Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,226 --> 00:00:11,228
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:11,228 --> 00:00:12,534
the people are represented
3
00:00:12,534 --> 00:00:15,145
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:15,145 --> 00:00:17,017
the police,
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:19,845
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:19,845 --> 00:00:21,760
These are their stories.
7
00:00:23,762 --> 00:00:25,068
Was he upset?
8
00:00:25,068 --> 00:00:27,331
No, more like livid.
9
00:00:27,331 --> 00:00:28,550
Eh, not that I blame him.
10
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:30,378
I mean,
no one likes to get fired.
11
00:00:30,378 --> 00:00:32,336
I get it.
12
00:00:32,336 --> 00:00:34,425
But just to be safe,
we should beef up security
13
00:00:34,425 --> 00:00:36,514
for the next few weeks.
14
00:00:36,514 --> 00:00:40,170
I'm sure I'm overreacting,
but you never know.
15
00:00:40,170 --> 00:00:42,738
Pride is a dangerous thing.
16
00:00:44,827 --> 00:00:46,437
Okay, sounds good.
17
00:00:46,437 --> 00:00:48,744
See you tomorrow,
bright and early.
18
00:00:54,184 --> 00:00:55,838
I love this city.
19
00:00:59,015 --> 00:01:00,060
What are we lookin' at?
20
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,279
Male, white, mid-50s.
21
00:01:02,279 --> 00:01:03,846
Blunt-force trauma.
22
00:01:03,846 --> 00:01:05,674
Several severe blows
to the side of the head.
23
00:01:05,674 --> 00:01:07,893
- Ooh.
- Still got his watch.
24
00:01:07,893 --> 00:01:09,199
Patek Philippe.
25
00:01:09,199 --> 00:01:11,071
So either the killer
doesn't know watches
26
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,637
or this was not a robbery.
27
00:01:12,637 --> 00:01:13,725
Uh, the latter?
28
00:01:13,725 --> 00:01:15,118
Wallet's still
in his front pocket.
29
00:01:15,118 --> 00:01:18,295
- Time of death?
- Around 9:30.
30
00:01:18,295 --> 00:01:21,516
911 call came in at 9:37.
31
00:01:21,516 --> 00:01:22,995
From her.
32
00:01:22,995 --> 00:01:24,127
She know anything?
33
00:01:24,127 --> 00:01:26,347
Uh, saw someone.
34
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:28,436
Running west.
That's about it.
35
00:01:28,436 --> 00:01:31,091
Well, unless the killer's
a fish, he didn't run east.
36
00:01:32,396 --> 00:01:33,876
All right,
let's get a canvass going.
37
00:01:33,876 --> 00:01:36,835
Some witnesses
and surveillance cameras, yeah?
38
00:01:36,835 --> 00:01:40,752
Jerome Elliot, CEO/founder
of Shelvern Capital.
39
00:01:40,752 --> 00:01:44,713
"We find innovative ways
to sustain life."
40
00:01:47,455 --> 00:01:50,936
Not innovative enough.
41
00:02:37,374 --> 00:02:39,681
Jerome was a good man.
42
00:02:39,681 --> 00:02:41,204
He was...
43
00:02:41,204 --> 00:02:42,945
my everything.
44
00:02:42,945 --> 00:02:44,425
Sorry.
45
00:02:44,425 --> 00:02:47,428
No, we're sorry
for your loss.
46
00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:48,733
May I ask you,
is there anyone
47
00:02:48,733 --> 00:02:49,952
who wanted
to harm your husband?
48
00:02:49,952 --> 00:02:51,258
Did he have any enemies?
49
00:02:51,258 --> 00:02:53,695
Uh, not that I'm aware of.
50
00:02:53,695 --> 00:02:55,827
Not on a personal level, anyway.
51
00:02:55,827 --> 00:02:57,220
How about
a professional level?
52
00:02:57,220 --> 00:02:58,439
I'm not sure.
53
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:00,702
We didn't talk
about his business much.
54
00:03:00,702 --> 00:03:03,879
Any idea why he was walking
in East River Park last night?
55
00:03:05,228 --> 00:03:06,316
That's what he did at night.
56
00:03:06,316 --> 00:03:07,839
He liked to walk
57
00:03:07,839 --> 00:03:10,799
and look around
and take in the city lights.
58
00:03:10,799 --> 00:03:14,324
It was one of his favorite
things in the world.
59
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:16,413
Said that's
when he did his best thinking.
60
00:03:16,413 --> 00:03:18,676
- Mom?
- Hi, baby.
61
00:03:18,676 --> 00:03:20,852
You go to Cromwell Academy?
62
00:03:20,852 --> 00:03:23,855
- I'm a junior.
- Good for you.
63
00:03:23,855 --> 00:03:26,815
I just have to ask you,
did you notice anything unusual
64
00:03:26,815 --> 00:03:29,034
these past two weeks
with your father?
65
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:30,862
Was anyone following him?
66
00:03:30,862 --> 00:03:33,038
Was anyone harassing him?
67
00:03:33,038 --> 00:03:34,518
I don't know.
68
00:03:34,518 --> 00:03:36,738
Okay.
Thank you.
69
00:03:38,783 --> 00:03:39,610
That should be it.
70
00:03:39,610 --> 00:03:42,352
Thank you for your time.
71
00:03:42,352 --> 00:03:44,833
It's probably nothing,
but a few days ago,
72
00:03:44,833 --> 00:03:47,139
Jerome started complaining
about work.
73
00:03:47,139 --> 00:03:49,272
- Was that unusual?
- Very.
74
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:50,752
He never complained,
but the other night,
75
00:03:50,752 --> 00:03:52,144
he seemed, um...
76
00:03:52,144 --> 00:03:53,885
really stressed.
77
00:03:53,885 --> 00:03:56,758
Said he was tired of being
the bad guy all the time.
78
00:03:58,325 --> 00:04:00,457
Thank you.
79
00:04:01,937 --> 00:04:04,722
Guy's got, what,
a $40 million-apartment?
80
00:04:04,722 --> 00:04:06,942
Maybe more?
- Give or take.
81
00:04:06,942 --> 00:04:08,944
My point is,
if he's a billionaire,
82
00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:10,337
why is he so stressed out
about work?
83
00:04:10,337 --> 00:04:11,425
I don't get it.
- I don't know.
84
00:04:11,425 --> 00:04:12,948
Maybe that's why
he's a billionaire.
85
00:04:12,948 --> 00:04:14,210
Small world:
86
00:04:14,210 --> 00:04:16,473
Lily goes to the same school
as his daughter.
87
00:04:16,473 --> 00:04:18,736
Cromwell Academy.
- Ooh, fancy shmancy.
88
00:04:18,736 --> 00:04:19,911
You got a side hustle
I don't know about?
89
00:04:19,911 --> 00:04:22,392
- Free ride.
- Ah, must be smart.
90
00:04:22,392 --> 00:04:24,264
Takes after her mama, huh?
91
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:26,309
Great school.
92
00:04:26,309 --> 00:04:27,745
But?
93
00:04:27,745 --> 00:04:29,573
But nothin'.
94
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,575
Okay, fine, it's a little
too progressive for me.
95
00:04:31,575 --> 00:04:34,186
Vi, it's me.
Hey, listen.
96
00:04:34,186 --> 00:04:35,927
Hey, I need you
to start combin'
97
00:04:35,927 --> 00:04:38,016
through Elliot's emails
and texts.
98
00:04:38,016 --> 00:04:40,323
Word is he was stressed out
about work.
99
00:04:40,323 --> 00:04:42,282
Let's see
if we can find out why.
100
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:47,330
So I sent some stupid texts.
101
00:04:47,330 --> 00:04:49,071
Problem is,
Elliot was killed
102
00:04:49,071 --> 00:04:51,595
shortly after you sent
those stupid texts.
103
00:04:51,595 --> 00:04:54,468
So they're not just stupid,
they're evidence.
104
00:04:54,468 --> 00:04:56,121
And we spoke
with one of his employees.
105
00:04:56,121 --> 00:04:57,471
Said he had to beef up security
106
00:04:57,471 --> 00:04:58,776
because he was so concerned
about you.
107
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:00,909
Please, I didn't kill Jerome.
108
00:05:00,909 --> 00:05:03,346
I was just pissed.
- Why's that?
109
00:05:03,346 --> 00:05:06,436
Son of a bitch persuaded me
to partner up with his firm.
110
00:05:06,436 --> 00:05:07,611
We were going
to change the world
111
00:05:07,611 --> 00:05:09,221
and make billions doing it.
112
00:05:09,221 --> 00:05:12,137
Then two months after
the deal closes, he fires me.
113
00:05:12,137 --> 00:05:13,748
That would piss me off too.
114
00:05:13,748 --> 00:05:15,663
When's the last time
you saw him?
115
00:05:15,663 --> 00:05:17,708
Yesterday morning,
around 11:00.
116
00:05:17,708 --> 00:05:21,016
But like I said,
I didn't kill him.
117
00:05:21,016 --> 00:05:22,452
Hell, he made me rich.
118
00:05:22,452 --> 00:05:25,368
I walked away
with a $50 million-parachute.
119
00:05:25,368 --> 00:05:26,848
Mm.
