1
00:03:25,363 --> 00:03:26,830
Hello.
2
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,264
I'm fine. Thank you for asking.
3
00:03:35,273 --> 00:03:36,467
Yes.
4
00:03:38,610 --> 00:03:41,135
Is this personal, Judge?
5
00:03:44,382 --> 00:03:46,577
All right.
6
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:49,085
Uh, give me 30 minutes.
7
00:04:03,802 --> 00:04:09,570
Mac, here's an order appointing you
to represent Peter Thomason...
8
00:04:09,674 --> 00:04:11,642
in the Hightower murder case.
9
00:04:11,743 --> 00:04:13,608
Gene Nelson's the public defender.
10
00:04:13,712 --> 00:04:16,408
He called an hour ago
with a conflict of interest...
11
00:04:16,515 --> 00:04:18,483
with one of the government witnesses.
12
00:04:18,583 --> 00:04:24,249
Now, if there's a conviction, I can't risk
a habeas corpus down the road...
13
00:04:24,356 --> 00:04:30,090
from some bleeding-heart lawyer based
on ineffective assistance of counsel.
14
00:04:30,195 --> 00:04:33,756
- I'm retired.
- No, you quit.
15
00:04:33,865 --> 00:04:37,392
But last I checked,
you still have a law license...
16
00:04:37,502 --> 00:04:39,834
and you still live in my district.
17
00:04:42,207 --> 00:04:44,971
Let someone else
make a name for themselves.
18
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:49,308
I can't appoint someone who's only handled
a few nolo pleas in traffic court...
19
00:04:49,414 --> 00:04:51,075
to a murder charge.
20
00:04:53,151 --> 00:04:56,177
Now, I can order you to do this.
21
00:05:04,996 --> 00:05:07,931
When you gonna start living again, Mac?
22
00:05:13,405 --> 00:05:17,739
There would've been a time
when you would've asked me to order you.
23
00:05:19,311 --> 00:05:21,336
I'm not that lawyer anymore.
24
00:05:22,847 --> 00:05:25,338
Talk with Gene and meet
with the defendant...
25
00:05:26,618 --> 00:05:28,518
and come see me Monday morning.
26
00:05:34,426 --> 00:05:36,121
Hey, Gene, you got a minute?
27
00:05:36,227 --> 00:05:38,957
The judge wants me
to speak to Peter Thomason.
28
00:05:39,064 --> 00:05:40,531
I thought you retired.
29
00:05:40,632 --> 00:05:42,930
Yeah, well,
what can you tell me about the case?
30
00:05:43,034 --> 00:05:45,935
They found the girl in the car,
but she didn't die from the accident.
31
00:05:46,037 --> 00:05:47,595
She was strangled.
32
00:05:47,706 --> 00:05:51,073
Cops found Thomason wandering around
the scene with the keys in his pocket.
33
00:05:51,176 --> 00:05:53,440
He was doped up.
Claims he can't remember anything.
34
00:05:53,545 --> 00:05:55,410
- Any witnesses?
- Not to the murder.
35
00:05:55,513 --> 00:05:58,004
Police report mentions a guy in a pickup.
36
00:05:58,116 --> 00:06:01,449
- Saw the girl's Porsche heading up the mountain.
- Anything else?
37
00:06:01,553 --> 00:06:03,919
Joe Whetstone just made an offer.
38
00:06:04,022 --> 00:06:05,489
Joe Whetstone?
39
00:06:05,590 --> 00:06:08,115
Alex Hightower didn't trust the local D.A.
to do a good job...
40
00:06:08,226 --> 00:06:10,421
so he hired Whetstone
as special prosecutor.
41
00:06:10,528 --> 00:06:12,257
What's the offer?
42
00:06:12,364 --> 00:06:14,298
Twenty-five years to serve.
43
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:16,663
Thomason will be younger
than you when he gets out.
44
00:06:16,768 --> 00:06:18,235
Yeah.
45
00:06:19,604 --> 00:06:21,799
- Does Thomason know about the offer?
- Not yet.
46
00:06:21,906 --> 00:06:24,136
Getting him to take a plea...
47
00:06:24,242 --> 00:06:27,234
will be a lot easier for you
than convincing the jury to let him go.
48
00:06:27,345 --> 00:06:28,607
Yeah.
49
00:06:28,713 --> 00:06:31,238
He'd be a fool if he
doesn't take the deal.
50
00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:33,112
This case is a dog.
51
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:18,385
Peter?
52
00:07:20,331 --> 00:07:22,424
- Mac McClain.
- It's Pete.
53
00:07:23,635 --> 00:07:25,296
Okay, Pete.
54
00:07:25,403 --> 00:07:28,668
The public defender that was gonna
represent you has a conflict of interest...
55
00:07:28,773 --> 00:07:30,968
and can't handle the case.
56
00:07:31,076 --> 00:07:33,374
The judge has asked me to take it.
57
00:07:33,478 --> 00:07:35,378
The prosecution has made an offer.
58
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,439
Twenty-five years, which at your age,
is a lot better than life.
59
00:07:40,618 --> 00:07:43,143
- Twenty-five years?
- Mm-hmm.
60
00:07:45,657 --> 00:07:48,251
- Do I have to say I'm guilty?
- Yep.
61
00:07:48,359 --> 00:07:51,089
No way. I didn't do it.
62
00:07:51,196 --> 00:07:53,187
Did you make a statement to the police?
63
00:07:54,733 --> 00:07:58,191
- I don't think so.
- You don't think so?
64
00:07:58,303 --> 00:08:01,466
- I don't remember.
- You don't remember?
65
00:08:01,573 --> 00:08:04,508
I remember picking Angela up
and taking her to dinner.
66
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:07,373
The next thing I remember
is a camera flashing a bright light...
67
00:08:07,479 --> 00:08:09,413
when they took my picture here.
68
00:08:09,514 --> 00:08:12,347
- Did you take any drugs?
- No.
69
00:08:12,450 --> 00:08:15,180
Then can you explain
why there were drugs in your system?
70
00:08:15,286 --> 00:08:16,253
No.
71
00:08:16,354 --> 00:08:17,821
Right.
72
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:24,588
One last question.
73
00:08:26,397 --> 00:08:30,026
How can you say you're innocent
if you don't remember anything?
74
00:08:33,738 --> 00:08:37,367
Because you don't kill someone
that you love.
75
00:08:45,450 --> 00:08:46,940
Do you need anything?
76
00:08:52,223 --> 00:08:54,521
There's not a lot to do here.
77
00:08:56,694 --> 00:08:59,686
Think somebody can go get
some books from my apartment?
78
00:09:04,269 --> 00:09:05,827
Make a list.
79
00:10:31,189 --> 00:10:32,656
What do you want?
80
00:10:32,757 --> 00:10:34,952
Judge Danielson wants me
to defend a murder case.
81
00:10:35,059 --> 00:10:37,550
You're in no shape
to handle a murder case.
82
00:10:37,662 --> 00:10:39,254
He thinks I am.
83
00:10:39,364 --> 00:10:41,832
Judge Danielson's been
on the bench too long.
84
00:10:43,735 --> 00:10:45,430
There's a plea offer.
85
00:10:45,536 --> 00:10:49,267
I went to the jail and spoke to the defendant.
He doesn't want to take it.
86
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:53,236
Claims he would've never done
anything to hurt her.
87
00:10:54,178 --> 00:10:55,702
That's convincing.
88
00:10:58,216 --> 00:11:00,275
He reminds me of my son.
89
00:11:01,319 --> 00:11:03,719
- Which one?
- Zach.
90
00:11:03,821 --> 00:11:07,188
Something about the look in his eyes.
91
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:08,816
The way he talks.
92
00:11:09,861 --> 00:11:11,761
That's no reason to get involved.
93
00:11:11,863 --> 00:11:15,026
You're not the only one
that lost Laura and the boys.
94
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:17,067
She was my sister.
95
00:11:17,168 --> 00:11:21,696
So, whatever reasons you got to help
this kid, whoever he reminds you of...
96
00:11:21,806 --> 00:11:25,367
will not fix you,
will not bring them back.
97
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:33,242
Mac.
98
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:40,485
Sausage biscuits.
You're getting too skinny.
99
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:00,966
Let's see.
100
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:31,101
Come inl
101
00:13:36,974 --> 00:13:38,441
I'll do it.
102
00:13:39,377 --> 00:13:40,935
Here's your order.
103
00:13:42,313 --> 00:13:44,747
Try to file any additional motions
as soon as you can.
104
00:13:44,849 --> 00:13:45,838
Oh.
105
00:13:47,218 --> 00:13:50,676
Can I get an advance to pay an assistant?
106
00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:53,586
- You bet.
- Hire an investigator.
107
00:13:53,691 --> 00:13:55,318
You got it.
108
00:13:55,426 --> 00:13:59,362
After this is over,
I'll let you rest in peace.
109
00:14:13,344 --> 00:14:14,868
Looks like you're having fun.
110
00:14:14,979 --> 00:14:19,439
Oh, yeah. About as much fun
as when I got braces.
111
00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:22,280
Well, why don't you
come back to work for me?
112
00:14:23,054 --> 00:14:25,818
- You're retired.
- Yeah.
113
00:14:25,923 --> 00:14:29,757
But the judge has made me an offer
I can't refuse.
114
00:14:34,632 --> 00:14:36,429
Am I getting paid?
115
00:14:37,635 --> 00:14:41,799
Yes. But I can't promise you
one of those aprons.
116
00:14:46,978 --> 00:14:49,173
Hey, Mindy, can you clean this up?
117
00:15:04,929 --> 00:15:08,194
Don't say too much,
or you'll talk me out of it.
118
00:15:33,791 --> 00:15:36,817
- All right, any questions?
- Yes.
119
00:15:37,528 --> 00:15:39,496
Did he kill her?
120
00:15:39,597 --> 00:15:41,588
Well, you know that's the wrong question.
121
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,867
What is the evidence?
122
00:15:43,968 --> 00:15:46,869
Well, that's what you two
are gonna help me find out.
123
00:15:46,971 --> 00:15:50,304
Pete Thomason says he
doesn't remember anything.
124
00:15:50,408 --> 00:15:53,400
We need an expert to shrink his head
and find out what's in it.
125
00:15:53,511 --> 00:15:57,140
- Have you guys ever heard of Dr. Anna Wilkes?
- No.
126
00:15:57,248 --> 00:16:01,014
Well, Mike Bender in Rossville says she
has a good reputation with their judges...
127
00:16:01,118 --> 00:16:03,678
and she stands her ground in court.
128
00:16:03,788 --> 00:16:05,585
Get some references
and set up an appointment.
129
00:16:05,690 --> 00:16:07,248
Will do.
130
00:16:07,358 --> 00:16:09,588
The jury reads the newspaper.
131
00:16:09,694 --> 00:16:11,594
We need to make our own press release.
132
00:16:11,696 --> 00:16:14,256
My boyfriend Eddie can do it.
He works for the paper.
133
00:16:14,365 --> 00:16:15,593
Mmm.
134
00:16:15,700 --> 00:16:18,260
Your boyfriend Eddie is not
the sharpest tool in the shed.
135
00:16:18,369 --> 00:16:19,996
You write it.
136
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:22,868
- Make it sound like me.
- Well, that should be exciting.
137
00:16:22,974 --> 00:16:25,169
Gene Nelson's file is a mess.
138
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:28,074
I want you to go through it
and tab anything you think is important.
139
00:16:28,179 --> 00:16:29,806
Okay.
140
00:16:29,914 --> 00:16:33,042
"Reasonable doubt."
What does that mean?
141
00:16:33,150 --> 00:16:34,845
A reason why he's not guilty.
142
00:16:34,952 --> 00:16:37,250
Exactly. Right now,
this piece of paper is empty.
143
00:16:37,355 --> 00:16:40,256
- Before we go to trial, I want it to be full.
- Okay.
144
00:16:40,358 --> 00:16:42,622
There's over a hundred people
on this witness list...
145
00:16:42,727 --> 00:16:45,560
uh, a bunch of them
from his marine corps unit.
146
00:16:45,663 --> 00:16:47,221
You want me to run 'em all down?
147
00:16:47,331 --> 00:16:50,994
No. That's a prosecutor's trick
to try to wear us out.
148
00:16:51,102 --> 00:16:54,765
We're not gonna let that happen. I want
you to start here... Rodney McFarland.
149
00:16:54,872 --> 00:16:57,466
He's the guy who said he saw
Angela's car on the road.
