1
00:00:00,096 --> 00:00:02,014
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:02,098 --> 00:00:03,363
the people are represented
3
00:00:03,447 --> 00:00:05,756
by two separate yet equally
important groups:
4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,671
The police,
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:07,755 --> 00:00:10,544
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:10,628 --> 00:00:12,412
These are
their stories.
7
00:00:13,544 --> 00:00:16,202
I'll say this one last time.
8
00:00:16,286 --> 00:00:18,030
I'm innocent.
9
00:00:18,114 --> 00:00:20,119
So all the allegations
against you...
10
00:00:20,203 --> 00:00:21,770
Are false.
11
00:00:22,379 --> 00:00:26,995
Diane, I spent 3 years,
2 months, and 11 days in prison
12
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:29,302
for a crime
that I did not commit.
13
00:00:29,386 --> 00:00:31,304
Like many people of color,
14
00:00:31,388 --> 00:00:34,864
I was wrongfully charged,
and wrongfully convicted.
15
00:00:36,784 --> 00:00:41,700
I have never had non-consensual
sex with anyone ever.
16
00:00:43,052 --> 00:00:46,275
My mission in life is to make
sure that those responsible
17
00:00:46,359 --> 00:00:50,062
for this travesty of justice
are held accountable.
18
00:00:50,146 --> 00:00:51,846
Then, and only then,
can we begin a path
19
00:00:51,930 --> 00:00:55,812
towards a more enlightened
and racially just society.
20
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:02,161
What do we got?
21
00:01:02,245 --> 00:01:03,727
Young couple
starts fooling around,
22
00:01:03,811 --> 00:01:05,294
walks down the stairs
to have sex...
23
00:01:05,378 --> 00:01:07,079
Their words, not mine...
24
00:01:07,163 --> 00:01:09,037
Until they see
the dead guy bleeding out.
25
00:01:09,121 --> 00:01:11,754
Over here.
Name's Henry King.
26
00:01:12,559 --> 00:01:15,522
- The singer?
- Among other things.
27
00:01:15,606 --> 00:01:18,177
Five gunshot wounds,
.380 shell casings.
28
00:01:18,261 --> 00:01:20,092
Four to the chest,
one to the groin.
29
00:01:20,176 --> 00:01:21,745
Doesn't look
like a robbery either.
30
00:01:21,829 --> 00:01:25,271
Wallet's still in his pocket,
watch is still on his wrist.
31
00:01:25,355 --> 00:01:27,577
The over-under on this guy
was nine months.
32
00:01:27,661 --> 00:01:29,840
I get it, but...
33
00:01:30,186 --> 00:01:31,864
But what?
34
00:01:33,011 --> 00:01:35,362
Every victim
deserves respect...
35
00:01:36,856 --> 00:01:39,719
Even the ones
that rape 40 women.
36
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,882
*LAW & ORDER*
Season 21 Episode 01
37
00:02:24,342 --> 00:02:26,944
Episode Title: "The Right Thing"
Aired on: February 24, 2022.
38
00:02:34,119 --> 00:02:38,561
Henry was trying so hard to
reclaim his life, his dignity.
39
00:02:38,645 --> 00:02:40,650
Mrs. King,
where were you tonight
40
00:02:40,734 --> 00:02:42,435
between the hours
of 9:00 and 11:00?
41
00:02:42,519 --> 00:02:46,439
I had dinner with a few
friends at a place called Orto,
42
00:02:46,523 --> 00:02:48,049
on 86th and Columbus.
43
00:02:48,133 --> 00:02:49,746
And when did you return?
44
00:02:49,830 --> 00:02:51,444
About 10:45.
45
00:02:51,528 --> 00:02:52,836
You know,
I noticed a bunch
46
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,360
of surveillance cameras
around here.
47
00:02:54,444 --> 00:02:56,405
We may need to see the video,
if that's okay.
48
00:02:56,489 --> 00:02:57,711
That's not possible.
49
00:02:57,795 --> 00:03:00,453
I haven't activated
the system for years.
50
00:03:00,537 --> 00:03:02,194
Your husband's
one of the most hated men
51
00:03:02,278 --> 00:03:04,370
in America and you
don't turn on the alarm?
52
00:03:04,454 --> 00:03:07,068
I'm from Banner Elk,
North Carolina.
53
00:03:07,152 --> 00:03:09,026
Barely a thousand people.
54
00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:11,681
We never even think
of locking the front door.
55
00:03:11,765 --> 00:03:15,294
With all due respect, you're
a long way from Banner Elk.
56
00:03:15,378 --> 00:03:17,470
Since your husband
was released from prison,
57
00:03:17,554 --> 00:03:18,993
have there been any problems?
58
00:03:19,084 --> 00:03:22,207
Have you noticed
anything unusual?
59
00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:27,035
How about the women
who accused him of rape?
60
00:03:27,262 --> 00:03:30,178
Have any of them reached out
to express their...
61
00:03:30,262 --> 00:03:32,224
opinions on the recent
court ruling?
62
00:03:32,308 --> 00:03:33,921
No.
63
00:03:34,005 --> 00:03:35,792
Not that I'm aware of, anyway.
64
00:03:35,876 --> 00:03:37,838
When was the last time
you spoke with your husband?
65
00:03:37,922 --> 00:03:42,525
About four hours ago,
after he did that interview.
66
00:03:45,277 --> 00:03:46,677
I just got off
with the Chief.
67
00:03:46,762 --> 00:03:48,849
Before that, the Mayor.
Before that, the District Attorney.
68
00:03:48,933 --> 00:03:51,243
Oh, first time in 20 years
people actually care
69
00:03:51,327 --> 00:03:52,679
about a Black man
getting shot.
70
00:03:52,763 --> 00:03:54,376
That's funny.
If it was a joke.
71
00:03:54,460 --> 00:03:56,204
If not, you can save
your speech for someone else,
72
00:03:56,288 --> 00:03:59,076
because I am not in the mood
for politics right now.
73
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,556
Music to my ears.
74
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,689
And why is that, Frank?
75
00:04:02,773 --> 00:04:04,343
- Excuse me?
- Hey, hey,
76
00:04:04,427 --> 00:04:06,301
we have a murder to solve,
77
00:04:06,385 --> 00:04:08,121
a murder that's the lead
of every news channel,
78
00:04:08,205 --> 00:04:09,254
the headline of every paper.
79
00:04:09,338 --> 00:04:10,760
So call me crazy,
80
00:04:10,845 --> 00:04:12,699
but maybe we should focus
on that right now.
81
00:04:12,783 --> 00:04:15,571
Just found a text on King's
phone, sent two days ago.
82
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:18,169
It says, "It's over.
I'm coming for you."
83
00:04:24,490 --> 00:04:25,668
Damn right
I sent that text,
84
00:04:25,752 --> 00:04:27,322
but I was threatening
his career,
85
00:04:27,406 --> 00:04:29,281
- not his life.
- What do you mean?
86
00:04:29,365 --> 00:04:31,108
I stood by Henry
year after year,
87
00:04:31,192 --> 00:04:32,675
despite all the allegations.
88
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:34,547
Then he fires me,
three days ago,
89
00:04:34,631 --> 00:04:37,071
just as we're about to close
a $50 million deal
90
00:04:37,155 --> 00:04:39,029
with some podcast company.
91
00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:40,335
Son of a bitch
92
00:04:40,419 --> 00:04:42,381
was trying to screw me
out of my commission.
93
00:04:42,465 --> 00:04:44,992
After all I did
for that two-faced prick.
94
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:47,603
I even had to beg the CEO
just to meet with the guy.
95
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,562
That's a $5 million
commission.
96
00:04:49,646 --> 00:04:51,477
Oh, please,
I didn't shoot Henry.
97
00:04:51,561 --> 00:04:53,305
Oh, I believe you.
I mean, you're an agent.
98
00:04:53,389 --> 00:04:54,759
What's more honorable
than that?
99
00:04:54,844 --> 00:04:57,151
Unfortunately, some of my
colleagues aren't as trusting,
100
00:04:57,236 --> 00:04:59,572
- so...
- I was home in Westport.
101
00:04:59,656 --> 00:05:01,835
Had dinner with my wife.
102
00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:04,881
- It was our anniversary.
- Hmm.
103
00:05:04,965 --> 00:05:07,232
Can you think of anyone else
that may have had
104
00:05:07,316 --> 00:05:09,625
a serious grudge
against Mr. King?
105
00:05:09,709 --> 00:05:12,585
I can think of thousands,
but I'm not aware
106
00:05:12,669 --> 00:05:15,109
of any specific threats
or anything like that.
107
00:05:15,193 --> 00:05:16,458
Did he owe anyone money?
108
00:05:16,542 --> 00:05:17,938
Half the city.
109
00:05:18,022 --> 00:05:20,157
Henry was the cheapest
son of a bitch on earth.
110
00:05:20,241 --> 00:05:22,899
Joke was, only reason
he roofied those girls
111
00:05:22,983 --> 00:05:25,323
was cause he was too cheap
to pick up dinner.
112
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:29,602
Are any of those people
capable of murder?
113
00:05:29,686 --> 00:05:32,953
Eh, he told me
some gangbanger was
114
00:05:33,037 --> 00:05:36,043
shaking him down
for a lot of money.
115
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:39,916
Did he happen to name
this gangbanger?
116
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,137
Hey, hey, how you doing?
117
00:05:43,221 --> 00:05:45,835
We're looking for a guy
named Shabazz Walker, seen him?
118
00:05:45,919 --> 00:05:46,967
Yeah, a'ight...
119
00:05:47,051 --> 00:05:48,664
Yo, yo, I'm not done
talking to you...
120
00:05:48,748 --> 00:05:51,363
- Yo, kiss my ass!
- What you say to me?
121
00:05:51,447 --> 00:05:52,625
- Hey, hey, Frank.
