Previously on Reasonable Doubt...

- Given the evidence
we have landed on a suspect,

Brayden James Miller.

DETECTIVE CHARLES:
No matter how much you hide

behind your fancy lawyers,

I know you did this.

- Once she signed that NDA,
Brayden had no motive.

So like I said, he's innocent.

You'll see.

- I've been Black long enough to know
you can't trust an unjust system.

Imma do me.

If we could be friends.

- I'd like that.
AUTUMN: You okay?

Did something happen
with the guy from work? Bitch?

Well, he's fine now.

No, you can't do that.

Look, I'll be right there.

- No. Daniel, when you get home.

Don't worry?

The last thing you should do is step down.

- We had six potential buyers.

When Kaleesha left,

the buyers wanted to wait to see

and now that she's--

It's best that I step down,

Theo is more than capable
of handling the business.

- Theo, was this your idea?

- We just want Brayden
to be able to focus on the case.

JAX:
The case is my job.

Brayden's job
is to show people he's innocent.

And stepping down
would seem like you're guilty.

- The children would like
to say good night before bed.

- Okay, before that,
I need a moment with you two.

Just the three of us.

Okay, look, my strategy requires
that you two maintain a united front.

Sarah, go to work,

take the kids to school,

I know it won't be easy,
but it's necessary.

SARAH:

How do you suppose I proceed
with business as usual

when all eyes are on my husband

being accused of
brutally murdering a woman?

- "Accused" is the operative word.

- I know that.
It's the rest of the world that does not.

[chuckles softly]

- So I guess you're still sleeping
in the guest house?

Are you talking?

- Only for the sake of the kids.

- Look, Brayden, I know this is hard,
but you need her.

Hmm.

Also, Mike Ortiz is using
the Brayden Miller case

to promote his mayoral ambitions.

He's trying to get a win
by any means necessary,

which is good for us.

- Meaning he's undoubtedly
gonna make some mistakes.

JAX:
Exactly.

- Speaking of mistakes, Terry,

it seems that Mr. Miller was advised
not to step down from his company.

- And who advised him not to do that?

- We do business
with some of Clout's board.

They'll be disappointed to know

that Mr. Miller isn't considering
the company's well-being

based on our recommendations.

- Terry, I am more than happy
to turn this case over

to anyone at this firm

who has more criminal defense experience
than I do.

Hmm?

Until then, this is my case.

And I can't do my job
if I have to spend time

explaining every single move that I make.

Swaying public opinion
and selecting the right people

are the two things
we need to be focusing on right now.

NEWSCASTER: [on TV]
And here's what Kaleesha's cousin

had to say on her Instagram Live

- When Kaleesha Moore decided

to tell her story
about Clout and Brady Miller,

she ended up dead.

Brayden Miller might be
a great businessman,

but best believe he is also a murderer.

And I'm not gonna rest
until justice is served.

Y'all keep using that hashtag, okay?

Justice for Kaleesha.

Justice for Kaleesha!

- Daddy, why were those people saying
that you hurt somebody?

- Of course not.

Daddy's a successful businessman,

and when you become successful,

people try to spread lies about you,

but you don't listen
to any of that, okay, son?

- Okay, Daddy.

- The prosecution's story.

Brayden is a controlling ex-lover

who forced Kaleesha to leave the company
after their breakup.

Then she was planning
to reveal proprietary information

that could disrupt
the sale of the company.

Mike will say that Brayden bullied her
into signing the new NDA.

Then in a fit of rage,
he brutally murdered her.

Our job in trial,

make sure the DA's story falls apart.

Discovery--

- Uh, we started sifting through it.
JAX: Good.

Our other job is to make sure
that we find 12 people

who can give Brayden
a chance at a fair trial.

- In our initial research
about Brayden Miller

what we found is that he is most likable

with conservative men of all races.

- How Ben Carson of him.

- He was also heavily favored
by white women.

JAX:
Uh, don't do it, Krystal.

- What? Like you know me or something.

- Older Black women
were a bit more hesitant

based on what some felt
was a lack of connection to his community.

- Makes sense.
Brayden didn't get his Black card

until he started promoting Clout
amongst the hip-hop crowd.

- Are you saying
Brayden was a sellout before then?

- Not a sellout, but not exactly... down.

JAX:
Say what you want about Brayden,

the fact of the matter is
that he is Black.

So we need to remind
these potential jurors

that it's melanin over money all day.

[applause]

- Uh, thank you, JT, for having me.

I'm not really one
to speak on political or social issues.

Most of my life
I've been a businessman making money

and having fun doing it.

There are things that we can control

and things that we can't.

One of them is being involved.