120
00:05:26,848 --> 00:05:29,111
Just the same,
we're gonna need to know
121
00:05:29,111 --> 00:05:31,461
what you were doing last night
around 9:30.
122
00:05:31,461 --> 00:05:33,942
I was in my apartment
drinking Scotch.
123
00:05:33,942 --> 00:05:37,424
I ordered some Chinese food
around 9:00.
124
00:05:37,424 --> 00:05:38,990
Ask my doorman.
125
00:05:38,990 --> 00:05:40,992
He'll verify all this.
- Yeah, we will.
126
00:05:40,992 --> 00:05:42,820
You and Elliot spend
a lot of time together?
127
00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:44,822
Yeah, during
the due diligence process,
128
00:05:44,822 --> 00:05:47,477
we were inseparable
for three or four months.
129
00:05:47,477 --> 00:05:48,826
Was there anything unusual
going on?
130
00:05:48,826 --> 00:05:51,176
Was anyone threatening him?
Suing him?
131
00:05:51,176 --> 00:05:52,482
A guy like Jerome?
132
00:05:52,482 --> 00:05:55,442
Guessing he gets threatened
and sued a lot.
133
00:05:55,442 --> 00:05:57,531
But from where I sit,
134
00:05:57,531 --> 00:05:59,968
it sounded like his bigger
problems were at home.
135
00:05:59,968 --> 00:06:01,273
Meaning what?
136
00:06:01,273 --> 00:06:03,406
Few days ago,
he got into a nasty argument
137
00:06:03,406 --> 00:06:04,451
with his daughter.
138
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:05,495
I could hear her screaming
139
00:06:05,495 --> 00:06:06,453
through the phone.
140
00:06:06,453 --> 00:06:08,063
She was furious.
141
00:06:11,545 --> 00:06:13,285
He found a vape pen
in my bedroom,
142
00:06:13,285 --> 00:06:16,506
started yelling at me,
and, yeah, I got upset.
143
00:06:16,506 --> 00:06:18,900
He said some mean things that...
144
00:06:18,900 --> 00:06:21,555
I lost my temper
and started screaming.
145
00:06:21,555 --> 00:06:24,906
- Did you two argue a lot?
- Yeah, but, um...
146
00:06:24,906 --> 00:06:28,910
It was usually my fault.
I can be a nightmare.
147
00:06:30,215 --> 00:06:32,870
When's the last time
you saw your father?
148
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:35,395
Yesterday morning
before school.
149
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:36,874
What about last night?
150
00:06:36,874 --> 00:06:39,442
Did you go out?
Stay home?
151
00:06:39,442 --> 00:06:41,401
I had dinner with my mother
at a sushi place
152
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:42,837
in the Meatpacking District.
153
00:06:42,837 --> 00:06:44,708
What time did you finish?
154
00:06:44,708 --> 00:06:47,711
Little after 8:00.
155
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:50,671
I didn't even get
to say goodbye...
156
00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:53,108
Or sorry.
157
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:55,153
Sorry for what?
158
00:06:55,153 --> 00:06:57,460
We got in a fight
yesterday morning.
159
00:06:57,460 --> 00:06:59,549
Another one.
160
00:06:59,549 --> 00:07:00,855
He was pissed
I bought tickets
161
00:07:00,855 --> 00:07:02,378
to Taylor Swift
without asking him.
162
00:07:02,378 --> 00:07:04,467
And he called me
a spoiled brat.
163
00:07:04,467 --> 00:07:08,036
And I-I...I got really mad.
164
00:07:08,036 --> 00:07:11,561
Last thing I said to him
was, "I hate you."
165
00:07:19,526 --> 00:07:22,659
Hey, sweetheart.
166
00:07:22,659 --> 00:07:24,661
Whoa, whoa.
Whoa, you look good.
167
00:07:24,661 --> 00:07:26,576
Client's in town
from San Francisco.
168
00:07:26,576 --> 00:07:28,448
We're doing a dinner thing.
169
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:30,928
Can't knock the hustle.
170
00:07:30,928 --> 00:07:33,583
I feel like
I should know that phrase.
171
00:07:33,583 --> 00:07:35,803
- Jay-Z.
- Mm.
172
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:39,110
- Rough day?
- Yeah.
173
00:07:39,110 --> 00:07:40,808
This case I'm workin'.
174
00:07:40,808 --> 00:07:44,159
The vic left behind
a 16-year-old daughter.
175
00:07:44,159 --> 00:07:45,508
Mm.
176
00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:47,815
In fact,
the student goes to Cromwell.
177
00:07:47,815 --> 00:07:48,990
Really?
178
00:07:50,470 --> 00:07:52,341
That's terrible.
179
00:07:52,341 --> 00:07:55,170
Wonder if Lily knows her.
180
00:07:56,171 --> 00:07:58,478
- Be safe.
- Mm.
181
00:08:02,656 --> 00:08:06,660
I mean, we're not,
like, friends or anything.
182
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:08,836
- She a good kid?
- I guess.
183
00:08:08,836 --> 00:08:10,446
I don't know her too well.
184
00:08:10,446 --> 00:08:12,187
She hangs out
with the rich kids.
185
00:08:12,187 --> 00:08:13,623
Mm.
186
00:08:13,623 --> 00:08:15,320
But we spent
a lot of time together
187
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,366
at the retreat.
188
00:08:17,366 --> 00:08:18,498
Retreat?
189
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:21,631
That field trip
up in Woodstock.
190
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:23,633
She was in my share group.
191
00:08:23,633 --> 00:08:24,634
What's that?
192
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:26,680
We broke into small groups
193
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,334
and talked about our problems.
194
00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:31,075
Some kids got really deep too.
195
00:08:31,075 --> 00:08:34,339
Like, talked about
all kinds of things.
196
00:08:34,339 --> 00:08:36,080
Yeah?
197
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,168
Like what?
198
00:08:37,168 --> 00:08:39,301
I'm not supposed
to talk about it.
199
00:08:39,301 --> 00:08:42,173
Lily, I'm your father.
You can tell me anything.
200
00:08:42,173 --> 00:08:45,612
It'll stay between you and me,
I promise.
201
00:08:45,612 --> 00:08:47,657
What did they share?
202
00:08:47,657 --> 00:08:49,964
Kids talked
about stuff like...
203
00:08:49,964 --> 00:08:52,575
eating disorders,
sexual assault, drugs.
204
00:08:52,575 --> 00:08:54,838
What?
205
00:08:54,838 --> 00:08:56,797
And the school wanted you
to actually talk about this
206
00:08:56,797 --> 00:08:57,885
in front of other kids?
207
00:08:57,885 --> 00:09:00,061
That's the whole point. Yeah.
208
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:04,500
W-what'd you share?
209
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,023
Nothing bad.
210
00:09:06,023 --> 00:09:07,198
Lily,
that wasn't the question.
211
00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:08,417
I didn't say much.
212
00:09:08,417 --> 00:09:09,810
I just listened.
213
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:12,290
There's nothing to worry about.
214
00:09:12,943 --> 00:09:14,597
What about
this Sophia Elliot?
215
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:16,425
She share anything
that was concerning?
216
00:09:16,425 --> 00:09:19,646
Dad, I'm not supposed
to, like, talk about that.
217
00:09:19,646 --> 00:09:21,386
Look, if she said something
218
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:25,216
that can help me find the
person who killed her father,
219
00:09:25,216 --> 00:09:27,262
I need to know.
220
00:09:32,876 --> 00:09:35,052
She said
her father was abusive
221
00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:37,751
and that...
222
00:09:37,751 --> 00:09:42,756
she was afraid
he might kill her someday.
223
00:09:56,639 --> 00:09:58,162
Sophia?
224
00:09:58,162 --> 00:09:59,424
I don't mean to bother you.
225
00:09:59,424 --> 00:10:01,035
I just, uh--
226
00:10:01,035 --> 00:10:05,082
I just have
a few follow-up questions I'd--
227
00:10:05,082 --> 00:10:07,171
would you mind
if we talked in private?
228
00:10:08,433 --> 00:10:09,565
Are you okay?
229
00:10:09,565 --> 00:10:11,523
Yeah, I'm fine.
230
00:10:11,523 --> 00:10:13,700
This is my boyfriend, Aaron.
231
00:10:13,700 --> 00:10:15,223
- Hey.
- Good to meet you, Aaron.
232
00:10:15,223 --> 00:10:16,746
What's going on?
233
00:10:16,746 --> 00:10:18,748
You've already asked her
a bunch of questions.
234
00:10:18,748 --> 00:10:20,315
We just have a few more.
235
00:10:20,315 --> 00:10:22,099
Let's talk outside.
236
00:10:30,804 --> 00:10:33,720
Someone told us that, uh...
237
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,983
your father
may have been abusing you.
238
00:10:35,983 --> 00:10:37,071
What?
239
00:10:37,071 --> 00:10:39,508
You told
some of your classmates
240
00:10:39,508 --> 00:10:41,249
that you were afraid
of your dad
241
00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:42,206
and that he was abusing you.
242
00:10:42,206 --> 00:10:43,860
Is that correct?
243
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:46,167
The retreat was supposed
to be private.
