Privileged Brat

One of my favorite SVU episodes involves Erik Von Detten playing a spoiled rich kid who nearly gets away with murder of a Brazilian film student he was involved with. All this is with the complicity and connivance of his father John Bolger and his grandmother Michael Learned who rules the family with an iron hand.

I liked this episode because too often the rich can buy justice and get themselves out of trouble like this. They can also afford a high priced defense attorney like Mariette Hartley as Von Detten does in this story.

A former call girl who Von Detten brought for a date to his senior prom once and whom he assaulted puts the kibosh on his defense showing a pattern of bad behavior. The woman played by Sarah Wayne Callies has a lot to lose as she's now married to a wealthy former john.

Erik Von Detten who normally played good kids does a real nice job as a privileged brat that you ache to see get his.
