1
00:00:01,535 --> 00:00:04,470
(indistinct chatter)
2
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:09,710
ANNA: Excuse me.
3
00:00:09,743 --> 00:00:11,377
I'm sorry to bother you.
4
00:00:11,411 --> 00:00:13,313
Are you a lawyer?
5
00:00:13,346 --> 00:00:14,247
I am.
6
00:00:14,615 --> 00:00:16,449
My name is Anna Vjorka,
7
00:00:16,482 --> 00:00:18,084
and I need a lawyer.
8
00:00:19,152 --> 00:00:20,353
I see.
9
00:00:20,386 --> 00:00:21,287
Do you have any money?
10
00:00:21,788 --> 00:00:25,125
Um, some, $12.
11
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:26,292
I see.
12
00:00:26,727 --> 00:00:28,995
You know $12
barely covers the time
13
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,865
it would take me to say,
"I can't help you."
14
00:00:31,898 --> 00:00:35,168
And since I've already said it,
give me the 12 bucks.
15
00:00:35,201 --> 00:00:36,336
I'm from Romania.
16
00:00:36,369 --> 00:00:37,838
That's a nice country.
17
00:00:37,871 --> 00:00:39,072
Beautiful castles.
18
00:00:39,105 --> 00:00:41,174
ANNA: I don't want
to go back.
19
00:00:41,207 --> 00:00:42,676
Can you please help me?
20
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:43,777
Anna.
21
00:00:44,377 --> 00:00:45,145
What are you doing?
22
00:00:46,179 --> 00:00:47,781
I'm not going back, dad.
23
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,682
What do you mean you're not--
24
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:49,783
I'm not going.
25
00:00:51,017 --> 00:00:52,485
Can you please help me?
26
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:53,219
Anna.
27
00:00:53,854 --> 00:00:55,321
What's going on here?
28
00:00:55,355 --> 00:00:56,690
ANNA: If I go back
to Romania,
29
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:58,725
they'll force me
to get married.
30
00:00:58,759 --> 00:00:59,626
Anna, let's go.
31
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:01,161
One second, sir.
32
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,804
What do you mean they're
gonna force you to get married?
33
00:01:03,837 --> 00:01:06,239
They will, like they did
with my sister.
34
00:01:06,272 --> 00:01:08,374
This is a family matter.
Let go of me.
35
00:01:08,407 --> 00:01:11,177
Mr. Vjorka, your daughter
is represented by counsel.
36
00:01:12,445 --> 00:01:13,847
Sir...
37
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,049
I'm sure you don't mean
to make trouble.
38
00:01:16,082 --> 00:01:17,918
Oh, but I do.
You're a foreigner.
39
00:01:17,951 --> 00:01:19,485
Take your hand off the girl
40
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,354
or I'll get you declared
a person of interest,
41
00:01:21,387 --> 00:01:22,823
which means you'll be
locked up forever
42
00:01:22,856 --> 00:01:25,058
without so much as a trial.
Don't think I kid you.
43
00:01:25,091 --> 00:01:27,060
This is the
United States of America.
44
00:01:27,093 --> 00:01:28,929
I'm about to call
for the police.
45
00:01:29,963 --> 00:01:31,665
Excuse me.
I hate to interrupt,
46
00:01:31,698 --> 00:01:33,066
but this one's urgent,
Your Honor.
47
00:01:33,099 --> 00:01:35,736
Alan Shore representing,
uh--is it Anya?
48
00:01:35,769 --> 00:01:37,037
Anna Vjorka.
49
00:01:37,070 --> 00:01:38,271
Anna Vjorka.
50
00:01:38,304 --> 00:01:40,140
Petition
for political asylum.
51
00:01:40,173 --> 00:01:41,875
Res Ipsa Doozy.
52
00:01:44,244 --> 00:01:49,182
(music playing)
53
00:02:23,389 --> 00:02:24,257
Where's the girl now?
54
00:02:24,290 --> 00:02:25,626
The custody of the INS.
55
00:02:25,659 --> 00:02:27,293
We have a hearing
scheduled for 2:00.
56
00:02:27,327 --> 00:02:28,361
Why were you even there?
57
00:02:28,394 --> 00:02:30,363
I was filing an appeal
on a household matter
58
00:02:30,396 --> 00:02:32,633
and stumbled across
the girl and her father.
59
00:02:32,666 --> 00:02:34,234
Jamie, could you do some
60
00:02:34,267 --> 00:02:35,969
political asylum
research for me?
61
00:02:36,002 --> 00:02:37,403
I need it quickly.
62
00:02:37,437 --> 00:02:40,340
And also dig up whatever
you can on the Roma faith.
63
00:02:40,373 --> 00:02:41,274
Roma?
64
00:02:41,307 --> 00:02:42,909
R-O-M-A, yes.
65
00:02:44,177 --> 00:02:46,713
Jimmy, looking well.
66
00:02:46,747 --> 00:02:47,814
Meaning what?
67
00:02:49,983 --> 00:02:51,384
He's always meaning something
68
00:02:51,417 --> 00:02:53,286
with his little comments.
69
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:54,888
Enough with the comments.
70
00:02:56,623 --> 00:02:57,457
Oh, you have a walk-in.
71
00:02:57,490 --> 00:02:58,391
Lawrence Gilbert.
72
00:02:58,424 --> 00:02:59,526
He's in your office.
73
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,067
He seems in need.
74
00:03:03,904 --> 00:03:06,272
Nine months ago,
my wife was murdered.
75
00:03:09,375 --> 00:03:10,376
I'm sorry.
76
00:03:10,410 --> 00:03:12,779
She had been stalked,
77
00:03:12,813 --> 00:03:16,550
and the police
were unable to deter him,
78
00:03:17,951 --> 00:03:20,887
and eventually...
79
00:03:20,921 --> 00:03:22,556
she was stabbed in our home.
80
00:03:23,389 --> 00:03:26,392
I've just come from
the district attorney's office.
81
00:03:26,426 --> 00:03:28,428
The trial
is set to begin tomorrow.
82
00:03:28,461 --> 00:03:30,831
And I've just been informed
83
00:03:30,864 --> 00:03:32,999
by the district attorney that
84
00:03:33,033 --> 00:03:35,301
she intends to offer 15 years.
85
00:03:36,002 --> 00:03:38,639
I'm here (sighs)
wondering whether,
86
00:03:38,672 --> 00:03:39,973
as the husband of the victim,
87
00:03:40,006 --> 00:03:42,042
I have any rights
to enjoin this.
88
00:03:42,075 --> 00:03:45,712
Actually, you don't.
89
00:03:45,746 --> 00:03:47,213
Clearly,
if you were to pursue
90
00:03:47,247 --> 00:03:48,815
the defendant civilly,
you'd have rights,
91
00:03:48,849 --> 00:03:51,384
but in a criminal
proceeding--
92
00:03:51,417 --> 00:03:54,988
What about--could we get it
removed to a federal court?
93
00:03:55,021 --> 00:03:57,791
I know the federal government
sometimes claims
94
00:03:57,824 --> 00:03:58,992
jurisdiction for murder cases
95
00:03:59,025 --> 00:04:00,667
so they can impose
the death penalty,
96
00:04:00,701 --> 00:04:03,737
which (sighs)
this man deserves.
97
00:04:04,337 --> 00:04:06,507
Again, you would have
no standing
98
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:08,942
to try to influence
a criminal prosecution.
99
00:04:08,975 --> 00:04:11,678
Do you think you could speak
to this district attorney?
100
00:04:13,914 --> 00:04:14,981
This is what he did to her.
101
00:04:16,482 --> 00:04:18,819
You can't do that to somebody
102
00:04:18,852 --> 00:04:20,754
and only get 15 years.
103
00:04:24,357 --> 00:04:25,926
Could you talk to this DA?
104
00:04:33,233 --> 00:04:34,167
Sure.
105
00:04:35,068 --> 00:04:37,003
(sighs)
106
00:04:37,036 --> 00:04:38,071
Thank you.
107
00:04:40,807 --> 00:04:43,744
(music playing)
108
00:05:04,605 --> 00:05:08,742
So, let's talk
about your sister.
109
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:09,943
How old is she?
110
00:05:09,976 --> 00:05:12,145
She was 13
when she got married.
111
00:05:12,178 --> 00:05:13,413
Now she's 16.
112
00:05:14,615 --> 00:05:18,785
Uh, after
she was married, um...
113
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:22,455
did she and her
new husband, uh...
114
00:05:22,488 --> 00:05:24,558
Yes.
115
00:05:24,591 --> 00:05:27,193
My father waved the sheets
with blood on them.
116
00:05:28,829 --> 00:05:30,764
That's tradition.
117
00:05:30,797 --> 00:05:33,199
To show that the marriage
was consummated.
118
00:05:34,935 --> 00:05:38,204
Consummated is a big word
for a 12-year-old to use.
119
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:40,073
There are some words
I looked up.
120
00:05:40,106 --> 00:05:41,542
That's one of them.
121
00:05:42,643 --> 00:05:45,111
Why is your English so good?
You have no accent.
122
00:05:45,145 --> 00:05:47,180
We lived with relatives
123
00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:49,883
in the United States
for six years.
