Yeah... Well, assuming she ever cared to begin with. A lot of people who kill, kidnap, sell, etc their children have little guilt or remorse. (I'm an SAR medic, have come across that)
There is something disturbingly meta about Cynthia Nixon's incredible performance here, so good that it received an Emmy. Think about it: She put on an award-winning performance as a murderously insane woman who also happens to be delivering an award-winning performance as a distinctly separate, non-murderous-but-equally-insane person, a toddler, and what I can only assume is Baba Yaga, within the same body, sometimes switching instantly and with absolutely no warning. Cynthia Nixon. I love you and I fear you.
They really created the absolute perfect defense in order to get away with killing their parents. & they were pretty close to pulling off their whole charade
I have PTSD and have had dissociative episodes. It is the weirdest thing. Definitely feels like you are in a dream. And feel like you are far away from your body.
@ashleydowney1222 have you ever had any instances where you go "back in time"??? I've been doing ART and it's been helping but I didn't think it would make my ptsd devolve...
@@alessaross3559 Well, I never said that I was an expert. I'm just going by what one of my closest friends told me of what it is like for him because he has DID. Sure I might be ignorant by textbook standards, and for the fact that I won't ever fully understand what it's like because I don't have DID, but I could've for all you knew. And I said "One of the most important", not "the most important". I don't use a textbook to define someone's disability, cause I find it extremely rude, like your comment.
I got misdiagnosed with DID. The common misconception with DID is that it’s mood swings and ups and downs, but it’s actually triggered by trauma and it’s split personalities or multiple personalities. You are literally multiple different people. Often people with BPD are misdiagnosed with DID this woman had DID and that’s an example or it. Hypnosis can bring out any of the “systems” inside of the illness. It was loosely portrayed in the conjuring when the little girl was possessed and a man’s voice would come out of her Edit: I watched the full episode and she didn’t actually have DID she just studied it and actively portrayed it but that aside it’s an accurate portrayal
I remember when that psychotic murder went after Kathy Stabler and held her hostage at knifepoint. Luckily, Elliot managed to save his wife in time before that psychotic women did anything to hurt her.
Her episode in House MD she faked illnesses was deemed munchhausen becaue of all the faking then it turned out she did actually have an illness none she faked but still 😅
I remember this episode. Cynthia Nixon's ability to pretend to have a mental illness was so chilling, and the way she pulls reverse psychology to make you believe that she didn't kill was just >>> My heart stopped beating several times throughout this episode. Kudos to Cynthia Nixon for pulling this one, a brilliantly impressive masterpiece.
i think ppl misunderstood this epi. she wasn’t psychotic. she was getting revenge. you can be a murderer and not psychotic. psychotic is a medical term and she doesn’t fit the criteria.
On one hand, I like to think that Janis turned herself in with her scam to save her sister (or, in any case, the latter could have seen the mitigating circumstance recognized). On the other hand, I'm not too sorry that she got away with it, given the abuse of their father and the negligence of their mother. What do you think about it?
Bro you’re gunna trust the crazy lady about their parents being abusive. Nahhh. Probably a ploy for inheritance money. Or if it’s real then too bad, you lost your “believing privileges” at that point
@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrr she was caught because they were able to confirm what happened from other people in jail. Why would someone makeup a lie and then tell the lie to other people which would be the one thing that poked a hole in their for a false revenge. Not to mention her sister confirms this as well. She already had been cleared of murder so why would she even lie after the fact. People will do mental gymnastics before believing abuse happens 💀
@@kalebr560 Dude I believe that ppl get abused. But in this 10 minute clip no proof was given. And those making the claims were murderers and known liars. Maybe you're too willing to believe instead of me being unwilling?
Very good acting, except for one detail. Someone with DID can't control which alter comes up at a given time. She conveniently switched whenever the detectives were getting close to the truth. Not psychotic, more like sociopath.
FYI those mental health facilities aren't cozy places, they can be very horrific especially if you whernt actually needing any mental health, and most times people who get through on insainity for a crime (if they do) can be sent there longer then the prison sentence would be. As they wouldnt be able to get out until a judge lets them.
I love this episode. Most people with DID, don't. I actually had someone try and convince me that I had DID. In reality, I'm mid-functioning schizophrenic. My aunt DOES have DID. And it looks nothing like this or fakers on RUclips and TikTok. Her alters lock her out of her computer and apartment on a regular basis. And she pukes nearly everytime she "switches"
It can look different for everyone. I have diagnosed did. For me, it did have blanks in my memory, lost time, completely different personalities from my own with their own names. I've never puked with switching, but my family (they are religious, which is where some of the abuse came from) thought I was demon possessed. They put me through so many anointings and laying of hands that to this day I do not like physical touch.
