In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate, yet
equally important groups:

The police, who
investigate crime,

and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Hello? Is someone there?

Who's there?

Andrea Fenton, 36 years old.

Nice place.

- It's not hers, though.
- High-end real estate agent.

All right.

Single shot to the
chest, close range.

There's stippling on the blouse.

We found this
spent shell casing.

- Came from a 9-millimeter.
- Can you bag that?

Send it to the lab
for DNA testing.

Anything else? Any witnesses?

Street cam video?

We're out canvassing
the neighborhood now.

Any sign this might
have been a burglary?

Doors and windows are intact.

House appears undisturbed.

Wallet and phone are
still in her purse.

And her watch is
still on her wrist.

Broken glass.

Looks like it stopped
working at 6:12 p.m.

Probably when she was shot.

The neighbor said
she heard a loud bang

at that same time, 6:12.

Neighbor the one
who called it in?

No.

The homeowner was the
one who dialed 911.

- Oh, that's, uh...
- Max Quattro.

- Yeah. Yeah.
- He's a... he's a huge rock star.

Yeah, I was a big fan of his
when I was in high school.

My kids just started
listening to him.

Very cool.

27 mil.

Brochure says the neighborhood
is historic, quiet, and safe.

Two out of three ain't bad.

Good news, Mr. Quattro.

You tested negative
for gunshot residue.

Yeah, 'cause I had
nothing to do with this.

I mean, if word gets
out I'm a suspect

- in a murder investigation...
- No, no, no.

Nobody here's calling
you a suspect.

We're just following
protocol. That's it.

We do really appreciate
your cooperation.

I want to know who did
this as much as you do.

I mean, it's my
house, for God's sake.

Can you tell us exactly
what you do know?

Yeah. I went to a

- a play at my daughter's school.
- Mm-hmm.

I dropped her off at her mom's,

and I came home about 9:00,

and I found her on the
living room floor, dead.

How well did you know Andrea?

I mean, we met
about a month ago.

She was great. She's a real pro.

But why the hell would somebody
want to do this to her?

We'll find out.

Looks like you got a top of
the line security system here.

We'll need access.

Hey, you're welcome to it,

but the cameras have
all been turned off.

You got a bunch of strangers
running around your house.

That's the time you should
turn the cameras on, right?

Andrea said her clients
demanded total privacy.

So I trusted her,
turned 'em off.

You wouldn't happen to have
the names of the people

that were here
tonight, would you?

Man, she was totally discreet.

She didn't name names.

It's why I liked her, really.

But you should talk
to her assistant.

OK.

Andrea was more than a boss.

She was my... my
mentor, my friend.

This is unbelievable.

What can you tell
us about her, Luke?

Uh, single, no kids.

Her parents died
when she was young.

Did she have any siblings?

A sister, lives
in North Carolina.

How long did you work for her?

About seven months.

But she was like family,

sold my parents their apartment.

When I graduated
Cornell last spring,

she offered to take
me under her wing.

And what exactly
did you do for her?

Drove her to
listings, ran errands,

filled out paperwork, and I
was kind of like her bodyguard.

- Bodyguard, really?
- Yeah.

She didn't like being alone in
empty houses with strangers.

- The job can be kind of scary...
- Sure.

Especially for women.

If you were her bodyguard,

- why weren't you with her today?
- I was.

I dropped her off at Quattro's
a little before 5:00.

But her last client was,
like, a privacy freak.

- Andrea didn't want me there.
- OK.

Where did you go?

Out to dinner with my parents.

We'll need the name
of that restaurant.

Stella's. It's on Madison.

OK.

Do you happen to know
who she was supposed

- to meet with at 5:00?
- Mm-hmm.

Robbie McDougall.

The... the actor?

OK, thank you. Got it.

Looks like Luke Hines's
alibi checks out.

Manager at Stella's
says he was there

- between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30.
- OK.

I heard this guy's been
married, like, six times.

- There's that.
- Well, my daughter's 14,

so I pay attention so we
have something to talk about,

- not that we ever really do.
- Excuse me, this is a live set.

Yeah, you know, we just have
a couple of quick questions.