150
00:16:57,575 --> 00:16:59,338
He lives up on Grassy Mountain.
151
00:16:59,443 --> 00:17:03,846
After that, I want you to speak to Angela's
college friends. See if they know anything.
152
00:17:03,948 --> 00:17:05,506
All right?
153
00:17:05,616 --> 00:17:09,518
Joe Whetstone is a formidable opponent.
154
00:17:09,620 --> 00:17:12,384
He's a good prosecutor
with the power of the state behind him.
155
00:17:12,490 --> 00:17:14,788
He's gonna try to steamroll us
and our client...
156
00:17:14,892 --> 00:17:16,689
but we're not gonna let that happen.
157
00:17:17,828 --> 00:17:19,489
All right?
158
00:17:19,597 --> 00:17:21,064
Let's get to work.
159
00:17:22,967 --> 00:17:27,768
Welcome, everyone. It's great to see
you. Who wants to help me pass these out?
160
00:17:27,872 --> 00:17:29,840
- Thank you.
- Let's all take a seat.
161
00:17:30,641 --> 00:17:32,506
Hey, there. Hi.
162
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:35,979
All right.
163
00:17:37,682 --> 00:17:39,946
Why don't we get started?
164
00:17:40,051 --> 00:17:45,580
So, did anybody face a struggle this week
that they'd be willing to share?
165
00:17:49,860 --> 00:17:53,728
I, uh...
I went to the grocery store with a friend...
166
00:17:54,865 --> 00:17:57,663
and I saw a box of
Jodie's favorite cookies...
167
00:17:57,768 --> 00:18:00,168
and I just... I burst into tears...
168
00:18:00,271 --> 00:18:02,466
and I ran out of the store.
169
00:18:04,608 --> 00:18:07,543
I'm sorry. It was very embarrassing.
170
00:18:07,645 --> 00:18:11,376
You may have felt embarrassed,
but moments like that are gonna happen.
171
00:18:11,482 --> 00:18:14,542
Grief is like a river. You can't dam it up.
172
00:18:14,652 --> 00:18:17,018
And you can't make it go faster.
173
00:18:17,121 --> 00:18:20,522
You just have to allow God
to take you at his pace.
174
00:18:21,859 --> 00:18:24,453
All right, take care, you guys.
175
00:18:24,562 --> 00:18:26,086
See you next time.
176
00:18:27,231 --> 00:18:28,698
Interesting meeting.
177
00:18:30,434 --> 00:18:32,459
What's your goal?
178
00:18:32,570 --> 00:18:35,266
Well, there's a time to mourn
and a time to heal.
179
00:18:35,373 --> 00:18:37,238
We provide a time and a place for healing.
180
00:18:39,643 --> 00:18:41,201
What's your success rate?
181
00:18:41,312 --> 00:18:43,906
Well, when you try to do it
by yourself, not so good.
182
00:18:44,014 --> 00:18:46,539
When you ask God for help, the odds go up.
183
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:49,244
Well, I think I need
something more tangible.
184
00:18:50,354 --> 00:18:52,219
I can't think of anything more tangible.
185
00:18:58,396 --> 00:19:01,160
Mac McClain. My assistant called you.
186
00:19:01,265 --> 00:19:03,460
Oh, yes, of course. Sorry.
187
00:19:03,567 --> 00:19:05,194
- I'm Anna.
- Nice to meet you.
188
00:19:05,302 --> 00:19:07,270
Have you heard about the case?
189
00:19:07,371 --> 00:19:09,202
- Just what I've read in the paper.
- Uh-huh.
190
00:19:09,306 --> 00:19:12,901
Well, my client claims
he can't remember anything.
191
00:19:13,010 --> 00:19:15,808
I need to find out if
he's suffering from amnesia.
192
00:19:15,913 --> 00:19:19,576
I'd also like you to tell me if you think
he's competent to stand trial.
193
00:19:20,418 --> 00:19:22,045
When will you need my report?
194
00:19:23,487 --> 00:19:25,318
As soon as possible.
195
00:19:25,423 --> 00:19:27,391
- I'm sorry for the rush, but...
- It's okay.
196
00:19:27,491 --> 00:19:29,721
When someone's life is at stake,
I'll make time.
197
00:19:30,761 --> 00:19:32,661
That's very kind of you.
198
00:19:35,199 --> 00:19:36,359
Howdy.
199
00:19:37,268 --> 00:19:39,133
You Rodney McFarland?
200
00:19:40,337 --> 00:19:42,305
Yeah, that'd be me.
201
00:19:42,406 --> 00:19:44,465
What ya sellin', son?
202
00:19:44,575 --> 00:19:45,701
Nothing. I, uh...
203
00:19:45,810 --> 00:19:47,539
I'm Ray Morrison.
204
00:19:48,913 --> 00:19:50,380
I work for a lawyer.
205
00:19:50,481 --> 00:19:52,608
I'm doing a little investigating...
206
00:19:52,716 --> 00:19:56,482
on the night that your truck got run off
the road in Dennison Springs.
207
00:19:56,587 --> 00:19:58,179
- Lawyer, huh?
- Yep.
208
00:19:58,289 --> 00:20:00,154
Well, I ain't hurt.
I ain't injured, you know.
209
00:20:00,257 --> 00:20:05,092
So you can go back, you and your boss,
and chase some other ambulance.
210
00:20:05,196 --> 00:20:07,357
No, no. He's not that kind of lawyer.
211
00:20:07,465 --> 00:20:10,298
I just need to speak to you
for a few minutes.
212
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:14,934
Well, what is it you think
we've been doing here, son?
213
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,008
There we go.
You saw me dip this in that bucket.
214
00:20:18,108 --> 00:20:21,236
Take you a little sip of that.
You'll like it. It's good.
215
00:20:21,345 --> 00:20:23,313
A little sip now. Don't drink it.
216
00:20:23,414 --> 00:20:25,405
Go ahead. It's good.
217
00:20:27,952 --> 00:20:29,510
There she is.
218
00:20:32,623 --> 00:20:34,750
You're right. Beautiful truck.
219
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,326
Yeah, she's a sweetie.
220
00:20:36,427 --> 00:20:40,761
She's pretty. I bought her brand new
on the lot in Blue Ridge.
221
00:20:40,865 --> 00:20:42,355
You ever been to Blue Ridge?
222
00:20:42,466 --> 00:20:45,799
No, I haven't. What happened here?
223
00:20:45,903 --> 00:20:49,202
Well, now that happened the night
my daughter was having her baby.
224
00:20:49,306 --> 00:20:52,742
I was in the truck headed over the mountain,
getting there as fast as I could.
225
00:20:52,843 --> 00:20:55,334
Trying to get there in time, you know,
and I was making good time.
226
00:20:55,446 --> 00:20:58,108
Lord have mercy, this thing will flat get
up and go. Look at these tires.
227
00:20:58,215 --> 00:21:02,413
See that? Never buy foreign tires, Ray.
228
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,351
I always buy American.
229
00:21:04,455 --> 00:21:08,585
Everything on this whole hill
back here is made in the U.S.A.
230
00:21:08,692 --> 00:21:10,853
Except for my, you know... my clock.
231
00:21:10,961 --> 00:21:14,658
I bought a radio clock... General Electric...
thinking it's made in Pennsylvania.
232
00:21:14,765 --> 00:21:18,064
Got it home. The dang thing said
"Made in Taiwan"on the bottom.
233
00:21:18,168 --> 00:21:19,863
You believe that?
234
00:21:19,970 --> 00:21:21,767
So, you were making good time.
235
00:21:21,872 --> 00:21:24,636
I was. I was making good time.
It was about midnight.
236
00:21:24,742 --> 00:21:27,370
I slipped around the bend.
Here come two cars headed right for me.
237
00:21:27,478 --> 00:21:29,571
- Two cars?
- Aimed right at me, both of 'em.
238
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,708
One was a yellow car.
Other one was a kind of a dark purple.
239
00:21:34,818 --> 00:21:35,842
This color?
240
00:21:35,953 --> 00:21:37,614
Yes, sir, that color right there.
241
00:21:37,721 --> 00:21:39,746
This one was tailing the yellow car...
242
00:21:39,857 --> 00:21:42,985
and I reckon them boys thought
they owned the road, both of 'em.
243
00:21:43,093 --> 00:21:45,152
But when the yellow car
run me off the road...
244
00:21:45,262 --> 00:21:47,355
I reckon the purple car sideswiped me.
245
00:21:47,464 --> 00:21:50,558
I didn't know I'd even been hit
till I got home.
246
00:21:50,668 --> 00:21:53,068
You didn't tell the police
about the other car?
247
00:21:53,170 --> 00:21:56,435
No, no. Like I said, I didn't even know
I'd been hit till the next day.
248
00:21:56,540 --> 00:21:59,270
Could you tell who was driving either car?
249
00:21:59,376 --> 00:22:02,971
No, sir. No, sir. Never saw 'em.
You know, it happened so fast. It's...
250
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,640
Yeah, always does.
251
00:22:05,749 --> 00:22:09,617
Now, you saw me take this
chip of paint right from here...
252
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,154
and put it in this bottle,
didn't you, Mr. McFarland?
253
00:22:12,256 --> 00:22:14,520
Well, I reckon I did, son.
I'm standing right here.
254
00:22:14,625 --> 00:22:16,616
Close enough to you to spit on your shoe.
255
00:22:19,964 --> 00:22:22,262
Appreciate you not doing that.
256
00:22:24,501 --> 00:22:26,492
She had a significant amount
of roofies in her system.
257
00:22:26,604 --> 00:22:28,265
Roofies?
258
00:22:28,372 --> 00:22:30,772
Rohypnol. It knocks you out.
259
00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:33,401
Anything else?
260
00:22:33,510 --> 00:22:36,274
No, just a little bit of alcohol.
261
00:22:36,380 --> 00:22:37,972
What about Thomason?
262
00:22:38,082 --> 00:22:40,607
Small amount of alcohol,
a lot of amphetamines.
263
00:22:40,718 --> 00:22:42,879
Doesn't Rohypnol cause memory loss?
264
00:22:42,987 --> 00:22:44,614
Yeah. That's why men give it to women.
265
00:22:44,722 --> 00:22:47,020
Did you test Thomason's blood
for Rohypnol?
266
00:22:47,124 --> 00:22:48,716
Mm-mmm.
267
00:22:48,826 --> 00:22:52,057
Would you do that, please?
Get me the results as soon as you can.
268
00:22:52,162 --> 00:22:53,356
Yeah.
269
00:22:55,065 --> 00:22:58,057
You don't think he could've got
a scratch in a grocery store parking lot?
270
00:22:58,168 --> 00:22:59,965
This guy doesn't go to the grocery store.
271
00:23:00,070 --> 00:23:02,834
He's got enough squirrels and rabbits
on that hilltop of his.
272
00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:04,407
Do you believe him?
273
00:23:04,508 --> 00:23:07,443
Mac, we drank from the same tin cup.
274
00:23:07,544 --> 00:23:09,808
We're practically kinfolk by now.
275
00:23:11,448 --> 00:23:14,178
I'll get this to a lab,
see what they can tell us.
276
00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:18,554
We need to find that car.
277
00:23:27,297 --> 00:23:29,060
I'll be right back.
278
00:23:30,434 --> 00:23:33,528
Hey, Mac. Good to see you.
279
00:23:34,772 --> 00:23:37,764
So, uh, did Gene tell you
about the plea offer?
280
00:23:37,875 --> 00:23:39,433
Yeah.
281
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:41,773
You get the same deal.
282
00:23:41,879 --> 00:23:43,506
Why should we take it?
283
00:23:46,316 --> 00:23:49,615
I bet you got enough in Gene's file.
You can answer that.
284
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:54,680
By the way, your client in our last case,
did he ever get out of prison?
285
00:23:58,462 --> 00:24:00,657
Talk to Mr. Thomason.
286
00:24:00,764 --> 00:24:02,823
He should take the deal.
287
00:24:05,769 --> 00:24:07,396
How many years did your other client get?
288
00:24:07,504 --> 00:24:08,971
Thirty-five years.
289
00:24:09,073 --> 00:24:12,008
- Did he turn down the plea offer?
- Yes.
290
00:24:12,109 --> 00:24:13,872
Five years.
291
00:24:15,512 --> 00:24:17,241
All risel
292
00:24:17,347 --> 00:24:20,805
God save the state of Georgia
in this honorable court.