244
00:10:46,167 --> 00:10:47,298
Who told you that?
245
00:10:47,298 --> 00:10:49,474
We can't say.
246
00:10:49,474 --> 00:10:50,737
Your daughter?
247
00:10:50,737 --> 00:10:52,521
Sophia, I know this is hard.
248
00:10:52,521 --> 00:10:53,870
We're just trying
to figure out if--
249
00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:55,045
If what?
250
00:10:55,045 --> 00:10:56,525
I killed him?
251
00:10:56,525 --> 00:10:59,571
I loved my father.
He was my best friend.
252
00:11:01,182 --> 00:11:02,749
Then why'd you say
he abused you?
253
00:11:02,749 --> 00:11:04,185
I don't know. I--
254
00:11:04,185 --> 00:11:07,231
I didn't mean it literally.
I was just venting.
255
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:10,234
I--he never hit me
or anything like that.
256
00:11:10,234 --> 00:11:13,977
He wo--he would just get mad
at me for doing stupid things,
257
00:11:13,977 --> 00:11:16,023
like all fathers.
258
00:11:16,023 --> 00:11:20,592
So when kids were sharing
their negative experiences, I--
259
00:11:20,592 --> 00:11:23,291
that's what popped
into my head.
260
00:11:23,291 --> 00:11:25,119
Okay.
261
00:11:25,119 --> 00:11:27,512
I think I understand.
262
00:11:27,512 --> 00:11:28,818
Thanks.
263
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:35,346
Sophia and her mom
got home at 8:20,
264
00:11:35,346 --> 00:11:38,219
but Sophia is seen sneaking out
of the building alone
265
00:11:38,219 --> 00:11:39,829
at 8:50.
- Mm.
266
00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:42,266
Doesn't get back
till well after midnight.
267
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:46,444
Cameras track her stopping off
at a condo in Tribeca at 9:12.
268
00:11:46,444 --> 00:11:48,446
So she lied to us about
turning in for the evening.
269
00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:49,665
Yes, sir.
270
00:11:49,665 --> 00:11:51,232
We know who she was visiting?
271
00:11:51,232 --> 00:11:53,190
Shouldn't be too hard
to figure out.
272
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:56,063
There's only five units
in the building.
273
00:11:56,063 --> 00:11:58,152
Here's a list
of the registered owners.
274
00:11:58,152 --> 00:11:59,501
Walsh.
275
00:11:59,501 --> 00:12:01,982
I recognize that name.
276
00:12:01,982 --> 00:12:04,506
There's a kid in Lily's class
named, uh...
277
00:12:04,506 --> 00:12:06,073
Cooper Walsh.
278
00:12:14,124 --> 00:12:15,343
That's our guy.
279
00:12:15,343 --> 00:12:18,041
Cooper Walsh?
280
00:12:18,041 --> 00:12:20,348
Hey, hey!
Kid, don't run!
281
00:12:20,348 --> 00:12:21,523
Yo! Hey!
282
00:12:24,004 --> 00:12:26,223
Police!
283
00:12:27,834 --> 00:12:29,357
Stay on the ground!
Stay on the ground!
284
00:12:29,357 --> 00:12:30,619
Cooper, turn over.
285
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,536
Nice work, bro.
286
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:36,233
Felt good too.
287
00:12:37,844 --> 00:12:40,281
I really didn't know
you guys were the police, okay?
288
00:12:40,281 --> 00:12:42,587
I heard someone yell my name,
and then I got nervous.
289
00:12:42,587 --> 00:12:44,241
- Nervous?
- Yeah.
290
00:12:44,241 --> 00:12:45,242
Why's that?
291
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,419
Hey.
292
00:12:48,419 --> 00:12:51,901
One of my friend's fathers
just got murdered, okay?
293
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:54,948
Okay, and I might have
smoked a little bit of weed
294
00:12:54,948 --> 00:12:57,080
with my buddies, so I'm
a little bit paranoid, okay?
295
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,606
- You're 18, right?
- Yes. Yeah, why?
296
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:03,783
Just wanna make sure we don't
have to call Mommy and Daddy.
297
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:05,741
Okay, well,
I didn't do anything wrong.
298
00:13:05,741 --> 00:13:07,047
I swear, so...
299
00:13:07,047 --> 00:13:08,744
Cooper, you're friends
with Sophia Elliot.
300
00:13:08,744 --> 00:13:10,006
Right?
- Yeah.
301
00:13:10,006 --> 00:13:12,008
She was over at your condo
two nights ago?
302
00:13:12,008 --> 00:13:14,750
Yeah. Yeah, she came over
around, like, 9:00 or 9:30,
303
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:15,751
something like that.
304
00:13:15,751 --> 00:13:17,231
What time did she leave?
305
00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:18,928
Midnight, I guess.
306
00:13:18,928 --> 00:13:20,234
Maybe.
Something like--I don't know.
307
00:13:20,234 --> 00:13:21,322
Why? What's going on?
308
00:13:21,322 --> 00:13:22,584
We're just trying
to understand
309
00:13:22,584 --> 00:13:24,368
where Sophia was
around 9:30 that evening.
310
00:13:24,368 --> 00:13:26,762
And like I said,
she was with me, so...
311
00:13:26,762 --> 00:13:28,068
- Just the two of y'all?
- Yeah.
312
00:13:28,068 --> 00:13:30,070
My parents were in London.
313
00:13:30,070 --> 00:13:32,463
Help us out here, Cooper,
'cause when we asked her
314
00:13:32,463 --> 00:13:35,858
where she was the night
of her father's murder,
315
00:13:35,858 --> 00:13:38,861
she never mentioned
that she was seeing you.
316
00:13:38,861 --> 00:13:41,081
Is there a reason?
Is she hidin' something?
317
00:13:41,081 --> 00:13:45,737
No, look, I think
she feels badly about...
318
00:13:47,348 --> 00:13:50,046
She has a boyfriend, okay?
319
00:13:50,046 --> 00:13:52,614
She's tried to break up with
him several times, but he--
320
00:13:52,614 --> 00:13:56,661
he gets very emotional, and
she starts feelin' all guilty.
321
00:13:59,969 --> 00:14:02,058
And we're back to nowhere.
322
00:14:02,058 --> 00:14:04,017
Well, I wouldn't say
we're back to nowhere.
323
00:14:04,017 --> 00:14:05,322
I'd say we're...
324
00:14:05,322 --> 00:14:06,846
Nowhere-adjacent.
325
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:08,195
Yeah, okay.
326
00:14:08,195 --> 00:14:10,153
So what do we know?
327
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:12,547
Well,
killer is about 5'9"-ish.
328
00:14:12,547 --> 00:14:16,072
Uh, thin build.
And robbery was not a motive.
329
00:14:16,072 --> 00:14:20,120
Okay, so either
it is a random act of violence
330
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,948
or somebody was targeting him.
331
00:14:21,948 --> 00:14:23,558
I don't believe
in randomness.
332
00:14:23,558 --> 00:14:25,429
Yeah, neither do I.
333
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:28,650
So let's assume
that this was a targeted attack
334
00:14:28,650 --> 00:14:30,739
and the killer
didn't just get lucky
335
00:14:30,739 --> 00:14:33,394
and bump into Elliot
at East River Park,
336
00:14:33,394 --> 00:14:36,876
which means
they knew where Elliot was.
337
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,878
Hey, I'm checking
the victim's cell.
338
00:14:38,878 --> 00:14:42,664
Elliot was sharing GPS data
with another phone.
339
00:14:42,664 --> 00:14:44,709
Someone was tracking him?
340
00:14:44,709 --> 00:14:46,668
Question is, who?
341
00:14:46,668 --> 00:14:48,148
Yeah.
342
00:14:48,148 --> 00:14:49,976
And why?
343
00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:59,681
I'm sorry, but I have no idea
what you are talking about.
344
00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:02,553
Jerome Elliot's phone
was sharing GPS data
345
00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:04,860
with a burner phone
registered in your name.
346
00:15:04,860 --> 00:15:06,296
We just want to know why.
347
00:15:06,296 --> 00:15:08,385
I don't own a burner.
348
00:15:08,385 --> 00:15:10,735
And I don't know Mr. Elliot.
I've never even met him.
349
00:15:10,735 --> 00:15:12,433
Okay, Cooper.
350
00:15:12,433 --> 00:15:15,784
Your number is 646-555-0144?
- No.
351
00:15:15,784 --> 00:15:18,134
- Is that right?
- No, it's not.
352
00:15:18,134 --> 00:15:19,831
This is my number.
353
00:15:22,051 --> 00:15:24,314
Okay.
I think we're done here.
354
00:15:24,314 --> 00:15:25,620
Excuse me?
355
00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:26,969
If you want to ask
any more questions,
356
00:15:26,969 --> 00:15:28,710
I need to notify his parents.
357
00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:30,059
- Man's 18.
- He's still a kid.
358
00:15:30,059 --> 00:15:31,582
And I'm still head
of the school.
359
00:15:31,582 --> 00:15:32,844
Okay, okay.
360
00:15:32,844 --> 00:15:34,368
Cooper, you can go.
Thank you.
361
00:15:34,368 --> 00:15:36,239
Okay.
Thank you.
