Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:02,630
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,703 --> 00:00:06,606
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:08,471
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,542 --> 00:00:11,307
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:13,108
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:16,680
Tena, Daddy's waiting for us.
7
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,779
I'm waving to Max.
8
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:22,887
Put on your coat and your
gloves. I won't tell you twice.
9
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:25,192
And bring me Elena's hat.
10
00:00:30,797 --> 00:00:31,890
Can I bring Lily?
11
00:00:31,965 --> 00:00:33,024
Yes, but hurry.
12
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:40,471
I don't see Daddy and Max.
13
00:00:40,541 --> 00:00:41,839
Leon?
14
00:00:45,612 --> 00:00:47,012
Leon!
15
00:00:52,786 --> 00:00:55,415
Max! Max!
16
00:01:02,896 --> 00:01:05,388
The 5-year-old died
en-route to North General.
17
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:08,200
Mr. Galvez was
dead at the scene.
18
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:09,646
What were they
doing out this early?
19
00:01:09,670 --> 00:01:11,381
They were going to their
grandmother's in Albany.
20
00:01:11,405 --> 00:01:14,807
Point of impact was here,
knocked the kid right out of his boots.
21
00:01:15,142 --> 00:01:16,586
You got a make
on the hit-and-run?
22
00:01:16,610 --> 00:01:17,942
No. No witnesses so far.
23
00:01:18,445 --> 00:01:19,485
Want to see the other one?
24
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:20,546
Other one?
25
00:01:20,614 --> 00:01:22,082
Around the corner.
26
00:01:22,482 --> 00:01:23,506
Any ID?
27
00:01:23,584 --> 00:01:25,348
Be my guest.
28
00:01:25,419 --> 00:01:28,253
I'll wager he didn't
live in Harlem.
29
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:32,951
Peter Lavalle, 170
East 82nd Street.
30
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:34,995
Long way from his townhouse.
31
00:01:35,062 --> 00:01:37,258
We're positing he got
hit at the crosswalk.
32
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:40,858
The car swerved
after the impact,
33
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:43,301
hit the curb going
around the corner,
34
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:47,801
we got tire marks there,
then hit the other two.
35
00:01:48,008 --> 00:01:49,909
Anybody hear him hit the brakes?
36
00:01:49,977 --> 00:01:51,809
No brakes. No skid marks.
37
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:54,275
Maybe no accident.
38
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:48,034
Max always followed
his papa everywhere.
39
00:02:52,105 --> 00:02:55,132
I don't know what
I'm going to do.
40
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:58,303
We don't have any money.
41
00:02:58,378 --> 00:03:00,210
Victim Services can
help you with that.
42
00:03:00,814 --> 00:03:02,476
We'll make sure
the word gets out.
43
00:03:02,983 --> 00:03:04,474
Mama, can you open the juice?
44
00:03:04,885 --> 00:03:07,548
Here, let me give you a
hand with that. I'm an expert.
45
00:03:09,523 --> 00:03:11,958
Mrs. Galvez, when
you went downstairs,
46
00:03:12,025 --> 00:03:13,459
you're sure you
didn't see a car?
47
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:15,052
No. I didn't see no car.
48
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:17,354
I saw a car.
49
00:03:17,731 --> 00:03:19,222
You did? Where?
50
00:03:22,102 --> 00:03:25,038
She was looking outside
before we went downstairs.
51
00:03:26,006 --> 00:03:28,373
I waved at Max
and then I saw a car,
52
00:03:28,442 --> 00:03:30,741
but then Mama told
me to put on my coat.
53
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:32,243
What was the car doing?
54
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:34,113
It was driving on the street.
55
00:03:34,181 --> 00:03:35,581
Do you know what
kind of car it was?
56
00:03:37,017 --> 00:03:40,215
It was black. It was
big. It was driving fast.
57
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:51,956
Why don't we sit down
over here, Mrs. Lavalle.
58
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:53,625
Right here. Come on.
59
00:03:58,705 --> 00:03:59,705
Okay.
60
00:04:02,809 --> 00:04:05,301
Mrs. Lavalle, I'm sorry I
have to ask you these things,
61
00:04:05,378 --> 00:04:08,473
but what was your husband
doing up in that neighborhood?
62
00:04:11,651 --> 00:04:15,611
Well, he takes a
walk every Sunday,
63
00:04:17,624 --> 00:04:21,789
up Third Avenue and
down First. Every week.
64
00:04:22,596 --> 00:04:25,225
Can you think of anyone who
might've wanted to hurt your husband?
65
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:26,365
No.
66
00:04:26,466 --> 00:04:29,334
Why? It was an
accident, wasn't it?
67
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:31,098
Well, we're not
sure what happened.
68
00:04:31,338 --> 00:04:34,035
Is there anybody else in
your family we can talk to?
69
00:04:35,408 --> 00:04:38,936
Our children,
Matthew and Daniel.
70
00:04:40,981 --> 00:04:43,746
I'll get you their
phone numbers.
71
00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:52,752
He had a walking stick,
with a sterling silver handle.
72
00:04:53,493 --> 00:04:54,771
Are you sure he had it with him?
73
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:56,263
Yes, of course.
74
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:58,294
And I have to get it back.
75
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,228
It belonged to his father.
76
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:03,598
Officer.
77
00:05:04,271 --> 00:05:05,681
I didn't see a walking
stick at the scene.
78
00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:06,764
Neither did I.
79
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:07,899
Somebody got there first.
80
00:05:08,008 --> 00:05:10,204
We find the walking stick,
maybe we find a witness.
81
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:11,768
I'll call Profaci.
82
00:05:12,579 --> 00:05:13,842
Hey! Hi, Daddy!
83
00:05:13,914 --> 00:05:14,914
Hey, bunny!
84
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:16,609
Hi, Lennie! Hi,
Deborah. Nice to see you.
85
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,311
Here we go, sweetie. Hey, honey.
86
00:05:18,885 --> 00:05:20,114
How was the museum?
87
00:05:20,187 --> 00:05:21,397
Serena loved
the bike collection.
88
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:22,421
You did? Yeah.
89
00:05:22,489 --> 00:05:23,599
We brought you Chinese food.
90
00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:24,647
With shrimp and noodles.
91
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:26,352
My favorites! Mine, too.
92
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:28,058
Mommy, I have to go now.
93
00:05:28,128 --> 00:05:29,187
Where's the ladies room?
94
00:05:29,262 --> 00:05:30,286
Upstairs. I'll take her.
95
00:05:30,397 --> 00:05:32,457
No, it's okay.
Come here, Serena.
96
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:40,266
Okay. Hold on.
97
00:05:51,585 --> 00:05:53,679
Mr. Rogers and
Mr. Jones were discussing
98
00:05:53,753 --> 00:05:55,813
the merits of
thunderbird versus crack,
99
00:05:56,089 --> 00:05:59,958
when Mr. Jones pulled out what
Mr. Rogers described as a silver hammer
100
00:06:00,026 --> 00:06:01,204
and hit him upside
the head with it.
101
00:06:01,228 --> 00:06:02,287
A silver hammer?
102
00:06:02,596 --> 00:06:04,155
Black stick with
a silver handle.
103
00:06:08,335 --> 00:06:09,928
Let's go. He had this with him.
104
00:06:11,705 --> 00:06:13,298
Meet Mr. Alternator Jones.
105
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:14,864
Alternator? Yeah.
106
00:06:14,941 --> 00:06:17,206
Says his dad worked at
the Ford plant in Detroit.
107
00:06:17,277 --> 00:06:18,554
You gonna get me
locked up again!
108
00:06:18,578 --> 00:06:19,822
Hey! BRISCOE: Hey! Knock it off!
109
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:20,846
Move him down the block.
110
00:06:20,914 --> 00:06:22,124
You ain't gonna give
me nothing! Shut up!
111
00:06:22,148 --> 00:06:23,411
That cat had it coming to him!
112
00:06:23,483 --> 00:06:25,179
That's not why
you're here, Mr. Jones.
113
00:06:25,252 --> 00:06:26,662
You want to tell me
where you found this?
114
00:06:26,686 --> 00:06:28,587
It's mine. I found
it on the street.
115
00:06:28,655 --> 00:06:30,521
Yeah, on Pleasant Avenue, right?
116
00:06:31,992 --> 00:06:34,188
Look, that old guy
was already dead.
117
00:06:34,261 --> 00:06:37,026
Yeah, we know. He got run
over. We're hoping you saw it.
118
00:06:37,097 --> 00:06:40,124
I heard it. I saw the old guy
walking across the street.
119
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,068
I went around the corner and
I heard this car gun its engine.
120
00:06:43,203 --> 00:06:44,262
It accelerated?
121
00:06:44,337 --> 00:06:45,464
Yeah. Then...
122
00:06:45,538 --> 00:06:47,131
Then I came back
around the corner,
123
00:06:47,207 --> 00:06:48,732
and the cat was
dead, that's all.
