Olivia's Humiliating Testimony Continues At The Hands Of Her Attacker | Law & Order SVU

[@janjr165]

The judge should have never allowed him to get in Olivia’s face and scream at her. That’s not treating a witness as a hostile witness, that’s intimidation and the judge should have ended his line of questioning immediately.

[@dtyodeller]

She didn’t look intimidated to me. She wasn’t scared if him and he knew it.

@@dtyodeller: You missed the point. The point is that there’s a significant difference between questioning a witness and intimidating a witness. His actions were intimidation, not questioning.

I'm no legal expert but this should have been declared a mistrial the moment that monster crossed the lined.

[@scrubaatividya]

yeah or atleast he should've been restrained and given a legal rep after he approached the stand and got violent to the point he was frothing at the mouth, yeah it's all fake and scripted cause it's a show (tho from my knowledge a majority of episodes from these shows are based on real cases) but if that was scripted then he should've been treated as aggressive by the court, feels like plenty of moments in this part of the episodes should've caused mistrial or for him to lose the right to represent himself, consistently trying to lead and force his claims as true (which isn't exactly wrong cause everyone does that to keep their criminal clients safe, force a false story but it was ridiculous how aggressive his attempts at leading were), becoming increasingly hostile towards Benson because he was obviously trying to make her say or do something that would force the case in his favor so he could get off scot-free and ofc what was pointed out by her legal rep: he was at this point just using the trial to humiliate and traumatise Benson, that alone should've been a nail in the coffin and to me feels like a competent judge wouldve told him to sit down and await legal rep during a lunch break or smth

[@kaferrat]

Apparently the judge didn't think Lewis "crossed the line". 😜

It’s not a moral question but a legal one - she is a witness whose testimony is antagonistic to the defendant (the one calling her to testify)’s legal position. Once she begins answering and this becomes clear in the judge’s eyes, the attorney (or defendant in this case) must ask for permission to treat her as hostile. He does and, because she has refuted or disagreed with his legal claims to that point, the judge rules that she is antagonistic to his legal defense. Ergo a hostile witness. This is the right call.

@@voiceintheopen345 The premise of the US justice system is “innocent until proven guilty”. It’s an adversarial system whereby the “state” (District Attorneys and Prosecutors) seek Justice for “the people” against the defense. By the US constitution all citizens have the right to an attorney, either at their own expense or by the “State’s”. Problem is, prosecutors always get more funding and resources, so defendants (especially if poor) have to rely on Public Defenders (lawyers working via organizations or by demand of “the Court”).

What if William Lewis had other family members like a brother, or a sister, or if his parents or any other of his family members wanted revenge against Olivia for his death or if someone close to Olivia that she thought she knew was really a family member of William Lewis that would be a very neat idea if SVU would come back on tv for another season.

[@jasonchandler9777]

According to William Lewis himself, he only had his father - who we as the viewers assume is dead - but that would be a cool idea for another season.

[@BenKelley-ek2ht]

Also thought his female lawyer would be obsessed with him and come back for revenge

Pablo Schreiber was terrific in this role !

[@marsmaximoff_]

this man infuriates me the same way Charlotte from h20: just add water does

[@MrBleachfreak247]

Objection, the defence is testifying.

[@MyJustin316]

the dude was out of order and out of line on olivia what a punk and i dont why the judge did nothing about it this was badgering the witness

[@kamelan2189]

This made me stop looking at the show for a while. How can an injustice like this take place?????He was an Evil criminal 🤬

[@ashleymarks3726]

why is she being questioned by her attacker?!?!?!

[@davidpar2]

Because he’s representing himself in court

[@NickMcFarland01]

​@@davidpar2I thought it (self-rep.) was common knowledge. No, sir...guess not.

[@Dana_Scully1]

The fact that I was able to catch more objections than the prosecutor speaks volumes.

[@kneedropperr]

I guess Jimmy Rings was never a chill dude.

[@BonnerDoemling]

Maybe it’s just me, but if I were on this jury I wouldn’t be able to wait until I got to convict him. An innocent person doesn’t act like that

[@jofrench7525]

This was heartbreaking

[@KingDeuces22]

Best villain in the show. I hate how in the end, Murphy lies for her to cover up her perjury and remove all the consequences she would have faced for them. They routinely depict the police and lawyers breaking the law but it’s okay, because this guy just so happened to kill 30 people. With the implication being maybe EVERYONE is guilty and therefore all police misconduct is fine.

[@NickMcFarland01]

Yes, sir...they are both criminals. Olivia hates him moreso for the primitive side that liked him for it.

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

Nothing humiliating at all. She was perfect!!

[@kenbaker-ps6ej]

This actor is phenomenal.

[@dredre999]

This episode was so emotional

[@nellyketa1767]

So we're allowed to have tantrums is court while questioning witnesses

[@crossface7770]

this guy becomes Master Chief

[@user-rx8no1zt4c]

I hope that no judge would allow this line of questioning to happen in real life.

[@themermaidstale5008]

In actual courtrooms, the lawyers must request permission to approach a witness. It’s not like Perry Mason, where it was done so Perry and the witness would be shown in the shoot together.

[@Rileyann130]

I can’t remember his name but there is a lawyer that makes KZbin videos and I’m gonna need him to do an analysis on this scene cause there is NO WAY that any of this is legal! But whoever is playing Lewis is honestly an amazing actor because I am GENUINELY so fucking terrified of him

[@MrWario360]

Even so there rules and guide lines to follow how can we trust people to protect us and enforce rules when they can’t even follow them

[@bridgetbinion8494]

Pablo did such a good job at being so very bad.

[@libirdinowski6270]

Pablo Schreiber is so fucking good at being this guy its scary lol

[@JF-um3wz]

Using the cross examination to testify instead of her probably crosses some kind of line, right? There’s a huge reason why being your own lawyer is a problem, this completely obfuscates any argument because he’s leading the witness by testifying during someone else’s examination.

[@lilyweston3148]

WHY IS HE YELLING BRUH
