An off-duty cop is stabbed to death, and her assailant is critically wounded. Eyewitness Monica Johnson tells detectives Lenny Briscoe and Rey Curtis that she saw the man follow the victim into the park—but holes in her story lead them to arrest her for the officer’s death. District Attorney Adam Schiff faces political pressure to seek the death penalty for the cop killer. After prosecutor Jack McCoy gets Monica to confess on the stand, she undergoes a religious transformation and chooses not to fight her ex*****on. McCoy and ADA Jamie Ross debate whether a repentant killer should face the death penalty. Monica’s cause is taken up by both left-wing and right-wing lawyers, who petition to spare her life.

Meanwhile, Lt. Anita Van Buren’s discrimination suit against the NYPD is dismissed, and Briscoe’s daughter is pressured into participating in a dangerous sting operation to take down her drug dealer.

We’re talking about Law & Order season eight, episode 21 “Bad Girl.” Our returning guest is Mark Blankenship. The episode was inspired by the case of Karla Faye Tucker.

On a flight to Paris, distraught 12 year old Dominique says she was forced to give a naked massage to well-connected New York billionaire Jordan Hayes. Detectives Benson and Stabler suspect his ex-girlfriend Dahlia is helping him procure underage girls from around the world. Before they can arrest him, Hayes shows up at SVU to accuse Dominique of ra**ng him.

ADA Hadwick is unsuccessful at getting a warrant for the video footage from the billionaire's massage room. After Munch convinces another of Hayes's victims to post her experience online, several pre-teens step forward to tell their stories. Benson tries to get Dahlia to flip, but she refuses. That's when Stabler tells her that Hayes has made a sweetheart deal with the Feds to save himself and let her take the fall.

We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 12 episode 15 "Flight." Our guest is the author of Law & Order SVU: Confidential and host of the Triviality podcast Neal E. Fischer.

This episode is inspired by the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