Kinda reminds me of the case of Billy Mulligan. Multiple personality disorder so rare, he's one of the few people in the history of American crime to have been found legally insane after committing several horrific crimes against women.
The ending left me screaming. After all that, you're gonna fold now? You can always say another personality researched D.I.D. I also remember an old cell mate of hers telling the detectives she was faking, but a good lawyer can get that thrown out. It was her basically confessing that sealed her sisters fate.
I could be wrong, but if they could prove she actually wasn't insane and her defense was based on false claims, double jeopardy wouldn't attach and they could retry her. After all, it's kinda hard for "not guilty by reason of insanity" to apply if the person isn't actually insane and never was.
Even if the person perjured themselves in court you can only charge them with the perjury. There is absolutely no circumstance in which a person can get charged for a crime, a not guilty or not guilty by reason of insanity verdict be rendered, and them be recharged by the same branch of government. With state crimes or federal crimes you can be double charged if you broke both a state statute and federal statute, however feds rarely get involved for cases such as this.
@@Cub_K There are a very limited number of ways around Double Jeopardy, but they are extremely hard to access without incredible amounts of proof to back the motion to set it aside. Proving that a verdict was predetermined by jury manipulation is one (McCoy did this in season 5 of OG L&O), or if two/three or more people are involved in some fashion by leveling a conspiracy charge - in cases of murder, conspiracy to commit carries the same sentence, and you don't have to necessarily prove all the parties knew that a murder would be the end result; you just have to prove that all three knew what they were initially doing was a crime, and that they decided to commit the act anyway. If one goes overboard, all are guilty for setting the sequence of events in motion to start with. In this lady's case? Her knowledge of the law allows for the perseption of jury manipulation, which *could* be argued as a reason to set aside the jeopardy statute...but it would be one HELL of a song and dance number by Cabot/McCoy to convince a judge of it.
Wait, I'm confused. Why did she approach the detectives to begin with? If the daughter was okay and she didn't have a personality disorder that made her show up, why bring the attention to her? Did she want to establish she's insane beforehand so there'll be no doubt about her insanity in court for killing her parents? Would've been easier if she did the deed and then acted all insane so the plea will be guilty. I need help, I don't get it.
this is what pisses me off about the law its RARELY there to protect victims and then should victims snap or get their own justice or even DEFEND THEMSELVES THEYRE the ones punished!!!
Not to mention that the arrest of her sister feels like it was retaliatory in nature than actually arresting her for any wrong-doing. They didn't care that the sister probably had nothing to do with anything - Stabler and Benson were more interested in getting back at Janice for getting one over on them than in getting justice.
RIGHT!! “since we cant get you we will get your sister instead” sometimes this show is glorified for been “evolved” but at the end of the day theyre still cops who will react hostile the minute their ego is bruised
So you’re saying that victims who never brings it to light and decides to kill their attackers because the cops (they never told) didn’t arrest them? Again they never told any authorities about it. Just killed their parents and you think they should get a freebie? So now this DERANGED AND MANIPULATIVE woman gets to roam around free with the card that always gets her out of prison? you people are f*cking stupid.
I hâte that they’re si smug about arresting that woman. At the end of the day she didn’t pull the trigger, and even if she had, what she went through was horrific. They could’ve at least had some empathy for her situation and some understand for why she was driven to do what she did. I hate the smug looks.
Wow, this was set in performance, Cynthia Nixon, this whole entire scene of this episode of law and order SVU. If I were to play the same role as Nixon, I wouldn’t slap a police detective I would have cooperated Plus, I wouldn’t do any of that of what she did in the video. I wish I would drop out of College and get into acting already. At least Star in Law and Order SVU. ❤
Clever plan but problem was the end result put her in an even worse situation than just jail all because of her ego and arrogance. Her sister serves the max while she is institutionalized until further notice, because of how many lies she spun due to her mania it’s gonna be hard to prove she’s legally sane and even if she gets out her sister is gone and she’s all alone.
Did you watch the entire video? The woman was faking Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), they recovered deleted files that showed her researching the condition on her computer. This isn't a demonization of mental illness, this is a demonization of people who fake them to get away with crimes.
Agreed. I have DID. I hate this video. It hurts. Like, yes, Alters can be violent. But this sorta situation is very rare. But promoted as if it's the norm, fueled with misinformation. The number of times I've told people I have DID and their first question is "do you have any violent personalities?" I hate it. It hurts. Many don't care about the trauma required to have this, they just wanna know if you're gonna hurt them because that's what the media says. We have a lot of alters that aren't human, that in itself is bad enough for people to throw hate. But I also have an alter who identifies as a demon. She's one of the sweetest people I know. But she gets a lot of hate just for being a demon. It's just really annoying. Stupid. Like, if you're gonna put something in a show, something that already has a bad representation in shows, do it right. Talk to people with the condition, and healthcare professionals and all that. It's hurting people, doing it wrong hurts people. I personally hate the idea of integration. It's not a possibility for our system and the fact that it's often considered the only "cure" by shows and some professionals is harmful. Our system works. We're alive because of our system. Take that away and I have nothing. They are my support system and I help them when I can. We work together to survive. I also hate when child alters are treated as the age the body is. Child alters are children.
