1
00:00:00,543 --> 00:00:03,504
Narrator: In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented
2
00:00:03,671 --> 00:00:06,132
by two separate yet
equally important groups…
3
00:00:06,298 --> 00:00:08,009
The police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:10,886
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,053 --> 00:00:13,347
These are their stories.
6
00:00:51,302 --> 00:00:52,928
Announcer: Next
stop, 14th Street.
7
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:54,472
Change for the uptown local.
8
00:02:06,377 --> 00:02:09,130
Announcer: Next
stop, 23rd Street.
9
00:02:19,557 --> 00:02:21,016
Let me through!
10
00:02:24,103 --> 00:02:25,771
Out of the way! Come on!
11
00:02:33,362 --> 00:02:34,780
Cop: Come on, come on!
12
00:02:47,084 --> 00:02:50,212
Station 45? We have a
shooting in car number seven.
13
00:04:20,427 --> 00:04:22,221
I heard there was two.
14
00:04:22,388 --> 00:04:24,056
One's still down there.
15
00:04:24,223 --> 00:04:27,184
They got two detectives
coming down right now.
16
00:04:31,230 --> 00:04:33,065
Patrolman: How
you doing, fellas?
17
00:04:40,781 --> 00:04:42,491
Where are we going, Joe?
18
00:04:42,658 --> 00:04:44,159
He's right over there.
19
00:04:49,248 --> 00:04:51,250
Looks like we're in here.
20
00:04:58,882 --> 00:05:00,592
How's this one?
21
00:05:00,759 --> 00:05:03,345
He's okay. Guy doesn't
look so good to me.
22
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:05,431
You're right, he'd
look better dead…
23
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:08,183
One less jerk
with a screwdriver.
24
00:05:08,350 --> 00:05:11,020
You see the shooter?
25
00:05:11,186 --> 00:05:13,105
I did.
26
00:05:13,439 --> 00:05:15,357
Could you describe him for me?
27
00:05:15,524 --> 00:05:16,525
Her.
28
00:05:16,692 --> 00:05:18,360
Her?
29
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:20,738
What did she look like?
30
00:05:20,904 --> 00:05:23,073
A ballerina.
31
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:24,616
A ballerina?
32
00:05:24,783 --> 00:05:26,660
Oh, yeah.
33
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:30,122
Talk about your
"nutcracker," huh?
34
00:05:39,214 --> 00:05:41,175
You Jones?
35
00:05:42,426 --> 00:05:44,386
How you feeling?
36
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:46,180
I didn't do nothing.
37
00:05:46,347 --> 00:05:49,433
Of course you didn't, Michael…
you're a newborn babe.
38
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,478
What you want with me?
Your speedy recovery,
39
00:05:52,644 --> 00:05:54,730
so you might have a
happy productive life.
40
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:57,066
Actually…
41
00:05:58,067 --> 00:06:00,069
we're on your side, Michael.
42
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:02,279
Why'd she shoot you?
43
00:06:02,446 --> 00:06:04,490
I don't know, man.
44
00:06:06,784 --> 00:06:09,286
The chick must be
going crazy or something.
45
00:06:09,453 --> 00:06:11,663
What did Darnell do, then?
46
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:12,998
Nothing.
47
00:06:13,165 --> 00:06:14,958
Nothing?
48
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:17,127
We heard he was coming
onto her pretty strong.
49
00:06:17,294 --> 00:06:20,047
Whoever told you that is lying.
50
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:22,716
My partner asked
her for some apple…
51
00:06:22,883 --> 00:06:25,010
and she shot him.
52
00:06:25,177 --> 00:06:26,220
It's that simple.
53
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:28,889
Asked, or demanded?
54
00:06:29,056 --> 00:06:30,891
Asked.
55
00:06:31,058 --> 00:06:33,727
Besides, why'd
she shoot me, huh?
56
00:06:33,894 --> 00:06:36,063
I didn't do a damn thing to her.
57
00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:39,149
I was just sitting down
doing nothing, man.
58
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:44,988
Listen, Michael,
now listen real good.
59
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:48,784
If the lady popped you two
'cause you were "mau-mauing" her,
60
00:06:48,951 --> 00:06:50,869
and they put her on trial,
61
00:06:51,036 --> 00:06:52,496
I'll testify for her.
62
00:06:52,663 --> 00:06:54,373
But if you're
telling the truth…
63
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,917
If you're telling the truth
I'll haul her into that court
64
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,586
and nail her for
attempted murder.
65
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:02,756
I am telling the truth.
66
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:07,469
Like I got a real good
chance of proving it.
67
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:16,019
Got a bleeder here.
Hemostat. Here you go.
68
00:07:16,186 --> 00:07:17,938
Tie him off. Come on,
come on. Get the lead out.
69
00:07:18,105 --> 00:07:19,231
Doctor: What's the hurry?
70
00:07:19,398 --> 00:07:21,358
This guy won't be
running a marathon.
71
00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:23,193
Nurse: Can you see all right?
72
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:26,363
Wrap it up.
73
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:33,745
Cragen: You recover a slug?
74
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:37,082
Two. One in the subway,
one in Chenault's lower back.
75
00:07:37,249 --> 00:07:39,585
Cragen: That's a start.
Any leads on the gunman?
76
00:07:39,751 --> 00:07:41,003
Gunwoman.
77
00:07:42,421 --> 00:07:44,089
Gunperson.
78
00:07:44,256 --> 00:07:45,591
A lot of phone calls.
79
00:07:45,757 --> 00:07:47,092
Uh-huh. Who from?
80
00:07:47,259 --> 00:07:49,636
Bunch of psycho
sisters. Each one…
81
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,263
claiming to be the
"Avenging Angel."
82
00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:53,223
Oh great, that is great.
83
00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:55,934
Who's calling her that?
It's already on the radio.
84
00:07:56,101 --> 00:07:57,936
Why do you think we're
getting all these volunteers?
85
00:07:58,103 --> 00:07:59,438
Maybe they can relate to her.
86
00:07:59,605 --> 00:08:01,773
They'd like to peddle their
life story to the highest bidder.
87
00:08:01,940 --> 00:08:03,525
I don't want the press
going into a feeding frenzy.
88
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:07,446
You mean, like, "Babe
to punks: Drop dead"?
89
00:08:07,613 --> 00:08:08,780
Maybe we should deputize her.
90
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:10,532
Just find her.
91
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:14,995
Woman: Positive…
he was grinding himself
92
00:08:15,162 --> 00:08:16,538
right in that woman's face.
93
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,582
What about the other
one? He was just as bad,
94
00:08:18,749 --> 00:08:21,168
but I kept my attention on the
one who was pushing on her.
95
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:24,171
Are you willing to testify in
court to what you've told us?
96
00:08:24,338 --> 00:08:25,964
Of course.
97
00:08:26,131 --> 00:08:29,676
A lot of people develop
short-term memory loss these days.
98
00:08:29,843 --> 00:08:31,470
I'm not afraid of
punks like that.
99
00:08:31,637 --> 00:08:33,847
I dealt with worse
when I taught fifth grade.
100
00:08:34,014 --> 00:08:36,183
Mrs. Hastings,
101
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:39,186
the woman who did the shooting,
102
00:08:39,353 --> 00:08:41,396
she's the one that
we're looking for.
103
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:43,649
Well, you shouldn't
be. When you find her
104
00:08:43,815 --> 00:08:46,026
I hope she gets a medal.
105
00:08:48,654 --> 00:08:52,449
"Midtown Dance Club."
I think that's what it was.
106
00:08:52,616 --> 00:08:54,826
"Manhattan."
107
00:08:54,993 --> 00:08:56,828
You have good eyes.
You got to pay attention…
108
00:08:56,995 --> 00:08:59,373
Chaz… That's how
come I seen the ice pick.
109
00:08:59,540 --> 00:09:01,667
Ice pick? What ice pick?
110
00:09:01,833 --> 00:09:03,877
The one with the Yankees cap.
111
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:05,712
Look, I'm a Mets fan,
I hate the Yankees,
112
00:09:05,879 --> 00:09:08,382
and he's waving an ice pick.
I'm thinking, "What's this for?
113
00:09:08,549 --> 00:09:10,842
It's all automatic
ice cubes now."
114
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:12,928
We heard it was a screwdriver.
115
00:09:13,095 --> 00:09:16,306
I seen what I seen.
