Rose Callier is an Assistant District Attorney who frequently handles minor arraignments, cases.

History

She is first seen handling the arraignment of Michael Wedmore for rape in place of Alexandra Cabot. She argues for $50,000 bail and later objects when Bayard Ellis offers to represent him. The judge allows Ellis to represent him but agrees to Caliay's bail amount and BCADA Michael Cutter takes over. (SVU: "True Believers")

Rose is later seen prosecuting Simon Marsden for possession of marijuana and goes up against Ellis again. At a pre-trial hearing Ellis questioned the arresting officer as she makes several objections. Eventually Ellis manages to prove the cop is racist and Caliay, realizing her case is doomed, attempts to plead Simon out to disorderly conduct. But Ellis moves for a dismissal based on the bad search and the judge grants it. (SVU: "Child's Welfare")

When Omar Pena, representing himself, moves to vacate his conviction based on new evidence Rose represents the People. Omar argues they should test for DNA while Rose states there was no DNA found on the scene. Rose argues that they want to overturn his conviction based on evidence he doesn't have though Omar argues the new technology could reveal new evidence. The judge denies Omar's motion and is sent back to Rikers. (SVU: "Justice Denied")

Rose later handles Delia Wilson's arraignment after she is arrested and brings up her role as the leader of a prostitution ring for ten years and is a suspect in a murder investigation. Delia's attorney, Marvin Exley attempts to portray her as an honest business woman and family woman but Rose uses her offshore bank accounts set up by her attorney and uses it as grounds to have him disqualified as counsel. Exley attempts to paint her arrest as a witch hunt but the judge orders a 2 million dollar bail for Mrs. Wilson, which her attorney pays. (SVU: "Rhodium Nights")

When Cedric Jones is later arrested for assault Rose handles his arraignment and argues against the charge being dismissed after they dropped the hate crime charge. The judge agrees that the charge stands and Rose asks for $25,000 bail because Cedric lives out of state. The judge reduces it to $20,000 because this is his first offense and he has no community ties. She is later briefed by Sgt. Olivia Benson and Det. Nick Amaro about how Eddie Thorpe was raped by two older boys on their coach's after he missed a few passes. She argues that even if he wanted to go pro he could have transferred out but Amaro counters with how football is a small world and Thorpe didn't want to look weak. They also mention the videos the players took of both assaults and advises them, based on Eddie's reluctance, to pick everyone involved up and to see if they will turn on each other. As she leaves Rose comments on how this is all rape in the first-degree. When Rose explained what happened to Cedric to the man he beat up he dropped the charges and Cedric headed back home to Atlanta. (SVU: "Gridiron Soldier")

Rose later asks for remand when Tensley Evans escapes from rehab, goes drinking, crashes into a van and attempts to flees the scene. Marvin Exley later uses Nick Amaro as a scapegoat when Tensley accuses him of sexual misconduct. The case is later transferred to ADA Rafael Barba after Amaro is cleared and it is revealed Tensley gave a blow job to a 15 year-old boy, and she is charged with statutory rape.