124
00:05:49,916 --> 00:05:52,786
My mother was a visiting
professor at Amherst.
125
00:05:53,386 --> 00:05:55,889
And then we moved back
two years ago.
126
00:05:55,922 --> 00:05:59,459
And we've been on vacation here
for the last two weeks.
127
00:06:00,934 --> 00:06:04,204
Where does your mother
stand in all this?
128
00:06:04,605 --> 00:06:06,106
With my father.
129
00:06:10,844 --> 00:06:12,679
You think I wanna give
him murder two?
130
00:06:12,713 --> 00:06:13,780
Look at my office.
131
00:06:13,814 --> 00:06:15,582
I'm obsessed
with getting this guy.
132
00:06:15,616 --> 00:06:19,452
I'm just facing
the possibility that I won't.
133
00:06:19,485 --> 00:06:20,721
Walk with me.
134
00:06:20,754 --> 00:06:22,122
Why wouldn't you get him?
135
00:06:22,155 --> 00:06:23,957
It's all circumstantial.
136
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:27,794
No witnesses or forensics
putting him in that house.
137
00:06:27,828 --> 00:06:29,596
Worst-case scenario
is he walks.
138
00:06:29,630 --> 00:06:31,231
I don't think Mr. Gilbert
wants that to happen.
139
00:06:31,264 --> 00:06:32,533
Well, this guy
got any priors?
140
00:06:32,566 --> 00:06:34,635
A ton,
but if he doesn't testify,
141
00:06:34,668 --> 00:06:36,002
they don't come in, Eugene.
142
00:06:36,036 --> 00:06:38,104
Look, I am not saying
143
00:06:38,138 --> 00:06:38,972
that we're not gonna get him.
144
00:06:39,005 --> 00:06:40,206
I'm just saying it's a risk.
145
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,742
I've explained
this to your client.
146
00:06:41,775 --> 00:06:43,977
He's just too emotional
to hear it.
147
00:06:44,010 --> 00:06:45,311
And by the way,
148
00:06:45,345 --> 00:06:47,514
the defendant
turned down the 15.
149
00:06:48,114 --> 00:06:49,550
What does that tell you?
150
00:06:54,755 --> 00:06:56,723
I notified the attorney
general's office.
151
00:06:56,757 --> 00:06:58,124
They don't oppose.
152
00:06:58,158 --> 00:06:59,425
Well, I do.
153
00:06:59,459 --> 00:07:01,735
Your Honor,
all I'm asking is that the girl
154
00:07:01,768 --> 00:07:03,904
be questioned in chambers
instead of a big,
155
00:07:03,937 --> 00:07:05,471
intimidating theater.
Come on.
156
00:07:05,872 --> 00:07:07,340
The courtroom
is where we conduct
157
00:07:07,373 --> 00:07:10,243
all our legal business,
openly, notoriously,
158
00:07:10,276 --> 00:07:11,912
in keeping
with the constitution
159
00:07:11,945 --> 00:07:14,347
and the intent
of our founding fathers.
160
00:07:14,380 --> 00:07:16,717
I do all my business openly
161
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,552
and notoriously, Counsel.
162
00:07:18,585 --> 00:07:19,986
All of it.
163
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,888
How about sex, Your Honor?
164
00:07:23,489 --> 00:07:25,158
You've brought
before me a motion
165
00:07:25,191 --> 00:07:27,628
for political asylum, Counsel.
166
00:07:27,661 --> 00:07:30,531
That is a very serious piece
of legal business.
167
00:07:30,564 --> 00:07:32,566
It will be tried
and adjudicated
168
00:07:32,599 --> 00:07:34,568
in the courtroom.
169
00:07:37,838 --> 00:07:39,172
Uh, it's not that
she won't get him.
170
00:07:39,205 --> 00:07:40,674
She very well may.
171
00:07:40,707 --> 00:07:42,142
On murder one?
172
00:07:42,175 --> 00:07:43,777
Uh, well,
that could be tough.
173
00:07:43,810 --> 00:07:46,112
More likely murder two or--
174
00:07:46,146 --> 00:07:47,814
Thirty-one times
he stabbed her.
175
00:07:47,848 --> 00:07:50,050
What could be more
heinous than that?
176
00:07:50,083 --> 00:07:52,252
YOUNG: With that many wounds...
177
00:07:53,554 --> 00:07:56,422
clearly he kept stabbing her
after she was dead.
178
00:07:56,456 --> 00:07:59,926
Now, that suggests
a rage or mental state
179
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:01,602
that goes more
to murder two--
180
00:08:01,635 --> 00:08:02,435
So he could get parole?
181
00:08:03,970 --> 00:08:05,906
This man deserves
to get a bullet
182
00:08:05,939 --> 00:08:07,340
right between his eyes.
183
00:08:07,373 --> 00:08:09,109
Look, she's trying
for murder one.
184
00:08:09,142 --> 00:08:11,377
She is a good DA.
185
00:08:11,845 --> 00:08:13,747
You mentioned going
after him civilly.
186
00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:14,948
I'd like to do that.
187
00:08:14,981 --> 00:08:17,017
Mr. Gilbert--
GILBERT: I'd like to do that.
188
00:08:17,050 --> 00:08:19,485
He comes from money.
I know he has a house.
189
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,154
Mr. Gilbert...
190
00:08:21,187 --> 00:08:24,525
people sometimes
get consumed by hatred.
191
00:08:26,126 --> 00:08:28,494
Don't let this man
make you more of a victim
192
00:08:28,529 --> 00:08:30,363
than you already are.
193
00:08:31,364 --> 00:08:33,867
I think it would empower me
to sue him civilly.
194
00:08:35,035 --> 00:08:36,269
Would you represent me?
195
00:08:38,371 --> 00:08:40,774
Let me monitor the criminal
trial for a day or two,
196
00:08:40,807 --> 00:08:41,875
and I'll let you know.
197
00:08:43,744 --> 00:08:46,813
Assuming you are going
to sue this man civilly,
198
00:08:46,847 --> 00:08:48,815
let me give you some advice.
199
00:08:48,849 --> 00:08:51,017
It's illegal to use
a criminal case
200
00:08:51,051 --> 00:08:53,554
for the purpose
of advancing a civil one.
201
00:08:53,587 --> 00:08:55,889
Now, I know
you're not doing that, but...
202
00:08:58,124 --> 00:08:59,626
Ms. Alexander
tells me you've been
203
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:01,802
to the US Attorney's Office,
204
00:09:01,835 --> 00:09:02,969
pressuring them.
205
00:09:06,006 --> 00:09:09,175
In federal courts,
they have the death penalty.
206
00:09:09,209 --> 00:09:12,412
That's what he deserves, death.
207
00:09:14,114 --> 00:09:17,518
Well, if you hope to have
a civil claim at all,
208
00:09:17,551 --> 00:09:20,120
you need to lay off
the prosecutors.
209
00:09:28,762 --> 00:09:31,264
A Chinese girl was granted
asylum three years ago.
210
00:09:31,297 --> 00:09:32,833
Forced marriage?
That's the good news,
211
00:09:32,866 --> 00:09:34,067
but it's not precedent.
212
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:36,737
And Ashcroft has since
recalled for further review
213
00:09:36,770 --> 00:09:40,206
all cases involving gender
as a basis for asylum,
214
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,242
including forced marriages.
215
00:09:42,275 --> 00:09:43,343
Great.
216
00:09:45,546 --> 00:09:47,147
Jimmy.
217
00:09:47,180 --> 00:09:49,149
Continuing to look well.
218
00:09:49,182 --> 00:09:50,617
As are you, Alan.
219
00:09:50,651 --> 00:09:53,319
I'm afraid
it's against the law
220
00:09:53,353 --> 00:09:56,590
for you specifically
to stand there.
221
00:09:57,858 --> 00:09:59,626
Fire code. No egress.
222
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,402
Another fat comment, Al?
223
00:10:03,504 --> 00:10:05,071
All right, Jimmy,
I must warn you
224
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,908
in addition
to my knowing jiu-jitsu,
225
00:10:07,941 --> 00:10:10,644
I'm also a direct descendant
of Jonny Quest.
226
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:14,414
See how the lips move
227
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:16,216
while very few words come out?
228
00:10:16,249 --> 00:10:18,051
Keep it up, Shore.
229
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:19,052
Keep it up.
230
00:10:19,085 --> 00:10:19,886
Hey.
231
00:10:22,556 --> 00:10:25,058
The next-door neighbor
had noticed a car
232
00:10:25,091 --> 00:10:27,561
parked several nights
on their street
233
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,596
with a man sitting inside,
234
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:31,898
looking at a laptop computer.
235
00:10:31,932 --> 00:10:33,399
ALEXANDER: Did she get
a look at the driver?
236
00:10:33,433 --> 00:10:34,267
DETECTIVE: No.
237
00:10:34,300 --> 00:10:36,002
But she took down
the plate number,
238
00:10:36,036 --> 00:10:37,838
then called us
after the murder.
239
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:40,874
The car was registered
to Jake Spooner, the defendant.
240
00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:43,510
We secured a search warrant
for Mr. Spooner's home
241
00:10:43,544 --> 00:10:44,878
in Cambridge and executed it.