- What you gonna do, man?
122
00:05:52,709 --> 00:05:53,713
- What you say to me?
- Frank!
123
00:05:53,797 --> 00:05:54,627
It's not
your neighborhood, man.
124
00:05:54,711 --> 00:05:56,106
We're good.
We're good.
125
00:05:56,190 --> 00:05:57,673
Watch your boy, man.
126
00:05:57,757 --> 00:06:00,415
- Come on.
- Are you kiddin' me?
127
00:06:00,499 --> 00:06:02,417
These young kids,
they got no respect.
128
00:06:02,501 --> 00:06:04,112
They get to say
and do whatever they want.
129
00:06:04,196 --> 00:06:05,220
It's like a free pass.
130
00:06:05,305 --> 00:06:06,813
Not sure
what you mean by that.
131
00:06:06,897 --> 00:06:08,989
Uh, I mean,
I'm white, he's Black.
132
00:06:09,073 --> 00:06:11,557
I say the wrong thing
and my career's over.
133
00:06:11,641 --> 00:06:13,060
- Yeah, maybe.
- Maybe?
134
00:06:13,145 --> 00:06:14,138
Is there another
way of looking at this?
135
00:06:14,223 --> 00:06:16,344
Hey, Frank,
you came at him hot, man.
136
00:06:16,428 --> 00:06:18,955
I showed him my badge
and I said, "How you doing?"
137
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:20,479
How's that's
coming off hot?
138
00:06:20,563 --> 00:06:21,958
Should I have offered him
a croissant
139
00:06:22,042 --> 00:06:24,004
and invited him to tea
at the St. Regis?
140
00:06:24,088 --> 00:06:25,962
Maybe you should
have treated him a little...
141
00:06:26,046 --> 00:06:27,268
more polite.
142
00:06:27,352 --> 00:06:28,574
Like a law-abiding citizen,
143
00:06:28,658 --> 00:06:30,053
minding his own damn business.
144
00:06:30,137 --> 00:06:31,664
Truth is
it's these damn phones.
145
00:06:31,748 --> 00:06:33,883
They... they've
ruined everything.
146
00:06:33,967 --> 00:06:34,971
Yeah, okay.
147
00:06:35,055 --> 00:06:36,582
That's one way
of looking at it.
148
00:06:36,666 --> 00:06:39,789
- The other?
- They hold us accountable.
149
00:06:41,148 --> 00:06:43,850
Look, Kev, I know we haven't
been working together
150
00:06:43,934 --> 00:06:45,547
- for very long, but...
- Two months.
151
00:06:45,631 --> 00:06:47,157
Which makes you
the longest relationship
152
00:06:47,241 --> 00:06:48,594
I've had in the last six years.
153
00:06:48,678 --> 00:06:50,596
Yeah, well, if we're
gonna keep this thing going,
154
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,032
you gotta know
something about me.
155
00:06:52,116 --> 00:06:53,512
Hmm?
156
00:06:53,596 --> 00:06:55,340
I speak my mind,
157
00:06:55,424 --> 00:06:57,820
probably about things I
shouldn't speak my mind about.
158
00:06:57,904 --> 00:07:00,170
- But it's just how I'm wired.
- Oh, I've sensed that.
159
00:07:00,254 --> 00:07:02,521
But do you.
160
00:07:02,605 --> 00:07:04,683
Speak your truth.
161
00:07:06,478 --> 00:07:07,874
I appreciate that.
162
00:07:07,958 --> 00:07:09,876
And that statement you
made about cameras
163
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,648
- holding us accountable...
- Mm-hmm.
164
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,492
I actually agree with you.
165
00:07:20,274 --> 00:07:22,454
Shabazz!
166
00:07:22,538 --> 00:07:25,021
Hey!
167
00:07:25,105 --> 00:07:26,675
Every dude in that joint
wanted
168
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:29,112
to bust Henry King's head
wide open.
169
00:07:29,196 --> 00:07:31,376
So my brother Donyell
and his crew took care of him.
170
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:33,726
- Kept his ass alive.
- For a fee?
171
00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:35,728
Hundred grand a year
for life,
172
00:07:35,812 --> 00:07:38,078
whether or not
he was on the inside.
173
00:07:38,162 --> 00:07:40,646
But once Henry got sprung,
he didn't wanna pay.
174
00:07:40,730 --> 00:07:42,691
It's not unreasonable.
175
00:07:42,775 --> 00:07:45,912
A deal's a deal,
whether or not it's reasonable.
176
00:07:45,996 --> 00:07:48,175
Did you talk
to Henry King about this?
177
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:50,873
Yeah.
He laughed at me.
178
00:07:50,957 --> 00:07:52,788
So I slammed his ass
into a wall.
179
00:07:52,872 --> 00:07:54,703
Then some bodyguard
comes running up,
180
00:07:54,787 --> 00:07:56,662
breaks things up,
and then pulls out his Glock.
181
00:07:56,746 --> 00:07:59,360
Oh, now I'm intrigued.
182
00:07:59,444 --> 00:08:00,709
What happened next?
183
00:08:00,793 --> 00:08:02,581
Told him we needed
to work out an arrangement.
184
00:08:02,665 --> 00:08:04,626
That's it?
No violence, no threats?
185
00:08:04,710 --> 00:08:07,499
Nah, nothing like that.
I was in a good mood.
186
00:08:07,583 --> 00:08:09,283
Just had a baby boy,
Lamarcus.
187
00:08:09,367 --> 00:08:11,459
Congratulations.
188
00:08:11,543 --> 00:08:13,592
- Mm.
- Just the same.
189
00:08:13,676 --> 00:08:15,463
Where were you
last night, 10:00?
190
00:08:15,547 --> 00:08:17,291
At a bar
in Red Hook called Ray's,
191
00:08:17,375 --> 00:08:20,163
talking to the bodyguard,
trying to work things out.
192
00:08:20,247 --> 00:08:23,819
- You make a deal?
- No, he offered me 50K.
193
00:08:23,903 --> 00:08:26,996
- Told him he can go to hell.
- Dumb move.
194
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,128
Why's that?
195
00:08:28,212 --> 00:08:29,564
King's dead.
196
00:08:29,648 --> 00:08:31,044
For real?
He gone?
197
00:08:31,128 --> 00:08:34,482
Somebody shot him.
198
00:08:34,566 --> 00:08:36,049
I needed that money, man.
199
00:08:36,133 --> 00:08:37,616
Well, unless he named you
in his will,
200
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:39,356
you're out of luck.
201
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,041
We'll be in touch.
202
00:08:45,621 --> 00:08:47,626
Shabazz isn't our guy.
203
00:08:47,710 --> 00:08:48,975
I talked to the bodyguard,
confirmed
204
00:08:49,059 --> 00:08:50,542
the meeting at
the bar in Red Hook.
205
00:08:50,626 --> 00:08:52,021
Did he say anything else?
206
00:08:52,105 --> 00:08:53,980
Witness any other altercations?
207
00:08:54,064 --> 00:08:56,156
He said King got into
an argument with a woman
208
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,854
three days ago, on White
Street, just west of Baxter.
209
00:08:58,938 --> 00:09:00,290
One of the rape victims?
210
00:09:00,374 --> 00:09:02,423
- He wasn't sure.
- Hmm.
211
00:09:02,507 --> 00:09:04,512
Hey, I got it.
212
00:09:04,596 --> 00:09:06,196
Come check it out.
213
00:09:08,774 --> 00:09:12,071
Look at this.
214
00:09:13,257 --> 00:09:14,609
Can you punch in
on that woman?
215
00:09:14,693 --> 00:09:16,089
Mm-hmm.
216
00:09:16,173 --> 00:09:18,178
You know,
I'll run this through ECMS
217
00:09:18,262 --> 00:09:20,485
and request facial
recognition to rush it.
218
00:09:20,569 --> 00:09:23,096
No need.
I know her.
219
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:26,042
She's a prosecutor.
Her name's Jamie Ross.
220
00:09:31,101 --> 00:09:32,540
Henry King's been
harassing me
221
00:09:32,624 --> 00:09:33,802
since he was
released from prison.
222
00:09:33,886 --> 00:09:35,674
Blames me
for ruining his life.
223
00:09:35,758 --> 00:09:37,850
Hmm.
Why you?
224
00:09:37,934 --> 00:09:39,939
I was the lead prosecutor
on his rape trial.
225
00:09:40,023 --> 00:09:41,593
I was also the one who
made the original promise
226
00:09:41,677 --> 00:09:43,203
- not to prosecute him.
- Hmm.
227
00:09:43,287 --> 00:09:45,466
At the time, there was
only one victim, Nicole.
228
00:09:45,550 --> 00:09:47,599
And it was a tough case;
There wasn't a lot of evidence.
229
00:09:47,683 --> 00:09:48,904
So Nicole sued him.
230
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:50,776
But Henry refused to testify.
231
00:09:50,860 --> 00:09:53,126
So I offered him immunity
for that one case,
232
00:09:53,210 --> 00:09:54,867
so that Nicole's lawyer
could depose him.
233
00:09:54,951 --> 00:09:56,564
So you're the reason
he went to prison
234
00:09:56,648 --> 00:09:59,306
and the reason
he was released.
235
00:09:59,390 --> 00:10:01,613
Something like that.
236
00:10:01,697 --> 00:10:03,528
Once the lawsuit was settled,
237
00:10:03,612 --> 00:10:04,790
the evidence
just kept pouring in,
238
00:10:04,874 --> 00:10:06,879
woman after woman
talking about being drugged
239
00:10:06,963 --> 00:10:08,707
and raped and sodomized.
240
00:10:08,791 --> 00:10:10,230
And none of the cases
was perfect,
241
00:10:10,314 --> 00:10:12,345
but it was clear that
Henry King was a predator.
242
00:10:12,430 --> 00:10:13,807
So, I said screw it, let's...
