Svu blackout

When defense attorney Nikki Staines is raped after a police charity event, Svu blackout reluctantly looks to her own for a suspect. Benson is leaving the gym and bumps into Nikki Staines who is pleasantly surprised to see her.

Another bogus episode. Where is the crime? Miller has consensual drunken sex with the lawyer and she dropped her phone in his car. Certainly not enough to lock him up without bail. This show is ridiculous.

Let's start this review of "Blackout" 20x18 , the latest gripping episode of Law and Order: SVU, with a short public service announcement. Due to a prior commitment your regular reviewer, Shirleena Cunningham was unable to review this episode and asked for someone to pinch hit for her. That would be me, DJRiter. When offered the opportunity I grabbed it to revisit a show I've been a fan of for a very long time. I will admit I've not been a regular viewer in recent years but do stop in from time to time to catch up with the detectives of the 16th Precinct. This week those detectives were faced with a challenging case that dealt strongly with the abuse of power. Benson and company are frustrated when one of their latest cases that have gone to trial is derailed by a familiar nemesis, defense attorney Nikki Staines Callie Thorne. It's hard to tell if it's arrogance or sincerity when she tries to make nice with Fin Ice-T and Carisi Peter Scanavino. Fortunately, to take the sting out of her biting comments, Deputy Chief Dodd Peter Gallagher brings back-up in the form of high-profile attorney, Rob Miller, who is defending the department against Nikki's lawsuit, Rob Miller Titus Welliver , a man he describes as being the true power in the city. Although powerful, Miller comes across a bit smarmy and sleazy after bungling attempts to hit on both Olivia and Detective Rollins Kellie Giddish who remain unimpressed. Welliver created a commanding presence as Miller, walking that fine line between charming and creepy. Rollins and Carisi are stunned the next day when they find the assault victim of their next case is none other than Nikki, who can't help them identify her attacker because she suffered some sort of blackout and the last thing she remembers is being at the police charity event. The detectives follow standard procedure and begin their investigation by looking into Nikki's former clients, which does not sit well with Nikki.

Miller was a powerful guy who had no morals -- who knew how far he'd go to intimidate Benson? I'm also thankful that Carisi and Rollins being on opposite sides of this one was both short-lived and civilized. Am I allowed to say how wonderful you look svu blackout

When defense attorney Nikki Staines is raped after a police charity event, Benson reluctantly looks to her own for a suspect. Deputy Chief Dodds : [to Olivia] I heard about the traffic stop. I'm as upset as you are. I have a phone call to the superintendent of the State Police to find out what happened. Olivia Benson : My son, Dodds. They did this to me in front of my son. Noah was hysterical.

When defense attorney Nikki Staines is raped after a police charity event, Benson reluctantly looks to her own for a suspect. Benson is leaving the gym and bumps into Nikki Staines who is pleasantly surprised to see her. After exchanging greetings, Staines offers tickets to the charity ball because she bought them prior to her going through a divorce but the latter declines because she has a ticket herself and will see her there. At the party, Benson and Rollins complain about how the party is not very interesting before they notice Fin and Carisi sharing a talk with Staines. Soon Chief Dodds appears with a friend but everyone recognizes as Rob Miller one of the famed lawyers in the city. The next day, a woman is found on a stoop behaving groggy.

Benson is on the stand and being cross examined by a defense attorney played by Callie Thorne. She wants to file a motion to dismiss. The judge says he's thinking of dropping all charges and wants to see counselors in his chambers right now. Benson meets with her personal trainer later and then runs into Staines on the street. Staines offers her a ticket to a police charity party. Benson says that's unethical and anyway she already has a ticket. Both Benson and Rollins feel Miller is hitting on them. Someone calls the cops after finding Staines passed out on some stairs in an apartment. Staines wakes up and says help. Fin and Rollins come to the scenes.

Goofs It is extremely rare for a defendant who isn't being charged with a class A-I felony to be denied bail, and even then it is fairly common for defendants being charged with murder in the second degree to receive bail, though at a very high amount.

Cops have a lot of power, and citizens don't always have the resources to fight the bad ones.

It must have had something to do with Olivia's job security. When defense attorney Nikki Staines is raped after a police charity event, Benson reluctantly looks to her own for a suspect. The presumption was that while Dodds made it seem like he was supporting Benson, he was really working against her. He's her boss not the other way around.