- And action, Robbie!
- Action, Robbie!

We don't have time
to argue. Get in.

Where are we going,
Agent Falcon?

I can't tell you.

You're gonna have to trust me.

Even though you're lying to me?

Exactly.

And cut! Wardrobe in! Cut.

- Cut!
- Here you go, Robbie.

Mr. McDougall.

We need to talk.

Andrea showed me the house.

I decided it wasn't for me.

I thanked her and left.

I had no idea anything
like this had happened.

What time did you leave?

About a quarter to 6:00.

I had a press event
downtown at 6:30.

And nobody else
was in the house?

No. Andrea was alone.

She was fine when I left.

You and a beautiful woman
alone in a mansion...

I mean, you sure nothing
happened between you two?

- What? No.
- All right.

And you didn't sense
that anything was wrong?

Nothing at all?

She did get a call
right after I arrived.

Sounded intense.

And then when she hung
up, she rolled her eyes

and she said, "That woman is
gonna be the death of me."

Never occurred to me that
she meant that literally.

Hm.

Hey, so social media
has been blowing up

with photos of
McDougall at his presser

30 blocks away from
the crime scene.

He arrived there at 6:27 p.m.

Andrea Fenton died at 6:12.

Yeah, yeah, there's no way
he could have killed her

and made it all the way
across town during rush hour.

What about cameras
inside the house?

Confirmed they were off.

Any doorbell cam footage
from the neighbors?

So far the canvassing hasn't
turned up anything useful.

And all the video was either
too obstructed or too blurred.

Well, she wasn't
killed by a ghost.

So what have we got?

Uh, McDougall was
telling the truth.

Andrea got a call at 5:06 p.m.

- It lasted two minutes.
- Who called her?

This other high-end realtor.

She's been hate-bombing
Andrea with these nasty

social media posts.

Andrea Fenton, your days as
a client poacher are over.

And I will get revenge
for the $2 million

in commissions
you've stolen from me

over the past four years.

That sounds like a threat to me.

Wait. That's Sabrina
Beaumont, right?

- Yeah.
- Who's Sabrina Beaumont?

From the reality show,
"Selling Park Ave."

All right, let's find her.

This home has all the
bells and whistles.

It is the perfect fortress for
anyone seeking peace of mind.

It has a private elevator,
high-tech security,

a 24-hour doorman, and
the piece de resistance,

a safe room.

Because you can never
be too protected.

Sabrina Beaumont?

- Excuse me.
- We're in the middle of a take.

You're gonna have to cut.

Who the hell let you in here?

Oh, we got a master key that
opens any door in the city.

We want to talk to you
about Andrea Fenton.

Andrea? What about her?

She's dead.

What? Really?

I loved Andrea.

Oh, that's interesting,
'cause we were

under the impression that
you kind of hated her.

Yeah, I mean, you called her
an hour before she got killed

and you threatened her.

It doesn't sound
like love to me.

- How about you?
- Mm-mm.

No, I didn't actually
mean any of that.

Well, let's see what you meant.

Because we have some
questions for you.

Come on,

we'll give you a
tour of our fortress.

You'll love it.

I keep telling you,
I loved Andrea.

- She was one of my best friends.
- Yeah.

See, there's a lot of
social media out there

with you guys calling
each other horrible names

and threatening
to sue each other.

You know none of
that's real, right?

And I will get revenge.

- Looks pretty real to me.
- Yeah.

That's the whole point.

- I was acting.
- Acting?

I guess Andrea's
part of the show.

She was going to be.
I play the shark.

I thought we needed
someone to balance that.

Andrea was the perfect foil

pretty, sweet,
everyone loved her.

I've been laying story
tracks for next season.

- Can I talk to you two?
- Yeah. Excuse us.

Forensics used Bode X-traction

on the spent shell casing.

Results just came in.

- They get a profile?
- Yep.

- And a hit too.
- The guy's in the system?

Noah Gilmore.

Lives in Queens, did a
couple of years for burglary.

He's on a construction
site right now.

I'll text you guys the address.

All right.

- You the foreman?
- Yeah.

Looking for a Noah Gilmore.

Gilmore!

Hey, hey, hey.

