can we just give barba his own spin off...the world needs his spicy sass and unapologetic wit
Wow
The world would not be entirely ready
Yes! I love his character!
Raúl Esparza broadway clips are even better than his role on svu. There’s a few here, on CZcams. He’s an amazing talent.
Barba's stone face after requesting permission to treat the witness as hostile sells the point that he is cold and damn good at his job. You gotta love his character.
This is so stupid why would you rape and kill the innocent girl
@@dorandesir8309 to punish the mother. anyone would be pretty resentful after 16 years of hell
@UThink UCan the jurors are anonymous. only 3-4 person would be identifyable in the process (judge, prosecutor, maybe witnesses) i never said it was logical but in his mind if she didn't make the false accusation to begin with, none of it would have happened.
Barba is the best ADA ever
Lord Drakkon 7367 novak says hi
OG Cabot says what’s good?
Agreed better than the lady on the first few seasons
I never thought anyone would be better than Cabot, but then along came Barba!!! ♥️♥️
I loved Stone.
Raul Esparza does such an amazing job in this scene! I love him! He's an amazing actor. Rafael Barba is my favorite character and Raul Esparza is the reason I started watching this show
Sniz 77 me too
Sniz 77 he would've been an awesome attorney
Sniz 77 Um is it bad I think Raul Esparza is not only a good actor but also really sexy just saying
I agree that he look so hot in a 3 piece suit. However, I like it better, when he has a solid shirt and a patterned tie, or a patterned shirt and a solid shirt . A patterned shirt and a patterned tie together yuck.
I wore floral patterns together before.
Barba: “Permission to treat the witness as hostile your honor?”
Me: 👀👀
😂😂😂 YES
Rafael Barba Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak are the ADA Holy Trinity of SVU change my mind
truth!
Yep
Can't. Facts!
agreed.
we shall see if Carisi can stick around long enough to make it a quadrilogy...
@@McD5791 god I hope so
It was brutal, but that's Barba's way to get justice.
Barba and cabot will forever be my favorite ADA'S barba more 😂💯
I agree!
I always hated that defense attorney more than any of the others for some reason lol.
Rob Maddox same but if I ever needed a lawyer I wouldn’t mind having him on my team 😂😂😂
@@darkwriter_xx94 Ha same!
That man pisses me off. But damn he's a worthy defense attorney. He was able to get 2 boys a not guilty verdict in a rape case with a college student/adult star.
Curly Talks
I hated that episode so goddamn much. The ending was so painful, where she just allows herself to fall further into this world that’s only comforting to her because of a semblance of control. Not that I’m judging anyone in that industry, work is work as they say, but she wanted more, and gave up on trying to have it because she felt defeated. Any person, lawyer or not who can cause that and feel good about it is a monster. This lawyer, IS a monster.
@@evilclown019 couldn't have said it better myself. The character is a demon but we have to give props to the actor for making us feel these raw emotions.
Barba is so emotional yet so political and that's what makes him the best ADA eva
Oh yeah!!!!
He so emotional 😢😮 then why did he blame 😠😭 her on the stand insinuating it's her fault when it's actually not in reality even though she thinks it is 😡 if Benson did what barba just did y'all all would be giving her a rip a run for her money tbh on why did she do that blah blah blah 😤 which I know she would never just saying!!!
@@alexandraanderson3988 I think I understand what you're writing, but even if Benson would never, Barba most definitely would call her out to get her to realize the truth. He's been the same since day one, unapologetically. That's why no one bats an eye, and understand the necessity of it.
God, Barba gets so intimate with the emotions of all of the people on the stand. Its fascinating to watch him get her to accept the truth. His court scenes always get so intense, and I love it!
sad barba isn’t on the show anymore
Raul if you here this comment please get back on the show .😥😓
philip winchester
@@amilcarhernandez8189 He is gone too.
dama de copas :(
Yeah but he trained Carisi well. I think Carisi is gonna be top 3. McCoy, Barba, Carisi
That cross was BRUTAL. And incredibly well crafted.
