Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Season 9

Novak:
It doesn't matter what he did, Larry Moore was murdered. That is a Class-A fellony.

Novak:
That has no baring on the law.

Lydia:
Explain that to John Q. Public. There'll be months of media spinning. Trotting out the murdered womans family members in support of a rogue FBI agent.

Novak:
