Stephen Bogardus: James Decker

Quotes 

• Casey Novak : Your Honor, Mr. Decker clearly coached his clients into manipulating an abuse allegation out of Emma. That's not just outrageous, it's criminal.

  James Decker : I offered advice on how to talk to an abused child. That's all.

  Casey Novak : Mr. and Mrs. Boyd never would have accused Zoe of molesting Emma had it not been for Mr. Decker.

  Judge Taten : That's enough! Counsel, approach.

  James Decker : Your Honor, Miss Novak has no absolutely basis for these allegations.

  Casey Novak : And Mr. Decker has a history of representing straight clients fighting custody battles with their gay exes.

  James Decker : So I get slandered for choosing who I want to represent?

  Casey Novak : You fed your clients anti-gay material before custody was even an issue because you were gearing up for a fight. That means you conspired to keep Emma away from Zoe which means you committed a hate crime.

  James Decker : That's ridiculous! Not to mention you can't prove any of it.

  Judge Taten : Mr. Decker, at the very least, this is a serious breach of ethical conduct.

  James Decker : Your Honor...

  Judge Taten : I have no choice but to remove you as counsel and declare a mistrial.

• James Decker : Detectives, sorry to catch you so late. You need to remove Emma from Zoe Dunlop's custody.

  Donald Cragen : Mr. Decker, custody matters belong in family court. Unless there's been a crime, it's out of our hands.

  James Decker : Zoe Dunlop has been sexually abusing Emma ever since Kate got sick.

  Elliot Stabler : We're gonna have to hear that from Emma.

  James Decker : You will. She's at the hospital with her mother right now. You can't let her go home with Zoe.

  Olivia Benson : We've never heard any allegations before. It's a pretty big coincidence that this comes out just after Zoe gets custody.

  James Decker : Emma showed this to her grandparents.

  James Decker : Why does a grown woman take pictures of herself in bed with a naked 8-year-old girl?