I've seen this episode countless times, and I've wondered what would've happened had she *refused* to answer Rafael Barba's questions after he had declared her as "hostile".
Contempt of court probably
It's really hard for me to feel compassion for her since she sent an innocent man to prison for 16 years where he was raped and beaten repeatedly!
@@genevievemarie9427 she didn't know he was innocent. She really thought he had raped her. So it's not as if she had any malice or ill intent in her heart when she accused him. That makes all the difference.
Do you know what episode this is?
Yes, I did.
Barba is UNMATCHED! Best SVU ADA ever!
I swear. I had waited all season for barba to show up
Barba should get his own show
Id never miss an episode
Three words: Bring Back Barba!!!!
BEST ADA EVERRRR
savagelyloved 💯💯💯
savagelyloved nooo Alex Cabot all the freaking way
casey novak says hi
sky peters she’s 2nd
Alex Cabot would like to know your location
Barba is so hot
evekurocieru yes! Thank god someone agrees with me!
HARD SMASH !!
and dont forget his deeepppp voice
Omg I’ve had a crush on him since I was like 10
IKR IM IN LOVE
Raul Esparza was brilliant as Barba.
Very handsome, great actor and have you heard him sing???
The show just wasn't the same when he left.
Barba is my fave character on sci. He's great at his role. No other actor can match his skill or dynamic
Henry Thomas is the actor who plays Sean Roberts in this scene. Many years ago, he was the child actor who played Elliott in the movie "E.T.".
Barba is the absolute best!
doesn't that speak way louder of our prison system than what the women did. for god sake we know if your not an animal going in your gonna be one coming out.
W
Yesss preach
That's exactly what I told the parole board hearing for my best friend's killer 🤬😢
Not really. We try to send the worst to prison, but sometimes we're wrong. Law is not perfect because humans are not perfect. But you can't throw out the entire system because mistakes happen. We try to mend it; we are meant to do all we can to stop innocent people from being sent there. As for prisons, unless you're going to chain them all to a wall, the scum we send to prisons will continue to be scum. They'll bleed that onto one another, and that's their punishment. There are many that are sent there and try to rehabilitate themselves, and that is the ideal. But it is not the whole reality.
*you're
The woman on the stand also played an unsub (unknown subject aka a suspect) on the show Criminal Minds. She was a spree killer who basically just couldn’t take the grief of the death of her son anymore and went on a killing spree and wanted to go after her now ex husband. There’s more to it but I suggest y’all watch the episode if you haven’t (watch the whole series in fact, it’s my favorite along with SVU) because the actress does SUCH a great job as portraying someone who is just completely empty and dead inside. There was nothing there behind her eyes. So eerie. This is from season 6, episode 20 of Criminal Minds and the ep is titled “Hanley Waters.”
The ep is also sad because the side storyline involves the profiler team trying to grieve over losing someone. If you’ve seen the show and remember season 6, y’all will know what I’m referring to.
I instantly recognized her when I watched this episode of SVU.
*And of course I also recognized the legendary Henry Thomas in this ep as well, one of the best!
yes! i know which episode you're talking about. she and her son get into a car accident, the boy kept asking for his dad because he was a firefighter or EMT and could've saved him. then on the son's birthday, she goes on spree that was triggered by the birthday and seeing kids around. I noticed that the first person she shot was the mall cop, and I'm thinking she probably shot him out of resentment because on the day of the accident, first responders and the police weren't listening to her to take care of her son first.
I knew I recognised her from somewhere!!
She was first widely known from The Practice.
Such a good actress. I remember her from Lie to Me.
She also played a lawyer in The Practice. You should check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.
he is my favorite ada. raúl brought something special to this character.
Alex, Barba and Stone are all very good prosecutors! They filled their roles very well! I miss Alex and Barba, but Stone is doing a good job! I applaud all of them!