242
00:10:44,911 --> 00:10:46,647
And what did you find,
Detective?
243
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,114
DETECTIVE:
On the defendant's computer,
244
00:10:48,148 --> 00:10:49,816
we found hours
of video footage
245
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:51,417
of the Gilberts' nursery.
246
00:10:51,451 --> 00:10:53,253
Did you determine
the source?
247
00:10:53,286 --> 00:10:54,154
DETECTIVE: Yes.
248
00:10:54,187 --> 00:10:56,356
The Gilberts
had a camera in the room.
249
00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:58,258
They used it
as a baby monitor.
250
00:10:58,291 --> 00:10:59,960
It was over
their daughter's crib.
251
00:10:59,993 --> 00:11:02,002
Okay. But how did
these images end up
252
00:11:02,035 --> 00:11:03,570
on the defendant's computer?
253
00:11:03,604 --> 00:11:05,205
He's the one who
installed the cameras,
254
00:11:05,238 --> 00:11:06,573
as well
as the other electronics
255
00:11:06,607 --> 00:11:07,974
in the victim's house.
256
00:11:08,008 --> 00:11:11,344
And he also set up a system
to intercept their videos.
257
00:11:11,812 --> 00:11:13,246
ALEXANDER: And, Detective,
can you tell us
258
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,650
what these videos on
the defendant's computer showed?
259
00:11:16,683 --> 00:11:20,020
On one file, it was mostly
the baby sleeping.
260
00:11:20,053 --> 00:11:21,955
Sometimes Tracy Gilbert
came in the room
261
00:11:21,988 --> 00:11:23,356
and played with her baby,
262
00:11:23,389 --> 00:11:25,659
and twice she breastfed
her child.
263
00:11:25,692 --> 00:11:27,093
Mr. Gilbert was on it too,
264
00:11:27,127 --> 00:11:28,995
feeding her a bottle.
265
00:11:29,029 --> 00:11:30,263
But there was another file
266
00:11:30,296 --> 00:11:31,932
where he had edited
together scenes
267
00:11:31,965 --> 00:11:34,000
and digitally
manipulated them,
268
00:11:34,034 --> 00:11:36,637
giving them some special
effects that he added.
269
00:11:36,670 --> 00:11:38,138
Hmm.
270
00:11:39,906 --> 00:11:42,843
(music playing)
271
00:12:15,782 --> 00:12:18,251
So, basically,
he made a movie.
272
00:12:18,284 --> 00:12:20,654
A graphic, disturbing movie.
273
00:12:20,687 --> 00:12:22,355
Detective, Tracy Gilbert
274
00:12:22,388 --> 00:12:24,224
had been stabbed 30 times?
275
00:12:24,257 --> 00:12:25,726
Over 30.
276
00:12:25,759 --> 00:12:27,460
Would it be fair to say
whoever killed her
277
00:12:27,493 --> 00:12:29,830
would likely be soaked
in her blood?
278
00:12:29,863 --> 00:12:30,831
Yes.
279
00:12:30,864 --> 00:12:32,866
And yet you found none
of Mrs. Gilbert's blood
280
00:12:32,899 --> 00:12:35,035
on any of my client's
clothes, did you?
281
00:12:35,068 --> 00:12:35,836
DETECTIVE: No.
282
00:12:35,869 --> 00:12:37,504
WILLOW: What about his house?
283
00:12:37,538 --> 00:12:39,640
DETECTIVE: Not blood,
but his prints
284
00:12:39,673 --> 00:12:41,608
were all over
the victim's house.
285
00:12:41,642 --> 00:12:43,677
But he'd been in the house
fixing some equipment
286
00:12:43,710 --> 00:12:45,679
a week before, right?
287
00:12:45,712 --> 00:12:46,780
That's correct.
288
00:12:46,813 --> 00:12:47,781
Thank you.
289
00:12:47,814 --> 00:12:49,449
No further questions,
Detective.
290
00:12:51,652 --> 00:12:52,753
Ms. Alexander?
291
00:12:52,786 --> 00:12:54,287
Nothing, Your Honor.
292
00:12:54,821 --> 00:12:56,189
KIRKLAND:
We'll recess and resume
293
00:12:56,222 --> 00:12:58,058
with our next witness
after lunch.
294
00:12:58,091 --> 00:12:58,992
(gavel bangs)
295
00:13:22,422 --> 00:13:25,091
I don't even like him.
Like who, Anna?
296
00:13:25,125 --> 00:13:27,293
The boy that
I'm supposed to marry.
297
00:13:27,327 --> 00:13:28,829
I don't think he's nice.
298
00:13:28,862 --> 00:13:30,797
I don't think he's cute.
299
00:13:30,831 --> 00:13:32,933
I don't think he's anything.
300
00:13:33,433 --> 00:13:36,336
Now, Anna, uh, in Romania,
301
00:13:36,369 --> 00:13:39,172
the legal age for marriage
is 18, am I right?
302
00:13:39,205 --> 00:13:40,807
Yes. But we are Roma.
303
00:13:41,608 --> 00:13:43,777
That's our religious faith.
304
00:13:43,810 --> 00:13:46,747
Tradition is that they
arrange child weddings
305
00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:47,981
all the time.
306
00:13:49,482 --> 00:13:51,718
My sister
got married at 13,
307
00:13:53,554 --> 00:13:55,321
and she had to have sex.
308
00:13:56,890 --> 00:13:58,859
I don't want to have sex.
309
00:13:59,893 --> 00:14:02,503
BENNETT: You say these arranged
marriages happen a lot?
310
00:14:02,536 --> 00:14:03,637
Yes.
311
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:06,006
Some of your friends
get married in this way?
312
00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:07,407
Yes.
313
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,575
BENNETT:
Are they okay with it?
314
00:14:08,609 --> 00:14:10,544
Maybe they are, but I'm not.
315
00:14:11,177 --> 00:14:12,713
Are you afraid of this boy?
316
00:14:12,746 --> 00:14:15,649
No. I just don't wanna
marry him,
317
00:14:15,682 --> 00:14:17,117
or anybody else.
318
00:14:17,150 --> 00:14:19,553
Now, let's talk
about your mom and dad.
319
00:14:19,953 --> 00:14:21,021
Do you love them?
320
00:14:21,421 --> 00:14:22,523
I do.
321
00:14:22,556 --> 00:14:24,324
But that doesn't mean
that I have to follow
322
00:14:24,357 --> 00:14:26,359
all their ancient rules,
323
00:14:26,392 --> 00:14:28,729
especially, the ones
that are barbaric.
324
00:14:28,762 --> 00:14:29,896
Barbaric.
325
00:14:29,930 --> 00:14:31,197
Did your lawyer tell you
to use that word?
326
00:14:31,231 --> 00:14:32,132
Objection.
327
00:14:32,165 --> 00:14:33,834
I told her to use
reprehensible,
328
00:14:33,867 --> 00:14:35,135
repugnant, and criminal.
329
00:14:35,168 --> 00:14:37,337
She came up with barbaric
all on her own.
330
00:14:38,505 --> 00:14:39,405
Continue.
331
00:14:39,439 --> 00:14:42,142
What do you think
of America, Anna?
332
00:14:42,175 --> 00:14:43,810
I love it.
333
00:14:43,844 --> 00:14:46,747
Tell me, excluding
this marriage business,
334
00:14:46,780 --> 00:14:49,215
if you could choose
which country
335
00:14:49,249 --> 00:14:51,184
you'd rather live in,
what would it be?
336
00:14:51,217 --> 00:14:53,219
America.
337
00:14:53,253 --> 00:14:54,721
I see.
338
00:14:55,822 --> 00:14:58,725
Is it possible
this might be more
339
00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:00,534
about your wanting
to stay here
340
00:15:00,567 --> 00:15:02,669
than it is your fearing
going back there?
341
00:15:03,737 --> 00:15:06,540
It's about me not wanting
to get married.
342
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,975
It's about me not wanting
to have to be raped
343
00:15:09,009 --> 00:15:12,713
by some 15-year-old boy
I don't even like.
344
00:15:20,053 --> 00:15:21,354
A client?
345
00:15:21,387 --> 00:15:22,623
Former client.
346
00:15:22,656 --> 00:15:24,958
Uh, I represented him
10, 12 years ago.
347
00:15:24,991 --> 00:15:26,326
I mean, his name
didn't ring a bell,
348
00:15:26,359 --> 00:15:27,427
but when I saw his face--
349
00:15:28,829 --> 00:15:30,931
When you represented him,
350
00:15:30,964 --> 00:15:32,432
what was he charged with?
351
00:15:34,601 --> 00:15:35,636
Murder.
352
00:15:37,571 --> 00:15:39,272
You got him off?
353
00:15:39,305 --> 00:15:41,474
YOUNG: Look, uh, Mr. Gilbert,
I was doing my job.
354
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:43,243
Uh, it's not like
I liked the guy.
355
00:15:45,579 --> 00:15:49,550
Listen, obviously,
I would have a conflict
356
00:15:49,583 --> 00:15:51,451
representing you
against him.
357
00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:53,019
But let me do this.