362
00:15:37,762 --> 00:15:39,634
Is there anything else
I can help you with?
363
00:15:39,634 --> 00:15:41,114
Yes.
364
00:15:41,114 --> 00:15:44,117
Who is in charge
of the class retreat?
365
00:15:44,117 --> 00:15:45,422
Excuse me?
366
00:15:45,422 --> 00:15:48,904
The retreat for the juniors
up in Woodstock.
367
00:15:48,904 --> 00:15:50,166
How do you know about that?
368
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:53,430
Oh, my daughter
goes to school here.
369
00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:55,693
- Oh.
- Shocking, I know.
370
00:15:55,693 --> 00:15:57,695
A cop's kid
goes to a place like this?
371
00:15:57,695 --> 00:15:58,827
- I didn't mean it like that.
- Sure you did.
372
00:15:58,827 --> 00:15:59,828
I get it all the time.
373
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:01,656
Anyway, who's in charge
374
00:16:01,656 --> 00:16:03,049
of the retreat?
375
00:16:03,049 --> 00:16:04,876
It was
a great couple of days.
376
00:16:04,876 --> 00:16:08,402
And I think
the kids really needed it.
377
00:16:08,402 --> 00:16:10,621
They've been through a lot.
- What do you mean?
378
00:16:10,621 --> 00:16:14,756
They spent half their high
school career in isolation.
379
00:16:14,756 --> 00:16:18,629
COVID robbed these kids
of a normal life.
380
00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:20,631
They lost two years--
381
00:16:20,631 --> 00:16:23,199
two very important years.
382
00:16:23,199 --> 00:16:26,898
Instead of socializing
and having fun,
383
00:16:26,898 --> 00:16:28,683
they were trapped at home
384
00:16:28,683 --> 00:16:31,164
staring at their computers
and their phones.
385
00:16:31,164 --> 00:16:33,209
I agree.
It's been very hard on them.
386
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:35,646
I assume Lily didn't
share anything of concern.
387
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:37,257
What the kids say
at the retreat
388
00:16:37,257 --> 00:16:38,649
stays at the retreat.
389
00:16:38,649 --> 00:16:40,651
Ah, like Vegas.
390
00:16:40,651 --> 00:16:42,349
I respect
your desire for privacy.
391
00:16:42,349 --> 00:16:43,567
I'm just trying to find out
392
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:46,092
if Cooper Walsh
said anything concerning.
393
00:16:46,092 --> 00:16:48,703
I just told you,
I can't discuss what the kids--
394
00:16:48,703 --> 00:16:50,400
Sure you can.
395
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,055
Cooper is a person of interest
in the murder of Jerome Elliot.
396
00:16:53,055 --> 00:16:54,361
And I'm a homicide detective.
397
00:16:54,361 --> 00:16:55,666
Sorry.
398
00:16:55,666 --> 00:16:57,016
I can't talk about anything
399
00:16:57,016 --> 00:17:00,715
that was discussed
in confidence.
400
00:17:00,715 --> 00:17:02,064
Okay.
Let's forget about the retreat.
401
00:17:02,064 --> 00:17:03,631
Let me just ask
a general question.
402
00:17:03,631 --> 00:17:04,936
Is Cooper a good kid?
403
00:17:04,936 --> 00:17:06,329
He's a great kid.
404
00:17:06,329 --> 00:17:09,245
Top of his class,
active in charitable programs.
405
00:17:09,245 --> 00:17:11,900
In my opinion,
as a psychologist,
406
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,642
there's nothing that suggests
he's capable of violence.
407
00:17:14,642 --> 00:17:17,036
That's good to know.
408
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:19,777
And for the record, in
my opinion as a homicide cop,
409
00:17:19,777 --> 00:17:21,953
everybody's capable.
410
00:17:24,739 --> 00:17:26,958
This kid, Cooper,
seemed genuinely baffled.
411
00:17:26,958 --> 00:17:28,177
I think he's tellin' the truth.
412
00:17:28,177 --> 00:17:29,222
So someone
413
00:17:29,222 --> 00:17:30,875
registered the phone
in his name?
414
00:17:30,875 --> 00:17:32,486
For what?
To frame him?
415
00:17:32,486 --> 00:17:34,792
Or spy on Jerome Elliot
without gettin' caught.
416
00:17:34,792 --> 00:17:36,751
Hey, Yee, how are we doing
on that address
417
00:17:36,751 --> 00:17:38,666
where the prepaid phone
was delivered?
418
00:17:38,666 --> 00:17:42,235
It's 468 Madison Avenue,
apartment 7F.
419
00:17:42,235 --> 00:17:44,063
It's definitely
not Cooper's address.
420
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,803
- Ah.
- It's an apartment owned
421
00:17:45,803 --> 00:17:48,676
by the Lawrence Cynthia Cole
Family Trust.
422
00:17:48,676 --> 00:17:50,982
They got kids?
423
00:17:50,982 --> 00:17:53,463
One.
Aaron Cole, age 16.
424
00:17:53,463 --> 00:17:54,812
Aaron?
425
00:17:54,812 --> 00:17:56,597
Wasn't that the name
of Sophia's boyfriend?
426
00:17:56,597 --> 00:17:57,902
Yeah.
427
00:17:57,902 --> 00:17:59,295
Pull up his social media.
428
00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:00,731
Okay.
429
00:18:04,518 --> 00:18:06,476
Show me the video we have
near the crime scene.
430
00:18:06,476 --> 00:18:07,912
Mm-hmm.
431
00:18:07,912 --> 00:18:11,264
Here it is in slo-mo.
432
00:18:11,264 --> 00:18:14,005
Same size, build.
433
00:18:14,005 --> 00:18:16,138
I got no idea what's going on
434
00:18:16,138 --> 00:18:19,054
or why this kid, Aaron, has
been tracking Jerome Elliot,
435
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:20,490
but we need some answers.
436
00:18:20,490 --> 00:18:23,798
We need to talk to him now.
437
00:18:26,583 --> 00:18:29,151
We can get you something
to drink, if you'd like.
438
00:18:29,151 --> 00:18:30,370
I'm fine.
439
00:18:30,370 --> 00:18:32,459
Hey, Frank,
Dad's on his way up.
440
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,027
How about something to eat?
441
00:18:36,027 --> 00:18:39,640
Granola bar? Apples?
442
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,860
I'm not hungry.
443
00:18:42,860 --> 00:18:45,428
Okay.
Up to you.
444
00:18:45,428 --> 00:18:47,038
Why don't you have a seat?
445
00:18:49,258 --> 00:18:53,784
And we'll come back when
your dad gets here, all right?
446
00:18:53,784 --> 00:18:55,177
There you go.
447
00:18:55,177 --> 00:18:57,179
I thought
Sophia was cheating on me.
448
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:59,399
She was always busy, you know?
And every time I tried
449
00:18:59,399 --> 00:19:00,878
to hang out with her,
she'd say she was having dinner
450
00:19:00,878 --> 00:19:02,315
with her father,
so I hacked into his phone.
451
00:19:02,315 --> 00:19:03,707
And I know that isn't right--
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
452
00:19:03,707 --> 00:19:04,926
We wanna talk all about that,
but not right now.
453
00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:06,188
Not before your dad gets here.
454
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:07,798
She was terrified.
I had to protect her.
455
00:19:07,798 --> 00:19:09,365
And so, I killed him, but I
didn't have any other choice.
456
00:19:09,365 --> 00:19:10,932
And I know
it's not the right thing,
457
00:19:10,932 --> 00:19:12,194
but I-I just didn't know
any other way to protect her.
458
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:13,717
Stop talking.
Not another word.
459
00:19:13,717 --> 00:19:15,066
Let's go, Aaron.
We're leaving.
460
00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:16,329
No, no, no.
It's too late for that.
461
00:19:16,329 --> 00:19:17,721
Step back.
462
00:19:17,721 --> 00:19:20,028
Your son just confessed
to a murder.
463
00:19:20,028 --> 00:19:21,551
Put your hands
behind your back, son.
464
00:19:31,996 --> 00:19:33,824
The defendant
isn't a hardened criminal.
465
00:19:33,824 --> 00:19:35,565
He's a 16-year-old kid.
466
00:19:35,565 --> 00:19:36,827
Who brutally murdered
467
00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:38,264
a pillar of New York's
business community.
468
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:40,266
I'm not arguing
for absolution, Sam.
469
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:43,486
I'm saying he's a mixed-up teen
who made a terrible mistake.
470
00:19:43,486 --> 00:19:45,923
Are you suggesting we kick
this over to juvenile court?
471
00:19:45,923 --> 00:19:47,621
Well, I'm suggesting
we at least consider it.
472
00:19:47,621 --> 00:19:49,927
If he were a Black gangbanger,
473
00:19:49,927 --> 00:19:51,146
would we be having
this conversation?
474
00:19:51,146 --> 00:19:52,843
No, this has nothing
to do with race.
475
00:19:52,843 --> 00:19:54,715
But it does.
476
00:19:54,715 --> 00:19:56,760
The last three homicide cases
477
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,110
involving
similar-aged defendants
478
00:19:59,110 --> 00:20:02,113
have all been tried as adults.
