    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      McCoy refers to Lanie Stieglitz as "the Betty Friedan militia". Betty Friedan was a leading American feminist and writer whose 1963 book, "The Feminine Mystique", is considered by many to have directly inspired and led to the 1960's feminist movement.
    • Goofs
      Upon getting out of their car to arrest the car-jackers the uniformed officers draw their weapons and the sound effect of a hammer being cocked is heard. Yet both of the officers are carrying a Glock, a semi-automatic striker fired pistol that does not have an external hammer. A Glock is cocked simply by loading a round into the chamber and closing the slide, the only way to uncock it is by pulling the trigger.
    • Quotes
      • Jack McCoy: [during his closing summation] Miss Stieglitz is right. This isn't a referendum on prostitution. It isn't a referendum on rape. You're here to render a verdict on her client's credibility. She says she was raped. What's her evidence? "Keene was a bully. My husband believes me. So should you." In the meantime, she suffered no injuries, she destroyed evidence, she lied to the police. It was only when she was backed into a corner that she cried rape, that she wrapped herself in the right of self-defense, but she wasn't defending her virtue. She didn't shoot Gilbert Keene to keep from performing an act that she had willingly performed on dozens of other men. She killed him to protect a secret. You've all seen what lengths she went to, to avoid Mac Bernum, to hide her identity. Who can blame her? She didn't want to lose her husband, her family, her comfortable home. Those things, she would kill for, but those things do not justify the taking of a life! The threat of deadly physical force does or rape does or kidnapping, or robbery. But none of those things happened in that car. What happened in that car was a cold and calculated thing. A woman killed her blackmailer, not her rapist. That's who Gilbert Keene was. That's how he got sex. He didn't rape those other women. He blackmailed them. I don't want you to convict her because she's a prostitute. I'm asking you to convict her because her story is a lie.
