YMMV / Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S7 E20 "Fat"

• Harsher in Hindsight: Actor Anthony Anderson makes a guest appearance as a detective, sent to help SVU solve a case involving an overweight black young man with Type-2 Diabetes who commits a revenge killing. In the end, the guy is convicted of second-degree murder, but isn't there to hear the verdict, because he's in the hospital after suffering a dangerous diabetic attack which gives him liver failure and results in his left foot getting amputated. The harsher part? Years later, actor Anthony Anderson, who was overweight most of his life, would get diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes in real life.
• Retroactive Recognition: Kate Mara's sister, Rooney, had one of her first roles as a once-obese murderer in the episode.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The episode goes out of its way to make it clear the audience is supposed to sympathize with the Bixton family. The lack of logic behind their anger at the police not investigating a crime that Rudy never reported aside, any chance of their actions being excusable goes out the window when the younger brother sodomizes Jessica because she insulted his sister while they were beating her up.