293
00:24:20,918 --> 00:24:24,285
The Honorable
Judge William L. Danielson presiding.
294
00:24:26,256 --> 00:24:27,484
Be seated.
295
00:24:28,892 --> 00:24:32,555
We have, uh, several motions
filed by Mr. McClain...
296
00:24:32,663 --> 00:24:36,190
seeking information under
Brady versus Maryland...
297
00:24:36,300 --> 00:24:40,134
and the Georgia criminal
discovery statute.
298
00:24:40,237 --> 00:24:43,172
Mr. Whetstone, what is your response?
299
00:24:43,273 --> 00:24:45,639
Three things, Your Honor.
300
00:24:45,743 --> 00:24:48,678
First, I'm delivering to Mr. McClain...
301
00:24:48,779 --> 00:24:53,682
photographs of Angela Hightower
while she was alive and after her death.
302
00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:59,723
Second, the state would like to conduct
a psychiatric evaluation.
303
00:24:59,823 --> 00:25:03,384
I've attached the credentials
of Dr. Lewis Newburn.
304
00:25:07,898 --> 00:25:09,559
Anything else, gentlemen?
305
00:25:11,101 --> 00:25:12,966
Yes, Your Honor, one more thing.
306
00:25:13,070 --> 00:25:16,528
Based on a review of
the facts and circumstances...
307
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,699
surrounding the murder
of Angela Hightower...
308
00:25:18,809 --> 00:25:23,542
the state intends to seek the death penalty
upon conviction of the defendant.
309
00:25:23,647 --> 00:25:25,137
The death penalty!
310
00:25:25,249 --> 00:25:26,614
Sit down.
311
00:25:26,717 --> 00:25:30,983
Your Honor, there is no evidence
of aggravating circumstance.
312
00:25:31,088 --> 00:25:35,149
The defendant is guilty of murder committed
in conjunction with the crime of kidnapping.
313
00:25:35,259 --> 00:25:38,751
Kidnapping? Miss Hightower agreed
to go to dinner with my client.
314
00:25:38,862 --> 00:25:42,923
And a subsequent development rendered her
presence with him nonconsensual.
315
00:25:43,033 --> 00:25:44,500
There's not enough evidence
to support that.
316
00:25:44,601 --> 00:25:47,092
She had Rohypnol in her system.
317
00:25:47,204 --> 00:25:50,640
Uh, I'm not sure that your theory
holds water, Mr. Whetstone...
318
00:25:50,741 --> 00:25:54,268
but, uh, prosecutorial discretion
buys you a little leeway.
319
00:25:54,378 --> 00:25:56,573
Now what this means, gentlemen...
320
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,242
is first, we will have a trial
to determine guilt or innocence.
321
00:26:01,351 --> 00:26:04,843
And if the defendant is found guilty...
322
00:26:04,955 --> 00:26:08,356
we will move immediately
to determine the sentence.
323
00:26:11,395 --> 00:26:13,522
Your Honor, may I have
a moment with my client?
324
00:26:21,305 --> 00:26:22,795
Death penalty?
325
00:26:24,741 --> 00:26:26,436
Or 25 years.
326
00:26:29,479 --> 00:26:30,946
That's it?
327
00:26:32,182 --> 00:26:33,843
Those are my only two options?
328
00:26:35,285 --> 00:26:39,278
You have no memory,
no alibi and no explanation.
329
00:26:56,173 --> 00:26:58,334
I didn't think anyone would come.
330
00:26:58,976 --> 00:27:01,444
Here I am.
331
00:27:01,545 --> 00:27:05,072
I didn't know if it was important
or not about the letters.
332
00:27:05,182 --> 00:27:07,343
I don't have the letters that she got...
333
00:27:07,451 --> 00:27:10,909
but I do know she wrote her dad
after the third one.
334
00:27:11,021 --> 00:27:17,517
I mean, I just didn't think it was that
big of a deal, but then this happened.
335
00:27:17,628 --> 00:27:20,324
- Can you show me?
- Yeah. I made copies.
336
00:27:22,266 --> 00:27:25,997
There may be more,
but she only wrote two on my computer.
337
00:27:26,103 --> 00:27:29,231
I mean, she was really worried
about how her dad would react.
338
00:27:29,339 --> 00:27:30,897
I mean, it was her uncle.
339
00:27:32,876 --> 00:27:34,207
"Spencer...
340
00:27:34,311 --> 00:27:38,042
"Do not call or write again.
341
00:27:38,148 --> 00:27:40,616
"I do not want to see or talk to you.
342
00:27:40,717 --> 00:27:44,084
"If I hear one more word from you,
I'll tell my dad.
343
00:27:44,187 --> 00:27:46,451
"I mean it. Get some help.
344
00:27:46,556 --> 00:27:48,023
Angela."
345
00:27:48,125 --> 00:27:50,719
You said there was another one
to her father.
346
00:27:50,827 --> 00:27:51,885
Yeah.
347
00:27:55,132 --> 00:27:57,191
I just... I didn't know what to do.
348
00:27:57,301 --> 00:27:59,394
I hope I did the right thing.
349
00:28:02,372 --> 00:28:03,930
Yes, you did.
350
00:28:06,443 --> 00:28:09,139
Do you know whether
these were actually sent?
351
00:28:09,246 --> 00:28:12,079
Well, the one to her uncle,
I mailed myself.
352
00:28:12,182 --> 00:28:13,979
I don't know about the one to her dad.
353
00:28:14,084 --> 00:28:16,951
I mean, she didn't
go into all the details.
354
00:28:17,054 --> 00:28:19,284
It was just really creepy.
355
00:28:24,127 --> 00:28:25,594
I'm really glad you came.
356
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,233
So, what have you dug up about McClain?
357
00:28:33,337 --> 00:28:36,898
He's represented a lot of people
in the county over the years.
358
00:28:37,007 --> 00:28:40,534
Some who probably couldn't afford to pay.
359
00:28:40,644 --> 00:28:44,273
Three years ago, his wife and two sons
were killed in a car wreck.
360
00:28:45,115 --> 00:28:46,582
It was Christmas Eve.
361
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,146
Since then, his practice
has been slowing dying.
362
00:28:53,256 --> 00:28:55,850
And just recently, he shut his office.
363
00:28:57,594 --> 00:29:02,156
So, we have a lawyer with nothing to lose.
364
00:29:02,265 --> 00:29:04,563
That makes him dangerous.
365
00:29:05,769 --> 00:29:08,795
I want someone assigned
to McClain at all times.
366
00:29:13,643 --> 00:29:16,168
But I am sorry to hear about his family.
367
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,380
Well, he understands
the nature of the charges.
368
00:29:52,482 --> 00:29:55,451
And he's not delusional.
He's legally competent.
369
00:29:56,486 --> 00:29:57,646
But?
370
00:29:58,789 --> 00:30:00,313
He's depressed.
371
00:30:00,424 --> 00:30:01,789
How depressed?
372
00:30:01,892 --> 00:30:04,656
Severely. I would say clinically.
373
00:30:04,761 --> 00:30:07,059
But it doesn't explain the amnesia.
374
00:30:07,164 --> 00:30:09,325
What do you make of that?
375
00:30:09,433 --> 00:30:13,460
There are several known causes...
trauma, a blow to the head.
376
00:30:13,570 --> 00:30:15,470
But there were no signs
of physical injury.
377
00:30:15,572 --> 00:30:20,009
Right. Another would be long-term
drug or alcohol abuse.
378
00:30:20,110 --> 00:30:23,910
Despite the presence of amphetamines,
he has no history of habitual use.
379
00:30:24,014 --> 00:30:25,345
Which means?
380
00:30:25,449 --> 00:30:26,916
He may be faking.
381
00:30:27,017 --> 00:30:28,484
Yeah.
382
00:30:30,620 --> 00:30:32,451
Have you tested him for Rohypnol too?
383
00:30:32,556 --> 00:30:35,116
Yeah. We're just waiting for
the results to come back.
384
00:30:35,225 --> 00:30:37,318
Well, good. Let me know.
385
00:30:37,427 --> 00:30:39,759
It could make a huge difference
in my report.
386
00:30:41,965 --> 00:30:43,432
Thank you.
387
00:30:52,976 --> 00:30:54,876
You think she'll be a good witness?
388
00:30:56,146 --> 00:30:58,307
I believed her.
389
00:30:58,415 --> 00:31:01,009
You could reopen the office.
390
00:31:01,952 --> 00:31:03,510
Answering machine.
391
00:31:06,456 --> 00:31:08,822
Oh, and one more thing.
392
00:31:10,494 --> 00:31:12,655
You could get one of these too.
393
00:31:13,663 --> 00:31:16,063
She's right about the cell phone.
394
00:31:18,635 --> 00:31:20,660
Spencer is her uncle.
395
00:31:20,770 --> 00:31:23,102
He's not much older than she is.
396
00:31:25,675 --> 00:31:27,836
Now I know why she
didn't like him so much.
397
00:31:27,944 --> 00:31:29,639
Hmm.
398
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:36,649
This is gonna be very helpful
for your case.
399
00:31:36,753 --> 00:31:39,779
The state psychiatrist
is sitting over there.
400
00:31:39,890 --> 00:31:44,156
Answer his questions.
But remember, he is not your friend...
401
00:31:44,261 --> 00:31:47,162
and he is not here to help you.
402
00:31:47,264 --> 00:31:50,563
If he gets out of line, we'll be watching.
403
00:31:57,707 --> 00:31:59,197
He's all yours, Doctor.
404
00:31:59,309 --> 00:32:01,869
You'll have my report the same
day Mr. Whetstone does.
405
00:32:01,978 --> 00:32:04,003
Fair and impartial, I'm sure.
406
00:32:05,949 --> 00:32:08,247
I look forward to seeing you in court.
407
00:32:12,856 --> 00:32:17,054
- How do you think that's gonna go?
- Not good. It never does.
408
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,718
No.
409
00:32:27,103 --> 00:32:28,570
Mr. McClain.
410
00:32:31,141 --> 00:32:33,075
Hi.
411
00:32:33,176 --> 00:32:36,509
Uh, this is Hunter, my son.
This is Mr. McClain.
412
00:32:36,613 --> 00:32:37,910
Hunter?
413
00:32:38,014 --> 00:32:39,641
Ooh, that's a good grip.
414
00:32:39,749 --> 00:32:41,239
- How old are you?
- Ten and a half.
415
00:32:41,351 --> 00:32:44,218
Ten and a half. That's a great age.
416
00:32:44,321 --> 00:32:46,414
Would you care to join us?
417
00:32:49,392 --> 00:32:50,859
Okay.
418
00:32:52,896 --> 00:32:54,363
We're starving.
419
00:32:54,464 --> 00:32:56,932
We just got back from Jacks River Falls.
420
00:32:57,033 --> 00:32:58,500
You've heard of it?
421
00:32:58,602 --> 00:33:01,230
Sure. I used to go there
all the time with my boys.
422
00:33:01,338 --> 00:33:05,001
There's a great store along the way
where you can buy boiled peanuts.
423
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:09,340
- I've never had a boiled peanut.
- You never had a boiled peanut?
424
00:33:09,446 --> 00:33:12,677
Man, my boy Zach could
eat a whole bag of 'em.
425
00:33:12,782 --> 00:33:15,876
Hunter, why don't you go see
what's in the dessert case?
426
00:33:15,986 --> 00:33:16,884
Okay.
427
00:33:22,392 --> 00:33:24,087
Did you get my report?
428
00:33:26,062 --> 00:33:29,498
Yeah. Thanks.
Uh, it's gonna be very helpful.
429
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:32,466
But Pete tested negative for Rohypnol.
430
00:33:32,569 --> 00:33:36,232
Really? Why don't you
try testing him for G.H.B.?
431
00:33:36,339 --> 00:33:38,102
It's a close relative.
432
00:33:38,208 --> 00:33:39,766
G.H.B.
433
00:33:40,477 --> 00:33:41,944
Okay.
434
00:33:43,079 --> 00:33:45,274
They have three pieces
of peanut butter pie.
435
00:33:45,382 --> 00:33:47,077
Peanut butter pie?
436
00:33:47,183 --> 00:33:50,584
I love peanut butter pie,
and it's a lot better than boiled peanuts.
437
00:33:53,290 --> 00:33:57,056
These paint chips
are from a mid-'90s sedan.
438
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,960
Mindy, call the department of motor vehicles.
See if you can find a match.
439
00:34:03,199 --> 00:34:07,260
In every criminal case,
you want to put someone else on trial.
