Jack stood in the courtroom with his lawyer, Trevor Langan, at arraignment.
"Jack Pappas vs. the state of New York. Three accounts of rape in the first degree."
"And how do you plead?" Judge Donnelly asked.
"Not guilty for reason of mental defect." Trevor said.
"And why?" Alex asked.
"My client was not thinking straight. He was tired o Mr. Underwood getting away with everything and wanted revenge. Normally he is a nice guy." Trevor said.
"Defense what do you say?" Donnelly asked.
"$250,000." Alex asked.
"Your honor, my client is not a flight risk. He is a college student, his parents live in Arizona." Trevor said.
"Doesn't mean his parents can't come into town and pay his bail." Alex said.
"Bail is set at $250,000." Donnelly announced.
SVU
After arraignment, Alex walked up to Grace, Adrian, and Amy.
"I've known Jack for a long time. He was not crazy. He planned this." Grace said.
"Defense attorneys always try and use tricks like this. But I want to ask you three, will you all be able to testify at trial?" Alex asked.
"Yes." Adrian and Amy said right away.
"Grace?" Alex asked.
"I have to think about it." Grace said.
"Why? He raped us Grace." Adrian said.
"I know, but he can be a good guy." Grace said.
"Grace, you've been the most vocal about all of this. He attacked us and tried to blame Ricky!" Amy said.
"I know." Grace said.
Alex could tell something was wrong. "Grace, did someone talk to you?"
"Well, after the three of us saw Jack, I stayed behind and talked to him. He told me that I better not say anything bad about him." Grace said.
"Grace, you won't get hurt. We can have some escort you to the trial." Alex asked.
"Well, as long as I'm safe. I'll do it." Grace said.
SVU
Alex had called Elliot, Olivia, and Huang to testify. Elliot and Olivia talked about how Jack acted before when he blamed Ricky. Huang was telling that Jack had planned this.
"How can you tell that Jack planned this?" Alex asked.
"He thought out what the police would think. He was thinking clearly on what he was doing." Huang said.
"Thank you Dr. Huang." Alex said.
Trevor stood up. "Dr. Huang, do you think people behave differently when they want revenge?"
"Yes" Huang said.
"So don't think my client falls into this?" Trevor asked.
"Not exactly. I can tell that he planned this by how he tried to get the detectives to arrest Ricky." Huang said.
"But part of this you can blame on revenge?" Trevor asked.
"Yes." Huang said.
"Nothing further." Trevor said.
Huang stepped down. Adrian then came on the stand.
"Adrian, can you point to who attacked you?" Alex asked.
"There, Jack Pappas." Adrian said pointing at Jack.
"Can you please tell the court what he did to you?" Alex asked.
"Yes. He raped me. He beat me so I wouldn't move. It was horrible." Adrian said starting to tear up.
"Did Mr. Pappas seem to be thinking clearly?" Alex asked.
"Oh yes. I could tell he planned this. He knew where I would be then he wore a mask and disguised his voice so I wouldn't know who he was. He was thinking clearly when he attacked me." Adrian said.
"Thank you Adrian, no further questions." Alex said.
Trevor stood up. "My client told me you've been know to sleep around."
"That was the past. I really don't do that anymore." Adrian said.
"But you've have, right?" Trevor asked.
"Yes." Adrian said.
"So how can I be sure that what happened that night was really an attack or that you wanted it?" Trevor asked.
"I know the difference between rape and if I wanted it. He raped me." Adrian said.
"Nothing further." Trevor said.
Next was Amy. When Alex questioned her, she told about what happened.
"Thank you Amy." Alex said.
Trevor stood up.
"How do I know that you're just protecting Mr. Underwood?" Trevor asked.
"Because Ricky would never rape anyone. He has a son! Do you think he would want his son to have a father in jail?" Amy asked.
"I see. No further questions." Trevor said.
Next was Grace. When Alex questioned her, it was the same as Amy and Adrian in which she said what happened to her.
"You've known Mr. Pappas for awhile." Alex said.
"Yes, and I never thought he would do this. But he was thinking clearly. Jack always thinks clearly, more then anyone else I know. Sure he might have wanted revenge against Ricky, but don't say he wasn't thinking clearly because he was thinking clearly." Grace said.
"Grace! Why would do this? I love you and thought you loved me!" Jack yelled.
"Mr. Langan, control your client." Donnelly said.
"Jack, I did love you at one point. Not anymore. And I did consider you my friend, but not anymore. Since you raped Adrian, Amy, and myself, you are no longer my friend." Grace told him.
"Can I be done?" Grace asked Donnelly.
"Yes, you may step down." Donnelly said.
Grace stepped down and went back to her seat between Olivia and Adrian. She had tears in her eyes. She hugged Olivia since she had been the closest person to having her mom here.
It was then time for the jury to decide. Jack was led away. Grace was still hugging Olivia. When she finally let go, she said.
"I don't want to go back to my dorm."
"You can stay with me." Adrian said.
"I don't want to go back to campus. Can I stay with you and Elliot? I feel safe around you two." Grace told Olivia said.
So Grace went back to the precinct with Olivia and Elliot. Olivia showed Grace to the cribs.
"Here's some clothes you can wear until we have to go back to court." Olivia said giving Grace NYPD sweats and a NYPD t-shirt.
"Thanks Olivia." Grace smiled.
