1
00:00:00,940 --> 00:00:02,420
Previously on L .A. Law.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,250
We asked you to step toward the car. Get
your hands off me. Shut your mouth!

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,310
There's a police officer in the hospital
with a broken jaw.

4
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:18,560
Judge. Which police officer attacked Mr.

5
00:00:18,561 --> 00:00:21,319
Rollins without provocation? He was
resisting arrest.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,219
You're just looking for a conviction to
insulate the department from a civil

7
00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:27,230
suit. That's not going to happen. Then
we got another problem.

8
00:00:27,231 --> 00:00:30,349
See, the grandmother that was raped, we
showed her your picture.

9
00:00:30,350 --> 00:00:31,490
With others, of course.

10
00:00:31,750 --> 00:00:36,149
And while she couldn't conclusively ID
you as the rapist, she couldn't rule you

11
00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:36,909
out either.

12
00:00:36,910 --> 00:00:37,960
How's Zoe doing?

13
00:00:38,030 --> 00:00:39,390
Zoe? She's the DA.

14
00:00:39,650 --> 00:00:41,010
She's also my ex -wife.

15
00:00:41,630 --> 00:00:43,810
That woman is your ex -wife?

16
00:00:44,070 --> 00:00:45,370
You can't win this, Tommy.

17
00:00:45,610 --> 00:00:48,390
Don't try to be a hero. The kid needs a
hero. Tommy!

18
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:50,370
Look, Zoe, I'm sorry.

19
00:00:50,570 --> 00:00:55,869
I know I got no right putting you in the
middle. Yeah. But this thing, it's just

20
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:57,530
a little hard to walk away from.

21
00:00:58,010 --> 00:01:02,089
I am coming forward as an officer of the
court to prevent what I believe to be a

22
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:04,130
gross violation of the judicial process.

23
00:01:04,269 --> 00:01:08,370
Bruce Rogoff abused his power. Jonathan
Rollins is an innocent man.

24
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:11,930
Don't worry, Mr. Rogoff. I only believe
every word.

25
00:01:12,530 --> 00:01:16,250
Sometimes it's hard to believe that you
were such a god -awful wife.

26
00:01:18,490 --> 00:01:22,130
Because you are still the greatest
person that I ever met.

27
00:01:22,910 --> 00:01:24,430
Can I quote you on my resume?

28
00:01:25,490 --> 00:01:26,540
Absolutely.

29
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:29,190
You are such a bad influence.

30
00:01:29,450 --> 00:01:30,500
I know.

31
00:01:37,870 --> 00:01:41,790
The biscuits are getting cold, Joseph. I
can't keep the good heart forever.

32
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:43,570
It's funny that way.

33
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:47,350
I can't say the blessing to people. Sit,
Gabi. Everybody, sit down.

34
00:01:47,870 --> 00:01:49,610
All my cookies got out of the way.

35
00:01:51,090 --> 00:01:53,650
Now, Charlie, I want you there.

36
00:01:53,930 --> 00:01:56,790
Anna, you're here. Victor, next to you.

37
00:01:57,570 --> 00:02:02,569
Grace, honey, next. Everything looks so
delicious. Grace, hurry up. Her biscuits

38
00:02:02,570 --> 00:02:04,730
get cold. She turns into a tigre.

39
00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:08,380
You know what? I don't even like her
biscuits. They're like knee pads.

40
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:19,510
Dear Lord in heaven above. Wait, wait,
I'm not in my chair yet.

41
00:02:22,130 --> 00:02:23,670
Charlie, hit your father.

42
00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:27,790
Bow your head.

43
00:02:29,450 --> 00:02:33,590
Dear Lord, we give thanks for the food
we are about to receive.

44
00:02:34,230 --> 00:02:36,070
We give thanks for this family.

45
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:41,229
That we can be together like this, on
this occasion, where Victor brings to us

46
00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:46,669
his beautiful friend, Grace Van Allen.
Hey, I bring at least 20 girls home for

47
00:02:46,670 --> 00:02:49,369
dinner. None of them get mentioned in
the blessing. What happened?

48
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:50,449
They're stupid, Charlie.

49
00:02:50,450 --> 00:02:52,849
That's the way I like them. Why don't we
just skip the rest of the blessing? Oh,

50
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:56,290
the lawyer doesn't want to say the
blessing. Victor, I want to know.

51
00:02:56,490 --> 00:02:57,540
All right, okay.

52
00:02:57,810 --> 00:02:58,860
Silence,

53
00:02:59,610 --> 00:03:01,840
silence. Charlie Boy wants to say
something.

54
00:03:01,841 --> 00:03:04,889
We've already thanked God for the food
and the family, right?

55
00:03:04,890 --> 00:03:07,809
I mean, he's got other blessings he has
to listen to. He's a busy God,

56
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:08,890
especially nowadays.

57
00:03:09,350 --> 00:03:11,990
So, let's just give Grace a welcome,
okay?

58
00:03:13,550 --> 00:03:15,290
We're happy to have you here, Grace.

59
00:03:15,291 --> 00:03:16,689
Thank you.

60
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:17,990
I'm honored to be here.

61
00:03:18,801 --> 00:03:20,889
That's nice.

62
00:03:20,890 --> 00:03:22,550
Now pass me those damn biscuits.

63
00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:33,860
All right, people.

64
00:05:33,970 --> 00:05:36,140
Busy days for everyone. Let's keep it
short.

65
00:05:36,630 --> 00:05:41,129
First up, on a very exciting note, I
spoke last evening with Henrik Shea, the

66
00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:43,230
estate planning counsel for Ricky Davis.

67
00:05:43,231 --> 00:05:44,629
The Ricky Davis?

68
00:05:44,630 --> 00:05:48,000
Yes. For those of you who have been
skipping page one for the last few

69
00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:52,000
Miss Davis and her lover is charged with
murdering her 72 -year -old husband.

70
00:05:52,110 --> 00:05:54,270
The Beverly Hills Hanger. The very one.

71
00:05:54,271 --> 00:05:58,269
The young widow was apparently upset
with her defense counsel. She wants to

72
00:05:58,270 --> 00:06:01,969
interview us. Wow. Are you serious? I
want this case. You've got it, Michael,

73
00:06:01,970 --> 00:06:02,759
you can hook her.