Gilmore, take it easy.
We just want to talk.

Put the nail gun down, yeah?

What's this about?

Anything in your pocket
that's gonna stick me?

- No.
- No?

Got a cell phone.

And what's this?

AF.

Those are Andrea
Fenton's initials.

What are you doing with this?

- Is that a trophy?
- No.

- I can explain.
- Yeah?

Let's do that over here.

So explain where you were
last night around 6:00 p.m.

Start there.

I was reffing my
son's hockey game.

I'm telling you, I had nothing
to do with Andrea's murder.

Those initials, AF, also stand

for Anne Fenton,

our grandmother.

Andrea was my cousin.

My mother asked me to drop it
by the funeral home after work

so Andrea could
be buried with it.

You still got a problem.

Your DNA is on the
bullet that killed her.

You want to explain that?

Look, I'm on probation.

Then the best way
to protect yourself

is to cooperate with us.

I got Andrea the gun.

I loaded the ammo.

You're saying that she was
killed with her own weapon?

But she didn't have
a permit to carry.

No.

She knew she couldn't carry
a gun legally in Manhattan,

so she asked me
to get it for her.

- It was supposed to protect her.
- From what?

Why would she need a gun?

She didn't want
to talk about it.

You know anybody
she might have told?

I'm not sure.

She was close with
her sister, though.

Andrea was so careful
about her security.

She was doing everything right.

Miranda, we're wondering
if you know of anyone

that might have done
this to your sister.

Was there an ex-boyfriend maybe?

Oh.

About a year ago, she
told me about some guy.

He got really
aggressive with her.

How do you mean?

She was showing him a home,
and he tried to rape her.

Tried?

She managed to get away.

Thank God.

We didn't see any 911
calls made from her phone.

Do you know if she ever
tried to report that?

She didn't.

He was a client.

She didn't want to
draw negative attention

to herself or her business,

so she let it go.

And she never heard
from this guy again?

No, no, she cut off all contact,

blocked his phone number.

But she saw him.

She saw him in her neighborhood
a few times recently.

She was afraid he
might be stalking her.

Traffic cam video
has you circling

Andrea Fenton's building just
a few hours after her murder.

Hold on a minute.

You're not suggesting
I had something

to do with Andrea's murder.

We're suggesting that
you live in Connecticut,

and yet you were
driving around Andrea's.

Upper West Side
neighborhood that night.

I have a new lady friend
who lives on the next block.

I was looking for
a parking spot.

Where were you earlier,
around 6:00 p.m.?

I was on an
eight-hour flight home

from Berlin.

I was there on business.

Look, I'm not a killer.

I run a global
security consortium.

I met Andrea last
year when she hired me

to do a security assessment.

She hired you to advise
one of her clients?

No, she hired me.

Single woman in the city,

wanted to be as
safe as she could.

I liked her.

Wound up hiring her to help
me find a new apartment.

- You two date?
- We had dinner one night.

Went well.

A few days later, we were
looking at a penthouse,

and I must have
misread her signals.

I tried to kiss her,
and she freaked out.

I moved on. End of story.

But then she kept
on telling people

I attacked her,
impugning my character,

which was sort of funny
given what she was willing

to do to make herself famous.

I just found a video on one
of those celebrity porn sites.

Celebrity?

Was Andrea Fenton
that well-known?

No, but her clients were.

So the time stamp
puts this at 5:19 p.m.

on the night of the murder,

and it was uploaded
just a few hours

after Andrea was killed.

Yeah, that's definitely Andrea.

That's Max Quattro's
living room.

But she's not with Max Quattro.

Son of a bitch.

- Robbie McDougall.
- Agent Falcon.

We just talked to him yesterday.

We asked him specifically
had he had sex with Andrea.

He said no.

Well, I guess Agent Falcon
has some explaining to do.

Oh, yeah, baby,
come on top of me.

- Oh, you like that?
- Yeah.

Robbie, Robbie, Robbie.

And here you told us
that you'd never been

romantically
involved with Andrea.

Why'd you lie?

I guess I didn't think
it was important.

OK, look, she was cute.

We'd been touring houses
together for a while.