Casey 😢😮 don't forget Casey her too
I think it is safe to say every character on "Law & Order: SVU" has earned the title "Badass!"
Badass Benson, Badass Barba, Badass Finn, Badass Stabler, etc.
I love Barba
OMG HOW I LOVE HIM!! ♥ he's amazing, loved this scene
Barba should be the DA and not the ADA
I'm a ADA like barba,I actually saw them filming while Olivia and barba were outside the courthouse in New york,cuz I am a real ada in nyc
@@savanaofray4426 what's it like? Like svu?? Im so interested!
@@savanaofray4426 Yeah totally your an ada
@@savanaofray4426 🤣🤣🤣
@@savanaofray4426 sure
Man... even for this show, that is heavy on so many levels.
I need a barba in my life!!! He is the best I love his character!!!
So weird seeing him here after Hannibal. He's pretty damned good.
Thank you! I couldn’t remember where I’d seen him
He was in Hannibal?
@@AngelRodriguez-tj7xt He's Frederick Chilton, the general administrator for Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane
@@RedxMoonxRose thank you.
does he get eaten?
The actress is "Kelli Williams" she was on the Practice
I love when he goes for the jugular
Barba is the best part of this whole show.
I miss Barba/Raul Esparza 💜 I always thought it would be interesting to see Benson and Barba together.
Maybe this is going to happen. Season 23 finale ending on Benson speaking out how she feels...
Just take a seat and stop breathing. ;))-
I miss a lot,he is a good actor and I love him like a person
He is my favorite character with Amaro.
I imagine after this scene the others are like: Dude, that was harsh.
P.S. I didn't get to see this episode yet.
Alex Cabot and Casey Novak were badass. Barba is good but stone needs to go
Stabler master Race
amaro and barba are probably the two sexiest characters lmao
Amaro and Barba were my SUV crushes, I was so disappointed when they left. Thank god for Carisi though
@@skypeters3034I liked stone tbh 😢😮
Oh i do love Barba
They really need to put the season and episode number of this clips in the description of these clips
Barba is my favorite ADA close behind McCoy from the original series
HajimeNoJMo I love him but I really loved Cabot too...and Casey
He's just so amazing!! Perfect.

Huhue. Syyeuyegyemueuu
Uhwhtebyeusybbu your mom and dad
What is a hostile witness, I’m like confused because the first time I heard that term was in the Dark Knight , and right as Dent said that the witness pulled a gun on him being a literal hostile
Giorgio Larriva a witness who doesn’t want to cooperate. Usually a witness called on by one of the sides and they end up working against them.
More specifically the designation allows a lawyer to ask leading questions
An attorney cannot ask the witness leading question unless they are treated as a “hostile” witness. In technical terms, it means your own witness is not cooperating or doesn’t want to reveal evidence they are withholding
Defense: Is there a question here? (He's right, Barba can not make arguments like this during witness examination)
Judge: Get to the point.
Barba: _fails to ask questions_
That's so getting thrown out on appeal.
Yup. TV has corrupted our view of how the courts actually work.
Because this is a drama and not an accurate portrayal of how courts truly work.
Barba's great!
PixieLady45 i
No he wasn't 😢😮 he blamed her 😞 👎 for no reason tbh
That’s the girl from “The Practice”. Love these tie-ins.
I keep reading his name as Barbra on first glance
Same
She’s from Lie to Me!!!!!
AyeAyeRon Molay and the fosters
Kinda liked how McCoy did it...
McCoy: ur honor I'd like to treat the witness as hostile!?
**Punches witness in the face a buncha times**
Love this show SVU is great.
Love you guys ❤
O MELHOR ADA da série. É uma pena que tenha saído, ainda tinha muito o que mostrar, muito o que brilhar, do lado da Benson e de toda a equipe. Pra mim, ele foi e ainda é, o melhor.
