Law & Order S1E14 "The Violence of Summer"

Go To

  • Retroactive Recognition: Gil Bellows and Philip Seymour Hoffman (in his first acting credit) play two of the defendants, while Samuel L. Jackson plays their lawyer.
  • Values Resonance: The episode is remarkably ahead of it's time on the issue of rape culture and the idea that anyone is to blame for their assault, making it extremely clear that whatever Monica may have done in her past, an imperfect victim is still a victim and deserves to be treated as such.