440
00:34:10,106 --> 00:34:11,733
That's our man.
441
00:34:12,842 --> 00:34:14,901
Spencer Hightower.
442
00:34:54,184 --> 00:34:56,118
What seems to be the problem?
443
00:34:56,219 --> 00:35:02,317
I need to take a look at the financial
records for the Spencer Hightower Trust.
444
00:35:02,425 --> 00:35:03,892
Those are privileged.
445
00:35:03,993 --> 00:35:08,930
Well, Judge Danielson doesn't agree.
446
00:35:21,711 --> 00:35:24,179
Dr. Newburn doesn't believe our client.
447
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,372
Hmm.
448
00:35:28,351 --> 00:35:32,151
"Sociopathic homicidal tendencies."
449
00:35:32,255 --> 00:35:33,745
- Well...
- God.
450
00:35:33,857 --> 00:35:37,418
- that didn't surprise me.
- Hmm.
451
00:35:41,398 --> 00:35:44,390
Let's call Dr. Wilkes. Tell her I'd like
to see her as soon as possible.
452
00:35:44,501 --> 00:35:46,492
Okay.
453
00:36:06,356 --> 00:36:08,324
What time are we due back in Atlanta?
454
00:36:08,425 --> 00:36:10,757
The deposition starts at 4:30.
455
00:36:10,860 --> 00:36:14,557
If we're not out of there in 15 minutes,
pull the fire alarm.
456
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:35,117
Um...
457
00:36:35,218 --> 00:36:37,914
put your shoulder back.
458
00:36:38,021 --> 00:36:41,650
Good. And bend your knees.
459
00:36:41,758 --> 00:36:44,955
Okay, and throw!
460
00:36:45,061 --> 00:36:47,723
She's got you all twisted up
like a pretzel.
461
00:36:48,932 --> 00:36:50,729
You can't teach baseball
from a book. Come here.
462
00:36:52,735 --> 00:36:54,430
So, just get a good grip on that.
463
00:36:54,537 --> 00:36:57,267
And I want you to throw a fastball.
Let's see that.
464
00:36:57,373 --> 00:37:00,467
- Nice! Got another glove?
- Yeah.
465
00:37:03,980 --> 00:37:05,174
There you go.
466
00:37:05,949 --> 00:37:08,144
That's a nice glove.
467
00:37:08,251 --> 00:37:10,048
It's my dad's.
468
00:37:13,022 --> 00:37:14,353
Yeah.
469
00:37:14,457 --> 00:37:16,584
He passed away.
470
00:37:19,329 --> 00:37:20,819
I'm sorry to hear that.
471
00:37:20,930 --> 00:37:23,490
It's okay. But I still really miss him.
472
00:37:27,704 --> 00:37:29,604
All right, you wanna put some heat on it?
473
00:37:29,706 --> 00:37:30,934
All right.
474
00:37:32,108 --> 00:37:33,598
There you go.
475
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,980
Let's make this quick.
476
00:37:41,184 --> 00:37:42,742
Mr. Hightower.
477
00:37:44,854 --> 00:37:46,651
Bring me up-to-date.
478
00:37:46,756 --> 00:37:49,020
Well, there's been a change
in defense attorneys.
479
00:37:49,125 --> 00:37:51,286
- Who is it?
- Mac McClain.
480
00:37:51,394 --> 00:37:53,362
Are you sure you can handle him?
481
00:37:53,463 --> 00:37:57,024
Well, I would hope you know
the answer to that.
482
00:37:57,133 --> 00:38:01,035
Here's a detailed summary
outlining our preparations for trial.
483
00:38:01,137 --> 00:38:04,163
May be your case, but she was my daughter.
484
00:38:13,116 --> 00:38:15,084
I'm sorry about your husband.
485
00:38:15,184 --> 00:38:16,674
What did Hunter say?
486
00:38:16,786 --> 00:38:19,812
Only that he passed away
and that he missed him.
487
00:38:21,357 --> 00:38:23,257
Well, he doesn't know the whole story.
488
00:38:25,562 --> 00:38:27,086
It was suicide.
489
00:38:30,533 --> 00:38:32,000
I'm sorry.
490
00:38:33,803 --> 00:38:36,738
Eventually he's gonna
ask me questions that, uh...
491
00:38:36,839 --> 00:38:39,672
I don't know how to explain.
492
00:38:41,377 --> 00:38:42,867
Tell him the truth.
493
00:38:46,149 --> 00:38:47,878
Is that what you tell all your witnesses?
494
00:38:49,619 --> 00:38:52,918
I started that group
that you came to right after he died.
495
00:38:55,992 --> 00:39:00,725
A lot of people need a time and a place
to heal, including me.
496
00:39:06,436 --> 00:39:09,769
I don't agree with Dr. Newburn's
assessment of my client.
497
00:39:09,872 --> 00:39:13,205
He said he's a psychotic
with homicidal tendencies.
498
00:39:28,424 --> 00:39:30,654
Hey, Mark. Excuse me.
499
00:39:31,861 --> 00:39:33,488
Good morning, counselor.
500
00:39:34,497 --> 00:39:35,964
Mr. Whetstone.
501
00:39:36,065 --> 00:39:37,999
I never heard from you.
502
00:39:38,101 --> 00:39:41,093
Of course, I didn't really expect to.
503
00:39:41,204 --> 00:39:43,434
I've seen a lot of guys
like you over the years.
504
00:39:43,539 --> 00:39:46,599
Good men. Good attorneys.
505
00:39:46,709 --> 00:39:52,079
But they're trying to fix something in
themselves by way of their clients.
506
00:39:52,181 --> 00:39:53,808
It never works.
507
00:39:56,619 --> 00:39:59,019
You're goin' down with the ship.
508
00:40:02,992 --> 00:40:05,460
Deal's off the table for good.
509
00:40:09,032 --> 00:40:11,728
This trial is necessary...
510
00:40:11,834 --> 00:40:16,100
because a beautiful
21-year-old woman is dead.
511
00:40:18,908 --> 00:40:20,967
I wish we weren't here today.
512
00:40:22,178 --> 00:40:25,773
Mr. Alexander Hightower...
513
00:40:25,882 --> 00:40:29,340
desperately wishes we weren't here today.
514
00:40:30,086 --> 00:40:32,714
Let me speak for Angela.
515
00:40:32,822 --> 00:40:38,624
Let me walk you through the events leading
up to her murder through her eyes.
516
00:40:40,963 --> 00:40:45,457
The defendant had won her trust
and the trust of her father.
517
00:40:45,568 --> 00:40:51,507
On August 2, he came to the Hightower
home, spoke briefly with Mr. Hightower...
518
00:40:51,607 --> 00:40:56,374
and then took his daughter to Atlanta
in her yellow Porsche.
519
00:40:58,214 --> 00:40:59,738
Now...
520
00:40:59,849 --> 00:41:05,719
I don't know what, uh, the defendant
and Angela talked about that night.
521
00:41:05,822 --> 00:41:10,054
I don't know what they ate
at that quiet little Italian restaurant.
522
00:41:11,294 --> 00:41:14,821
But I do know she never came home.
523
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:22,136
At some point, the defendant offered
Angela something to drink.
524
00:41:22,238 --> 00:41:24,570
It might have been a soft drink,
a cup of coffee.
525
00:41:24,674 --> 00:41:26,232
But whatever it was...
526
00:41:26,342 --> 00:41:29,277
it was no ordinary beverage.
527
00:41:29,378 --> 00:41:32,939
Because inside that glass or cup...
528
00:41:33,049 --> 00:41:37,918
were a few drops of a colorless,
odorless, tasteless drug...
529
00:41:39,122 --> 00:41:40,783
called Rohypnol.
530
00:41:42,024 --> 00:41:43,582
Roofies.
531
00:41:44,961 --> 00:41:50,593
As soon as that was in her system,
Angela was helpless.
532
00:41:51,567 --> 00:41:53,228
And the evidence will show that...
533
00:41:53,336 --> 00:41:57,432
the defendant took drugs
himself on August 2.
534
00:41:59,008 --> 00:42:03,342
Sometime around midnight,
sheriff's deputies responded to a call...
535
00:42:03,446 --> 00:42:05,971
and found Angela in her car...
536
00:42:07,016 --> 00:42:08,506
dead.
537
00:42:09,919 --> 00:42:12,854
But she wasn't killed in a car wreck.
538
00:42:12,955 --> 00:42:15,355
She was murdered.
539
00:42:15,458 --> 00:42:19,417
And the defendant was found
at the scene of the crime...
540
00:42:19,529 --> 00:42:23,192
with the keys to her car in his pocket.
541
00:42:24,867 --> 00:42:28,234
Now, is that all the evidence? No.
542
00:42:28,337 --> 00:42:32,137
A psychiatrist
will give you understanding...
543
00:42:32,241 --> 00:42:38,077
about the defendant's mental capacity
to commit such a horrible crime.
544
00:42:38,181 --> 00:42:42,618
Police will piece together
the events of August 2.
545
00:42:43,786 --> 00:42:47,153
And when all the evidence
has been presented...
546
00:42:47,256 --> 00:42:49,190
I will stand here...
547
00:42:49,292 --> 00:42:54,025
and I will ask you to do your duty
for the state of Georgia...
548
00:42:55,531 --> 00:42:57,089
for Angela...
549
00:42:58,167 --> 00:43:01,864
and find the defendant guilty of murder.
550
00:43:20,189 --> 00:43:22,384
Ladies and gentlemen...
551
00:43:22,491 --> 00:43:26,325
I cannot think of anything more serious...
552
00:43:26,429 --> 00:43:29,455
than deciding the fate
of another human being.
553
00:43:32,101 --> 00:43:35,036
When we entered the courtroom
this morning...
554
00:43:35,137 --> 00:43:40,541
the clock began ticking on an experience
that none of us will ever forget.
555
00:43:40,643 --> 00:43:44,340
My job is to guide you
through this process.
556
00:43:44,447 --> 00:43:49,214
Not to tell you what to think.
Not to bully you.
557
00:43:49,318 --> 00:43:53,220
But to treat you with the respect
that service on this jury deserves.
558
00:43:54,757 --> 00:43:59,421
First, please remember
what Judge Danielson said.
559
00:43:59,528 --> 00:44:04,227
Nothing we lawyers say to you is evidence.
560
00:44:04,333 --> 00:44:10,499
Second, I agree with everything that
Mr. Whetstone said about Angela Hightower.
561
00:44:10,606 --> 00:44:13,734
Her life was cut off before
she had a chance to live it...
562
00:44:13,843 --> 00:44:15,743
and someone should be brought to justice...
563
00:44:15,845 --> 00:44:18,541
and someone should be
punished for that crime.
564
00:44:18,648 --> 00:44:21,583
However, the evidence will prove...
565
00:44:21,684 --> 00:44:25,745
that the person most likely responsible
for Angela Hightower's death...
566
00:44:25,855 --> 00:44:27,720
is not in this courtroom.
567
00:44:29,392 --> 00:44:31,121
Not yet.
568
00:44:31,227 --> 00:44:35,755
Third, the prosecution will present
its side of the case first.
569
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,124
The book of Proverbs tells us...
570
00:44:39,235 --> 00:44:42,204
that the first to present
his side of the case seems right...
571
00:44:42,305 --> 00:44:45,365
until another comes forward
and questions it.
572
00:44:45,474 --> 00:44:48,341
That is wisdom from the ages...
573
00:44:48,444 --> 00:44:52,141
and I would ask you to apply it
to your responsibilities here today.
574
00:44:54,984 --> 00:44:56,645
Thank you.
575
00:44:58,688 --> 00:45:01,657
Proceed with the state's case,
Mr. Whetstone.
576
00:45:01,757 --> 00:45:07,627
Your Honor, the state calls
Lieutenant Walter Monroe.
577
00:45:10,099 --> 00:45:11,123
Oh, no.
578
00:45:19,408 --> 00:45:22,104
Please introduce yourself
to the jury, Lieutenant.
579
00:45:22,211 --> 00:45:24,736
Lieutenant Walter Monroe,
United States Marine Corps...
580
00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:26,781
currently serving at
Parris Island, South Carolina...
581
00:45:26,882 --> 00:45:29,043
after completing a tour of duty in Iraq.
582
00:45:30,186 --> 00:45:32,677
Well, on behalf of the entire courtroom...
583
00:45:32,788 --> 00:45:36,246
I'd like to thank you for your service to
our country, Lieutenant.
