[@b2kzangelalwayz]

Very weird twist

[@argella1300]

As a defense attorney it’s not a matter of “taking sides”, Barba was doing his job. Plain and simple. You think John Adams was excited to be defending the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre? Absolutely not, he knew his career as a lawyer was finished after he took that case. But he did it anyway, because everyone accused of a crime has a right to a lawyer to represent them in court before a trial of a jury of their peers.

[@jets2492]

He did it so he could have a high stakes rematch with carisi, after he got beat the first time.

[@kaferrat]

The Wheatley story line was such a great one. He was the huge constant pebble in Stabler's shoe that he couldn't get rid of as hard as he tried. 😆🤣

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

And that, ladies and gents, is why you should never seek to testify in your own defense.

Boy he screwed up! And carisi made sure to repeat it plain and simple so the jury understood what he did.

Everybody's furious with Barba for taking the case. I'm delighted, I feel this was too good of an excuse for the writers to have him back and just instantly make the episode more compelling, they couldn't very well have just any lawyer in that position and I think they simply don't care that it feels out of character. I mean, he has never been motivated by greed, maybe glory, but he would still see a mile through Wheatley being a monster. If his best reason for getting involved is 'the police are framing him because they can't prove he did it and that is wrong' it's really nothing more than a bit of a fabricated reason to create conflict with Benson, have him back in court opposite Carisi

[@erinraecowin]

Sorry, Barba. You never should have left. Carisi is better than you.

[@daniellam3306]

No, he's not. The only 2 times Carisi "has beaten" Barba were just because Barba's clients lost their temper at court, but that isn't related to Barba's skills as a lawyer. Actually Carisi didn't even have like a win because he couldn't make the jury to found the accused guilty.

[@yuweizhou7071]

No Carisi is not. Carisi has one of the worst performances as an ADA; he was far better suited as a detective. 'Interrogating' the witness on the stand, being overly emotional explicitly, and prosecuting inflexibly almost unskillfully; these are the most unwanted characters for an ADA in an Open Trial. Carisi may have had noticeable wins but only for the merit of the case instead of his tactics or strategies. In Comparison, ADA Cabot was politically connected; ADA Novak was personally charming and always presenting cases fiercely with superior tactics and exceptional observations (e.g. season 5 citing birthstone); ADA Barba was also a remarkable tactician (e.g. Season 14 Line "Where's the Buckle?") with a very strong personality and interactions. Carisi has none of these flavours; his merit as a detective was much cleverer.

[@carmie9400]

Give Carisi some time…

[@queenheart6167]

Sorry, although I love Carisi, he's no better than Barba. He couldn't win both times they faced each other, even though Barba's clients were visibly guilty. The first Barba should not win because otherwise it would be legitimizing "justice in their own hands", and even then it was not even considered a victory. And now, even with the guy threatening him, he didn't get the conviction. So no, Carisi is still no better than Barba. And neither could. Barba worked as a lawyer for 21 years. Carisi has a lot of ground to come.