479
00:20:02,113 --> 00:20:04,464
And they have all been Black.
480
00:20:04,464 --> 00:20:06,770
All right, if you're
saying that this office
481
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:08,946
has been
systematically overcharging
482
00:20:08,946 --> 00:20:11,732
young Black defendants,
I agree.
483
00:20:11,732 --> 00:20:14,256
But how does trying Aaron Cole
as an adult
484
00:20:14,256 --> 00:20:15,823
solve that problem?
485
00:20:15,823 --> 00:20:17,738
It doesn't.
486
00:20:17,738 --> 00:20:20,523
But it keeps the city
from rioting
487
00:20:20,523 --> 00:20:22,699
and accusing us
of being racist.
488
00:20:22,699 --> 00:20:24,397
You wanna sacrifice
this kid's future
489
00:20:24,397 --> 00:20:25,702
in the name of politics?
490
00:20:25,702 --> 00:20:30,141
What I want
is to treat everyone equally.
491
00:20:30,141 --> 00:20:33,188
And right now, that means
trying him as an adult.
492
00:20:34,929 --> 00:20:37,975
He's six weeks shy
of his 17th birthday
493
00:20:37,975 --> 00:20:41,718
and he beat a man to death.
494
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:46,027
Forgive me
for not shedding a tear.
495
00:20:52,338 --> 00:20:53,991
We're seeking remand,
Your Honor.
496
00:20:53,991 --> 00:20:55,819
The defendant confessed
to the murder.
497
00:20:55,819 --> 00:20:57,473
And the evidence
we've collected so far
498
00:20:57,473 --> 00:20:58,822
supports that confession.
499
00:20:58,822 --> 00:21:00,607
Aaron Cole
has no criminal record
500
00:21:00,607 --> 00:21:02,086
and poses no flight risk.
501
00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:03,784
His father's
a respected surgeon.
502
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:05,133
His mom runs
a charitable foundation.
503
00:21:05,133 --> 00:21:07,178
The defendant's parents
aren't on trial here.
504
00:21:07,178 --> 00:21:08,354
We're talking
about an honor roll student
505
00:21:08,354 --> 00:21:10,312
who's never been
in trouble before, Judge.
506
00:21:10,312 --> 00:21:11,618
He's a kid.
507
00:21:11,618 --> 00:21:14,838
This case should be tried
in a juvenile court.
508
00:21:14,838 --> 00:21:17,145
Kid, adult,
sultan of Brunei,
509
00:21:17,145 --> 00:21:19,060
a man's skull was caved in.
510
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:19,974
Remanded.
511
00:21:19,974 --> 00:21:21,758
Next case.
512
00:21:22,803 --> 00:21:24,065
Mom.
513
00:21:24,065 --> 00:21:25,632
We're going to get you
out of here, Aaron.
514
00:21:25,632 --> 00:21:26,807
Don't worry.
515
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:31,290
Why are you doing this?
516
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,292
Why are you pretending
he's an adult?
517
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,424
He's just a boy,
for God's sake.
518
00:21:35,424 --> 00:21:38,079
We're moving
to suppress the confession.
519
00:21:39,602 --> 00:21:40,995
The confession is valid.
520
00:21:40,995 --> 00:21:43,345
The detectives
invited Aaron Cole
521
00:21:43,345 --> 00:21:45,869
to have a conversation
at the 27th Precinct.
522
00:21:45,869 --> 00:21:47,044
He agreed.
523
00:21:47,044 --> 00:21:48,742
En route,
they called his parents,
524
00:21:48,742 --> 00:21:50,265
let them know
what was going on.
525
00:21:50,265 --> 00:21:51,701
Once they arrived
at the precinct,
526
00:21:51,701 --> 00:21:53,529
they escorted Aaron
to a safe space.
527
00:21:53,529 --> 00:21:56,140
They didn't ask him
a single question.
528
00:21:56,140 --> 00:21:58,186
And then, totally unprovoked,
529
00:21:58,186 --> 00:21:59,927
he blurted out his confession.
530
00:21:59,927 --> 00:22:01,668
There's nothing
the detectives could have done.
531
00:22:01,668 --> 00:22:03,104
Sure there is.
532
00:22:03,104 --> 00:22:04,671
They could have waited
for his parents to show up
533
00:22:04,671 --> 00:22:06,368
before taking him
to the precinct.
534
00:22:06,368 --> 00:22:08,979
They could have brought him
to a safer location.
535
00:22:08,979 --> 00:22:11,330
A break room
in a busy police precinct?
536
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:13,854
That's hardly an appropriate
place to question a child.
537
00:22:13,854 --> 00:22:15,377
The detectives did
the best they could
538
00:22:15,377 --> 00:22:16,726
under the circumstances.
539
00:22:16,726 --> 00:22:18,380
The statute doesn't care
about best efforts.
540
00:22:18,380 --> 00:22:20,817
It cares about preventing
abuse and manipulation.
541
00:22:20,817 --> 00:22:22,341
There is no evidence suggesting
542
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,343
their actions were abusive
or manipulative.
543
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:26,519
It is not their fault
that he confessed.
544
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:28,259
What'd you expect them to do,
block their ears?
545
00:22:28,259 --> 00:22:30,740
The defendant
was 16 years old
546
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:32,351
at the time of the homicide, Judge.
547
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:33,613
16.
548
00:22:33,613 --> 00:22:35,876
He should have been accorded
more protection.
549
00:22:35,876 --> 00:22:37,356
And don't give me this nonsense
550
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,270
about a break room
being a safe space.
551
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:41,403
I promise you, that's not what
the legislature had in mind.
552
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:43,405
He was never questioned
in the break room
553
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:44,841
or anywhere else.
554
00:22:44,841 --> 00:22:47,757
So it really doesn't matter
where they escorted him.
555
00:22:47,757 --> 00:22:50,369
He would have confessed anyway.
556
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:52,022
But he's 16.
557
00:22:52,022 --> 00:22:55,156
He will be 17 in two days.
558
00:22:56,287 --> 00:22:58,551
The confession is suppressed.
559
00:23:04,818 --> 00:23:07,603
Hey.
How's it looking?
560
00:23:07,603 --> 00:23:09,126
Without the confession,
561
00:23:09,126 --> 00:23:11,390
more like a three-point shot
than a lay-up.
562
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,521
I don't know.
563
00:23:12,521 --> 00:23:15,132
The evidence
is still pretty strong.
564
00:23:15,132 --> 00:23:18,788
We have proof Aaron was
tracking Sophia and her dad
565
00:23:18,788 --> 00:23:21,138
on a burner phone he purchased
566
00:23:21,138 --> 00:23:23,271
using another student's name, right?
567
00:23:23,271 --> 00:23:26,448
Plus, the video of him a few
blocks from the crime scene
568
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:27,623
minutes before the murder
569
00:23:27,623 --> 00:23:29,451
wearing the same hoodie
as the killer.
570
00:23:29,451 --> 00:23:31,018
There was blood on it too,
so that should--
571
00:23:31,018 --> 00:23:32,976
That DNA report
just came back.
572
00:23:32,976 --> 00:23:35,152
The blood sample is too small.
573
00:23:35,152 --> 00:23:36,937
The lab
can't definitively prove
574
00:23:36,937 --> 00:23:40,506
that the blood
is a match to Elliot's.
575
00:23:40,506 --> 00:23:42,943
Blood is blood.
The jury can do the math.
576
00:23:42,943 --> 00:23:44,597
Not unless
we paint the right picture.
577
00:23:44,597 --> 00:23:46,990
The jury needs to understand
why Aaron killed Elliot,
578
00:23:46,990 --> 00:23:49,340
which means we have to prove
579
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:51,647
that Aaron knew what
Sophia said at the retreat.
580
00:23:51,647 --> 00:23:53,562
And the problem is,
Aaron wasn't there.
581
00:23:53,562 --> 00:23:56,347
He was home,
recovering from COVID.
582
00:23:56,347 --> 00:23:57,697
Exactly.
583
00:23:57,697 --> 00:24:01,396
But there were 78 other kids
at the retreat.
584
00:24:01,396 --> 00:24:04,443
It's hard to imagine they all
kept their mouths shut.
585
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:05,705
Uh-huh.
586
00:24:05,705 --> 00:24:07,446
I'll have Cosgrove and Shaw
dig back in.
587
00:24:11,885 --> 00:24:13,364
Good news.
588
00:24:13,364 --> 00:24:14,496
Good enough to make me forget
589
00:24:14,496 --> 00:24:15,932
that we just lost
Aaron's confession?
590
00:24:15,932 --> 00:24:18,152
No, but close.
591
00:24:18,152 --> 00:24:19,458
Detective Yee
just found footage
592
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:21,590
of Aaron walking in and out
of a vacant lot
593
00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:25,159
near his place
30 minutes after the murder.
594
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:29,250
Oh.
595
00:24:39,565 --> 00:24:40,870
Whoa.
596
00:24:40,870 --> 00:24:42,568
I got something here.
597
00:24:46,310 --> 00:24:48,399
And that ain't ketchup.
598
00:24:50,140 --> 00:24:51,751
I just heard back
from the lab.
599
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:54,449
The blood on the tennis racket
matches the victim's.
