- GoofsThe family court judge says that since hearings began jeopardy has been attached to the case so if she dismisses the charges double jeopardy will prevent Jake O'Hara from being retried for the murder of Henry Morton as an adult in a criminal trial in the Supreme Court. However jeopardy does not attach in a bench trial (a trial where the evidence is heard and the verdict is rendered by a judge instead of a jury) when the court begins to hear evidence after the first witness is sworn in. As the defense and prosecution had just finished making their opening statements and the judge had not yet heard any witness testimony or evidence jeopardy had not yet attached to the case therefore the judge could've dropped the family court charges, without prejudice, allowing Jake to be retried in criminal court as an adult for Henry's murder.

[last lines]
Elliot Stabler: Tell me one thing. When did you decide to kill Jake?
Dr. Brett Morton: In the courtroom, once I knew what he was. You were right. I looked around, saw the officer, realized I could take the gun. I just waited for the right moment.
Elliot Stabler: You manipulated us just like Jake did.
Dr. Brett Morton: There's one big difference. Jake would've killed again. I won't.

Hands down, Best episode ever!
Great performances by all, and wonderful writing. This has been my favorite since it first aired and there hasn't been another Law and Order: SVU to top it since for me.
What the father says at the very end gave me goosebumps.
