    The Joyce Gilchrist case is... disgusting. 23 people sentenced to death, 12 executed, on blatantly falsified evidence. She should have been sent to death row for killing innocent people. If she was like the L&O equivalent, she'd probably have argued 'I didn't put the needle in their arm'.

      I would've liked to have seen her sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, she died in Texas, 2015 at the age of 67 (Cause is not listed but probably cancer), she should've died in prison for what she did. You'd think after all of her fabricated testimony was exposed especially in light of it resulting 12 people being murdered by Oklahoma that the state would've suspended if not outlawed the DP.

    I had saw a episode of SVU, about a set of twins. Two boys were born and the doctor had mess up one of baby's little male area. So the parents had rise the little baby boy as a girl. The true story was in fact true and sick too. David Reimer, the parents were good people. It was the doctor later that was treating him that was sick. His story was truly heartbreaking and I hope he at peace. RIP Mr. Reimer 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏

      The "John Money" incident. Sadly, people still use that case to argue any doctor that treats transgender patients is as sick and twisted as Money. Not only did he mutilate that child and ruin the twins' and their parents' lives, but his legacy is still ruining the lives of people from beyond the grave.

"Indifference" had a sequel - L&O 15x11 "Fixed" after real life killer Joel Steinberg was paroled in 2004.

      SVU's 'Raw' could be based on the 1989 Stockton schoolyard shooting, where a racist man seemingly targeted children of Asian descent. While that shooting was never offically classed as racially motivated, it's difficult to believe it wasn't because the shooter was known to be racist against Asians and possessed racist literature. Revolutionary Aryan Warriors (RAW) could be based on Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance; the son having his own version of RAW's website could be based on Don and Derek Black.
      RAW's website also featured a game that could be based on 'Ethnic Cleansing' a game where players dressed as a Klansman or a Nazi to kill minorities. RaHoWa is also mentioned, which means 'Racial Holy War', a term popularised by the Creativty Movement (World Church of the Creator).