116
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:21,270
You really think we
like these two dirtbags?
117
00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:22,729
So what's your problem?
118
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:26,066
Shooting people you
don't like is a big problem.
119
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:28,318
Unless you're
defending your own self.
120
00:09:28,485 --> 00:09:31,738
Are you saying it was
self-defense? I seen what I seen.
121
00:09:36,910 --> 00:09:39,997
Why do I get the feeling
we're on the wrong side here?
122
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:41,707
'Cause you're
thinking like a civilian.
123
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:44,334
Oh yeah, right. I
should've known better.
124
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:45,794
Hey, don't worry, Max,
125
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:48,005
next time I'll be a
good little German.
126
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:49,881
You got a wise mouth.
127
00:09:50,048 --> 00:09:51,216
Oh yeah? Yeah.
128
00:09:51,383 --> 00:09:53,969
What, you want every fruitcake
on the BMT packing six on his hip?
129
00:09:54,136 --> 00:09:56,013
'Course I don't want
that, I just think those…
130
00:09:56,179 --> 00:09:57,472
Don't think!
131
00:09:57,639 --> 00:09:59,308
The city ain't a free-fire zone.
132
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:02,811
Gimme a…
133
00:10:02,978 --> 00:10:05,022
turn, turn,
134
00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:07,524
and port de bras.
135
00:10:08,817 --> 00:10:11,028
Okay, let's take five.
136
00:10:12,404 --> 00:10:14,072
Miss Putterman? Mm-hmm.
137
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,116
I'm Detective Logan.
I called you before.
138
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:18,577
Yes, I told you, it
sounds like Laura di Biasi.
139
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:19,745
You got her address?
140
00:10:19,911 --> 00:10:22,289
What do I look
like, a phone book?
141
00:10:22,456 --> 00:10:23,999
In Manhattan.
142
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:26,460
Okay, everybody,
let's take it again.
143
00:10:26,627 --> 00:10:28,920
Logan: Yes, I am aware…
144
00:10:29,087 --> 00:10:31,048
Okay, I'm aware it's unlisted.
145
00:10:31,214 --> 00:10:34,051
I told you for the 10th
time, I'm a police officer.
146
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:36,511
Let's get this straight…
Detective Mike Logan,
147
00:10:36,678 --> 00:10:38,680
Badge number nine…
148
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:41,224
Warrant, huh? Warrant
this, lady, all right?
149
00:10:41,391 --> 00:10:43,477
I need a warrant, it's going
to take me three hours.
150
00:10:43,644 --> 00:10:45,687
Now you listen to
me. You listen to me!
151
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:49,316
Hold on.
152
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:55,155
Hi. To whom am I
speaking, please?
153
00:10:57,199 --> 00:10:59,159
Hello, Miss Schweder,
154
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,286
this is Sergeant Greevey.
155
00:11:01,453 --> 00:11:03,789
Could you connect me with
your central office supervisor?
156
00:11:03,955 --> 00:11:05,957
Maybe we can
straighten some of this out.
157
00:11:07,626 --> 00:11:09,670
Thank you so much.
158
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:12,005
Max: Chenault's got
priors up the ying-yang.
159
00:11:12,172 --> 00:11:14,508
Nothing on Jones. Nothing?
160
00:11:14,675 --> 00:11:18,303
Computer came up with 12
felons named "Michael Jones,"
161
00:11:18,470 --> 00:11:20,681
"Michael J., Michael Ray"…
162
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:22,808
"Michael T."
163
00:11:22,974 --> 00:11:24,976
I hate walk-ups.
164
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:26,812
No positive make on our own
165
00:11:26,978 --> 00:11:29,231
"Michael
no-middle-initial Jones."
166
00:11:29,398 --> 00:11:31,358
Zippo.
167
00:11:31,525 --> 00:11:33,777
Nobody home…
168
00:11:33,944 --> 00:11:35,654
Down the stairs.
169
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:41,034
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
170
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:47,791
Ahem! Oh!
171
00:11:47,958 --> 00:11:50,419
Excuse me. It's all right,
ma'am. We're the police.
172
00:11:50,585 --> 00:11:52,879
Do you know where the
lady who lives there is?
173
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:54,840
Miss di Biasi?
174
00:11:55,006 --> 00:11:56,967
She works at
Murray Hill Hospital.
175
00:11:57,134 --> 00:11:58,677
Man: I'm the Chief
Administrator in this place,
176
00:11:58,844 --> 00:12:00,095
and I've told you twice…
177
00:12:00,262 --> 00:12:02,848
You don't discuss personnel.
178
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:05,892
I'm telling you, I'm not
interested in a discussion!
179
00:12:06,059 --> 00:12:08,353
I want to know where she is!
180
00:12:13,692 --> 00:12:15,777
She's working in Radiology.
181
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:19,406
Miss di Biasi?
182
00:12:19,573 --> 00:12:22,242
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
183
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:24,745
We'd like to ask
you a few questions.
184
00:12:26,246 --> 00:12:29,541
Yeah, I imagine you would.
185
00:12:31,835 --> 00:12:33,044
I felt threatened.
186
00:12:33,211 --> 00:12:35,464
Max: It's a threatening city.
187
00:12:35,630 --> 00:12:38,425
I felt I had to defend
myself. Is that a crime?
188
00:12:38,592 --> 00:12:40,260
That's what we're
trying to determine.
189
00:12:40,427 --> 00:12:43,054
Why'd you run?
190
00:12:43,221 --> 00:12:45,140
Because I was freaked out.
191
00:12:45,307 --> 00:12:47,726
Okay, we can appreciate that,
192
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:50,771
but where'd you get the gun?
193
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:52,689
Somebody gave it to
me. Logan: Boyfriend?
194
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:55,400
Somebody. I don't
know, it was years ago.
195
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:57,402
Meaning it's
probably unlicensed.
196
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:04,159
Logan: Okay…
197
00:13:04,326 --> 00:13:05,535
what did you do with it?
198
00:13:05,702 --> 00:13:07,704
I guess I threw it. "Guess"?
199
00:13:07,871 --> 00:13:10,248
I dropped it down
there. In the subway?
200
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:11,875
Yeah.
201
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:15,462
Listen, are you sure you
don't want to call your lawyer?
202
00:13:15,629 --> 00:13:17,297
My lawyer?
203
00:13:17,464 --> 00:13:20,675
Do I look like I could afford
to have a personal lawyer?
204
00:13:20,842 --> 00:13:23,929
Anyway, I don't need one. I
haven't done anything wrong.
205
00:13:24,095 --> 00:13:25,972
I wouldn't count on that.
206
00:13:33,104 --> 00:13:36,608
Are you arresting me?
207
00:13:39,236 --> 00:13:41,404
Not at the present time.
208
00:13:41,571 --> 00:13:43,782
But if we do arrest you,
209
00:13:43,949 --> 00:13:47,118
a lawyer will be provided
for you at no cost.
210
00:13:55,168 --> 00:13:57,045
Why are we busting her chops?
211
00:13:57,212 --> 00:13:58,296
That the way you see it?
212
00:13:58,463 --> 00:14:00,131
Two kids jump her on the subway,
213
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:01,800
she defends herself, okay?
214
00:14:01,967 --> 00:14:03,510
We're not talking about
"Squeaky" Fromme here.
215
00:14:03,677 --> 00:14:05,470
We don't know that. We don't?
216
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:08,473
Look, she did the shooting,
that makes her the perp.
217
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,433
That's all I know.
218
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,727
What, you want to
do her or something?
219
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:14,729
Hey, hey…
220
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:16,606
It's all that simple, huh?
221
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:18,024
When it comes to
the law, it better be.
222
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:19,818
Jones doesn't
even have a record.
223
00:14:19,985 --> 00:14:21,736
He say he was sitting
down when she shot him.
224
00:14:21,903 --> 00:14:25,365
Yeah, and he's such an
innocent-looking guy, Max.
225
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:27,450
Oh, that's terrific.
226
00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:30,787
"You're under arrest
for looking guilty."
227
00:14:30,954 --> 00:14:32,414
That's a cheap shot.
228
00:14:32,581 --> 00:14:35,166
The hell it is. That kind of
thinking, you can't do the job.
229
00:14:35,333 --> 00:14:37,627
When it comes to the
law, everybody's the same.
230
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:40,338
That's when it works…
When everybody's the same.
231
00:14:40,505 --> 00:14:42,841
It's like football…
You hold somebody,
232
00:14:43,008 --> 00:14:44,384
you get caught, it's a penalty.
233
00:14:44,551 --> 00:14:46,052
Doesn't matter
whether you're Billy Sims
234
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,138
or some rookie for
East Podunk State.
235
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:55,395
Max: She admitted that
she did the shooting…
236
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:57,772
It's on videotape.
237
00:14:57,939 --> 00:15:00,984
She also says, "Yes, I wanted
to kill them, to hurt them."
238
00:15:01,151 --> 00:15:03,653
Isn't that enough? You want
to arrest her on the Sullivan?
239
00:15:03,820 --> 00:15:06,406
A gun charge is pretty
lame, don't you think?
240
00:15:06,573 --> 00:15:08,241
It's still mandatory jail time.
241
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:12,579
She fired into a crowded
subway car, for God's sakes!
242
00:15:12,746 --> 00:15:13,955
You want to go for
attempted murder,
243
00:15:14,122 --> 00:15:15,874
you're going to need a formal
statement from the other vic…
244
00:15:16,041 --> 00:15:17,000
Mr. Chenois.
245
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:22,380
That's Chenault.
Darnell Chenault.
246
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:24,257
Whatever.
247
00:15:27,052 --> 00:15:30,305
Chenault's been
upgraded. Room 322.
248
00:15:30,472 --> 00:15:33,850
Jones? Jones is in
324, but you better hurry.
249
00:15:34,017 --> 00:15:36,019
Excuse me, ma'am.
250
00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:39,397
Dr. Garcia, pick
up your messages…
251
00:15:39,564 --> 00:15:41,399
Look here.
252
00:15:43,193 --> 00:15:44,611
Michael Jones?
253
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:46,738
Used to be.
254
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:49,783
Man: I don't want
a shot, sweetheart,
255
00:15:49,950 --> 00:15:51,451
I want to get out
of this damn bed.
256
00:15:51,618 --> 00:15:53,870
Nurse: That's not going to
happen for a while, Darnell.
257
00:15:54,037 --> 00:15:55,372
So just take it easy.
258
00:15:55,538 --> 00:15:57,540
Darnell: Take it
easy? Hey, baby,
259
00:15:57,707 --> 00:16:00,168
give me some decent drugs
if you want me to take it easy.
260
00:16:00,335 --> 00:16:02,170
Nicely, Darnell, nicely.
261
00:16:02,337 --> 00:16:04,005
What are you so upset about?
262
00:16:04,172 --> 00:16:06,758
Man, they say I'm going
to be paralyzed, man.
263
00:16:06,925 --> 00:16:10,553
Dumb mothers give me
freaking aspirin with codeine.
264
00:16:12,722 --> 00:16:14,849
You a new specialist?
265
00:16:15,016 --> 00:16:17,811
Sergeant Greevey,
Detective Logan.
266
00:16:17,978 --> 00:16:20,021
Yeah, Darnell,
just the facts, okay?
267
00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:22,524
The facts is, why'd
the bitch shoot me?!
268
00:16:22,691 --> 00:16:24,234
I didn't do nothing.
269
00:16:24,401 --> 00:16:25,986
Stone: Reckless endangerment?
270
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:29,114
That tells the jury the
girl was a little upset,
271
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,617
but so long as no innocent
bystanders were hit, there's no problem.
272
00:16:32,784 --> 00:16:34,536
There's something
to that, isn't there?
273
00:16:34,703 --> 00:16:36,454
I got a subway
full of eyewitnesses
274
00:16:36,621 --> 00:16:38,123
who claims they
saw one of the victims
275
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:39,833
accost Miss di
Biasi… Threaten her.
276
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,210
With his hand on his
crotch? With a screwdriver!
277
00:16:42,377 --> 00:16:44,129
Or with an ice-pick,
or a pick axe.
278
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:45,714
It's funny what the
eye can witness.
279
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,298
Attempted homicide.
280
00:16:47,465 --> 00:16:49,217
I know we're going to prosecute,
281
00:16:49,384 --> 00:16:50,593
but do we have to
hang her out to dry?
282
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,721
Why, so every
loophead can blast away
283
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:54,389
when someone
asks him for the time?
284
00:16:54,556 --> 00:16:56,349
Yeah, I forgot, you
guys in the DA's office
285
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:58,393
are a regular
bunch of "Carnacs."
286
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,395
You ask me, the young
gentlemen were not asking
287
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:01,896
for the time of day.
288
00:17:04,607 --> 00:17:06,943
Let us suppose, just
for the sake of argument,
289
00:17:07,110 --> 00:17:10,321
that Miss di Biasi has had
a really horrendous day,
290
00:17:10,488 --> 00:17:12,699
and someone jokingly
says, "Stick 'em up."
291
00:17:12,866 --> 00:17:16,494
She kills them. It's
not self-defense, right?
292
00:17:16,661 --> 00:17:19,122
So she's liable for
negligent homicide,
293
00:17:19,289 --> 00:17:20,540
only in this case…
294
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:22,542
in this case the guy didn't die.
295
00:17:24,044 --> 00:17:26,337
Okay, so we go for
attempted murder,
296
00:17:26,504 --> 00:17:28,131
if you're sure you
can make it stick.
297
00:17:28,298 --> 00:17:29,841
You'd better hope I can.
298
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:32,135
She walks, New
York is Dodge City.
299
00:17:32,302 --> 00:17:34,554
May I make a
suggestion? By all means.
300
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,056
Skip the "legal beagling"
301
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:38,183
and go with plain
vanilla murder two.
302
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:40,268
The coroner is determining
303
00:17:40,435 --> 00:17:42,353
the COD on Mr. Jones
304
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,148
even as we speak.
305
00:17:45,315 --> 00:17:47,525
Murder two?
306
00:17:47,692 --> 00:17:49,903
Bring her in.
307
00:17:54,199 --> 00:17:55,575
Wait a sec, huh?
308
00:18:05,585 --> 00:18:07,754
Ooh.
309
00:18:13,927 --> 00:18:15,470
Sergeant Greevey.
310
00:18:19,474 --> 00:18:21,392
Hold on.
311
00:18:23,186 --> 00:18:25,230
Relax, relax.
312
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:29,901
Just tell me what
happened, honey.
313
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:40,703
No… well, why worry
about it then, huh?
314
00:18:41,704 --> 00:18:44,666
Yeah, of course.
315
00:18:44,833 --> 00:18:47,877
We'll talk about it
later tonight, okay?
316
00:18:48,044 --> 00:18:51,297
I'll get home as soon
as possibly can, okay?
317
00:18:52,549 --> 00:18:55,135
Yeah, me too.
318
00:18:58,555 --> 00:18:59,472
What?
319
00:18:59,639 --> 00:19:02,308
It's nothing.
320
00:19:03,393 --> 00:19:05,770
Oh, I thought it
might've been something.
321
00:19:08,523 --> 00:19:10,316
Eileen got roughed up at school.
322
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:13,736
She hurt? No, you
know, just some bruises.
323
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:17,365
Is that all?
324
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:20,869
Yeah.
325
00:19:21,035 --> 00:19:23,246
Yeah, that's all.
326
00:19:25,623 --> 00:19:27,667
Come on, let's wrap this up.
327
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,211
Who did it?
328
00:19:30,378 --> 00:19:32,130
Three guys from
her basketball team.
329
00:19:32,297 --> 00:19:35,633
She ignored them so they
slammed her up against the lockers.
330
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,177
Bastards.
331
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:39,387
I wonder if Chenault
and Jones were any good.
332
00:19:39,554 --> 00:19:41,181
At what?
333
00:19:41,347 --> 00:19:43,683
Basketball.
334
00:19:46,644 --> 00:19:49,314
Don't touch me with that thing.
335
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:52,817
Max: Did you re-Miranda-ize her?
336
00:19:52,984 --> 00:19:54,319
Yeah, on the way in.
337
00:19:54,485 --> 00:19:57,071
Where's my lawyer?
Why isn't she here yet?
338
00:19:59,949 --> 00:20:02,535
The Public Defenders
have a heavy caseload.
339
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,037
She told me she'd be here.
340
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:05,580
Maybe she's stuck in traffic.
341
00:20:05,747 --> 00:20:07,665
Have a seat.
