(SVU: "Night") In 2009, the firm got a considerable black eye when Granger placed a mentally challenged defendant, Jeff Lynwood, on the stand, despite knowing that Lynnwood could not adequately defend himself, in order to get the boy so upset that it would make him appear to have no control over himself. This tactic nearly got Granger disbarred by the judge, Barry Moredock. (SVU: "Lead")
