When Logan says "What's Russian for 'you're under arrest'?" I would have died laughing if the Polish guy had told him.
Vy arestovany
@@austinmajor3288 Thank you, I am aware of my rights ;)
Вы арестованы
He should know as Russian was taught in Poland Pre 1990 ...lol
I was waiting for him to say it. The grin on his face though, he was thinking it.
The way Stone leans on the word “County” is so slick. He has to be sure there’s no misunderstanding about the terms but you know it’s a setup and he’s outsmarted him.
Despite the lawyer for the witness being incompetent, I would still say that Stone was an ingrate. That's why people in reality are so reluctant to testify.
This kind of trick is seen once in a while throughout the series, like when Mcoy made a deal with the governor but Cutter had him arrested since he wasn’t the person the deal was made with.
But it definitely makes witnesses wary to testify, but that’s the tricky part of trials because people can’t get off scot free simply for testifying, they still committed a crime
@@azariah15 I would think that in real life the witness could contest this on the basis of ineffective counsel.
@@seanbreheny9777 Yes, but earlier in the clip Stone informed the witness that his lawyer was not giving him good advice and the witness expressed concerns his lawyer would "louse this up".
I cant believe the attorney didnt catch it, because he made the distinction Twice.
Everyone is focused on the "deal" Stone made, but miss a wonderful legal thing that happened in this case, when the defense raised a hearsay objection and Stone brings a hearsay exception for the testimony to be admitted. First season had some great courtroom elements that you just don't see in the later seasons or series.
I love Sam Waterston's version but Moriarty was brilliant in this role. Unfortunately, I read that he left because the story lines became too liberal for him.
Judith Randall Right. His alcoholism and deteriorating mental health had nothing to do with it.
It's also not particularly realistic. Statements made by a party (the defendant in this case) are always excepted from the hearsay rule, "covering flight from a crime" is immaterial. Stone would have just said "party statement your honor" and the judge would have known immediately it was overruled.
@@muonneutrino2909 no need to be rude. Not everyone keeps constantly up to date on ever celebrity's personal life.
@@Josh-il3rp it's also not hearsay as it's not offered for the truth of the matter asserted.
Stone was a beast here!!!!
He even gave the guy a hint he was setting him up by saying..” in NY County” lol
He even says it so casually the first time, but you can see his eyes light up when he realizes that the lawyer isn’t catching the obvious distinction.
"These gentlemen like their secrets kept, and Mr. Epstein here can vouch for their predilections."
lol
1:57
Nothing is a coincidence 👀
Hmmm...
Insert the theme music...
When he said New York County, It's only Manhattan!!! Brooklyn is Kings County!!!
Robinette’s hair is a star in its own right. 0:50 sculpted with laser precision.
edit: due to mandated closures, it’s going on 9 weeks since my last haircut... I’ve been noticing well-managed hair in videos and on TV.
🤣🤣
I've gone chrome dome for years.
Free at last, free at last...
Thank God Almighty I'm free at last.
Been months since my last haircut. Getting a bit long and not so easily managed.
@@TheBatugan77 So is Robinette saw him not to long ago he now wears the chrome dome look
I get an haircut once a year whether I need it or not.
And this, good peeps, is why you need to pay close attention. And also learn about all the counties in NYC. 🤣
Remember, Stone is a part of the DA's office for Manhattan (New York County). I don't think he could offer immunity on behalf of other DA's offices without asking them first. That should have been another red flag for the lawyer, even if he really thought that New York County = New York City.
@@seanbreheny9777
I'm from NYC.
I learned the names of the five counties in elementary school.
Of course, that was a while back.
Reminds me of a tv court drama where a child had been kidnapped. The lawyer for the kidnapper got the state to screw up the case, in return for childs return. However, after the child was returned, they arrested the kidnapper....
Double jeopardy? Nope, the kidnapping ws done on indian land, therefore, FEDERAL laws were broken....
@@dodgeman4360 per the US Supreme Court nearly all of Oklahoma is Indian Territory, therefore indians living there are only subject to federal laws.