584
00:45:37,526 --> 00:45:40,859
Could you please tell us
how you know Peter Thomason...
585
00:45:40,963 --> 00:45:43,227
the defendant in this case?
586
00:45:43,332 --> 00:45:47,701
Thomason was in my unit
before he received a general discharge.
587
00:45:47,803 --> 00:45:49,464
A general discharge?
588
00:45:49,572 --> 00:45:51,972
He didn't receive an honorable discharge?
589
00:45:52,074 --> 00:45:54,167
Objection, Your Honor. Irrelevant.
590
00:45:54,276 --> 00:45:57,404
Your Honor, I can lay
the foundation for this.
591
00:45:58,414 --> 00:45:59,642
Overruled.
592
00:45:59,749 --> 00:46:01,649
Proceed.
593
00:46:03,652 --> 00:46:07,179
No, sir. According to the records,
he did not receive an honorable discharge.
594
00:46:07,289 --> 00:46:08,813
Are these records in your possession?
595
00:46:08,924 --> 00:46:11,392
Your Honor, these records are irrelevant.
596
00:46:11,494 --> 00:46:15,521
Your Honor, these are business records
which show prior similar conduct.
597
00:46:17,166 --> 00:46:21,500
Lieutenant, uh,
are you the custodian of these records?
598
00:46:21,604 --> 00:46:23,469
Yes, sir.
599
00:46:23,572 --> 00:46:26,541
Maintaining these records
is a part of my duty as a staff officer.
600
00:46:28,310 --> 00:46:29,538
Overruled.
601
00:46:31,180 --> 00:46:35,514
Why did the defendant not receive
an honorable discharge?
602
00:46:35,618 --> 00:46:38,553
"Gross misconduct involving
attempted administration...
603
00:46:38,654 --> 00:46:40,554
of an illegal substance to a civilian."
604
00:46:40,656 --> 00:46:42,351
And what was that substance?
605
00:46:43,459 --> 00:46:44,721
Rohypnol.
606
00:46:44,827 --> 00:46:46,818
And the gender of the civilian?
607
00:46:46,929 --> 00:46:47,987
Female.
608
00:46:50,199 --> 00:46:51,598
Your Honor...
609
00:46:51,700 --> 00:46:55,363
we tender State's exhibit 1.
610
00:46:57,740 --> 00:46:59,002
Any objection?
611
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:03,169
I object, Your Honor.
Same reasons as before.
612
00:47:03,279 --> 00:47:05,907
Overruled. Admitted.
613
00:47:06,015 --> 00:47:07,880
Your witness.
614
00:47:11,987 --> 00:47:14,353
No questions at this time.
615
00:47:16,625 --> 00:47:21,494
You have no idea the impact
this is gonna have on the jury.
616
00:47:21,597 --> 00:47:23,064
Start talking.
617
00:47:26,469 --> 00:47:29,097
Just after boot camp...
618
00:47:29,205 --> 00:47:34,006
I went out one night with Lieutenant Monroe
and a buddy named Harry O'Ryan.
619
00:47:34,110 --> 00:47:37,238
They met some girls,
and I went home early.
620
00:47:37,346 --> 00:47:41,180
I guess something happened to the girl's
drink 'cause she ended up in the hospital.
621
00:47:41,283 --> 00:47:44,548
And Lieutenant Monroe
convinced Harry to say that I did it.
622
00:47:47,656 --> 00:47:53,424
So, I took a general discharge
to avoid a court-martial.
623
00:47:53,529 --> 00:47:56,498
Where is this Harry O'Ryan now?
624
00:47:58,033 --> 00:48:00,524
Last I heard, he was out of the corps.
625
00:48:04,006 --> 00:48:06,702
You blew it, Mac.
Monroe was on my witness list.
626
00:48:06,809 --> 00:48:09,107
You should have let me do my job.
627
00:48:09,211 --> 00:48:12,009
And what were the results
of your testing for Rohypnol...
628
00:48:12,114 --> 00:48:14,639
in the blood sample from Angela Hightower?
629
00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:17,014
- Positive at a clinically significant level.
- Which means?
630
00:48:17,119 --> 00:48:19,280
Which means that for a period
before her death...
631
00:48:19,388 --> 00:48:21,288
she would have suffered
from the effects I just described.
632
00:48:21,390 --> 00:48:22,652
- Disorientation?
- Yes.
633
00:48:22,758 --> 00:48:24,487
- Impaired judgment?
- Yes.
634
00:48:24,593 --> 00:48:26,458
- Limited cognitive function?
- Yes.
635
00:48:26,562 --> 00:48:28,325
Inability to protect herself?
636
00:48:29,031 --> 00:48:30,999
Yes, she was helpless.
637
00:48:31,100 --> 00:48:33,625
Your witness, Mr. McClain.
638
00:48:37,673 --> 00:48:41,268
Doctor, did you test Mr. Thomason's
blood for Rohypnol?
639
00:48:41,377 --> 00:48:42,844
Yes. It was negative.
640
00:48:45,047 --> 00:48:47,015
Have you ever heard of
gamma hydroxybutyric?
641
00:48:47,116 --> 00:48:50,779
Yes. It's not very common.
It's known by the initials G.H.B.
642
00:48:50,886 --> 00:48:52,649
Mm-hmm. You know how it operates?
643
00:48:52,755 --> 00:48:55,280
Very similar effects as Rohypnol.
644
00:48:55,391 --> 00:48:57,655
Did you test Mr. Thomason's blood...
645
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:00,695
from the night of Angela's death
for the presence of G.H.B.?
646
00:49:00,796 --> 00:49:03,788
- Yes.
- What were the results?
647
00:49:03,899 --> 00:49:05,196
It was positive.
648
00:49:05,301 --> 00:49:08,532
So, there was disorientation?
Impaired judgment?
649
00:49:08,637 --> 00:49:11,970
Limited cognitive function?
650
00:49:13,943 --> 00:49:15,410
Yes.
651
00:49:16,512 --> 00:49:17,638
Pete.
652
00:49:20,983 --> 00:49:23,076
Was Pete helpless too?
653
00:49:23,185 --> 00:49:24,880
Yes, he was.
654
00:49:26,488 --> 00:49:27,955
Thank you.
655
00:49:33,629 --> 00:49:35,324
We should have caught that one.
656
00:49:57,586 --> 00:50:00,555
You remember Dr. Lewis Newburn's report?
657
00:50:00,656 --> 00:50:05,116
Yep. The one that said our client was
a psychotic with homicidal tendencies, yeah.
658
00:50:05,227 --> 00:50:06,694
- That's the one.
- Mm-hmm.
659
00:50:06,795 --> 00:50:11,732
Well, this is a photo Ray took
the day he followed Spencer.
660
00:50:11,834 --> 00:50:14,098
Guess who Spencer was going to see?
661
00:50:14,203 --> 00:50:17,832
The guy you used to date,
the one that lived with his mom.
662
00:50:17,940 --> 00:50:19,840
- What was his name- Rupert?
- No.
663
00:50:19,942 --> 00:50:21,273
- Randall?
- No.
664
00:50:21,377 --> 00:50:23,971
- Rudolf?
- No!
665
00:50:24,079 --> 00:50:27,446
Dr. Lewis Newburn.
666
00:50:27,549 --> 00:50:30,575
And his name is Ronnie, by the way.
667
00:50:30,686 --> 00:50:33,587
And his mother was living with himl
668
00:50:33,689 --> 00:50:36,419
Dr. Newburn, where is your office located?
669
00:50:36,525 --> 00:50:39,085
400 West Lenox Street.
670
00:50:39,194 --> 00:50:41,719
And this is where you see your patients?
671
00:50:41,830 --> 00:50:44,663
Yes. Except for those in the hospital.
672
00:50:44,767 --> 00:50:46,564
Is Spencer Hightower one of your patients?
673
00:50:46,669 --> 00:50:48,136
No.
674
00:50:52,775 --> 00:50:54,242
He's a client.
675
00:50:54,343 --> 00:50:57,779
I thought you saw "patients."
676
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,579
I'm his financial adviser...
the trustee of a trust set up by his father.
677
00:51:03,419 --> 00:51:05,148
So you control his money.
678
00:51:05,254 --> 00:51:07,620
- Just some of it.
- How much?
679
00:51:07,723 --> 00:51:10,055
Objection. That is irrelevant.
680
00:51:10,592 --> 00:51:12,116
Sustained.
681
00:51:13,762 --> 00:51:15,662
Are you paid for your advice?
682
00:51:17,433 --> 00:51:20,095
There is a fee authorized by the trust.
683
00:51:20,202 --> 00:51:22,170
And how much is this authorized fee?
684
00:51:22,271 --> 00:51:23,465
Same objection.
685
00:51:24,807 --> 00:51:25,933
Overruled.
686
00:51:28,210 --> 00:51:30,041
Around $50,000.
687
00:51:30,145 --> 00:51:34,707
But that had nothing to do
with my evaluation of the defendant.
688
00:51:35,784 --> 00:51:37,775
I'm sure it didn't.
689
00:51:37,886 --> 00:51:39,854
No further questions, Your Honor.
690
00:51:51,367 --> 00:51:54,530
501, 503.
691
00:51:57,506 --> 00:51:58,973
Yes.
692
00:52:19,094 --> 00:52:20,857
Harry O'Ryan!
693
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:28,566
Don't run! I'm not a cop!
694
00:52:28,670 --> 00:52:31,036
I'm here about Pete Thomason.
695
00:52:33,208 --> 00:52:35,608
Relax, I ain't gonna chase you.
696
00:52:35,711 --> 00:52:39,670
Pete's always been a hard-luck guy,
but this is unbelievable.
697
00:52:41,950 --> 00:52:44,214
He's no killer.
698
00:52:44,319 --> 00:52:46,310
Glad to hear you say that.
699
00:52:47,423 --> 00:52:49,084
Yeah.
700
00:52:49,858 --> 00:52:52,156
Look.
701
00:52:52,261 --> 00:52:56,095
This whole thing with the girls...
that was Buster's idea.
702
00:52:56,198 --> 00:52:57,893
Buster?
703
00:52:59,134 --> 00:53:01,227
Lieutenant Monroe.
704
00:53:01,336 --> 00:53:03,395
He slipped the girls the drugs...
705
00:53:03,505 --> 00:53:05,735
dropped me off
at another bar down the street.
706
00:53:05,841 --> 00:53:08,537
Pete wasn't even with us at that point.
707
00:53:08,644 --> 00:53:10,544
The girls, they don't
remember anything, 'cause...
708
00:53:12,381 --> 00:53:14,281
well, they were out of it.
709
00:53:19,655 --> 00:53:21,782
When things started
to go south for Buster...
710
00:53:25,627 --> 00:53:27,925
I agreed to back him up.
711
00:53:28,030 --> 00:53:29,930
Pete got nailed for it.
712
00:53:31,667 --> 00:53:33,134
Look.
713
00:53:35,838 --> 00:53:37,897
Buster's still in the corps.
714
00:53:38,006 --> 00:53:41,100
He'll say anything to make sure
his record stays clean.
715
00:53:41,210 --> 00:53:42,905
Which is why Pete needs you.
716
00:53:44,980 --> 00:53:47,175
No, man, I don't...
717
00:53:47,282 --> 00:53:49,944
Look, I'd like to help and all,
but I just don't think so.
718
00:53:50,052 --> 00:53:51,849
He needs your help.
719
00:53:53,455 --> 00:53:57,585
If you do this,
you will unburden yourself...
720
00:53:58,694 --> 00:54:01,754
give yourself one less thing to chase you.
721
00:54:08,003 --> 00:54:11,029
Well, now, it was a warm night that night...
722
00:54:11,139 --> 00:54:15,405
so I had rolled my window down
to let some air in, you know.
723
00:54:15,511 --> 00:54:17,502
And of course, I can spit out of it too...
724
00:54:17,613 --> 00:54:19,945
and I don't have to use my spit cup
I keep in the front seat.
725
00:54:20,048 --> 00:54:21,948
How fast were you traveling, Rodney?
726
00:54:23,252 --> 00:54:25,846
Uh, well...
727
00:54:25,954 --> 00:54:27,683
uh, Judge, I ain't gonna lie to you.
728
00:54:27,789 --> 00:54:29,848
Now, I was speeding.
729
00:54:29,958 --> 00:54:31,755
I was going too fast that night.
730
00:54:31,860 --> 00:54:33,418
Now, I had a good excuse.