74
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,260
She's due in this morning at 11.

75
00:06:04,261 --> 00:06:07,699
Needless to say, this would be a public
relations home run. It's probably the

76
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:11,239
most talked about murder case in the
country. One second, Chair Mike. Why

77
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,399
Michael always get the big cases? For
once, I'd like a murder case, maybe. You

78
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,630
never want murder cases, Ann. I want
this one.

79
00:06:16,820 --> 00:06:20,459
Well, you can't have it. All right.
There's probably enough work here for

80
00:06:20,460 --> 00:06:21,740
everybody, if we get it.

81
00:06:21,741 --> 00:06:25,079
Michael, might I suggest you're bringing
someone else in for the meeting?

82
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080
Whatever it takes to snag her. Michael.

83
00:06:27,081 --> 00:06:28,419
Moving on.

84
00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:29,500
Jonathan? Jonathan?

85
00:06:29,501 --> 00:06:32,869
Are you still planning to proceed with
your action against the police?

86
00:06:32,870 --> 00:06:36,329
Yeah. Yeah, I'm not chasing the D .A.'s
office, though, out of deference to Zoe

87
00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:39,389
Clemens. Be apprised, people. I'm out of
the office Wednesday morning with some

88
00:06:39,390 --> 00:06:41,920
minor bunion surgery. That's all. We're
adjourned.

89
00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:44,450
Look at that.

90
00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:46,970
Bowling? Yeah, bowling.

91
00:06:46,971 --> 00:06:51,669
Really, Charlie's in this thing called
Friends League, and he wants us to go

92
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:52,720
with him tonight.

93
00:06:52,721 --> 00:06:56,639
You want to go? Yeah, well, sure. I
mean, we can grab a bite to eat after

94
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,719
and then from there, about 7 o 'clock,
we hit the line. What do you say? Okay,

95
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,770
sure. Great.

96
00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:06,230
Hey, Grace, thanks for last night, too.
I mean, you were a real sport.

97
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,880
I really liked him, Victor.

98
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,700
You have a terrific family.

99
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,090
Come here.

100
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:17,930
Thanks.

101
00:07:17,931 --> 00:07:19,519
I'll see you later?

102
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,570
Mm.

103
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,770
Bowling.

104
00:07:22,010 --> 00:07:23,060
Yeah, don't.

105
00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:32,170
Cop to the rape. I'll go with low term.
You'll be off in 18 months.

106
00:07:32,171 --> 00:07:33,549
That's ridiculous.

107
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:34,600
All right.

108
00:07:34,870 --> 00:07:35,950
Misdemeanor battery.

109
00:07:37,030 --> 00:07:38,080
Suspended.

110
00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:42,530
You raped a 16 -year -old girl. You
expect me to let him walk on a

111
00:07:42,610 --> 00:07:43,970
I didn't rape anybody.

112
00:07:43,971 --> 00:07:47,889
And she got exactly what she was looking
for. All right. If it hadn't been me,

113
00:07:47,890 --> 00:07:50,060
it would have been somebody else. All
right.

114
00:07:50,061 --> 00:07:54,289
As we agreed, anything said in this room
was in the context of plea negotiation

115
00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:56,550
and therefore totally inadmissible.

116
00:07:57,110 --> 00:08:02,010
Did you contact the girl's mother and
offer her $300 ,000 to drop this thing?

117
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:04,560
The offer anticipated a potential civil
claim.

118
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:08,040
It would be illegal for me to tamper
with a criminal prosecution.

119
00:08:08,050 --> 00:08:11,600
Yeah, well, she got the impression
that's exactly what you were doing.

120
00:08:11,870 --> 00:08:12,920
She misunderstood.

121
00:08:13,130 --> 00:08:17,149
You listen to me. If I get wind you're
offering bribes or doing anything to buy

122
00:08:17,150 --> 00:08:20,349
your way out of this, I'll bring you
both up on obstruction of justice.

123
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:24,189
Don't threaten me, Miss Clements. Stay
away from the girl. Stay away from the

124
00:08:24,190 --> 00:08:27,589
mother. Well, until they're represented
by civil counsel, and thus far they're

125
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:31,650
not, I'm entitled to approach them. Go
near them again. I'm bringing charges.

126
00:08:31,651 --> 00:08:35,808
I don't care how many banks you run or
how many lawyers you hire. I'll screw up

127
00:08:35,809 --> 00:08:36,509
your life.

128
00:08:36,510 --> 00:08:39,340
Well, you're never going to make rape or
statutory rape.

129
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:42,889
And after we beat up the girl in a
criminal case and make no mistake, I

130
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:45,780
her. We're going to bring a civil libel
action against her.

131
00:08:45,781 --> 00:08:48,989
And even if we don't win it, we'll
bankrupt them with legal bills.

132
00:08:48,990 --> 00:08:52,009
Now, you go back and tell your people
that, Miss Clements, and then you ask

133
00:08:52,010 --> 00:08:54,300
if they really want to follow through on
this.

134
00:08:54,550 --> 00:08:55,600
Please excuse us.

135
00:09:05,510 --> 00:09:10,349
My last lawyer suggested I plead out.
That means either he thinks I'm guilty

136
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:11,670
he doesn't think he can win.

137
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:15,889
Either way, a switch seems in order.
John Fryer's a pretty sharp defense

138
00:09:15,890 --> 00:09:19,249
attorney. If he's telling me to admit to
a crime I didn't commit, Mr. Mullaney,

139
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:20,330
he's not sharp enough.

140
00:09:20,590 --> 00:09:23,240
From what I gather in the papers, you
got a tough case.

141
00:09:23,330 --> 00:09:24,950
What exactly have you gathered?

142
00:09:25,530 --> 00:09:30,629
Your husband was found dead one week
after he decided to divorce you. A

143
00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:34,229
would have cut you off at the knees with
a prenup, while his death, on the other

144
00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:38,650
hand, leaves you $26 million as the
grieving widow. You also had a lover.

145
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,540
They found his prints along with yours
on the cord used to hang your husband.

146
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,739
That's pretty much it. Those prints were
on the beam, not on the cord, and they

147
00:09:48,740 --> 00:09:51,630
got there when we discovered him and
tried to cut him down.