Me being from Ohio I know nothing about this lol
The actors playing the judges always did a good job.
Weren't some of them judges in real life, as well?
bertmustin yes... they seemed realistic.
asnowballinhell I didn’t think of that... maybe that’s why they seemed so realistic to me. That would be cool if some of them were.
And the actors playing defense attorneys always did a terrible job... but I'm assuming they were directed to act like complete scumbags.
@@asnowballinhell Stop generating rumours. They were extras, actors, not judges.
A rare Law & Order clip where the Trade Center is visible.
Maybe, but ex-Soviet mafia is still alive and kicking.
Stone will forever be my favorite DA. He played the game better than any other DAs after him.
Though you do have to admit McCoy did a pretty good job too. Espcially with Fiona Reed/Reid (not sure of the spelling) after all...she hasn't been 16 in some time.
Most powerful part of the episode was when Petrovich was being led past the victims after being convicted, the victims’ sons glared at him, and Robinette said, “This will make up for arresting them.” Stone replied, “Wish it would make up for them being orphans.”
This episode always touched me. I had a friend in University who lost both his parents in a car crash. The opening scene of this episode with the two brothers... substitute me for the older brother and my friend for the younger one and... you get the picture. 27 years later and I still remember it.
@@erikdraven1731 Your are a truly amazing friend to be so supportive and caring enough to help them and be there for them through what would have been such a hard and devastating time for them. I know they will never forget that and I hope you are still friends today. Sadly not many young people would be so supportive towards others like you were in the same situation. Your friends are very lucky to have you in their lives 😃💕
The fact this season was filmed and aired while the Soviet Union was still around is kinda funny in retrospect.
Stone is such a thrill to watch occupy courtrooms, just brilliant. It took someone just as phenomenal (Jack McCoy) to fill his shoes.
This show was so great with the writing and acting back early. It is all still a good show, but I thought the writing was tighter back then. Loved Michael Moriarty as Ben Stone. Much more no nonsense, pragmatic, and less histrionics.
5:41
The judge dispensed FACTS!!!
he whooped his behind in a dignified manner.
Wow
Grew up watching Stone take these guys to the cleaners and back. I miss the old school L&O.
I'm from NYC.
I learned the names of the five counties in elementary school.
Of course, that was a while back.
New York, Kings, Queens, Richmond and Bronx.
That lawyer wasn't from the US, much less NYC.
@@RonJohn63
He was a good deal older than I was. Theoretically a little more educated too.
When you’re trying to get Immunity for a crime and the prosecutor mentions you’ll get it,but so specifically? Make you get it totally for your client
That's not the first rodeo with the Russian mob. I remember they had to evac the police station due to a bomb found on the boiler.
Nighthawke70, that wasn’t until the end of season 9, the episode “Refuge”.
That guy Ben interviews in Rikers is also in that season 9 story
There was a season 1 episode where everyone that snitched on the Russian mob got their throat cut
@@madunwagbo4769 he was also on an SVU episode called Russian love poem and on OZ as a Russian inmate. I think his name is Olek Krupa.
@@JudaMetalMaiden - I immediately recognized him as Yuri Kosygin from HBO's *Oz* . He was one of the scariest inmates in there...
And he also played at least 2 other characters on different Law & Order episodes...
He also recently played in "Iron Fist", where he played a chemist who produced "Steel Serpent Heroin" for Madame Gao; which is funny when you look at the title of this episode of Law & Order.
law and order was like buffy the vampire slayer: if you were in it once you were bound to be in it again. i remember the defendant in a really good L&O: CI ep about an architect up for murdering an up and coming plagiaristic rival. turned out it was a son he didn't know he had. the apparent art genius was in the genes.
Samantha Nickson uuuuuuh I know that episode! He was actually a bigamist and his third wife is the one that killed the son/rival. I have watched all three L&O shows but I gotta admit L&O:CI is my favorite.