731
00:54:33,529 --> 00:54:36,987
I was trying to get to the hospital.
My daughter was having her baby.
732
00:54:37,099 --> 00:54:40,364
And I was going just a little too fast,
I reckon.
733
00:54:40,469 --> 00:54:42,801
But, now, I'm a good driver.
734
00:54:42,905 --> 00:54:45,635
I'm a good driver.
I ain't had a ticket since 1958.
735
00:54:45,741 --> 00:54:48,369
And you can look that up.
That's all typed on the record.
736
00:54:48,477 --> 00:54:52,311
You can ask anybody, but that night,
yeah, I was going a little too fast.
737
00:54:52,414 --> 00:54:55,110
I had too much truck.
It's that old '71 I had.
738
00:54:55,217 --> 00:54:57,549
Ross Weatherford sold me that thing.
It was brand new.
739
00:54:57,653 --> 00:55:00,645
I paid too much money for it too.
It was just too much truck.
740
00:55:00,756 --> 00:55:05,159
Mr. McFarland, could you tell us what
caused you to run off the road that night?
741
00:55:05,260 --> 00:55:10,061
Well, it was... it was that yellow car,
followed by that purple car.
742
00:55:10,165 --> 00:55:13,532
And how close was the purple car
to the yellow Porsche?
743
00:55:13,635 --> 00:55:18,436
Oh, son, if he'd have been any closer, he
could've hooked on bumpers for a free tow.
744
00:55:18,540 --> 00:55:20,804
I mean, he was in
his hip pocket, you know.
745
00:55:20,909 --> 00:55:23,605
And, Judge, another thing
about that purple car.
746
00:55:23,712 --> 00:55:25,976
Uh, he-he hit my truck that night.
747
00:55:26,081 --> 00:55:29,744
And as of yet, ain't nobody
stepped up to pay for it.
748
00:55:30,519 --> 00:55:31,986
I'm waiting.
749
00:55:33,722 --> 00:55:36,520
Thank you, Mr. McFarland.
No more questions.
750
00:55:40,395 --> 00:55:44,126
Can you tell us what tests
you performed, Dr. Wilkes?
751
00:55:44,232 --> 00:55:48,225
W.A.I.S. I.Q. testing, Rorschach...
752
00:55:48,337 --> 00:55:52,433
Beck's Depression Inventory
and general achievement testing.
753
00:55:52,541 --> 00:55:55,669
And have you read
Dr. Newburn's evaluation?
754
00:55:55,777 --> 00:55:57,244
I have.
755
00:55:57,346 --> 00:56:01,373
What's your opinion about
the validity of his report?
756
00:56:01,483 --> 00:56:03,576
I disagree with its findings.
757
00:56:03,685 --> 00:56:06,313
Mr. Thomason is not a sociopath.
758
00:56:06,421 --> 00:56:08,616
He's depressed.
759
00:56:08,724 --> 00:56:11,750
And how is your report
different from Dr. Newburn's?
760
00:56:11,860 --> 00:56:16,422
My evaluation is based on
objective testing and a clinical interview.
761
00:56:16,531 --> 00:56:21,298
Dr. Newburn's opinion is based
solely on one brief interview.
762
00:56:22,304 --> 00:56:23,271
Thank you.
763
00:56:25,273 --> 00:56:26,740
Your witness.
764
00:56:29,778 --> 00:56:32,303
Ms. Wilkes, who hired you in this case?
765
00:56:32,414 --> 00:56:35,315
Excuse me, Your Honor. It's Dr. Wilkes.
766
00:56:35,417 --> 00:56:38,318
The witness has been
qualified as an expert.
767
00:56:39,688 --> 00:56:41,280
Dr. Wilkes.
768
00:56:41,390 --> 00:56:44,154
I was contacted by Mr. McClain's office.
769
00:56:44,259 --> 00:56:47,888
Would it be fair to say that
your contact with Mr. McClain...
770
00:56:47,996 --> 00:56:50,863
has gone beyond the professional?
771
00:56:50,966 --> 00:56:53,992
Objection, Your Honor. Irrelevant.
772
00:56:54,102 --> 00:56:57,265
He's got her on cross. Overruled.
773
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:00,508
The witness will answer the question.
774
00:57:02,678 --> 00:57:05,112
Of course not.
775
00:57:05,213 --> 00:57:10,276
Your Honor, these photographs
were previously entered into evidence.
776
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:12,216
Permission to publish?
777
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:13,617
Granted.
778
00:57:14,523 --> 00:57:18,118
Could you, uh, tell the jury...
779
00:57:18,226 --> 00:57:21,286
what's going on in this picture?
780
00:57:22,798 --> 00:57:26,290
Mr. McClain and I are sharing
a piece of peanut butter pie.
781
00:57:27,602 --> 00:57:29,229
- Was it good?
- Yeah.
782
00:57:29,337 --> 00:57:31,737
If you like peanut butter.
783
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,570
And, uh, hmm...
784
00:57:34,676 --> 00:57:36,166
what about this one?
785
00:57:38,113 --> 00:57:41,708
That's Mr. McClain in front of my house.
I have a home office.
786
00:57:43,318 --> 00:57:48,654
Did you, uh, do anything besides
talk about this case?
787
00:57:50,392 --> 00:57:52,383
He played catch with my son.
788
00:57:52,494 --> 00:57:53,984
We drank coffee.
789
00:57:55,931 --> 00:58:00,925
Don't you think this jury
should be concerned...
790
00:58:01,036 --> 00:58:03,095
about the neutrality of your opinion?
791
00:58:03,205 --> 00:58:05,298
Not at all.
792
00:58:05,407 --> 00:58:06,965
Mr. McClain is a fine man...
793
00:58:07,075 --> 00:58:09,771
but my opinion on his client
is based on testing.
794
00:58:11,213 --> 00:58:12,908
I'm sure it is.
795
00:58:21,556 --> 00:58:23,456
Pete had nothing to do with this.
796
00:58:24,493 --> 00:58:26,893
He was already back at the base.
797
00:58:26,995 --> 00:58:32,433
Harry, can you tell the court why you wanted
to come forward today and tell the truth?
798
00:58:34,002 --> 00:58:37,768
Um, well, when I heard that Pete
had been charged with murder...
799
00:58:37,873 --> 00:58:40,569
and that Lieutenant Monroe
was testifying against him...
800
00:58:40,675 --> 00:58:44,008
I knew that I had to come forward,
clear the record.
801
00:58:46,047 --> 00:58:50,916
I guess I was just...
tired of having this follow me around.
802
00:58:52,087 --> 00:58:53,884
Thank you.
803
00:58:53,989 --> 00:58:56,116
No more questions.
804
00:58:56,224 --> 00:58:58,124
Your witness.
805
00:59:05,367 --> 00:59:07,631
Mr. O'Ryan...
806
00:59:07,736 --> 00:59:12,105
how many different stories have you told
about what happened that night?
807
00:59:14,943 --> 00:59:16,672
At least two.
808
00:59:16,778 --> 00:59:21,408
And in both versions,
you didn't do anything wrong, did you?
809
00:59:21,516 --> 00:59:24,383
You mean besides not telling the truth?
810
00:59:24,486 --> 00:59:29,753
Well, you've had some problems in the past
with telling the truth, haven't you?
811
00:59:31,326 --> 00:59:35,695
I mean, for instance,
if you write a bad check...
812
00:59:35,797 --> 00:59:37,492
well, that's a lie, isn't it?
813
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:42,502
I mean, you're saying you have money
in the bank that you don't have.
814
00:59:44,239 --> 00:59:46,400
No, not exactly.
815
00:59:46,508 --> 00:59:51,275
Are you the same Harry O'Ryan
convicted of writing bad checks...
816
00:59:51,379 --> 00:59:54,371
to convenience stores,
gas stations and liquor stores...
817
00:59:54,482 --> 00:59:58,316
in Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina and Georgia?
818
01:00:03,258 --> 01:00:04,725
Yes.
819
01:00:04,826 --> 01:00:09,490
Do you know how many false writings
are represented in these pages?
820
01:00:10,899 --> 01:00:12,560
No.
821
01:00:12,667 --> 01:00:17,468
Well, would you be interested in learning
that you've written 137 bad checks...
822
01:00:17,572 --> 01:00:20,063
during the past two and half years...
823
01:00:20,175 --> 01:00:24,509
resulting in 13 arrest warrants
in four different states?
824
01:00:27,916 --> 01:00:29,611
I've made some mistakes.
825
01:00:29,718 --> 01:00:32,983
Would you like to add perjury
to the list of crimes you call mistakes?
826
01:00:33,088 --> 01:00:35,181
- Objectionl
- Withdrawn.
827
01:01:02,117 --> 01:01:03,709
I'm ready.
828
01:01:03,818 --> 01:01:06,116
And I see why you wanted me to go last.
829
01:01:06,221 --> 01:01:10,749
'Cause now that I've heard everybody else,
I think it's gonna help me a lot.
830
01:01:10,859 --> 01:01:13,794
Unless you can think of something else,
you're not going to testify.
831
01:01:13,895 --> 01:01:16,261
Why? I'll tell the truth.
832
01:01:16,364 --> 01:01:19,527
What... that you loved her
and that you can't remember anything?
833
01:01:19,634 --> 01:01:23,263
If you look dumb,
Joe Whetstone will make you look guilty.
834
01:01:23,371 --> 01:01:25,566
We have a chance to win this.
835
01:01:25,674 --> 01:01:27,665
I want the last thing
the jury sees and hears...
836
01:01:27,776 --> 01:01:31,371
is to be Spencer Hightower's face
and what he has to say.
837
01:01:39,654 --> 01:01:43,590
The defense would like to call Alexander
Hightower to the stand, Your Honor.
838
01:01:55,537 --> 01:01:58,233
Mr. Hightower,
would you read this to the jury please?
839
01:01:58,340 --> 01:02:00,331
Whole thing?
840
01:02:00,442 --> 01:02:02,137
Yes. The whole thing.
841
01:02:06,815 --> 01:02:09,306
"Dear Dad...
842
01:02:09,417 --> 01:02:13,581
"I don't know how to tell you this except
to come out and say it.
843
01:02:15,090 --> 01:02:18,423
"Spencer has been bothering me.
844
01:02:18,526 --> 01:02:22,394
"He's been writing me letters,
saying things he shouldn't say...
845
01:02:22,497 --> 01:02:25,864
"and asking if he could come
visit me here at school.
846
01:02:27,402 --> 01:02:31,236
"I called him and told him to stop,
but he won't leave me alone.
847
01:02:32,741 --> 01:02:35,039
"Over Christmas break,
he made a pass at me.
848
01:02:35,143 --> 01:02:39,102
"I slapped him and he got mad,
and I hoped that was the end of it.
849
01:02:39,214 --> 01:02:43,844
"He won't stop calling.
He won't stop bothering me.
850
01:02:45,453 --> 01:02:47,683
"You have to make him get some help.
851
01:02:49,357 --> 01:02:51,222
"He is scaring me.
852
01:02:51,326 --> 01:02:53,556
"Please-
853
01:02:54,462 --> 01:02:56,487
"Please make it end.
854
01:02:58,099 --> 01:02:59,999
"I know you'll take care of it, Dad.
855
01:03:01,836 --> 01:03:04,396
Love, Angela."
856
01:03:08,143 --> 01:03:12,307
- Did you receive this letter, Mr. Hightower?
- No. I did not.
857
01:03:13,581 --> 01:03:15,139
Do you wish you had?
858
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:16,945
Oh, yeah.
859
01:03:23,425 --> 01:03:25,757
No further questions.
860
01:03:25,860 --> 01:03:27,327
Mr. Hightower.
861
01:03:28,630 --> 01:03:31,428
Who was the last person
you saw with Angela?
862
01:03:31,533 --> 01:03:34,764
The defendant, when he picked her up.
863
01:03:34,869 --> 01:03:38,566
And do you know where
your brother Spencer was that night?
864
01:03:38,673 --> 01:03:40,436
He was with me.
865
01:03:42,243 --> 01:03:45,144
No more questions, Your Honor.
866
01:03:45,246 --> 01:03:47,339
Mr. Hightower has suffered enough.
867
01:03:48,283 --> 01:03:51,013
Mr. Hightower, you may step down.
868
01:03:56,958 --> 01:04:00,416
The defense calls
Spencer Hightower to the stand.
869
01:04:06,868 --> 01:04:08,563
How ya doin'?