342
00:20:13,046 --> 00:20:15,256
I really…
343
00:20:15,423 --> 00:20:16,883
want a lawyer.
344
00:20:17,050 --> 00:20:18,551
I don't want to talk to you.
345
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:22,096
You understand, Miss di Biasi,
346
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:25,892
that you are charged
with negligent homicide?
347
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:28,353
And when you appear
before the judge
348
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:30,813
he'll determine
what the bail will be,
349
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:33,191
if the court decides
that you're eligible.
350
00:20:33,358 --> 00:20:34,776
Why is this woman handcuffed?
351
00:20:34,943 --> 00:20:37,528
Sorry, there was an
accident on the FDR.
352
00:20:37,695 --> 00:20:39,155
You haven't said
anything, I trust?
353
00:20:39,322 --> 00:20:41,574
"Trust" and "lawyer," that's a
pair of words that don't match.
354
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:43,451
How about "cop"
and "IQ over 90"?
355
00:20:43,618 --> 00:20:46,120
Shambala Green,
I'm Miss di Biasi's PD.
356
00:20:46,287 --> 00:20:47,956
So I gathered.
357
00:20:48,122 --> 00:20:51,251
And I ask again, why
is she handcuffed?
358
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,294
Because she's an accused killer.
359
00:20:53,461 --> 00:20:55,046
Look, Ms. Green,
360
00:20:55,213 --> 00:20:57,590
why don't you save your
attitude for the courtroom?
361
00:21:07,433 --> 00:21:09,310
Do you have a toothbrush?
362
00:21:09,477 --> 00:21:12,605
'Cause we have to take
you over to the women's side
363
00:21:12,772 --> 00:21:14,774
until you're arraigned.
364
00:21:27,245 --> 00:21:28,746
Here, Counselor,
365
00:21:28,913 --> 00:21:31,040
do something useful.
366
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:41,301
What nuance? I spelled it
out for them in black and white.
367
00:21:41,467 --> 00:21:43,928
Adam: Yup, and
therein lies the rub.
368
00:21:44,095 --> 00:21:46,222
What, the color angle?
369
00:21:46,389 --> 00:21:49,225
Forget it, Adam,
this isn't Selma.
370
00:21:49,392 --> 00:21:51,978
Neither was Howard Beach, and
you know what happened there.
371
00:21:52,145 --> 00:21:54,522
You read "The Times" poll…
Blacks favor tougher sentences
372
00:21:54,689 --> 00:21:55,940
for street crime then whites do.
373
00:21:56,107 --> 00:21:58,026
Very good.
374
00:21:58,192 --> 00:22:01,112
We've still got to worry
about the perception of racism.
375
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:02,864
Did she think these
guys were a threat
376
00:22:03,031 --> 00:22:04,574
because they
were street toughs…
377
00:22:04,741 --> 00:22:06,284
or because they were black?
378
00:22:06,451 --> 00:22:09,203
I can't answer that. All I
know is that self-defense
379
00:22:09,370 --> 00:22:11,873
requires that the response be
in direct proportion to the threat.
380
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,500
The threat as she
reasonably perceives it.
381
00:22:14,667 --> 00:22:18,129
If she thinks she
is about to be raped
382
00:22:18,296 --> 00:22:20,923
can she kill her attacker?
383
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:24,469
The law says yes, absolutely.
384
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:26,429
And what if her
perception is wrong?
385
00:22:26,596 --> 00:22:29,474
If we let her go, do you realize
what we are unleashing in this city?
386
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,268
There's always the
weapons charge.
387
00:22:33,353 --> 00:22:34,896
You can't be serious.
388
00:22:35,063 --> 00:22:37,648
If we don't prosecute, we're
creating a city of vigilantes.
389
00:22:37,815 --> 00:22:38,941
A man is dead.
390
00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:42,320
I don't need a summation.
Now what do you want?
391
00:22:42,487 --> 00:22:44,739
Permission to file a
murder indictment?
392
00:22:44,906 --> 00:22:46,532
You want to ask for deniability?
393
00:22:46,699 --> 00:22:49,827
I told you to file? Since
when do I dictate to you?
394
00:22:49,994 --> 00:22:51,454
You don't have a problem?
395
00:22:51,621 --> 00:22:54,624
It's not my problem to have.
396
00:22:57,001 --> 00:22:58,336
Robinette: No, I'm
not a policeman.
397
00:22:58,503 --> 00:22:59,962
I work for the District
Attorney's office.
398
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:01,672
What do you want to know?
399
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:03,925
Is Miss di Biasi an RN?
400
00:23:04,092 --> 00:23:06,552
No, a technician. She
used to be a dancer.
401
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:07,845
She told you that?
402
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:10,181
We're friends. She
told me about it.
403
00:23:10,348 --> 00:23:12,725
She was performing with
a modern dance company.
404
00:23:12,892 --> 00:23:14,894
I don't know if she
made a living at it.
405
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,562
But you do know what happened?
406
00:23:16,729 --> 00:23:18,356
She was attacked…
407
00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:21,651
Down in the subway, by
three youthful offenders.
408
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:24,487
After she recovered,
she came to work here.
409
00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:27,198
And what was her
reaction to the attack?
410
00:23:27,365 --> 00:23:29,450
Same as anybody's.
411
00:23:29,617 --> 00:23:33,121
She was fearful,
resentful of all the little…
412
00:23:33,996 --> 00:23:35,665
"Little" what?
413
00:23:38,626 --> 00:23:40,628
"Little black bastards"?
414
00:23:43,172 --> 00:23:45,174
You see some black
teenagers on the train,
415
00:23:45,341 --> 00:23:46,926
are you automatically
afraid of them, Miss Maltese?
416
00:23:47,093 --> 00:23:49,429
Aren't you?
417
00:23:59,981 --> 00:24:02,775
Sometimes the stereotype fits.
418
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,279
Long as the story's true.
419
00:24:06,446 --> 00:24:08,990
Cops have shot kids with screwdrivers
before. Why not a 90-pound woman?
420
00:24:09,157 --> 00:24:11,826
How threatened could she have
been? She sat down right next to them.
421
00:24:11,993 --> 00:24:13,494
She's got a right to sit
anywhere she wants.
422
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:16,581
So do the other passengers, but they
moved away because it seemed prudent.
423
00:24:16,747 --> 00:24:19,917
Maybe she was tired of getting
moved around by the mugging class.
424
00:24:20,084 --> 00:24:22,086
"The mugging class"?
425
00:24:22,253 --> 00:24:23,796
What's that about?
426
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,048
You're an Assistant
District Attorney.
427
00:24:26,215 --> 00:24:28,801
You work for the people.
428
00:24:28,968 --> 00:24:31,762
We follow the letter
of the law here.
429
00:24:31,929 --> 00:24:34,348
Go talk to Chenault.
430
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:43,065
My man tried…
431
00:24:43,232 --> 00:24:45,359
Scared her,
432
00:24:45,526 --> 00:24:47,862
maybe with a screwdriver,
433
00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:51,657
but we was just sitting there.
434
00:24:51,824 --> 00:24:53,618
Cut the crap, Darnell,
you weren't sitting,
435
00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:56,078
you were standing up in
her face… everybody says so.
436
00:24:56,245 --> 00:24:58,206
I'm sitting here now, ain't I?
437
00:24:58,372 --> 00:25:01,459
I'm going to be sitting
for the rest of my life.
438
00:25:01,626 --> 00:25:02,877
So maybe you should
lighten up on the 'tude.
439
00:25:03,044 --> 00:25:05,463
Nobody likes a
wise-ass in a wheelchair.
440
00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:08,257
Whose side you on, anyway?
441
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:12,803
Nobody's.
442
00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:14,597
I just want the truth.
443
00:25:14,764 --> 00:25:16,432
And I want payback, man.
444
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,310
Like I said, that's up to you.
445
00:25:21,312 --> 00:25:23,105
All right.
446
00:25:23,272 --> 00:25:26,359
All right… We had
the screwdrivers.
447
00:25:26,526 --> 00:25:28,945
We were going to rob some
lockers down at Grand Central.
448
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:32,156
But we was never, ever,
threatening to nobody,
449
00:25:32,323 --> 00:25:34,867
especially no white… chick.
450
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:37,036
You were unthreatening enough so
everybody was down the end of the train?