124
00:06:48,842 --> 00:06:49,842
You see the car?
125
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:50,969
No, man.
126
00:06:51,044 --> 00:06:53,741
Look, I can't see nothing
with these glasses. Look.
127
00:06:55,148 --> 00:06:56,616
Look, you go down to St. Anne's.
128
00:06:56,683 --> 00:06:59,016
Father Luke will fix you
up with a new pair, all right?
129
00:06:59,352 --> 00:07:00,952
And stay out of
Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.
130
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:02,512
Yeah. I'm gonna do that.
131
00:07:06,493 --> 00:07:12,228
Okay, bruises, one on Lavalle's
thigh and the other on the boy's chest.
132
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:14,831
From a headlight rim?
133
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:17,404
You're looking at a
Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar.
134
00:07:19,039 --> 00:07:20,735
You got pictures of these cars?
135
00:07:21,675 --> 00:07:22,699
This one.
136
00:07:25,745 --> 00:07:26,872
And that one, too.
137
00:07:26,947 --> 00:07:28,006
Okay.
138
00:07:28,515 --> 00:07:30,541
Mama, can I go play with Elena?
139
00:07:34,287 --> 00:07:35,949
Did Victim Services
get in touch with you?
140
00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:37,183
Yes.
141
00:07:37,457 --> 00:07:39,949
And people sent money and cards.
142
00:07:41,962 --> 00:07:45,763
People I don't know,
saying they're sorry
143
00:07:45,832 --> 00:07:49,826
and they're gonna
pray for Max and Leon.
144
00:07:51,338 --> 00:07:52,772
I want to thank them
145
00:07:52,839 --> 00:07:54,705
but some of them didn't
write down their names.
146
00:07:55,075 --> 00:07:56,941
Do you mind if we take a look?
147
00:07:59,012 --> 00:08:00,708
People have good hearts.
148
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:02,009
Mommy!
149
00:08:02,515 --> 00:08:03,847
I'm sorry.
150
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:09,521
A check for $67 and
a marriage proposal.
151
00:08:11,925 --> 00:08:13,154
He sent his picture.
152
00:08:13,927 --> 00:08:15,088
Guy must be dreaming.
153
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:17,221
Give him credit for
keeping his clothes on.
154
00:08:17,297 --> 00:08:19,357
Hey, Lennie, look at this one.
155
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:24,368
"Dear Mrs. Galvez,
I saw the news
156
00:08:24,437 --> 00:08:25,962
"about your family
on television.
157
00:08:26,039 --> 00:08:27,799
"They showed your
little boy at the hospital.
158
00:08:27,841 --> 00:08:30,709
"He looked so small in his
little parka and his yellow boots.
159
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:32,977
"I'm so sorry for all
the pain you're feeling.
160
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:35,948
"I'm enclosing $500 to
help with your needs."
161
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:37,016
No signature.
162
00:08:37,083 --> 00:08:39,848
The kid wasn't wearing
his boots at the hospital.
163
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,251
The boots were in the street.
164
00:08:41,988 --> 00:08:45,823
No return address either.
But the C-notes are real.
165
00:08:47,694 --> 00:08:50,630
Brand new. With
consecutive serial numbers.
166
00:08:51,364 --> 00:08:53,458
We traced the bills to
a bank in Murray Hill.
167
00:08:53,733 --> 00:08:55,693
They were disbursed the
same day they were mailed.
168
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:57,902
Did the bank happen to
know who withdrew the money?
169
00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:00,805
Yeah. They narrowed it down to
the teller who did the transaction.
170
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:03,977
He had two clients take
out $500 or more in cash
171
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:05,121
in denominations of a hundred.
172
00:09:05,145 --> 00:09:06,145
No kidding.
173
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:09,273
We have a Chinese immigrant who
was in Hong Kong the day of the accident.
174
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:10,782
The bank knows
that because he made
175
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:12,182
a cash machine withdrawal there.
176
00:09:12,252 --> 00:09:14,619
The other one's a
Susan Young, 34,
177
00:09:14,687 --> 00:09:16,781
divorced, no kids, no car.
178
00:09:16,856 --> 00:09:18,381
But she has a driver's license.
179
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:19,721
How do you want to handle her?
180
00:09:19,793 --> 00:09:22,038
I don't know. We drop in on
her, she's liable to shut down.
181
00:09:22,062 --> 00:09:24,361
Her bank has a stolen
credit card report on her.
182
00:09:24,697 --> 00:09:26,666
She got her purse snatched
about seven months ago.
183
00:09:27,801 --> 00:09:30,066
Good. Tell her we found it.
184
00:09:30,136 --> 00:09:33,197
And ask the bank how many
sugars she takes in her coffee.
185
00:09:34,941 --> 00:09:38,070
Talk about a surprise. I gave up
on ever getting that wallet back.
186
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,956
Still want me to
look at mug shots?
187
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:43,176
Yeah. We'll get to that.
Why don't you take a seat?
188
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:46,986
Last Sunday morning
in East Harlem,
189
00:09:47,053 --> 00:09:49,045
three people were
killed in a hit-and-run.
190
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,885
I saw it on the
news. It's horrible.
191
00:09:53,293 --> 00:09:56,320
You know what else is horrible?
We don't have any witnesses.
192
00:09:57,197 --> 00:09:59,257
The driver might get away
with killing those people
193
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:00,452
'cause no one wants to talk.
194
00:10:00,633 --> 00:10:02,244
That's kind of like
piling one horror
195
00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,793
on top of another.
Wouldn't you agree?
196
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:06,105
Yes.
197
00:10:06,206 --> 00:10:09,973
Good. Now, anything you want
to tell us about this hit-and-run?
198
00:10:12,245 --> 00:10:13,325
I don't know what you mean.
199
00:10:13,413 --> 00:10:15,143
Weren't you in East
Harlem, Sunday morning?
200
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,646
No. Why would you think I was?
201
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,013
The post mark is
from Murray Hill,
202
00:10:23,089 --> 00:10:24,751
about three blocks
from where you live.
203
00:10:26,659 --> 00:10:28,594
These bills trace
back to your bank.
204
00:10:28,962 --> 00:10:30,521
They were handed
out by the same teller
205
00:10:30,597 --> 00:10:32,429
on the same day
he gave you $500.
206
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:34,972
Now what do you bet we
find your prints on these
207
00:10:35,068 --> 00:10:37,936
and your DNA on
the stamp you licked?
208
00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:44,339
I felt sorry for that woman. I
wanted to help anonymously.
209
00:10:44,410 --> 00:10:46,038
Then why didn't you
come out and say so?
210
00:10:46,112 --> 00:10:47,808
You wrote that you
saw the little boy
211
00:10:47,881 --> 00:10:49,543
at the hospital
with his boots on.
212
00:10:49,749 --> 00:10:50,944
Where did you see that?
213
00:10:51,551 --> 00:10:52,678
On the news.
214
00:10:52,752 --> 00:10:54,516
He didn't have his
boots at the hospital.
215
00:10:55,288 --> 00:10:57,488
Maybe I read it. I don't remember.
- You're lying.
216
00:10:57,724 --> 00:10:59,249
You were there at the accident.
217
00:10:59,359 --> 00:11:00,850
No. BRISCOE: Why
are you covering up?
218
00:11:00,927 --> 00:11:02,520
What are you afraid of? Nothing.
219
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:03,675
I have to get back to work.
220
00:11:03,730 --> 00:11:04,890
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
221
00:11:05,031 --> 00:11:08,058
What's this bruise here? That
looks like it could be from a seat belt.
222
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,168
No. I fell.
223
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:10,794
You were in the
car, weren't you? No.
224
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:13,249
You might not have been driving,
but you were in the damn car.
225
00:11:13,273 --> 00:11:15,139
That's crazy. Now,
please... Look at this!
226
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:18,311
That's a picture of the
little boy in the morgue.
227
00:11:18,444 --> 00:11:22,575
Take a look. Look at what
happened to him. Look at it, damn you!
228
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:31,992
That's one way to get
her to spill her guts.
229
00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:33,987
She knows who was driving.
230
00:11:34,093 --> 00:11:37,120
And unless she wants to tell
us, we can't force it out of her.
231
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:39,531
I want to leave now.
232
00:11:39,599 --> 00:11:40,623
You're sure?
233
00:11:41,634 --> 00:11:44,160
Please, I don't know
anything. I wasn't there.
234
00:11:48,608 --> 00:11:50,133
Her bruise is on the right side.
235
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,678
That puts her in
the passenger seat.
236
00:11:52,212 --> 00:11:53,889
She have any connection
to the Lavalle family?
237
00:11:53,913 --> 00:11:57,748
They never heard of her. By the
way, both the Lavalle kids are alibied.
238
00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:59,628
We checked her
LUDs for the last month,
239
00:11:59,652 --> 00:12:01,848
nothing jumps out that
traces to the Lavalles.