870
01:04:12,173 --> 01:04:14,641
Mr. Hightower,
would you read this to the jury, please?
871
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,275
"Spencer, do not call or write again.
872
01:04:22,383 --> 01:04:24,544
"I do not want to see you or talk to you.
873
01:04:24,652 --> 01:04:28,053
"If I hear one more word from you,
I'll tell my dad.
874
01:04:28,156 --> 01:04:30,522
"I mean it. Get some help.
875
01:04:31,493 --> 01:04:32,960
Angela."
876
01:04:34,028 --> 01:04:35,928
Did you receive that letter?
877
01:04:39,234 --> 01:04:40,758
Yeah.
878
01:04:43,138 --> 01:04:45,106
Sounds like Angela was quite upset
with you, doesn't it?
879
01:04:45,206 --> 01:04:48,175
- I don't know.
- She was tired of you harassing her, wasn't she?
880
01:04:48,276 --> 01:04:50,744
It was, uh... It was a misunderstanding.
881
01:04:51,813 --> 01:04:53,644
I didn't harass her.
882
01:04:53,748 --> 01:04:55,716
Did she slap you at a Christmas party?
883
01:04:58,853 --> 01:05:00,445
- It was more of a push.
- A push.
884
01:05:00,555 --> 01:05:03,080
Why would she have to push you?
What were you trying to do?
885
01:05:03,191 --> 01:05:06,160
- Nothing. It was no big deal.
- No big deal.
886
01:05:06,261 --> 01:05:09,526
Is that how Angela would've phrased it...
that it was "no big deal"?
887
01:05:09,631 --> 01:05:11,792
I don't know. Why don't you ask her?
888
01:05:11,900 --> 01:05:14,334
And we can't do that,
can we, Mr. Hightower?
889
01:05:20,041 --> 01:05:21,508
Mr. Hightower.
890
01:05:23,545 --> 01:05:27,208
This is a bank statement
from your personal trust.
891
01:05:30,718 --> 01:05:33,846
Would it surprise you to know that there
was a $50,000 cash withdrawal...
892
01:05:33,955 --> 01:05:36,446
two days before the death of Angela?
893
01:05:36,558 --> 01:05:38,753
Objection, Your Honor.
894
01:05:38,860 --> 01:05:41,385
The witness's bank records are irrelevant.
895
01:05:41,496 --> 01:05:42,793
Sustained.
896
01:05:42,897 --> 01:05:44,956
Thank you.
897
01:05:45,066 --> 01:05:47,398
Are you a wealthy man, Mr. Hightower?
898
01:05:49,070 --> 01:05:51,300
Well, it depends on who you compare me to.
899
01:05:51,406 --> 01:05:55,240
How about if we compare you to most
people in Echota County?
900
01:05:57,679 --> 01:06:00,079
Most people from Echota County
live in trailers.
901
01:06:00,181 --> 01:06:02,046
Are you trying to be funny?
902
01:06:02,150 --> 01:06:05,984
Listen, Mr. McDonald,
or whatever your name is...
903
01:06:06,087 --> 01:06:08,317
- I shouldn't be here answering
your stupid questions.
904
01:06:10,858 --> 01:06:15,591
You're here because Mr. McClain
called you as a witness...
905
01:06:15,697 --> 01:06:19,258
and you will answer every
single one of his questions...
906
01:06:19,367 --> 01:06:23,167
unless I instruct you to do otherwise.
907
01:06:23,938 --> 01:06:25,633
Do you understand?
908
01:06:29,010 --> 01:06:30,705
Yes, Your Honor.
909
01:06:30,812 --> 01:06:33,576
Did you hire someone to kill Angela?
910
01:06:33,681 --> 01:06:36,343
That's a stupid question.
911
01:06:37,452 --> 01:06:39,613
But the answer is no.
912
01:06:39,721 --> 01:06:43,623
Did you drug Angela and Pete
to make it look like he was responsible?
913
01:06:43,725 --> 01:06:45,317
No.
914
01:06:49,631 --> 01:06:51,758
No more questions.
915
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,530
Thank you.
916
01:07:51,159 --> 01:07:53,627
"Reasonable doubt"...
917
01:07:53,728 --> 01:07:56,959
two words we rarely use
in everyday conversation.
918
01:07:58,633 --> 01:08:00,328
Let me tell you what it means.
919
01:08:01,903 --> 01:08:06,602
Some portion of your mind
may suspect Peter Thomason is guilty...
920
01:08:07,775 --> 01:08:11,472
but if, after considering
all the evidence...
921
01:08:12,980 --> 01:08:17,542
you remain wavering and unsettled...
922
01:08:17,652 --> 01:08:21,679
it is your duty to give Pete
the benefit of the doubt...
923
01:08:21,789 --> 01:08:24,189
and find him not guilty of these charges.
924
01:08:27,195 --> 01:08:29,993
In my opening statement, I said the person
most likely responsible...
925
01:08:30,098 --> 01:08:34,398
for the murder of Angela Hightower
was not in this courtroom.
926
01:08:36,671 --> 01:08:38,730
Now you know why I made that statement.
927
01:08:40,641 --> 01:08:44,907
I'm not here to prosecute
Spencer Hightower.
928
01:08:45,012 --> 01:08:48,971
That is a case for another day,
and I trust that day come soon.
929
01:08:49,083 --> 01:08:53,577
Mr. Whetstone is going
to speak to you after I finish.
930
01:08:55,690 --> 01:08:57,385
Listen to him carefully.
931
01:08:57,492 --> 01:09:00,017
That's right. Listen to him carefully.
932
01:09:00,128 --> 01:09:04,758
And then ask yourself if he has
answered to your satisfaction...
933
01:09:04,866 --> 01:09:08,131
each and every one of the grounds
for reasonable doubt.
934
01:09:09,737 --> 01:09:11,728
He can't do it.
935
01:09:11,839 --> 01:09:17,675
Because the truth is Peter Thomason did
not kill Angela Hightower.
936
01:09:17,779 --> 01:09:22,216
And I ask you, on his behalf...
937
01:09:24,018 --> 01:09:25,986
to find him not guilty.
938
01:09:29,791 --> 01:09:31,258
Thank you.
939
01:09:48,643 --> 01:09:50,907
Ladies and gentlemen...
940
01:09:51,012 --> 01:09:56,473
the technique used by the defendant
and his lawyer against these charges...
941
01:09:56,584 --> 01:10:00,645
is called a "red herring defense."
942
01:10:00,755 --> 01:10:06,853
Now, a red herring is a fish
that protects its eggs from predators...
943
01:10:06,961 --> 01:10:09,327
by darting in front of the enemy...
944
01:10:09,430 --> 01:10:13,332
and diverting attention
from where the eggs are hidden.
945
01:10:14,869 --> 01:10:17,497
In this trial...
946
01:10:17,605 --> 01:10:22,065
the defendant views you as the enemy...
947
01:10:22,176 --> 01:10:25,703
because you have the power
to take away his freedom.
948
01:10:27,148 --> 01:10:32,051
He's desperate and he has resorted
to skillful measures...
949
01:10:32,153 --> 01:10:36,613
in order to distract you
from your rightful goal.
950
01:10:38,926 --> 01:10:42,362
The red herring is a very smart fish.
951
01:10:44,198 --> 01:10:48,328
Mr. McClain is a very smart lawyer.
952
01:10:50,338 --> 01:10:54,775
Every one of the defenses
that Mr. McClain has raised...
953
01:10:54,876 --> 01:11:00,781
is a red herring calculated to keep you
from focusing on the evidence.
954
01:11:02,083 --> 01:11:04,142
Use your common sense.
955
01:11:04,252 --> 01:11:08,746
The defendant was captured by the police
at the scene of the crime.
956
01:11:08,856 --> 01:11:13,793
He is the only person
who had the opportunity and the motive...
957
01:11:13,895 --> 01:11:16,489
to have murdered Angela.
958
01:11:16,597 --> 01:11:22,001
Peter Thomason
is a predator with a history.
959
01:11:34,081 --> 01:11:38,745
We all wish Angela could be with us today...
960
01:11:38,853 --> 01:11:40,753
but she can't.
961
01:11:43,324 --> 01:11:45,224
On Angela's behalf...
962
01:11:46,961 --> 01:11:51,864
I have complete confidence
in your ability...
963
01:11:51,966 --> 01:11:57,063
to render the only just verdict
possible in this case...
964
01:11:57,171 --> 01:11:59,639
a verdict of guilty.
965
01:12:15,556 --> 01:12:19,788
Court is adjourned until
Monday morning at 9.:00 a. m.
966
01:12:24,966 --> 01:12:27,958
What do you think they'll decide?
Is it a good jury?
967
01:12:30,037 --> 01:12:32,938
If I can get one on my side,
I can hang it.
968
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,634
If I can get three,
they'll convince the rest.
969
01:12:38,079 --> 01:12:39,774
Are you scared?
970
01:12:41,482 --> 01:12:42,949
Yes.
971
01:12:44,285 --> 01:12:45,752
Why?
972
01:12:48,189 --> 01:12:50,419
Because someone's life is in my hands.
973
01:12:53,894 --> 01:12:56,294
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...
974
01:12:57,298 --> 01:12:59,425
have you reached a verdict?
975
01:13:02,103 --> 01:13:04,094
Yes, we have, Your Honor.
976
01:13:05,940 --> 01:13:08,738
Will the defendant please rise?
977
01:13:12,847 --> 01:13:14,815
Madam Foreperson...
978
01:13:14,915 --> 01:13:18,078
would you please announce the verdict?
979
01:13:19,987 --> 01:13:24,014
We find the defendant, Peter Thomason,
guilty of first-degree murder.
980
01:13:25,793 --> 01:13:27,727
The jury will return on Tuesday...
981
01:13:27,828 --> 01:13:31,855
to commence the sentencing phase
of the case.
982
01:13:31,966 --> 01:13:33,661
Court is adjourned.
983
01:13:35,603 --> 01:13:37,070
I'm sorry.
984
01:13:38,072 --> 01:13:39,767
I'm so sorry.
985
01:14:07,435 --> 01:14:09,335
He reminds me of my son.
986
01:14:10,905 --> 01:14:13,430
- Death penalty?
- Or 25 years.
987
01:14:13,541 --> 01:14:15,441
Those are my only two options?
988
01:14:17,611 --> 01:14:19,909
When you gonna start living again, Mac?
989
01:15:12,933 --> 01:15:15,902
I heard you say
that grief was like a river.
990
01:15:18,472 --> 01:15:21,805
Well, if that's the case,
then I'm drowning.
991
01:15:28,349 --> 01:15:32,308
You spend your whole life
looking for that special someone.
992
01:15:34,021 --> 01:15:37,354
Then you find her,
you build a life together...
993
01:15:37,458 --> 01:15:40,120
you raise two of
the greatest kids in the world.
994
01:15:43,664 --> 01:15:45,598
And then it's all taken from you...
995
01:15:47,301 --> 01:15:50,759
without your having a chance
to even say good-bye.
996
01:15:54,542 --> 01:15:56,442
And it's all your fault.
997
01:15:58,379 --> 01:16:00,279
How do you come back from that?
998
01:16:06,020 --> 01:16:10,855
I want to believe that there
is a time and a place to heal.
999
01:16:13,561 --> 01:16:17,019
But when is that time
and where is that place for me?
1000
01:16:30,244 --> 01:16:32,940
When you've come as far
as you can by yourself...
1001
01:16:34,882 --> 01:16:36,577
you let go...
1002
01:16:39,019 --> 01:16:41,453
and you realize...
1003
01:16:41,555 --> 01:16:45,321
that God has a reason that your life
didn't end that night too.
1004
01:18:34,034 --> 01:18:37,663
Right before Judge Danielson called me
and asked me to take this case...
1005
01:18:40,441 --> 01:18:43,535
I held a gun in one hand
and a bottle of pills in the other.
1006
01:18:45,079 --> 01:18:48,344
I was trying to decide
which way to end my life.
1007
01:18:50,250 --> 01:18:53,447
That phone call saved me
from making a terrible mistake.
1008
01:18:56,757 --> 01:18:58,748
When you retire to the jury room...
1009
01:18:58,859 --> 01:19:03,853
I'm going to ask you to consider one word
in deciding Pete's fate.
1010
01:19:05,799 --> 01:19:08,791
What is that word?
1011
01:19:11,171 --> 01:19:16,404
The word I want you to think about
is an ordinary word.
