express my feelings to him.
149

So where'd you go after that?
152
00:06:47,196 --> 00:06:49,656
Well, my girlfriend got pissed
153
00:06:49,657 --> 00:06:50,741
that I tried to beat him up,

00:06:50,742 --> 00:06:51,742
thought I was just gonna threaten him.
155
00:06:51,743 --> 00:06:53,702
So she took off,
156
00:06:53,703 --> 00:06:55,704
and I kept drinking.
157
00:06:55,705 --> 00:06:58,165

you followed Jonah home

no hit in the system.

But DNA confirms we're
looking for a woman, Caucasian,

171
00:07:28,112 --> 00:07:30,614

175
00:07:36,162 --> 00:07:38,080
Turns out she didn't get
a dime in the divorce.
176
00:07:38,081 --> 00:07:39,748
I thought she was in London?
177
00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:42,042

currently in New York.

No. We had rules.

00:21:51,945 --> 00:21:53,779
for whatever's inside after the fact.
537
00:21:53,780 --> 00:21:56,448
And the Supreme Court
ruled in Riley v California
538
00:21:56,449 --> 00:21:58,367
that the content of digital devices
539
00:21:58,368 --> 00:22:00,202
is protected by the Fourth Amendment,
540
00:22:00,203 --> 00:22:04,456
making all evidence stemming from
Jessica Reese's phone inadmissible.
541
00:22:04,457 --> 00:22:06,375
Your Honor, we're
talking about excluding
542
00:22:06,376 --> 00:22:08,919
the most vital piece
of evidence in this case
543
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,715
because of a harmless
three-second mistake.
544
00:22:12,716 --> 00:22:15,509
? ?
545
00:22:15,510 --> 00:22:18,470
Harmless or not, it was a mistake.
546
00:22:18,471 --> 00:22:20,432
The defense's motion is granted.
547
00:22:24,808 --> 00:22:26,001
Hey.
548
00:22:26,002 --> 00:22:27,688
Just got off with the bank in Panama
549
00:22:27,689 --> 00:22:29,648
where Reese wired the money.
550
00:22:29,649 --> 00:22:32,985
They're refusing to honor our subpoena.
551
00:22:32,986 --> 00:22:35,988
So there's no way to tie
Reese to the stolen money.
552
00:22:35,989 --> 00:22:39,325
Which means we have
no way to prove motive.
553
00:22:39,326 --> 00:22:40,660
So what's your plan?
554
00:22:44,956 --> 00:22:48,500
Oh, we go hard on opportunity,
555
00:22:48,501 --> 00:22:52,120
make it clear to the jury
that Reese is the only person
556
00:22:52,121 --> 00:22:55,011
who realistically could have
killed Barlowe that night.
557
00:23:02,223 --> 00:23:03,725
Your call.
558
00:23:12,609 --> 00:23:15,235
Detective Riley,
according to the crime lab,
559
00:23:15,236 --> 00:23:18,530
the defendant's DNA
matches the blonde hair
560
00:23:18,531 --> 00:23:20,366
found on Jonah Barlowe's body?
561
00:23:20,367 --> 00:23:21,617
That's correct.
562
00:23:21,618 --> 00:23:23,494
What about the defendant's
cell phone data?
563
00:23:23,495 --> 00:23:25,871
Were You able to
triangulate her location
564
00:23:25,872 --> 00:23:28,707
around midnight when
Jonah Barlowe was killed?
565
00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:31,042
Yes, her cell phone pings placed her
566
00:23:31,043 --> 00:23:34,380
in the immediate vicinity
of the apartment at the time.
567
00:23:34,381 --> 00:23:35,422
Thank you.
568
00:23:35,423 --> 00:23:36,633
No further questions.
569
00:23:38,259 --> 00:23:40,052
Detective, is there any way
570
00:23:40,053 --> 00:23:43,222
for you to ascertain
when my client's hair
571
00:23:43,223 --> 00:23:45,474
got on Jonah Barlowe's sleeve?
572
00:23:45,475 --> 00:23:46,934
No.
573
00:23:46,935 --> 00:23:49,603
Presumably that day, since
it was on his clothing.
574
00:23:49,604 --> 00:23:52,106
Perhaps it was on his couch
575
00:23:52,107 --> 00:23:54,233
or when she was in his
apartment days earlier