358
00:15:53,053 --> 00:15:54,755
I'll monitor the trial
a little bit more.
359
00:15:54,788 --> 00:15:57,057
I'll assess your case.
360
00:15:57,090 --> 00:15:58,792
That much I can do.
361
00:16:02,969 --> 00:16:04,605
If she's this opposed,
362
00:16:04,638 --> 00:16:06,406
I won't make her go
through with it.
363
00:16:06,439 --> 00:16:08,675
Well, according to Anna,
her sister was opposed.
364
00:16:08,709 --> 00:16:10,544
She was crying and screaming
365
00:16:10,577 --> 00:16:11,678
when they brought her
into the church.
366
00:16:11,712 --> 00:16:12,613
She had to go through
with it.
367
00:16:12,646 --> 00:16:15,448
The ceremony was halted
and continued
368
00:16:15,481 --> 00:16:16,650
only after she agreed.
369
00:16:16,683 --> 00:16:17,618
Under duress?
370
00:16:17,651 --> 00:16:21,121
Mr. Shore,
my daughter is afraid
371
00:16:21,154 --> 00:16:22,756
she'll miss her
friends here.
372
00:16:22,789 --> 00:16:24,691
That's what this is about.
373
00:16:24,725 --> 00:16:26,459
I'm sure there
are many kids coming out
374
00:16:26,492 --> 00:16:27,928
of Disneyland
seeking asylum too.
375
00:16:27,961 --> 00:16:30,330
You are forcing
your 12-year-old daughter
376
00:16:30,363 --> 00:16:31,464
to be married, sir.
377
00:16:31,497 --> 00:16:32,332
Please don't equate
that with--
378
00:16:32,365 --> 00:16:33,900
MR. VJORKA:
There are Mormon families
379
00:16:33,934 --> 00:16:35,368
who do that in this country.
380
00:16:35,401 --> 00:16:37,303
SHORE: The Mormon Church
does not sanction--
381
00:16:37,337 --> 00:16:39,506
MR. VJORKA:
But it happens. It goes on.
382
00:16:39,540 --> 00:16:42,275
And the police don't always
enforce the law against it,
383
00:16:42,308 --> 00:16:43,510
do they, Mr. Shore?
384
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:44,911
How about we strike
a deal then?
385
00:16:44,945 --> 00:16:46,112
You leave
your daughter here.
386
00:16:46,146 --> 00:16:48,181
We'll raise her in Utah.
Objection.
387
00:16:48,214 --> 00:16:51,117
Our marital success rate
far surpasses
388
00:16:51,151 --> 00:16:52,786
the divorce numbers
in this country.
389
00:16:52,819 --> 00:16:54,621
SHORE: Just goes to show you
what a little servitude
390
00:16:54,655 --> 00:16:55,455
will get you, right,
Mr. Vjorka?
391
00:16:55,488 --> 00:16:57,023
STUCKY: Mr. Shore.
392
00:17:00,567 --> 00:17:02,002
What happens now?
393
00:17:02,035 --> 00:17:05,438
Well, tomorrow morning,
we hear from your mother.
394
00:17:06,339 --> 00:17:07,674
Tell me about her.
395
00:17:07,708 --> 00:17:10,877
She's very nice, smart,
396
00:17:11,645 --> 00:17:13,013
a professor.
397
00:17:13,046 --> 00:17:15,582
If you had trouble
with my dad,
398
00:17:15,616 --> 00:17:17,984
you'll be no match for her.
399
00:17:18,785 --> 00:17:21,154
You don't think
I'm any match for you, do you?
400
00:17:25,391 --> 00:17:26,593
How are we doing?
401
00:17:27,293 --> 00:17:30,664
Political asylum
is tough, Anna.
402
00:17:30,697 --> 00:17:34,300
Though the whole world
apparently hates us right now,
403
00:17:34,334 --> 00:17:37,738
we still seem to be
the destination of choice.
404
00:17:37,771 --> 00:17:41,107
Do you think you could
take me away from here?
405
00:17:42,709 --> 00:17:45,512
Just for an hour or two.
406
00:17:45,546 --> 00:17:47,380
It's so depressing here.
407
00:17:47,413 --> 00:17:50,483
I'll tell you what,
I'll try to persuade the judge
408
00:17:50,517 --> 00:17:52,519
to let me take you out
for breakfast.
409
00:17:57,123 --> 00:17:59,225
May I ask...
410
00:17:59,259 --> 00:18:00,767
do you have children?
411
00:18:00,801 --> 00:18:02,368
I'm sure I must.
412
00:18:05,271 --> 00:18:06,840
I know you're going to win.
413
00:18:08,141 --> 00:18:09,576
Hmm.
414
00:18:09,610 --> 00:18:12,245
When I was looking around
the courtroom yesterday,
415
00:18:12,278 --> 00:18:15,849
deciding what lawyer
to run up to,
416
00:18:15,882 --> 00:18:19,019
I saw your face and I knew...
417
00:18:20,286 --> 00:18:22,656
you would be the one
to save me.
418
00:18:26,292 --> 00:18:29,162
The victim
was stabbed 31 times
419
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:32,666
over her face, neck,
torso, hands.
420
00:18:32,699 --> 00:18:34,067
The blows
were of such a force,
421
00:18:34,100 --> 00:18:36,603
her head was almost
separated from her body.
422
00:18:36,637 --> 00:18:38,939
What can you tell us
about the weapon?
423
00:18:38,972 --> 00:18:41,775
It was a knife
with a 6 1/4-inch blade,
424
00:18:41,808 --> 00:18:42,843
serrated edges.
425
00:18:42,876 --> 00:18:45,445
Do you know if the knife
was ever located?
426
00:18:45,478 --> 00:18:46,713
It was not.
427
00:18:46,747 --> 00:18:48,915
However,
we found this knife set
428
00:18:48,949 --> 00:18:50,483
in the defendant's kitchen.
429
00:18:50,517 --> 00:18:52,919
The set is always sold
with five knives
430
00:18:52,953 --> 00:18:54,588
of varying lengths.
431
00:18:54,621 --> 00:18:56,957
The defendant
had only four knives.
432
00:18:56,990 --> 00:19:01,267
The one with the serrated
6 1/4-inch blade was missing.
433
00:19:01,301 --> 00:19:03,970
Tests showed that the wounds
to Mrs. Gilbert's body
434
00:19:04,004 --> 00:19:06,206
were consistent
with the missing knife.
435
00:19:06,239 --> 00:19:09,375
And did the wounds tell you
anything about the killer?
436
00:19:09,409 --> 00:19:11,044
From the angles
of penetration,
437
00:19:11,077 --> 00:19:12,378
we determined
that the killer
438
00:19:12,412 --> 00:19:15,649
was over six feet
and left-handed.
439
00:19:15,682 --> 00:19:17,417
The knife
you're referring to,
440
00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:19,452
would it surprise you
to learn that 5,000
441
00:19:19,485 --> 00:19:20,954
identical knives were sold
442
00:19:20,987 --> 00:19:23,524
in the last three years
in the Boston area?
443
00:19:23,557 --> 00:19:25,025
No.
444
00:19:25,058 --> 00:19:26,192
And to confirm...
445
00:19:26,226 --> 00:19:28,228
you never found
the murder weapon.
446
00:19:28,962 --> 00:19:30,296
No, we did not.
447
00:19:34,835 --> 00:19:37,638
Yes, it's circumstantial,
but from where I sit,
448
00:19:37,671 --> 00:19:39,272
he's going away.
449
00:19:39,305 --> 00:19:40,574
GILBERT: Murder one?
450
00:19:40,607 --> 00:19:42,643
Well, that I don't know.
451
00:19:43,510 --> 00:19:45,311
I have here an article.
452
00:19:45,345 --> 00:19:47,914
It says where
the federal government
453
00:19:47,948 --> 00:19:49,783
can also bring
civil rights charges,
454
00:19:49,816 --> 00:19:52,052
and it doesn't amount
to double jeopardy.
455
00:19:52,085 --> 00:19:54,521
Does the death penalty
ever apply
456
00:19:54,555 --> 00:19:56,056
to these civil rights cases?
457
00:19:58,959 --> 00:20:00,233
Mr. Gilbert...
458
00:20:04,838 --> 00:20:07,440
I would never presume to know
what you're going through,
459
00:20:07,473 --> 00:20:08,975
but, um...
460
00:20:11,578 --> 00:20:13,013
are you getting counseling?
461
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:18,384
See, uh, I took
the liberty of looking
462
00:20:18,418 --> 00:20:19,586
at some of those videos,
463
00:20:19,620 --> 00:20:22,222
and there was one
in particular.
464
00:20:22,255 --> 00:20:24,958
You were sitting in a chair,
feeding your daughter.
465
00:20:24,991 --> 00:20:28,328
And what I saw was a father,
466
00:20:28,361 --> 00:20:30,496
a man full of love,
467
00:20:30,531 --> 00:20:32,098
somebody tender.
468
00:20:33,199 --> 00:20:36,503
What I see sitting across
from me now
469
00:20:36,537 --> 00:20:38,872
is a man dominated by hate.