240
00:12:02,488 --> 00:12:04,116
So it could be just an accident.
241
00:12:06,192 --> 00:12:08,593
Three people run down?
To you that's just an accident?
242
00:12:09,262 --> 00:12:12,460
Can't we put some paper on
Ms. Young and force her to talk?
243
00:12:12,532 --> 00:12:14,967
We subpoena her to the grand
jury, she'll ask for immunity.
244
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:16,712
Until we know
how she's involved,
245
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,102
I don't want to give it to her.
246
00:12:19,906 --> 00:12:22,187
If you keep the pressure up,
you think she'll come around?
247
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:24,502
We'll lean on her just
as hard as you let us.
248
00:12:26,546 --> 00:12:28,186
You sure she didn't
come in the back door?
249
00:12:28,214 --> 00:12:31,048
Maybe she hit a shoe sale on her
way back from work. I don't know.
250
00:12:31,517 --> 00:12:32,712
Thanks.
251
00:12:36,422 --> 00:12:38,448
Hey, why don't we grab
some food and come back?
252
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:39,802
No. Let's give it
another 10 minutes.
253
00:12:39,826 --> 00:12:42,227
I want her to see us
when she gets here.
254
00:12:42,662 --> 00:12:44,702
You know, I got in touch
with Mrs. Galvez yesterday?
255
00:12:45,064 --> 00:12:46,760
She has to move
in with her mother.
256
00:12:46,833 --> 00:12:48,461
She can't manage
without her husband.
257
00:12:50,603 --> 00:12:53,835
You know what you do, Rey? Grab
all the life insurance you can afford.
258
00:12:54,140 --> 00:12:56,268
Davey says you're
waiting for Ms. Young?
259
00:12:56,342 --> 00:12:57,901
She left last night
with a suitcase.
260
00:12:57,977 --> 00:12:59,605
Said she'd be gone
for a couple of weeks.
261
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,806
Did she say where?
262
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,180
No. Sometimes she stays at her
boyfriend's when he's out of town.
263
00:13:04,617 --> 00:13:06,176
Where does he
live? I wouldn't know.
264
00:13:06,252 --> 00:13:07,311
Name?
265
00:13:07,387 --> 00:13:08,507
I wouldn't know that either.
266
00:13:10,089 --> 00:13:12,524
Her office says she's
at her sister's in Groton.
267
00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:15,094
Her boyfriend who travels?
268
00:13:15,161 --> 00:13:17,153
Look at her LUDs for the
week before the accident.
269
00:13:17,597 --> 00:13:19,498
See these calls
to Rio de Janeiro?
270
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,533
Every night. Minimum
of 20 minutes.
271
00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:23,200
Expensive heavy breathing.
272
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,295
Last call was made
Saturday afternoon.
273
00:13:25,371 --> 00:13:27,340
So the boyfriend
flew back Sunday.
274
00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:29,437
The accident was
near the Triborough.
275
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:31,186
So if they were
coming from the airport,
276
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:32,488
they might've
crossed the bridge.
277
00:13:32,512 --> 00:13:34,879
What? She picked him
up? She doesn't have a car.
278
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:36,472
Maybe he does.
279
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:43,321
The new-guy shift, Saturday
10:00 p.m. to Sunday 6:00.
280
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:46,922
Really cuts into my booty time.
281
00:13:48,127 --> 00:13:50,528
Two weeks ago Sunday,
the flight from Rio.
282
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:52,450
You remember her with
one of the passengers?
283
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:54,390
Yeah, sure.
284
00:13:54,734 --> 00:13:57,465
Yeah? 30,000 people
later, you remember her.
285
00:13:57,537 --> 00:13:59,802
I remember the belligerent
fool she was with.
286
00:14:00,073 --> 00:14:01,939
Kept lighting up in
the no-smoke zone.
287
00:14:02,041 --> 00:14:03,236
You talked to him?
288
00:14:03,309 --> 00:14:05,039
I talked, he yelled.
289
00:14:05,411 --> 00:14:07,573
Customs was ready to
take him for a cavity search
290
00:14:07,647 --> 00:14:08,945
'cause he pissed them off.
291
00:14:09,215 --> 00:14:10,774
Gave his lady a hard time, too.
292
00:14:11,150 --> 00:14:12,846
What was his problem?
293
00:14:12,985 --> 00:14:14,681
You could smell
his problem, scotch.
294
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:16,484
So he was drunk?
295
00:14:16,556 --> 00:14:17,996
Unless he uses
the stuff for cologne.
296
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:20,151
You remember his name?
297
00:14:20,226 --> 00:14:21,489
I wrote him up in my report.
298
00:14:22,995 --> 00:14:24,759
His name's Bernard Dressler.
299
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:27,665
His credit card company
confirms he was at the hotel in Rio.
300
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:30,970
Damn! It ate my quarter.
301
00:14:33,873 --> 00:14:35,535
His name's also on Young's LUDs
302
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,236
the whole month
before the accident.
303
00:14:37,310 --> 00:14:38,835
Now she hasn't called him since.
304
00:14:38,945 --> 00:14:40,914
Look. Downtown is
sweating my budget,
305
00:14:40,980 --> 00:14:43,415
their way of saying how much
they appreciate my lawsuit.
306
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:46,379
So solve this quick
or hand it off to AIU.
307
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:50,487
Hey, I ran Dressler through
DMV, he owns a black ' 92 Jag.
308
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:52,620
Consistent with the
bruises on the bodies.
309
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:56,457
And get this, he has two moving
violations and a DWI from last year.
310
00:14:56,529 --> 00:15:00,261
Six months’ probation, 12 hours
drunk school and no suspension?
311
00:15:00,333 --> 00:15:01,494
Must've had some lawyer.
312
00:15:01,567 --> 00:15:03,934
He better hope his
lawyer hasn't retired.
313
00:15:07,907 --> 00:15:10,502
I had a couple of drinks, then
I went to sleep. I wasn't drunk.
314
00:15:10,943 --> 00:15:13,276
Airport security said
you were quite a handful.
315
00:15:13,346 --> 00:15:16,077
You do 11 hours on a plane
and see how chipper you feel.
316
00:15:16,315 --> 00:15:19,911
Dena, get me David Feist in
Bonn. Try the home number first.
317
00:15:20,219 --> 00:15:21,530
How'd you get home
from the airport?
318
00:15:21,554 --> 00:15:22,783
Cab. Why?
319
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:24,351
You know Susan Young?
320
00:15:24,424 --> 00:15:25,501
What's she have to do with this?
321
00:15:25,525 --> 00:15:26,802
She picked you up
from the airport, right?
322
00:15:26,826 --> 00:15:27,850
No.
323
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,428
Somebody saw you with her.
324
00:15:29,495 --> 00:15:30,929
With a blond, it wasn't Susan.
325
00:15:31,631 --> 00:15:34,260
You want to stand still for a
minute. So who was the blond?
326
00:15:34,700 --> 00:15:40,162
It was another passenger, somebody
wanting to split cab fare to Islip.
327
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:42,674
Tell me. Really.
This isn't about me
328
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:44,608
causing a disturbance
at the airport, is it?
329
00:15:44,844 --> 00:15:46,870
That Sunday morning,
three pedestrians
330
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:48,915
were killed by a
hit-and-run driver.
331
00:15:49,248 --> 00:15:51,114
We think Ms. Young had
something to do with it.
332
00:15:51,184 --> 00:15:52,948
That's not possible.
333
00:15:53,019 --> 00:15:54,539
Have you talked to her lately?
334
00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:57,756
No. Things were cooling
off before I went to Rio
335
00:15:57,824 --> 00:15:59,122
and we haven't connected since.
336
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:00,591
You still own a Jaguar?
337
00:16:01,060 --> 00:16:02,060
Yeah.
338
00:16:02,128 --> 00:16:03,619
You still drinking and driving?
339
00:16:04,964 --> 00:16:06,557
That's very funny. I
learned my lesson.
340
00:16:06,632 --> 00:16:07,793
Good for you.
341
00:16:08,367 --> 00:16:11,166
So, would you mind if we
had our lab check your car?
342
00:16:12,672 --> 00:16:13,901
If I said no?
343
00:16:13,973 --> 00:16:15,305
We find a judge to say yes.
344
00:16:16,609 --> 00:16:20,603
Okay, but I'm calling my lawyer.
345
00:16:22,715 --> 00:16:23,992
Dena will show you
where it's parked.
346
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:25,848
And if you
scratch it, you fix it.
347
00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:31,600
A car hits a body, something
from that body's gonna get sucked
348
00:16:31,624 --> 00:16:34,651
into the engine compartment.
Hair, skin, fiber, blood.
349
00:16:34,894 --> 00:16:36,071
There's nothing like that here.
350
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:37,154
You sure this is his car?
351
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:39,864
The VIN numbers from the dash,
the frame and the engine block
352
00:16:39,932 --> 00:16:41,730
all match his registration.
