John James McCoy is a fictional grapheme in the television drama Police force & Lodge. He was created by Dick Wolf and Michael Due south. Chernuchin and has been portrayed by Sam Waterston during both the show'south original run from 1994 to 2010 and since its return in 2022. He is one of the longest-tenured characters on the show, with both he and Lt. Anita Van Buren (portrayed past S. Epatha Merkerson) appearing in 17 seasons.

Waterston's performance as McCoy on the New York–based series was so popular that it resulted in him being declared a "Living Landmark" by the New York Landmarks Conservancy, along with fellow longtime series bandage member Jerry Orbach (who portrayed the pop law detective Lennie Briscoe for virtually 12 years).^[two]

Character overview [edit]

Jack McCoy brings 24 years of experience with him every bit he is introduced every bit Executive Assistant District Attorney by Adam Schiff (Steven Colina) in the flavor five premiere episode "2nd Opinion". He quickly establishes himself every bit more than unconventional and ruthless than his predecessor as Executive Assistant District Attorney, Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty). He often bends—and sometimes breaks—trial rules to get convictions, finds tenuous rationales for charging defendants with crimes when the original charges fail to stick, and charges innocent people to affright them into testifying against the bodily guilty parties. McCoy is found in contempt of courtroom 80 times for such beliefs, and his tactics occasionally incur negative publicity for the DA's office. His underlying motivation, withal, is non, he maintains, abuse but a sincere desire to see justice done. To that finish, McCoy has gone afterwards defendants accused of perverting the justice arrangement to suit wrongful convictions with just as much determination every bit his more mundane cases. Such aggressive deportment in the courts have earned him the nickname "Hang 'em High McCoy".^[iii] He describes himself as a "junkyard dog".^[4] He has developed a reputation with both colleagues and rival attorneys, one time referred to as "the height of the legal food chain" by a rival attorney during a trial.^[5]

Following the 17th season (2006–2007), Jack McCoy is appointed interim commune attorney, taking over from Arthur Branch (Fred Thompson). McCoy'south appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit on the November 13, 2007, episode "Blinded", marked his first appearance in the Law & Order universe every bit district attorney. The replacement for his former position is Michael Cutter (Linus Roache), a prosecutor with a penchant for recklessness not different McCoy'southward ain in his younger days. This occasionally presents political difficulties for the new commune attorney. More once, McCoy berates Cutter for reckless acquit, in the same manner equally he was berated by commune attorneys when he was executive assistant district chaser.

In the flavour 19 episode "Lucky Stiff", McCoy begins his election campaign for New York County District Attorney after serving the concluding season and a half as interim DA. In the flavor-xix episode "Promote This", in 1991 his wife Ellen (whom he was divorcing) is revealed to have unknowingly employed an undocumented immigrant as a nanny. This causes McCoy political havoc during a murder case where the motive was racism confronting illegal immigrants of Hispanic descent. In the episode "Skate or Dice", the place where his last campaign fundraiser would exist held is discovered by the organizers to be owned by a human being who served a 20-yr prison house judgement for racketeering. Eventually, the final entrada fundraiser is held at a Chinese seafood restaurant with a kosher section.

McCoy is hand-picked for the interim DA position by Governor Donald Shalvoy (Tom Everett Scott), and the two initially have a friendly, productive working relationship. By the end of the 18th season, however, McCoy discovers that Shalvoy is involved in a prostitution scandal that is tied to a murder instance he is prosecuting. Angered and disappointed, McCoy orders Cutter to offset investigating Shalvoy, who retaliates by lending his support to McCoy's opponent in the election. In the last episode of season nineteen, "The Drowned and the Saved", Cutter uncovers evidence that Shalvoy tried to purchase a Senate seat for his married woman Rita (Alison Elliott), who ordered the murder, and threatens him with public disgrace unless he resigns. McCoy'due south opponent suddenly has no patron, giving McCoy good prospects for victory.^[6] In the opening episode of flavour 20, McCoy is revealed to accept won the election; he serves as DA for the remainder of this terminal flavor of Law & Society.

Law & Order originally ceased product in 2010, simply McCoy (though not seen) was still occasionally mentioned as beingness the Manhattan DA in the spin-off series Law & Club: Special Victims Unit in several episodes through 2011. A reference to "the new DA" in a 2013 SVU episode would indicate that McCoy had moved on from the position presumably former in 2012; his replacement was unnamed. However, McCoy was the DA again as of 2018, showing upwards in the SVU episode "The Undiscovered Country". As of 2022, he once once more appears as the DA in the revival of the original Constabulary & Order.

