Olivia in Dresses

Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit — 1.07: Uncivilized.

‘’There are no perfect witnesses, they leave out part of the story, they can’t remember. they feel guilty, change their minds. they blame themselves. they think it’s their fault. but that’s why we’re here. to fight for them. and the less perfect they are, the harder we fight. Nobody asks a robbery or a homicide victim if she wanted it. Nobody says, “hey, why was she walking down the dark alley? why was she wearing the dark skirt? nobody implies that the crime was somehow her fault. you have the victim’s word. we go to trial so the victim the survivor can look her abuser in the eye and tell the world her truth. we go to trial so she can be heard. the truth, that’s what heals.’’