148
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,100
We didn't hang him.

149
00:09:53,101 --> 00:09:54,199
Then who did?

150
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,080
I think maybe he hung himself.

151
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,810
He was depressed.

152
00:09:57,811 --> 00:09:59,259
What about?

153
00:09:59,260 --> 00:10:02,920
A month before he was diagnosed with the
inoperable liver cancer.

154
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,839
They say that's not much to go on, but I
didn't murder my husband, and I didn't

155
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,179
participate in any conspiracy to murder
him, and I need a lawyer who can help me

156
00:10:12,180 --> 00:10:13,230
prove that.

157
00:10:13,780 --> 00:10:18,780
Well, I'm going to need all the files
from John Fryer's office today.

158
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480
I also want you to take a lie detector
test.

159
00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:27,450
Why? Because evidently you want a lawyer
who believes in your innocence.

160
00:10:27,780 --> 00:10:28,830
I'm not there yet.

161
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:30,840
Are you, Tommy? Nope.

162
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,740
Why don't you think it over?

163
00:10:35,260 --> 00:10:36,310
No.

164
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,490
You're hired.

165
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:39,740
Set up the polygraph. Let me know.

166
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Nice to meet you both.

167
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,360
Nice touch with the lie detector.

168
00:10:51,361 --> 00:10:53,539
You know, I figured that would get her
attention.

169
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:57,619
I went in on this case, Michael, as much
as possible. Don't worry, Tommy. I got

170
00:10:57,620 --> 00:11:02,120
big plans for you. Good, because this
thing here, this is serious juice.

171
00:11:05,729 --> 00:11:07,649
I certainly don't want you to back down.

172
00:11:08,050 --> 00:11:09,550
But I don't want to mislead you.

173
00:11:10,290 --> 00:11:15,109
If we prosecute, his lawyer is going to
do anything he can to destroy you. And

174
00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:16,160
his lawyer is great.

175
00:11:16,390 --> 00:11:17,650
Does she have to testify?

176
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:21,850
I mean, with statutory rape, consent
doesn't matter, right?

177
00:11:22,090 --> 00:11:25,700
But we're also going with straight rape.
On that one, consent is an issue.

178
00:11:25,770 --> 00:11:28,420
Maybe we should drop that one. That
would be a mistake.

179
00:11:28,610 --> 00:11:30,530
Our best shots with the straight count.

180
00:11:30,531 --> 00:11:34,369
With stat rape, the only issue is age,
and he can argue mistaken belief that

181
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:35,420
looked old enough.

182
00:11:36,030 --> 00:11:39,470
If we go forward, we really should go
with both counts.

183
00:11:39,690 --> 00:11:41,010
Can you get him convicted?

184
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:43,340
I don't know, Laurie.

185
00:11:43,630 --> 00:11:44,680
No.

186
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:47,010
I don't want her put through this. Mom.

187
00:11:47,250 --> 00:11:50,670
Honey, you have no idea how hard it's
going to be in there.

188
00:11:51,250 --> 00:11:53,230
And the likelihood is you'll lose.

189
00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:54,640
It's all for nothing.

190
00:11:54,710 --> 00:11:55,760
What do you think?

191
00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:58,550
I want to prosecute, but she's right.

192
00:11:59,050 --> 00:12:00,670
There's a good chance we'll lose.

193
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:03,350
I want to go through with it.

194
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:05,410
He raped me.

195
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:10,729
How can I just let him get away with it?
You understand how tough, how strong

196
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,790
you'll have to be in that witness chair.

197
00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:15,200
I can do it.

198
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:17,090
I'm ready to do it.

199
00:12:17,690 --> 00:12:18,740
And so am I.

200
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:28,130
regret this, Charlie.

201
00:12:28,270 --> 00:12:29,470
I'm a lousy bowler.

202
00:12:29,471 --> 00:12:33,149
Anybody can roll a ball, Grace. Besides,
you're probably a lot better than

203
00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:36,329
Victor. What are you talking about? I
kicked your ass last time. Sure you did.

204
00:12:36,330 --> 00:12:37,380
Sure you did. Stinks.

205
00:12:38,050 --> 00:12:39,270
Stinks. Stinks.

206
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:42,230
Obey me. Go into your car, sir.

207
00:12:42,231 --> 00:12:45,149
Hey, you gonna follow me? I don't need
to follow you. I know where I'm going.

208
00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:46,950
You just make sure you don't get lost.

209
00:12:47,090 --> 00:12:48,170
Yeah. Great.

210
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:49,740
He stinks.

211
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:51,450
This is good to know, Charlie.

212
00:12:52,730 --> 00:12:54,810
You are in deep trouble here. Why?

213
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:56,520
Family likes you.

214
00:12:56,521 --> 00:12:57,619
Oh, no.

215
00:12:57,620 --> 00:12:58,940
What comes after bowling?

216
00:12:58,941 --> 00:13:02,759
What comes after bowling? Last year, he
dragged me to poor man's polo on cows.

217
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,810
Real flow.

218
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,010
Yeah, right.

219
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,650
Johnny!

220
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,940
What happened?

221
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,890
Johnny!

222
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,960
Help! Somebody help!

223
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,330
Johnny!

224
00:13:20,540 --> 00:13:21,720
Come on, get away.

225
00:13:22,420 --> 00:13:23,600
Come on, get down.

226
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,480
And, Lori, where did you first meet this
group?

227
00:13:38,780 --> 00:13:39,830
At the bar.

228
00:13:39,940 --> 00:13:43,919
They were on a business trip or
something, and then he invited us up to

229
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,520
suite. How old are you, Lori?

230
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Sixteen. And what were you doing in a
hotel bar having drinks?

231
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:57,179
I don't know. We were just sitting home,
bored, and... I don't know. We just

232
00:13:57,180 --> 00:13:58,230
decided to go out.

233
00:13:58,340 --> 00:14:03,239
Okay. But I want you to tell us exactly
how you happened to go up to the

234
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,760
defendant's hotel suite.

235
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:08,040
There were two other men and a woman
besides Carol and me.

236
00:14:08,410 --> 00:14:11,480
And we talked about ordering room
service and stuff up there.