600
00:24:54,449 --> 00:24:56,756
- Fingerprints?
- No luck.
601
00:24:56,756 --> 00:24:58,366
Ah, doesn't matter.
602
00:24:58,366 --> 00:25:00,324
The video we have
of Aaron coming and going
603
00:25:00,324 --> 00:25:02,022
out of the vacant lot
should be good enough.
604
00:25:02,022 --> 00:25:04,067
Plus, all the additional
evidence we have.
605
00:25:04,067 --> 00:25:06,722
Strong case.
- Well, not according to Price.
606
00:25:06,722 --> 00:25:09,159
He still wants proof that Aaron
knew about the alleged abuse.
607
00:25:09,159 --> 00:25:11,684
Hey, I think
I found something.
608
00:25:11,684 --> 00:25:15,383
This was sent to Aaron's phone
the day after the retreat.
609
00:25:15,383 --> 00:25:17,211
"Crazy that Sophia had to live
610
00:25:17,211 --> 00:25:19,082
with this threat
hanging over her."
611
00:25:19,082 --> 00:25:20,344
Do you know who sent it?
612
00:25:20,344 --> 00:25:22,042
The name didn't pop up
on Aaron's phone,
613
00:25:22,042 --> 00:25:24,087
but I can track this number.
614
00:25:26,176 --> 00:25:28,570
That's okay.
615
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:30,529
I'll take care of it.
616
00:25:36,404 --> 00:25:37,884
Hey, Lil.
617
00:25:37,884 --> 00:25:40,582
Uh, we need to talk.
618
00:25:40,582 --> 00:25:42,758
Okay.
619
00:25:42,758 --> 00:25:45,631
We found...
620
00:25:45,631 --> 00:25:49,243
the text you sent to Aaron.
621
00:25:49,243 --> 00:25:50,766
What do you mean?
622
00:25:50,766 --> 00:25:53,073
About Sophia's father?
623
00:25:53,073 --> 00:25:55,379
I knew Aaron was dating her.
624
00:25:55,379 --> 00:25:58,295
And we're in the same
history class, so I-I just--
625
00:25:58,295 --> 00:26:00,341
Why didn't you tell me?
626
00:26:00,341 --> 00:26:04,301
Well, I didn't think
it was a big deal.
627
00:26:04,301 --> 00:26:06,303
It is.
628
00:26:06,303 --> 00:26:09,959
This--this is my fault?
629
00:26:09,959 --> 00:26:11,787
This is my fault, isn't it?
630
00:26:11,787 --> 00:26:14,181
If I hadn't told Aaron, then--
631
00:26:14,181 --> 00:26:16,183
No, that's not what I meant.
632
00:26:16,183 --> 00:26:19,621
I was so freaked out
about what Sophia said.
633
00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:22,319
And I needed to talk--
to talk about what I'd heard,
634
00:26:22,319 --> 00:26:23,799
so I told Aaron.
- Come here. Come here.
635
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:24,931
Come here, sweetie.
636
00:26:24,931 --> 00:26:27,107
I'm sorry.
637
00:26:29,979 --> 00:26:33,156
Don't tell anybody, okay?
638
00:26:33,156 --> 00:26:36,682
Can you keep this
a secret, please?
639
00:26:48,041 --> 00:26:50,347
Your daughter goes to school
with the defendant?
640
00:26:50,347 --> 00:26:51,914
Yeah,
and she told the defendant
641
00:26:51,914 --> 00:26:53,699
what Sophia said
about her father at the retreat
642
00:26:53,699 --> 00:26:56,049
and texted him too.
643
00:26:56,049 --> 00:26:59,574
Well, that's obviously
helpful information.
644
00:26:59,574 --> 00:27:01,620
I know, but...
645
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,404
if there's anything you can do
646
00:27:03,404 --> 00:27:05,145
to keep my daughter
off the witness stand,
647
00:27:05,145 --> 00:27:06,668
I'd appreciate that.
648
00:27:08,801 --> 00:27:12,456
Look, I get it, but...
649
00:27:12,456 --> 00:27:14,110
I need to do
what's best for the case.
650
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:15,372
Your daughter's conversations
651
00:27:15,372 --> 00:27:16,809
with the defendant
are important.
652
00:27:16,809 --> 00:27:18,593
They help establish motive.
653
00:27:18,593 --> 00:27:21,291
They prove he knew
of Sophia's abuse allegations.
654
00:27:21,291 --> 00:27:22,902
There has to be other kids
655
00:27:22,902 --> 00:27:24,251
that talked to Aaron
about this.
656
00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:27,689
Maybe, but we haven't
been able to find any
657
00:27:27,689 --> 00:27:29,430
and neither have you.
658
00:27:31,214 --> 00:27:32,868
She's my kid, Nolan.
659
00:27:34,522 --> 00:27:36,829
I'm sorry, Frank.
I really am.
660
00:27:36,829 --> 00:27:39,658
But I have no choice.
661
00:27:47,404 --> 00:27:49,102
The teacher said
they wanted us
662
00:27:49,102 --> 00:27:51,713
to divulge our secrets
to the group--
663
00:27:51,713 --> 00:27:53,846
our feelings, hardships.
664
00:27:53,846 --> 00:27:55,717
And did the victim's daughter
665
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:59,808
disclose allegations of abuse
at her father's hand?
666
00:27:59,808 --> 00:28:01,854
Yes, they were
really disturbing.
667
00:28:01,854 --> 00:28:04,204
And did you have occasion
668
00:28:04,204 --> 00:28:08,164
to convey to the defendant
those allegations
669
00:28:08,164 --> 00:28:09,862
the day after the retreat?
670
00:28:09,862 --> 00:28:11,907
Yeah.
671
00:28:11,907 --> 00:28:14,562
I told him what Sophia said.
672
00:28:14,562 --> 00:28:16,129
And what did Aaron do
after you told him
673
00:28:16,129 --> 00:28:18,174
about those allegations?
674
00:28:18,174 --> 00:28:20,568
He was upset.
675
00:28:20,568 --> 00:28:23,745
He said
Sophia's father was a monster.
676
00:28:23,745 --> 00:28:25,878
I swear to God
677
00:28:25,878 --> 00:28:28,576
I thought
he was just gonna make sure
678
00:28:28,576 --> 00:28:31,927
that Sophia was okay,
not kill her father.
679
00:28:31,927 --> 00:28:34,625
Thank you, Miss Cosgrove.
680
00:28:35,888 --> 00:28:37,672
Miss Cosgrove,
681
00:28:37,672 --> 00:28:40,457
you're on scholarship
at Cromwell, correct?
682
00:28:40,457 --> 00:28:41,632
That's right.
683
00:28:41,632 --> 00:28:43,243
No chance
you're lying here today
684
00:28:43,243 --> 00:28:45,375
to make yourself
the center of attention?
685
00:28:45,375 --> 00:28:48,596
Maybe impress all those rich
kids that look down on you?
686
00:28:48,596 --> 00:28:51,730
Objection.
Argumentative and absurd.
687
00:28:51,730 --> 00:28:53,122
Sustained.
688
00:28:53,122 --> 00:28:55,037
Your father is a detective.
689
00:28:55,037 --> 00:28:58,519
He was involved in this case, correct?
690
00:28:58,519 --> 00:28:59,694
Yes.
691
00:28:59,694 --> 00:29:02,218
Well,
that's one more reason to lie.
692
00:29:02,218 --> 00:29:03,916
- Your Honor?
- Sustained.
693
00:29:03,916 --> 00:29:05,134
Watch it, Ms. Whitmer.
694
00:29:05,134 --> 00:29:06,788
I'm telling the truth.
695
00:29:06,788 --> 00:29:10,357
I told Aaron what Sophia said
at the retreat.
696
00:29:10,357 --> 00:29:12,446
Hmm.
697
00:29:12,446 --> 00:29:15,841
You shared your own secrets at
that retreat too, didn't you?
698
00:29:15,841 --> 00:29:18,495
Yes, all the students did.
699
00:29:18,495 --> 00:29:20,106
Did you tell
your fellow students
700
00:29:20,106 --> 00:29:21,803
that you had suicidal thoughts?
701
00:29:21,803 --> 00:29:23,674
Objection.
Relevance?
702
00:29:23,674 --> 00:29:25,328
Goes to impeachment.
703
00:29:25,328 --> 00:29:27,113
The witness's admission
of emotional instability
704
00:29:27,113 --> 00:29:29,115
at the retreat
undermines her credibility.
705
00:29:29,115 --> 00:29:30,594
My daughter
is not on trial here.
706
00:29:30,594 --> 00:29:31,813
Sit down, Detective.
707
00:29:31,813 --> 00:29:33,989
Interrupt again,
I'll hold you in contempt.
708
00:29:33,989 --> 00:29:35,295
Judge, may we approach?
709
00:29:41,388 --> 00:29:43,825
Miss Cosgrove's personal
disclosures at that retreat
710
00:29:43,825 --> 00:29:46,480
are irrelevant and should
be stricken from the record.
711
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,830
Her mental state
informs her credibility.
712
00:29:48,830 --> 00:29:51,485
I agree with Ms. Whitmer.
It goes to impeachment.