At some point,
things got physical.

OK, there's nothing
wrong with that.

Why not just tell us?

Andrea didn't know it,
but I'm still married.

I've been trying to
reconcile with my wife.

And honestly, I can't
afford any bad press.

We're not the morality police.

We're interested in
who made that video.

And who posted it.

- 'Cause it wasn't Andrea.
- She was already dead.

Well, it sure as hell wasn't me.

Well, it sure as
hell was somebody.

Maybe somebody else
was in the house,

- somebody you're protecting.
- No, man. I swear.

I want to know who made that
video as much as you do.

You mean the security company.

Quattro hired to
monitor his alarm system

was actually spying on him?

It took some unraveling,
but Computer Crimes

was able to trace
the IP address.

One of the employees must
have hacked into the system.

Hold on a second.

You're saying that the homeowner

turned off the camera
and that someone

- could still tune in and watch?
- It's possible.

Wait. But wouldn't there
be one of those red lights

on the camera indicating
that it's still active?

You'd think so, but
not necessarily.

Someone hacked in
and then uploaded

- the video to the internet.
- OK.

So then the only good
news is that if this creep

was watching the sex,

maybe there's a chance he
was watching the murder.

We need to know who had
access to the system

covering 38 East 86th Street

November 26th, between
noon and midnight.

Let me check the database.

Monitor for that area
is George Shavers.

Uh, third row, that
desk on the right.

Yeah, Jalen, that's him.

- I got him.
- Where does this stairwell go?

The parking garage.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Stay in your car.

Stay in the car.
Stay in the car.

Get back inside.
Get back inside.

NYPD! Stop! Stop! Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Out of the car!

Out of the car now!

Get out of the car.

Don't face me.

On your knees. On your knees!

Hands behind your head.

You good?

Yeah, I'm good.

Get up.

Yeah, I watch people
every now and then.

It's a security company.

This is a victimless crime, man.

Victimless?

You violated people's privacy.

Then sold the videos.

I work a minimum wage job.

- Do you know what that's like?
- Yeah.

So I see something good
on a monitor, I record it,

and I sell it to
one of the sites.

We just want to know
what you know about

Andrea Fenton's
murder. That's it.

You have a video of Andrea
and McDougall having sex.

Less than an hour
later, she's killed,

so we suspect that
you saw that too.

Do you think this is some
kind of game, George?

Is that what's going on here?

We've already got you
on illegal wiretapping.

But I am more than
happy to throw in

attempted vehicular homicide
for your little stunt

in the garage there.

Maybe obstruction,
accessory to murder.

This sounding good to you?

I saw the guy and
the lady arguing.

What did they say?

I don't know.

I could make out a few words,
something like sills or bills

or some guy named
Bill. I don't know.

What did you see?

Lady pulled out her
phone like she was

gonna make a call, and
he grabbed her purse.

- He reached for her purse?
- Yeah.

He reached inside,
he pulled out a gun,

- and he shot her.
- And where's the video?

I didn't record it.

How many times
did the guy shoot?

Once.

Where'd the bullet strike her?

In the chest.

How far apart were they?

They were really close.

And why didn't you do anything?

Like what?

Like call 911 like
a normal person.

Would have been a little hard
to explain the circumstances.

Can you describe the
man who shot Andrea?

Yeah, he's a white dude,

maybe like, 25 years
old, 6 feet tall,

dirty blonde hair, athletic.

NYPD, open up.

How you doing?

What the hell?

This authorizes us to
search the premises.

But I didn't do anything.

I'd never hurt Andrea.

Then why'd you pay
the restaurant hostess

to make up an alibi?

Yeah.

Would you watch
our friend, please.

Luke.

Now, why is all this
blood on your pants?

- That's not blood, it's paint.
- Yeah, we'll see about that.

Bag it anyway.

These bags look pretty
stuffed here too.

You planning on going someplace?

My parents have a
place in the Hamptons.

I was just gonna go
chill for a few days.

- Lucky you.
- Now you're chilling at the 2-7.

Hands behind your back.

Cuff him.

Luke Hines, you're under arrest

for the murder of Andrea Fenton.

I've been getting phone
calls all morning.