237
00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:17,729
And... Well, Carol and I just thought, I
mean, we didn't think they were

238
00:14:17,730 --> 00:14:18,870
dangerous or anything.

239
00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:21,810
Okay. So what happened after you got
there?

240
00:14:22,090 --> 00:14:25,630
Well, we all talked and we danced a
little. There was a stereo.

241
00:14:26,810 --> 00:14:28,670
And I was dancing with him.

242
00:14:29,830 --> 00:14:33,530
Oren. Did you like him? Sure. I mean, he
seemed really cool.

243
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,280
even though he was older.

244
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,450
So what happened?

245
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,439
Well, at about 12 .30, Carol said she
had to leave because she had to be home

246
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,320
1. He said he'd drive me home, so I...
You stayed?

247
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,460
Yeah. And what happened after your
girlfriend left?

248
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,620
Well, then the other people left, too, I
guess to go back to their rooms.

249
00:14:54,480 --> 00:15:00,779
And then he made another drink, and then
we

250
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:02,000
hugged.

251
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,160
And then we kissed.

252
00:15:04,460 --> 00:15:05,880
You willingly kissed him?

253
00:15:06,220 --> 00:15:07,270
Yeah.

254
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:08,590
Then what?

255
00:15:09,100 --> 00:15:15,080
Then the kissing started to get heavier,
you know, a lot.

256
00:15:16,220 --> 00:15:20,740
And then he began putting his hands on
my breasts.

257
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,000
And I told him no, but he just kept
telling me to relax.

258
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:31,060
And then he pushed me onto the bed.

259
00:15:32,010 --> 00:15:34,230
And I tried to get away, but I couldn't.

260
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:37,730
And he just kept saying, you know you
want it.

261
00:15:38,850 --> 00:15:45,410
And then he pulled up my dress, and I
just screamed.

262
00:15:46,170 --> 00:15:50,369
And I tried to get out from under him,
but I couldn't because he had my arms

263
00:15:50,370 --> 00:15:54,150
pinned back, and he was just too strong,
and I couldn't get him off.

264
00:15:54,970 --> 00:16:00,790
And, well, the next thing I knew, he was
pushing himself inside me.

265
00:16:01,390 --> 00:16:04,970
When you say pushing himself inside of
you... He was raping me.

266
00:16:05,430 --> 00:16:07,990
I mean, I tried to fight him, but I
couldn't.

267
00:16:08,530 --> 00:16:09,580
Okay.

268
00:16:10,770 --> 00:16:15,350
And, Laurie, are you sure the defendant
knew that you didn't want intercourse?

269
00:16:15,590 --> 00:16:19,930
Yes, he knew. I mean, I was screaming at
him to stop. I was screaming for help.

270
00:16:21,790 --> 00:16:22,840
He knew.

271
00:16:22,841 --> 00:16:24,269
Thank you.

272
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:25,410
I have nothing further.

273
00:16:25,550 --> 00:16:28,650
Let's take a short break. Let the
witness collect herself.

274
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:51,230
We've removed all the skull fragments.

275
00:16:52,490 --> 00:16:53,810
But the news isn't good.

276
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:56,720
What?

277
00:16:56,970 --> 00:16:59,680
You'll survive, but there's damage to
the brain stem.

278
00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,600
bilateral damage, especially to the
parietal and temporal lobes.

279
00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:06,520
It looks permanent.

280
00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:09,910
He's going to be extremely
dysfunctional.

281
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,640
How dysfunctional?

282
00:17:13,020 --> 00:17:18,319
I don't think he'll ever be able to
speak or even to understand verbal

283
00:17:19,079 --> 00:17:21,640
He'll be completely paralyzed on his
right side.

284
00:17:23,579 --> 00:17:24,779
We'll do whatever we can.

285
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,000
You were married to your husband for
three years?

286
00:17:35,340 --> 00:17:36,390
Yes.

287
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,320
Did you love him?

288
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:41,950
Very much.

289
00:17:43,940 --> 00:17:46,170
Did you know he was planning to divorce
you?

290
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,650
No.

291
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,780
Miss Davis, did you murder your husband?

292
00:17:54,340 --> 00:17:55,440
No, I did not.

293
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,700
Is your dress black?

294
00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:00,470
Yes.

295
00:18:02,410 --> 00:18:05,180
Did your lover, David Schaefer, murder
your husband?

296
00:18:05,450 --> 00:18:06,500
No, he did not.

297
00:18:08,670 --> 00:18:09,990
Do you know who hung him?

298
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:12,000
No, I do not.

299
00:18:15,230 --> 00:18:16,280
Thank you.

300
00:18:17,410 --> 00:18:18,490
That's all. We're done.

301
00:18:18,710 --> 00:18:21,000
Excuse us a second, Ricky. We'll be
right back.

302
00:18:27,090 --> 00:18:28,430
She's telling the truth.

303
00:18:28,431 --> 00:18:29,609
You sure?

304
00:18:29,610 --> 00:18:33,890
These things aren't foolproof. You know
that well as I do, but she passed.

305
00:18:35,010 --> 00:18:36,060
I gotta get my gear.

306
00:18:36,970 --> 00:18:38,810
Michael, news on Victor.

307
00:18:38,811 --> 00:18:42,269
It looks like the brother will have
permanent brain damage.

308
00:18:42,270 --> 00:18:43,320
Oh, God.

309
00:18:43,570 --> 00:18:45,150
Guy who hit him registered .16.

310
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:46,480
Drunk driver.

311
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:49,060
Obviously, anything he needs, we give it
to him.

312
00:18:54,510 --> 00:18:55,560
Hello, Miss Penn.

313
00:18:57,070 --> 00:18:59,300
Would it be all right if I called you
Laurie?

314
00:18:59,301 --> 00:19:03,169
Yeah. Laurie, that night in the bar, you
were dressed a little differently than

315
00:19:03,170 --> 00:19:04,830
you are right now, weren't you?

316
00:19:06,370 --> 00:19:08,690
Yeah. Nice dress, makeup.

317
00:19:09,250 --> 00:19:11,300
Would it be fair to say you looked
older?

318
00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:13,020
I guess.

319
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:15,070
Well, the bartender served you alcohol.

320
00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:16,320
We had fake IDs.

