Alexandra Cabot

ADAs Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak both returned to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit for the show's 13th season. In the season premiere ``Scorched Earth'', Cabot makes her first appearance in the squad room since season 11. She is the lead prosecutor in a rape case against Roberto DiStasio (Franco Nero), a diplomat in the running to become Italy's next prime minister. When the accuser, a hotel maid, is caught on tape admitting she could make money off her alleged rapist, Cabot's new boss, SVU's Bureau Chief ADA Michael Cutter (Linus Roache), says that they are dropping the charges. Cabot fights Cutter, however, and the case does make it to trial, with mixed results; the jury finds the defendant guilty of unlawful imprisonment, but are deadlocked on the rape charge.
