3:19 I can’t even imagine how traumatic that would be. And that’s not me saying that it wouldn’t be traumatic for any woman, but hearing that just made it worse. Especially when you can see an injury peek out from her hijab.

[meshadoesstuff]

Leslie Odom Jr in the first three seconds? 😭

[jaw]

This was based off a real case. The news covered it and then only
Later they discovered she lied in the real life case

[mayajarn]

I just find it so funny when someone says go back to where you came from
Cause those who said arent even from that place either

[chanelgriffith]

I cant believe this girl is Margo from The Magicians! So different I almost didn't recognize her

It wasn’t a hate crime. She lied about when, where, & who it was, because it was her brother’s boss & his subordinate. The reporter keeps dragging her through the mud until the trial tickles his conscience. He releases a third piece w/ what happened. The jury sees it, resulting in a mistrial. They manage to swing a deal where the boss throws his subordinate under the bus, & he gets off w/ sexual misconduct. (The underling gets 5-15 years. The boss, who was the mastermind behind everything, maybe gets 1 year.) Why a deal? To prevent a retrial the boss paid off the girl’s family. To the parents, their daughter had lost her honor & that was that. Exact number wasn’t given, but it was enough for her brother to go back to school for his Masters (MBA specifically).

It's so weird hearing Alec Baldwin with a noticeable accent...

[JT-wuxv]

Makes me angry she lost her honor in her parents's eyes. They'll add to her trauma.

"New York is supposed to be better than New Delhi" in regards to Islamophobia and related hate crimes? I am curious as to what evidence she had to support that claim.

Not suggesting the statement is true or false, moreso, that is a very specific claim to make and I can't imagine a basis for researching that with a sufficient sample size of participants and testimonies.

It would have been more plausible had she said "America" instead of New York. Also, New Delhi has a sizeable Muslim population and although violence and assaults do occur, crimes that are based in bigotry, especially sexual assault, are not commonplace.

Reverend was trying to obstruct justice

I thought Jimmy Mack was
a song by Martha & The Vandellas.

[DiamondSmith-kv]

nick pissed me off in this episode so bad

[trusha_tungare]

idk what year this came out but as an Indian, this is a very messy representation of indian culture. The house, the curtains (they made the curtains from traditional maharastrian saari. no one does that, it's laughable), the accent. nothing makes sense. I would have never guess them to be Indian...this is just weird...

[maclanekeller]

I'm not going anywhere until you tell me the truth.

[JulietMelvin-qj]

She's going to hav to live with that😢

[marialuisaperezvalles]

Este episodio fue muy bueno y el primero que dirigió mariska ❤

[jdrancho]

If that had happened in a strict Muslim country, she would have had to produce multiple male witnesses to make the charge stick. If not, and with evidence of sexual activity, she would be stoned for committing adultry.

The episode explores the complexities of the case and the challenges of investigating when undercover.
he case is proven to be genuine, highlighting the need for credible investigation and justice for the victim.

[TheOriginalsadistyx]

Given the context of the clip there is no hate crime. For whatever reason she would risk making that claim over the truth. So the big question is what is worse than making a false claim?

[evadd]

How did the attackers know she was from India?
