Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Juvenile (2002)
Best dramatic episode from SVU
Most SVU episodes do not make victims out of the the helpless. Usually, the SVU detectives and DA made sure that the people who didn't deserve being punished didn't.
The actor who played the overweight, socially out placed and mentally immature Jeremy Brice did so with the skill that should earn him an Emmy Award. You couldn't help but sympathize for him, and the detectives and DA knew this kid was basically innocent. But the end will absolutely leave you with you jaw dropped and saying: "You gotta be kidding me!"
The actual killer in the episode is a cold, methodical kid, but he is a bit of an over-actor. (Think William Shatner at age 10.)
The sad part is that this kind of injustice happens more often they people want to believe. It's a question of social commentary: A DA Office that feels it's more important to wrongly convict and send a 14 year old to prison for life instead of sending him to juvenile court. Image over justice.