The defendant's father had
some influential friends,

including the head
of Homeland Security.

Wants to know why we're
prosecuting young men

with no prior record
based solely on the word

of an accused felon.

Well, we're not
flying blind here.

George Shavers' testimony is
corroborated by the evidence.

Do you have evidence of motive?

Not yet.

The jury will be looking
for an explanation.

Why?

Why did Luke Hines suddenly want

to kill his mentor, his boss?

Is there any indication that
the victim and the defendant

- were involved romantically?
- No.

By all accounts, she was more
like a mother figure to him.

Could he have been jealous

of Ms. Fenton's
financial success?

I doubt it. He comes from money.

By his own admission, she
was showing him the ropes.

She was helping him get
his career off the ground.

Something was going
on between them.

Our eyewitness says he
heard Luke and Andrea

argue before Luke shot her.

What exactly did he hear?

Couldn't make out all the words,

but he says it was
about sills or bills.

Bills?

Did you go through each
of their financials?

We did a forensic audit.

We didn't find
anything abnormal.

Could it have something to do
with billings or commissions?

It's possible.

Talk to the head of Ms.
Fenton's real estate firm.

See if they can
shed light on this.

I have no idea what
Andrea and Luke

could have been arguing about.

Did you have the
sense that there was

any tension between them?

No, nothing comes to mind.

I really wish I could help you.

Sure.

I understand.

I'm just gonna need you
to sign an affidavit.

An affidavit?

Just a formality.

I need you to swear under the
pains and penalties of perjury

that there were no problems
between Andrea and Luke,

and that Luke was
a model employee.

Look, I can't swear that
they never had a problem.

I mean, people aren't perfect.

Excuse me?

Well, there were
some complaints.

What kind of complaints?

A couple of Andrea's
clients called,

said that prescription
medications

were missing from their
homes after their showings.

Luke Hines was stealing drugs?

No one actually saw
him take anything.

Then why do you
think it was Luke?

Well, the thefts
happened after Luke

started working for Andrea,

and he was in the house
every time it happened.

Did you talk to
anyone about this?

I talked to Andrea.

Why didn't you call the police?

Luke's parents are
wealthy clients

with influential friends, and
I didn't want to rock the boat.

Plus, I didn't want
word to get out.

Clients need to feel safe
with realtors in their homes.

And Andrea said she'd handle it.

Hey.

I went through
Andrea's clients list.

So far, I've been able to verify

that five people complained
about missing drugs

after a showing.

What types of drugs
are we talking about?

Opioids, codeine,
OxyContin, tramadol.

So I made some phone calls,
looked into Luke's history.

It turns out he did
a stint in rehab

his senior year of college.

Doctor says he was
addicted to painkillers.

Then we have our motive

and our intent.

The evidence in this case

will show that on the
evening of November 26th,

the defendant and Andrea
Fenton were in a client's home.

They got into a heated argument.

Ms. Fenton discovered that the
defendant had been stealing

narcotics from her clients,

and she confronted
him about that.

She picked up her phone in
an effort to turn him in.

The defendant grabbed
Ms. Fenton's handgun

from her purse,
pointed it at her,

and shot her at
point blank range.

Members of the
jury, this is a case

of intentional,
premeditated murder,

and the defendant must
be held accountable

for what he has done.

Mr. Price is correct
about one thing.

This case is about drugs,

but my client wasn't
the one seeking them.

The evidence will show
that Andrea Fenton

was a recovering addict.

She had been clean and
sober for several months,

but on the night she died,
she was about to relapse.

Objection.

There is no evidence to
support this outrageous claim.

Overruled.

Sit down, Mr. Price.

Here's what really
happened on November 26th.

Luke came to pick Andrea
up from her showing,

found her looking
through cabinets.

She was looking for drugs.

It was Andrea, not Luke,
who was stealing drugs

from her client.

Your Honor, I have to object.

You had your turn, sir.

Luke startled Andrea and
it all unfolded quickly.

Andrea grabbed her
illegally procured handgun

and pointed it at him.

Luke, in fear for his life,
went to take the gun from her,

and in the struggle,
the gun went off.

