High-School Girls' Lethal Betrayal | Law & Order SVU

[@GhostKyng]

The fact they still blamed Agnes for the girls going to jail is baffling to me. Even the school staff barely did anything to help her when she went to them about the bullying. In the end, Goes to show that the beautiful and popular will always get the sympathy over being just a kind and decent human being in society it seems.

Do you think those people deserve the same harshness ? To be killed too ? Or do you think Agnes went too far ?

[@davidbailey6917]

@@JabamiLain Before reading these comments, I thought the episode would just end with the three blonde bullies in jail. But I didn't expect another murder to follow and have a dead and pig blood scene. I thought Agnes would finally get the peace and the happy ending she deserved and not have another bully come into play only to be killed by Agnes herself!

[@JabamiLain]

​@@davidbailey6917do you think Agnes was right to kill her too ? I want to say yes, but I want to let someone else convince me murder is still wrong.

[@alphagirl5212]

@@JabamiLain Here’s my input. I don’t think they deserve to die. Teenagers typically have a need to fit in. Sometimes they do anything to get that. Those three girls clearly had at least a majority of that school wrapped around their finger the same way cult leaders do if one of those students were willing to write that message. Does that excuse bullying Agnes? No. Does that excuse Agnes killing someone? No. That shouldn’t have been a last resort for her. But no was willing to help her because of those three’s influence. They all broke her. Hopefully those students will come to realize that those girls were monsters & Agnes was the true victim

[@trinaq]

This was such a heartbreaking episode, though you feel more sorry for Agnes, the girl who was bullied, than for Emily, the murder victim and her actual bully.

[@GreyDoofus88]

Emily was a self entitled brat who deserved what she got at the hands of her equally contemptuous 'friends'. I find it befittingly amusing that they eventually implode over something as trivial as stealing an ex boyfriend. Remorse should be considered ill spent on someone like Emily, along with the hope that her former compatriots would come to see the error of their ways.

[@antmagor]

Unlike those girls, I think Agnes actually has a viable defense. Diminished capacity. Simply put, you can’t constantly harass a person constantly backing them into a corner and expect them not to fight back. Eventually, they snap. Obviously not an excuse for murder, however, it is a mitigating factor as the defendant is not in reasonable control of their mental faculties. Also, the fact that the effort to harass, Agnes was clearly coordinated. That also serves as a mitigating factor. I can’t remember if law and order trial by jury was on at the time, but it would’ve made a great crossover episode to follow up on Agnes’s case.

[@JA268]

Indeed, as her brother pointed out, no one made any effort to stop! Take it from someone who was teased for being on "the spectrum" - me.

She was a bully just like the rest of them.😒😒 I do feel really sorry for Agnes though. Even after they went to jail, she was just bullied by some other popular bully b*tch until she finally snapped. As a victim of childhood bullying myself, I sympathize with her.😔😔 Now she's going to jail, probably for the rest of her life, her father lost his only daughter and her brother lost his little sister.😢😢 God, I so happy that I'm out of high school.

i hope that agnes gets a good lawyer who can argue self-defense/mitigating circumstances to get her a reduced sentence. if she takes a plea deal she could get as little as 2 years. i also don't feel sorry for emily. i've lived with girls like that, the 3 of them were friends coming into the freshman year and they made quick work of chasing me out of the dorm. fortunately the RA let me move to another dorm that had an open spot. not 3 months later one of them was knocking on my door in tears because once i left, the other two turned on her next. when people live their lives as predators, someone's always going to end up the prey.

Law & Order tackling bullying in school is a real treat sometimes.

[@annlouiserainey4888]

Stereotypical popular girls picking on a fat-shamed girl; one friend steals the ringleader’s boyfriend; she murders that girl, then lies about everything with proofless rumors and later in court, throws everyone under the bus to save her own pitiful, deplorable, selfish self. Only to be murdered by the girl they bullied in the first place. Knowing all that, the bullying could’ve been avoided if those rich parents had listened to the bullied student and the school’s complaints, but still, the discrimination could’ve kept going on, if Agnes hadn’t been driven my the ‘eye for an eye’ revenge. How’s that for irony?

[@annlouiserainey4888]

Actually, not only is bullying and cyber bullying are real issues, but a trait that the murderer had was that Brittney stole Emily’s high school ring; a form of having a trophy once the girl was murdered. I know the bullying wasn’t looked more into, but the murdered raised a few eyebrows. Some murder cases, even school shootings cases, being bullied is a motivator to commit a violent act because no one did anything to stop that bullying. It wasn’t that people were unstable, but the thought of people doing the bullying believed that they could get off Scott free and without consequences or think about their comeuppance later on in their lives. Every action has a reaction. In this case, it’s the consequences that that Brittney and Emily didn’t think about for their actions

As someone was bullied all the way through my school life because I have Autism, it hurts and does damage to your mental health badly like I am now with University (no bullies at university thank goodness.)

But my parents helped me through it and the bullying started to become less as I was getting into my final years of high school. Now as a medical science student I am taking a break from university because of my mental health and seeing a therapist to get my confidence back.

I know they don't mention this or touch upon it, but we all do know that Brittany would've been hit with charges concerning CP for taking those photos of Agnes and spreading them around (and this includes those who have received the images, they would've gotten possession charges smacked on them). That would've been the perfect way of getting back at her, systematically ruining her life with the possibility of being put on 'The Registry', cause she thought it would be funny to take photos of another kid while they're changing in the school locker room. Finally, I am a fan of bloody retribution (Agnes killing that last bully is cathartic), but it wasn't the best option for Agnes. The bullying should've stopped when the Discount Mean Girls were sent to prison (while Emily is a victim, she ain't no saint), but people (especially self-conscious teens and tweens) find it easier to join the crowd instead of being rebels of the social food chain. This episode, despite being fantastic in showing how toxic bullying is in the school systems and the inability of school admins and staff to stamp down on it; it's ending left a bad taste in my mouth for how quickly they ended it with Agnes' arrest, they could've done a small continuation of it later on.