576
00:23:54,234 --> 00:23:58,404
and transferred onto his sleeve
at some point that evening.
577
00:23:58,405 --> 00:24:00,155
That's just as possible?
578
00:24:00,156 --> 00:24:02,116
I don't know if it's just as possible,
579
00:24:02,117 --> 00:24:04,535
but it's possible, yes.
580
00:24:04,536 --> 00:24:07,663
And these cell phone
pings, as you call them,
581
00:24:07,664 --> 00:24:10,541
how geographically accurate are they?
582
00:24:10,542 --> 00:24:13,419
In a range of about ten city blocks.
583
00:24:13,420 --> 00:24:16,547
So if Ms. Reese was getting takeout
584
00:24:16,548 --> 00:24:18,882
from her favorite Thai
restaurant that night,
585
00:24:18,883 --> 00:24:22,094
eight blocks from Jonah
Barlowe's apartment,
586
00:24:22,095 --> 00:24:24,763
that could account for
the data you testified to.
587
00:24:24,764 --> 00:24:26,473
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
588
00:24:26,474 --> 00:24:28,100
Midnight's a little late for dinner.
589
00:24:28,101 --> 00:24:31,687
Detective, were you aware
that prior to his relationship
590
00:24:31,688 --> 00:24:34,273
with my client, Jonah
Barlowe had been seeing
591
00:24:34,274 --> 00:24:35,941
a woman named Melissa James?
592
00:24:35,942 --> 00:24:37,192
Yes.
593
00:24:37,193 --> 00:24:39,570
And are you aware
that, unlike my client,
594
00:24:39,571 --> 00:24:42,740
Melissa James had a
sadomasochistic relationship
595
00:24:42,741 --> 00:24:44,617
with Jonah Barlowe
596
00:24:44,618 --> 00:24:47,661
that involved torture
and physical abuse?
597
00:24:47,662 --> 00:24:50,164
Ms. James was transparent and forthright
598
00:24:50,165 --> 00:24:51,790
about the nature of their relationship.
599
00:24:51,791 --> 00:24:54,543
So she admitted to being his dominatrix,
600
00:24:54,544 --> 00:24:55,961
the torturing and the battering?
601
00:24:55,962 --> 00:24:57,379
We only discussed their sex life
602
00:24:57,380 --> 00:24:58,756
as it pertains to the case.
603
00:24:58,757 --> 00:25:00,883
And more importantly,
we confirmed her alibi.
604
00:25:00,884 --> 00:25:03,636
Ms. James did not kill Mr. Barlowe.
605
00:25:03,637 --> 00:25:06,555
But it's clear Mr. Barlowe liked
606
00:25:06,556 --> 00:25:09,433
to engage in risky sexual behavior
607
00:25:09,434 --> 00:25:11,143
with strangers he met online.
608
00:25:11,144 --> 00:25:12,853
Objection.
609
00:25:12,854 --> 00:25:16,523
Ask a question, Mr. Banks, or sit down.
610
00:25:16,524 --> 00:25:17,733
Nothing further, Your Honor.
611
00:25:17,734 --> 00:25:24,573
? ?
612
00:25:24,574 --> 00:25:26,200
This is ridiculous.
613
00:25:26,201 --> 00:25:28,327
They're turning Jonah
into some sort of freak.
614
00:25:28,328 --> 00:25:29,703
He's the victim here.
615
00:25:29,704 --> 00:25:30,955
I understand.
616
00:25:30,956 --> 00:25:34,166
We are doing the best we can.
617
00:25:34,167 --> 00:25:35,542
He wasn't perfect,
618
00:25:35,543 --> 00:25:37,795
but he was a good
man, a really good man.
619
00:25:37,796 --> 00:25:40,381
And that monster in there,
620
00:25:40,382 --> 00:25:43,509
she exploited his kindness
and his insecurities.
621
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:46,845
Like Nolan just said, we
are doing the best we can
622
00:25:46,846 --> 00:25:48,556
to get justice for Jonah.
623
00:25:50,225 --> 00:25:51,768
Thank you.
624
00:25:54,187 --> 00:25:55,938
She's right, you know.
625
00:25:55,939 --> 00:25:58,524
Reese saw that Barlowe was vulnerable
626
00:25:58,525 --> 00:26:00,234
and spun him upside down.
627
00:26:00,235 --> 00:26:01,902
It's obviously her MO...
628
00:26:01,903 --> 00:26:04,571
find vulnerable men, get
access to their money,
629

