Why the hell would any officer in that courtroom allow the defendant to get out of his seat, and walk up to the witness stand to assault the witness in the middle of a court proceeding? That’s absolutely inappropriate and unheard of.

[nancyvillines]

That's probably the first time I've seen someone on trial get that close to the witness. Even took his time. WTH were the bailiffs? 😂

[MarcKnight]

The accused (while man-handling the victim): JUST TELL THEM YOU LOVE ME!

Bailiff: I gotta lunch.

[CharlesSmith]

I hate how the detectives swear they’re right when they’re wrong

[loveanddreambig]

The fact that both Mariska and Chris both tilt their heads at the same time…they really are very in sync with each other! @2:53 😆

Imagine not having Baliffs within reaching distance of a CONFIRMED PREDATOR and SUSPECT OF A VIOLENT ATTACK in a trial and letting him walk all the way up to the victim of said attack without him getting tackled immediately.

[naahfam]

I like how the bailiff took six months to step in.

[stephaniegerstner]

I feel bad for the therapist. I do see where her patient's mother is coming from, but it doesn't give her the excuse of attacking her and charging her. Especially since she just wanted to help, but was using the wrong method.

Edit: If I were in her situation, I would transfer him to a male therapist as well.

Elliot doing that run/waddle at the end KILLED me🤣. That, plus the way the lawyer got out the way made me lose it.

[peacheskong]

How was he able to touch her like that in court???

[WarGrowlmon]

I remember this case. Honestly, I feel bad for BOTH of them. Yeah, he did wrong to her, but he was severely abused himself. NOT by her, but he was. Her methods were not so great, and it got her assaulted by his "sister" Christina, but she was genuinely trying to help him. Even Gloria later realized that she had gone about it the wrong way. Robert was severely abused as a child by his "mother" Victoria who was fanatically religious and tortured Robert for being born out of wedlock. Victoria went so far as to nearly castrate him at one point. She died in a house fire when Robert was young which caused him to go into fugue states. The cops thought that he was the killer, but Dr. Huang got the truth out of him eventually: it was actually Christina who set the fire and killed Victoria. As it turns out, Victoria wasn't Robert's mother, Christina actually was. She had him when she was 14 after getting pregnant by a boy that she had slept with at a party. Victoria had tortured Robert to make both him and Christina pay for that. Christina never told Robert that she was actually his mother, she had always just pretended to be his older sister.

Woah, bailiff, hello? Get in there! That witness STROLLED up to the witness stand.

[foolslayer]

It is one thing to treat a dangerous patient, it's one thing to enable them by protecting them.

[jpch]

For all you 90s kids, the therapist is the same actress who played the Borg Queen in Star Trek Voyager! Very talented and underrated actress.

[JRJuggernaut]

This episode is freaking wild! It took me two watches to properly process what I watched. The less you know going into it the better!

[ameliaflynnhayes]

I feel bad for her she was hurt by her own patient.

[ambrabridges]

Court security must've been taking a nap to let the defendant actually grab the victim as she's testifying.

[thisisashya]

I’m sorry it was actually pretty funny how close he got I didn’t expect him to be able to get that close omg

[rhondah.]

I actually watched this episode again just last week and I like how no one made a move to stop him until after he'd already gotten to the witness box and had actual hands on the therapist. If he'd had a weapon she would have been done.

[nicholasmaude]

I just realised that the defendant, Jon Abrahams (Who looked familiar), played Bobby on Scary Movie.
