'The Girl From Plainville': Aya Cash Gets Her 'Law & Order' Moment as Katie Rayburn (Exclusive)
etonline.com, Aya Cash portrays Katie Rayburn, the Assistant District Attorney who is prosecuting the unprecedented case of holding Michelle Carter (Elle Fanning) accountable for the suicide of her boyfriend, Conrad Roy (Colton Ryan).
