God, that's another candidate for one of my favorites. If only because there is no goddamn way in the aftermath the dad wouldn't have sued every one of them out of their jobs because that murder-suicide was 100% their fault for doing absolutely nothing to restrain her. And you didn't even mention the part where the dad threw his son through a window. Still say the one with the mo key is the best. If I recall this in order: It starts with them investigating a woman who was assaulted by a wannabe rapper. Then they find out says wannabe rapper has connections tona Russian monster who smuggled animals-including a tiger he cuts into steaks to eat and turtle eggs smuggled in a woman’s shirt. And it ends with said mobster’s #2 guy being revealed as an undercover cop. that's the episode "Wildlife". I remember it because Olivia appeared in a black lace bra

Let’s not forget the coffee one; dead body is of a gold digger who was engaged to marry the heir to a coffee fortune. Turns out she also had a fling with the father, and in the end she was killed by the family lawyer. Who was herself in love with the son and ends up killing them both by yanking him off a roof. God I love this show. God, that's another candidate for one of my favorites. If only because there is no goddamn way in the aftermath the dad wouldn't have sued every one of them out of their jobs because that murder-suicide was 100% their fault for doing absolutely nothing to restrain her. And you didn't even mention the part where the dad threw his son through a window. The dad was a pedophile. Oh, wait...that was real life. So awful how Stephen Collins did some great stuff (7th Heaven, Always Sunny, and The Office) only to be a huge pervert.

I just want one episode where the first suspect they question is actually the guilty party, he/she confesses, and the team then enjoys a casual night out eating Pizza, having a beer and talking about the previous night's Mets game

This guy just pulled his pants down in a library to show that he had his testicles removed to prove that he didn't rape and murder a small child

Episode starts with them watching someone's execution then the rest of it is just them out hanging out with each other in various subplots. ... It's really bad.

Can't believe we've gotten this long without Martin Short, psychic virgin lover.

Newborn found dead in a sewer. Mother found dead in her bed. Detectives find a doctor that the mother was looking up. They think he killed her. He gives a blood sample. It doesn't match the murder but it matches a cold case on a rape. They arrest him. He winds up dead. Autopsy finds he hid a tube under his arm filled with blood he stole from a patient. His real blood matched the murder. The rapist thinks he's free and kidnaps another girl. They track him down to a dock and he had the girl hidden in a big cooler.

What's really baffling about that episode is the tube-implanted-in-the-arm-full-of-blood thing is lifted from a real rape case (seen an episode of Forensic Files on it) and that detail and the drama surrounding it alone probably could've sustained an episode on its own. There wasn't really much need to pile all the other stuff on top of it.

I love how that episode keeps being mentioned in this thread because it's legit probably my favorite one. It's just so utterly batshit. Also, apparently the current season did an episode about incels. Just turned it on and right from the word go you have a clown jumpscare followed by someone being attacked by what's apparently a member of Daft Punk. This is gonna be good. Edit: And then right from the word go you have people whose job is solving sex crimes, in 2019, not knowing what Chad and Stacy mean and thinking the perp attacked the wrong people. Oh yeah, this is gonna be a ride.

Season 12 Episode 19
Cassandra was played by Rose McGowan. There was also a side plot where they suspected this crazy Italian man of committing the crime because he would wander around his neighborhood all night due to some disease which caused him not to sleep. He had Jerry's blood all over him even days after the attack but it turned out that Jerry just happened to run into him and get him bloody.

Okay, yeah, this episode is absolutely nuts, I'm just gonna catalogue it as I go here. Season 20, episode 4, Revenge if anyone wants to play along at home.
Another great early point is that there just happens to actually be a guy named Chad living in the building and they decide that he MUST be the one who the attacker was after, despite his wife not being named Stacy. They arrest the guy his wife cheated with and immediately start yelling about how there's no way an aerobics instructor would be allowed to have a gun. Wut?
Also, the second "Stacy" of the episode has a short bob haircut and a relatively flat chest, IE not a Stacy at all. Oh, sorry, Stacey, they just showed a bulletin board with it and the episode is spelling it wrong. Which is weird since I'd think without the E is the more common spelling even as an actual name.
. . . Carisi, you didn't find a single result for a couple named Chad and Stacy anywhere until you went to the dark web? Anywhere? Are you serious?
Wait, wait, they have to spend twelve minutes building up them finding out what Chad and Stacy means but just plop the word incel out there like it's nothing and throw it around several times before they really offer any actual explanation of it.
I have to bold this. Fin?
"There's absolutely no reason for anybody to be involuntarily celibate. That's why God invented hookers."
You gist over what an incel is but go out of your way to explain the meaning of omega?
And now there's some weird tangent about millenial sex parties with the stock sad music playing over it.
. . . I didn't wanna bold again so soon but. . .
"There's no such thing as rape. It's in the Constitution, right? All men are created equal. We're entitled to life, liberty, and happiness, and sex makes us happy. That's what I call a fundamental right."
"Why? Everyone loves John!" "Obviously not everyone!" Dude, your son's been shot, is now the time to argue about how popular he is?
Benson has the most hilarious facial expressions during this hospital scene. Every little thing is making her fly into googly-eyed terror. Not helped by how for some reason she's dressed like Brother Love.
. . . You just instantly assume that Riley and O'Reilly are referring to the same person because they sound similar? I mean, I'm sure you're right but that's a major reach.
Private incel message board on the dark web? Dude, it's 2019, they'd just be using Discord.
"He's a milennial cliche. 27-years-old and lives with his mom." And also wearing thick glasses that don't fit right and wearing a button-up shirt while sitting around at home, with his bottom lip always hanging down. Subtle.
Paul Heyman's Clone: Three people doesn't make an enterprise. Prosecutor: But the thousands of self-pitying souls comprising the incel does.
"De omeguhs awe wising! We're gonna get what we're owed, all ovuh thuh country, the world! You're looking at a wevolution by men who have NOTHING to lose!" Seriously, if you want this guy to be intimidating don't dress him up like the most stereotypical geek possible and have him talk like he's doing a Peewee Herman impression.
Great, this is one of those ones where they're bending over backwards to stack the deck, by way of just having evidence magically thrown out entirely because it's effective and this is one of the weeks when witnesses mean absolutely nothing.
Are Benson and Rollins really the right people to get offended at the idea that there might be bad mothers in the world? They're both pretty terrible mothers.
This isn't really an issue with the episode so much but this is my first time really seeing Stone and this guy is an absolute plank. He's SO boring. Best I can tell his defining personality trait is, "Always mildly annoyed."
"Chad and Stacy! Stacy and Chad! Winners of the genetic lottery, flaunting it to the rest of us!"
This ranting and raving is made so much worse by the fact that the guy is. . . not good at the actor.
"You raped me? Well, I have moral superiority because you had the WRONG PHONE NUMBER! Hahaha, loser!" followed by sudden cut to crying. Perfect, exactly the right note to end the episode on.
... Yeah. Yeah, this one is a f***ing trip.