You're right. I think that if the actor and producers were copacetic, there were opportunities for more bites at the apple. Even if they were short 'bit' parts with one or two lines. Of course that means that, as a viewer, it can be difficult to date an episode because you get the nagging feeling that you've seen some of those actors before....but, when?
Props for "plagiaristic". That was an interesting episode.
That was excellent# A Synopsis of the episode instead of being left hanging!
Adam still looks the same way throughout all seasons of L&O, tired and bored.
The moment he gets happy or excited are pure gems
Not to mention shrewd.
Have you ever hung around these guys who do this day in and out.. they are tired and bored. He plays it to a T.
I wouldn't say bored but jaded and cynical. It's a damn shame that Stephen Hill is dead because he was great as DA Adam Schiff.
@@nicholasmaude6906 Possibly my favorite character on the whole show. Brilliantly portrayed!
I though I heard that voice before the defendant lawyers, played Dr Freid at Tony Saprano's executive card game. Episode Matt Bevilaqua sweeping the cheese under Sils' feet!
4:15 The mom from Uncle Buck
Next time you make a deal...know your place!
Director during season 1 - Talk slower! Someday people will know an arraignment from a trial and all the lingo but that won't be until like season 6 when we have four different court shows going.
Tony Soprano's Doctor friend never had the makings of a varsity athlete.
Isn't that the guy that paulie and christopher took to pine barrens as well?
@@melenynder7136 Nah that guy was an interior decorator for the Russians who killed 16 Czheckloslovakians.
8:17 I love the random cop that comes out of nowhere to arrest the Russian mobster.
This Stone guy is pretty good
The witness's (The one held in protective custody) lawyer looks like Rodney Dangerfield's brother;):D.
In New York County. The other four counties and maybe Yonkers are all open. But New York County? Clear?
20 years later, Petrovic's lawyer would be cutting off Furio Giunta's underwear after Jackie Aprile shot up their card game.
I cannot imagine Stone and Adam as anything else. They truly embodied these characters. Wonder if they're both still alive, if not rip great gentlemen.
Watching this clip makes me miss Ben Stone.
2:54 Hey look! It's Mr Beaupre!
Wait, is that the RUSSIAN guy they tried to wack from SOPRANOS??? "Put controller in docking station."
He was an interior decorator.
Sasha.... means protector of humanity.
"Hey, what's this I got deal"
Stone made sure the lawyer understood correctly that he said 'COUNTY" two times. To be honest, I would never think twice. However I would expect this from a lawyer
“Rikers’ island” how fitting
He's the head bad guy in Home Alone 3!
There’s a Home Alone 3? Is it any good?
@@GhostDrummer It's definitely more of a kid movie than the first two but I'm very fond of it. The comedy is on point, and the talking parrot is great. Also has teen Scarlett Johansson. Pretty good cast. I would recommend it, but definitely don't watch any of the movies past the 3rd one. They're pretty bad.
The Russian here is better than most american shows that portray Russians. The accent is a bit thick. It's so good tho. 🙂
Do you speak Russian, if so what do they say after he threatens his lawyer that he'd break his teeth please ??
@@annied1827 Dialogue: Be quite. You be quite, I know what I'm doing. Leave me in peace.
@@agnessaantonenko thank you so very much I truly appreciate you telling me. I always wonder why they don't use subtitles in cases like this its like they assume everyone knows every language in the world 🤔🙄 although the youtube subtitles are funny as they say some taste amongst my saliva ill stop you for going 😕, something told me that wasn't right 🤣🤣
Funny, because Osiński is played by a Polish actor and Petrovich by American :P
He’s gonna spend a few years behind bars, but “ineffectiveness of council” would definitely be at play here
That only applies during a trial when you're the defendant. He willingly testified, truthfully, in court. Which he is obligated to do.
Stone asked a lot of leading questions, that would never be allowed in a murder trial
That's Buck Russell's sister in law on the stand
Good writing except for the part of the defense lawyer saying there is a difference between theory and proof. A theory is comprised of proven hypotheses and explains something in the natural world. I think the defense lawyer was meant to be written to say there is a difference between proof and a hypothesis.