451
00:25:37,203 --> 00:25:40,748
Except her, man. She came
in and sat down right next to us.
452
00:25:40,915 --> 00:25:42,792
Now why you think that was, huh?
453
00:25:46,671 --> 00:25:50,341
Woman: Even with a court
order, it'll take three working days.
454
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:53,344
I'm afraid I can't wait. The
wheels of justice are turning.
455
00:25:53,511 --> 00:25:55,221
Don't you guys
have your own files?
456
00:25:55,388 --> 00:25:57,181
Hey, you're the paper of record.
457
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:02,603
Green: If this were a Greek
tragedy, I'd be guilty of hubris.
458
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:05,898
Public sentiment on my
side, witnesses on my side,
459
00:26:06,065 --> 00:26:08,401
precedent on self-defense
going back to the days
460
00:26:08,568 --> 00:26:10,403
of knights bashing each
other over the head with…
461
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:13,322
those whatchamacallit…
Those spiked balls…
462
00:26:13,489 --> 00:26:15,575
Maces? Maces.
463
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:17,451
Thank you. See what I mean?
464
00:26:17,618 --> 00:26:19,036
Now I am trying not to gloat,
465
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:22,164
but what have you got
on your side, Stone?
466
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:24,792
Not very much, I agree.
467
00:26:24,959 --> 00:26:27,003
Only the New York penal law.
468
00:26:27,169 --> 00:26:30,172
I don't think we have to
discuss the Sullivan statute…
469
00:26:30,339 --> 00:26:32,800
Concealed weapons have
been illegal for the past 70 years.
470
00:26:32,967 --> 00:26:34,927
The code is also clear
when it comes to self-defense.
471
00:26:35,094 --> 00:26:36,846
I'm afraid you have
not convinced me
472
00:26:37,013 --> 00:26:38,514
that your client acted in a way
473
00:26:38,681 --> 00:26:41,434
proportional to imminent
attack. Oh, come on.
474
00:26:41,601 --> 00:26:44,145
The defendant must also act in
a way that is thwarting the attack,
475
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:46,063
not inflicting grave
injury on the victim.
476
00:26:46,230 --> 00:26:47,982
Let's get it down to
single syllables, okay?
477
00:26:48,149 --> 00:26:49,900
The penal law
also clearly allows
478
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:52,570
for the use of deadly
force to repel robbery,
479
00:26:52,737 --> 00:26:53,946
kidnapping, forcible sodomy
480
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:57,074
and/or forcible rape.
481
00:26:57,241 --> 00:26:59,952
I don't see anything forcible
about it. He was only asking.
482
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:05,833
What kind of piggish
attitude is that, Counselor?
483
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,002
Are you suggesting
484
00:27:08,169 --> 00:27:11,130
that my client
was asking for it?
485
00:27:13,549 --> 00:27:16,344
Miss Green, this is
not a personal attack,
486
00:27:16,510 --> 00:27:18,012
nor an attack upon the species.
487
00:27:18,179 --> 00:27:20,222
The fact is, there may have
been some degree of threat,
488
00:27:20,389 --> 00:27:23,142
but where that becomes
attempted rape is a fine line.
489
00:27:23,309 --> 00:27:26,395
Which all too many women of
this city have been pushed across
490
00:27:26,562 --> 00:27:29,398
while they've been wondering,
"Is this really happening to me?"
491
00:27:29,565 --> 00:27:33,569
The law is our only defense
against the rapists and the shooters.
492
00:27:33,736 --> 00:27:35,905
People break it,
cops try to catch them,
493
00:27:36,072 --> 00:27:37,323
and I try to cook
them. It's my job.
494
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:40,159
Sometimes I don't
like it, but it's all we got.
495
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:44,038
Yeah.
496
00:27:45,164 --> 00:27:47,291
See you in court, Stone.
497
00:27:56,175 --> 00:28:00,137
Laura, D-I-B as in boy, I-A.
498
00:28:01,847 --> 00:28:04,433
"Letter to the editor"?
That's all you got?
499
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,018
That's it.
500
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:07,603
I owe you one.
501
00:28:07,770 --> 00:28:10,606
Robinette: "The police seemed
to treat this vicious attack
502
00:28:10,773 --> 00:28:13,234
as 'just one of those things.'
503
00:28:13,401 --> 00:28:15,277
The authorities don't
want decent people
504
00:28:15,444 --> 00:28:17,446
carrying weapons
to protect themselves.
505
00:28:17,613 --> 00:28:20,449
We agree to give up this
right on the assumption
506
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:22,535
that the police will do
the protecting for us.
507
00:28:22,702 --> 00:28:24,412
Obviously this is
no longer the case.
508
00:28:24,578 --> 00:28:26,997
Laura di Biasi, New York City."
509
00:28:28,874 --> 00:28:31,961
The seeds of premeditation.
Way to go. Yes?
510
00:28:32,128 --> 00:28:34,004
Secretary: Sergeant Greevey
and Detective Logan are here.
511
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:36,632
Send them in. Get a search
warrant for her apartment.
512
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:39,260
There may be other letters.
Some people keep copies.
513
00:28:41,095 --> 00:28:42,638
Stone: Want to run through it?
514
00:28:42,805 --> 00:28:44,807
Sure.
515
00:28:47,518 --> 00:28:51,522
Now Detective Greevey,
describe for the court, if you will,
516
00:28:51,689 --> 00:28:54,150
the accused's state of mind
when you questioned her.
517
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:55,401
She was upset.
518
00:29:02,658 --> 00:29:04,493
She said she intended
519
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:07,371
to "blow their heads
off," if necessary.
520
00:29:08,831 --> 00:29:10,791
Was that a question?
521
00:29:13,502 --> 00:29:15,796
Are we in the same room, Max?
522
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:19,675
Look, we both know
what went down.
523
00:29:19,842 --> 00:29:21,302
She was scared
half out of her wits
524
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:23,512
by those… two perps.
525
00:29:23,679 --> 00:29:26,766
Vi c t i m s, Max. Victims.
What's going on?
526
00:29:26,932 --> 00:29:28,267
Meaning what?
527
00:29:28,434 --> 00:29:30,728
Meaning you were gung-ho
about this before. What's happened?
528
00:29:37,485 --> 00:29:40,154
Michael Jones, the dead v i c t i m,
529
00:29:40,321 --> 00:29:42,823
the one the computer
boys said was so clean
530
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:44,784
you could eat off of him? Yeah?
531
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:48,579
The coroner sent out his
fingerprints on a hunch,
532
00:29:48,746 --> 00:29:50,748
just to see, you
know, for the hell of it.
533
00:29:50,915 --> 00:29:54,627
Turns out his real
name's Michael Mosket!
534
00:29:54,794 --> 00:29:56,879
Whoa… "Mosquito Mosket"?
535
00:29:57,046 --> 00:29:58,547
Yeah, ring a bell?
536
00:29:58,714 --> 00:30:01,175
Attempted murder,
negligent homicide?
537
00:30:01,342 --> 00:30:04,178
Two years at Spofford when
he was 14 for manslaughter?
538
00:30:04,345 --> 00:30:06,138
Real winner, this kid.
539
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:09,141
This is really going to
win us points with the jury.
540
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:10,601
They take one look at him,
541
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:13,479
they figure the little bastard
got just what he deserved.
542
00:30:13,646 --> 00:30:16,232
That's how you figure it,
Max? I remember Mosket.
543
00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:19,235
That was all gang-related.
There was no sex involved!
544
00:30:19,401 --> 00:30:20,820
Now as far as I read it,
545
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:23,322
that girl was revenging
the earlier attack,
546
00:30:23,489 --> 00:30:25,658
and self-defense does
not allow for revenge!
547
00:30:25,825 --> 00:30:28,285
The law allowed Michael
Mosket to walk free.
548
00:30:28,452 --> 00:30:31,163
Until real justice was
served down in the subway?
549
00:30:31,330 --> 00:30:34,542
Do you have any other
personal views on this subject
550
00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:36,460
you'd like to air before
we walk into court
551
00:30:36,627 --> 00:30:39,338
and Ms. Shambala Green
hands us our asses on a platter?!
552
00:30:41,215 --> 00:30:43,425
Nope, not a one.
553
00:30:44,426 --> 00:30:46,095
I don't believe this.
554
00:30:46,262 --> 00:30:48,889
The entire New York City
Police Department's lost its mind.