They're not demonizing it. They're demonizing the disgusting people that take advantage of people's lack of knowledge about these illnesses, and use it as a shield against the law.
This era of SVU was the pinnacle of this series. The best cast they ever had.
Cynthia Nixon won an Emmy for this performance. Well deserved.
I've haven't watched this show in a while. But I WANT to see this episode. Thanks for sharing this clip.
She was brilliant in this episode!
Eh
Amazing
She deserves another award for being so gorgeous in the first 40 seconds of this clip!
Cynthia proved what an actress in this episode, she really is. This episode blew me away with her multiple personalities. A well deserved Emmy!
3:32 When Janice slapped Elliot and screamed in that Russian accent, lol!!! 😆😅🤣
8:45 SHE'S CRAZY!!!!!!
Janice slapped Elliot and she is crazy.
ADA Paxton did not like Elliot and she drank too much..
She may have gotten away with it, but she'll have to spend the rest of her life with the guilt of what she did to Cass.
💯💯
Most likely will never see April again, such a dark ending!
Yeah, they would've both gotten away with it if they had just simply known that planning the crime still counts as a crime in and of itself.
Yeah... Well, assuming she ever cared to begin with.
A lot of people who kill, kidnap, sell, etc their children have little guilt or remorse.

She was a victim of abuse
She killed that performance! One of the best portrayals of the whole series.
She may have walked on her crimes but in the end her sister is going to prison and she won’t get custody of her niece. Their revenge has consequences.
“We were abused! You have no idea what that’s like!” You can say that again Janis.

There is no alter each individual personality is still them. You cannot ever prove if there was a first.
lmao they spelled Cynthia “Synthia” for the title of the video 😂😂😂
8:48-8:50
Yeesh, what a maniac lol.
😂They couldn’t let her win had to punish her by locking her sister up 😮😂
Haven’t seen Bronson Pinchot since Perfect Strangers!
She knew what she was doing.
the parents had it coming though
@@cadespencer6320 True.
She played the hell out this role 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Clever plan but problem was the end result put her in an even worse situation than just jail all because of her ego and arrogance. Her sister serves the max while she is institutionalized until further notice, because of how many lies she spun due to her mania it’s gonna be hard to prove she’s legally sane and even if she gets out her sister is gone and she’s all alone.
And her niece is alone.
If I had a nickel for every time a crime show (or hell, even just L&O) demonized a mental illness or disability...
Did you watch the entire video? The woman was faking Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), they recovered deleted files that showed her researching the condition on her computer.
This isn't a demonization of mental illness, this is a demonization of people who fake them to get away with crimes.
and rightfully so because it is actually more accurate than most believe it to be
@@cadespencer6320 lol no its not. being mentally ill makes you make likely to be the victim of violence not the perpetrator.
Agreed. I have DID. I hate this video. It hurts. Like, yes, Alters can be violent. But this sorta situation is very rare. But promoted as if it's the norm, fueled with misinformation. The number of times I've told people I have DID and their first question is "do you have any violent personalities?" I hate it. It hurts. Many don't care about the trauma required to have this, they just wanna know if you're gonna hurt them because that's what the media says. We have a lot of alters that aren't human, that in itself is bad enough for people to throw hate. But I also have an alter who identifies as a demon. She's one of the sweetest people I know. But she gets a lot of hate just for being a demon. It's just really annoying. Stupid. Like, if you're gonna put something in a show, something that already has a bad representation in shows, do it right. Talk to people with the condition, and healthcare professionals and all that. It's hurting people, doing it wrong hurts people. I personally hate the idea of integration. It's not a possibility for our system and the fact that it's often considered the only "cure" by shows and some professionals is harmful. Our system works. We're alive because of our system. Take that away and I have nothing. They are my support system and I help them when I can. We work together to survive. I also hate when child alters are treated as the age the body is. Child alters are children.
They're not demonizing it. They're demonizing the disgusting people that take advantage of people's lack of knowledge about these illnesses, and use it as a shield against the law.
That fake baby in the tub was the fakest fake baby I've ever seen lol.
This episode show why people refuse to believe in DID
Not the title spelling Cynthia Nixon’s name as SYNthia omg