Definitely
I absolutely adore this actress. I saw her on a adifferent show as a guest star . Criminal Minds . And I still remeber her. Her acting is so emotional . So truthful. So haunting. Why can't amazing actresses have equally amazing careers? At least in the US? Is it too much to ask? Am I reaching for the stars here? I don''t think so...
She's a lead in an old show The Practice
She's a lead on a great show called "Lie to Me" but it got cancelled. If you like Criminal Minds, you'll like Lie to Me
I LOVE BARBA BEST EVER:)
This was a great episode
Ada mr barba is great actor ever
Barba Is The Best!! ☺️
Kelli Williams best actress she did well in this episode loved her as Lindsay on The practice
This episode was heartbreaking/Barba was the best
I believe he has the same features of Raymond Burr who'd played Perry Mason. I'm a fan of Perry Mason.
I love Barba he was awesome!!!!
The girl actor was also in criminal minds, in cm she was a grieving mother who lost her young child in a car crash and went a murder spree cuz of it
I miss Barba.. He was my favorite ADA... Straight Beast Mode In The Court..
Who remembers the witness? From Lie To Me..
2019 still watching😘😘😘
I miss seeing Barbara on the show I will always keep close to my heart
Goodness gracious. Going to the court = Speaking up.
Elliott...said in my best E.T. Voice
He's the Man!
Miss Amarro too.
hmmmm I love me some Barrrrbaa
damn Barba...
Barba is the best 😍
Barba is a great ADA ,he going to work his case out
The Truth is not a delicate tool. It is meant to be brought down bluntly, with force enough to break someone if necessary.
the defendant is the kid from ET lol
Yep.
I swear I just saw her in a criminal minds episode
And it was her from the season 6 episode, where she lost her son and shot a few people
Shesaid it26 yes, they do 😂
Not my yacht😎
Judy Caldwell “What, are you a bat?”
Shesaid it26 First of all, it’s Barba. Unless you’re Fin, he always messes it up.
Second, I was quoting another line I liked, but evidently it was something he said while goofing around in an outtake, so don’t mind me.
Barba for the people. For justice. For the TRUTH!!!
I just want him to SING 😃❤️
He's so hot omg 😻
I need him in my life
Dr. Gillian Foster!! 😄
This defense lawyer reminds me of the defense lawyer from The Bee Movie
*E.T.: "Oh, El-li-ot"*
Victim blaming? No, he is responsible for his own actions lady.
Season 18, Episode 2 - Making a Rapist
when you're watching something about criminals and rape and the ad you get is about BTS being on Vlive 😂😂😂 like what the hell 😂😂😂😂
Patrizia Guzman same!
Wtf
@ 0:31 - is that Henry "Elliott from E.T." Thomas I see there?
Yeah, I think so.
Yes it is.
Dang Barba
let's be honest the show was never the same after he left
I love Ice T
Unbelievable
Elliot lost his way after ET left.
omg its the dad from haunting of hill house
Wat ep is this
How come they never list the episode number ?
I really wish he'd told her it wasn't her fault what happened to him in there. What his fellow inmates did says nothing about her or her actions. It is not her fault our prison system is brutally horrific in and of itself.
It is her fault for putting him there regardless if he was raped or not.
That's what I'm saying ❤😢 why blame her whether she wants to believe it's her fault or not which Is why I never really liked barba in the first place 😡 always blaming the victims then people have the nerve to say he's at heart what heart💜❤️ he's just like another Rollins to me victim blame 😠 they both should have teamed up ovef the years then him and Benson they both seem to have chemistry when it comes to victim blame etc.
@@alexandraanderson3988none of that would have happened to him if it weren’t for HER. Barba doesn’t blame victims. He makes them take accountability. Which is what we need in real life.
@@alexandraanderson3988 imagine putting someone in jail for years for nothing and still being called a victim, youre f****** pathetic scum, people like you that make this society such a shitshow.