321
00:19:17,970 --> 00:19:21,690
Did you ever tell Mr. Baldwin that you
were under the age of 18?

322
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:28,199
No. And before he sat next to you, did
any of the guys at the bar, you know,

323
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:29,250
on you?

324
00:19:29,251 --> 00:19:30,699
A couple.

325
00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:32,919
You looked pretty adult that night,
didn't you, Laurie?

326
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Objection. Withdrawn.

327
00:19:34,001 --> 00:19:37,219
Laurie, why did you and your girlfriend
go to the bar that night?

328
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:40,639
I already said we were bored. We were
just looking for something to do.

329
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,839
You carry condoms in your purse, don't
you, Laurie?

330
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,759
Objection. Goes to consent, Your Honor.

331
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:45,599
All right.

332
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,659
You carry condoms in your purse, don't
you?

333
00:19:47,660 --> 00:19:49,770
Well, yeah, because my mother wants me
to.

334
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,570
To be safe, if I ever... Oh, so you were
out looking for sex that night.

335
00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:57,080
Objection! And I never told him that I
wanted to have sex with him.

336
00:19:57,081 --> 00:19:59,739
Laurie, how many drinks did you consume
that night?

337
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:01,240
Two. Two.

338
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,900
Were you inebriated?

339
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,130
I don't know.

340
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,370
Maybe just a little.

341
00:20:07,660 --> 00:20:12,380
Maybe. So when the two of you were
kissing, it became passionate, did it

342
00:20:12,631 --> 00:20:14,719
I don't know.

343
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,900
Well, you testified earlier that as we
were kissing...

344
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,280
He got heavier, you know, and a lot.

345
00:20:20,281 --> 00:20:23,659
Well, that didn't mean he could do what
he did. Did you put your hands on his

346
00:20:23,660 --> 00:20:24,710
buttocks, Laurie?

347
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:30,180
Did you grab his buttocks and pull them
towards you?

348
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,250
I don't remember.

349
00:20:32,251 --> 00:20:35,419
So it's possible that you did. The
witness said she doesn't remember.

350
00:20:35,420 --> 00:20:36,520
Move on, Mr. Bird.

351
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,300
Laurie, what did you do immediately
after the two of you made love?

352
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,580
We didn't make love. He raped me.

353
00:20:42,940 --> 00:20:46,440
What'd you do there? I left. I went to
the lobby and I got a cab.

354
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:51,119
Did you report to the hotel security
that you'd been raped? No, I just got

355
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:51,639
of there.

356
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,559
Where'd you go?

357
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,940
Home. Not to the hospital, not to the
police?

358
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,220
No, I just wanted to go home.

359
00:20:57,221 --> 00:21:00,139
And when you arrived at home, your
mother was waiting for you.

360
00:21:00,140 --> 00:21:01,380
Very angry, wasn't she?

361
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:06,820
I mean, dressed the way you were, all
that makeup, 2 .30 in the morning.

362
00:21:06,821 --> 00:21:09,159
Coming home drunk without your panties?

363
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,619
Objection. In fact, you were so afraid
of what she'd do that you made up this

364
00:21:12,620 --> 00:21:15,499
whole story of being raped. Isn't that
true? Objection. That's not true. He

365
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:16,550
raped me.

366
00:21:16,820 --> 00:21:20,679
Come on, Laurie. You'd rather commit
perjury than have your mother find out

367
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:21,780
truth? Objection.

368
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,900
Withdrawn. You know, you seem to be a
very nice young lady.

369
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,340
And I hope you realize that these lies
are hurting an innocent man.

370
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:32,650
Move to strike that?

371
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,840
Sustained. Come on, Mr. Byrd.

372
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,280
No further questions, Your Honor.

373
00:21:55,660 --> 00:22:00,399
I had him examined this afternoon by
three more doctors, including the best

374
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,710
neurologist in the state. I used him as
an expert in one of my trials.

375
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,930
He's not coming back.

376
00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:11,780
Charlie's only breathing right now
because of the machines.

377
00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:13,070
Well, I'm not giving up.

378
00:22:15,130 --> 00:22:22,049
The doctors, they say if he's lucky,
that he might be able to brush his teeth

379
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:25,809
feed himself, but that he's never going
to be able to communicate. He's never

380
00:22:25,810 --> 00:22:27,310
going to be able to understand.

381
00:22:28,990 --> 00:22:32,180
They told me that he's going to have the
mental capacity of a dog.

382
00:22:34,491 --> 00:22:40,679
You remember that Jamie Ferguson trial
that I had two years ago?

383
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,730
Mm -hmm.

384
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,510
Charlie and I, we used to talk about
that one a lot.

385
00:22:44,511 --> 00:22:48,659
I remember him saying that if he ever
got like that, that he wouldn't want to

386
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:51,120
suffering, hooked up to some device.

387
00:22:51,580 --> 00:22:53,020
Well, I'm not killing myself.

388
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,180
But he's gone, Pa. No, he's not gone.

389
00:22:55,420 --> 00:22:56,470
He's not gone!

390
00:22:56,860 --> 00:22:58,380
Charlie is not dead, Victor!

391
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,850
I don't want to let him go any more than
you do. He's my only brother.

392
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:08,090
We can't just let him live like that. We
can't just let him live like that, Pa.

393
00:23:11,411 --> 00:23:12,979
I know

394
00:23:12,980 --> 00:23:19,780
that.

395
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,560
God should have him now.

396
00:23:29,700 --> 00:23:31,780
I wish I could be strong to help your
son.

397
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:34,800
I know how much you'll hurt.

398
00:23:35,460 --> 00:23:39,940
I wish I could be strong.

399
00:24:22,350 --> 00:24:25,809
What do you mean we can't do it? He
isn't dead, Victor. We can't just

400
00:24:25,810 --> 00:24:27,610
disconnect. The damage is permanent.

401
00:24:28,090 --> 00:24:30,320
He'd be living like a vegetable. Not
totally.

402
00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:35,669
He'll have some use of his left side.
He'll be able to sit up. You told me

403
00:24:35,670 --> 00:24:36,930
he'd be living like a dog.

404
00:24:37,370 --> 00:24:39,250
Told me that. But that isn't brain dead.

