    Based on the star review for every episode since season 13 episode 1, this has been deemed the worst. And honestly I am compelled to agree. The only good thing in this whole episode is Barba's court scenes and his amazing closing statement. In the real world, they would not stay on this case for so long when the victim wasn't cooperating. And I've noticed that the writers are frequently changing characters and avoiding plots as the episode seems fit. Example: 2 of the detectives are dating and they haven't said dick about it other than fin making a sarcastic comment, and them having eye contact and being close to each other. Oh excuse me, there was that one time when a psycho asked if they were having sex but there was never an answer. And that bar scene in this episode was totally out of character for Rollins. I get they are supposedly setting up for what happened to her in Atlanta (the whole some of US don't want to be victims) but that doesn't explain it now. The writers need to step up. And the plot of the episode was just subpar over all. Hoping next episode can help. I guess every season has the one episode that's really bad. At least we knocked it out early on. I hope anyway.

    This SVU episode concerns former pro football player and now broadcaster Chad Coleman who decked his wife Meagan Good in a parking lot stairway. The video was part of security footage from the parking lot and the folks who ran it realized its value to the prurient. SVU got involved because Ice-T saw it on the Internet.

    The problem is that Meagan Good absolutely refused to cooperate with the authorities. A smoking gun, but no corroboration. Nevertheless ADA Raul Esparza goes through with the prosecution. His summation to the jury is the highlight of the story.

    Seeing the credits role I had to look twice but the David Dinkins who played the arraignment judge is the former mayor of New York City. I guess that acting is something he does in his retirement years. Leslie Odom,Jr. makes an appearance as Reverend Curtis Scott a would be Al Sharpton. He defends Coleman as many defended OJ.

    Did the criminal justice system have the right to get into this domestic situation without a complaint from the victim? You'll have to answer that for yourself after seeing this story.