While my mother was at work,

we used to go to the YMCA
or the youth program at church.

The community helped raise us until--

I never told anyone this, but, uh,

when I was 17,

a kid pulled a gun on me
around the corner from my house.

And it's funny
because my friends used to say,

"Man, why ain't you strapped?"

But I was never comfortable around guns

for... many reasons.

So this kid has a gun on me,
and I'm thinking,

"Man, my friends were right.
I should have been strapped."

But then I realized,

then what?

I shoot him or he shoots me.

Either way, one of us ends up
either dead or in jail.

And sadly, that's the reality
that a lot of us Black men face.

We often feel like
it's the only choice that we have.

But I'm here to say
that we have another choice...

[crowd affirms]

...and that is to fight
to get these guns off our streets!

[cheering]

- Well said.

- Now I know
you're probably wondering what happened

after that kid pulled a gun on me.

Well, he took my shoes
and my wallet and he ran off.

Two weeks later,

he was dead.

And if I had been strapped,

I'd be dead too.

This is about more than charity for me.

It's about saving lives,

protecting families

and having another option...

His ass would hold out until the end,
probably cause a mistrial.

- That was well argued.

Except for the cursing.

Ooh.
- [clears throat] Okay. Of course. Um--

Okay. Well, we should probably go.

You know, Rich is probably
running his mouth.

RICH:
Is this a joke? Who is this?

- Um, that's my daddy,
and I know you are not calling him a joke.

- Oh. How am I
supposed to know that he's--

- Okay, before this turns
into a WorldStar video,

let me explain.

Krystal's father doesn't see
Brayden Miller as a threat.

In fact, he sees him as an inspiration.

And that makes this our ideal juror.

- So the strategy is to load the jury
with Black men and women,

just as they did in the OJ trial?

- It's not considered loaded
when it's an all-white jury.

It was a jury of his peers.

But let's be clear, a jury
of Brayden's peers is not all Black.

After Occupy Wall Street,
we have to consider other prejudices.

Any questions?

Perfect.

- Jurors, please speak loudly and clearly

for our amazing court reporter.

Also verbalize everything.

That means resisting a head nod or a shake
when you mean yes or no.

Mr. Ortiz, we'll begin with you
when you're ready.

- My freedom and my life
will be put in the hands of strangers.

- And that's why
it's important you weigh in.

You've invested in tens of startups.

How did you know which ones were worth it?

- I didn't know.
It depended on the market, the founder.

I study lots of variables before deciding.

- Sure. But ultimately,
you trusted your gut.

Do that now.

If your instincts tell you
yes or no about someone,

even if you can't explain it, tell me.

- [clears throat] The people are ready.

- Juror number eight,
you told the prosecutor

that you don't trust the police.

Why?

- Cops pulled me over for expired tags,

put my face in the dirt
in front of my eight-year-old daughter.

My tags weren't even expired.

Even if they were, they shouldn't
have treated me like an animal.

Cops are just bullied kids with badges.

- I would ask the court
to thank and excuse juror number eight.

JUDGE GREEN: Juror number eight,
thank you for your service.

Please report to the jury room.

- I liked him.
- Which is why Mike dismissed him.

- But everyone in this room
has heard his story.

So even if he's not staying,
it benefits us

if the other jurors hear about
poor treatment by the police.

- Last year, my son was lost.
It was terrifying.

We thought the worst.

And then an officer
knocked on my door with my son.

- God, as a mother, I can't even imagine.

I mean, you must see
the LAPD as heroes now.

- I was very grateful.

But I also don't believe
that all officers are the same.

Some of them... aren't good.

- Thank you.

- Seventeen wouldn't look me in the eye.

I can't tell if it's because
she feels sorry for me or hates me.

- Well, we only have
one peremptory challenge left,

and we've already excused
a fair amount of white women.

So give me a reason 17 should go
before Mike makes a Batson challenge.

- Why? She said, "They're not all good."

She may be a white woman
in an infinity scarf,

but it seems she can be impartial.

- I interrupt this broadcast
to show you some bullshit.

Looks like her husband
was at the Olive Garden in DC

on January 6th.

- You like her now, Rich?

- Yeah, but that's her husband's account.

Why does it matter
how he feels about the cops?

I mean, I don't feel that way.

I like the cops and I like Black people.

- Congratulations, Rich,
but this isn't about you.

I'm saying that any woman
who's with a man rocking that sticker

believes in law and order, trust me.

Those people are black and white
when it comes to justice,

and we need jurors that can see the gray.

to thank and excuse juror number 17.

Jax, you trying to get rid

is dismissing based solely on race?

JAX:
Your Honor, absolutely not.
