NBC's recap of the episode is now included in the first post. I can see I'm going to have a beef with whomever writes these recaps as well (I had some major issues with "Conviction" recaps.)
Meanwhile, the defense had called to the stand a doctor who claimed that it was quite possible that Heather thought she was raped years ago, but in fact she wasn’t. She said that it was possible that Heather’s attack occurred only in her head and she’d accused Trenway when she saw him on the front page of the papers. Novak had proven to the doctor that it was still possible that Heather was raped and that it couldn’t have been just psychological.
Ok, so if you had watched the episode, Recap Writer, you would be able to write what actually happened. The doctor was not put on the stand to prove that Heather's rape never took place. The doctor's only purpose was to prove that Heather only accused Martin Trenway because she saw his picture in the paper. There was never any doubt that a rape had occured at all.
The judge had to break it to Lorraine that because of the statute of limitations, Trenway could never be charged with raping her.
True, but the important part was not that the statute of limitations had expired. Casey and the squad knew that already. The important piece of info was that Lorraine's story couldn't be corroborated because there was no witness or evidence, which then brought around the next part; Lorraine describing the box and Elliot finding it in the basement.
