The SVU episode with the adult woman pretending to be a teen girl in foster care was based on what happened at my high school. The guy she dated was the younger brother of my assistant band director, who was a senior at my high school when I was a freshman.
The Candace Newmaker case is just upsetting. The first petscop video MatPat did talks about it. The lines that witness said were almost word for word what the actual therapist said.
That's how I regonized the description here that case made me almost sick hearing about it. The Petscop creator said he regretted putting it in and dropped references later in the series
I just looked it up. It’s unbelievable!! How these idiots even thought that this “rebirthing” nonsense would be effective is beyond me but that they didn’t stop when a child was saying she couldn’t breathe is infuriating. May this baby Rest in Eternal Peace.
@@ascent8487my friend went to elementary school with her in North Carolina; I learned of her case via the memorial they had for her in the old yearbook 💔
Understand that its not normal but some ppl it works i did it when i was in foster care it wasnt bad for me byt for others its dangerous they should listen to the child in the case when she said she couldnt breathe
The Joyce Gilchrist case is... disgusting. 23 people sentenced to death, 12 executed, on blatantly falsified evidence. She should have been sent to death row for killing innocent people. If she was like the L&O equivalent, she'd probably have argued 'I didn't put the needle in their arm'.
I would've liked to have seen her sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, she died in Texas, 2015 at the age of 67 (Cause is not listed but probably cancer), she should've died in prison for what she did. You'd think after all of her fabricated testimony was exposed especially in light of it resulting 12 people being murdered by Oklahoma that the state would've suspended if not outlawed the DP.
@@alexdurain3753 Nope. She was fired from her job after a lawsuit brought her misconduct to light, but relocated and worked in the private sector for a candle company to her dying day. No idea how her work at that place went.
Could y’all make another one of these? This is so cool, and one that comes to mind that is based on a true story is the episode of the mom/aunt driving the wrong way, based on the case of Diane Schuler
episode 1, season 7. Name of the episode is, causa mortis was based on the story of Kathleen Weinstein. Season 2 episode 10, heaven. based on the 1990 Happy Land Social Club Fire caused by Cuban refugee Julio Gonzalez. he was trying to kill his girlfriend so he poured a gallon of gasoline at the only exit of the club. in the process he killed 87 people. his girlfriend was one of the few people who managed to escape season 1 episode 9 called indifference that was based on the death of Lisa Steinberg Thrill (episode 1 season 8) mentioned in this video. I lived close to where this happened. after the shooting many pizza places in my area stopped home delivery so your only 2 options was pick up or eating at the restaurants.
They did that episode in season Season 20 with Jeremy Sisto and Anthony Anderson as detectives Cyrus Lupo and Kevin Bernard. The opening always gives me chills, as the mother starts acting crazy in the minivan. Then you see two guys starting to cross the street and the minivan nearly hits them as it passes in the wrong lane and you can hear the kids screaming inside. Then it keeps going DOWN the off ramp the wrong way into the highway and you just KNOW what's going to happen!!! Also Rich Sommer gives an excellent performance as the guy who caused the whole mess !!!
I had saw a episode of SVU, about a set of twins. Two boys were born and the doctor had mess up one of baby's little male area. So the parents had rise the little baby boy as a girl. The true story was in fact true and sick too. David Reimer, the parents were good people. It was the doctor later that was treating him that was sick. His story was truly heartbreaking and I hope he at peace. RIP Mr. Reimer 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
That episode is one that stood out to me when I first saw it. And it's still one of my top 10 Law & Order episodes from the series (original, SVU, OC, & CI) of all time.
The "John Money" incident. Sadly, people still use that case to argue any doctor that treats transgender patients is as sick and twisted as Money. Not only did he mutilate that child and ruin the twins' and their parents' lives, but his legacy is still ruining the lives of people from beyond the grave.
Candace Newmaker's case happened in my state. I watched the trial coverages on tv as a kid. I remember thinking that it was just a tv show I was watching, because the way they described everything that happened was too horrible to be real life. I remember watching Matpat's game theory on Petscop in my teenage years and realizing it wasn't a fantastical tale. It was real. So shockingly real.
12:00 Van buren will always be my favorite DA. Even when she’s not cracking quips and doing clever retorts her body language just says it all. That tiny head shake is filled with Disgust and anger.
13:13 "Why? Am I under arrest?" "No! *scoffs* No. Why? You expect to be arrested?" *jumpcut to later in the episode* "Mister Lumez the charge against you..."
The finger print clip reminds sme of the dental examiner who compared dental records and molds improperly to a case with numerous victims. He completely diaregarded the training in how to propwrly analyze the information.
There are a number of other L&O episodes based on real life cases and I can think of two from S1 - "Indifference" and "The Serpents Tooth", the episode based on the real-life Lisa Steinburg case (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Steinberg#Death_of_Lisa_Steinberg) and the second on the Menendez brothers ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyle_and_Erik_Menéndez ). "Indifference" had a sequel - L&O 15x11 "Fixed" after real life killer Joel Steinberg was paroled in 2004.

SVU's 'Raw' could be based on the 1989 Stockton schoolyard shooting, where a racist man seemingly targeted children of Asian descent. While that shooting was never offically classed as racially motivated, it's difficult to believe it wasn't because the shooter was known to be racist against Asians and possessed racist literature. Revolutionary Aryan Warriors (RAW) could be based on Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance; the son having his own version of RAW's website could be based on Don and Derek Black. RAW's website also featured a game that could be based on 'Ethnic Cleansing' a game where players dressed as a Klansman or a Nazi to kill minorities. RaHoWa is also mentioned, which means 'Racial Holy War', a term popularised by the Creativty Movement (World Church of the Creator).
First one: They really listened to someone explain precisely the steps to smother someone... and just went along with it. Wtf. Stupidity like that should have consequences, but on the stupid person, not others.
They can't be based on true stories. You say they're not based on true stories! Every single episode has a disclaimer stating that 'any similarity to real people or events is purely coincidental' to protect the makers of the show from being sued or having to pay.
Wait, is this an official RUclips channel of LAO? if it does can they say its based on true stories? because that would be admitting it and open them for lawsuits.
@@Hail2daChief I think you misunderstood. every episode has disclaimers saying this episode might look like based on true life event and person but its not. they do that so they can avoid paying people and open for lawsuits.

Law and Order episodes were always ripped from the headlines. A lot of them were based on real cases in NYC or other major cities
Exactly! That's how it was originally advertised, as a "ripped from the headlines" show.
So basically what the title says. Well done for repeating that.
Yes, they even did an episode based on a case that took place up here in Canada, back in the late 80s/early 90s too.
Duh 😮
also based on urban myths or films. But crime based

If you grew up in NYC you knew about most of these cases. Well, if you paid attention to the news.
I know everyone and their mother shows up as an actor in Law and Order, but i never imagined Mac from It's Sunny would be here
That newmaker case disgusted me so much
That’s really interesting I never knew some of the cases were based on true stories
That is why it's one of the longest running dramas on television.

All murder cases are a disgrace.

It's Always Sunny on Law and Order.🤔😆😆😆

Yeah that case was horrifying. Poor baby.
The one that they based on Elliott Rodgers was great , the actor did the his videos just like him creepy yet fantastic

From a one-time appearance on Law & Order to co-owner of a Welsh football club.

It’s Cynthia Nixon, but you could have looked it up yourself.

That 4th one is real odd.
