A/N: In all my stories, my court scenes really suck, as does this one


Casey, Elliot, Olivia, Kathy, and Kathleen, walked into the courtroom, the next day ready to testify and put Christian Jenkins away for life.

The Judge banged her gavel and court was in session, Casey got up and started with the opening lines. "Today your going to hear testimony incriminating the defendant Christian Jenkins, in the rape and assault of Kathleen Stabler, and the attempted murder of Detective Olivia Benson. Mr. Jenkins is responsible for these crimes and I hope you see that and send him where he belongs." Casey stood for a second to get her message sunk into the minds of the jury. Then sat down allowing the trial to continue.

"Prosecution calls, Kathleen Stabler." Casey announced loudly. Olivia and Elliot turned slightly to see Kathleen leave the seat behind them. Elliot nodded to her and Kathleen sat down in the witness booth.

"Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God?" The officer asked brutely.

She nodded, "Yes"

Casey began her examination, "Hi, Kathleen, can you tell what happened the day you were raped in the subway?"

"Uhm…I was on my way to the city, for a party, with my boyfriend, Jake, he was going to meet me there. I got out at the station and I walked out, he grabbed me from behind, I screamed no, and he told me to shut up, and that he would be the best sex I would ever have…" she choked, and coughed, "…he ripped my pants off and…raped me, on the subway platform."

Casey nodded, "How did Detective Benson come onto your case?"

"I was in Manhattan, and she works Special Victims in that unit. I knew her and her partner, my father, would be on the case, I told the doctor that when they came in, I only wanted to talk to a female detective, I knew she would help me."

"Why did you tell Detective Benson, to keep your name from her partner, also your father?"

"I only wanted a limited number of people to know about my case, up until yesterday, only Detective Benson, and her CO Captain Cragen knew of my attack."

"No further questions your honor." Casey went and sat down as the defense got up.

"You said the defendant raped you?"

"Yes"

"How do you know? He was reported, by you, to have a ski mask on, during your attack?"

"The voice line-up, was accurate, I could never forget his voice." Kathleen shifted in her seat.

"The voice line-up, nothing further." The defense Langan sat down.

"Prosecution calls, Detective Olivia Benson." Olivia stood attaching her badge to her jacket and walking up to the seat.

"Do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God."

"Yes."

"Detective Benson, when Kathleen came to you with her dilemma what did she say?"

"She told me about the rape and gave me a detailed description of the rape, and assault in the subway. She then asked me not to tell her parents, or the station her name, and I told her I wouldn't. I told her that the safety of the victim comes first."

"What happened next?" Casey urged on.

"I called Captain Cragen and asked him if I could work this alone, he agreed, and I went back to the station. He is my CO, so I told him the details, not once revealing her name. He asked questions, and guessed that it was Kathleen. After that he became the help on the case."

"When did you discover that it was the defendant who raped Kathleen?"

"The day after Kathleen told me, I received the tapes from the subway station, and watched all day that day and the next day. After the tape revealed a man pulling down a ski mask and then chasing after Kathleen, I took it to tech services and they blew it up, and the photo revealed a clear image of the defendant, the ran checks and pulled his file, revealing that he had rap sheet, and was in fact in Detective Stabler's unit, in the military."

"Is this that picture, tech services, provided?"

"Yes"

"Upon revealing that the defendant did in fact rape and assault Kathleen Stabler, what did you do?"

"I informed Captain Cragen and we left to go find him, we did, at his apartment. The arrest warrant was in his pocket, so we busted in, and I went into the last room, where Mr. Jenkins than shot me. Captain Cragen subdued the man, and cuffed him before calling for back-up."

"Thank you, Detective."

Langan got up, and walked toward Olivia, "Detective, did you reveal yourself before busting in to arrest my client?"

"Yes, we called ourselves NYPD twice, we heard a clatter and thought he was leaving through the fire escape."

"Thank you" Langan sat down, and folded his hands across his chest.
