Everybody else is going.
I don't care about

Never mind Dad.

00:00:10,991 --> 00:00:13,691
- You are not going on
an unsupervised camping trip.
- In a backyard, Mom.

00:00:13,758 --> 00:00:16,625
- A large backyard.
- Billy's older brother's
gonna be watchin'--

Billy's older brother is 15.
Can we just eat, please?

00:00:18,725 --> 00:00:20,658
That is not supervision
for nine 13-year-olds.
I'm sorry.
7
00:00:20,725 --> 00:00:24,325
- Is it just overnight?
- Girls and boys.
No, I am sorry.

never being able to--
[ Man ] Kevin.
9
00:00:27,025 --> 00:00:29,891
- She treats me like I'm 10!
It's, like, ridiculous!
- I'm treating you like you're--

00:00:29,958 --> 00:00:32,558
Don't speak to mein that tone of voice,young man!
11
00:00:32,625 --> 00:00:34,558
Benny Ray is going.
Kyle Tanner is going.
12
00:00:34,625 --> 00:00:37,125
Kevin, I don't care
what they're doing.
13
00:00:37,191 --> 00:00:39,758
- If Kyle Tanner jumped off
a bridge, would you?
- Shut up, Carol.
14
00:00:39,825 --> 00:00:41,858
[ Carol ] Unacceptable.
The other kids think
I'm a joke because--
15
00:00:41,925 --> 00:00:45,591
- We're not talking aboutother kids.
- Why do I have to--
16
00:00:45,658 --> 00:00:48,291
That is enough.
You don't talk to
your mother that way.
17
00:00:51,125 --> 00:00:53,191
[ Huffs ]
Oh.
18
00:00:53,258 --> 00:00:56,925
It's a bunch of kids
in an overnight tent.
Is it really that big a deal?
19
00:00:56,991 --> 00:00:59,725
Yes. They're not
old enough to--
Will the parents be home inside?
20
00:00:59,791 --> 00:01:01,458
John, support me please.
21
00:01:01,525 --> 00:01:05,558
What message do we send?
If you stomp away from the
table, you get what you want?
22
00:01:05,625 --> 00:01:08,625
- Mommy's big on messages.
- All right, Carol.
23
00:01:08,691 --> 00:01:12,725
Kevin told me to shut up,
and that's unacceptable.
Yes, it is.
24
00:01:12,791 --> 00:01:16,658
I think maybe we have
to explain the reason and not
always hit him with "no."
25
00:01:16,725 --> 00:01:21,725
Honey, I did give him a reason.
He just can't accept it because
all his friends are going.
26
00:01:24,525 --> 00:01:26,458
[ Carol Screaming ]
No!

30
00:02:57,616 --> 00:02:59,682
Where did you get the gun?
31
00:03:01,516 --> 00:03:04,249
The safe.
32
00:03:04,316 --> 00:03:07,116
I keep it in
a safe upstairs.
33
00:03:08,916 --> 00:03:12,616
Kevin knew the combinationin case--
34
00:03:20,449 --> 00:03:23,516
You say you didn't wanna
kill her?
35
00:03:23,582 --> 00:03:26,516
What did you think would happen
if you shot her?
36
00:03:35,049 --> 00:03:37,149
I was just so mad.
37
00:03:41,516 --> 00:03:43,616
I don't know.
38
00:03:52,682 --> 00:03:54,782
What have you done?
39
00:03:54,849 --> 00:03:57,316
A little face lift,
that's all.
40
00:03:57,382 --> 00:04:01,582
What's this? What's that?
None of it works,
but it looks like it does.
41
00:04:01,649 --> 00:04:03,449
And the point being--
The point being...
42
00:04:03,516 --> 00:04:06,916
any new client who comes
in here will feel confident
that we have all the resources.
43
00:04:06,982 --> 00:04:10,149
I'm afraid of computers.
Where's my stuff?
Where's my photos?
44
00:04:10,216 --> 00:04:14,416
I have a meeting
with John Monahan
of Crutcher and Dunn.
45
00:04:14,482 --> 00:04:17,649
He's exploring the idea
of using us for their
class action asbestos.
46
00:04:17,716 --> 00:04:20,282
- Really?
- They heard about
our tobacco cases.
47
00:04:20,349 --> 00:04:23,516
Asbestos?
Plaintiffs. We'd be on
the side of merit, Ellenor.
48
00:04:23,582 --> 00:04:26,482
And the case is huge.
You'd be able to fill
your other ear with metal.
49
00:04:26,549 --> 00:04:29,849
- Funny.
- But we're never gonna land
them unless we look up to it.
50
00:04:29,916 --> 00:04:31,749
Is that what this is about?
Partly.
51
00:04:31,816 --> 00:04:35,282
They want us to actually
try the case?
They want a meeting.
52
00:04:35,349 --> 00:04:37,882
But I think
that's what it's about.
53
00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,482
Arms up.
54
00:04:46,982 --> 00:04:49,116
I go into appeals
this afternoon.
55
00:04:49,182 --> 00:04:51,482
You got the video?
We got it.
56
00:04:53,349 --> 00:04:56,316
So we have a chance.
With the video,
we got a shot, right?
57
00:04:56,382 --> 00:04:59,282
I'd go so far as
to even say a good chance.
58
00:04:59,349 --> 00:05:01,949
But courts don't like to put
killers back on the street.
59
00:05:02,016 --> 00:05:03,949
But the Constitution--
60
00:05:04,016 --> 00:05:06,749
That's like, uh, sacred
to those judges, right?
61
00:05:06,816 --> 00:05:11,749
Sacred, I don't know.
But, yeah,
most of them have read it.
62
00:05:14,616 --> 00:05:18,449
Ms. Gamble, this boy
is an honor student.
63
00:05:18,516 --> 00:05:21,882
He's never been caught in
the hall without a pass.
64
00:05:21,949 --> 00:05:25,282
This is a book report
he wrote about
some poetry last fall.
65
00:05:25,349 --> 00:05:27,616
Just take a second
and read it.
66
00:05:27,682 --> 00:05:30,749
This is a good kid.
67
00:05:30,816 --> 00:05:33,816
- Mr. Larson, you're a friend
of the family?
- That's right.
68
00:05:33,882 --> 00:05:36,616
I know your firm.
It's as good
as any in this town.
69
00:05:36,682 --> 00:05:38,949
But you're primarily
a civil litigator, right?
70
00:05:39,016 --> 00:05:42,416
I mean no offense, but--
71
00:05:42,482 --> 00:05:47,249
Well, sometimes
"friends of the family" lawyers
can do more harm than good.
72
00:05:47,316 --> 00:05:49,116
This boy's in a lot of trouble.
73
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:54,982
He needs an experienced
criminal defense attorney.
74
00:05:55,049 --> 00:05:58,182
I appreciate your candor.
I do plan to find someone--
75
00:05:58,249 --> 00:06:01,882
Well, he should've been in
this room from the beginning.
76
00:06:04,716 --> 00:06:06,749
Do you know Bobby Donnell?
77
00:06:06,816 --> 00:06:09,316
I've certainly
heard of him,
and not all good.
78
00:06:09,382 --> 00:06:10,716
For this stuff,
there's nobody better.
79
00:06:10,782 --> 00:06:14,149
What's more,
he doesn't phone it in.
Call him.
80
00:06:18,616 --> 00:06:22,349
First thing,
I'd like to speak
to him and his dad.

