Rape case. A girl is raped at a party to which her boyfriend/fiancé who had broken up with her recently had invited her, to have sex with a group of his friends. Their break up was a result of the guy coming to know about the girl's promiscuous sexual history. His interaction with the girl about her coming to the party to have sex with his friends was a joke on the girl's part, however it, coupled with her sexual history makes her case difficult.
Stone makes a good case against the defendants, however the jury acquits them. Stone is disappointed and tells the girl that jury made a mistake and the system failed her. He was sorry.
I personally didn't like this episode for showing that Stone thought the jury gave wrong judgement, and for thinking that the girl was innocent on the first place. A drunk girl is accountable for her actions just as a drunk driver is accountable for his. A promiscuous girl who makes a joke that "she will have sex with guys at the party and the guys would love her dress if they love little girls", and goes to the party where she will get drunk unconscious, is definitely putting herself in harm's way, and is supposed to know that, and be responsible about it - and is at least equally responsible if she gets raped.
Good point: The jury found her guilty.
