Oh yes I agree. Certainly Jack doesn't care who you are to him murder is murder. It doesn't matter. I know it's just TV but Sam's character is one of the best prosecuting attorney's I've ever seen.
I liked McCoy's closing arguments. And i had thought that they had almost gotten away with it. THey ran away, they blamed drugs he wasn't even using, they hired PIs to intimidate his classmates. He got what he deserved, that little shit.
Jack McCoy has to be my favorite ADA. It didn’t matter who you were, if you did it, you were toast. It would also be part of a good L&O drinking game to see if he gets threatened with contempt.
SVU has been on the air for eighteen seasons now and has just been renewed for a nineteenth season so I have to agree with you. It is the most successful Law and Order spinoff.
The original required the ada to use more of their legal skills because forensic evidence was limited. Also they had to be absolutely sure that they were convicting the right person.
I've interviewed or interrogated hundreds of various witnesses and suspects over the last 33 years (as a DoD investigator). Two people can tell you the absolute TRUTH about the same event and their stories may be quite different. ALL of us tell a story in our own words from our own point of view. The real "Truth", if there even is such a thing will always lie in the middle. Also, let us never forget that a Defense Attorney (in the USA) can NEVER defend a "guilty" person. It is impossible, because a person is Innocent UNTIL proven Guilty in a court of law. This loophole also helps defense attorneys sleep at night ;-)
I am so anxious for find the Original Law & Order full episodes. I just love Jerry Orbach. Can anyone show me where the full episodes are hiding because I can only find small clips.
+muhammad fenno (mfenno29) I'm assuming you are talking about the TV series "Friends". According to Wikipedia, Kathleen Turner played the dad of Chandler, not the mom. Morgan Fairchild played the mom of Chandler. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I remember this one episode it was really stupid how it ended I can't really all the details but it involved this mercenary group that murdered an entire group, I think, and th only reason they were found not guilty was because they were ex-war veterans and that was entire reason they got of. And even though law and order is fiction I was appauled then I said to my self, "If this how the justice works, then the justice system is truly broken being run by really stupid people."
Callum Lyall I think I know the episode you’re talking about. They weren’t acquitted per se, the jury was hung, if I recall correctly. An actual acquittal is rare. If the defendant isn’t convicted, it’s usually either due to them pleading out or a hung jury, which means they have to take their chances on another judge and jury.
Yes I remember the episode they were those types of people that spew crap about patriotism and being so-called 'real' Americans fighting the tyranny of the government which Jack had to dumb it down for those retarded jurors to explain the simple fact they murdered innocent people for money and they still couldn't decide if they were guilty
GatzMaximus Don’t forget the fact that their ”witness” list consisted of the President, his entire cabinet, and directors of the FBI, CIA and NSA. Or that they spent the whole trial randomly quoting lines from the Declaration of Independence as if it helped make their point. How the jury had trouble convicting them was beyond me.
I wish I knew the name of the episode you reference. I know there was an episode called Nullification where a bunch of white supremacists got a mistrial because they fucked with the jury's heads about the constitution. It's probably the same one. At the end Jack McCoy vowed that they'd never get away with it and he'd retry them as many times as he had to to get a conviction. Knowing McCoy he must've eventually sent them up the river.
Don't be so hard on Kathleen. Sure she had packed on some pounds, but is still very attractive for a woman in her 50's. And considering she had undergone treatment for alcoholism just a couple of years before this appearance on Law & Order, I would say she is looking very good indeed.
The adversarial system is flawed. A system of coming to the truth would be better. The truth ALWAYS lies in the middle. Seems to be stupid to try to swing it as harshly one way or the other. Just STUPID.
Sorry, I stumbled to this vid because I was looking for full episodes. "The truth Always lies in the middle." Are you claiming that this statement is true? If so, it seems pretty polarized to claim something is *always* in the middle. Always is not the middle of a spectrum, rather an end of one, i.e. always and never. If you claim the truth is *always* in the middle, then the truth about your statement means the truth is actually *sometimes* in the middle. It is a self-defeating argument...
Oh yes I agree. Certainly Jack doesn't care who you are to him murder is murder. It doesn't matter. I know it's just TV but Sam's character is one of the best prosecuting attorney's I've ever seen.
"There isn't an excuse.. for everything." Amazing in its simplicity and delivery.
I agree.
There is , but he does not have what it takes

Hey, EADA. You gotta out the full credential.
All of the spinoffs were good, but none was as good as the original
Agreed, though SVU (Hargitay/Meloni years) comes the closest.

Agreed, Mccoy went after everyone lol.
@Willie Gordon Oh yes! I loved those two working together.

Could you upload more Jack McCoy closing arguments?
How I miss McCoy.
Ana Beatriz Apocalypse the show was never the same.
Serial Mom cast reunion
That's Chandler's dad Helena Handbasket :D :D :D
Viva Las Gaygas
The Sutphin family reunion.

Christine Roy Benjamin Bratt was 🔥 fire. He drew me to the show. Then I got to know McCoy and Lenny..amazing. Can't even find on Netflix. 😞😕
I’m looking for more if the original episodes of my favorite show.
I find it funny that Sam Waterston and Kathleen Turner played husband and wife in Serial Mom.
One thing about McCoy he never shows emotion rather he wins or lose
I would love to see Alan Shaw vs Jack McCow
Where did they find this defence council? The Ministry Of Magic?
u should've kept the last scene between sam waterston and kathleen turner on the street
….. is that chandler's mom, no, dad? from friends?
😂😂 yup that's her
+muhammad fenno (mfenno29) Who, the defense attorney? That's actually Kathleen Turner. I'm not sure if she's Chandler's mom (whoever Chandler is), but she's Kathleen Turner.
chrisgast chandler bing from Friends
+muhammad fenno (mfenno29) I'm assuming you are talking about the TV series "Friends". According to Wikipedia, Kathleen Turner played the dad of Chandler, not the mom. Morgan Fairchild played the mom of Chandler. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes. She played Chandlers dad in friends.
He is child 1:00 !!! ... how misguided we are ... it’s a movie but the term Child must have been used many times before
omg its trent from bully
I seriously can’t take Sam Waterson seriously in any of his roles after watching “Grace and Frankie”, he’s such a goofball in that show.
A testament to his great acting range
I remember watching Sam in the 1970s version of great Gatsby. He played Nick! I adore his acting
What's Chandler's mom doing there?
Dad
@@yoramshacharr I stand corrected.

@@andrewclark7559 you must be referring to season 20's opening episode "Memo From The Dark Side."

A spoiled brat. Teach him a lesson.
Kathleen Turner is a wreck. Imagine now .
