Lewis cross examines the detectives, and he shakes her confidence, with her looking at the detectives with hate. Sergeant Olivia Benson takes the stand and testifies about Lewis kidnapping and torturing her, but Freed still believes that Lewis is innocent. Viva Nuñez, a women kidnapped by Lewis, including her daughter, also talks on the stand and Lewis uses her as a defense to talk about how Benson told her and her kid to leave the house, which happens to be a problem as they had illegal citizenships. Lewis also brings in the doctor that healed him and she states that the injury he endured when Benson beat him with a pipe that almost killed him was excessive, he lastly calls for a recess.
