Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 7
Devere:
Your honor, at this time, the defense would move for a mistrial.
Judge Malloy:
Ms. Devere, you can't do that. This is a hearing. Not a trial.
Devere:
My apologies, Judge Malloy. That motion wasn't made to you. I'm speaking to Judge Donnelly. Nathan Phelps was compelled to incriminate himself in these proceedings. The testimony is admissible in his criminal trial and violates his right against self-incrimination. It's grounds for a mistrial.
Judge Donnelly:
Motion granted. The criminal case against Nathan Phelps is dismissed with prejudice.
Geddes:
What?!
Novak:
In that event, Judge Malloy, I move to dismiss this proceeding. Now that there is no case against Nathan Phelps, there is no reason to investigate this research.
Geddes:
Your honor, this is a setup, perpetrated by the DA's office.
Judge Malloy:
Mr. Geddes, I'd agree with you, except you're the one who called Mr. Phelps to the stand. This action is dismissed. Court is adjourned.
