Law and Order has been steadily going into the toilet. It's time to
flush it.
Arecent episode of crime drama "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" went
viral after a White rape victim resisted testifying against her attacker because she's concerned he wouldn't get a fair trial due to his race.
In the January 25 episode "Truth Embargo," the character Natalie, played
by actress Romina D'Ugo, is raped in a dressing room during a smash and
grab robbery of a clothing store. At the hospital, Natalie denies seeing
her rapist's face, despite video camera footage showing the man removing
his mask before entering the dressing room.
Eventually, she "reluctantly" identifies her attacker, a Black man named
Jay Watson, played by actor Mykey Cooper. Natalie's lesbian partner
Brooke, played by actress Keeley Miller, explains to the detectives that Natalie is angry at the criminal justice system, according to a blog
post by media watchdog NewsBusters.
"She's inconsolable," Brooke tells Captain Olivia Benson, played by
actress Mariska Hargitay. "We're acutely aware of the systemic
inequities that exist within the criminal justice system."
She explains she is concerned Watson won't "receive a fair trial."
Captain Benson tells Brooke, "Well, I can't deny that there's a history
of racial bias. It's certainly not a perfect system."
Natalie continues to struggle with her frustration with the sytem during
the court trial. While on the stand, she refuses to identify Watson as
her attacker.
Outside the courtroom, she tells the prosecutor and detective that when
she was younger, her adopted brother from Cameroon received a night in
juvenile detention after they both stole a pack of gum while she only
received a warning.
