SVU S19 E12 Info Wars
Barba, relax. I got this. It’s not like we’re laundering drug money through Albuquerque or something.
The SVU squad investigates when conservative pundit Martha Cobb (played by Rhea Seehorn) is raped during a riot at Hudson. Unlike other victims, she’s dismissive of Lt. Olivia Benson’s empathy. Sgt Fin Tutuola arrests the Antifa demonstrator who held the protest sign Cobb was violated with. But Detectives Amanda Rollins and Sonny Carisi find an alternative suspect: a devoted fan who’s also a violent extremist.
ADA Rafael Barba worries Cobb’s affect will turn off the jury. At trial, she seems more focused on scoring political points with the defense attorney than obtaining a conviction against her rapist. But when new evidence surfaces calling the suspect identification in doubt, Barba makes a bold move.
We’re talking about Law & Order: Special Victims Unit season 19 episode 12 “Info Wars.” Our returning guest is Kimberly from the “A Date with Dateline” podcast.
A character in this episode is loosely based on political commentator Ann Coulter.