470
00:20:39,873 --> 00:20:42,308
Now, while your rage
is certainly understandable,
471
00:20:44,077 --> 00:20:47,147
I would think that
what your wife would want
472
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:50,350
for your daughter is for you
473
00:20:50,383 --> 00:20:53,854
to try to be the man
that I saw in that video.
474
00:20:56,022 --> 00:20:57,223
I, um...
475
00:21:00,801 --> 00:21:02,869
I don't really know how to do
476
00:21:02,903 --> 00:21:04,538
anything else right now,
477
00:21:05,772 --> 00:21:07,373
besides hate him.
478
00:21:12,245 --> 00:21:14,047
Uh, and to be honest,
479
00:21:16,482 --> 00:21:18,251
I hate you a little,
as well
480
00:21:21,755 --> 00:21:24,057
for getting him off
10 years ago,
481
00:21:24,090 --> 00:21:25,592
for putting--
482
00:21:28,562 --> 00:21:30,030
I'm sorry.
483
00:21:34,434 --> 00:21:37,704
Well, my testimony
is first up.
484
00:21:37,738 --> 00:21:39,405
I suppose
I should get some rest.
485
00:21:39,439 --> 00:21:44,277
(music playing)
486
00:21:57,958 --> 00:22:00,667
Should I give you the big
defense-attorney speech?
487
00:22:04,170 --> 00:22:06,239
I gave that speech to my wife
at the time.
488
00:22:06,272 --> 00:22:07,841
I gave her the line, you know.
489
00:22:09,109 --> 00:22:10,243
Uh, "We represent the guilty,
490
00:22:10,276 --> 00:22:13,514
thus ultimately protecting
the innocent."
491
00:22:17,518 --> 00:22:18,685
This...
492
00:22:19,986 --> 00:22:22,088
was one of the innocents
I was protecting.
493
00:22:35,301 --> 00:22:37,538
GILBERT: After he had worked
for us, he kept coming around,
494
00:22:37,571 --> 00:22:40,173
presumably to check
the equipment he installed.
495
00:22:40,206 --> 00:22:42,208
ALEXANDER: Did this
strike you as strange?
496
00:22:42,242 --> 00:22:44,410
Perhaps a little.
But we weren't alarmed,
497
00:22:44,444 --> 00:22:47,914
until Tracy started
to notice him at the market,
498
00:22:47,948 --> 00:22:50,383
the gym, her art class.
499
00:22:50,416 --> 00:22:51,985
He was everywhere
she went.
500
00:22:52,018 --> 00:22:53,787
We soon realized
he was stalking her.
501
00:22:54,420 --> 00:22:55,522
Did you go to the police?
502
00:22:55,956 --> 00:22:57,357
We did.
503
00:22:57,390 --> 00:22:59,159
They said since these were
all public places,
504
00:22:59,192 --> 00:23:00,834
there was nothing
they could really do.
505
00:23:01,535 --> 00:23:03,469
And, Mr. Gilbert,
at some point,
506
00:23:03,504 --> 00:23:05,739
you confronted the defendant,
did you not?
507
00:23:05,772 --> 00:23:07,874
GILBERT: Yes. Two days
before the murder,
508
00:23:07,908 --> 00:23:11,111
I asked him to refrain
from following my wife.
509
00:23:11,144 --> 00:23:13,980
I told him he was scaring her
and my family.
510
00:23:14,014 --> 00:23:15,849
I stated I was afraid
for her safety.
511
00:23:16,349 --> 00:23:17,818
And how did he respond?
512
00:23:17,851 --> 00:23:20,186
He said if he wanted
to harm her,
513
00:23:20,220 --> 00:23:22,689
he wouldn't just
follow her around.
514
00:23:24,558 --> 00:23:27,193
WILLOW: My client had been
in your house many times.
515
00:23:27,227 --> 00:23:29,262
Yes, doing
electrical work.
516
00:23:29,763 --> 00:23:31,898
Even as recent as a week
before the murder,
517
00:23:31,932 --> 00:23:32,999
he was in your house.
518
00:23:33,567 --> 00:23:34,234
Yes.
519
00:23:35,068 --> 00:23:36,837
So you didn't regard him
as a threat.
520
00:23:37,704 --> 00:23:38,972
We were getting nervous,
521
00:23:39,005 --> 00:23:42,375
but we attributed it
to our own paranoia.
522
00:23:42,408 --> 00:23:44,310
Then about a week before,
523
00:23:44,344 --> 00:23:45,912
he entered the house
without knocking,
524
00:23:45,946 --> 00:23:48,148
and it jolted my wife.
525
00:23:48,181 --> 00:23:49,716
That's when
I went to the police.
526
00:23:49,750 --> 00:23:51,518
Two days after that,
I confronted him.
527
00:23:51,552 --> 00:23:53,720
I assume you loved your wife
very much.
528
00:23:53,754 --> 00:23:55,689
You assumed correctly.
529
00:23:56,389 --> 00:23:58,058
Love anyone else, as well?
530
00:23:59,325 --> 00:24:00,433
I beg your pardon?
531
00:24:01,467 --> 00:24:02,603
Were you having an affair
532
00:24:02,636 --> 00:24:04,337
at the time
of your wife's death?
533
00:24:09,743 --> 00:24:11,111
Did you kill your wife,
Mr. Gilbert?
534
00:24:11,144 --> 00:24:12,045
Objection!
535
00:24:12,078 --> 00:24:13,614
KIRKLAND: Ms. Willow,
you'd better have
536
00:24:13,647 --> 00:24:15,716
a good-faith basis
for that question.
537
00:24:15,749 --> 00:24:16,983
Sidebar, Your Honor.
538
00:24:23,957 --> 00:24:25,358
ALEXANDER: What's this about?
539
00:24:25,391 --> 00:24:28,729
Your Honor, last night
I received an anonymous message.
540
00:24:28,762 --> 00:24:31,431
I submit a copy
for your review.
541
00:24:31,464 --> 00:24:32,799
It may be completely bogus,
542
00:24:32,833 --> 00:24:35,569
but since it alleges that
Mr. Gilbert was having an affair
543
00:24:35,602 --> 00:24:37,971
and that he is the killer
of his wife, Tracy,
544
00:24:38,004 --> 00:24:40,140
bogus or not, it's enough
to give me good faith
545
00:24:40,173 --> 00:24:41,341
for asking the question.
546
00:24:43,744 --> 00:24:45,011
I'll allow it.
Your Honor, I really...
547
00:24:45,045 --> 00:24:47,480
But you're on a short leash.
548
00:24:48,882 --> 00:24:50,050
Now step back.
549
00:24:56,723 --> 00:24:59,225
WILLOW: Let's start
with the affair, Mr. Gilbert.
550
00:24:59,259 --> 00:25:00,667
Were you in love
with another woman
551
00:25:00,701 --> 00:25:02,536
at the time
of your wife's murder?
552
00:25:09,610 --> 00:25:11,144
I'd like to exercise
my Fifth Amendment right
553
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:11,878
not to answer.
554
00:25:12,913 --> 00:25:15,849
(indistinct chatter)
555
00:25:22,388 --> 00:25:25,058
It had nothing to do
with this case.
556
00:25:25,091 --> 00:25:26,793
YOUNG: Mr. Gilbert,
it may be irrelevant,
557
00:25:26,827 --> 00:25:29,062
but we need...
She's married.
558
00:25:29,095 --> 00:25:30,931
She has a family.
559
00:25:30,964 --> 00:25:32,866
I can't--
I can't do this to them.
560
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,936
(door opens and closes)
561
00:25:35,969 --> 00:25:37,137
What the hell is going on?
562
00:25:37,170 --> 00:25:39,205
Uh, am I free to say
what you have told me?
563
00:25:39,239 --> 00:25:42,609
No.
Let me tell you something,
564
00:25:42,643 --> 00:25:46,112
if you plead the Fifth,
you giftwrap reasonable doubt
565
00:25:46,146 --> 00:25:47,247
with a big, red bow.
566
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,448
Do you understand me?
567
00:25:51,618 --> 00:25:53,787
The fact of the matter is,
Mr. Gilbert,
568
00:25:53,820 --> 00:25:54,888
you have no alibi
569
00:25:54,921 --> 00:25:55,989
for the night
of the murder.
570
00:25:56,923 --> 00:25:59,726
Nobody can verify
they saw you working late.
571
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,702
The reason we dismissed you
as a suspect
572
00:26:01,735 --> 00:26:02,936
is we had no motive.
573
00:26:02,969 --> 00:26:03,737
Now we do.
574
00:26:03,770 --> 00:26:04,671
Hold on a second.
575
00:26:04,705 --> 00:26:05,872
I'm not trying
to threaten you.
576
00:26:05,906 --> 00:26:08,474
I'm just making you aware.
577
00:26:08,509 --> 00:26:10,143
This is what
the defense attorney
578
00:26:10,176 --> 00:26:11,712
will play like a trombone.
579
00:26:13,046 --> 00:26:14,648
Our only chance now
580
00:26:14,681 --> 00:26:16,650
is to explore this affair,
581
00:26:16,683 --> 00:26:18,552
rule you out as a suspect.
582
00:26:18,585 --> 00:26:20,353
I'm not talking
583
00:26:20,386 --> 00:26:21,588
about the affair.
