Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Gaijin" (the episode's title) means "outsider" or "alien" in Japanese. It is a term, often used in a negative or pejorative context, for foreigners and non-Japanese. While some people maintain that it is a neutral term without any negative implications others prefer to use the term "Gaikokujin" (translates to "foreign-country person") as a formal neutral term for non-Japanese persons.
- GoofsThe trial judge's name changes throughout the episode. When we first meet him, the caption identifies him as "Harrison Taylor". Later, we see that the name on his office door is "Thomas Sommers". In the final scenes, as the verdict is being read, the name plate on his bench reads "Thomas Everton".
- Quotes
Arthur Branch: I guess you won't be joining us for the bar association gala tonight.
Jack McCoy: I'm hoping for a verdict.
Arthur Branch: You said that two days ago.
Jack McCoy: Olson called. They're willing to plead to murder two.
Arthur Branch: Yeah, well, tell him he's got a better chance of catching a bat in a fly trap.
Jack McCoy: We might have a hung jury, Arthur.
Arthur Branch: The man made a cynical and heartless decision to murder his wife for money. And the fact that he tried to exploit racial divisions makes it even more heinous.
Jack McCoy: I agree.
Arthur Branch: I have faith in this jury. And the good sense of New Yorkers.
An episode in which we see how sometimes Justice System could take advantage of press to reach the target. A dispute against Japanese consulate emerged, but thanks to reporters there were no need of extradition.