713
00:29:51,485 --> 00:29:53,835
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- But you've made your point.
714
00:29:53,835 --> 00:29:55,141
I'm not allowing a trial
715
00:29:55,141 --> 00:29:57,012
about Miss Cosgrove's
emotional well-being.
716
00:29:57,012 --> 00:29:59,580
Understood. I have no more
questions for this witness.
717
00:29:59,580 --> 00:30:02,975
Mr. Price, you can redirect,
if you wish.
718
00:30:02,975 --> 00:30:05,238
Thank you, Your Honor.
719
00:30:11,244 --> 00:30:14,421
Miss Cosgrove, your father
is a detective, correct?
720
00:30:14,421 --> 00:30:15,726
Yes.
721
00:30:15,726 --> 00:30:17,598
So growing up,
722
00:30:17,598 --> 00:30:20,340
you have been exposed
to the legal system.
723
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:23,343
You know how critical it is
724
00:30:23,343 --> 00:30:25,911
to tell the truth
in a court of law, right?
725
00:30:25,911 --> 00:30:27,173
Yes.
726
00:30:27,173 --> 00:30:30,089
Are you
currently experiencing
727
00:30:30,089 --> 00:30:31,873
any emotional instability
728
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:34,484
that might impact
your truthfulness here today?
729
00:30:34,484 --> 00:30:36,008
Objection.
730
00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:37,879
If the witness
is emotionally unstable,
731
00:30:37,879 --> 00:30:40,360
she is not competent
to assess how that instability
732
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,362
affects the truthfulness of
her testimony.
733
00:30:42,362 --> 00:30:44,320
Overruled.
The witness can answer.
734
00:30:46,801 --> 00:30:49,456
No.
735
00:30:49,456 --> 00:30:51,850
I'm fine.
736
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:55,114
And I told the truth.
737
00:30:55,114 --> 00:30:57,290
I told the truth.
738
00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:06,647
Lily. Lily.
739
00:31:06,647 --> 00:31:07,691
- Lily, wait.
- Lily, stop.
740
00:31:07,691 --> 00:31:09,215
Lily, Lily.
Hey, hey, hey.
741
00:31:09,215 --> 00:31:11,521
Hey.
- I never talked about suicide.
742
00:31:11,521 --> 00:31:13,610
I never said
I had those thoughts.
743
00:31:13,610 --> 00:31:15,395
But even if you did, you can
always talk to us about it.
744
00:31:15,395 --> 00:31:17,310
You know that, right?
745
00:31:17,310 --> 00:31:20,095
All I said was that
when I get really stressed,
746
00:31:20,095 --> 00:31:23,011
I can--I can understand
how kids can do crazy things.
747
00:31:23,011 --> 00:31:25,927
Like, I-I was just trying
to bear my soul and be open
748
00:31:25,927 --> 00:31:29,235
like the school told us to do,
but I swear I'm fine.
749
00:31:29,235 --> 00:31:31,498
We understand.
It's gotta be stressful.
750
00:31:31,498 --> 00:31:35,981
You know you can always
come to us with anything.
751
00:31:35,981 --> 00:31:37,330
I know, but...
752
00:31:37,330 --> 00:31:40,028
you said you wouldn't
tell anybody about this,
753
00:31:40,028 --> 00:31:42,117
and you lied.
754
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:45,338
I got her.
755
00:31:45,338 --> 00:31:47,557
She just needs
to blow off some steam.
756
00:31:56,653 --> 00:31:58,177
Ms. Whitmer.
757
00:31:58,177 --> 00:31:59,918
The Defense
calls Alan Meyerson.
758
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:02,442
Uh, Judge, may we approach?
759
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:09,840
The People object
to this witness.
760
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,364
- Excuse me?
- Cromwell Academy's
761
00:32:11,364 --> 00:32:13,757
potential liability
for the victim's death
762
00:32:13,757 --> 00:32:14,845
is a civil matter.
763
00:32:14,845 --> 00:32:16,064
Has nothing to do
with this case.
764
00:32:16,064 --> 00:32:17,413
We intend to argue
that Aaron Cole
765
00:32:17,413 --> 00:32:19,546
is not guilty
by reason of insanity.
766
00:32:19,546 --> 00:32:21,156
- What? Insanity?
- And that the reckless
767
00:32:21,156 --> 00:32:23,419
disclosures of the victim's
daughter at the retreat
768
00:32:23,419 --> 00:32:25,682
helped to insight
Mr. Cole's mental breakdown.
769
00:32:25,682 --> 00:32:27,206
So now he did it
770
00:32:27,206 --> 00:32:29,686
but only because
the retreat drove him insane?
771
00:32:29,686 --> 00:32:30,992
That--that is insane.
772
00:32:30,992 --> 00:32:32,515
The defendant
wasn't even there.
773
00:32:32,515 --> 00:32:36,171
She's blaming the school
for the murder.
774
00:32:36,171 --> 00:32:38,391
They can call
whomever they want, Mr. Price.
775
00:32:38,391 --> 00:32:40,001
Your objection is overruled.
776
00:32:40,001 --> 00:32:42,264
- Your Honor--
- Now, step back.
777
00:32:48,096 --> 00:32:49,663
The retreat is integral
778
00:32:49,663 --> 00:32:52,622
to fostering a spirit of
community amongst our students.
779
00:32:52,622 --> 00:32:54,537
It's an aid
to their emotional growth.
780
00:32:54,537 --> 00:32:56,278
Dr. Meyerson,
do you have a degree
781
00:32:56,278 --> 00:32:58,237
in developmental psychology?
782
00:32:58,237 --> 00:33:00,761
No, my doctorate
is in education.
783
00:33:00,761 --> 00:33:03,633
But surely you vetted
the retreat's agenda
784
00:33:03,633 --> 00:33:06,158
with developmental
psychologists, right?
785
00:33:06,158 --> 00:33:08,247
Well, the creation
of a safe space
786
00:33:08,247 --> 00:33:09,988
for our students
doesn't require a form--
787
00:33:09,988 --> 00:33:11,990
- Meaning you didn't.
- Objection.
788
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:13,208
The witness
is entitled to answer.
789
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:15,515
Dr. Meyerson?
790
00:33:18,126 --> 00:33:20,215
No, we didn't vet the retreat
with anybody,
791
00:33:20,215 --> 00:33:22,087
nor do we need to.
792
00:33:24,089 --> 00:33:26,787
Meaning you don't have
the slightest idea
793
00:33:26,787 --> 00:33:30,095
whether your retreats damage
your students or not, do you?
794
00:33:30,095 --> 00:33:32,314
They most certainly do not.
795
00:33:32,314 --> 00:33:33,968
Are you aware
of any emotional trauma
796
00:33:33,968 --> 00:33:36,362
suffered by students
stemming from your retreats?
797
00:33:36,362 --> 00:33:39,017
No, our retreat is designed
to prevent emotional trauma,
798
00:33:39,017 --> 00:33:40,757
not trigger it.
799
00:33:40,757 --> 00:33:43,804
Well, I think
there's a design flaw,
800
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:46,067
because your retreat
triggered my client
801
00:33:46,067 --> 00:33:48,243
to commit
a regrettable act of violence.
802
00:33:48,243 --> 00:33:49,940
But even more regrettable
803
00:33:49,940 --> 00:33:54,423
is he was a 16-year-old student
at your school.
804
00:33:54,423 --> 00:33:58,514
Your job was to help
your students, protect them,
805
00:33:58,514 --> 00:34:00,864
not fill their heads
with complicated stories
806
00:34:00,864 --> 00:34:02,083
of abuse and violence.
807
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:04,042
Objection.
She's making a speech.
808
00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:07,349
Withdrawn.
809
00:34:11,571 --> 00:34:13,094
Dr. Meyerson,
how many retreats
810
00:34:13,094 --> 00:34:15,096
has your school sponsored?
- Eight.
811
00:34:15,096 --> 00:34:16,358
Prior to this,
has any student
812
00:34:16,358 --> 00:34:18,056
ever behaved
in a violent manner
813
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:19,753
in the wake
of one of those retreats?
814
00:34:19,753 --> 00:34:21,233
No.
815
00:34:21,233 --> 00:34:26,368
Because the retreat is
a positive, constructive event
816
00:34:26,368 --> 00:34:29,241
that helps students, correct?
- Yes.
817
00:34:29,241 --> 00:34:30,981
It doesn't...
818
00:34:30,981 --> 00:34:32,722
turn them into killers.
819
00:34:32,722 --> 00:34:34,289
Of course not.
820
00:34:34,289 --> 00:34:36,335
Yeah.
Nothing further.
821
00:34:37,292 --> 00:34:38,772
You're excused.
822
00:34:41,601 --> 00:34:43,733
The Defense calls Aaron Cole.
823
00:34:46,693 --> 00:34:48,216
When your friend, Lily,
told you
824
00:34:48,216 --> 00:34:51,001
what Sophia said
about her father,
825
00:34:51,001 --> 00:34:53,743
how did that make you feel?
826
00:34:53,743 --> 00:34:55,876
Awful.
827
00:34:55,876 --> 00:34:58,922
I was scared for her.
828
00:34:58,922 --> 00:35:01,751
Scared he might hurt her again.