243
00:10:13,892 --> 00:10:16,584
Let's roll the dice
and take this bastard to trial.
244
00:10:16,668 --> 00:10:18,238
And we did.
245
00:10:18,322 --> 00:10:19,456
But as we all know,
246
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,284
the appellate court
vacated the verdict.
247
00:10:21,368 --> 00:10:23,635
Said my promise not
to prosecute was binding.
248
00:10:23,719 --> 00:10:26,115
You screwed up.
249
00:10:26,199 --> 00:10:27,943
I did what I thought
was best at the time.
250
00:10:28,027 --> 00:10:31,077
Why did you and Henry King
meet the other day?
251
00:10:31,161 --> 00:10:34,689
He had a private investigator
digging into my life, my cases.
252
00:10:34,773 --> 00:10:37,953
So I called his lawyer, said I
wanted to resolve the nonsense.
253
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:39,520
But he wasn't interested.
254
00:10:39,604 --> 00:10:40,913
Said he was
going to destroy me,
255
00:10:40,997 --> 00:10:43,611
destroy my family, and I...
256
00:10:43,695 --> 00:10:44,786
I just lost it.
257
00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:46,832
And because of your mistake,
258
00:10:46,916 --> 00:10:48,747
he's walking out of jail
a free man.
259
00:10:51,094 --> 00:10:52,751
What are you really
asking me, Detective?
260
00:10:52,835 --> 00:10:54,100
If I killed Henry King?
261
00:10:54,184 --> 00:10:56,537
Did you?
262
00:10:57,753 --> 00:10:59,453
Get the hell out
of my office.
263
00:11:08,328 --> 00:11:10,820
What the hell was that?
264
00:11:17,294 --> 00:11:19,386
- Thanks.
- Hey!
265
00:11:19,470 --> 00:11:21,693
I just got a call from a friend
at the DA's Office.
266
00:11:21,777 --> 00:11:23,999
- Did you really just...
- Damn right I did.
267
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:25,392
Frank.
268
00:11:25,476 --> 00:11:27,046
She and King
got in a heated argument
269
00:11:27,130 --> 00:11:28,308
three days before the murder.
270
00:11:28,392 --> 00:11:30,876
All right, don't do this.
Not to me.
271
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,747
I'm sick of it, Lou.
All they ever do is question
272
00:11:32,831 --> 00:11:35,271
the way we do our jobs,
our tactics,
273
00:11:35,355 --> 00:11:36,925
our integrity.
274
00:11:37,009 --> 00:11:39,711
It's like their goal is to pull
our pants down at every turn.
275
00:11:39,795 --> 00:11:42,583
I get it, Frank.
But Ross is solid.
276
00:11:42,667 --> 00:11:44,585
She is not
some progressive crusader
277
00:11:44,669 --> 00:11:46,587
trying to get
her name in the paper.
278
00:11:46,671 --> 00:11:49,155
Like it or not,
we're partners with these guys.
279
00:11:49,239 --> 00:11:51,287
So you better stay
above the fray.
280
00:11:51,371 --> 00:11:53,289
Yeah, well,
I'm not so good at that,
281
00:11:53,373 --> 00:11:55,335
especially when it's them
that cause the fray.
282
00:11:55,419 --> 00:11:56,771
Yeah, thanks.
283
00:11:56,855 --> 00:11:59,034
Just got off the phone
with the manager at Orto.
284
00:11:59,118 --> 00:12:01,863
He says Veronica left at 9:24.
285
00:12:01,947 --> 00:12:03,430
He has her on video.
286
00:12:03,514 --> 00:12:05,258
Restaurant is ten blocks
from the brownstone.
287
00:12:05,342 --> 00:12:06,433
That's about
a 12-minute walk.
288
00:12:06,517 --> 00:12:08,522
She should have arrived
around 9:36.
289
00:12:08,606 --> 00:12:10,742
- Not 10:45 like she said.
- Mm-hmm.
290
00:12:10,826 --> 00:12:12,004
Hey, got a hit.
291
00:12:12,088 --> 00:12:13,440
Here's King's wife
on the corner
292
00:12:13,524 --> 00:12:14,876
of 78th and Columbus,
293
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,225
two blocks from her house.
294
00:12:16,309 --> 00:12:18,488
Time stamp says 9:33.
295
00:12:18,572 --> 00:12:20,969
That's 27 minutes
before Henry got popped.
296
00:12:21,053 --> 00:12:23,842
Let's get a search warrant
for her cell sites
297
00:12:23,926 --> 00:12:26,235
and confirm her whereabouts
prior to, during,
298
00:12:26,319 --> 00:12:28,746
- and after the murder.
- Okay, I'm on it.
299
00:12:30,323 --> 00:12:32,067
I didn't lie.
300
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:33,765
I just left out
a few details.
301
00:12:33,849 --> 00:12:34,896
That's what lawyers
would call
302
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:37,246
a distinction
without a difference.
303
00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:38,857
Or the cops might call
a serious red flag.
304
00:12:38,941 --> 00:12:42,121
So your husband is dead,
lying on a concrete floor,
305
00:12:42,205 --> 00:12:44,863
blood everywhere,
and you decide to lie us
306
00:12:44,947 --> 00:12:46,603
about what time
you got home from dinner?
307
00:12:46,687 --> 00:12:48,562
My life was
spinning upside down.
308
00:12:48,646 --> 00:12:50,956
So I kept
a few things to myself.
309
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,785
Care to elaborate?
310
00:12:53,869 --> 00:12:56,439
After dinner,
I started walking home,
311
00:12:56,523 --> 00:12:58,398
but I knew Henry
would still be awake.
312
00:12:58,482 --> 00:13:00,443
And I couldn't bear it.
313
00:13:00,527 --> 00:13:03,142
So I went to a bar
a block away.
314
00:13:03,226 --> 00:13:06,014
Maxwell's.
Had a few drinks.
315
00:13:06,098 --> 00:13:08,408
Helps me cope.
316
00:13:08,492 --> 00:13:11,237
So you were there
when Henry got shot?
317
00:13:11,321 --> 00:13:13,413
Yes,
I was having a martini.
318
00:13:13,497 --> 00:13:15,807
I heard the sirens.
319
00:13:15,891 --> 00:13:19,375
Word started to spread,
people started buzzing around,
320
00:13:19,459 --> 00:13:22,335
like something important
had just happened.
321
00:13:22,419 --> 00:13:25,338
And then I heard
the bartender say,
322
00:13:25,422 --> 00:13:29,081
"Serves the bastard right."
323
00:13:29,165 --> 00:13:31,518
That's when I knew
it was Henry.
324
00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:34,347
Okay, just so we're clear,
325
00:13:34,431 --> 00:13:36,828
- you didn't shoot him?
- Correct.
326
00:13:36,912 --> 00:13:38,351
Did you hire someone
to shoot him?
327
00:13:38,435 --> 00:13:39,700
If I was gonna kill Henry,
328
00:13:39,784 --> 00:13:42,485
I'd want the satisfaction
of seeing him pass
329
00:13:42,569 --> 00:13:44,531
right in front of my eyes.
330
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:46,228
So much
for the grieving widow.
331
00:13:46,312 --> 00:13:48,187
All my grieving
has been reserved
332
00:13:48,271 --> 00:13:50,972
for the women whose lives
Henry destroyed.
333
00:13:51,056 --> 00:13:53,801
I know we asked you this
before, but...
334
00:13:53,885 --> 00:13:57,370
did you notice
anything unusual?
335
00:13:57,454 --> 00:14:01,200
Uh, this is probably nothing,
but I...
336
00:14:01,284 --> 00:14:02,854
did notice someone
hanging out
337
00:14:02,938 --> 00:14:05,247
at the end of the block
a few times.
338
00:14:05,331 --> 00:14:07,032
He had on a hoodie.
339
00:14:07,116 --> 00:14:09,512
Green, I think.
340
00:14:09,596 --> 00:14:13,734
And he was wearing sunglasses
even though it was dark.
341
00:14:13,818 --> 00:14:16,345
It felt odd.
342
00:14:16,429 --> 00:14:18,870
Veronica's telling
the truth about the bar.
343
00:14:18,954 --> 00:14:21,002
The bartender said
she left about 10:15,
344
00:14:21,086 --> 00:14:24,049
which is shortly after the news
of Henry King's murder broke.
345
00:14:24,133 --> 00:14:25,528
She's also
telling the truth
346
00:14:25,612 --> 00:14:27,052
about the dude
in the green hoodie.
347
00:14:27,136 --> 00:14:29,576
Check it out.
348
00:14:29,660 --> 00:14:32,144
Here he is standing
on the corner
349
00:14:32,228 --> 00:14:33,536
a block away
from the brownstone.
350
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:35,060
Just like she said.
351
00:14:35,144 --> 00:14:37,179
Run the video.
352
00:14:40,062 --> 00:14:42,110
Freeze it.
353
00:14:42,194 --> 00:14:44,156
It's a long shot,
but...
354
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,941
there's a chance that
cigarette butt is still there.
355
00:14:49,245 --> 00:14:50,379
All right.
356
00:14:52,857 --> 00:14:56,298
Looks like it should
be around here some place.
357
00:14:56,382 --> 00:14:59,026
Yup.
This is it.
358
00:15:03,607 --> 00:15:06,265
I am feeling lucky.
359
00:15:06,349 --> 00:15:09,080
I'm not.
But that's just me.
360
00:15:12,181 --> 00:15:14,447
Bet you 20 bucks.
361
00:15:14,531 --> 00:15:17,537
- Bet.
- Deal.
362
00:15:17,621 --> 00:15:19,713
We got a hit from the DNA.
363
00:15:19,797 --> 00:15:21,933
A woman named Nicole Bell.
364
00:15:22,017 --> 00:15:24,805
- Maiden name Nicole Atkins.
- Mm-hmm.
