"Mike" Cutter Played By: Linus Roache Introduction Scene: L&O Episode 394, "Called Home" First Lines: The first shot of Cutter shows only his reflection in the window of the interview room at the 27th Police Precinct. He and Lt. Van Buren are watching a witness interview. When the witness implicates their suspect, he begins pacing, and Van Buren says, "Well, if they don't take away Nolan's Emmy for this…." He responds, "Why stop at his Emmy? He was after ratings! He had a suicidal victim, an unchecked report; he had motive, it was a substantial risk, and a reckless act. Full house. Let's go." Exit Scene: N/A Final Lines: N/A Last Edited By: fearciuil 05/30/08 16:37:52. Edited 1 times.

Posts: 258 (05/17/08 17:09:52) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	Professional Idiosyncrasies/Quirks * Plans his trial strategy on a dry-erase board on the back of the west door to his office [L&O Episode 396, "Misbegotten" (01/09/08)] * Owns a BlackBerry, which he uses to look up case law [L&O Episode 394, "Called Home" (01/02/08)] * Will treat an acquaintances who is accused of breaking the law like any other defendant [L&O Episode 407, "Burn Card" (04/23/08)] * Has absolutely no sympathy for people indicted for murder [L&O Episode 402, "Executioner" (02/20/08)] * Is even more creative in his use of the law than McCoy, who once asked him, "What do you do for fun, Mike? Juggle chainsaws?" [L&O Episode 395, "Darkness" (01/02/08)] * Has reminded McCoy that he (Cutter) is prosecuting the case, not McCoy, and asked to be able to "call [his] own shots" [L&O Episode 395, "Darkness" (01/02/08)]. Dislikes McCoy "fighting [his] battles for [him]" [L&O Episode 396, "Misbegotten" (01/09/08)], but encouraged McCoy on at least two occasions to take up a case with the Governor [L&O Episode 410, "Personae Non Grata" (05/14/08)]. * Has stepped right up to the limit of ethical behavior in pursuit of the conviction of someone he honestly believes to be getting away with murder [L&O Episode 400, "Quit Claim" (02/06/08)] * Has been known to use his assistant's attractiveness as a tool with which to manipulate the jury (thus angering said assistant) [L&O Episode 403, "Tango" (02/27/08)] * Keeps trophies of past cases in his office [e.g., L&O Episode 404, "Betrayal" (03/05/08); L&O Episode 406, "Angelgrove" (03/19/08)] Career History * Joined DANY right out of law school, and spent the first five years of his career prosecuting drug cases [L&O Episode 404, "Betrayal" (03/05/08)] * Lost a case c. 2003-2004 in which the defendant "crushed his fiancée's skull … five people saw him do it. He was covered in blood and brain matter. The jury acquitted. Wasn't [his] first case, or [his] tenth. Happened four years ago. No such thing as a slam dunk." [L&O Episode 404, "Betrayal" (03/05/08)] * Has no problem pressuring witnesses, even young witnesses; a tactic that made detective and law student Cyrus Lupo uncomfortable [L&O Episode 404, "Betrayal" (03/05/08); L&O Episode 408, "Bogeyman" (04/30/08] * Once went back on a deal McCoy made--a tactic that made McCoy smile [L&O Episode 397, "Bottomless" (01/16/08)] Last Edited By: fearciuil 05/30/08 16:38:57.