Personal life [edit]

It is implied that McCoy lives alone on the West Side of Manhattan.^[7]

While he is a brilliant legal mind, McCoy has more than a few personal demons. He was abused by his begetter, an Irish Chicago policeman who had also trounce Jack's female parent, and who eventually died of cancer.^[8] McCoy says that his conclusion and unyielding work ethic are a byproduct of having been harshly punished by his father for losing at anything.^[viii] He also revealed that his father was a racist who once hit him for dating a Smooth girl.^[9] McCoy disliked his male parent, calling him a "son-of-a-bitch"; however, he admits he could accept hands become like him.^[9]

While not a nationalist, he cares enough about his heritage to exist offended by a suspect's father's insinuation that two murder suspects committed the crime because of their "Irish atmosphere".^[10]

McCoy has been divorced twice (one ex-wife having been a former assistant) and has an developed daughter, Rebecca, with first ex-wife Ellen. One of his ex-wives left him because he worked besides many late nights.^[11] A gossip columnist writes that McCoy has not seen or spoken to his daughter since 1997, and McCoy receives an envelope containing pictures of his girl.^[12] He does not open the envelope; rather, he places it in his bottom left desk drawer, adjacent to a canteen of Jim Beam. In "Fallout", the terminal scene shows McCoy coming together his daughter (Jamie Schofield) at a eatery. During a conversation with (fictional) New York Governor Donald Shalvoy, he mentions Rebecca has taken a job in San Diego, and that she drove upwards to Los Angeles to meet him there for dinner while he was attending a conference on official business;^[13] the governor uses this to endeavor to smear McCoy, wrongly implying that he used public funds to visit Rebecca. In the season-20 episode "Nobility", McCoy mentions to EADA Michael Cutter (Linus Roache) and ADA Connie Rubirosa (Alana de la Garza) that his girl is either pregnant or a new mother, thus making him soon to be or already a gramps. He also has a nephew, which indicates that he has at least one sibling.^[fourteen] By 2008, his nephew had a immature girl.^[15]

McCoy has a reputation for having romantic affairs with his ADAs. Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennessy) mentions this when they start encounter; he tells her he has had affairs with only three of his ADAs, simply by the end of the episode, she realizes that he has but had three female ADAs before her.^[16] In the episode "Scoundrels", McCoy reveals that defense force attorney Sally Bong (Edie Falco) had been i of those ADAs.^[16] He at i point was revealed to have had a romantic relationship with his frequent courtroom antagonist, defense attorney Vanessa Galiano (Roma Maffia).^[17] Kincaid initially makes information technology clear that she is not interested in a romantic human relationship, and McCoy agrees to her stipulation.^[16] However, throughout the two seasons in which the two characters announced together, they are implied to be having an thing, with the relationship eventually confirmed in the season 9 episode "Sideshow", long after the Kincaid character had exited the testify. Kincaid is killed in a automobile blow,^[8] a source of ongoing hurting for McCoy; her death is unsaid to exist the motivation for his legally questionable prosecution of an alcoholic who has killed several people while driving under the influence. Defense force attorneys take used his sexual history against him.^[18] Since Kincaid's decease, McCoy has kept his relationships with assistants professional person, albeit friendly.

McCoy's diplomacy with his ADAs have often had explosive consequences. For case, his sometime ADA Diana Hawthorne (Laila Robins), with whom he had a sexual human relationship, was found to take suppressed evidence so they could win a case, resulting in an innocent man going to prison. During her trial for intentionally engineering the wrongful convictions, Hawthorne claims that the convictions earned McCoy a promotion he was seeking. Ironically, in the aforementioned trial, during which McCoy is forced to acknowledge he was having an affair with Hawthorne, he is beingness represented past Kincaid, with whom he is before long having an thing.^[3]

In "Firm Counsel", McCoy tries to prosecute a mobster for bribing and murdering a juror. The man's lawyer, Paul Kopell (Ron Leibman), is 1 of McCoy'southward oldest friends, with whom he had a competitive human relationship for years, and he proves to be every bit aggressive in his approach to his work. As Kopell repeatedly stymies McCoy's prosecutorial efforts, McCoy takes the position that Kopell is not acting every bit an contained chaser, but as a participant in organized crime, and somewhen prosecutes Kopell for conspiracy in the juror's murder. He tells Kopell's married woman Anna (Jessica Walter) that the prosecution is not personal, simply she angrily replies that McCoy simply wants the final victory over a rival. By the cease of the episode, though he has won the case, McCoy is so troubled that he does not even want to share an elevator with Kincaid.^[nineteen]