365
00:15:24,889 --> 00:15:27,460
Nicole Atkins?
366
00:15:27,544 --> 00:15:29,157
That makes a lot of sense.
367
00:15:32,810 --> 00:15:34,467
Nicole Atkins
was the first woman
368
00:15:34,551 --> 00:15:37,600
to accuse Henry King
of rape.
369
00:15:46,998 --> 00:15:49,816
Okay.
370
00:15:51,524 --> 00:15:52,833
A search warrant?
For what?
371
00:15:52,917 --> 00:15:54,443
We're investigating
a homicide.
372
00:15:54,527 --> 00:15:56,010
A homicide?
373
00:15:56,094 --> 00:15:57,707
What are you talking about?
374
00:15:57,791 --> 00:16:00,536
- Is your wife home?
- No, she just left for work.
375
00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:02,147
Okay, guys,
take upstairs.
376
00:16:02,231 --> 00:16:03,365
Wait.
377
00:16:03,449 --> 00:16:04,932
Is this about Henry King?
378
00:16:05,016 --> 00:16:06,934
- You think...
- We're not thinking anything.
379
00:16:07,018 --> 00:16:09,589
We're just executing
a search warrant.
380
00:16:09,673 --> 00:16:12,418
She's the victim here.
I mean, you get that, right?
381
00:16:12,502 --> 00:16:14,376
She's the one that was
drugged and raped...
382
00:16:14,460 --> 00:16:15,682
We understand, sir.
383
00:16:15,766 --> 00:16:17,423
We're gonna need you
to step aside, please.
384
00:16:17,507 --> 00:16:19,338
All right,
we won't be long.
385
00:16:56,067 --> 00:16:59,073
No GSR, blood,
or DNA on the hoodie.
386
00:16:59,157 --> 00:17:01,423
But it still puts her
near the scene.
387
00:17:01,507 --> 00:17:04,905
Well, Nicole's subway card
says she exited and entered
388
00:17:04,989 --> 00:17:08,735
the 72nd Street subway station
three times in the past week.
389
00:17:08,819 --> 00:17:11,607
That's about four blocks
from Henry King's brownstone.
390
00:17:11,691 --> 00:17:13,740
- Where's Nicole live?
- West Village.
391
00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:15,916
Her yoga studio's
down there, too.
392
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,049
Got another hit on
the person in the green hoodie,
393
00:17:18,133 --> 00:17:19,702
except you can see her face
in this one.
394
00:17:19,786 --> 00:17:22,618
- Date?
- December 9th, 9:27 p.m.,
395
00:17:22,702 --> 00:17:24,751
about 33 minutes
before the actual murder.
396
00:17:24,835 --> 00:17:26,405
It's definitely Nicole Bell.
397
00:17:26,489 --> 00:17:27,841
Where's she standing?
398
00:17:27,925 --> 00:17:30,757
On 74th, between Columbus
and Central Park West,
399
00:17:30,841 --> 00:17:33,050
about two blocks
from King's brownstone.
400
00:17:34,975 --> 00:17:37,503
Detective Bernard,
how's it going?
401
00:17:37,587 --> 00:17:39,418
We've been
canvassing the area.
402
00:17:39,502 --> 00:17:40,767
Found it in there.
403
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,351
Called Sanitation
and trash hasn't
404
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:43,770
been picked up
for the past two days.
405
00:17:43,854 --> 00:17:47,382
So if the shooter dumped it,
it would still be here.
406
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,341
We got a SIG 380.
407
00:17:49,425 --> 00:17:52,374
That'll match the casings
we found at the crime scene.
408
00:17:54,169 --> 00:17:55,738
Tuesday night?
409
00:17:55,822 --> 00:17:58,741
I was home
with my husband.
410
00:17:58,825 --> 00:18:01,570
Were you on the Upper
West Side at all that day?
411
00:18:01,654 --> 00:18:03,572
I'm not sure.
412
00:18:03,656 --> 00:18:06,575
Hmm.
413
00:18:06,659 --> 00:18:09,042
That is you, correct?
414
00:18:10,533 --> 00:18:12,016
Am I under arrest?
415
00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:13,452
Oh, no.
416
00:18:13,536 --> 00:18:17,978
But if you keep lying to us,
we'll have no choice.
417
00:18:18,062 --> 00:18:20,720
You gotta understand,
no one in this building
418
00:18:20,804 --> 00:18:22,374
thinks you did anything wrong.
419
00:18:22,458 --> 00:18:24,071
Hell, if it were up to me, I'd
give you the key to the city.
420
00:18:24,155 --> 00:18:26,146
Prick King got
what he deserved.
421
00:18:28,203 --> 00:18:30,338
The other thing
you gotta understand is
422
00:18:30,422 --> 00:18:31,731
we got the whole thing
on video.
423
00:18:31,815 --> 00:18:34,864
Yeah, holding the SIG .380,
424
00:18:34,948 --> 00:18:37,780
waiting outside the service
entrance, shooting King.
425
00:18:37,864 --> 00:18:40,000
There were
two surveillance cameras
426
00:18:40,084 --> 00:18:42,002
on the wall,
hidden from plain view.
427
00:18:42,086 --> 00:18:44,657
The video is perfect.
We see your face, the gun,
428
00:18:44,741 --> 00:18:47,138
the muzzle flash.
429
00:18:47,753 --> 00:18:49,314
If you already
know what happened,
430
00:18:49,398 --> 00:18:51,316
why are we even talking?
431
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,013
Because we want to help you.
432
00:18:53,097 --> 00:18:56,973
Like I said, no one here
thinks you did anything wrong.
433
00:18:57,057 --> 00:18:59,150
More importantly,
nobody wants to prosecute you.
434
00:18:59,234 --> 00:19:00,803
Nobody.
435
00:19:00,887 --> 00:19:02,588
What prosecutor is
gonna punish a good woman
436
00:19:02,672 --> 00:19:06,157
like yourself for shooting
the man who raped her?
437
00:19:06,241 --> 00:19:08,507
That's a career killer.
438
00:19:09,737 --> 00:19:11,534
Tell us what really happened.
439
00:19:11,909 --> 00:19:14,834
Tell us your side of the story,
so we can help you.
440
00:19:19,010 --> 00:19:20,526
Then what?
441
00:19:21,604 --> 00:19:23,503
You go home.
442
00:19:24,675 --> 00:19:26,698
Nicole, you move on
with your life.
443
00:19:28,263 --> 00:19:30,094
I give you my word.
444
00:19:36,967 --> 00:19:38,885
Well, you saw
his TV interview, right?
445
00:19:38,969 --> 00:19:40,539
There was no remorse.
None!
446
00:19:40,623 --> 00:19:42,671
It was like he was mocking us.
447
00:19:42,755 --> 00:19:44,878
I... I couldn't take it.
448
00:19:46,802 --> 00:19:49,938
- So you killed him.
- He needed to be stopped.
449
00:19:50,023 --> 00:19:51,463
He would have kept
raping people.
450
00:19:51,547 --> 00:19:52,638
So, yes, I shot him.
451
00:19:52,722 --> 00:19:55,249
Okay.
Okay.
452
00:19:55,333 --> 00:20:02,025
So tell us what happened
after you shot him.
453
00:20:03,211 --> 00:20:07,522
I tossed the gun
in a dumpster and went home.
454
00:20:07,606 --> 00:20:10,656
I took a shower,
said a few prayers,
455
00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:14,181
made my peace,
and then went to sleep.
456
00:20:20,315 --> 00:20:21,928
Nicole Bell,
you're under arrest for murder.
457
00:20:22,012 --> 00:20:24,104
What?
You just said that...
458
00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,411
- Yeah, I lied.
- No! No!
459
00:20:33,534 --> 00:20:35,722
Let her go, let her go!
460
00:20:35,807 --> 00:20:37,900
Let her go!
Let her go!
461
00:20:37,984 --> 00:20:41,034
Let her go, let her go!
462
00:20:41,118 --> 00:20:43,210
Let her go,
let her go!
463
00:20:43,294 --> 00:20:44,511
Let her go, let her go!
464
00:20:44,596 --> 00:20:48,847
Docket number 373-988,
People versus Nicole S. Bell.
465
00:20:48,932 --> 00:20:51,523
- Murder in the second degree.
- How does the defendant plead?
466
00:20:51,607 --> 00:20:54,613
- Not guilty, Your Honor.
- Mr. Price, bail?
467
00:20:54,697 --> 00:20:57,485
The defendant has no priors
and is not a flight risk.
468
00:20:57,569 --> 00:21:00,532
As such, we request bail
be set at $200,000.
469
00:21:00,616 --> 00:21:02,664
Defense has no objection.
470
00:21:02,748 --> 00:21:05,928
Well, I do.
This is a murder case.
471
00:21:06,012 --> 00:21:08,366
Bail is set at $1 million.
472
00:21:08,450 --> 00:21:10,237
A million dollars,
that's crazy!
473
00:21:10,321 --> 00:21:12,196
- That's ridiculous!
- She did the right thing!
474
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,241
Let her go!
Let her go!
475
00:21:14,325 --> 00:21:17,201
- Enough!
- She's innocent!
476
00:21:17,285 --> 00:21:18,854
Keller filed
a motion to suppress
477
00:21:18,938 --> 00:21:20,073
Nicole Bell's confession.
478
00:21:20,157 --> 00:21:21,683
On what basis?
479
00:21:21,767 --> 00:21:23,250
The usual stuff.
480
00:21:23,334 --> 00:21:25,165
Defendant wasn't
properly Mirandized,
481
00:21:25,249 --> 00:21:26,819
confession wasn't
knowing and voluntary,
482
00:21:26,903 --> 00:21:29,343
police used
improper and coercive tactics.
483
00:21:29,427 --> 00:21:31,258
- Did they?
- Did they what?
484
00:21:31,342 --> 00:21:34,348
Use improper techniques.