- and then steal it.
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.
630
00:26:07,909 --> 00:26:11,036
So let's find these guys,

the other vulnerable
dupes she exploited.
632
00:26:14,874 --> 00:26:17,375
We can establish a pattern of behavior
633
00:26:17,376 --> 00:26:19,878
which will give us motive.
634
00:26:19,879 --> 00:26:22,340
I'm gonna look into Reese's financials.
635
00:26:26,094 --> 00:26:28,554
I'm not sure how I can help you.
636
00:26:28,555 --> 00:26:30,264
Um, Mr. Parker,
637
00:26:30,265 --> 00:26:36,770
from November of 2022
to June of last year,
638
00:26:36,771 --> 00:26:39,481
you were depositing
several thousand dollars
639
00:26:39,482 --> 00:26:43,527
into Jessica Reese's bank
account on a monthly basis.
640
00:26:43,528 --> 00:26:44,945
Yeah, she was...
641
00:26:44,946 --> 00:26:46,614
she did some consulting work for me.
642
00:26:46,615 --> 00:26:48,616
In what capacity?
643
00:26:48,617 --> 00:26:50,618
I'm sorry. What is this about?
644
00:26:50,619 --> 00:26:53,829
We've noticed that
your last payment to her
645
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:56,206
was a significantly larger sum,
646
00:26:56,207 --> 00:26:58,709
and you never sent her
money again after that.
647
00:26:58,710 --> 00:27:00,544
Right, well, the project
648
00:27:00,545 --> 00:27:03,255
that she was helping me with
ended earlier than I expected,
649
00:27:03,256 --> 00:27:06,842
so I paid her out for
the rest of her contract.
650
00:27:06,843 --> 00:27:09,763
Would it be possible for
me to look at that contract?
651
00:27:13,099 --> 00:27:15,434
What do you want from me?
652
00:27:15,435 --> 00:27:16,518
Mr. Parker...
653
00:27:16,519 --> 00:27:17,979

654
00:27:20,857 --> 00:27:23,943

655
00:27:26,529 --> 00:27:33,662
? ?
656
00:27:35,038 --> 00:27:37,122
I said
657
00:27:37,123 --> 00:27:41,043
and did things with her that...
658
00:27:41,044 --> 00:27:44,088
you know.
659
00:27:44,089 --> 00:27:46,340
And then she showed me
all these screen grabs
660
00:27:46,341 --> 00:27:49,218
she had taken of our text messages.
661
00:27:49,219 --> 00:27:52,137
She told me that if I
didn't give her $50,000,
662
00:27:52,138 --> 00:27:55,724
she would send them to everyone
I'm friends with on social media.
663
00:27:55,725 --> 00:27:57,935
My mother is on Facebook.
664
00:27:57,936 --> 00:27:59,938
I didn't have a choice.
665
00:28:02,148 --> 00:28:03,983
I don't expect you to understand.
666
00:28:03,984 --> 00:28:08,153
I don't even know if I understand.
667
00:28:08,154 --> 00:28:10,739
But I've always been
worried about money.
668
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:13,909
It rules my life.
669
00:28:13,910 --> 00:28:18,872
It felt good to give up control
670
00:28:18,873 --> 00:28:21,001

00:28:22,877 --> 00:28:25,462
We need you to testify.

00:28:25,463 --> 00:28:27,589
No. No. No, no, I can't.
673
00:28:27,590 --> 00:28:29,049
Then everyone will know that...
674
00:28:29,050 --> 00:28:32,219

involves pleading guilty

00:39:46,358 --> 00:39:49,360
We don't know each other,
896
00:39:49,361 --> 00:39:55,199
but you should know that I
take this job very seriously.
897
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,786
And I feel the weight
each and every trial,
898
00:39:58,787 --> 00:40:01,163
and I try my hardest
899
00:40:01,164 --> 00:40:03,874
to do what is in the best
interests of the victim.
900
00:40:03,875 --> 00:40:05,210
Always.
901
00:40:12,301 --> 00:40:14,636
But if that isn't good enough...

00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,393
Are you tendering your resignation?
904
00:40:22,394 --> 00:40:25,272
I'm just telling you who I am.
905
00:40:28,900 --> 00:40:31,027
I'll see you tomorrow, Nolan.
906
00:40:31,028 --> 00:40:38,201
? ?