555
00:30:49,056 --> 00:30:50,683
Do you have anything to say?
556
00:30:50,850 --> 00:30:53,352
I go along with what
my partner says.
557
00:30:53,519 --> 00:30:54,854
Which is…?
558
00:31:02,152 --> 00:31:04,822
The accused stated
559
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:07,408
that she intended
to harm the victims.
560
00:31:07,575 --> 00:31:09,952
Absolutely.
561
00:31:19,336 --> 00:31:21,714
Stone: The defense will
prove that not only fear,
562
00:31:21,881 --> 00:31:24,383
but anger stemming
from a previous incident,
563
00:31:24,550 --> 00:31:27,511
led Miss di Biasi to an
act not of self-defense,
564
00:31:27,678 --> 00:31:29,013
but of vengeance.
565
00:31:29,179 --> 00:31:30,389
Armed with a deadly weapon,
566
00:31:30,556 --> 00:31:33,601
she waited for the
very next pretext…
567
00:31:33,767 --> 00:31:37,146
In essence, she went looking for
Darnell Chenault and Michael Jones,
568
00:31:37,313 --> 00:31:39,815
whose only offense
against the accused
569
00:31:39,982 --> 00:31:41,775
was that they appeared
to be threatening.
570
00:31:41,942 --> 00:31:44,486
If Miss di Biasi is so
threatened by urban life,
571
00:31:44,653 --> 00:31:46,363
perhaps she could've
avoided the subway.
572
00:31:46,530 --> 00:31:48,490
Objection! Objection,
Your Honor.
573
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:50,075
I trust there will
be nothing further
574
00:31:50,242 --> 00:31:51,619
along that line, Counselor?
575
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:54,663
Green: Of course
I'm more than willing
576
00:31:54,830 --> 00:31:56,457
to make a statement.
577
00:31:56,624 --> 00:31:58,500
The behavior of the prosecution
578
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:00,169
is totally inappropriate.
579
00:32:00,336 --> 00:32:02,838
I find it incredible that
a civil servant of this city
580
00:32:03,005 --> 00:32:05,758
could suggest that a
woman doesn't have the right
581
00:32:05,925 --> 00:32:07,676
to ride the subway without fear.
582
00:32:07,843 --> 00:32:10,679
Mr. Stone, did you really
mean to say that Laura di Biasi
583
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:13,098
has no right to live
in New York City?
584
00:32:13,265 --> 00:32:15,434
You're being a bit
literal, aren't you?
585
00:32:15,601 --> 00:32:18,270
I don't think so. I think your
implication was pretty clear.
586
00:32:18,437 --> 00:32:21,023
If a woman is afraid of rape,
she has no right to live here.
587
00:32:21,190 --> 00:32:24,193
That's a curious position
to take for a prosecutor.
588
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:48,884
Ballet books, poetry…
589
00:32:49,051 --> 00:32:52,012
Couple of how-to books
on achieving orgasm.
590
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:55,265
Oh, great.
591
00:32:55,432 --> 00:32:57,017
Now what?
592
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,896
Did you find anything
incriminating?
593
00:33:01,063 --> 00:33:02,231
"Small Arms Manual,"
594
00:33:02,398 --> 00:33:03,649
"Shoot to Kill,"
"Hand-to-hand Combat."
595
00:33:03,816 --> 00:33:05,275
So? Unusual bedtime stories.
596
00:33:05,442 --> 00:33:07,736
That's my business.
597
00:33:07,903 --> 00:33:09,363
I assume you have a warrant?
598
00:33:10,531 --> 00:33:13,075
Save it.
599
00:33:13,242 --> 00:33:15,577
Excuse me, I'm sorry
to bother you, I really am.
600
00:33:15,744 --> 00:33:16,912
I know you're going
through a tough…
601
00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:19,081
Yeah, right…
602
00:33:19,248 --> 00:33:21,250
You know.
603
00:33:21,417 --> 00:33:24,545
I haven't slept a full hour
since this whole thing started.
604
00:33:24,712 --> 00:33:27,131
Look, I should be
going, and I'm sorry,
605
00:33:27,297 --> 00:33:29,216
but I have to take these.
606
00:33:29,383 --> 00:33:30,676
It's not enough you hang me,
607
00:33:30,843 --> 00:33:32,928
I have to buy you
the rope, too, huh?
608
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:38,809
What have you got against me?
609
00:33:39,601 --> 00:33:40,310
I'm sorry?
610
00:33:41,353 --> 00:33:43,689
I don't understand
why you hate me.
611
00:33:43,856 --> 00:33:45,232
Look, I'm not free to dis…
612
00:33:46,942 --> 00:33:48,652
I don't. Of course I don't.
613
00:33:48,819 --> 00:33:50,154
Then why are you…
614
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,947
We really shouldn't be
having this conversation.
615
00:33:52,114 --> 00:33:53,991
I wouldn't shoot you!
616
00:33:54,158 --> 00:33:56,076
Don't you understand?
617
00:33:58,871 --> 00:34:00,956
It all became unreal.
618
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:03,292
It wasn't happening to me.
619
00:34:03,459 --> 00:34:06,336
All I could feel was
fear. I was afraid of them.
620
00:34:06,503 --> 00:34:08,047
I was terrified!
621
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:10,799
Not because they were black,
622
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:13,302
but because of who they were.
623
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:15,387
I didn't mean to kill him.
624
00:34:15,554 --> 00:34:17,931
I couldn't make it stop.
625
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:20,225
They wouldn't… it wouldn't…
626
00:34:20,392 --> 00:34:22,352
Please, that's enough.
627
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:23,937
What if you were on a train,
628
00:34:24,104 --> 00:34:27,608
and a bunch of rednecks
started hassling you?
629
00:34:29,818 --> 00:34:32,321
Wouldn't you be afraid?
630
00:34:34,531 --> 00:34:36,200
Wouldn't you?!
631
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:40,621
Miss di Biasi,
please. I'm sorry,
632
00:34:40,788 --> 00:34:41,955
I can't comment.
633
00:34:45,125 --> 00:34:47,294
I can't stay.
634
00:34:50,506 --> 00:34:54,343
I came by to give you my
unconditional support. Only…
635
00:34:54,510 --> 00:34:56,428
"Number one,
tone it down a little;
636
00:34:56,595 --> 00:34:58,388
number two, try a
little damage control"?
637
00:34:58,555 --> 00:35:00,265
PR's not my job.
638
00:35:00,432 --> 00:35:01,642
You seen the papers?
639
00:35:01,809 --> 00:35:03,477
She was looking for it."
640
00:35:03,644 --> 00:35:05,187
They're having a
field day out there.
641
00:35:05,354 --> 00:35:07,189
I can't help that.
Our whole strategy
642
00:35:07,356 --> 00:35:09,066
is sandbagging the
self-defense scenario.
643
00:35:09,233 --> 00:35:12,319
Even if she comes off a
revenge seeker with a hair trigger?
644
00:35:12,486 --> 00:35:14,988
She pulled off five
shots in three seconds.
645
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:17,199
Excellent, but it would be nice,
646
00:35:17,366 --> 00:35:20,744
real nice, if we could have
a concrete piece of evidence
647
00:35:20,911 --> 00:35:22,955
to support your revenge theory.
648
00:35:23,122 --> 00:35:24,581
DA Schiff.
649
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:26,166
Paul.
650
00:35:28,043 --> 00:35:29,294
"Shoot to Kill"?
651
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:31,296
Damage control.
652
00:35:32,881 --> 00:35:34,216
I found all this in her bedroom.
653
00:35:36,385 --> 00:35:39,221
Check the dates. The first
one was six months ago.
654
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:44,017
Stone: She's improving.
655
00:35:52,526 --> 00:35:54,236
Wow.
656
00:35:54,820 --> 00:35:57,364
What were the extent
of those injuries?
657
00:35:57,531 --> 00:35:59,158
They were fairly extensive.
658
00:35:59,324 --> 00:36:01,326
Could you describe them for me?
659
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:04,288
They were tall, muscular,
660
00:36:04,454 --> 00:36:06,498
one had an Afro with a goatee…
661
00:36:06,665 --> 00:36:09,168
Stone: No, no, Miss
di Biasi, I'll rephrase.