405
00:24:39,251 --> 00:24:41,149
I'm sorry.

406
00:24:41,150 --> 00:24:44,749
The hospital just isn't authorized to
suspend life support under these

407
00:24:44,750 --> 00:24:45,800
circumstances.

408
00:24:45,801 --> 00:24:49,069
Victor, try to understand their
position. They really can't... How can I

409
00:24:49,070 --> 00:24:50,530
just exist like this?

410
00:24:50,531 --> 00:24:54,599
Charlie would never want to be kept
alive like that. Don't you understand

411
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:59,979
I can't do that. Victor, honey, we'll
get a court order. We'll go in this

412
00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:01,900
afternoon. I'll handle it, okay?

413
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,730
Okay? Okay.

414
00:25:05,740 --> 00:25:06,790
Doctor,

415
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,540
can I count on your support medically?

416
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,840
Absolutely. Thank you.

417
00:25:16,460 --> 00:25:18,240
Ms. Van Owen, you should know.

418
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,310
I'll back you 100%. You'll get no
argument from me.

419
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:23,740
But you will from the hospital.

420
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:25,570
Yeah.

421
00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:33,700
So, Mr. Baldwin, you thought that the
woman was older than 18.

422
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,239
Yes. She was sitting at a bar being
served alcohol when we met, so I assumed

423
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,720
had to be at least 21 years old.

424
00:25:40,980 --> 00:25:42,030
Uh -huh.

425
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:44,700
Did she ever at any time tell you her
true age?

426
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:47,730
No. And she looked a lot different than
she does right now.

427
00:25:47,731 --> 00:25:48,809
Okay, Mr. Baldwin.

428
00:25:48,810 --> 00:25:52,930
But even though you did mistakenly
believe that she was old enough to

429
00:25:53,230 --> 00:25:55,570
she said she did not consent.

430
00:25:55,810 --> 00:25:56,890
Well, that's not true.

431
00:25:57,230 --> 00:26:02,769
She initiated it. She did? I was
certainly a willing participant, don't

432
00:26:02,770 --> 00:26:07,409
wrong, but me pushing her on the bed and
forcing her, it's not even close to the

433
00:26:07,410 --> 00:26:09,690
truth. Well, what did happen?

434
00:26:09,950 --> 00:26:13,070
I had just made a drink and we were
standing over by the bed.

435
00:26:13,910 --> 00:26:16,390
It was all incredibly awkward because...

436
00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:20,370
Well, we both knew what we'd come back
to my suite for.

437
00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:22,390
Objection as to what the victim knew.

438
00:26:22,410 --> 00:26:23,460
Look,

439
00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:27,270
I am no ladies' man. I think I was more
nervous than she was.

440
00:26:27,850 --> 00:26:30,510
And I guess I was hoping she'd make the
first move.

441
00:26:30,511 --> 00:26:31,889
And did she?

442
00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:32,940
Yeah, sort of.

443
00:26:33,130 --> 00:26:38,070
She put her hand on my shoulder, and
then she ran it down my arm, into my

444
00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:40,030
and then she squeezed it.

445
00:26:40,031 --> 00:26:41,109
What'd you do then?

446
00:26:41,110 --> 00:26:46,070
I turned to her, and I put my arms
around her waist, and pulled her to me.

447
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,180
Gently. And then we hugged a little.

448
00:26:48,420 --> 00:26:53,500
I rubbed the top of her back, and we
kissed. And the kissing escalated.

449
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,980
And then it all progressed.

450
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,640
Continue, sir. We fell back on the bed,
and we made love.

451
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:02,420
We both made love.

452
00:27:02,900 --> 00:27:06,080
And afterwards, she kissed me goodbye,
and she left.

453
00:27:06,360 --> 00:27:10,440
Mr. Baldwin, did she ever scream at any
point?

454
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,280
No. God, no.

455
00:27:13,020 --> 00:27:14,900
If anything, she enjoyed herself.

456
00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:19,110
The next thing I know, the police show
up and charge me with rape.

457
00:27:19,111 --> 00:27:20,449
Thank you, sir.

458
00:27:20,450 --> 00:27:21,590
I have nothing further.

459
00:27:26,950 --> 00:27:30,200
When the police arrested you, you had
scratch marks on your neck.

460
00:27:30,270 --> 00:27:34,369
Yes, she did scratch me, but it was from
aggressive lovemaking. She wasn't

461
00:27:34,370 --> 00:27:35,349
telling me to stop.

462
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:36,910
How did her panties get ripped?

463
00:27:37,790 --> 00:27:38,840
I don't know.

464
00:27:39,170 --> 00:27:41,580
They may have torn while she was taking
them off.

465
00:27:42,030 --> 00:27:45,080
Oh. She took them off and ripped them
herself.

466
00:27:45,420 --> 00:27:47,740
I guess so. I pulled her dress up, yes.

467
00:27:48,180 --> 00:27:49,780
But she took off the panties.

468
00:27:50,620 --> 00:27:56,240
You say that when contact was initiated,
you put your arms around her waist.

469
00:27:56,241 --> 00:27:57,319
That's right.

470
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,219
Would you stand up outside the witness
box, please?

471
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:02,139
Your Honor. A little latitude, Your
Honor. I'd like him to show us exactly

472
00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:03,190
he's described.

473
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,090
Stand up.

474
00:28:06,980 --> 00:28:08,840
Laurie, could you come here, please?

475
00:28:08,841 --> 00:28:12,079
Objection. This will only take a second,
Your Honor. I beg the court's

476
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,130
indulgence.

477
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,260
You don't have to do this, Miss Penn.

478
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:16,970
Laurie, please.

479
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,380
Laurie, I want you to go to the witness
and stand before him.

480
00:28:28,980 --> 00:28:30,340
Laurie, please do it.

481
00:28:37,939 --> 00:28:41,719
Mr. Baldwin, could you show us how you
put your arms around her? I will get

482
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,700
through this a lot faster if you stop
jumping up. Sit down, Mr. Bird. Show us,

483
00:28:45,701 --> 00:28:46,579
Mr. Baldwin.

484
00:28:46,580 --> 00:28:49,050
Show us how you held her before the
kissing began.

485
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Now, show us how you pulled her towards
you.

