Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 14

Benson:
Mr. Amiri, we've also become aware that Mr. Rhodes was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.

Amiri:
I'm sure that's true for half my cases. But the government doesn't pardon murderers because they had a bad childhood.

Ellis:
Look, it took me 15 minutes to find out that the deceased had a record for solicitation of young men. I need to prove that the original defense lawyer to tell the jury about mitigating circumstances. Period.

Amiri:
Mr. Ellis, what we do is triage. I've got people on death row for crimes they didn't commit. You think you can come in and do a better job? Have at it.

Ellis:
Thank you. That's all I wanted to hear.
