Andrea Fermi: All right, so I was drunk, and I'm not a virgin. So I'm not the perfect victim. (edit) Mike Logan: Gee, somebody's lying.
Don Cragen: Well, that makes you detective of the month, Mike. (edit) English Teacher: There is nothing so powerful as the unspoken. (edit) Ms. Gifford: We'll talk sexual misconduct.
Ben Stone: A misdemeanor for what happened to her? You have the wrong century. (edit) Phil Cerreta: Did you get any read off her?
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: After 15 minutes? How about some top of the mind, inadmissable, subjective impressions?
Mike Logan: Just as long as you don't go out on a limb.
Dr. Elizabeth Olivet: Is it just me, detective, or all women with triple digit IQs?
Mike Logan: Oh, well you're the only one I know, Doc. (edit)

Ben Stone: 'Recent jury studies show women need to separate themselves from the victim. They need to believe it could not happen to them. Therefore, women do not believe the victim.' This cheers me right up.

Stone is referring to the Belief in a Just World phenomenon. This is the tendency to evaluate recipients as fully deserving of the good or bad outcomes that befall them. This arises from the notion that in order to plan our activities and achieve our goals, we need to preserve the belief that the world is orderly and our actions have predictable consequences. The Just World phenomenon was first studied in a series of social psychology experiments by Melvin Lerner in the 1960s. (edit) This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of an actual rape case at St. John's University in Collegeville, Jamaica, New York. Three lacrosse players at St. John's University stood trial for sexual assault against a then 21-year-old student from the Queens campus. Over a year later, on July 23, 1991, all three players were acquitted of the charges, causing an even bigger stir in the community. For legal reasons no one involved in that case could be named.
