A brief recap of Law and Order season 24 episode 17
In Law and Order Season 24, episode 17, the police investigate the murder of teenager Emily Chapman. Detectives Shaw and Riley uncover a web of school drama, suspicious adults, and a volatile home life. Initial suspects include a jealous classmate and an overly involved coach, but the case takes a dark turn when Emily’s mother, Melinda, is revealed as the killer.
Suffering from untreated postpartum psychosis, Melinda believed Emily was a threat to her infant and pushed her off the highline. The DA’s office uncovers that Melinda’s husband, Derek, ignored medical advice and refused treatment for her condition, believing she would “snap out of it.”
Though Melinda is tried because of insanity, the prosecution tries to hold Derek accountable. They fail, as the key witness, Emily's younger sister, Amanda, is not in a mental space to testify against her father after losing her sister and mother. Nolan pushes for a statement but backs out when he realizes how it will affect Amanda. Derek was acquitted, leaving the audience struggling with the outcome of a preventable tragedy.