485
00:21:34,432 --> 00:21:38,309
No.
I watched the interrogation.
486
00:21:38,393 --> 00:21:41,921
Did Cosgrove lie?
487
00:21:42,005 --> 00:21:44,184
Yeah.
488
00:21:44,268 --> 00:21:48,392
Did a good job, too.
489
00:21:49,882 --> 00:21:51,800
This case is
front page news, Nolan.
490
00:21:51,884 --> 00:21:54,760
I get it.
But, with all due respect,
491
00:21:54,844 --> 00:21:57,415
that's not relevant.
492
00:21:57,499 --> 00:22:01,027
When you asked me to come here,
you said,
493
00:22:01,111 --> 00:22:05,336
"I need someone who sees the
world through a different lens,
494
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:07,773
someone with the guts
to make hard decisions."
495
00:22:07,857 --> 00:22:12,212
I remember.
I still feel that way.
496
00:22:12,296 --> 00:22:14,345
But it's
a legal confession, Nolan.
497
00:22:14,429 --> 00:22:16,782
Cops are allowed to lie.
498
00:22:16,866 --> 00:22:19,219
They are, but it makes
the confession less reliable.
499
00:22:19,303 --> 00:22:21,265
Less ethical.
500
00:22:21,349 --> 00:22:26,226
No.
If it's legal, it's ethical.
501
00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:31,362
So where do we
draw the line, Nolan?
502
00:22:31,446 --> 00:22:34,103
One lie, two lies?
503
00:22:34,187 --> 00:22:37,237
Or do we analyze
the severity of the lie?
504
00:22:37,321 --> 00:22:38,760
Do white lies count?
505
00:22:38,844 --> 00:22:41,502
Do we examine how charming
a detective is?
506
00:22:41,586 --> 00:22:44,113
What about embellishments?
Do they count?
507
00:22:44,197 --> 00:22:47,813
What if a cop says we have
five witnesses instead of four?
508
00:22:47,897 --> 00:22:49,989
- Do we throw it out?
- I think we need to analyze it
509
00:22:50,073 --> 00:22:51,773
on a case-by-case basis.
510
00:22:51,857 --> 00:22:54,341
But, to be clear,
in this case, it wasn't
511
00:22:54,425 --> 00:22:56,387
one little lie
or embellishment.
512
00:22:56,471 --> 00:22:58,867
Cosgrove spun
the suspect upside down.
513
00:22:58,951 --> 00:23:01,333
He practically
promised her immunity.
514
00:23:01,418 --> 00:23:03,132
Told her that no one
in the DA's Office
515
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:05,352
would even consider
prosecuting her,
516
00:23:05,436 --> 00:23:07,659
exploited the fact
that she was a rape victim,
517
00:23:07,743 --> 00:23:09,748
that she shot
the man who assaulted her.
518
00:23:09,832 --> 00:23:14,143
Why let the defense
tear him apart on cross,
519
00:23:14,227 --> 00:23:16,189
shift the focus away
from the evidence
520
00:23:16,273 --> 00:23:18,234
and onto her sympathetic client
521
00:23:18,318 --> 00:23:21,455
and the big bad
police department?
522
00:23:30,418 --> 00:23:33,075
Like it or not, Nolan,
523
00:23:33,159 --> 00:23:36,514
"the big bad police department"
is our partner.
524
00:23:36,598 --> 00:23:38,385
And, in case you haven't
been paying attention,
525
00:23:38,469 --> 00:23:39,778
they're under attack.
526
00:23:39,862 --> 00:23:42,824
Every decision,
every arrest is scrutinized.
527
00:23:42,908 --> 00:23:45,914
There are people trying to
defund them, for God's sake.
528
00:23:45,998 --> 00:23:49,222
And here you are,
asking me to castrate them?
529
00:23:49,306 --> 00:23:50,528
That is not my intent.
530
00:23:50,612 --> 00:23:52,443
I just wanna do what
is best for this case.
531
00:23:55,443 --> 00:23:58,057
Can you win this trial
without a confession?
532
00:24:01,231 --> 00:24:04,063
Yes.
533
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:08,546
Your call.
534
00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:11,592
As long as you're willing
to live with the consequences.
535
00:24:11,676 --> 00:24:14,059
I am.
536
00:24:16,159 --> 00:24:18,716
Okay, then it's out.
537
00:24:19,554 --> 00:24:21,123
Thank you.
538
00:24:31,130 --> 00:24:33,484
We have video
of the defendant,
539
00:24:33,568 --> 00:24:35,529
two blocks from
Henry King's brownstone,
540
00:24:35,613 --> 00:24:37,836
approximately 30 minutes
prior to the shooting,
541
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,578
and video of her, wearing
the exact same clothing,
542
00:24:40,662 --> 00:24:43,929
but this time covering
her face, wearing sunglasses,
543
00:24:44,013 --> 00:24:47,759
two blocks from the brownstone,
tossing the murder weapon
544
00:24:47,843 --> 00:24:51,371
into a dumpster,
five minutes after the murder.
545
00:24:53,544 --> 00:24:58,073
As for motive...
well, she's got a good one.
546
00:24:58,157 --> 00:25:00,206
Oldest one there is, actually.
547
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:02,338
Vengeance.
548
00:25:02,422 --> 00:25:05,080
When the justice system
failed her,
549
00:25:05,164 --> 00:25:08,693
the defendant took matters
into her own hands.
550
00:25:08,777 --> 00:25:12,784
Got justice her way.
The Old Testament way.
551
00:25:12,868 --> 00:25:17,876
The evidence will prove
that Henry King
552
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,532
did some despicable things
to the defendant,
553
00:25:21,616 --> 00:25:23,969
that she had every right
to loathe him.
554
00:25:24,053 --> 00:25:26,493
But the evidence will
also prove that,
555
00:25:26,577 --> 00:25:28,147
on the date of
Henry King's death,
556
00:25:28,231 --> 00:25:31,324
the defendant grabbed
a SIG .380 handgun,
557
00:25:31,408 --> 00:25:33,108
secreted herself
in a dark place
558
00:25:33,192 --> 00:25:36,925
outside the victim's home,
and then shot him five times.
559
00:25:38,284 --> 00:25:41,465
Henry King...
560
00:25:41,549 --> 00:25:45,556
committed some abhorrent acts
561
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,167
of sexual violence
to the defendant.
562
00:25:48,251 --> 00:25:52,171
He took things from her
that she will never get back.
563
00:25:52,255 --> 00:25:55,479
Unfortunately for her,
564
00:25:55,563 --> 00:26:01,036
that has no bearing
on this trial.
565
00:26:03,266 --> 00:26:06,272
In the eyes of the law,
566
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:08,492
when a good woman kills
567
00:26:08,576 --> 00:26:11,277
a horrible man
568
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:13,366
in cold blood...
569
00:26:13,450 --> 00:26:16,878
it's called murder.
570
00:26:23,112 --> 00:26:26,988
Your Honor, the Defense
waives opening at this time.
571
00:26:27,072 --> 00:26:30,165
Mr. Price,
call your first witness.
572
00:26:30,249 --> 00:26:32,646
Is this hooded sweatshirt
similar to the one
573
00:26:32,730 --> 00:26:34,387
you recovered from
the defendant's apartment?
574
00:26:34,471 --> 00:26:35,606
Yeah, it appears identical.
575
00:26:35,690 --> 00:26:38,304
And where exactly
did you recover
576
00:26:38,388 --> 00:26:40,785
this green hooded sweatshirt?
577
00:26:40,869 --> 00:26:42,700
The defendant's apartment.
I found it in the dryer.
578
00:26:42,784 --> 00:26:45,964
It was damp,
like it was just being washed.
579
00:26:46,048 --> 00:26:47,705
Now when was that
search warrant executed?
580
00:26:47,789 --> 00:26:50,838
Day after Henry King
was shot.
581
00:26:50,922 --> 00:26:55,887
Detective, where did you
recover the murder weapon?
582
00:26:55,971 --> 00:26:58,716
There.
ECT found it in that dumpster.
583
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,021
This dumpster
right behind the woman
584
00:27:00,105 --> 00:27:01,457
- in the green hoodie...
- Objection!
585
00:27:01,541 --> 00:27:02,676
There is no evidence
that the person
586
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,243
in this photo is a woman.
587
00:27:04,327 --> 00:27:07,754
- Sustained.
- Nothing further, Your Honor.
588
00:27:08,810 --> 00:27:10,684
Detective,
you have no idea
589
00:27:10,768 --> 00:27:13,731
that the hoodie you recovered
is the actual hoodie
590
00:27:13,815 --> 00:27:15,602
that the person
in the photo is wearing?
591
00:27:15,686 --> 00:27:16,864
Correct.
592
00:27:16,948 --> 00:27:18,562
And there was no blood
or DNA evidence
593
00:27:18,646 --> 00:27:20,085
found on the hoodie
that you recovered?
594
00:27:20,169 --> 00:27:21,695
Right.
595
00:27:21,779 --> 00:27:23,871
Okay, so help me out here.
596
00:27:23,955 --> 00:27:26,613
If someone is wearing
a sweatshirt
597
00:27:26,697 --> 00:27:28,963
and shoots a man five times
at close range,
598
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,966
there would likely be blood
spatter all over it, correct?
599
00:27:32,050 --> 00:27:33,925
Not necessarily,
and, like I said,
600
00:27:34,009 --> 00:27:35,622
when we found the hoodie,
it was damp
601
00:27:35,706 --> 00:27:36,841
like she'd just washed it.
602
00:27:36,925 --> 00:27:39,539
But there was no blood on it.
603
00:27:39,623 --> 00:27:42,063
Yes, correct,
because she washed it...
604
00:27:42,147 --> 00:27:43,499
So, what
you're really saying is,
605
00:27:43,583 --> 00:27:45,318
you have absolutely no evidence
606
00:27:45,403 --> 00:27:46,966
that Nicole Bell
committed this crime.