This is not a case of
intentional murder.

This is an unfortunate
case of self-defense.

Their claim of self-defense
is a complete fabrication.

And if that isn't bad
enough, they're denigrating

the reputation of the victim

claiming that she
was a deranged,

murderous, drug addict?

How are you gonna
disprove their contention?

I can counter the
self-defense allegation

with George Shavers.

He claims that he saw Luke Hines

take the gun from Andrea's
purse and shoot her.

Will Shavers come
across as credible?

He's not the most
upstanding citizen.

He was committing
an illegal wiretap

when he saw the shooting.

But we've... we've
had worse witnesses.

Hardly sounds encouraging.

It is what it is.

What about the allegations
that Andrea was using drugs?

That is trickier.

Obviously, she's not
here to defend herself

or her reputation.

Well, we don't need to
defend her reputation.

We just have to defend
her state of mind

on the night she was murdered.

Mr. McDougall, were you with
Andrea Fenton on November 26th

- of last year?
- I was.

She showed me a house
that was for sale.

At some point that
evening, did the two of you

become romantically involved?

Yeah. Yeah.

We... we had sex.

Were you able to make
observations about Ms. Fenton

during this romantic encounter?

I suppose.

Could you describe
her state of mind?

Did she appear anxious

or upset about anything?

Seemed fine. Totally normal.

Did she appear to be
under the influence

- of alcohol or drugs?
- No.

I would never take advantage
of someone like that.

Did she appear to be suffering

from any kinds of symptoms
of withdrawal from drugs?

I wouldn't have been
intimate with someone

going through withdrawal.

Did she mention that she
was looking to find drugs?

No, she did not.

Thank you.

No further questions.

You're no stranger to
mind-altering substances,

- are you, Mr. McDougall?
- Objection.

- Relevance.
- Overruled.

- I've smoked marijuana.
- So what? It's legal.

Ever do drugs with
Andrea Fenton?

- Objection.
- The objection is overruled.

I'll repeat the question.

Have you and Andrea Fenton
ever done drugs together?

We may have smoked
pot a few times,

and we did cocaine one night,

two or three years ago.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

There's no way around it.

The success or
failure of this case

now rests wholly
on the credibility

of a voyeuristic oddball
named George Shavers.

What time are you
scheduled to meet him?

Detective Shaw is supposed
to bring him by the office

in an hour.

What is it?

Shaw just texted me.

George Shavers was arrested.

For what?

Trafficking in
child pornography.

He sold pictures of Quattro's
14-year-old daughter

to an undercover cop.

Seized his computer and
found a treasure trove

of pornographic videos
of other young teens.

So much for oddball.

He's vile.

But right now he's still our
only chance at a conviction.

You're not still thinking
about putting him

in front of a jury.

What's our alternative?

I... I think this
case is beyond repair.

We need to offer a plea.

If you're willing to plead
guilty to manslaughter,

we'll recommend
you serve 15 years.

15 years in prison?

- You killed someone.
- You realize that, right?

If you're convicted of
murder, you're facing life.

We have an eyewitness.

You mean the pedophile.

Can you make it 10?

15 is as low as I can go.

Then I'm gonna pass.

See you in court.

Mr. Shavers, in spite
of the recent charges,

we still need you to
testify in the murder trial

- against Luke Hines.
- What do I get in return?

We are prepared to drop

the illegal wiretapping charges.

Come on.

Illegal wiretap charges
are a Class C felony.

He's likely to get
probation and a fine.

- What are you looking for?
- Immunity.

For the pornography charge.

That's not gonna happen.

You sold sex videos of kids.

It's not something you
just get to walk away from.

Well, then, I guess
you must not need

my testimony to win your case.

There is possibly a world

where we can negotiate
a lesser sentence.

No.

Make it go away, or
I will not testify.

I guess we're done here.

You're not actually considering

giving him immunity, are you?

Can you win your murder
case without his testimony?

That's the thing.

I don't see how I can refute
the self-defense claim

without him.

Much as I hate the idea, I
think we have to entertain

giving Shavers the deal.

And can you live with that?

I can't.

So you'd rather let
a murderer walk?

