LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT’s ADA Carisi (Peter Scanavino) has faced a lot of tough cases over the past few seasons, but he runs into one of his biggest challenges in the L&O crossover event, as he is tasked with trying to convict ORGANIZED CRIME’s Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott)—who manged to evade all of the other criminal charges against him, in exchange for cooperating with authorities—for Kathy Stabler’s murder.
“What are you gonna do?” Scanavino laments. “I think Carisi, in this case, realizes it’s a bit of an uphill [battle]. He knows what has happened, what has occurred. But in terms of the evidence that he has, I think he knows it’s kind of sparse, so he’s got to really try to steer the case towards the prosecution as best as he can.”