607
00:27:47,051 --> 00:27:49,701
Just some random,
blood-free hoodie
608
00:27:49,786 --> 00:27:51,638
that vaguely resembles
the hoodie
609
00:27:51,722 --> 00:27:53,436
that the person
in the photograph is wearing?
610
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,728
No, that's not what
I'm saying.
611
00:27:54,812 --> 00:27:57,537
The woman in that green hoodie
by that dumpster
612
00:27:57,622 --> 00:27:59,513
is Nicole Bell.
613
00:27:59,598 --> 00:28:01,169
And since we found
the murder weapon
614
00:28:01,254 --> 00:28:03,787
- in that very dumpster...
- Objection, speculation.
615
00:28:03,872 --> 00:28:05,434
The witness has
no personal knowledge that
616
00:28:05,518 --> 00:28:07,698
the person in the photo tossed
the gun into the dumpster.
617
00:28:07,782 --> 00:28:09,525
Sustained.
Detective, please refrain
618
00:28:09,609 --> 00:28:10,774
from drawing conclusions.
619
00:28:10,859 --> 00:28:12,263
I apologize, Your Honor.
620
00:28:12,348 --> 00:28:13,921
I'm not drawing conclusions.
621
00:28:14,512 --> 00:28:17,138
Because the defendant
actually told me
622
00:28:17,223 --> 00:28:19,579
she tossed the murder weapon
into that dumpster
623
00:28:19,663 --> 00:28:20,850
when she confessed
that she shot...
624
00:28:20,934 --> 00:28:22,364
- Objection!
- Henry King.
625
00:28:22,448 --> 00:28:23,757
Sustained!
626
00:28:23,841 --> 00:28:26,879
Counsel, my chambers.
Now.
627
00:28:30,891 --> 00:28:32,310
I move for a mistrial.
628
00:28:32,395 --> 00:28:33,725
We had an agreement
that the people
629
00:28:33,809 --> 00:28:35,357
would not introduce
this confession.
630
00:28:35,442 --> 00:28:36,988
Detective Cosgrove
made a mistake.
631
00:28:37,072 --> 00:28:38,163
A mistake
that the jury heard.
632
00:28:38,247 --> 00:28:40,165
Heard that Nicole
confessed to this crime.
633
00:28:40,249 --> 00:28:41,688
A confession
you decided to toss.
634
00:28:41,772 --> 00:28:44,038
So, what the hell
is going on here, Price?
635
00:28:44,122 --> 00:28:45,823
As I said,
Your Honor, Detective Cosgrove
636
00:28:45,907 --> 00:28:48,129
- made an honest mistake.
- I know Cosgrove.
637
00:28:48,213 --> 00:28:49,565
He's smart; He doesn't
make honest mistakes.
638
00:28:49,649 --> 00:28:51,611
Whatever he said,
he said for a reason.
639
00:28:51,695 --> 00:28:53,961
It's possible.
It's... it's still my fault.
640
00:28:54,045 --> 00:28:55,397
I should have
reminded Cosgrove
641
00:28:55,481 --> 00:28:57,661
that the confession was
inadmissible, I apologize.
642
00:28:57,745 --> 00:29:00,011
But his testimony
wasn't overly prejudicial.
643
00:29:00,095 --> 00:29:02,361
A curative instruction
can fix this.
644
00:29:02,445 --> 00:29:04,319
I agree.
645
00:29:04,403 --> 00:29:06,670
I'll advise the jury to
disregard Cosgrove's statement.
646
00:29:06,754 --> 00:29:08,759
What?
No mistrial?
647
00:29:08,843 --> 00:29:11,370
The jury cannot unhear
what Cosgrove just said.
648
00:29:11,454 --> 00:29:14,373
They'll have to.
Because we're moving forward.
649
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,379
Frank,
what the hell was that?
650
00:29:20,463 --> 00:29:22,250
I told you five times
651
00:29:22,334 --> 00:29:23,512
you're not allowed
to mention the confession!
652
00:29:23,596 --> 00:29:24,688
We're not using it.
653
00:29:24,772 --> 00:29:25,645
Are you trying to blow
the whole...
654
00:29:25,729 --> 00:29:27,342
- Go to hell.
- Excuse me?
655
00:29:27,426 --> 00:29:28,996
I catch 'em, you cook 'em.
656
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,737
That's how this is
supposed to work.
657
00:29:30,821 --> 00:29:31,869
We talked about this...
658
00:29:31,953 --> 00:29:32,957
I don't care what
we talked about!
659
00:29:33,041 --> 00:29:35,046
I'm a cop.
I'm a good cop.
660
00:29:35,130 --> 00:29:38,092
Like it or not, I get paid to
lie to people like Nicole Bell.
661
00:29:38,176 --> 00:29:39,659
Just stop trying
to change the world.
662
00:29:39,743 --> 00:29:41,095
Do your damn job.
663
00:29:51,754 --> 00:29:54,498
If you're here to gloat
about the confession snafu,
664
00:29:54,583 --> 00:29:55,442
I'm not interested.
665
00:29:55,527 --> 00:29:57,177
No gloating here, I promise.
666
00:29:57,262 --> 00:29:59,244
I am simply
the bearer of information.
667
00:29:59,328 --> 00:30:03,335
Just got notice that Nicole
is claiming self-defense.
668
00:30:03,512 --> 00:30:04,818
What?
Self-defense?
669
00:30:04,903 --> 00:30:06,115
Gets better, too.
670
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,383
King's wife was just
added to the witness list.
671
00:30:08,467 --> 00:30:10,603
She's going to testify
that she actually saw
672
00:30:10,687 --> 00:30:12,953
King attack Nicole
right before the shooting.
673
00:30:13,037 --> 00:30:14,520
Saw him?
She was in the bar.
674
00:30:14,604 --> 00:30:16,130
Well you don't
see that every day.
675
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:18,263
Victim's wife
committing perjury
676
00:30:18,347 --> 00:30:20,469
to help the killer walk free.
677
00:30:27,443 --> 00:30:29,448
I heard Henry
screaming at Nicole,
678
00:30:29,532 --> 00:30:31,624
calling her a whore, a liar.
679
00:30:31,708 --> 00:30:33,844
So I went downstairs
to the maid's room.
680
00:30:33,928 --> 00:30:37,369
And what did you see next?
681
00:30:37,453 --> 00:30:40,981
Nicole was trying
to hurry out the door.
682
00:30:41,065 --> 00:30:44,028
Henry ran after her,
grabbed her.
683
00:30:44,112 --> 00:30:46,204
Then I heard gunshots.
684
00:30:46,288 --> 00:30:48,032
And did you tell
any of this to the police?
685
00:30:48,116 --> 00:30:50,034
- No.
- How come?
686
00:30:50,118 --> 00:30:51,862
For the past 25 years,
687
00:30:51,946 --> 00:30:56,344
my number one priority
was to protect Henry's brand,
688
00:30:56,428 --> 00:30:59,434
perpetuate the myth
that he was a good man,
689
00:30:59,518 --> 00:31:02,829
a kind man, a family man.
690
00:31:02,913 --> 00:31:04,918
So that was my first instinct,
691
00:31:05,002 --> 00:31:08,008
to protect Henry,
even in death.
692
00:31:08,092 --> 00:31:10,040
Nothing further.
693
00:31:14,751 --> 00:31:16,321
At the time of
your husband's murder,
694
00:31:16,405 --> 00:31:19,237
you were actually
at a bar called Maxwell's,
695
00:31:19,321 --> 00:31:20,891
a block away from your home.
Correct?
696
00:31:20,975 --> 00:31:22,414
No, I was home.
697
00:31:22,498 --> 00:31:25,417
The manager of Maxwell's,
Daniel Connolly,
698
00:31:25,501 --> 00:31:27,071
someone you've known
for five years,
699
00:31:27,155 --> 00:31:30,378
confirmed that you were there
until approximately 10:15 p.m.
700
00:31:30,462 --> 00:31:32,903
He also confirmed
seeing you there
701
00:31:32,987 --> 00:31:35,775
as word of Henry's murder
began to circulate,
702
00:31:35,859 --> 00:31:37,908
which means you're lying,
703
00:31:37,992 --> 00:31:40,911
that you didn't witness
any sort of altercation.
704
00:31:40,995 --> 00:31:42,913
- Correct?
- No.
705
00:31:42,997 --> 00:31:45,698
Daniel must have been mistaken.
I left the bar before 10:00.
706
00:31:45,782 --> 00:31:47,918
I saw Henry
and Nicole fighting.
707
00:31:48,002 --> 00:31:49,528
I heard the gunshots.
708
00:31:49,612 --> 00:31:51,095
So you're
calling Daniel a liar?
709
00:31:51,179 --> 00:31:53,475
No, you are.
710
00:31:58,273 --> 00:32:00,278
Mrs. King...
711
00:32:00,362 --> 00:32:03,934
the real reason
you're testifying today
712
00:32:04,018 --> 00:32:07,502
is because you're ashamed
of yourself, correct?
713
00:32:07,586 --> 00:32:09,983
I'm testifying
'cause it's the right thing.
714
00:32:10,067 --> 00:32:11,506
The right thing for you.
715
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:13,030
Because you want
to absolve yourself
716
00:32:13,114 --> 00:32:14,161
from your husband's crimes,
717
00:32:14,245 --> 00:32:16,903
from the anguish you caused
718
00:32:16,987 --> 00:32:20,515
the defendant and the 39
other women that he raped.
719
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,561
Of course I regret that.
720
00:32:22,645 --> 00:32:25,390
What Henry did to those women,
it's unthinkable!
721
00:32:25,474 --> 00:32:27,087
So you agree.
722
00:32:27,171 --> 00:32:28,828
You're testifying
because you feel guilty.