584
00:26:25,692 --> 00:26:27,427
Well, then we're done,
Mr. Gilbert.
585
00:26:29,963 --> 00:26:32,966
I'll certainly
keep prosecuting,
586
00:26:32,999 --> 00:26:33,867
but we're done.
587
00:26:36,570 --> 00:26:39,239
(door opens and closes)
588
00:26:39,272 --> 00:26:42,208
(music playing)
589
00:26:49,115 --> 00:26:51,818
MRS. VJORKA:
I was married when I was 12.
590
00:26:51,852 --> 00:26:54,420
My mother was married
when she was 14.
591
00:26:54,454 --> 00:26:56,990
My grandmother was married
when she was 13.
592
00:26:57,023 --> 00:26:58,992
All arranged marriages?
593
00:26:59,025 --> 00:26:59,960
Yes.
594
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:02,503
All successful, as well,
I might add.
595
00:27:02,536 --> 00:27:04,470
BENNETT: But, Mrs. Vjorka,
596
00:27:04,505 --> 00:27:06,339
you do appreciate
that the idea
597
00:27:06,372 --> 00:27:08,241
is a little offensive
to Americans.
598
00:27:08,274 --> 00:27:09,910
I do.
599
00:27:09,943 --> 00:27:12,345
But Americans
have trouble comprehending
600
00:27:12,378 --> 00:27:14,648
non-romantic unions.
601
00:27:14,681 --> 00:27:16,950
Well, marriage
without love...
602
00:27:16,983 --> 00:27:19,152
Marriage is about family,
603
00:27:19,185 --> 00:27:21,755
partnerships for parenting.
604
00:27:21,788 --> 00:27:23,456
In our faith,
605
00:27:23,489 --> 00:27:26,893
it's also about preserving
ethnic identity.
606
00:27:26,927 --> 00:27:29,930
And, by the way,
arranged marriages
607
00:27:29,963 --> 00:27:31,932
still go on
in the United States,
608
00:27:31,965 --> 00:27:34,901
however, quietly,
for this very reason.
609
00:27:34,935 --> 00:27:35,936
BENNETT: In the United States?
610
00:27:35,969 --> 00:27:37,571
Yes.
611
00:27:37,604 --> 00:27:39,706
And I don't mean simply
in the Mormon faith.
612
00:27:40,373 --> 00:27:41,975
It happens with
Orthodox Jews,
613
00:27:42,008 --> 00:27:44,945
the Greeks, Muslims, Hindus.
614
00:27:45,579 --> 00:27:47,080
There are thousands
of such marriages
615
00:27:47,113 --> 00:27:49,349
every year in this country.
616
00:27:49,382 --> 00:27:50,884
You see nothing wrong
617
00:27:50,917 --> 00:27:52,819
with forcing Anna
to be married
618
00:27:52,853 --> 00:27:53,854
or to be raped?
619
00:27:53,887 --> 00:27:55,589
If she doesn't consent
620
00:27:55,622 --> 00:27:58,058
to consummating the marriage,
Mr. Shore,
621
00:27:58,091 --> 00:27:59,492
then sex shouldn't happen.
622
00:27:59,926 --> 00:28:01,367
SHORE:
But, Mrs. Vjorka, come on.
623
00:28:01,401 --> 00:28:03,303
If her 15-year-old husband
624
00:28:03,336 --> 00:28:06,139
overpowers her in the name
of religious consummation,
625
00:28:06,172 --> 00:28:07,741
he's not going
to be prosecuted, is he?
626
00:28:08,274 --> 00:28:09,976
MRS. VJORKA:
First of all, how dare you
627
00:28:10,010 --> 00:28:12,145
presume Roma boys
to be rapists?
628
00:28:12,579 --> 00:28:13,647
Because consummating
the marriage
629
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:14,981
is part of Roma tradition.
630
00:28:15,015 --> 00:28:17,751
Consummation is traditional
in America, as well.
631
00:28:17,784 --> 00:28:19,152
But if the bride says no,
632
00:28:19,185 --> 00:28:20,521
we don't assume rape.
633
00:28:20,554 --> 00:28:22,989
We assume capacity
to give consent.
634
00:28:23,023 --> 00:28:24,725
We can't do that
with a 12-year-old.
635
00:28:24,758 --> 00:28:26,660
You don't know
our culture.
636
00:28:26,693 --> 00:28:28,695
I know this is
an archaic practice
637
00:28:28,729 --> 00:28:32,232
that has no place
in this child's life today.
638
00:28:32,265 --> 00:28:34,000
I know persecution,
Mrs. Vjorka.
639
00:28:34,034 --> 00:28:35,902
I know crime...
MRS. VJORKA: In this country,
640
00:28:35,936 --> 00:28:37,403
you take newborn babies
641
00:28:37,437 --> 00:28:39,906
and snip off the ends
of their penises.
642
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:42,876
I imagine some other cultures
would object to that.
643
00:28:42,909 --> 00:28:45,111
The United States
believes in
644
00:28:45,145 --> 00:28:46,947
executing human beings
645
00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:49,950
while every other westernized
country finds that barbaric.
646
00:28:49,983 --> 00:28:51,785
Yes.
647
00:28:51,818 --> 00:28:54,387
I'm sure we could exchange
cultural barbs ad nauseam.
648
00:28:54,420 --> 00:28:55,789
It wouldn't change the fact
649
00:28:55,822 --> 00:28:57,257
you're this girl's
mother, uh...
650
00:28:57,290 --> 00:28:59,425
And I love her deeply.
651
00:29:00,266 --> 00:29:02,869
And perhaps you would
entertain the radical idea
652
00:29:02,903 --> 00:29:05,639
that a mother might know
what's best for her daughter.
653
00:29:05,672 --> 00:29:07,173
And perhaps
you could allow
654
00:29:07,207 --> 00:29:09,175
for the not-so-radical
reality,
655
00:29:09,209 --> 00:29:10,844
this girl is a child.
656
00:29:10,877 --> 00:29:12,979
MRS. VJORKA:
Whose parents deserve the right
657
00:29:13,013 --> 00:29:15,481
to raise her
according to their culture,
658
00:29:15,516 --> 00:29:18,084
even should it have
the audacity
659
00:29:18,118 --> 00:29:21,087
to vary from
the United States of America.
660
00:29:23,023 --> 00:29:24,925
Told you
she would be tough.
661
00:29:24,958 --> 00:29:26,492
Yes, you did.
662
00:29:29,896 --> 00:29:32,198
Anna, should we win here,
663
00:29:32,232 --> 00:29:34,334
are you going to be happy
being raised
664
00:29:34,367 --> 00:29:35,836
by your relatives?
665
00:29:36,369 --> 00:29:38,038
Maybe I'll marry you.
666
00:29:40,073 --> 00:29:41,141
Got you.
667
00:29:41,174 --> 00:29:42,342
(chuckles)
668
00:29:46,179 --> 00:29:48,081
My relatives understand.
669
00:29:49,349 --> 00:29:50,450
They'll look after me.
670
00:29:51,117 --> 00:29:52,753
Won't you miss
your parents?
671
00:29:52,786 --> 00:29:55,321
Of course, I will.
672
00:29:55,355 --> 00:29:57,157
I'll probably cry forever.
673
00:29:59,159 --> 00:30:01,067
But it's not right
that I should be forced
674
00:30:01,101 --> 00:30:03,604
to marry somebody
I do not love
675
00:30:03,637 --> 00:30:05,371
or even like.
676
00:30:06,807 --> 00:30:08,875
That is not right.
677
00:30:22,122 --> 00:30:23,657
(knocks on door)
678
00:30:23,690 --> 00:30:24,457
Jury's out?
679
00:30:25,458 --> 00:30:26,727
Who knows for how long
680
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,595
with your friend
taking the Fifth?
681
00:30:29,329 --> 00:30:31,497
Who are we kidding?
682
00:30:31,532 --> 00:30:32,866
Do you think it's possible
683
00:30:32,899 --> 00:30:33,967
he could have done it?
684
00:30:35,368 --> 00:30:36,402
I don't know.
685
00:30:40,373 --> 00:30:44,310
You know, we always go
to the spouse first,
686
00:30:44,344 --> 00:30:45,679
because he had no alibi.
687
00:30:46,346 --> 00:30:48,682
We interviewed every person
in this guy's life.
688
00:30:48,715 --> 00:30:50,350
All of them said
he was devoted
689
00:30:50,383 --> 00:30:52,418
to his wife and family.
690
00:30:52,452 --> 00:30:53,987
"Hopelessly
in love with her"
691
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:56,389
were the words
most often used.
692
00:30:56,422 --> 00:30:57,457
I don't see him
693
00:30:57,490 --> 00:30:59,192
stabbing her 31 times.
694
00:31:01,902 --> 00:31:03,436
No,
695
00:31:03,469 --> 00:31:06,106
I don't think
he could have done it,
696
00:31:06,139 --> 00:31:07,340
to answer your question.
697
00:31:13,847 --> 00:31:15,148
BENNETT: I'm not here
698
00:31:15,181 --> 00:31:18,685
representing
Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka.