353
00:16:41,801 --> 00:16:44,498
Also didn't find any damage
or any evidence it had work.
354
00:16:44,670 --> 00:16:46,982
That's too bad. I was looking
forward to hooking up this guy.
355
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:50,943
Fred, I checked
the fourth VIN tag.
356
00:16:51,911 --> 00:16:53,388
Everybody thinks
there's just three,
357
00:16:53,412 --> 00:16:55,540
only the manufacturer
knows where the fourth one is,
358
00:16:55,681 --> 00:16:56,876
and they only tell the FBI.
359
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:58,149
It's different on every model.
360
00:16:58,184 --> 00:16:59,461
This one's on the
inside of the floor pan.
361
00:16:59,485 --> 00:17:01,818
I had to drill a hole and use
a dentist's mirror to see it.
362
00:17:01,888 --> 00:17:03,232
And it doesn't
match the other three.
363
00:17:03,256 --> 00:17:04,485
So this isn't his car?
364
00:17:04,557 --> 00:17:07,288
Same model, same year,
same color. It's not his.
365
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:10,387
He probably got this one from a
dealer and switched the VIN tags.
366
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,029
Any way to tell who had
this car before Dressler?
367
00:17:18,004 --> 00:17:20,906
Yes. We have a car with
that VIN number. It's a '92 Jag.
368
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:22,540
It hasn't been sold?
369
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:23,667
No.
370
00:17:25,278 --> 00:17:28,874
Not even to a Bernard Dressler?
371
00:17:29,916 --> 00:17:31,009
No.
372
00:17:31,584 --> 00:17:33,780
So, the car is here?
373
00:17:35,655 --> 00:17:37,232
All these cars have
been cleared for export.
374
00:17:37,256 --> 00:17:38,724
I mean, they're
fully documented.
375
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:41,417
Big market for used
Jaguars in Russia?
376
00:17:41,961 --> 00:17:43,759
Used everything. The
VIN numbers match.
377
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:47,796
The right fender's new.
378
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:50,359
The grille's new. The paint's
new. Bumper's been replaced.
379
00:17:50,836 --> 00:17:52,395
Right spoiler bracket's bent.
380
00:17:52,471 --> 00:17:53,734
This is your killer, gentlemen.
381
00:17:54,173 --> 00:17:56,904
Time to come
clean, Mr. Pettijohn.
382
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:58,877
Did you trade cars
with Bernie Dressler?
383
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:01,580
His bank issues me
letters of credit, okay?
384
00:18:01,647 --> 00:18:02,979
Without them, I'm
out of business.
385
00:18:03,516 --> 00:18:04,916
You're out of business now.
386
00:18:07,186 --> 00:18:08,297
You want to step
away from the desk?
387
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:09,345
What's going on?
388
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:12,017
Your car came back from
Russia, Bernie, with love.
389
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,435
Bernard Dressler,
you're under arrest
390
00:18:13,459 --> 00:18:15,928
for the deaths of Peter Lavalle,
and Leon and Max Galvez.
391
00:18:16,329 --> 00:18:18,389
Wait. Get away from
me. Hey! Get off me...
392
00:18:18,464 --> 00:18:20,262
Take it easy, Bernie!
Hey! Let me go!
393
00:18:20,333 --> 00:18:21,596
I said give it up!
394
00:18:22,868 --> 00:18:24,846
You bastards. CURTIS: You
have the right to remain silent.
395
00:18:24,870 --> 00:18:26,448
You stupid bastards!
Anything you say can
396
00:18:26,472 --> 00:18:28,532
and will be used against
you in a court of law.
397
00:18:31,911 --> 00:18:34,380
$1 million for vehicular
manslaughter two?
398
00:18:34,447 --> 00:18:35,757
These are "D"
felonies, Your Honor.
399
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:37,059
Their case is nothing but fumes.
400
00:18:37,083 --> 00:18:38,923
There's no evidence my
client was at the scene.
401
00:18:38,951 --> 00:18:40,283
There's evidence his car was.
402
00:18:40,353 --> 00:18:41,651
A bent fender bracket?
403
00:18:41,721 --> 00:18:43,098
They want to put
three bodies on my guy,
404
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:44,466
they'll have to do
better than that.
405
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:47,654
I don't want your client
joining his car in Russia.
406
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:50,128
Bail's set at $1 million.
407
00:18:53,499 --> 00:18:56,298
A million bucks. He must
like the cut of your skirt.
408
00:18:56,669 --> 00:18:58,535
From what I hear,
he'd prefer yours.
409
00:18:58,804 --> 00:19:01,933
"Docket number 026797."
410
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:04,910
Don't smile yet. It's the
work-up of Dressler's car.
411
00:19:05,378 --> 00:19:06,888
There's no physical
evidence of the victims.
412
00:19:06,912 --> 00:19:09,313
The car had been
steam-cleaned bumper-to-bumper.
413
00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:10,714
What about
Dressler's girlfriend?
414
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:12,143
Wasn't she with
him at the airport?
415
00:19:12,184 --> 00:19:13,413
That ID is soft.
416
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:15,430
The police showed the guard
another picture of Young,
417
00:19:15,454 --> 00:19:16,888
he wasn't so sure.
418
00:19:17,189 --> 00:19:19,624
So find somebody else
who saw them together.
419
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:21,554
Another passenger on the plane.
420
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:23,555
I'll subpoena the manifest.
421
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,329
The airline refuses to
comply with our subpoena.
422
00:19:26,499 --> 00:19:28,229
They're saying the
Warsaw Convention
423
00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:29,980
protects them from
actions by state courts.
424
00:19:30,302 --> 00:19:32,498
They poured the booze
that got Dressler drunk.
425
00:19:32,672 --> 00:19:34,106
They're afraid of getting sued.
426
00:19:34,373 --> 00:19:36,274
They're right about
the Warsaw Convention.
427
00:19:36,442 --> 00:19:37,802
The only place we
can bring process
428
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:39,141
against them is
in federal court.
429
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:41,276
Then go ahead, do it. I did.
430
00:19:41,547 --> 00:19:43,880
The US Attorney doesn't
think a couple of "D" felonies
431
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:45,315
warrant their attention.
432
00:19:45,685 --> 00:19:46,885
The airlines has offices here?
433
00:19:46,919 --> 00:19:48,046
Three.
434
00:19:48,554 --> 00:19:50,853
They won't honor our subpoenas,
435
00:19:53,092 --> 00:19:54,890
seize their
furniture, computers,
436
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,724
whatever you can
lay your hands on.
437
00:19:56,796 --> 00:19:58,424
Smack them around.
438
00:20:03,235 --> 00:20:07,366
They shut down our ticket offices.
They took files, they took computer disks.
439
00:20:07,473 --> 00:20:08,941
You can't imagine our losses.
440
00:20:09,008 --> 00:20:11,170
We served them with a
subpoena for a flight manifest.
441
00:20:11,243 --> 00:20:14,270
They refused to honor it. A
search warrant's our only recourse.
442
00:20:14,346 --> 00:20:15,507
Mr. Fischer,
443
00:20:15,581 --> 00:20:17,880
why doesn't VIA airlines
simply give them what they want?
444
00:20:17,950 --> 00:20:19,646
Judge Feldman,
according to the terms
445
00:20:19,719 --> 00:20:21,654
of the Warsaw Convention,
we don't have to.
446
00:20:21,754 --> 00:20:25,088
The spirit of the convention
is to limit liability in civil suits.
447
00:20:25,157 --> 00:20:27,717
It's not meant as a shield
in criminal investigations.
448
00:20:27,793 --> 00:20:29,989
Lawsuits are exactly
what we're trying to limit.
449
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:33,032
The search warrants are valid on
their face. I see no reason to void them.
450
00:20:33,099 --> 00:20:34,099
Your Honor, I...
451
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,101
Either you comply
with their subpoena,
452
00:20:36,168 --> 00:20:38,137
or lawsuits will be the
least of your worries.
453
00:20:42,108 --> 00:20:44,976
The manifest will be on
Mr. McCoy's fax machine in an hour.
454
00:20:45,578 --> 00:20:47,479
Thank you. Thank you.
455
00:20:49,582 --> 00:20:51,073
Oh, Mr. McCoy,
456
00:20:55,988 --> 00:20:57,188
you know, it's not an accident
457
00:20:57,223 --> 00:20:59,385
that this case was
assigned to me.
458
00:20:59,692 --> 00:21:02,594
I believe drunk driving to
be a plague on our society.
459
00:21:03,462 --> 00:21:05,454
If you hit any snags,
you let me know.
460
00:21:11,137 --> 00:21:13,129
Sounds like the makings
of a stump speech.
461
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:15,936
It is. He's planning a run
for Adam's job next spring.
462
00:21:16,142 --> 00:21:18,236
And drunk driving is the
cause he's embracing?
463
00:21:18,310 --> 00:21:19,835
It's not world peace.
