I am also a big L&O fan, and I watched last night's SVU episode. I was pretty upset, especially since I stayed up late to watch it and all it did was make it harder to fall asleep afterward.
I really didn't understand the purpose of the entire civil hearing though, are prosecuters not able to enter into a plea bargin for what ever reason they see fit as long as the trial judge signs off? It appeared to me the deal was based on the the prosecuter's confidence in the jury, regardless of the specific evidence presented to them.