699
00:31:18,719 --> 00:31:21,187
I'm here representing
the United States,
700
00:31:21,221 --> 00:31:24,558
a country being condemned
worldwide, at the moment,
701
00:31:24,591 --> 00:31:26,092
for imposing its views
702
00:31:26,126 --> 00:31:28,461
beyond its own borders.
703
00:31:29,229 --> 00:31:30,897
Do I favor
arranged marriages?
704
00:31:30,931 --> 00:31:32,198
Absolutely not.
705
00:31:32,232 --> 00:31:33,567
When children
are involved,
706
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,668
I find it abhorrent,
707
00:31:34,701 --> 00:31:36,369
as I'm sure you do,
Your Honor.
708
00:31:36,402 --> 00:31:38,872
But it is simply
not our right
709
00:31:38,905 --> 00:31:41,474
to dictate our notion
of morality
710
00:31:41,508 --> 00:31:42,676
to foreign countries.
711
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,246
Anna Vjorka is a wonderful,
little girl
712
00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:48,949
but by her own testimony,
713
00:31:48,982 --> 00:31:50,684
she's not really afraid
of getting married.
714
00:31:50,717 --> 00:31:52,418
She just doesn't
want to do it.
715
00:31:52,452 --> 00:31:54,354
That simply
fails to rise
716
00:31:54,387 --> 00:31:56,757
to the legal threshold
of persecution
717
00:31:56,790 --> 00:31:59,826
that warrants asylum.
718
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:02,068
This girl
has a loving family,
719
00:32:02,102 --> 00:32:04,605
eager to safeguard
her future
720
00:32:04,638 --> 00:32:07,440
according to their culture
and their tradition.
721
00:32:07,473 --> 00:32:10,343
As much as we might reject
that tradition,
722
00:32:10,376 --> 00:32:12,145
it is not our right
723
00:32:12,178 --> 00:32:14,280
to substitute our own.
724
00:32:16,917 --> 00:32:18,985
Your Honor,
these are not particularly
725
00:32:19,019 --> 00:32:21,254
proud times
for Americans.
726
00:32:21,287 --> 00:32:23,389
Around the world,
we're increasingly
727
00:32:23,423 --> 00:32:25,258
perceived
as imperialists.
728
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:26,392
Where they get that,
729
00:32:26,426 --> 00:32:27,528
I haven't a clue.
730
00:32:27,561 --> 00:32:29,630
But I think
we can all agree,
731
00:32:29,663 --> 00:32:32,332
the last thing
we need to do right now
732
00:32:32,365 --> 00:32:34,034
is to continue to police
733
00:32:34,067 --> 00:32:35,769
more foreign cultures.
734
00:32:35,802 --> 00:32:37,704
The truth is I agree
with almost everything
735
00:32:37,738 --> 00:32:39,439
Mr. Bennett just said.
736
00:32:39,472 --> 00:32:41,074
But this is a child
737
00:32:42,308 --> 00:32:44,044
facing an enforced marriage
738
00:32:44,077 --> 00:32:45,846
she does not want,
739
00:32:45,879 --> 00:32:47,648
facing enforced sex
740
00:32:47,681 --> 00:32:48,949
she does not want.
741
00:32:48,982 --> 00:32:50,784
This isn't tantamount
to rape,
742
00:32:50,817 --> 00:32:52,052
it is rape.
743
00:32:53,219 --> 00:32:54,054
Rape.
744
00:32:56,422 --> 00:32:58,224
It may surprise you,
745
00:32:58,258 --> 00:33:00,433
but I happen to be
746
00:33:00,466 --> 00:33:02,368
a very proud American,
747
00:33:02,402 --> 00:33:05,706
and where I remain most proud
of our nation
748
00:33:05,739 --> 00:33:07,974
is in the belief
that its people
749
00:33:08,008 --> 00:33:12,012
remain strongly committed
to human rights.
750
00:33:12,045 --> 00:33:14,548
At our noblest,
the United States
751
00:33:14,581 --> 00:33:16,850
serves to protect the weak,
752
00:33:16,883 --> 00:33:19,452
the oppressed.
753
00:33:19,485 --> 00:33:22,923
A 12-year-old child
754
00:33:22,956 --> 00:33:25,859
is asking you today
to spare her
755
00:33:25,892 --> 00:33:29,329
from an unimaginable
atrocity.
756
00:33:29,362 --> 00:33:32,432
I fully understand we can't
be policemen for the world,
757
00:33:32,465 --> 00:33:34,200
but...
758
00:33:34,234 --> 00:33:38,104
how about for one innocent,
759
00:33:38,138 --> 00:33:39,840
vulnerable child?
760
00:33:57,290 --> 00:33:58,859
You sure you wanna be here?
761
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,867
They know he killed her.
762
00:34:00,901 --> 00:34:02,869
They have to know it.
763
00:34:02,903 --> 00:34:05,438
KIRKLAND: Mr. Foreman,
have you reached a verdict?
764
00:34:06,607 --> 00:34:07,574
We have, Your Honor.
765
00:34:08,208 --> 00:34:09,676
The defendant
will please rise.
766
00:34:16,482 --> 00:34:17,584
What say you?
767
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:22,856
In the matter of Commonwealth
versus Jake Spooner,
768
00:34:22,889 --> 00:34:26,159
on the charge of murder
in the first degree,
769
00:34:26,192 --> 00:34:27,894
we find the defendant,
Jake Spooner,
770
00:34:28,629 --> 00:34:29,930
not guilty.
771
00:34:29,963 --> 00:34:31,064
(indistinct chatter)
772
00:34:31,097 --> 00:34:31,765
KIRKLAND: Thank you.
773
00:34:32,198 --> 00:34:33,900
This completes your service.
774
00:34:33,934 --> 00:34:35,536
Mr. Spooner, you are free to go.
775
00:34:35,902 --> 00:34:36,870
We are adjourned.
776
00:34:36,903 --> 00:34:38,004
(gavel bangs)
777
00:34:38,038 --> 00:34:40,974
(indistinct chatter)
778
00:34:43,777 --> 00:34:45,712
You okay?
779
00:34:45,746 --> 00:34:46,713
Mr. Gilbert?
780
00:34:48,314 --> 00:34:50,283
I can still pursue him
civilly, right?
781
00:34:50,316 --> 00:34:52,553
Well, uh,
that affair business
782
00:34:52,586 --> 00:34:54,755
would come up
in a civil trial too.
783
00:34:56,022 --> 00:34:57,558
Mr. Gilbert,
uh, I don't mean to sound
784
00:34:57,591 --> 00:34:59,960
like a broken
record here, but...
785
00:34:59,993 --> 00:35:01,401
you really need
to let it go now.
786
00:35:01,434 --> 00:35:02,903
I mean,
you have a little girl.
787
00:35:02,936 --> 00:35:04,838
You have your entire life
ahead of you.
788
00:35:04,871 --> 00:35:06,106
Uh, otherwise...
WOMAN: There he is.
789
00:35:06,139 --> 00:35:09,075
(indistinct chatter)
790
00:35:10,777 --> 00:35:12,178
I keep saying
I got nothing to say
791
00:35:12,212 --> 00:35:14,548
other than, uh,
this was justice.
792
00:35:14,581 --> 00:35:15,716
I'm innocent.
793
00:35:15,749 --> 00:35:17,784
I didn't stab anybody.
794
00:35:17,818 --> 00:35:20,253
And I'm grateful
that the jury saw it my way.
795
00:35:20,754 --> 00:35:22,889
And now I'm just to try
to get back on with my life...
796
00:35:22,923 --> 00:35:24,958
(grunts)
MAN: Oh, shots fired!
797
00:35:24,991 --> 00:35:26,026
Get down!
798
00:35:26,059 --> 00:35:28,995
(indistinct chatter)
799
00:35:32,633 --> 00:35:33,767
MAN: Stay where you are.
800
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,737
(indistinct chatter)
801
00:35:42,809 --> 00:35:45,311
Witnesses reported
a blue pickup
802
00:35:45,345 --> 00:35:47,147
fleeing the scene.
803
00:35:47,180 --> 00:35:48,448
There has been no description
804
00:35:48,481 --> 00:35:50,083
of any of the occupants.
805
00:35:50,984 --> 00:35:52,452
Did he order it?
806
00:35:52,485 --> 00:35:53,587
Gilbert?
807
00:35:53,620 --> 00:35:54,788
I don't know.
808
00:35:55,722 --> 00:35:57,190
Well, who else
would have done it?
809
00:35:57,824 --> 00:35:58,959
I don't know.
810
00:35:58,992 --> 00:35:59,993
Where is he?
811
00:36:00,466 --> 00:36:02,135
Police got him
for questioning.
812
00:36:02,468 --> 00:36:04,671
Is there a reason
you're not with him?
813
00:36:06,773 --> 00:36:08,174
I'm done with the man.
814
00:36:20,754 --> 00:36:22,155
People from all over the world
815
00:36:22,188 --> 00:36:24,124
appear before me every day
816
00:36:24,157 --> 00:36:25,659
begging,
817
00:36:25,692 --> 00:36:28,895
"Please let me stay
in this country."