...aka theory.
Great Writing, but I would wager that there is no way any decent lawyer would be tricked by this.
8:36 "Next time get yourself a better lawyer."
It’s the mom from Uncle Buck!
It's interesting how, without wanting it this video illustrates why innocent people go to jail. The judge the prosecutors and friends the police are best friends and have each other backs. The prosecutor sends a witness to jail to force him to confess under false pretenses, he knows that the witness will not be safe and tell him "if you survive prison I am sending you to Russia to have you kill". The judge doesn't even flinch, he does not care what the prosecutor did or not, he is interested in helping the prosecutor out, so not only he does not listen to the defense lawyer he does the argumentation for the prosecutor and forces him into a deal.
"Did he tell you to lie to the police"
"objection, hearsay!"
....that's not hearsay
That actor has played the heavy so many times he should have known something was off about the deal
One of the lawyers looks and sounds like the vault salesman from fallout.
So he goes from invading homes looking for a chip inside a toy car to character witness. What a guy.
So he goes from invading homes looking for a chip inside a toy car to character witness. What a guy.
I thought the woman on the witness stand looked familiar. She played the mom in Uncle Buck.
Don't suppose anyone can translate the back and forth between Sasha and his lawyer after he threatens to break his lawyer's teeth?
Try www.reddit.com/r/russian/; somebody there might translate.
Edit: (I didn't get very far with this.)
*Lawyer:* Shut up.
*Sasha:* You shut up. I know what I want. Leave me alone.
No idea what is really been said but the subtitles are funny as they say some taste amongst my saliva ill stop you for going, something tells me that's not right 🤣🤣
I found out for you, it was annoying me too i alway wonder why they dont put subtitles up in cases like this 🤔 anyway someone answered when I asked them and according to them they say
Be quiet
You be quite
I know what I'm doing leave me in peace 😃
@@annied1827 When they leave out subtitles, it's intentional. The words aren't important. They just want you to experience the emotional tone, perhaps even from the DA's perspective of ignorance of the language.
Stone- 10 years in Attica will make the kgb look good.
Uhh NO...
"You louse this up I'm going to break your teeth!"
(Lawyer thinks to himself.. "How much am I being paid for this again?!?!")
Big fat NO. This was one time I wanted to Gibbs - smack Stone on grounds of stupid for making that statement.
The KGB will send you to a Siberian gulag.
Attica is Club Med, by comparison.
3:42 “it’s just a theory”
A FILM THEORY!!!!! I couldn’t help myself, it was too good of an opportunity to ignore, I literally couldn’t stop myself!!!!
Home Alone 3.5
Hey, just noticed the defense attorney at about 0:29 is the guy who played Dr Ira Freid on The Sopranos. I suddenly recognized the voice, and then the face.
Isn't that the interior decorator from Pines Barren at 2:48?
@@CubanCubeFan You know, I see what you mean - sure could be from the looks of him - but I looked it up and apparently not. I learned, however, he played the Russian ambassador/agent Frances McDormand goes to see in Burn After Reading (2008), among other things!
Yes, its Lewis Stadlen. He is a wonderful character actor who often shines in comedic roles. He has worked on stage with his friend Nathan Lane in a variety of plays.
@@floppabingussled I am indebted to you.
i which peacock had all of the season of L&O
There is a difference in New York City and New York County, legally speaking. Gotta do yo homework
NY County, Kings (Bklyn), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island) & Bronx.
I couldnt stop looking at the judge, which eye was looking where?
The Russian Mafia had the US justice system quite worried in the 1990s. I wonder why we don't hear about it anymore.
Competition, drugs, different gangs, different generations, lots of stuff
Hahahahahahaha! *slaps knee*
Well we were substituted with ISIS, which is another form of drug-related terrorism for a bit.
because the place is always booked, mr.witness?
He spent time in Oz as well.
They actually did threaten him soo....I dunno, I like this show but it scares me if our justice system operates even remotely like this.
Remember the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial? Any more questions?
No threat. He told him that a convicted criminal would face deportation. He relayed facts and nothing more.
