| 5 | * AccidentNotMurder: Coleman claims killing Aretha was this. |
| 6 | --> '''Coleman Green''': I did the right thing. I stepped up. I got married. I always treated Cora like she was my own. |
| 7 | --> '''Carisi''': You didn't do the right thing by Aretha though. You raped and killed that 13-year-old girl. |
| 8 | --> '''Coleman Green''': No! [[WhamLine It was an accident]]. |
| 9 | * ChildByRape: Coleman impregnated Aretha, but murdered her before she could give birth. |
| 10 | * DirtyCop: Detective Szabo. |
| 11 | * DisownedParent: Cora rightfully disowns Coleman for molesting and murdering Aretha. |
| 12 | * GetOut: Benson to Szabo after a heated discussion in the former's office. |
| 13 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Benson is disgusted by Szabo's disregard for procedure. Considering all the crap that Benson has [[KarmaHoudini gotten away with]] (including but not limited to outright PoliceBrutality), she is no position to judge. |
| 14 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Detective Nadia Szabo identifies Libby by using the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) to get access to Libby's DNA from her rape kit. Afterwards, D.A. Drakos (covering up her part and Szabo's) announces that all cases that misused the OCME database are going to be overturned. |
| 15 | * ParentalIncest: Coleman denies this when confronted with his crimes on the basis that since he isn't Cora's biological father, Aretha was not his granddaughter and therefore his molestation was not a sin against God. |
| 16 | * ScaryBlackMan: [[EvilOldFolks Coleman]] [[SoftSpokenSadist Green]]. |
| 17 | * SpannerInTheWorks: 9/11 was this for Aretha's case, it led to her body not being found for another 21 years. |