464
00:21:20,513 --> 00:21:22,880
Shouldn't Dressler's lawyer
know about Feldman's bias?
465
00:21:23,415 --> 00:21:24,974
I'm not gonna tell him.
466
00:21:26,252 --> 00:21:29,313
Come on, Jamie, a judge with
an agenda, this is news to you?
467
00:21:35,694 --> 00:21:39,631
Dressler, yeah. That loudmouth,
he complained about the food,
468
00:21:39,698 --> 00:21:41,564
the wine selection, the service.
469
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:44,062
What did he think it
was, Lutèce up there?
470
00:21:44,136 --> 00:21:45,502
Do you know how much he drank?
471
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,505
No. But every time I looked
over, he had a drink in his hand.
472
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:49,867
And?
473
00:21:51,243 --> 00:21:54,873
Yeah, that's her. Yeah. I saw
them leave the terminal together.
474
00:21:55,047 --> 00:21:56,140
Why did you notice them?
475
00:21:56,215 --> 00:21:57,274
It was hard not to.
476
00:21:58,117 --> 00:22:00,279
That poor woman,
he was bellowing
477
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:02,446
and gesticulating
at her. A real bully.
478
00:22:03,455 --> 00:22:04,479
Thank you for coming in.
479
00:22:04,557 --> 00:22:05,557
Thanks.
480
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:10,888
Okay. That's three passengers
who saw them together.
481
00:22:10,963 --> 00:22:12,295
What about flight attendants?
482
00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:14,731
Two in first class. They're
both in South America.
483
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,065
The airline will let us know
next time they're in town.
484
00:22:17,937 --> 00:22:19,371
How about Ms. Young?
485
00:22:19,905 --> 00:22:21,430
I didn't go out all morning.
486
00:22:21,907 --> 00:22:23,867
I don't know how Bernie
got home from the airport.
487
00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:26,305
Three people saw you with him.
488
00:22:26,812 --> 00:22:29,145
Look, you're here under
a material witness warrant.
489
00:22:29,215 --> 00:22:31,616
That means we keep
you until you cooperate.
490
00:22:31,851 --> 00:22:35,151
You'll be in the tombs with
crack addicts and prostitutes
491
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:36,550
for as long as it takes.
492
00:22:36,622 --> 00:22:39,285
It gets worse. We can place
you and Mr. Dressler in the car.
493
00:22:40,192 --> 00:22:41,990
I don't care which
one of you was driving.
494
00:22:42,161 --> 00:22:44,858
This is a triple homicide and
somebody's going to pay for it.
495
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,362
We can give you
protection, Ms. Young.
496
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:50,002
Once he's convicted and
sent to prison, he can't hurt you.
497
00:22:51,237 --> 00:22:53,069
What if he doesn't go to prison?
498
00:22:53,806 --> 00:22:56,105
He's gotten off before,
in Massachusetts.
499
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:58,676
He hit a teenage
girl. He told me.
500
00:22:59,578 --> 00:23:02,309
You get us the evidence,
this time he goes to jail.
501
00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:05,510
Look, as bad as you
feel about that little boy,
502
00:23:06,318 --> 00:23:08,810
how you gonna feel the
next time he kills somebody?
503
00:23:17,563 --> 00:23:21,295
I wasn't home one night when
Bernie called me from Rio.
504
00:23:23,836 --> 00:23:28,706
He thought I was with
someone else. He was furious.
505
00:23:30,175 --> 00:23:32,804
As soon as he saw me at
the airport, he started ranting.
506
00:23:32,878 --> 00:23:34,642
He grabbed the keys.
507
00:23:38,217 --> 00:23:41,119
He yelled at me the
whole way into the city.
508
00:23:44,556 --> 00:23:47,424
He said if he found out
who I was with, he'd kill them.
509
00:23:48,027 --> 00:23:51,828
He didn't think I believed
him. Then we saw the old man.
510
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,663
I yelled at Bernie to stop.
511
00:24:02,374 --> 00:24:04,741
But he sped up right into him.
512
00:24:05,010 --> 00:24:06,876
He killed Mr. Lavalle
on purpose?
513
00:24:09,081 --> 00:24:11,414
I don't know, I can't imagine...
514
00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:14,017
What about the other two?
515
00:24:16,655 --> 00:24:19,523
The little boy,
516
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:22,652
his father stepped into the
street and waved at us to stop.
517
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:25,888
Bernie didn't even
try to miss them.
518
00:24:28,167 --> 00:24:29,829
How drunk was he?
519
00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:34,230
I don't know. I can
never tell with Bernie.
520
00:24:36,842 --> 00:24:38,674
I never know what
he's going to do.
521
00:24:41,780 --> 00:24:44,079
Dressler keeps a country
house in East Lenox.
522
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:45,913
He ran a red light
there two years ago,
523
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:47,647
hit a little girl on a bicycle.
524
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:49,885
She spent eight
months in the hospital.
525
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:51,913
Why didn't the police know?
526
00:24:51,991 --> 00:24:53,425
It's not on his record here.
527
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:57,623
He has two driver's licenses, one in
New York and one in Massachusetts.
528
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,755
The judge there
suspended his license
529
00:24:59,832 --> 00:25:01,425
for five years because
of the accident.
530
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:04,335
Which automatically suspends
his driving privileges here.
531
00:25:04,403 --> 00:25:07,567
That ups the charge to first
degree vehicular manslaughter.
532
00:25:07,706 --> 00:25:11,268
Not enough. We're gonna
make an example of Mr. Dressler.
533
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:13,502
What do you have in mind?
534
00:25:13,579 --> 00:25:15,138
This was a multiple killing.
535
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:17,510
First degree murder.
536
00:25:19,785 --> 00:25:21,481
Murder one requires intent.
537
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,319
He accelerated into one victim.
538
00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:31,920
He made no effort to avoid
two others. That's intent.
539
00:25:32,264 --> 00:25:33,527
Not if he was drunk.
540
00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:35,830
Maybe he meant to hit the
brakes instead of the gas?
541
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:38,266
A couple of drinks
don't negate intent.
542
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:39,781
But we don't know how
much he had to drink.
543
00:25:39,805 --> 00:25:42,434
If we don't know, the
grand jury won't either.
544
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:44,675
But at trial the...
545
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:47,474
Get an indictment.
Scare the pants off him.
546
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:52,676
Maybe he pleads to murder
two. We've sent a message.
547
00:25:59,691 --> 00:26:03,787
First Feldman, now Adam. The
bandwagon's getting crowded.
548
00:26:04,763 --> 00:26:07,824
I agree with Adam. And
I'm not running for anything.
549
00:26:11,804 --> 00:26:14,603
Murder one? Where the
hell is this murder one? Iran?
550
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:16,574
Try section seven
sub-section one,
551
00:26:16,642 --> 00:26:18,508
paragraph eight of the statute.
552
00:26:19,511 --> 00:26:20,979
He took three lives with intent.
553
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:22,537
He wasn't even in the car.
554
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:24,048
Not according to his girlfriend.
555
00:26:24,116 --> 00:26:26,381
What, that bitch? How do
you know she wasn't driving?
556
00:26:26,718 --> 00:26:29,119
We believe her.
We don't believe you.
557
00:26:29,221 --> 00:26:31,656
I still don't see an
intentional murder.
558
00:26:32,324 --> 00:26:35,123
Two witnesses saw him
accelerate into Mr. Lavalle.
559
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:39,588
Given your client's driving
record, here and in Massachusetts,
560
00:26:39,998 --> 00:26:42,524
a jury's not going to
split hairs over intent.
561
00:26:42,601 --> 00:26:46,265
This is nuts. You want to
give me the death penalty?
562
00:26:46,939 --> 00:26:49,773
Unless you plead to
second degree murder.
563
00:26:50,642 --> 00:26:51,701
What's that?
564
00:26:52,177 --> 00:26:54,203
Twenty-five-to-life.
565
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,114
God. Bernie.
566
00:27:04,690 --> 00:27:06,690
Didn't any of your witnesses
tell you he was drunk?
567
00:27:06,892 --> 00:27:09,589
They saw him with a drink.
Doesn't make him legally intoxicated.
568
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:11,942
The flight attendant who served
him knows how much he had.
569
00:27:11,997 --> 00:27:13,226
I stopped counting at 12.
570
00:27:13,298 --> 00:27:14,630
Puts him well
over the legal limit
571
00:27:14,700 --> 00:27:16,498
and well beyond the
ability to form intent.
572
00:27:16,902 --> 00:27:19,701
Even if he was driving, we're
back to vehicular manslaughter.
573
00:27:22,174 --> 00:27:23,437
There's nothing in Westlaw.
574
00:27:23,542 --> 00:27:26,011
If it was two or three drinks,
we could still argue intent,
575
00:27:26,078 --> 00:27:28,047
but 12... According to him.
576
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,724
If he can prove it,
he's off the hook.