While McCoy was not exactly a role of the 1960s counterculture, he did protestation confronting the policies of the Richard Nixon administration, particularly the Vietnam State of war. In 1972, he published an article in the New York University Law Review in defense of Catholic priests who had been opposed to the conflict.^[20] He does retain some of the wild streak from his youth; he is a fan of The Clash^[21] and he rides a Yamaha motorcycle.^[22] He is opposed to the Iraq War.^[23]

Unlike his predecessor Ben Stone (Michael Moriarty), McCoy embraces the selection of the expiry penalty, claiming it is a suitable penalty for specially heinous crimes and a useful threat in plea bargaining. This ofttimes leads to heated arguments with his more liberal colleagues. In "Savages", when the death sentence has only been restored in New York following the election of Governor George Pataki, Kincaid asks McCoy about the probability of executing an innocent individual. McCoy responds that, with the lengthy prosecution process and opportunities for the defendant to appeal the verdict, the probability of wrongful execution is unlikely. Kincaid asks McCoy if he is able to accept the probability of "unlikely"; his hesitation indicates that he has never considered the possibility. In later seasons, his view towards the expiry penalty has patently inverse: in flavour 18's "Executioner", he is deeply troubled hearing of a gruesomely botched execution in South Carolina, and in season 20's "Four Cops Shot", he resists efforts by a U.Southward. attorney to prosecute a suspect in the murder of a police officer under a federal capital punishment statute.

He has shown mercy on occasion, such equally the 1997 episode "Burned" in which he prosecutes Terence Lawlor (Sam Huntington), a teenage boy with bipolar disorder, for murdering his sister. The boy's grandfather Carl Anderton (Robert Vaughn), a wealthy CEO (and good friend of Schiff's) who also proved to endure from the disorder, had attempted to get his grandson to plead guilty and go to jail rather than plead insanity and exist committed to a mental establishment, fearing that a public revelation of the boy'due south illness would provide enough evidence to reveal his own illness and touch on his reputation. McCoy leads the effort to forbid an unjust punishment for the boy.^[24] Similarly, in flavour seven's "Deadbeat", he declines to prosecute a woman who is the sole caregiver for a male child dying of cancer, although he implies that he may do so once the male child has died.^[25]

McCoy was raised Catholic, but does non announced to be in practise, and has not been for some time; he describes himself as a "lapsed Catholic".^[26] McCoy was educated by the Jesuits.^[27] On several occasions, faith has been the subject of diverse cases. In the episode "Thrill", in which ii teenaged boys are accused of killing a homo for fun, McCoy finds his case peculiarly complicated when ane of the suspects confesses the criminal offense to his uncle, a priest. When the confession tape is labeled privileged, McCoy ignores the bishop's asking to preserve the sacrament of reconciliation and instead tries to use the record as evidence. When Detective Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) tries to dissuade McCoy from doing so, reminding him that he is a Cosmic, McCoy responds, "Non when I'one thousand at work."^[28]

When a man is defendant of killing a drug dealer who killed the man's son, a priest (Denis O'Hare) confesses to the crime. Though McCoy personally believes that the priest is roofing for the human being, he prosecutes the priest, instead. At the terminate of the episode, McCoy says that he lost his organized religion after the expiry of a childhood friend.^[29]

Notable conflicts [edit]

McCoy'south unconventional and sometimes ruthless professional person conduct has put his job in jeopardy more once throughout the serial. Some of the more than serious occurrences are:

• In "Competence" (flavor five), McCoy withholds from the defense a witness statement indicating that an individual other than the defendant had a motive to commit the crime. Under Brady v. Maryland, the prosecution is required to plough over exculpatory evidence to the defense force. McCoy'south reasoning is that he was not going to call the witness at trial and that he is not obliged to "...turn over irrelevant and potentially misleading bear witness." When the defense somewhen learns of the withheld argument and accuses the DA'south office of misconduct, DA Adam Schiff (Steven Hill) is angry near McCoy's judgment phone call, and suggests that McCoy is at grave take a chance of being disbarred. At the resulting hearing, a approximate declares that McCoy pushed the envelope, only that the ambiguity of the police did not prove his actions were unethical.
• In "Corpus Delicti" (season six), McCoy tries to prosecute a man, starting time for insurance fraud involving a wealthy widow show horse owner, and so, when the widow disappears, for her murder. When McCoy is unable to prove her murder without her body, he repeatedly questions the defendant as though the fraud against the widow is a fact, and her murder, therefore, must have been the logical issue, despite the judge's repeated instruction not to do so. The estimate declares a mistrial because of McCoy's repeated refusal to follow the educational activity. When the widow's body is plant several months after, McCoy reacts every bit though he will naturally be able to represent his example. When Schiff recalls that McCoy did want more time to detect the widow's body, McCoy responds as though his emotional nature sometimes gets the meliorate of him, but he smiles as though he knows well that "his emotional nature" was a stalling tactic to filibuster the example until the widow's body was found.
• In "Pro Se" (season six), McCoy defies a direct order from Adam Schiff to remove Kincaid from the case, proverb to her privately it's my instance. I choose who sits in my 2nd chair."
• In "I.D." (flavour vii), McCoy is jailed for contempt of court after accusing the judge of lacking even "the appearance of impartiality," although the judge is later forced to recuse himself.
• In "Mad Dog" (season seven), McCoy becomes obsessed with proving that a recently paroled serial rapist (Burt Young) is guilty of the rape and murder of a young adult female. McCoy pushes the police force perilously close to harassment and considers putting the man nether false arrest until Schiff decides to put a cease to it. At the end of the episode, the rapist is killed by his girl after he attacks one of her friends. McCoy says, "I'm sad it had to happen this way". ADA Jamie Ross (Carey Lowell) replies, "Not that sorry".
• In "Under the Influence" (season viii), McCoy is prosecuting a drunk commuter for killing three pedestrians. He takes a statement from a flight attendant (a denizen of Colombia) who had served the defendant big amounts of alcohol and noted how boozer he had become. Encouraged past McCoy, the airline reassigned her to an international road, making her inaccessible to the defence for questioning. McCoy lies to the defense nearly having followed all relevant discovery procedures, and the presiding judge - who wants to make an example of the defendant in order to further his political ambitions - urges McCoy to withhold the argument every bit it could eternalize the defense's case. Ross warns McCoy that withholding the statement may pb to his disbarment; McCoy somewhen changes his listen and submits it, prompting a plea deal. The approximate initially rejects the agreement and threatens to charge McCoy with professional misconduct, but McCoy counters with a threat to file a complaint with the ethics commission over the judge's handling of the case. The gauge accepts the plea, and neither he nor McCoy files any charges confronting the other. Dialogue throughout the episode implies that McCoy sees the defendant equally a surrogate for the boozer commuter who killed ADA Claire Kincaid (Jill Hennessy).
• In "Monster" (flavor eight), McCoy is brought before the disciplinary committee of the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Sectionalisation, on misconduct charges stemming from his bear in the example of the drunk driver described in "Under the Influence." Since McCoy had ultimately released the prove before the case was decided, he is non seriously punished for his actions. In the same episode, he had wrongly prosecuted an innocent man for the sexual assault of a immature girl; during the investigation, the doubtable had been coerced by detectives Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Rey Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) into giving them a false confession. When the existent perpetrator is caught, McCoy asks the girl's doctor to give the defendant's lawyer false information. The following episode explains that he is exonerated by the ideals committee.
• In "DWB" (flavor 9), McCoy, in contradiction of Schiff's direct order, sues to invalidate a federal plea bargain to force a suspect to deal with the New York DA'southward office. McCoy assures Schiff that the federal judgment volition eventually exist overturned on appeal; Schiff retorts that if it is not, he volition expect McCoy'due south resignation.
• In "Refuge, Part II" (season 9), McCoy again disobeys a direct order from Schiff by instructing the police to imprison suspected Russian mobsters without charge. Near the end of the episode, a suggestion is made that McCoy is ready to resign over this issue, just Schiff simply says, "No martyrs" and allows him to remain in his job.
• In "Invaders" (season 16), after the brutal murder of ADA Alexandra Borgia (Annie Parisse), McCoy pushes the envelope even further when he arranges to present a sham prosecution to intimidate a decadent Drug Enforcement Assistants agent to turn state'south evidence against Borgia's murderers. When that fox fails, McCoy, hoping the agent would lead police to the killers, orders him released. While the murderers are arrested and the decadent agent is killed, the severely unorthodox strategies used in the case atomic number 82 to McCoy being removed from the case by order of the governor of New York. He is replaced for the duration of the case with an attorney from the New York State Attorney General'southward Function.
• In "The Family 60 minutes" (flavor 17), in which a state senator is on trial for murder, medical examiner Elizabeth Rodgers (Leslie Hendrix) cites the wrong book during cantankerous examination and subsequently confesses to McCoy nearly information technology. McCoy wishes to disclose the fault to the judge, just DA Arthur Branch (Thompson) decides the error is not exculpatory, and he orders McCoy to keep quiet. When McCoy refuses to cooperate, ADA Connie Rubirosa (Alana de la Garza) gives the trial's closing summation instead of him. Although Rubirosa wins the instance, McCoy submits his letter of the alphabet of resignation in protest. Branch appears to dissuade him from resigning and says he would not be "in this chair forever". Although McCoy insists that he is a prosecutor, non a politician, McCoy replaces Co-operative as the DA immediately thereafter.