662
00:36:09,334 --> 00:36:11,086
Could you please explain
663
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:13,005
and describe for the court
664
00:36:13,172 --> 00:36:14,590
the injuries?
665
00:36:14,756 --> 00:36:16,717
Oh.
666
00:36:17,759 --> 00:36:19,845
I had a shattered
disc in my back,
667
00:36:20,012 --> 00:36:21,805
some broken ribs,
668
00:36:21,972 --> 00:36:24,016
torn cartilage
in the right knee.
669
00:36:24,183 --> 00:36:27,144
And these injuries required
several operations, didn't they?
670
00:36:27,311 --> 00:36:28,937
Yes, several.
671
00:36:29,104 --> 00:36:31,982
Stone: Three? Five?
672
00:36:32,149 --> 00:36:34,568
Four, I think. Five.
673
00:36:36,403 --> 00:36:37,738
I don't know.
674
00:36:37,905 --> 00:36:39,281
They hurt me, isn't that enough?
675
00:36:39,448 --> 00:36:41,325
Yes, of course.
676
00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:43,619
And no one blames
you for being resentful.
677
00:36:45,621 --> 00:36:48,332
These injuries finished
you as a dancer, didn't they?
678
00:36:51,877 --> 00:36:53,629
Yes.
679
00:36:53,795 --> 00:36:55,631
That seem fair to you?
680
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:57,507
I object, Your Honor.
What's the relevancy?
681
00:36:57,674 --> 00:36:59,301
I'll allow it.
682
00:37:02,304 --> 00:37:03,764
No.
683
00:37:03,931 --> 00:37:05,766
No, it wasn't fair.
684
00:37:05,933 --> 00:37:07,476
I think it's grossly unfair.
685
00:37:07,643 --> 00:37:09,770
I'm sure if I were
in your position,
686
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:11,271
I'd carry a 9mm, too.
687
00:37:11,438 --> 00:37:12,981
Objection! Withdrawn.
688
00:37:13,148 --> 00:37:15,359
Miss di Biasi…
689
00:37:16,485 --> 00:37:19,404
in your dreams,
in your fantasies,
690
00:37:19,571 --> 00:37:22,199
did you ever wish
691
00:37:22,366 --> 00:37:24,618
you'd gotten back
at those youths?
692
00:37:24,785 --> 00:37:26,662
Green: Objection. Objection.
693
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:28,288
Your Honor, this
is unbelievable.
694
00:37:28,455 --> 00:37:31,416
She was defending herself
against a man who's been accused
695
00:37:31,583 --> 00:37:33,168
of multiple homicides.
696
00:37:33,335 --> 00:37:36,505
Mr. Mosket's priors have no
bearing on this case, Judge.
697
00:37:36,672 --> 00:37:38,423
Nor, of course, could she
have known about them.
698
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:40,342
Judge: Overruled.
699
00:37:40,509 --> 00:37:42,844
Besides, he wasn't
the only threat, was he?
700
00:37:45,847 --> 00:37:49,184
Who else did you find
threatening, Miss di Biasi?
701
00:37:50,185 --> 00:37:51,812
Mr. Chenault?
702
00:37:57,734 --> 00:38:00,570
What exactly did he say?
703
00:38:04,283 --> 00:38:06,660
He said…
704
00:38:07,995 --> 00:38:10,539
"How about a taste…
705
00:38:10,706 --> 00:38:12,624
for my friend?"
706
00:38:12,791 --> 00:38:14,459
Which you took
707
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:16,878
as an overture to rape?
708
00:38:17,045 --> 00:38:20,048
He was crowding me, he
was right up against me.
709
00:38:20,215 --> 00:38:21,425
Who, Mr. Chenault?
710
00:38:21,591 --> 00:38:23,051
Mr. Mosket? Both of them?
711
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:25,637
Yes! No.
712
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,473
I don't know. At least one.
713
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,976
And you tried to get
away? Yes, of course.
714
00:38:31,143 --> 00:38:32,394
The second time, too?
715
00:38:32,561 --> 00:38:33,770
Yes.
716
00:38:33,937 --> 00:38:35,814
That's why you shot him
the second time, to get away?
717
00:38:35,981 --> 00:38:37,190
Objection, Your Honor.
718
00:38:37,357 --> 00:38:39,484
Why did you shoot
Darnell Chenault
719
00:38:39,651 --> 00:38:41,069
a second time, Miss di Biasi?
720
00:38:41,236 --> 00:38:43,363
I was petrified. I
wanted to make sure.
721
00:38:43,530 --> 00:38:46,366
So you said,
"Here's your taste."
722
00:39:08,347 --> 00:39:11,099
You said, "Here's your taste."
723
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:13,018
Sounds rather cool.
724
00:39:13,185 --> 00:39:15,479
Green: Objection, Your
Honor. No further questions.
725
00:39:21,985 --> 00:39:23,862
Miss di Biasi, you say
726
00:39:24,029 --> 00:39:26,573
you "didn't have time to think."
727
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:30,744
Nor should anyone
be required to think
728
00:39:30,911 --> 00:39:33,163
when faced with
grave bodily harm.
729
00:39:33,330 --> 00:39:35,123
The human response
is not to think,
730
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:36,792
but to react.
731
00:39:36,958 --> 00:39:39,211
Miss Green, get on with it.
732
00:39:41,630 --> 00:39:43,840
"Detached reflection
733
00:39:44,007 --> 00:39:46,385
cannot be demanded
in the presence
734
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:48,345
of an uplifted knife."
735
00:39:48,512 --> 00:39:50,847
Or screwdriver.
736
00:39:51,014 --> 00:39:52,891
Objection, Your Honor,
this has no bearing
737
00:39:53,058 --> 00:39:54,476
on why Miss di
Biasi was waiting…
738
00:39:54,643 --> 00:39:56,186
This has all the
bearing in the world.
739
00:39:56,353 --> 00:39:58,522
A lot more than the
Jesuitical casuistry
740
00:39:58,688 --> 00:40:01,191
offered up by the
District Attorney.
741
00:40:01,358 --> 00:40:03,735
May we approach the
bench, Your Honor?
742
00:40:03,902 --> 00:40:06,321
If you can be brief.
743
00:40:10,992 --> 00:40:12,452
Your Honor,
744
00:40:12,619 --> 00:40:14,287
the speed of the events,
745
00:40:14,454 --> 00:40:15,997
the timeframe of
my client's reaction,
746
00:40:16,164 --> 00:40:17,624
is crucial to my defense.
747
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:19,960
I'd like permission to stage
748
00:40:20,127 --> 00:40:21,461
a demonstration of the incident,
749
00:40:21,628 --> 00:40:23,171
if it please the court?
750
00:40:23,338 --> 00:40:25,048
Isn't this enough of
a circus, Your Honor?
751
00:40:25,215 --> 00:40:27,217
I'll decide that.
752
00:40:28,343 --> 00:40:30,387
All right, but I warn
you, Miss Green,
753
00:40:30,554 --> 00:40:32,722
I don't want to see
any undue theatrics.
754
00:40:32,889 --> 00:40:34,224
Thank you, Your Honor.
755
00:40:34,391 --> 00:40:36,059
Judge: Ladies and gentlemen,
756
00:40:36,226 --> 00:40:38,186
the court has agreed
to allow the defense
757
00:40:38,353 --> 00:40:42,107
to stage a re-enactment of
the occurrence in question.
758
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,784
Crime Stoppers! Your
Honor, these people
759
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:55,078
are on record as supporting
the vigilante tactics…
760
00:40:55,245 --> 00:40:57,205
If that's an objection,
you're overruled.
761
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:00,083
Judge: Proceed, Miss Green.
762
00:41:22,981 --> 00:41:27,152
How about a taste, baby?
763
00:41:27,319 --> 00:41:30,280
Man, what the homeboys
doing, narcing for the white folks?!
764
00:41:30,447 --> 00:41:32,199
Order! Order!
765
00:41:32,365 --> 00:41:33,742
Huh?! Little punks!
766
00:41:33,909 --> 00:41:35,368
Get off of me! Get off of me!
767
00:41:35,535 --> 00:41:37,287
Come on, you bunch of freaks!
768
00:41:39,873 --> 00:41:43,001
Judge: Order! Order!
769
00:41:43,168 --> 00:41:44,961
If the Crime
Stoppers didn't do it,
770
00:41:45,128 --> 00:41:47,631
Darnell sure as hell did. So
how much worse can it get?