577
00:27:29,748 --> 00:27:31,944
He kills three people
and hides behind a bottle.
578
00:27:32,284 --> 00:27:33,912
The law says he can.
579
00:27:34,019 --> 00:27:36,648
The law. Probably written
on a cocktail napkin.
580
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:38,654
Intent follows the
bullet. It shouldn't matter
581
00:27:38,724 --> 00:27:41,091
if it was fired by a
drunk or by Carry Nation.
582
00:27:41,693 --> 00:27:43,218
The airline's lawyer called.
583
00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:45,196
Dressler's flight attendant's
coming in tonight.
584
00:27:48,333 --> 00:27:50,700
I served Mr. Dressler
fifteen drinks.
585
00:27:51,303 --> 00:27:53,067
We ran out of
scotch in first class
586
00:27:53,138 --> 00:27:54,868
so I took some
bottles from coach.
587
00:27:55,607 --> 00:27:57,098
How was he behaving?
588
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:58,644
He was difficult.
589
00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:00,802
Was he drunk?
590
00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:03,274
He wasn't climbing
on the beverage cart.
591
00:28:03,348 --> 00:28:06,546
But he slurred his words,
spilled a drink on himself.
592
00:28:07,553 --> 00:28:10,580
I had to fill out his
Customs declaration for him.
593
00:28:10,923 --> 00:28:12,516
He couldn't even sign his name.
594
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:16,185
Thank you, Ms. Barra.
595
00:28:16,261 --> 00:28:18,628
Mr. Fischer, can we have
a word with you outside?
596
00:28:19,531 --> 00:28:22,467
We want fair warning
before she testifies.
597
00:28:22,734 --> 00:28:25,169
This case is already front
page of the Daily News.
598
00:28:25,404 --> 00:28:28,636
I appreciate Ms. Barra's
testimony might prove embarrassing.
599
00:28:29,208 --> 00:28:31,643
I see here she's a
Colombian national.
600
00:28:31,710 --> 00:28:34,646
You realize, as long as she
doesn't return to this country,
601
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,079
she can't be
compelled to testify.
602
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:37,480
The District
Attorney's authority
603
00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:39,484
doesn't extend to
foreign citizens abroad.
604
00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:45,617
What the hell are you doing?
605
00:28:46,191 --> 00:28:47,735
You don't want Dressler
to prove how drunk he was,
606
00:28:47,759 --> 00:28:49,404
so you're telling a witness
to leave the country?
607
00:28:49,428 --> 00:28:51,226
Don't worry about it.
608
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:55,161
The airline's giving
me the run-around.
609
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:56,497
They said she's been reassigned
610
00:28:56,568 --> 00:28:58,366
to the Bogotá-Buenos
Aires route.
611
00:28:58,437 --> 00:28:59,814
Why tell me? I know
you talked to her.
612
00:28:59,838 --> 00:29:00,862
Did you take a statement?
613
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:02,874
I've complied with
Rosario, Brady
614
00:29:02,941 --> 00:29:04,967
and all relevant
discovery procedures.
615
00:29:05,177 --> 00:29:07,806
Whatever she said, if she
said it, is not discoverable.
616
00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:10,212
I don't know what
you're up to, McCoy,
617
00:29:10,682 --> 00:29:12,722
but I'm gonna compel you
to turn over her statement.
618
00:29:12,818 --> 00:29:14,787
Knock yourself out.
619
00:29:16,822 --> 00:29:19,382
Ms. Barra's a witness. If she
gave Mr. McCoy a statement,
620
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:20,790
I'm entitled to it.
621
00:29:21,326 --> 00:29:22,419
She's not our witness.
622
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:25,157
If Mr. Billings wants her to be
his witness, he can subpoena her.
623
00:29:25,631 --> 00:29:26,963
Beside the point.
624
00:29:27,032 --> 00:29:30,059
I believe Mr. McCoy has a
statement that exculpates my client.
625
00:29:30,202 --> 00:29:31,813
I don't believe it
does, Your Honor.
626
00:29:31,837 --> 00:29:35,296
Mr. McCoy, do you have
her statement in writing?
627
00:29:35,374 --> 00:29:37,172
Yes. May I see it, please?
628
00:29:42,347 --> 00:29:43,747
Thank you.
629
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:53,817
I don't see anything
here, Mr. Billings.
630
00:29:54,493 --> 00:29:56,333
I'd like to see it, Your
Honor. I already have.
631
00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:59,821
I've made my ruling. Your
motion to compel is denied.
632
00:30:01,933 --> 00:30:04,562
She told us he drank enough
booze to float the Queen Mary.
633
00:30:04,636 --> 00:30:06,002
Her statement is exculpatory.
634
00:30:06,071 --> 00:30:07,266
Only if Feldman says it is.
635
00:30:07,339 --> 00:30:09,968
Jack, I know his
agenda. What's yours?
636
00:30:10,075 --> 00:30:13,102
The maximum penalty for first
degree vehicular manslaughter
637
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:14,669
is 5 to 15 years.
638
00:30:15,013 --> 00:30:17,005
Put a girl in a coma,
killed three people,
639
00:30:17,082 --> 00:30:18,550
and he walks away
with five years?
640
00:30:18,617 --> 00:30:20,449
He isn't even
sorry. It isn't justice.
641
00:30:20,519 --> 00:30:23,353
Neither is concealing evidence.
You could get disbarred.
642
00:30:24,523 --> 00:30:27,015
That's up to you. This
is what I'm gonna do.
643
00:30:32,064 --> 00:30:33,541
We looked at a number of factors
644
00:30:33,565 --> 00:30:34,965
to determine the
force at impact.
645
00:30:35,634 --> 00:30:37,398
For example, we know
that a human thigh bone
646
00:30:37,469 --> 00:30:39,938
breaks under 1,100 pounds
of pressure per square inch.
647
00:30:40,105 --> 00:30:41,630
As a result of
your calculations,
648
00:30:41,707 --> 00:30:43,733
can you tell us how
fast Mr. Dressler's car
649
00:30:43,809 --> 00:30:45,607
car was traveling when
it struck Mr. Lavalle?
650
00:30:46,445 --> 00:30:50,439
Yes. The car was moving in
excess of 30 to 35 miles per hour.
651
00:30:51,183 --> 00:30:53,743
What, if any,
evidence did you find
652
00:30:53,885 --> 00:30:56,650
that Mr. Dressler tried to
avoid hitting his victims?
653
00:30:57,789 --> 00:31:01,055
None. There were no
skid marks, no yaw marks.
654
00:31:01,326 --> 00:31:03,295
All three victims
were struck head-on.
655
00:31:03,362 --> 00:31:04,625
Thank you.
656
00:31:07,466 --> 00:31:10,732
Detective Norris, isn't it
common not to find skid marks
657
00:31:10,802 --> 00:31:12,270
in drunk-driving accidents?
658
00:31:12,337 --> 00:31:15,364
Objection. The defendant is
not charged with drunk driving.
659
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:16,872
Sustained.
660
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:21,443
Detective, is it unusual
for an intoxicated driver
661
00:31:21,513 --> 00:31:23,744
to step on the accelerator
when he intended to...
662
00:31:23,815 --> 00:31:24,815
Objection.
663
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:26,150
Sustained.
664
00:31:29,654 --> 00:31:33,113
Let's talk reaction times,
detective. Sober versus intoxicated...
665
00:31:33,425 --> 00:31:34,757
Sustained.
666
00:31:36,895 --> 00:31:40,798
Mr. Billings, next question.
667
00:31:42,501 --> 00:31:43,662
No more questions.
668
00:31:49,674 --> 00:31:53,111
The write-up of the interview
with Ms. Young has a TPO glitch.
669
00:31:53,178 --> 00:31:56,205
The accident was at 6:10,
Rey wrote down 16:10.
670
00:31:56,681 --> 00:31:59,515
I'll mention it to Jack.
I think we're done.
671
00:32:05,457 --> 00:32:07,187
Has he talked to
you about this case?
672
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,586
McCoy? Yeah.
Briefings, witness preps...
673
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:13,392
I don't mean that.
674
00:32:16,501 --> 00:32:20,233
You mean, has he said,
"This one's for Claire Kincaid"?
675
00:32:20,705 --> 00:32:21,934
No.
676
00:32:22,574 --> 00:32:25,203
That guy got 12 months
at Mount McGregor.
677
00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:28,936
Yeah, I know. I pulled the file.
You were in the car with her.
678
00:32:31,716 --> 00:32:33,150
Yeah. I was
catching a ride home.
679
00:32:34,586 --> 00:32:37,988
Claire came down to the bar to
pick up McCoy, he'd already split.
680
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:41,120
Bad timing all around.
681
00:32:42,661 --> 00:32:44,254
Listen, this hump Dressler,
682
00:32:44,329 --> 00:32:46,560
I'm keeping them crossed
he gets what he deserves.