486
00:29:01,700 --> 00:29:02,820
Show us, Mr. Baldwin.

487
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,360
Now, rub the top of her back like you
said you did.

488
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,120
Your Honor, this is outrageous.

489
00:29:12,121 --> 00:29:14,479
Mr. Byrd. Look, I don't care if you lock
me up for contempt.

490
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,759
I'm going to keep objecting to this
blatant sideshow. Mr. Byrd. Your Honor,

491
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,359
know what counsel is doing, and I'd like
to be heard in chambers.

492
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,410
Let's go.

493
00:29:21,411 --> 00:29:25,719
She's trying to shock the jury, Your
Honor, and there is no... Your guy

494
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,779
up the description. I just asked for a
demonstration. That's not what that was

495
00:29:28,780 --> 00:29:31,819
about. You just wanted the jury to see
the girl in his arms and be disgusted.

496
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:34,619
That's right. I wanted him to get the
picture. But that wasn't the picture.

497
00:29:34,620 --> 00:29:37,639
was dressed totally different that
night, Your Honor. All right, Mr. Byrd.

498
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,499
Honor, I want to put on my
demonstration.

499
00:29:39,500 --> 00:29:42,879
Meaning what? She put the girl up there
to punctuate to the jury just how young

500
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,689
she looked.

501
00:29:43,690 --> 00:29:46,329
I'd like permission to dress Laura Penn
the way she was dressed that night. I

502
00:29:46,330 --> 00:29:49,509
object to that. Her appearance is
directly relevant to my client's defense

503
00:29:49,510 --> 00:29:52,009
he thought she was of age. What are you
proposing to do?

504
00:29:52,010 --> 00:29:54,829
The girls took a picture of themselves
before they left that night, so we have

505
00:29:54,830 --> 00:29:56,109
means of assuring accuracy.

506
00:29:56,110 --> 00:29:59,569
We'll send her to an independent makeup
artist. She can wear the same dress.

507
00:29:59,570 --> 00:30:00,389
Oh, please.

508
00:30:00,390 --> 00:30:03,789
Your Honor, the jury should be allowed
to see her this way. It is vital to

509
00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:06,669
understanding of the event. Your Honor,
I could not be more opposed.

510
00:30:06,670 --> 00:30:07,720
All right, look.

511
00:30:07,721 --> 00:30:11,249
You had him see her your way. The
defendant could be prejudiced if I don't

512
00:30:11,250 --> 00:30:12,300
him his shot.

513
00:30:12,570 --> 00:30:14,490
The court will appoint a makeup person.

514
00:30:14,491 --> 00:30:15,209
Your Honor.

515
00:30:15,210 --> 00:30:17,529
Miss Clemens, I got to let them put on
their defense.

516
00:30:17,530 --> 00:30:20,050
The jury will see her before closing
arguments.

517
00:30:20,051 --> 00:30:21,169
That's all.

518
00:30:21,170 --> 00:30:23,280
You don't think this is a little bit
sick?

519
00:30:23,330 --> 00:30:24,930
This is a rape trial, counsel.

520
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:26,990
Everything about it makes me sick.

521
00:30:27,430 --> 00:30:28,550
Tomorrow at 10 a .m.

522
00:30:37,570 --> 00:30:39,050
This here's the deceased.

523
00:30:40,470 --> 00:30:41,520
Before.

524
00:30:42,690 --> 00:30:43,740
And after.

525
00:30:44,150 --> 00:30:45,470
Wait, this one's better.

526
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:49,290
Look at his face. Is he blue?

527
00:30:49,610 --> 00:30:50,660
He ain't happy.

528
00:30:50,661 --> 00:30:55,409
Victim had a bruise, top of forehead.
They might be saying the killer knocked

529
00:30:55,410 --> 00:30:57,450
him cold before stringing him up. Damn.

530
00:30:58,270 --> 00:31:02,109
The guy's teeth. I don't believe it. The
cord must have squeezed him right out

531
00:31:02,110 --> 00:31:04,030
of his head. That's an incredible shot.

532
00:31:05,050 --> 00:31:06,100
The boyfriend.

533
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,940
David Schaefer. Guilty.

534
00:31:08,900 --> 00:31:11,680
His trial is separate. It starts in
about two weeks.

535
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:13,680
Abby, I want you to monitor that. Sure.

536
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:17,180
Victim's daughter cut out of the will.

537
00:31:17,620 --> 00:31:20,180
We should do some digging on her.

538
00:31:21,900 --> 00:31:24,000
Mildred Spicer, next door neighbor.

539
00:31:24,340 --> 00:31:28,460
She did it. She would come over twice a
week and scratch the victim's feet.

540
00:31:28,740 --> 00:31:32,540
Sweet. Yeah, she has a criminal record
for kleptomania. She does.

541
00:31:34,100 --> 00:31:36,390
Okay, that's all the photos in the
police box.

542
00:31:36,900 --> 00:31:39,080
Okay. All right, people, now look.

543
00:31:39,081 --> 00:31:41,919
If we're going to win this thing, we
either have to hand the jury another

544
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,380
suspect or sell suicide.

545
00:31:43,381 --> 00:31:47,059
We're going to have to pick one thing
and run with it. In the meantime, I've

546
00:31:47,060 --> 00:31:48,139
called a press conference.

547
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:51,019
The media's coming out with stuff on
this every day, and since prospective

548
00:31:51,020 --> 00:31:54,619
jurors are probably reading about it, I
want to have our version in print, too,

549
00:31:54,620 --> 00:31:55,860
as soon as possible.

550
00:31:55,861 --> 00:31:59,899
Now, Abby, I need the motion to suppress
by Friday. Jonathan, the same thing

551
00:31:59,900 --> 00:32:03,059
goes with the change of venue. CJ, I
want you to start working with the

552
00:32:03,060 --> 00:32:05,170
investigation team. And Stuart? The
will.

553
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,860
Let's get cracking on the will.

554
00:32:06,861 --> 00:32:09,619
Okay, everybody, that's it. I want an
acquittal here, people. That looked like

555
00:32:09,620 --> 00:32:11,539
pretty good knot in Michael. He had to
have help.

556
00:32:11,540 --> 00:32:14,280
Boyfriend. Yep, boyfriend did it. No
way. Too cute.

