I must admit that last night's Law & Order: SVU season premiere was a bit of a tear-jerker. You'll see why at the end of this recap.
Wentworth Miller guest stars on the episode as a hot yet totally bad ass police officer. He has a completely different style as a detective and he buts heads with Benson and Stabler. They work with him on a rape case where the victim is completely hysterical and is only at ease when Wentworth is in the room. While investigating they find that there is a 10 year old case that lead to a conviction that shares similar evidence to this newest rape. So Stabler realizes that he may have been responsible for sending the wrong man to prison for 10 years. After finding more victims and putting together a bunch of pieces, they find the man who has been committing the crimes and he is brought to the police department. While transporting him to a jail cell, he makes a stop at the bathroom and either jumps or is pushed out the window, landing on the cement outside and dying.
A few minutes earlier, Stabler had met with the guy who had been wrongly convicted of the original rape 10 years ago and told him that they found the guy who really did it so he would be released soon. But when the new suspect died, prior to standing trial, his confession could no longer be used as evidence. The man who they know did not commit the crime will have to remain in jail for the rest of his sentence even though he is innocent.
I love SVU for the twists thrown in at the end of episodes. And this week definitely met my expectations. It was a great season premiere and I look forward to many more exciting episodes this season.