683
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:59,043
I told him to stop, to help
those people. He kept driving.
684
00:33:00,045 --> 00:33:02,674
He dropped me
off at my apartment.
685
00:33:02,747 --> 00:33:04,272
I don't know what
he did after that.
686
00:33:05,083 --> 00:33:07,177
What, if anything, did he
say to you before he left?
687
00:33:07,285 --> 00:33:08,719
Objection. JUDGE
FELDMAN: Overruled.
688
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:11,281
Please answer, Ms. Young.
689
00:33:11,490 --> 00:33:14,585
He told me that if I
said a word to anyone,
690
00:33:16,194 --> 00:33:18,095
I'd be as dead as
those three people.
691
00:33:18,163 --> 00:33:19,358
Thank you.
692
00:33:22,234 --> 00:33:26,535
You said Mr. Dressler accused
you of sleeping with another man
693
00:33:27,072 --> 00:33:30,702
and threatened to kill him.
Does he always behave this way?
694
00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,041
He's very possessive.
695
00:33:33,111 --> 00:33:36,479
But when he's drunk, his
jealousy's out of control, isn't it?
696
00:33:37,549 --> 00:33:38,573
It gets worse.
697
00:33:38,650 --> 00:33:40,551
He rants and raves,
he imagines things?
698
00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:42,086
Yes.
699
00:33:42,153 --> 00:33:44,679
Because in fact, you've never
been unfaithful to him, have you?
700
00:33:44,756 --> 00:33:45,756
No.
701
00:33:45,824 --> 00:33:49,090
So that morning when he
screamed and threatened,
702
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:51,906
he did so because he
was drunk, isn't that right?
703
00:33:51,930 --> 00:33:52,930
Objection.
704
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:54,064
Gentlemen.
705
00:33:59,938 --> 00:34:02,806
Your Honor, I'm establishing
a pattern of behavior.
706
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:06,038
When my client's drunk, he's
insanely jealous and delusional.
707
00:34:06,177 --> 00:34:07,201
So conversely,
708
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:09,390
when he's insanely jealous
and delusional, he's drunk.
709
00:34:09,414 --> 00:34:11,383
Ms. Young is an
accounts supervisor,
710
00:34:11,449 --> 00:34:13,384
she's not a behavioral
psychologist.
711
00:34:13,685 --> 00:34:16,450
My client's state of mind
is the crux of my case.
712
00:34:16,955 --> 00:34:20,255
Then get an expert. Your line
of questioning is inappropriate.
713
00:34:20,659 --> 00:34:22,150
Now step back.
714
00:34:23,862 --> 00:34:26,093
The jury will disregard
the witness' responses
715
00:34:26,164 --> 00:34:28,030
to Mr. Billings
in their entirety.
716
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:32,365
I have nothing more, Your Honor.
717
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:34,181
Court's recessed
until tomorrow morning.
718
00:34:38,209 --> 00:34:39,609
Lucky break.
719
00:34:41,980 --> 00:34:44,916
You made your point.
Man one on all counts.
720
00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:47,685
Not interested.
721
00:34:49,154 --> 00:34:50,554
Man one's a good offer.
722
00:34:51,356 --> 00:34:52,756
You want me to
call his lawyer back?
723
00:34:52,791 --> 00:34:54,487
Your case. Your idea.
724
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:56,255
I haven't seen the
fear in his eyes yet.
725
00:34:56,394 --> 00:34:59,387
This is People v. Dressler
you're trying, isn't it?
726
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:02,465
Long as we're on the same page.
727
00:35:06,037 --> 00:35:08,131
Are you just playing
chicken with Dressler, Jack?
728
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:10,341
Because it looks
like you and Feldman
729
00:35:10,408 --> 00:35:12,604
are tag-teaming to
commit legal murder.
730
00:35:13,178 --> 00:35:14,339
In your opinion.
731
00:35:14,446 --> 00:35:16,924
It's not even a fair fight. If
Dressler had the flight attendant...
732
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:19,417
She didn't force-feed
him that scotch
733
00:35:19,484 --> 00:35:21,009
or steer him into those people.
734
00:35:21,252 --> 00:35:23,448
He did that. He
punched the accelerator.
735
00:35:23,521 --> 00:35:25,183
Or he made a mistake! No!
736
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,783
Anyway, that's for
the jury to decide.
737
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:29,860
How can they?
738
00:35:29,928 --> 00:35:31,260
They don't have the whole story.
739
00:35:31,329 --> 00:35:32,695
You're making them accomplices.
740
00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:35,199
So I'm wrong because I
want an appropriate sentence?
741
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:38,735
Instead of 12 months
at Mount McGregor?
742
00:35:41,406 --> 00:35:43,204
You don't know what
you're talking about.
743
00:35:43,975 --> 00:35:45,341
You won, Jack.
744
00:35:46,011 --> 00:35:47,980
Just call Dressler's lawyer.
745
00:35:48,079 --> 00:35:49,123
The discussion is over, Jamie.
746
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:50,638
I'm not done! I am!
747
00:35:52,083 --> 00:35:55,952
This is the District Attorney's
office. We prosecute criminals.
748
00:35:56,221 --> 00:35:58,747
If you could stop thinking
like a defense attorney,
749
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:00,052
maybe you'd grasp the concept.
750
00:36:00,125 --> 00:36:01,855
I know why I'm here.
751
00:36:02,227 --> 00:36:03,957
I think you're the
one who's forgotten.
752
00:36:09,367 --> 00:36:11,529
The stewardess told me
that she ran out of scotch
753
00:36:12,971 --> 00:36:15,099
and I said I'd drink anything.
754
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:18,909
And so she went back
into coach and got more.
755
00:36:19,244 --> 00:36:21,577
How many drinks
had you had by then?
756
00:36:22,447 --> 00:36:23,608
Twelve.
757
00:36:26,051 --> 00:36:28,179
I'd lined the little
bottles up on the tray.
758
00:36:28,887 --> 00:36:33,621
I counted them. After that, I
don't remember much. Just flashes.
759
00:36:35,326 --> 00:36:38,819
Susan at the airport,
driving on the expressway.
760
00:36:44,302 --> 00:36:46,396
I often black out
when I drink too much.
761
00:36:46,805 --> 00:36:49,274
How about Mr. Lavalle,
762
00:36:49,340 --> 00:36:52,708
Mr. Galvez and his son, any
recollection of hitting them?
763
00:36:52,777 --> 00:36:53,870
No.
764
00:36:54,012 --> 00:36:55,913
I wish I could say I did.
765
00:36:58,450 --> 00:37:00,078
I'm very sorry I killed them.
766
00:37:04,489 --> 00:37:06,924
I swear I could never
kill anyone intentionally.
767
00:37:17,535 --> 00:37:19,003
Mr. Dressler,
768
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:25,109
you really don't remember
anything about that morning?
769
00:37:26,411 --> 00:37:27,470
No, I don't.
770
00:37:27,545 --> 00:37:30,709
You don't remember getting
behind the wheel of your car,
771
00:37:32,751 --> 00:37:35,687
even though your driving
privileges had been suspended?
772
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:37,755
No.
773
00:37:37,822 --> 00:37:41,315
Even though you'd run over
a young girl two years ago
774
00:37:41,392 --> 00:37:43,156
and put her in a coma?
775
00:37:43,294 --> 00:37:45,126
I told you, I don't remember.
776
00:37:45,497 --> 00:37:49,229
So, isn't it possible
at some point
777
00:37:49,801 --> 00:37:53,704
you decided to speed
up and kill Mr. Lavalle
778
00:37:53,772 --> 00:37:54,915
and you just don't remember it?
779
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:55,998
No!
780
00:37:56,341 --> 00:38:00,608
How can you be so sure, when
you don't remember anything?
781
00:38:00,845 --> 00:38:03,337
I swear if I did that
I'd remember it.
782
00:38:03,414 --> 00:38:04,414
How?
783
00:38:07,619 --> 00:38:10,612
You don't even remember
killing Peter Lavalle
784
00:38:20,932 --> 00:38:22,491
or Leon Galvez
785
00:38:31,476 --> 00:38:32,705
or Max Galvez.
786
00:38:42,053 --> 00:38:44,318
You don't remember
them at all, do you?
787
00:38:54,966 --> 00:38:56,366
God.
788
00:38:58,603 --> 00:39:00,003
I didn't mean to.
789
00:39:02,540 --> 00:39:04,099
I was so drunk.
790
00:39:08,413 --> 00:39:12,578
I swear. I'm not a monster.
791
00:39:17,255 --> 00:39:19,850
Please forgive me.
792
00:39:22,994 --> 00:39:24,018
Please?
793
00:39:46,284 --> 00:39:48,753
Mr. Dressler, we
have only your word
794
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:53,957
that you drank upwards of 12
scotches on the plane, is that right?
795
00:39:57,095 --> 00:39:58,154
Yes.
