Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 20

Judge Kofax:
I protected all of them.

Benson:
Protected them? How?

Judge Kofax:
Like they were my own daughters. Lisa White, Fela Bashear, Brett Baker, Anya Beck Skobler - she was 18. They were all dead already.

Sonny:
What are you talking about?

Judge Kofax:
Their souls were dead. The minute they walked into my courtroom. Junkies, thieves, stealing their own lives, their own futures from their parents who loved them, who were helpless. I kept their daughters safe. I made sure they only had good, clean doses. No OD's. Kept them alive.

Schwartz:
That's enough, Edward.

Judge Kofax:
It is not enough! It's never enough! They were dead inside, their eyes are dead. But if they are still breathing, if their hearts are still beating, then they still have a chance! If I'd given Delia that chance, then maybe... [chokes up]

Sonny:
Delia?

Judge Kofax:
She was 16 when she overdosed. It did not have to end that way. Her body in the ground. Cold. Alone. My little girl.