Since this one just came on (been watching the show on Hulu the past few days since it makes for convenient background noise), feel like it needs some attention drawn to it - Doubt.
Not that it's all that out there, pretty routine he-said she-said with some false allegations and a suicide attempt along the way to pad it out, but man is it one of the most inherently flawed things they ever did.
Okay, so the basic premise of the episode is woman accuses man of raping her, both sides are shown doing both good and bad things with evidence supporting each of them in what they're saying about the situation, and the outcome of the trial is left up to the viewer's interpretation by cutting away.
The issues with this are that... One, in a legal setting it just plain doesn't work. With all of the constant room for different perspectives on the subject throughout the episode the only responsible thing to do is to go with not guilty because there most certainly is reasonable doubt. Additionally, they go too far in trying to make the woman in this situation come off just as untrustworthy as the accused rapist by having her basically try and frame Stabler and just in general being pretty unreliable, and the only real argument they have for why she should be believed on this one is, "Well why would she be testifying if it wasn't true?" Like, I've seen this episode multiple times and I've never at all understood why we're supposed to potentially believe the woman in this situation.
I've seen some people argue with this one that, "Oh, well, siding with the man is going to show just why rape is so hard to prosecute and why victims have it so hard!" but in this particular case they just plain botched the intended message.

How about the one where Benson spends 90% of the episode boringly baby-talking into a phone to a girl trapped in what they spend a good chunk of the episode thinking is a vehicle and somehow won an Emmy for it?
I think the best part is how them catching the guy at the end makes absolutely no sense. Dude had three ample opportunities to get away - either doing something with the time between when the call dropped and they caught him doing literally anything other than burying the girl alive considering that had to have taken at least an hour or two, staying far away from the crime scene he had to have been aware the police were onto by that point, or just plain turning and running back to his car when they went inside because they were doing literally nothing to keep him from doing so.
The guy literally could have just used the shovel to smash the little girl's head in, dumped her in his car to dispose of later, grabbed what he needed from the store he was operating out of, and taken off running and they never would've caught him, but nooooo, he had to go the supervillain route.
Edit: Wait, wait, I have a much better one.
Kid goes missing at a birthday party. They immediately expect a convinced child molester in the area, says he was busy. There's this whole subplot with a vigilante group out hunting pedophiles and causing problems with the police that ends up being completely dropped after their third or fourth scene and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual plot since their only real impact - tainting a lineup by showing a kid a picture - amounts to nothing because the kid's lying anyway.
So anyway, they find the kid dead and discover he was force-fed rocks by another boy, who's the one who got them looking toward the pedophile. He does this big sob routine about how he was bullied, they do absolutely no investigation and move to have him sent to family court, at the behest of the dead kid's dad who is super chill about the whole thing but is cleverly foreshadowed that he's about to explode by the characters repeatedly saying he is. Then once it's too late to backpedal they investigate and find the kid's actually completely nuts and would do stuff like burn himself with cigarettes. They burst into court just in time for him to be sentenced to only a few years, once the dad learns what's actually going on he grabs an officer's gun and shoots the kid point-blank in the middle of the courthouse.
Somehow the dad is not immediately pumped full of bullets and is instead slammed against the wall and insists he has no memory of even doing it. They do this whole long back and forth arguing over whether he was thinking coherently in the moment, which Huang argues he wasn't because he has too many symptoms of it because that's how that works. Guy's ultimately found not guilty then freely admits to the prosecutor that he totally shot the kid on purpose and doesn't regret it, just walks away with zero press swarming him or those vigilantes from earlier trying anything or anything, he's cool, the end.

Haven't seen this one mentioned yet: this sweet natured (but dimwitted) high school football player comes from the south to NYC to visit a college to see if he wants to play there.
While staying on campus a group of jocks tricks him into receiving sexual contact from a male student in front of a bunch of people.
After THAT he runs into what is (unbeknownst to him) a gay bar and ends up assaulting a guy for flirting with him
The funniest/saddest part was the confused look on his face as he explained he thought it was a regular sports bar because they were watching hockey on tv