796
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:01,762
Do you know that
you were so drunk
797
00:40:02,934 --> 00:40:04,960
that you couldn't
sign your own name
798
00:40:05,036 --> 00:40:07,028
to a Customs declaration form?
799
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:12,674
Mr. McCoy, what's the
basis for your question?
800
00:40:17,215 --> 00:40:19,810
I'm offering People's
43 for identification.
801
00:40:20,451 --> 00:40:21,612
Let me see it.
802
00:40:37,902 --> 00:40:40,235
I really don't like
surprises, Mr. McCoy!
803
00:40:40,305 --> 00:40:42,103
May I see the
evidence, Your Honor?
804
00:40:42,173 --> 00:40:43,505
Sure.
805
00:40:47,111 --> 00:40:49,580
This is the statement you
got from the flight attendant?
806
00:40:50,081 --> 00:40:51,105
Yes.
807
00:40:52,083 --> 00:40:54,211
Your Honor, I have no objection.
808
00:40:54,485 --> 00:40:57,512
This statement cannot be
authenticated. I'm not admitting it.
809
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:00,258
I'll stipulate to its
authenticity, Your Honor.
810
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:03,022
If Mr. McCoy also stipulates,
that should be enough.
811
00:41:03,094 --> 00:41:06,189
Mr. McCoy, before we proceed,
812
00:41:08,499 --> 00:41:11,833
you are familiar with the
provisions of Title L, are you not?
813
00:41:13,004 --> 00:41:14,734
Yes, Your Honor. I am.
814
00:41:16,374 --> 00:41:19,071
Just asking. Excuse me.
815
00:41:21,045 --> 00:41:22,946
What was that all
about? What's Title L?
816
00:41:23,348 --> 00:41:27,444
It's what they now call sections
195 and 195.05 of the penal law.
817
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:30,954
Official misconduct and
obstruction? He just threatened you.
818
00:41:31,255 --> 00:41:32,723
That's right.
819
00:41:33,291 --> 00:41:37,092
Mr. Billings, does
defense agree to stipulate
820
00:41:37,161 --> 00:41:39,096
to the authenticity
of People's 43?
821
00:41:39,430 --> 00:41:41,023
We certainly do, Your Honor.
822
00:41:41,199 --> 00:41:44,533
Mr. McCoy, are the People
also prepared to so stipulate?
823
00:41:44,669 --> 00:41:45,669
Yes, Your Honor.
824
00:41:45,870 --> 00:41:49,932
People's 43 is admitted.
Go on, Mr. McCoy.
825
00:41:53,778 --> 00:41:56,577
Mr. Dressler, this is a statement
given to the District Attorney
826
00:41:56,647 --> 00:42:00,140
by Gabrielle Barra, the flight
attendant on your flight from Rio.
827
00:42:00,685 --> 00:42:03,814
She states that she served you
15 drinks. Is that an accurate count?
828
00:42:05,023 --> 00:42:06,685
I only remember the first 12.
829
00:42:07,058 --> 00:42:08,492
She states you
slurred your words
830
00:42:08,559 --> 00:42:09,837
and spilled a drink on yourself.
831
00:42:09,861 --> 00:42:10,885
Do you recall that?
832
00:42:12,063 --> 00:42:13,063
No.
833
00:42:13,131 --> 00:42:15,430
She states you were
disoriented, at one point
834
00:42:15,500 --> 00:42:16,832
locking yourself in the washroom
835
00:42:16,968 --> 00:42:19,665
and requiring assistance to
get out. Do you recall that?
836
00:42:20,872 --> 00:42:21,896
No.
837
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:29,436
Given this statement, is it fair to
say that you were so intoxicated
838
00:42:29,514 --> 00:42:31,642
as to be unable to
think or act rationally?
839
00:42:34,185 --> 00:42:35,244
Yes.
840
00:42:38,022 --> 00:42:39,115
No more questions.
841
00:42:44,062 --> 00:42:46,588
I don't know what happened in
there. You dismantled your case.
842
00:42:48,299 --> 00:42:50,632
I removed the needle from
his arm is what happened.
843
00:42:53,004 --> 00:42:55,405
The offer is vehicular
manslaughter
844
00:42:55,473 --> 00:42:58,204
first degree, three
counts, 5-to-15.
845
00:43:00,678 --> 00:43:02,271
We'll take it. Send
me the papers.
846
00:43:02,346 --> 00:43:04,406
Make no mistake,
Mr. Dressler, I'll be present
847
00:43:04,482 --> 00:43:06,610
for every one of
your parole hearings.
848
00:43:12,323 --> 00:43:14,121
Feldman still has
to sign off on this.
849
00:43:17,195 --> 00:43:19,926
Five years? You
think this is just?
850
00:43:19,997 --> 00:43:21,989
It's what the statute provides.
851
00:43:22,166 --> 00:43:25,227
Statute. I don't give a
damn about the statute.
852
00:43:26,337 --> 00:43:28,306
I was presiding over
a landmark case.
853
00:43:28,372 --> 00:43:29,931
You turned it into
an embarrassment.
854
00:43:30,007 --> 00:43:31,134
You made a fool out of me.
855
00:43:31,242 --> 00:43:32,835
Judge... I had my
statements written
856
00:43:32,910 --> 00:43:35,311
for his sentencing, for the
imposition of the death penalty,
857
00:43:35,379 --> 00:43:37,439
you give me a plea
down to a "C" felony.
858
00:43:37,615 --> 00:43:40,050
If by some fluke
you get elected D.A.,
859
00:43:40,118 --> 00:43:42,349
you can lobby to re-write
the drunk-driving laws.
860
00:43:42,620 --> 00:43:46,853
That's cute. This isn't over,
McCoy. I'm not accepting this plea.
861
00:43:46,924 --> 00:43:48,358
You're sending
the case to the jury.
862
00:43:48,526 --> 00:43:49,653
Absolutely not.
863
00:43:49,727 --> 00:43:52,526
Absolutely not. Let me
warn you, counselor.
864
00:43:52,597 --> 00:43:54,875
I know the shell game you
played with that flight attendant.
865
00:43:54,899 --> 00:43:56,595
You either send
this case to the jury,
866
00:43:56,667 --> 00:43:58,329
or you go before
the ethics committee.
867
00:43:59,570 --> 00:44:01,232
That cuts both ways, Judge. No.
868
00:44:01,439 --> 00:44:03,601
I have absolute
judicial discretion.
869
00:44:03,674 --> 00:44:05,700
Any ruling I made
will hold up to scrutiny
870
00:44:05,776 --> 00:44:07,870
anywhere, any
place, any time, okay.
871
00:44:08,045 --> 00:44:10,276
It's not what's on
the record, Judge.
872
00:44:10,915 --> 00:44:14,545
You tipped your hand in
front of Ms. Ross and myself.
873
00:44:17,121 --> 00:44:18,487
If you're impugning
my judicial...
874
00:44:18,556 --> 00:44:19,854
I don't want to hear it.
875
00:44:21,192 --> 00:44:24,253
I have no excuse for
what I did. Neither do you.
876
00:44:26,097 --> 00:44:30,501
You accept this plea or I'll
go to the ethics committee.
877
00:44:43,114 --> 00:44:46,573
Before I impose sentence, does
the defendant have anything to say?
878
00:44:47,818 --> 00:44:50,447
Just that I'm sorry, Your Honor.
879
00:44:50,955 --> 00:44:52,480
I'm sorry.
880
00:44:54,792 --> 00:44:57,421
I'm just very sorry.
881
00:45:02,967 --> 00:45:05,493
Pursuant to the plea agreement,
the court sentences you
882
00:45:05,570 --> 00:45:09,234
to a term of not less than five
and to no more than 15 years.
883
00:45:09,774 --> 00:45:12,744
Though I'm bound by statutes,
this sentence in no way reflects
884
00:45:12,810 --> 00:45:14,369
the wanton
destruction you inflicted
885
00:45:14,445 --> 00:45:15,936
on the families of your victims,
886
00:45:16,013 --> 00:45:18,812
nor the outrage your crimes
aroused in our community.
887
00:45:20,818 --> 00:45:23,344
Your behavior offends
us, Mr. Dressler,
888
00:45:24,589 --> 00:45:26,854
but no more so than
the inadequate penalties
889
00:45:26,924 --> 00:45:28,483
provided by the statutes.
890
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:32,561
We're adjourned.
891
00:45:37,501 --> 00:45:40,903
Good picture of
Feldman. Nice quote.
892
00:45:42,540 --> 00:45:45,635
I gotta make some calls.
Line up a campaign manager.
893
00:45:58,522 --> 00:46:01,686
I'm meeting David for dinner at
Primavera. You want to come?
894
00:46:03,728 --> 00:46:05,458
Three's a crowd.
895
00:46:05,529 --> 00:46:06,963
He'd like to meet you.
896
00:46:09,867 --> 00:46:13,326
I'll be there for
dessert. I promise.69351
