that he can impeach the credibility of the defendant on the stand since the defendant opened the door by making false assertions. Legally the jury should only evaluate the supressed evidence to find that he the defendant is liar not to show he actually committed the crime, but juries in the real world rarely make that distinction.
@@semicron5159 5:51 He points out it would never survive an appeal. If he is sure of that then letting his client do the max just seems weird.
God bless you.
@@FeedingFrenzy91 Lawyers always confidentialy say they will win when negotiating pleas to get a better deal. When McCoy said he was not afraid of an appeal, the lawyer knew he was done.
@@semicron5159 Still seems a bit unrealistic. Like the earlier eps of law and order did things that wouldn't even be legally allowed like surprising the defense with a piece of evidence when the prosecution is required to let the defense know. Like, compare the earlier ones to the later ones and the later ones at least tried to be more realistic.
It's Milton from Walking Dead!
Wow that was great acting
Omg it’s Bob from insatiables
Ewww it's Cosso no wonder that face look familiar
Omg it’s a young Greg Yates 😂😂 and that hair
Double windsor ...... Jack is a classic gentleman
Ian Fleming reckoned that a Windsor knot was the mark of a cad along with handkercheifs in the top pocket, suede shoes, and regimental ties.
I do agree
No, your eyes are not deceiving you, that is a young Dallas Roberts who would later play Gregory Yates on SVU/Chicago PD.
Jack McCoy is a pure beast!!
I never realized that the DA's office is right in the court building.
The guy at the beginning that took the stand was Milton Mamet in The Walking Dead. He was the Governor's assistant.
woohoo its chief daniels from hill st blues ,,,,,, legend
3:22 "She doesnt have to answer that." So what still is argumentative.
She doesn't have to answer that. Talk about ruthless
Look Dr. Yates!
I'm pretty sure the guy with the weed is Milton From the walking dead. he was the Governers "Secretary" or doctor
