        She sounds like her voice is cracking and she's restraining herself and tbh doing a great job of turning it into what passes for sobbing but idk given the context I know I would be laughing like a madman for at least a few takes.

    For those of you just coming in

    This was a scene from Law & Order (the original series, which was just rebooted this year) where a murder suspect uses Havana Syndrome as his excuse as to why he committed the murder

    Having see the entire episode (because I hate-watch Law and Order), here are some choice bits from the episode

    1. The murder victim worked at a company that was basically Tesla, if Elon Musk had grey hair and was an open lib.

    2. The guy with Havana Syndrome murdered the victim because she was going to blow the whistle on Fake Elon Musk being a racist and sexist piece of shit who demeaned everyone around the office

    3. They foreshadow the Havana Syndrome through the episode by having the murderer clutch his head and be like "oooh owie, I have a migraine, oooh owie" multiple times

    4. The murderer worked at the State Department before Fake Tesla ( HE'S GUILTY)

    5. The DA (Sam Waterston looking exactly like he always has) has a frank heart to heart with some guy who is all but stated to be the head of the CIA about how bad this is if the murderer gets off, but also about how Havana Syndrome is real

    6. The episode never, ever, not once brings up the possibility that Havana Syndrome is fake. Like, not even trying to punch holes in it as a prosecutorial strategy

    All in all, just a complete :brainworms: episode

    Even for Law & Order

      Law & Order was always the king of having episodes written to precisely knock down straw men and prove, at the end, that libs were right all along and everyone else is not only wrong, but morally depraved as well.

        Which is funny, because that's definitely a more recent thing

        There was an older episode where they decided to charge the owner of a gun company with manslaughter because he knew their top seller could easily be modified to be fully automatic and some Chud shot up a Woman's March for Peace with one

        The jury ended up convicting him, but then the judge was like "No, WTF, I'm the judge and I say this bird ain't gonna fly", which is a far more realistic outcome than anything they're doing today

      "Oh I get it, like when some white dude who looks like a thumb gets drunk and convinces himself the hangover is really a communist plot to give him a migraine?"

          it's a thing as of a new spinoff series Law & Order: Organised Crime

          Basically he walks back into New York after 10 years of half being undercover and half being in a task force in Calabria, and in the first episode the mob gives his wife the IRA treatment when he was the intended target (or the whole family was meant to die, but only the wife did)

          He goes into absolutely hectic revenge mode and most of the underlying subplot is him continuing to straddle the line between remaining a cop (given his previous complaints of going over the top/police brutality) and basically becoming John Wick

            The fact that they take this character so seriously is hilarious