Arielle Kebbel has the market cornered on those All-American (read: white) girl roles who may or may not be, in the words of Britney Spears, not so innocent. It also helps that shes a great actor, as we see here.

[@angelasilvi2619]

Those 3 girls got what they deserved! But I feel sorry for Agnes, even thought the 3 girls went to jail for killing their so called best friend, they still went after Agnes and the only way she could get back at them, was killing another girl that just kept on bullying her and the only she could take care of it was by taking justice into her own hands. And so by killing this other girl she thought the bullying would stop, but it never ever will stop.

Why do the judges in this show so many leeway to the defense, but never to the prosecutors?? When Novak was going to prove a point, the judge was like “get to it, Miss Novak”, but when the defense does something like this, the judge is like take all the time you need.

[@donutarmageddon7975]

This was at least partially based on a local case here that became well known, that of Shanda Sharer. We've had so very many heartbreaking examples of bullying , not to mention the untold cost to adult survivors, and yet we seem to have learned nothing.

5:39 takes one to recognize the other, I suppose. If it's true, and some of those bullies were nicer when children, I have to wonder how different midia like "Kingdom Hearts" would look like if set in real life, where the power of friendship is weaker.

Agnes says they used to be friends. If friends could mutate grotesquely into these freaks, I have to wonder what some of those anime characters who go on about the power of friendship end up as. I have to ask if friendship is even a real concept anymore. What do you people think ?

[@alphagirl5212]

Either something happen to those girls that made them change that Agnes is unaware of, or they were hiding their true selves until the right moment came (And some people are good at hiding how they really are). If they were really her friends they would have never done what they did. Hell, if they were decent people that didn't want to be her friend anymore, they could've distance themselves without humiliating & bullying her. I do think friendship is a real thing that exists. I think sometimes its hard for some people to find it.

[@JabamiLain]

​@@alphagirl5212my concept of what is real and what isn't is based on how long it lasts. Friendship isn't an exception. I think I had/have friendships, but introverted as I am, I'm unable to be sure. Also, why would they wait years to show their rotten cores ?

[@alphagirl5212]

@@JabamiLainLike I mentioned, some people are good at hiding their real selves. Maybe they don't realize that themselves until they get the opportunity. That's my theory.

[@anikabeauty547]

Friendship tends to be a shallow concept for kids. As a preteen, friendship was mainly about who I sat with at lunch and who played with me on the playground. I didn't really get substantial friendships until halfway through highschool. Maybe Agnes and the rest were friends but merely good classmates. Once they reached puberty, Britney decided Agnes was cramping her style and moved on. It could also be that Britney just tolerated her but Agnes saw the friendship as something deeper which would make sense given how othered Agnes has been.

[@JabamiLain]

@@anikabeauty547 but aren't there children who you grow up with who genuinely try to maintain the friendship ? More importantly, when do you realize that a friendship may actually mean something to you ?

Brittany's a bone-fide psychopath: Sadistic, manipulative, a compulsive liar, short temper and a complete lack of empathy. All of her group was rotten, but she was one level worse.

[@alexandriaNicolee1]

This is one of my favorite episodes, but I feel like the ending just shines a light on how fat people are treated. The creators couldn’t even let Agnes have any peace in the end; she had to be turned into a murderer which is going to increase the shaming she already faces. Really shows the implicit bias of people in general.. imo

[@mangohaeppchen3447]

It’s a universal problem, so will likely never change. I lived in Paris after gaining the freshman 15 (up to a size 8) and was told to go on a diet (by a nun) and jog the baby weight off. I’ve been a swizzle stick ever since. I’ll take a restrictive diet over mean comments any day.

[@alexandriaNicolee1]

@@mangohaeppchen3447 That’s so sad. Restrictive is just as bad at over eating, but I will say I understand.. I’ve started losing weight for health reasons and it’s definitely made people treat me better.

@@alexandriaNicolee1I had a similar situation, I lost a decent amount of weight when I started working on my feet, but I kept wearing my old clothes (didn’t realize how much weight I had lost), until finally someone pointed it out and I got clothes that fit. Literally overnight almost everyone treated me differently- better. They were friendlier to me, guys that wouldn’t even look at me tried to flirt with me and ask me out, people came to help me when I was getting overwhelmed from how busy the store was, hell, they even started giving me more hours. The whole thing made my skin crawl. Like…I was the exact same person before they noticed I’d lost weight. It was literally just the way I looked that made people treat me better. It almost made me want to quit, being around so many shallow people, but it was one of the best paying jobs in the tiny town I lived in.

[@jwiese100]

Loved this episode, but it feels like it should've been OG Law and order because the crime was murder and not a sexual based offense.

[@annlouiserainey4888]

Another example of real life school bullying turned deadly. But, only Emily was murdered instead of Agnes, but Brittney falsely accused Agnes because she was bullied. Only so Brittney would tell herself that she gets off Scot free. Delusional, really. Still, Brittney would continue to lie about the murdered; constantly throwing her own friends and the falsely accused u see the bus. Also committing cyberbullying towards Agnes. Just because Agnes wasn’t as rich or pretty as Brittney and her friends; even having a rough life. Even going as far as Emily and her friends were bullying Agnes, is it that different than murdering Emily because she stole Brittney’s boyfriend? No! And even after killing Brittney, Agnes went to jail. Bullying doesn’t bring justice nor bring good people together; unless it’s to get themselves in trouble with the law and karma that follows.