818
00:36:29,395 --> 00:36:31,965
Some facing
unimaginable poverty,
819
00:36:31,998 --> 00:36:33,199
oppression,
820
00:36:33,233 --> 00:36:34,701
or cultural hatred.
821
00:36:35,869 --> 00:36:37,137
We typically,
822
00:36:37,170 --> 00:36:38,605
uniformly,
823
00:36:38,639 --> 00:36:40,173
say no.
824
00:36:42,075 --> 00:36:43,677
Here we have a young girl who,
825
00:36:43,710 --> 00:36:45,311
quite justifiably,
826
00:36:45,345 --> 00:36:46,713
doesn't want to have her hand
827
00:36:46,747 --> 00:36:47,881
forced in marriage
828
00:36:47,914 --> 00:36:49,983
at the age of 12.
829
00:36:51,117 --> 00:36:53,620
Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka,
830
00:36:53,654 --> 00:36:55,355
I find this Roma tradition
831
00:36:55,388 --> 00:36:57,090
to be repugnant,
832
00:36:57,423 --> 00:36:59,092
even sick.
833
00:36:59,125 --> 00:37:00,600
But I realize that could be
834
00:37:00,634 --> 00:37:04,370
my own cultural bias talking.
835
00:37:04,403 --> 00:37:07,140
And I am mindful that
the legal test
836
00:37:07,173 --> 00:37:09,375
for persecution
is not how I feel
837
00:37:09,408 --> 00:37:12,178
or even what Anna feels,
838
00:37:12,211 --> 00:37:14,413
but what the reasonable person
839
00:37:14,447 --> 00:37:15,949
in Anna's predicament,
840
00:37:15,982 --> 00:37:18,952
in Anna's country would feel.
841
00:37:20,353 --> 00:37:22,155
The testimony in evidence
842
00:37:22,188 --> 00:37:24,224
seemed to clearly establish
843
00:37:24,257 --> 00:37:27,928
that these forced marriages
typically happen
844
00:37:27,961 --> 00:37:30,363
in the Roma faith.
845
00:37:30,396 --> 00:37:32,098
That it's a cultural norm.
846
00:37:32,666 --> 00:37:33,867
And that the reasonable
847
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:35,702
Roma 12-year-old girl
848
00:37:35,736 --> 00:37:38,772
does not feel
persecuted by them.
849
00:37:39,673 --> 00:37:43,309
Looking at this
through their lens,
850
00:37:43,343 --> 00:37:46,346
which I am required
by law to do,
851
00:37:46,379 --> 00:37:49,082
I cannot find
the level of persecution
852
00:37:49,115 --> 00:37:52,285
that would authorize me
to grant asylum.
853
00:37:55,989 --> 00:37:58,659
Mr. and Mrs. Vjorka,
854
00:37:58,692 --> 00:38:01,602
I would love nothing more than
to impose my American culture
855
00:38:01,635 --> 00:38:04,170
and my American values upon you,
856
00:38:04,204 --> 00:38:06,039
but I can't.
857
00:38:06,707 --> 00:38:08,809
All I can do is hope,
858
00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:12,546
even pray, that you abide
859
00:38:12,579 --> 00:38:14,214
by your daughter's wishes.
860
00:38:18,251 --> 00:38:20,887
The plaintiff's petition
is denied.
861
00:38:20,921 --> 00:38:23,356
The minor should be immediately
released to her parents.
862
00:38:23,824 --> 00:38:24,825
(gavel bangs)
863
00:38:32,232 --> 00:38:33,099
(sighs)
864
00:38:38,672 --> 00:38:39,706
Can we appeal?
865
00:38:41,207 --> 00:38:42,142
No.
866
00:38:44,410 --> 00:38:46,513
What do you mean?
867
00:38:46,547 --> 00:38:47,948
There's always appeals.
868
00:38:48,615 --> 00:38:49,816
Not on this.
869
00:38:55,388 --> 00:38:56,690
That's not right.
870
00:39:00,300 --> 00:39:01,735
Why...
871
00:39:03,203 --> 00:39:04,137
MR. VJORKA: Anna?
872
00:39:05,872 --> 00:39:07,808
You need to come
with us now.
873
00:39:10,010 --> 00:39:11,244
I can't.
874
00:39:13,013 --> 00:39:13,880
I won't.
875
00:39:14,848 --> 00:39:16,182
MRS. VJORKA: Anna.
876
00:39:16,617 --> 00:39:17,951
You need to come with us.
877
00:39:24,925 --> 00:39:26,392
I'm sorry.
878
00:39:38,739 --> 00:39:40,306
Thank you very much.
879
00:39:44,678 --> 00:39:46,146
Goodbye, Mr. Shore.
880
00:39:47,247 --> 00:39:48,448
Goodbye, Anna.
881
00:39:48,481 --> 00:39:51,417
(music playing)
882
00:40:18,384 --> 00:40:20,420
What do I do with this
wrongful-death research?
883
00:40:21,487 --> 00:40:22,689
Put it in the file.
884
00:40:22,723 --> 00:40:25,592
We may send off an opinion
letter if he ever asks.
885
00:40:25,626 --> 00:40:27,493
And make sure
we bill him.
886
00:40:31,331 --> 00:40:32,733
Well, well, well,
887
00:40:32,766 --> 00:40:34,067
what have we here?
888
00:40:34,100 --> 00:40:35,368
A grieving husband?
889
00:40:35,401 --> 00:40:36,570
Murderer?
890
00:40:36,603 --> 00:40:37,270
Devil?
891
00:40:38,238 --> 00:40:39,172
All of the above?
892
00:40:41,041 --> 00:40:43,443
The police just questioned me
for five hours
893
00:40:43,476 --> 00:40:44,578
and released me.
894
00:40:44,611 --> 00:40:46,913
Yes. Well, I'm sure
there was no evidence.
895
00:40:46,947 --> 00:40:49,115
I'm sure the job
was immaculate.
896
00:40:49,816 --> 00:40:51,284
You stood beside me,
Mr. Young.
897
00:40:51,317 --> 00:40:54,020
You of all people know
I didn't kill Mr. Spooner.
898
00:40:55,522 --> 00:40:57,758
I don't know
you didn't order the hit.
899
00:40:57,791 --> 00:41:00,266
But I'll tell you this,
standing beside you,
900
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:02,536
I had the opportunity
to see your face
901
00:41:02,569 --> 00:41:04,070
when your wife's
killer went down.
902
00:41:04,571 --> 00:41:06,907
You didn't look surprised,
Mr. Gilbert.
903
00:41:06,940 --> 00:41:08,875
One could almost conclude
904
00:41:08,909 --> 00:41:10,777
you expected him
to get shot.
905
00:41:11,978 --> 00:41:13,346
Is that what you think?
906
00:41:14,615 --> 00:41:15,916
Here's what I know,
907
00:41:15,949 --> 00:41:18,118
you were desperate
for the death penalty,
908
00:41:18,151 --> 00:41:19,853
you said to me,
"He deserves a bullet
909
00:41:19,886 --> 00:41:21,287
right between the eyes."
910
00:41:21,321 --> 00:41:23,423
Those were your exact words,
Mr. Gilbert.
911
00:41:23,456 --> 00:41:24,725
Quite a coincidence,
don't you think?
912
00:41:24,758 --> 00:41:27,093
I mean, considering
where he got shot.
913
00:41:33,567 --> 00:41:36,302
You never had any affair.
914
00:41:36,336 --> 00:41:39,405
You sent that anonymous note
to the defense counsel.
915
00:41:39,439 --> 00:41:41,274
You set yourself up
with the question,
916
00:41:41,307 --> 00:41:42,743
then you pled the Fifth,
917
00:41:42,776 --> 00:41:44,745
knowing full well
your wife's killer
918
00:41:44,778 --> 00:41:45,979
would be set free.
919
00:41:47,313 --> 00:41:50,116
Then you had him executed,
920
00:41:51,585 --> 00:41:53,554
because that's what
he deserved.
921
00:41:54,655 --> 00:41:56,489
Mr. Young,
922
00:41:56,523 --> 00:41:58,592
I'm sure Mr. Spooner
had many enemies
923
00:41:58,625 --> 00:42:01,167
who wanted him dead.
924
00:42:01,201 --> 00:42:02,736
After all,
925
00:42:02,769 --> 00:42:06,039
we know he killed
before, right?
926
00:42:06,072 --> 00:42:08,374
He was only free
on a technicality
927
00:42:08,809 --> 00:42:10,644
because you were able
to suppress
928
00:42:10,677 --> 00:42:12,045
most of the evidence.
929
00:42:15,982 --> 00:42:17,884
That's why you chose me.
930
00:42:19,820 --> 00:42:22,222
You knew all the time
I gotten him off.
931
00:42:23,924 --> 00:42:25,726
I wish you well, Mr. Young.
932
00:42:25,759 --> 00:42:28,695
(music playing)
933
00:42:55,221 --> 00:42:58,158
(music playing)
934
00:43:19,419 --> 00:43:20,521
BOY: Score, score.
WOMAN: You stinker!
935
00:43:20,554 --> 00:43:21,688
BOY: Oh. (groans)
936
00:43:22,789 --> 00:43:25,659
(music playing)