723
00:32:28,912 --> 00:32:31,309
You're trying to help
Nicole get away with murder,
724
00:32:31,393 --> 00:32:33,572
so you can feel better
about yourself.
725
00:32:33,656 --> 00:32:35,661
I am here to tell the truth.
726
00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:38,838
You mean rewrite the truth.
Change your brand.
727
00:32:38,922 --> 00:32:41,841
Go from Henry King supporter
to Henry King hater.
728
00:32:41,925 --> 00:32:44,148
Objection!
He is badgering the witness.
729
00:32:44,232 --> 00:32:46,106
Sustained.
Move on, Mr. Price.
730
00:32:46,190 --> 00:32:49,066
Mrs. King...
731
00:32:49,150 --> 00:32:52,286
You stood by your husband
732
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:55,986
even though 40 women
accused him of rape.
733
00:32:56,070 --> 00:32:59,337
You attacked their integrity
and motives.
734
00:32:59,421 --> 00:33:02,862
You called them tramps,
gold diggers, fame sluts.
735
00:33:02,946 --> 00:33:06,474
I can only imagine
how much shame and remorse
736
00:33:06,558 --> 00:33:08,085
- you must feel.
- Objection!
737
00:33:08,169 --> 00:33:10,304
Withdrawn.
Nothing further.
738
00:33:14,697 --> 00:33:18,182
The defense
calls Nicole Bell.
739
00:33:18,266 --> 00:33:22,012
He was the most
charming man I ever met.
740
00:33:22,096 --> 00:33:24,666
He was interested in
everything I had to say,
741
00:33:24,750 --> 00:33:28,366
everything I wanted to do.
742
00:33:28,450 --> 00:33:31,021
We were going to open
a business together,
743
00:33:31,105 --> 00:33:33,662
a chain of yoga studios.
744
00:33:35,718 --> 00:33:41,727
Then one day, we played tennis
at his house in Connecticut.
745
00:33:41,811 --> 00:33:44,251
When we were done,
he started flirting,
746
00:33:44,335 --> 00:33:46,688
said he wanted to have sex.
747
00:33:46,772 --> 00:33:49,996
I told him that was a bad idea.
748
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,738
And he just glared at me.
749
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:57,221
All the charm and kindness
in his eyes
750
00:33:57,305 --> 00:33:59,484
just vanished in an instant.
751
00:33:59,568 --> 00:34:02,517
Then what happened?
752
00:34:04,355 --> 00:34:06,839
He pushed me down on the bed,
753
00:34:06,923 --> 00:34:09,015
pulled up my skirt,
and raped me.
754
00:34:09,099 --> 00:34:10,669
Did you call the police?
755
00:34:10,753 --> 00:34:13,498
- No.
- How come?
756
00:34:13,582 --> 00:34:16,879
I wanted to pretend
it never happened.
757
00:34:18,761 --> 00:34:22,637
Are you okay to continue?
758
00:34:22,721 --> 00:34:27,759
Did you and Henry remain
friends after he raped you?
759
00:34:28,423 --> 00:34:30,036
Yes.
760
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,561
How come?
761
00:34:33,645 --> 00:34:37,348
I thought maybe if we could
both forget
762
00:34:37,432 --> 00:34:38,914
about what happened,
maybe things
763
00:34:38,998 --> 00:34:40,351
could be like
they were before.
764
00:34:40,435 --> 00:34:42,309
Is that what happened?
765
00:34:42,393 --> 00:34:46,400
No.
766
00:34:46,484 --> 00:34:49,577
Next time I saw him,
he drugged me.
767
00:34:49,661 --> 00:34:52,363
Put Rohypnol in my wine.
768
00:34:52,447 --> 00:34:54,278
I...
769
00:34:54,362 --> 00:34:55,757
I lost control of my body.
770
00:34:55,841 --> 00:34:58,804
I was still awake,
but I was helpless.
771
00:34:58,888 --> 00:35:01,154
And he raped me again.
772
00:35:01,238 --> 00:35:03,591
I was only 24,
773
00:35:03,675 --> 00:35:07,277
and he was one of the most
famous men in America.
774
00:35:13,163 --> 00:35:16,952
So, knowing what
Henry King is capable of doing,
775
00:35:17,036 --> 00:35:20,943
why did you agree
to go to his house that night?
776
00:35:22,868 --> 00:35:25,135
He said he
wanted to apologize.
777
00:35:25,219 --> 00:35:27,137
And I believed him.
778
00:35:27,221 --> 00:35:28,573
Did you bring a gun with you?
779
00:35:30,137 --> 00:35:31,402
Yes.
780
00:35:31,486 --> 00:35:33,186
I took one from
my husband's safe,
781
00:35:33,270 --> 00:35:34,622
in case he tried
to rape me again.
782
00:35:34,706 --> 00:35:37,873
And what happened
at the house?
783
00:35:39,233 --> 00:35:42,891
He poured me a glass of wine.
And I just stared at it.
784
00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:45,024
I was afraid he might
have put something in it.
785
00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:48,419
He saw that I was nervous,
and that infuriated him.
786
00:35:48,503 --> 00:35:51,639
He... he started berating me.
So I ran outside.
787
00:35:51,723 --> 00:35:53,206
He followed me, grabbed me.
788
00:35:53,290 --> 00:35:54,468
I thought he was
going to kill me.
789
00:35:54,552 --> 00:35:58,124
So I shot him.
790
00:35:58,208 --> 00:36:00,508
Henry King ruined my life.
791
00:36:00,593 --> 00:36:04,087
He ruined 39 other lives, too.
792
00:36:04,171 --> 00:36:06,524
And some judge
just let him walk free.
793
00:36:06,608 --> 00:36:08,003
Objection.
She's making a speech.
794
00:36:08,087 --> 00:36:09,135
So I shot him!
795
00:36:09,219 --> 00:36:11,616
So the women he raped
could move on.
796
00:36:11,700 --> 00:36:13,705
Ms. Bell, please.
That's enough.
797
00:36:13,789 --> 00:36:15,185
You've already answered
the question.
798
00:36:15,269 --> 00:36:17,578
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
799
00:36:17,662 --> 00:36:20,451
I'm so sorry.
800
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:32,743
She put on
a hell of a show today.
801
00:36:32,851 --> 00:36:34,360
Jury ate it up, too.
802
00:36:34,445 --> 00:36:36,368
Juror number four
had tears in her eyes.
803
00:36:36,453 --> 00:36:38,512
I get it.
Her story's heartbreaking.
804
00:36:38,596 --> 00:36:41,657
But they have to know
that she's lying,
805
00:36:41,742 --> 00:36:44,344
that this self-defense claim
is nonsense.
806
00:36:44,428 --> 00:36:46,530
They know.
They just don't care.
807
00:36:46,615 --> 00:36:49,142
I've been digging
into her testimony.
808
00:36:49,227 --> 00:36:51,494
She talked a lot about what
she did the day of the murder...
809
00:36:51,578 --> 00:36:53,409
Where she went,
what she was thinking.
810
00:36:53,493 --> 00:36:55,846
But she left out
something pretty significant.
811
00:36:55,930 --> 00:36:57,587
She came to our offices,
812
00:36:57,671 --> 00:37:00,198
came here at 4:45
the day of the murder,
813
00:37:00,282 --> 00:37:02,635
to see ADA Ross.
814
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:04,376
Odd thing to omit.
815
00:37:04,460 --> 00:37:06,291
I mean, if you're
going to talk about
816
00:37:06,375 --> 00:37:08,467
taking a walk,
going to the gym...
817
00:37:08,551 --> 00:37:10,861
why not slip in the fact
you had a chat with
818
00:37:10,945 --> 00:37:14,024
the prosecutor who actually
tried Henry King for rape?
819
00:37:15,906 --> 00:37:18,986
Because the conversation
was incriminating.
820
00:37:24,915 --> 00:37:27,037
Hi.
821
00:37:31,356 --> 00:37:34,319
Excuse me.
We need to talk.
822
00:37:34,403 --> 00:37:35,581
Nolan, what
the hell are you doing here?
823
00:37:35,665 --> 00:37:38,584
I would prefer
to talk in private.
824
00:37:38,668 --> 00:37:40,194
I'm sorry.
825
00:37:40,278 --> 00:37:43,532
Can you give me
just a few minutes?
826
00:37:51,768 --> 00:37:55,209
You meet with Nicole Bell
the day of the murder?
827
00:37:55,293 --> 00:37:57,690
- No comment.
- Jamie, don't do this.
828
00:37:57,774 --> 00:37:59,344
I'm not having
this conversation.
829
00:37:59,428 --> 00:38:00,824
You're a prosecutor,
for God's sake.
830
00:38:00,908 --> 00:38:02,347
I already ruined
that woman's life.
831
00:38:02,431 --> 00:38:04,784
I'm not doing it again.
832
00:38:04,868 --> 00:38:07,352
- I need to know...
- I'm not talking.
833
00:38:07,436 --> 00:38:11,778
Did Nicole tell you she was
going to kill Henry King?
834
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:16,709
Jamie, for God's sake,
835
00:38:16,793 --> 00:38:19,133
don't ruin your career
over this.
836
00:38:20,449 --> 00:38:22,323
I'm not talking.
837
00:38:24,322 --> 00:38:25,631
Then I'll subpoena you.
838
00:38:25,715 --> 00:38:29,069
You wanna lie on the stand,
that's up to you.
839
00:38:31,329 --> 00:38:33,334
Well, you do
what you have to do.
840
00:38:41,426 --> 00:38:44,476
ADA Ross,
do you know the defendant?
841
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,131
Yes, she was a witness
in a case I tried,
842
00:38:47,215 --> 00:38:49,786
the Henry King rape trial.
843
00:38:49,870 --> 00:38:54,530
She was amazing, too.
Strong, determined, fearless.
