Olivia defending Stabler to Barba is one thing, but get the timeline right. Olivia was partners with Stabler for over 12 years and he left. She had no contact with him until he returned. She hasn't known him for 23 years. In the years since he's been back, their interactions have been limited. A lot can change in a person during the ten years he was away. She can't say she knows him, since almost half that time they had no contact. I think Barba was wrong in defending Wheatley, and Olivia was justified in her feelings. I support her defense of Stabler, but get the time period in defending him right.
