Show Synopsis: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories. From Emmy-winning creator Dick Wolf, with its groundbreaking "ripped-from-the-headlines" format, comes the highly-acclaimed, longest-running crime series in television history.

My wife's oldest sister was killed by a drunk driver. The penalties for drunk driving will never match the injustice done to the victims or their families.

@zombie100395 3 years ago

That last line by the judge really emphasizes how much that case didnt change anything, just more pain for the community.

@dharmagirl5889 3 years ago

Being drunk should NEVER be a defense, particularly when the person has already killed someone while driving drunk. Anyone who has done that TWICE is obviously a danger to society and should be locked up until they can no longer pose such a threat.

"Your car came back from Russia, Bernie, with Love!" Lenny Briscoe was my absolute favorite...
RIP Jerry Orbach 1935-2004

My step daughter was killed right before Christmas in 2004 by a drunk driver that had multiple dwi’s. He got off because there were no witnesses. Seriously. He plowed into the car and was literally found not guilty. She would have been 21 in 2 weeks. She had been out Christmas shopping.
He should have rotted in prison.

The actor who played sleazo judge Gary Feldman was Cliff Gorman (1936-2002), and his performance was great. Starring as drunk businessman Bernard Dressler was Daniel McDonald (1960-2007). Two actors gone before their time, as was Jerry Orbach (1935-2004).

Throughout almost the entire video you can hear McCoy holding back the tears…

@starpawsy 3 years ago

Jack going the full McCoy always makes the episode.

@ratedwrong 2 years ago

McCoy not telling the defense that the Judge is bias against them is the most realistic thing to happen in any Law & Order episode.

My mom was pinned between a drunk driver and a shopping cart. I had to sleep at the neighbors for 3 days, couldn't go to the hospital, didn't know where my mom was, if she was going to be alright. I had to go to school and pretend everything was fine. My teachers noticed something was up and scheduled a meeting with the counselor. I remember I was inconsolable in the office and I was sent home still wailing. My dad did his best to soothe me but I couldn't function until we picked my mom up from the hospital.

@georgethomas4567 3 years ago

While the judge was definitely in the wrong for his actions. Drunk Drivers are a menace. My brother lost his wife and 10 month old child because of a drunk driver. The lady driving only got 10years and served only 8. While my brother lost his family. The worst part is she didn't learn her lesson because she did it again to another family.

"Your actions offend us. But no more than the inadequacy of the penalties of the statutes."

Statutes probably writteb by drunks

My mom was rammed from behind by a drunk driver on Xmas eve. Her life was changed immeasurably. Getting into a car and driving after you've been drinking is a crime and reprehensible.

@philiptom2799 2 years ago (edited)

The moment Jack realized that Claire's death was the driving force behind his case was the moment he knew she would never approve of this. The judge's "outrage" was tainted by what he was willing to do to get the conviction. If I recall correctly, his honor partially viewed this case as a stepping stone for his own crusade.

Selective memory, he doesn’t remember anything but he knows he didn’t speed up. How convenient

@laurelsilberman5705 2 years ago

I love episodes that highlight the fact that it’s literally impossible to be completely and fully impartial on every single circumstance that any public servant, be they a prosecutor or a judge, may encounter. It’s antithetical to having an identity. And the law isn’t about what’s right or wrong—it’s about who argues better, and about the system it enforces. The best line was the judge talking about how he is offended by the fact that the system’s sentencing for such crimes is so light.

@margaretschaufele6502 3 years ago

I know someone who was hit by car as a toddler. The driver wasn't drunk or speeding, they just didn't see a 22-month-old walking out into a busy street between 2 parked cars because he managed to escape from his stroller in the few seconds his mother wasn't looking. No one was at fault, but the toddler suffered permanent brain damage. Not to mention the trauma for the family. I grew up with this story and personally knowing the boy who was hit. Partly because of this i was too scared to get my own license until i was nearly 26. I do not understand people who are so thoughtless to make something that can be so dangerous so much worse by driving while intoxicated.

I know it’s a show, but I always get choked up when I see a kid die

@johnsrabe 1 year ago

As far as I’m concerned, if your license has been suspended for drunk, driving, and you drinking and drive, that is some level of intentional homicide - whether you remember it or not.

@zackq8865 2 years ago

Jack mccoy is the prime example of a lawyer not being afraid of judge but more of the reverse. Mccoy knows that there is a higher up at stake and no judge is king at any courtroom. I am pretty sure any judge would shiver and quiver at the first site of a jack mccoy entering their courtroom. This type of lawyer is so scary that he could even put a judge in prison so easily if he really wanted to.