I obviously detest
what Luke Hines did,

and I think he
should be punished.

But?

But Luke Hines didn't
wake up that morning

looking to shoot someone.

He isn't a hardened murderer.

He's a pathetic drug addict
who was probably high on drugs

or suffering from withdrawals.

He shot someone in cold blood.

He acted with intent
and malice aforethought.

I get it.

But to me, George Shavers poses
a bigger danger to the public.

I'm acutely aware of the issues

surrounding George Shavers.

I have a granddaughter
Zoey Quattro's age.

Sometimes

we have to make
unpopular decisions.

Will your jury even believe
George Shavers' testimony?

He is reprehensible,
but I believe

he will come across as credible.

You better make sure of that.

Is it true?

You're gonna let this freak
back out on the streets?

Mr. Quattro, I
understand your anger.

He was spying on
my daughter, OK?

She's 14, man.

I have no choice.

That's a cop out
and you know it.

Maybe, but he is
the only eyewitness

we have in this murder case.

Thank you for everything.

I appreciate what you're doing.

Mr. Shavers, what were
you doing on November 26th

at approximately 6:00 p.m.?

I was working,

monitoring home
security systems.

Were you also engaged
in illegal activity?

I guess you could
say I was spying.

I had turned on some
home cameras and watched.

Did you see something happen
at the home of Max Quattro?

Yeah, I saw that guy
arguing with the woman

something about sills
or bills or something.

I don't know, couldn't hear.

Could it have been about pills?

Objection. Leading.

Sustained. Watch
yourself, Mr. Price.

What happened next?

She was on a call, and
that dude was very mad.

And he grabbed a bag, like a

like a woman's purse.

And he pulled out a gun.

And then he said something
and she turned around,

and he just shot her.

Did it appear to be an accident?

Definitely not.

And Ms. Fenton isn't the
one who pulled out the gun?

No.

That's all I have.

November 26th was
a busy day for you,

- wasn't it, Mr. Shavers?
- Excuse me?

Well, you managed to
hack into Max Quattro's

home security system
and record Andrea Fenton

having sex with
one of her clients.

I did.

And you also managed to record

a naked 14-year-old girl.

That is true.

And after you were caught
with child pornography,

you came to Mr. Price
and asked for a deal.

Objection.

Attorney Dean is
misstating the facts.

Overruled.

Mr. Price told you that if
you help convict my client,

he would give you immunity
for illegal wiretapping

and trafficking in
child pornography.

That means that you
can never be prosecuted

for what you've done.

Did I get that right?

I still saw what I saw.

Well, we have no way
of verifying that

because, conveniently,
you didn't record it.

I have nothing further
for this witness.

Redirect, Your Honor.

Mr. Shavers, when you
first met with police,

they didn't tell you the
gun was in her purse.

- You told them, right?
- Yes.

They didn't tell you how many
shots were fired, did they?

Nope.

You told them it was one shot.

That's right.

When you made your
initial statement,

you weren't offered anything.

There was no deal on the
table at that time, was there?

Not back then, no.

I have nothing further.

You did great,

but the jury isn't
buying his story.

Not yet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Andrea Fenton hired
someone to protect her,

and he turned around
and killed her.

How do we know this?

Because George
Shavers saw it happen.

Now I'm sure most
of you are thinking,

"George Shavers, you want
me to believe that man?"

Yes, I do.

I am as disgusted by
Mr. Shavers as you are,

but I implore you,

don't take your
disgust out on Andrea,

and don't let Luke Hines

be the beneficiary of
Shavers' perversions.

The best way to decide this case

is to take a step back,

assess whether or not Shavers'
testimony makes sense.

Did he see what he said he saw

at the time he made
his statements?

Did he have any reason to lie?

That's how you should
reach your verdict.

And I am confident
that when you take

a dispassionate, reasoned
look at the evidence,

you will reach a fair
and just verdict.

You will find Luke
Hines guilty of murder.

Members of the jury, have
you reached a verdict?

We have.

In the matter of People
versus Luke Hines,

how do you find?

We find the defendant
guilty of murder

in the second degree.

Thank you for your service.

You are excused.

Mr. Price?

Thank you.