Sholey.
The shooter on those teenagers.
100
00:07:10,049 --> 00:07:12,382

What's the grounds?
Bad confession.

Right, Dad?

What happens now?
128
00:08:51,149 --> 00:08:53,682
He'll meet with
the court psychiatrist.
I'll be there for that.
129
00:08:53,749 --> 00:08:55,716
Then we'll sit down
with the judge.
The big decision...
130
00:08:55,782 --> 00:08:58,449
is whether he gets tried
as an adult or a juvenile.
131
00:08:58,516 --> 00:09:00,949
Adult?
He's 13.
132
00:09:01,016 --> 00:09:06,082
I understand.
But when it's murder--
133
00:09:06,149 --> 00:09:07,982
This isn't Arkansas.
134
00:09:08,049 --> 00:09:11,982
The political pressure
to go adult
will be huge.

Oh, God.
Fortunately,

00:09:17,482 --> 00:09:19,416
We also caught a break

138
00:09:19,482 --> 00:09:21,749
She is completely impervious
to politics.
139
00:09:23,749 --> 00:09:25,882

grant custody to me.

148
00:10:00,182 --> 00:10:03,482

everybody gets their right
to a fair trial.
154
00:10:24,782 --> 00:10:28,682
That's what I do.
You know that?
I know.
155
00:10:28,749 --> 00:10:31,382
I'm not in the business
of getting murderers off.
156
00:10:31,449 --> 00:10:34,049
But you do sometimes.
157
00:10:34,116 --> 00:10:38,816
It's my job to make sure
that the government
can prove their case.
158

'Cause if they don't,
if they can't,
159

then they shouldn't be able

160
00:10:46,182 --> 00:10:48,249
I know.
161
00:10:48,316 --> 00:10:50,549
You do?
Yeah.
162
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:54,149

We should win, Brad,

to rewrite the law.

If he is tried as an adult,

If he had impregnated
his teacher,
355

the teacher would go to jail
and the world would be saying,
"He's a child."
356
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,674
But because of the politics
and outrage of murder,

"He's just a kid."

You can say that, Helen,

because he is a kid.

On these kinds of cases,
we tend not to.

00:28:22,974 --> 00:28:25,107
How do you prove a case
without causation?
432
00:28:25,174 --> 00:28:28,340
Well, I'm not saying ignore it,
but when proving it
depends on science,
433
00:28:28,407 --> 00:28:30,340
you're putting
two heavy burdens on a jury.
434
00:28:30,407 --> 00:28:31,940
One, you're asking them
to understand it.

00:28:32,007 --> 00:28:34,074
Two, you're asking them
to stay awake.
436
00:28:34,140 --> 00:28:36,707
Anything they don't understand,
they get suspicious of.
437
00:28:36,774 --> 00:28:40,174
And with asbestos,
just like tobacco,
you have a presumption.

They already know it kills.

pick apart that premise.

his attorney, all further
interrogation must stop.

00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,940
Nevertheless,
this kind of police conduct
is entirely permissible.
451
00:29:31,007 --> 00:29:35,707
And since we find
the defendant stopped short
of directly asking for counsel,

of your Uncle Curtis?

Yeah. You remember
what he went to jail for?
496
00:32:28,432 --> 00:32:31,132
They thought he knocked off
a liquor store
and capped somebody.

But he didn't, right?
Yeah.
498
00:32:34,365 --> 00:32:38,765
And, uh, the reason
he ended up in prison...
499
00:32:38,832 --> 00:32:43,332
was that he fit the description
of whoever did do it,
and the police arrested him.

They kept him in a room
for 20 hours.

Kept makin' him drink coffee
and not lettin' him
go to the bathroom.

Kept tellin' him
that if he'd just confess,

that everything
would go better.
504
00:32:57,899 --> 00:32:59,899
And that if he didn't confess,
505
00:32:59,965 --> 00:33:05,599
they'd arrest my sister
and they'd both
get the death penalty.

just to go home.

And he signed a confession
to a crime he didn't commit.

The reason I fight for 'em...

will be convicted,