771
00:41:47,797 --> 00:41:50,217
Not much. I want you up
there for the rest of the day.
772
00:41:50,383 --> 00:41:52,135
What, an antidote
to brother Darnell?
773
00:41:52,302 --> 00:41:53,845
The name on everyone's lips.
774
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:56,806
I got a woman down the hall
who can't stop talking about him.
775
00:41:59,476 --> 00:42:02,270
I'll… I'll sign a complaint,
776
00:42:02,437 --> 00:42:04,272
point the finger, you name it.
777
00:42:04,439 --> 00:42:07,067
You recognized Mr. Chenault
how, from seeing him on the news?
778
00:42:07,234 --> 00:42:08,652
Uh-huh, that's right.
779
00:42:08,818 --> 00:42:11,696
And the other one,
the one that died…
780
00:42:11,863 --> 00:42:13,073
Mosquito Mosket?
781
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:14,783
Mm-hmm.
782
00:42:14,950 --> 00:42:18,036
Yeah. Too bad.
783
00:42:18,203 --> 00:42:19,996
I mean, he's…
784
00:42:20,163 --> 00:42:23,166
He's the one that
tried to rape me.
785
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:25,752
That I'm sure of.
And I'm pretty sure
786
00:42:25,919 --> 00:42:28,296
that the guy in the
wheelchair, he held me down.
787
00:42:28,463 --> 00:42:30,340
How sure is "pretty
sure," Miss Diamond?
788
00:42:30,507 --> 00:42:33,385
Like I said, I'm positive
789
00:42:33,552 --> 00:42:35,345
of the one that died.
790
00:42:47,023 --> 00:42:50,819
Adam, I need to twist
Darnell. I need your permission.
791
00:42:50,986 --> 00:42:52,571
Yeah, what are
you talking about?
792
00:42:52,737 --> 00:42:54,531
There's a woman right
now with Stevenson
793
00:42:54,698 --> 00:42:56,199
swearing out a
complaint about Chenault.
794
00:42:56,366 --> 00:42:57,909
What's that got to
do with anything?
795
00:42:58,076 --> 00:42:59,327
Maybe nothing, maybe everything.
796
00:42:59,494 --> 00:43:00,996
But if those two are
rape-happy, I want to know that
797
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:03,873
before I go tearing
into Laura di Biasi again.
798
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:07,377
Can't anyone around here stay on the
same side of the street for 10 seconds?
799
00:43:07,544 --> 00:43:09,004
Well?
800
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:11,381
If we change our tune now,
801
00:43:11,548 --> 00:43:13,466
we're facing a public
relations disaster.
802
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:15,468
I know that. You don't
have to tell me that.
803
00:43:15,635 --> 00:43:17,721
But if I don't listen to
my reasonable doubt…
804
00:43:17,887 --> 00:43:19,347
I thought Mosket
was a gang member…
805
00:43:19,514 --> 00:43:22,851
Violent, but no history of sexual
crimes. With what I know now,
806
00:43:23,018 --> 00:43:24,728
the defendant's
perceptions may be accurate.
807
00:43:24,894 --> 00:43:27,564
I can't prosecute on that level.
All right, but we've got to consider…
808
00:43:27,731 --> 00:43:29,232
I won't do it.
809
00:43:29,399 --> 00:43:31,192
What the hell, go for it.
810
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:34,446
I'll ask Leon for a continuance.
811
00:43:34,613 --> 00:43:37,949
Damn, cuz, slow down!
What do you want, man?
812
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,035
The truth.
813
00:43:40,201 --> 00:43:42,871
Look, I was sitting down, man,
814
00:43:43,038 --> 00:43:44,873
just like I'm sitting down now.
815
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,000
I didn't even move a muscle.
816
00:43:47,167 --> 00:43:51,171
Damn, man, Mosquito's the
one into biting on white chicks.
817
00:43:56,051 --> 00:43:58,803
Judge: This is rather
unbelievable, Mr. Stone.
818
00:43:58,970 --> 00:44:01,765
The defense has an obligation
to defend its client vigorously
819
00:44:01,931 --> 00:44:03,725
even if it has knowledge
of the client's guilt.
820
00:44:03,892 --> 00:44:06,394
The prosecutor's job
is much more restrictive.
821
00:44:06,561 --> 00:44:10,148
I have to drop the charges if I
believe the accused is innocent,
822
00:44:10,315 --> 00:44:13,526
and with the new information
on Mosket, I have no choice.
823
00:44:13,693 --> 00:44:15,612
There is reasonable
doubt on murder two.
824
00:44:15,779 --> 00:44:17,322
So what are you looking for?
825
00:44:17,489 --> 00:44:19,699
That she plead on the gun charge
826
00:44:19,866 --> 00:44:21,660
and the reckless endangerment…
827
00:44:21,826 --> 00:44:26,081
Chenault was shot sitting
down according to an eyewitness.
828
00:44:26,247 --> 00:44:27,666
Miss Green?
829
00:44:27,832 --> 00:44:29,751
Forget it, Judge.
830
00:44:29,918 --> 00:44:32,545
Mr. Stone is hardly in
a position to negotiate.
831
00:44:32,712 --> 00:44:34,589
Why don't we just
go back in there,
832
00:44:34,756 --> 00:44:36,758
tell the jury the
truth about Mosket,
833
00:44:36,925 --> 00:44:38,885
and let them decide how
to deal with my client?
834
00:44:41,554 --> 00:44:43,765
You are a Public Defender.
835
00:44:43,932 --> 00:44:47,018
Try defending the public.
If this goes to a jury,
836
00:44:47,185 --> 00:44:49,270
they won't convict
on the gun charge.
837
00:44:49,437 --> 00:44:51,231
She is innocent.
838
00:44:51,398 --> 00:44:54,275
Miss Laura di
Biasi is not innocent
839
00:44:54,442 --> 00:44:56,736
of carrying and
discharging a lethal weapon
840
00:44:56,903 --> 00:44:59,197
in a closed and
crowded subway car.
841
00:44:59,364 --> 00:45:02,534
And if we acquit her on
this, we will be inviting
842
00:45:02,701 --> 00:45:05,912
nine million people
to arm themselves.
843
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:07,872
This is not a
question of win or lose,
844
00:45:08,039 --> 00:45:09,541
it's a question of justice.
845
00:45:13,461 --> 00:45:15,588
We're both paid by the people.
846
00:45:15,755 --> 00:45:17,924
We're both part of the system.
847
00:45:18,091 --> 00:45:20,927
Let's let it work the
way it's supposed to.
848
00:45:24,431 --> 00:45:27,684
Are you flexible on sentencing
849
00:45:27,851 --> 00:45:29,394
for the Sullivan violation?
850
00:45:29,561 --> 00:45:31,062
One year suspended,
851
00:45:31,229 --> 00:45:32,772
three years' probation,
852
00:45:32,939 --> 00:45:36,067
2000 hours of community
service on the Sullivan.
853
00:45:36,234 --> 00:45:39,571
Five years suspended on
the reckless endangerment.
854
00:45:39,738 --> 00:45:42,657
Plus she must submit
to a psyche profile test,
855
00:45:42,824 --> 00:45:45,577
and whatever care mandated
by the hospital during probation.
856
00:45:46,536 --> 00:45:48,455
Deal?
857
00:45:53,626 --> 00:45:56,337
Naturally, my
client is gratified
858
00:45:56,504 --> 00:45:57,756
that justice has been served.
859
00:45:57,922 --> 00:46:01,176
We look upon this as not
only a personal vindication,
860
00:46:01,342 --> 00:46:04,345
but also a victory for
every woman and man
861
00:46:04,512 --> 00:46:07,182
that rides the subways or
walks the streets of New York.
862
00:46:07,348 --> 00:46:09,684
And I want to thank
the district attorneys
863
00:46:09,851 --> 00:46:12,270
for having the courage
of their convictions.
864
00:46:12,437 --> 00:46:14,355
It's not a perfect world,
865
00:46:14,522 --> 00:46:16,191
but at least we can
walk away from this one
866
00:46:16,357 --> 00:46:17,525
feeling we did the right thing.
867
00:46:17,692 --> 00:46:19,611
Really? It feels to
me like all we did
868
00:46:19,778 --> 00:46:22,280
was make the wrong
seem like a right.
