Who's your favorite New Yorker, living or dead, real or fictional? Jerry Orbach. He really was Mr. New York, and people don't realize what a great Broadway hoofer he was.

Lemony Snicket: I don’t know. It’s hard to say why I like it so much. It is in some ways indefensible.

surprised Women's Entertainment picked it up a few years back, stealing a bit of the load from TNT who still airs L&O Classic, but cool

LOLA was pretty bad IIRC, but yeah definitely better when Rubirosa crossed over. kind of a laughable intro for her if i remember, getting off an airport escalator or something
they dumped the "women's entertainment" brand, now it's just "we got the l&o"

does california have more stringent requirements to pass probable cause standards before proceeding to trial? they keep doing separate courtroom scenes for that on LOLA, like it's standard.

What’s the craziest thing anyone’s ever said to you about the tattoo?Some people just think it’s stupid. They’ll be like, why would you get that, it’s ridiculous! I’m like, I like Law & Order a little bit more than you. If you liked it more you’d understand why I had this tattoo. Why wouldn’t you if you’re dedicated?Do you have any idea if Mariska has seen the Dick Wolf tattoo?As far as I know she has not. I’ve tweeted several times at her because I want her to see it more than anything.

Dzundza was born in Rosenheim, Germany, to a Ukrainian father and Polish mother who were forced into factory labour by the Nazis.[3] He spent the first few years of his life in displaced persons camps with his parents and one brother.[4] Before immigrating to the United States in 1956, the family lived in Amsterdam for some years. His family then moved to the US, settling in New York City, where George attended Xavier High School.

I don't watch SVU anymore but apparently tonight's episode opened with Jack McCoy giving the eulogy at Ben Stone's funeral.
Also, I forgot that one of the Chicago series has Ben Stone's son as a character.

As Law & Order: SVU is heading into its record-tying 20th season, NBC is expanding the Law & Order franchise with a 13-episode order to Law & Order: Hate Crimes, from Law & Order boss Dick Wolf.Co-created with one of Wolf’s top lieutenants, former Law & Order: SVU showrunner Warren Leight, the latest Law & Order installment is based on New York’s actual Hate Crimes Task Force, the second oldest bias-based task force in the U.S. The unit, which pledges to uphold a zero tolerance policy against discrimination of any kind, works under the NYPD’s real Special Victims Unit and often borrows SVU’s detectives to assist in their investigations.The new Law & Order series will be introduced as a planted spinoff from SVU, with the first incarnation of the new unit appearing in the latter part of the upcoming season of the Mariska Hargitay-starring series.

is the beginning of season 8 the first episode that starts with a live victim?
― j., Thursday, March 7, 2013 5:30 AM (five years ago)
no
they basically do it for the first few seasons, which also usually start with beat cops jibber jabbering until there's an incident or a cry for help (sometimes, they do it like this, but with no live victim), and the last few, which use more of a mix of ordinary-sitch conversation or scenes previewing the issues around the crime but in such a way as to show the live victim

thanks to the mueller report i now have an answer to my question!!! i think
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_(formal_criminal_charge)
Because the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution expressly creates a constitutional right to be indicted by a grand jury, the information is used in federal criminal procedure only when a defendant voluntarily pleads guilty (often as part of a plea bargain) and waives the right to an indictment.[11]However, the Fifth Amendment right to a grand jury indictment does not apply against the state governments because the grand jury provision has not been incorporated against the states by the Fourteenth Amendment. Thus, the information has always been the dominant charging document in the western states, where extremely dispersed population distribution during the American frontier era made it difficult to select and convene petit juries to hold trials. In that era, convening even larger grand juries just to indict criminals was seen as an unnecessary extravagance.In western states, district attorneys are authorized by statute to charge criminal suspects by filing informations. The defendant is then entitled to challenge the information at a preliminary hearing, during which the prosecution must establish to the judge's satisfaction that probable cause exists to bind over the defendant until trial. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the constitutionality of this procedure in Hurtado v. California (1886).The grand jury is still available in the states where informations are used, but it is usually used only for issuing indictments for certain types of crimes or for certain types of anti-corruption investigations.