1012
01:19:18,145 --> 01:19:22,343
Standing alone, it doesn't inspire emotion,
doesn't pull at the heartstrings.
1013
01:19:24,084 --> 01:19:28,418
Ladies and gentlemen, the word is "life."
1014
01:19:30,324 --> 01:19:34,886
We live in a world
where human life is cheap.
1015
01:19:34,995 --> 01:19:37,520
People suffer and people starve,
and nobody seems to notice.
1016
01:19:37,631 --> 01:19:40,464
Nobody seems to care.
1017
01:19:40,567 --> 01:19:43,263
But as a member of this jury...
1018
01:19:43,370 --> 01:19:46,533
you are part of a system of justice...
1019
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,837
that affirms life as inherently valuable...
1020
01:19:49,943 --> 01:19:52,070
a gift from God that
should not be taken away...
1021
01:19:52,179 --> 01:19:54,875
except in the most
extraordinary circumstances.
1022
01:19:57,751 --> 01:19:59,548
What I know now and what I didn't know...
1023
01:19:59,653 --> 01:20:03,214
when I held that gun
and those pills in my hand...
1024
01:20:03,323 --> 01:20:07,316
is that life has value...
1025
01:20:07,428 --> 01:20:12,263
no matter how dark the past
or tortured the present.
1026
01:20:15,436 --> 01:20:18,200
Ladies and gentlemen,
you have two choices before you...
1027
01:20:20,207 --> 01:20:23,142
life or death.
1028
01:20:25,446 --> 01:20:27,414
I ask you to choose life.
1029
01:20:51,572 --> 01:20:53,039
For you.
1030
01:20:54,074 --> 01:20:55,541
- Cell phone.
- Ahh.
1031
01:20:56,543 --> 01:20:58,238
- Thank you...
- You're welcome.
1032
01:20:58,345 --> 01:21:00,040
- I think.
- Jury's in.
1033
01:21:00,147 --> 01:21:02,206
Have you reached a decision?
1034
01:21:04,184 --> 01:21:05,879
Yes, sir, we have.
1035
01:21:06,887 --> 01:21:09,287
Will the defendant please rise?
1036
01:21:12,192 --> 01:21:16,959
Madam Foreperson, would you
please announce the decision?
1037
01:21:18,799 --> 01:21:21,768
We recommend a life sentence
with a possibility of parole.
1038
01:21:27,674 --> 01:21:29,141
Don't worry.
1039
01:21:30,644 --> 01:21:32,111
Hey, Mac.
1040
01:21:34,348 --> 01:21:36,908
I'm glad you didn't pull the trigger.
1041
01:21:41,788 --> 01:21:44,154
This isn't over. I'm going to file
a motion for a new trial.
1042
01:21:44,258 --> 01:21:45,748
We're gonna keep digging.
1043
01:22:09,950 --> 01:22:11,850
Did you discover something?
1044
01:22:11,952 --> 01:22:17,515
Five of the companies that receive money
from the trust all have the same president.
1045
01:22:18,926 --> 01:22:20,450
- Spencer.
- No.
1046
01:22:20,561 --> 01:22:23,029
Dr. Lewis Newburn.
1047
01:22:23,130 --> 01:22:27,829
Now why would Spencer set Dr. Newburn up
as head of a bunch of dummy companies?
1048
01:22:29,036 --> 01:22:30,731
That's a good question.
1049
01:22:33,774 --> 01:22:37,039
Let's get subpoenas for detailed records
on all five companies...
1050
01:22:37,144 --> 01:22:39,908
and serve Newburn
before the end of the day.
1051
01:22:40,013 --> 01:22:44,211
I bet that doctor knows more about what's
going on with Spencer than he's admitted.
1052
01:22:44,318 --> 01:22:46,343
I bet you're right.
1053
01:22:56,597 --> 01:22:58,394
From Mac McClain.
1054
01:22:58,498 --> 01:23:00,193
Have a nice day.
1055
01:23:23,523 --> 01:23:26,253
She's a beauty. Just put her out.
1056
01:23:28,161 --> 01:23:30,994
Uh, what can you tell me about her?
1057
01:23:31,098 --> 01:23:33,658
One owner, low miles.
1058
01:23:33,767 --> 01:23:37,703
Other than those minor scratches there
in the front, she's in perfect condition.
1059
01:23:37,804 --> 01:23:39,601
- Did you handle the trade-in?
- Sure did.
1060
01:23:39,706 --> 01:23:43,870
Guy wanted to trade it in for something
he could take off-road with instead.
1061
01:23:43,977 --> 01:23:49,244
This baby's built to be king of the highway,
not slogging through a mudhole.
1062
01:23:49,349 --> 01:23:51,317
- She's got power...
- I'll take it.
1063
01:23:51,418 --> 01:23:53,249
One condition...
1064
01:23:53,353 --> 01:23:56,720
I'd like to speak with the original owner.
1065
01:23:56,823 --> 01:24:01,658
- We don't normally...
- I got cash, in case you want to sling this sled today.
1066
01:25:01,855 --> 01:25:03,618
And stick close to the phone.
1067
01:25:03,724 --> 01:25:06,488
I want to be able to get you
at a moment's notice.
1068
01:25:07,594 --> 01:25:09,892
Don't screw up like you did the last time.
1069
01:25:13,300 --> 01:25:15,131
Give me about an hour.
Wait for the call.
1070
01:25:16,403 --> 01:25:17,870
Then go get him.
1071
01:25:29,516 --> 01:25:30,983
Yeah?
1072
01:25:35,021 --> 01:25:36,488
Back here!
1073
01:25:42,129 --> 01:25:44,324
- Dr. Newburn.
- I, um...
1074
01:25:44,431 --> 01:25:48,060
I was on the way home,
so I brought those records you requested.
1075
01:25:48,168 --> 01:25:50,500
Thank you.
You can set them down right there.
1076
01:26:03,216 --> 01:26:06,083
- You got any more coffee?
- Sure.
1077
01:26:31,211 --> 01:26:33,111
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1078
01:26:36,683 --> 01:26:39,550
"Newly discovered evidence."
1079
01:26:41,288 --> 01:26:43,381
Is that what this is?
1080
01:26:44,991 --> 01:26:46,481
Maybe.
1081
01:26:46,593 --> 01:26:50,154
Hey, maybe you could save us
a bunch of time and tell us what's inside.
1082
01:26:53,533 --> 01:26:57,833
Well, uh, that I'm the president
of each of the companies.
1083
01:27:01,308 --> 01:27:04,141
Who are the other shareholders?
1084
01:27:04,244 --> 01:27:06,804
Let me ask you a question, Mr. McClain.
1085
01:27:06,913 --> 01:27:09,279
Are you going to go after Spencer
with the evidence I'm giving you?
1086
01:27:09,382 --> 01:27:11,077
Whatever it takes to help my client.
1087
01:27:12,652 --> 01:27:14,347
I'm sure you will.
1088
01:27:15,922 --> 01:27:19,050
Have you considered
the effect it might have?
1089
01:27:19,159 --> 01:27:24,096
You see, what concerns me
is the effect it might have on me.
1090
01:27:24,197 --> 01:27:27,655
Well, just like the bank,
you had to answer the subpoena.
1091
01:27:27,767 --> 01:27:30,736
You know,
you're a slick lawyer, Mr. McClain.
1092
01:27:30,837 --> 01:27:32,634
But this is one thing
you didn't figure out.
1093
01:27:32,739 --> 01:27:36,675
You see, you're going to
ask your questions, and Alex will ask his.
1094
01:27:36,776 --> 01:27:41,372
And he's going to ask questions
that I don't want to answer.
1095
01:27:41,481 --> 01:27:43,574
You see, Spencer doesn't know
about the companies.
1096
01:27:43,683 --> 01:27:47,642
They weren't set up for him.
He has plenty of money.
1097
01:27:50,957 --> 01:27:52,481
You embezzled.
1098
01:27:52,592 --> 01:27:59,395
Well, did you know that Alex and Angela
both have trusts too?
1099
01:27:59,499 --> 01:28:04,436
And that upon their deaths, that money is
going to flow directly into Spencer's trust...
1100
01:28:04,538 --> 01:28:08,736
and, well, he doesn't
keep close tabs on it.
1101
01:28:10,210 --> 01:28:12,201
Alex isn't dead.
1102
01:28:17,050 --> 01:28:18,517
Not yet.
1103
01:28:22,556 --> 01:28:24,547
Yeah, come get him.
1104
01:28:24,658 --> 01:28:26,626
I've done most of your work for you.
1105
01:28:36,436 --> 01:28:38,563
Well, now, Mr. McClain...
1106
01:28:43,343 --> 01:28:45,243
looks like you're going to take a swim.
1107
01:28:48,281 --> 01:28:52,308
You see, here's what I thought.
1108
01:28:57,691 --> 01:29:03,027
I thought maybe you got yourself drunk...
1109
01:29:05,465 --> 01:29:08,730
and you fell off the pier
after you lost the case.
1110
01:29:11,571 --> 01:29:12,731
Huh?
1111
01:29:12,839 --> 01:29:14,636
How's that sound?
1112
01:29:16,109 --> 01:29:17,235
No? Okay.
1113
01:29:18,511 --> 01:29:19,978
Better yet.
1114
01:29:21,681 --> 01:29:24,377
You finally got the nerve
to kill yourself.
1115
01:29:24,484 --> 01:29:28,750
It was suicide.
What do you think about that?
1116
01:29:30,357 --> 01:29:32,257
How do you feel?
1117
01:29:32,359 --> 01:29:36,659
Disoriented? Impaired judgment?
1118
01:29:39,499 --> 01:29:42,024
Maybe you don't feel like you
can protect yourself!
1119
01:30:09,629 --> 01:30:12,257
That's pretty good for
what you got in your system.
1120
01:30:41,561 --> 01:30:43,529
I don't think so.
1121
01:31:02,549 --> 01:31:04,244
What are you gonna do with that?
1122
01:31:17,397 --> 01:31:20,798
Macl Macl Are you okay?
1123
01:31:25,438 --> 01:31:27,736
Let me take that.
1124
01:31:27,841 --> 01:31:31,470
They were driving a black sedan.
It's parked out in the back there.
1125
01:31:31,578 --> 01:31:35,070
Hey. Here you go. Drink that.
1126
01:31:35,181 --> 01:31:37,012
You okay?
1127
01:31:45,625 --> 01:31:48,116
How you feeling?
1128
01:31:48,228 --> 01:31:51,561
I found the purple car. It was a Cadillac.
1129
01:31:56,936 --> 01:32:00,372
So tell me, Alex, how much
of all this do you want to know?
1130
01:32:00,473 --> 01:32:02,236
All of it.
1131
01:32:03,777 --> 01:32:06,007
Well, first the hit men
slipped something...
1132
01:32:06,112 --> 01:32:10,139
into Angela and Peter's drinks
at the restaurant.
1133
01:32:11,618 --> 01:32:18,182
Then they took them to the ravine
where they killed Angela...
1134
01:32:18,291 --> 01:32:22,591
pushed her car off the cliff then planted
her keys in Thomason's pocket.
1135
01:32:24,097 --> 01:32:27,533
After the trial,
you were going to be next.
1136
01:32:27,634 --> 01:32:31,126
They found an open-ended ticket
to Venezuela in the doctor's car.
1137
01:32:32,205 --> 01:32:35,174
So it was all about the money.
1138
01:32:36,910 --> 01:32:40,846
He'd been siphoning off
millions for years.
1139
01:32:40,947 --> 01:32:43,279
If McClain hadn't kept digging...
1140
01:32:43,383 --> 01:32:45,408
who knows what would have happened.
1141
01:32:45,518 --> 01:32:48,316
What about Thomason?
1142
01:32:48,421 --> 01:32:52,289
Judge signed a motion
this morning to dismiss the charges.
1143
01:32:53,927 --> 01:32:55,827
Thomason owes McClain a lot.
1144
01:33:00,233 --> 01:33:02,133
I think we all do.
1145
01:33:14,180 --> 01:33:16,080
Congratulations.
1146
01:33:21,521 --> 01:33:24,115
How's it feel? Come on.
I'll give you a ride home.
1147
01:33:48,681 --> 01:33:50,376
My life changed...
1148
01:33:50,483 --> 01:33:55,887
the moment that I stopped asking God
why my family was gone...
1149
01:34:00,293 --> 01:34:02,693
and started thanking him
that I was still here.
1150
01:40:40,426 --> 01:40:41,393