Lol here's what would really happen: the guy he tricked would claim he lied under oath, which would derail the case against him and then make the other guys appeal a slam dunk
The whole system of "doing deals" is corrupt
Like so many things, it started off with good intentions. Then greed, laziness, and simple indifference set in and now it is what it is, and there's no realistic way to change it.
Deals are actually one of the few ways they can get actual convictions and or get testimony and evidence that can get a conviction.
@@mckenzie.latham91 Not one of the few, just the easiest and fastest.
@@mckenzie.latham91 It's a form of coercion leading to false confessions. If there is not enough evidence, then that should be the end of the matter.
Ariel Fetters, If you know of a better way to convict major organized crime kingpins, then I would love to hear it.
great move there, pitting the guy against his own lawyer.
He said very emphatically. NY county
Problem is the guy will get off on a technicality for the deal made. Obviously the lawyer is incompetent enough to not realize the obvious trick played but this relates to a big case in the media right now..........pudding pops for everyone.
The Russian interior decorator, from the Pine Barrens episode of "The Sporanos".
citizen, mr.ben stone?
1:55 "Immigrant Russian gangsters; I thought they open dry cleaners". Airdate 19 March 1991. Yes, before the fall of the USSR and I guess they didn't know Russians were mobsters back then?
Atika Atika Atika!
Is that Russian defendant, Steven J. Cannell , The famous producer ?
Never trust an orc!
Wow, Olek Krupa did great with his russian, niiiice :D
Excellent!!!
Dear Sara
What's up with that dudes eye ?
what is judge's chamber?
Benjamin Stone in a bad man. I still can't choose between him and Jack McCoy.
Jack. He's more of a go-getter.
I like them both!
Wait, so he knew it was "some Russian guy" but then knew exactly what shop he ran?
He was an interior decorator
Who's the actor who plays the lawyer who gets duped by Stone?
Might be the dumbest lawyer in the entirety of law and order
2:45 Is it just me or did that accent sound really weird?
Hey it's Aleksander Krupa from Home Alone 3
From 1:50 to 2:20, how is this not an ex parte discussion?
Is this for real they hang guns with magazines
Go behind closed doors
What Russian for your guilty 😂😅
objection, relevant???
Какие ваши доказательства?
Can you do me a favor? Check the accent from 2:45 ... tell me, did it sound weird to you?
so thats what he did after home alone 4
#NotJackMcCoy
Isn't this an end run around the fifth amendment?
No. The fifth amendment means they can't add charges for refusing to incriminate himself. It doesn't mean they can't trick him into incriminating himself and then punish him for the actual criminal act. E.g. If they charge you with a crime and you refuse to talk about what you (allegedly) did, they can't add charges of obstruction/interfering with investigation on top of the original charge because the fifth amendment protects you against self incrimination; you have the right to remain silent and aren't legally obligated to aid their investigation beyond what's legally required. But if you go ahead and talk about it anyway, even if you are tricked into doing so, that's legit evidence that can be used against you. That's why Miranda rights readings include, "You have the right to remain silent; anything you *do* say can be used against you in court."
@@omargoodman2999 bill Cosby literally just got out of prison for this......
@@moneytalks1219 The difference is how the respective prosecutors handled it. In Stone's case, he specified New York County which made the deal limited in scope and left it up to the defense attorney to draw his own incorrect conclusions. But the ball was in the defense's court so it was their ball to drop.
In the Cosby case, one Prosecutor issued a blanket statement that they would not prosecute Cosby, after which Cosby gave deposition in Civil Court believing himself insulated from criminal prosecution. But then a more recent DA decided to retroactively retract the previous statement and go ahead and prosecute anyway, using the civil deposition as evidence. And that was determined to be a foul play because the original claim of no prosecution wasn't as specific as Mr. Stone's; it was blanket and then reneged upon. That's what makes the fictional case airtight and the real one as solid and dependable as a Pinto in a demolition derby.
@@omargoodman2999 "...anything you say WILL be used against you."