829
00:35:01,751 --> 00:35:04,580
Or worse, kill her.
830
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:06,756
Did you and Lily
have additional conversations
831
00:35:06,756 --> 00:35:09,933
about Sophia and her father
after that text?
832
00:35:09,933 --> 00:35:11,587
Yeah.
833
00:35:11,587 --> 00:35:13,763
We talked about it at school,
834
00:35:13,763 --> 00:35:16,114
texted about it more.
835
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:17,811
Just made me angrier.
836
00:35:17,811 --> 00:35:19,421
What do you remember
about the evening
837
00:35:19,421 --> 00:35:21,119
you killed Jerome Elliot?
838
00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:24,948
I remember feeling...
839
00:35:24,948 --> 00:35:28,604
this incredible anger.
840
00:35:28,604 --> 00:35:31,303
And my heart
started racing like--
841
00:35:31,303 --> 00:35:33,479
like I was in danger.
842
00:35:35,307 --> 00:35:37,700
It's--it's hard to describe.
843
00:35:37,700 --> 00:35:39,572
Because you were
worried about Sophia?
844
00:35:39,572 --> 00:35:41,139
Yeah.
845
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:44,838
I kept thinking...
846
00:35:44,838 --> 00:35:47,406
he was gonna kill her.
847
00:35:47,406 --> 00:35:48,798
And then...
848
00:35:51,366 --> 00:35:54,108
I blacked out.
849
00:35:54,108 --> 00:35:56,806
I don't even remember
walking to East River Park.
850
00:35:56,806 --> 00:35:58,547
I...
851
00:35:58,547 --> 00:36:01,724
I just remember
standing there...
852
00:36:01,724 --> 00:36:03,857
over Mr. Elliot's body
with my tennis racket.
853
00:36:03,857 --> 00:36:08,557
And...
854
00:36:08,557 --> 00:36:10,733
he was...
855
00:36:10,733 --> 00:36:12,257
He was dead.
856
00:36:14,781 --> 00:36:17,262
I'm so sorry.
857
00:36:20,308 --> 00:36:22,441
I'm so sorry.
858
00:36:25,313 --> 00:36:27,359
Nothing further.
859
00:36:27,359 --> 00:36:28,882
Mr. Price.
860
00:36:34,844 --> 00:36:37,238
Mr. Cole, do you recall
861
00:36:37,238 --> 00:36:40,241
secretly manipulating
the GPS data
862
00:36:40,241 --> 00:36:42,156
on Jerome
and Sophia Elliot's phones
863
00:36:42,156 --> 00:36:43,897
three weeks prior
to the retreat?
864
00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:47,857
Yes, I'm ashamed of that.
865
00:36:47,857 --> 00:36:49,859
Oh,
but you did it anyway, right?
866
00:36:49,859 --> 00:36:51,339
So you could stalk Sophia
867
00:36:51,339 --> 00:36:54,734
and make sure she wasn't
cheating on you, right?
868
00:36:54,734 --> 00:36:55,648
Yes.
869
00:36:55,648 --> 00:36:57,127
The day after the retreat,
870
00:36:57,127 --> 00:36:59,739
do you remember
picking out your tennis racket,
871
00:36:59,739 --> 00:37:02,350
then tracking down Mr. Elliot
in East River Park,
872
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:05,223
and striking him
repeatedly in the head
873
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:06,702
until he was dead?
- No.
874
00:37:06,702 --> 00:37:08,965
You then hid
that tennis racket
875
00:37:08,965 --> 00:37:11,054
in a vacant lot
near your apartment
876
00:37:11,054 --> 00:37:12,360
so no one could find it.
877
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,754
I don't remember any of that.
I swear.
878
00:37:14,754 --> 00:37:18,714
The truth is, you executed
a careful and methodical plan
879
00:37:18,714 --> 00:37:22,196
to kill the father of a girl
you loved to impress her.
880
00:37:22,196 --> 00:37:24,111
Objection.
Counsel's testifying.
881
00:37:24,111 --> 00:37:25,678
Sustained.
882
00:37:25,678 --> 00:37:27,245
You set out
to kill Jerome Elliot
883
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:29,072
and you succeeded, correct?
884
00:37:29,072 --> 00:37:30,248
I don't--
885
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:31,292
I don't remember any of that.
886
00:37:31,292 --> 00:37:32,728
I swear.
887
00:37:34,295 --> 00:37:36,428
Sophia, I love you.
888
00:37:36,428 --> 00:37:38,734
I thought
your dad was going to kill you.
889
00:37:38,734 --> 00:37:41,650
I was just trying
to do the right thing.
890
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:43,130
That's enough.
We're adjourned.
891
00:37:48,788 --> 00:37:51,486
Thought you said
you were gonna tread lightly?
892
00:37:51,486 --> 00:37:53,401
Well, he's a better liar
than I thought.
893
00:37:53,401 --> 00:37:56,056
Why, was I--
was I too aggressive?
894
00:37:56,056 --> 00:37:58,885
Definitely weren't timid.
895
00:37:58,885 --> 00:38:01,017
I needed to establish
his state of mind,
896
00:38:01,017 --> 00:38:03,324
that he knew right from wrong
897
00:38:03,324 --> 00:38:05,587
and that he made
all kinds of logical choices
898
00:38:05,587 --> 00:38:08,068
and decisions that evening.
899
00:38:08,068 --> 00:38:11,419
Hey.
Got a second?
900
00:38:11,419 --> 00:38:13,378
I wanna discuss a plea.
901
00:38:13,378 --> 00:38:16,076
Something that's fair
to all parties concerned.
902
00:38:16,076 --> 00:38:18,905
If it were only that easy.
903
00:38:18,905 --> 00:38:21,473
How's man one sound?
Ten years.
904
00:38:22,952 --> 00:38:25,477
Come on, Nolan.
You know that's fair.
905
00:38:25,477 --> 00:38:27,305
Whether or not
my client is actually insane,
906
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,176
it is clear
that he's emotionally
907
00:38:29,176 --> 00:38:30,438
and psychologically unstable.
908
00:38:30,438 --> 00:38:33,833
And he is incredibly immature.
909
00:38:33,833 --> 00:38:36,314
And he killed a 53-year-old
man with a tennis racket.
910
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:39,055
What he did was horrific,
I get it.
911
00:38:39,055 --> 00:38:40,796
But he's just a boy.
912
00:38:40,796 --> 00:38:44,539
And there's no way
he deserves to rot in prison.
913
00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:49,675
I will wait for your call.
914
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:54,070
The evidence is strong, right?
915
00:38:54,070 --> 00:38:57,987
Hell, the Defense admits
Aaron killed Jerome Elliot.
916
00:38:57,987 --> 00:38:59,424
The only question is,
917
00:38:59,424 --> 00:39:02,340
does the jury buy this
ridiculous insanity defense?
918
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:04,385
No, the only question is,
919
00:39:04,385 --> 00:39:06,561
will they blame
Cromwell Academy
920
00:39:06,561 --> 00:39:09,825
more than young,
lovesick Aaron Cole?
921
00:39:09,825 --> 00:39:11,349
They might.
922
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:15,657
Like I said before, he is
a screwed up, sympathetic kid.
923
00:39:15,657 --> 00:39:17,833
What's your point?
924
00:39:17,833 --> 00:39:20,575
Maybe it's time
we acknowledge he's just 17.
925
00:39:20,575 --> 00:39:23,665
We're trying him
as an adult, Nolan.
926
00:39:23,665 --> 00:39:25,493
We made that decision already.
927
00:39:25,493 --> 00:39:27,365
You mean,
you made that decision.
928
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:29,584
I damn well did.
929
00:39:32,065 --> 00:39:34,676
For what it's worth,
I agree with Jack.
930
00:39:34,676 --> 00:39:37,984
The kid who killed my sister
was just 17 too.
931
00:39:37,984 --> 00:39:39,594
Didn't make it
any less horrible
932
00:39:39,594 --> 00:39:42,641
and didn't make her
any less dead.
933
00:39:42,641 --> 00:39:45,731
Now, you always say
that we can't rewrite the law
934
00:39:45,731 --> 00:39:48,908
every time we have empathy
for a defendant.
935
00:39:54,566 --> 00:39:57,395
I'll call Whitmer.
936
00:40:02,878 --> 00:40:05,054
On the sole charge of murder
in the second degree,
937
00:40:05,054 --> 00:40:06,099
how do you find?
938
00:40:08,188 --> 00:40:10,408
We find the defendant...
939
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:11,452
guilty.
940
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:12,845
No!
941
00:40:12,845 --> 00:40:14,412
We thank you
for your service.
942
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,326
We're adjourned.
943
00:40:16,326 --> 00:40:18,198
No, I--
944
00:40:18,198 --> 00:40:19,895
Please, no.
945
00:40:19,895 --> 00:40:22,420
No!
946
00:40:22,420 --> 00:40:24,334
No, please.
947
00:40:24,334 --> 00:40:26,249
No!
948
00:40:26,249 --> 00:40:29,644
Mom? Dad?
949
00:40:49,664 --> 00:40:52,406
How's she doing?
950
00:41:08,683 --> 00:41:11,251
I love you, kid.