844
00:38:54,614 --> 00:38:56,662
I have a great deal
of respect for her.
845
00:38:56,746 --> 00:38:58,142
Did you meet
with the defendant
846
00:38:58,226 --> 00:39:01,580
on the day of the murder?
847
00:39:01,664 --> 00:39:03,103
I refuse to answer
on the grounds
848
00:39:03,187 --> 00:39:05,149
- that it may incriminate me.
- You're taking the Fifth?
849
00:39:05,233 --> 00:39:06,411
I refuse to answer
on the grounds...
850
00:39:06,495 --> 00:39:07,499
Are you saying
that you committed a crime?
851
00:39:07,583 --> 00:39:08,805
- Objection!
- Sustained.
852
00:39:08,889 --> 00:39:10,894
Back off, Mr. Price.
853
00:39:14,111 --> 00:39:17,074
I'll try one more time.
854
00:39:17,158 --> 00:39:19,685
Did the defendant tell you
855
00:39:19,769 --> 00:39:22,688
she planned
to kill Henry King?
856
00:39:26,602 --> 00:39:28,085
I refuse to answer
on the grounds
857
00:39:28,169 --> 00:39:30,304
that it may incriminate me.
858
00:39:32,956 --> 00:39:35,470
Nothing further.
859
00:39:37,918 --> 00:39:39,923
I have no questions,
Your Honor.
860
00:39:40,007 --> 00:39:43,056
- You may step down, Ms. Ross.
- Thank you.
861
00:39:55,936 --> 00:39:58,289
Ms. Keller,
call your next witness.
862
00:39:58,373 --> 00:40:00,204
The defense rests,
Your Honor.
863
00:40:00,288 --> 00:40:01,597
We're adjourned.
864
00:40:01,681 --> 00:40:03,686
We'll begin closing arguments
tomorrow.
865
00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:06,645
We need to poke holes
in their absurd defense
866
00:40:06,729 --> 00:40:10,214
and reinforce the idea that
the character of the victim
867
00:40:10,298 --> 00:40:12,782
and of the defendant
are irrelevant!
868
00:40:12,866 --> 00:40:14,479
They already
know that, Nolan.
869
00:40:14,563 --> 00:40:16,046
We've been pounding
that it into their heads
870
00:40:16,130 --> 00:40:17,482
from the beginning.
871
00:40:17,566 --> 00:40:20,006
Like it or not, they want
to believe Nicole's story
872
00:40:20,090 --> 00:40:22,139
But it's preposterous!
873
00:40:22,223 --> 00:40:25,534
I agree with Ms. Maroun.
874
00:40:25,618 --> 00:40:27,840
The jury wants to acquit.
875
00:40:27,924 --> 00:40:32,832
Irrespective of the facts.
Irrespective of the law.
876
00:40:34,888 --> 00:40:37,532
Too bad we didn't have
a damn confession.
877
00:40:38,805 --> 00:40:41,898
It's okay to play
the hero, Nolan...
878
00:40:41,982 --> 00:40:45,423
as long as you win.
879
00:40:45,507 --> 00:40:48,600
And right now...
880
00:40:48,684 --> 00:40:51,938
that appears highly unlikely.
881
00:41:00,870 --> 00:41:03,166
He's right.
882
00:41:05,483 --> 00:41:09,273
Every woman on
that jury hates me.
883
00:41:09,357 --> 00:41:14,047
Right now, I'm just another man
victimizing Nicole Bell.
884
00:41:16,712 --> 00:41:21,706
We need
to reframe the argument.
885
00:41:29,943 --> 00:41:33,906
You told me a story
886
00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:36,300
a while back
887
00:41:36,384 --> 00:41:38,898
about your family.
888
00:41:41,824 --> 00:41:45,078
You're saying you want me
to deliver the closing?
889
00:41:49,658 --> 00:41:51,707
I'm a prosecutor.
890
00:41:51,791 --> 00:41:54,840
I'm sworn to enforce
the laws of this state.
891
00:41:54,924 --> 00:42:00,019
Yet I understand the
defendant's desire for revenge,
892
00:42:00,103 --> 00:42:02,269
for street justice.
893
00:42:03,933 --> 00:42:09,681
Nine years ago, my sister was
raped and murdered in Georgia.
894
00:42:09,765 --> 00:42:12,466
Police never arrested
the offender.
895
00:42:12,550 --> 00:42:14,730
But I knew who did it.
896
00:42:14,814 --> 00:42:18,285
Police knew, too.
Just couldn't prove it.
897
00:42:19,819 --> 00:42:24,043
So it's easy to understand
the defendant's rage,
898
00:42:24,127 --> 00:42:26,611
her desire for vengeance,
899
00:42:26,695 --> 00:42:29,483
her need for this son
of a bitch to pay
900
00:42:29,567 --> 00:42:30,615
for what he did to her,
901
00:42:30,699 --> 00:42:33,778
to suffer like
he made her suffer.
902
00:42:35,791 --> 00:42:38,754
When Henry King was
released from prison,
903
00:42:38,838 --> 00:42:42,105
the defendant's thirst
for revenge escalated.
904
00:42:42,189 --> 00:42:46,936
Maybe she even began
to fantasize about killing him.
905
00:42:47,020 --> 00:42:49,982
Pictured herself
grabbing a gun,
906
00:42:50,066 --> 00:42:53,203
going to his house,
waiting for him to show up.
907
00:42:53,287 --> 00:42:56,772
She probably even planned
what she was going to say,
908
00:42:56,856 --> 00:42:59,674
where she was
going to shoot him.
909
00:43:02,644 --> 00:43:06,433
Those types of fantasies
are perfectly normal.
910
00:43:06,517 --> 00:43:08,609
Trust me.
911
00:43:08,693 --> 00:43:11,395
They're also perfectly legal.
912
00:43:11,479 --> 00:43:15,747
But to actually take the life
of another human being...
913
00:43:15,831 --> 00:43:17,880
to wait outside
someone's house
914
00:43:17,964 --> 00:43:20,709
and shoot him five times
in cold blood...
915
00:43:20,793 --> 00:43:25,308
that's not only wrong,
that's criminal.
916
00:43:27,016 --> 00:43:30,327
Just... just because
you're suffering
917
00:43:30,411 --> 00:43:31,981
and you're filled with anger
918
00:43:32,065 --> 00:43:34,361
doesn't mean you get
to play God.
919
00:43:36,069 --> 00:43:37,900
Now that doesn't mean
you shouldn't
920
00:43:37,984 --> 00:43:40,641
have tremendous sympathy
for the defendant,
921
00:43:40,725 --> 00:43:43,601
that you shouldn't
appreciate the pain
922
00:43:43,685 --> 00:43:47,431
and the suffering she endured.
923
00:43:47,515 --> 00:43:50,782
So, when you go back
to the jury room to deliberate,
924
00:43:50,866 --> 00:43:54,076
give yourself permission
to feel sorry for her.
925
00:43:55,915 --> 00:43:57,615
But that doesn't
mean she's innocent,
926
00:43:57,699 --> 00:44:00,661
that she should walk free.
927
00:44:03,139 --> 00:44:07,451
This case comes down
to one simple question.
928
00:44:07,535 --> 00:44:09,714
Did Nicole Bell
929
00:44:09,798 --> 00:44:13,283
intentionally
shoot and kill Henry King?
930
00:44:16,631 --> 00:44:19,419
If the answer is yes,
931
00:44:19,503 --> 00:44:21,334
you must convict.
932
00:44:41,917 --> 00:44:43,792
Have you reached a verdict?
933
00:44:43,876 --> 00:44:44,793
Yes, Your Honor.
934
00:44:44,877 --> 00:44:46,142
What say you?
935
00:44:46,226 --> 00:44:48,666
On the count of
Murder in the Second Degree,
936
00:44:48,750 --> 00:44:51,582
we find the defendant guilty.
937
00:44:51,666 --> 00:44:54,324
Come on!
938
00:44:57,454 --> 00:44:59,720
I did this for you!
939
00:44:59,804 --> 00:45:01,157
For all of us!
940
00:45:01,241 --> 00:45:02,549
Move on!
941
00:45:02,633 --> 00:45:04,769
Live your lives!
942
00:45:07,377 --> 00:45:10,209
- Let her go!
- Let her go!
943
00:45:10,293 --> 00:45:11,907
- Let her go!
- Order!
944
00:45:11,991 --> 00:45:14,387
- Let her go!
- Order!
945
00:45:15,951 --> 00:45:17,521
- Let her go!
- Order!
946
00:45:17,605 --> 00:45:18,914
Let her go!
947
00:45:18,998 --> 00:45:20,393
Order!
948
00:45:20,477 --> 00:45:23,527
- Let her go!
- Let her go!
949
00:45:23,611 --> 00:45:25,050
- Let her go!
- Order!
950
00:45:25,134 --> 00:45:27,705
- Let her go!
- Let her go!
951
00:45:27,789 --> 00:45:30,490
Let her go,
let her go!
952
00:45:35,971 --> 00:45:38,542
The jury got it right, Sam.
953
00:45:38,626 --> 00:45:41,066
Doesn't feel right.
954
00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:45,405
My goal is to help the victims,
not send them to prison.
955
00:45:48,897 --> 00:45:52,338
If... if you try a good case,
956
00:45:52,422 --> 00:45:57,126
if you do it the right way,
957
00:45:57,210 --> 00:46:00,564
whatever the jury
decides is right,
958
00:46:00,648 --> 00:46:04,002
whether or not it feels good.
959
00:46:04,086 --> 00:46:06,787
That's the only way
I know how to do it.
960
00:46:06,871 --> 00:46:09,864
Only way that lets me
sleep at night.
961
00:46:11,354 --> 00:46:13,490
The only thing that
will let me sleep is
962
00:46:13,807 --> 00:46:16,756
you requesting
the lightest sentence possible.