557
00:32:14,500 --> 00:32:15,880
Yeah, way too cute.

558
00:32:22,030 --> 00:32:26,309
Did you ever discuss with your brother
the possibility that he could end up

559
00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:27,360
this? Yes.

560
00:32:27,610 --> 00:32:31,409
I had had a case about two years ago
which involved a young woman who was in

561
00:32:31,410 --> 00:32:33,030
persistent vegetative state.

562
00:32:33,031 --> 00:32:37,069
And her parents were petitioning the
court to have the G -tube removed, which

563
00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:38,310
was keeping her alive.

564
00:32:38,810 --> 00:32:41,220
My brother and I had talked a lot about
that case.

565
00:32:41,470 --> 00:32:47,889
And he said... He said that if he ever
ended up where he couldn't speak or

566
00:32:47,890 --> 00:32:48,940
couldn't think...

567
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,520
He would not want to be kept alive by
artificial means.

568
00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:54,320
Was he clear in his intent?

569
00:32:54,820 --> 00:32:57,000
Yes. Yes, he was very clear.

570
00:32:57,900 --> 00:32:58,950
Thank you.

571
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,699
Your Honor, I submit the declarations of
three physicians, including the

572
00:33:03,700 --> 00:33:04,619
attending Dr.

573
00:33:04,620 --> 00:33:09,819
Nyberg, each stating that the left side
of Charles Cifuente's brain is

574
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:14,920
permanently destroyed, that he has
severely impaired cognitive brain

575
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,040
and that this condition is irreversible.

576
00:33:18,990 --> 00:33:20,130
I have nothing further.

577
00:33:27,470 --> 00:33:30,570
I'm very sorry for your tragedy, Mr.
Sufuentes.

578
00:33:31,030 --> 00:33:32,550
I'll try to keep this short.

579
00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:39,010
You and your brother never sat down
specifically to discuss this

580
00:33:39,030 --> 00:33:40,810
did you? He told me his wishes.

581
00:33:41,070 --> 00:33:43,060
Yes, in the context of one of your
cases.

582
00:33:43,170 --> 00:33:47,269
But your brother might not stay in a
vegetative state like the woman in that

583
00:33:47,270 --> 00:33:51,590
case. He might be able to sit up, to
recognize people, maybe feed himself.

584
00:33:51,790 --> 00:33:54,210
With therapy, maybe he could do even
more.

585
00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:58,389
Ma 'am, the doctors say at best he'll
end up with less intelligence than a one

586
00:33:58,390 --> 00:33:59,440
-year -old.

587
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:05,209
In the Jamie Ferguson case, according to
the transcript, you stood before the

588
00:34:05,210 --> 00:34:10,209
court and said a judge should never
measure the quality of a person's being

589
00:34:10,210 --> 00:34:12,830
decide whether that person has a right
to be.

590
00:34:13,250 --> 00:34:14,300
No.

591
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:17,889
That's exactly what you're asking this
judge to do.

592
00:34:18,090 --> 00:34:23,509
Well, at that time, I was standing up
for the hospital. Right now, I... Right

593
00:34:23,510 --> 00:34:24,849
now, I'm standing up for Charlie.

594
00:34:24,850 --> 00:34:27,110
Are you sure you want to do this?

595
00:34:27,710 --> 00:34:31,830
Are you sure you want to end your own
brother's life?

596
00:34:32,110 --> 00:34:33,489
Of course I'm not sure.

597
00:34:34,350 --> 00:34:35,770
I want him to be alive.

598
00:34:37,469 --> 00:34:40,429
But you see, it isn't about what I want.

599
00:34:41,889 --> 00:34:43,469
I know my brother.

600
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:46,980
And he would never want to end up like
this.

601
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,110
If he can't be himself, then he'd just
rather not be.

602
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:57,919
Back in the Ferguson case, you begged
the judge not to play God. You asked

603
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,480
for Jamie Ferguson's sake, to leave open
the possibility that God might be God.

604
00:35:02,860 --> 00:35:05,930
Why doesn't your brother deserve that
same consideration?

605
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,160
All right, let's bring her in.

606
00:35:32,820 --> 00:35:36,679
Members of the jury, the party stipulate
that Miss Penn's appearance today

607
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:39,920
fairly reflects the way she appeared the
night in question.

608
00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:44,960
Miss Penn, please walk up and stand
before the jury.

609
00:35:55,870 --> 00:35:58,040
I'd like her to turn to the side, Your
Honor.

610
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:00,720
Miss Penn?

611
00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:07,500
Now, if you would please turn around and
put your bat to the jury.

612
00:36:14,530 --> 00:36:15,790
All right, that's enough.

613
00:36:16,130 --> 00:36:18,240
Miss Penn, you can go back and sit down
now.

614
00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:22,410
Mr. Byrd, make your closing statement.

615
00:36:25,390 --> 00:36:29,090
Well, I think Laurie Penn just made it
for me.

616
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:33,100
I mean, how could any red -blooded
American male not be attracted to her?

617
00:36:33,570 --> 00:36:35,570
The bartender believed it would be 21.

618
00:36:36,790 --> 00:36:38,290
Other patrons believed it.

619
00:36:38,710 --> 00:36:41,870
My client believed it. And you can
certainly understand why.

620
00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:44,430
What a beautiful woman she is.

621
00:36:47,410 --> 00:36:51,950
As for consent, ladies and gentlemen,
she dressed herself like that.

622
00:36:53,450 --> 00:36:57,290
She equipped herself with condoms and
camped out at a hotel bar.

623
00:36:57,830 --> 00:37:03,829
She willingly went to my client's suite,
willingly kissed him, fondled him, and

624
00:37:03,830 --> 00:37:05,390
eventually she made love to him.

625
00:37:05,850 --> 00:37:12,570
Now, faced with a little guilt and a
disapproving mother, she made up a

626
00:37:13,110 --> 00:37:16,729
She got caught up in that story when Mom
went to the police, and now Oren

627
00:37:16,730 --> 00:37:18,610
Baldwin is entangled in it, too.

628
00:37:19,110 --> 00:37:22,870
I'm not going to assault your dignity by
trying to convince you.

629
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,640
that there is a reasonable doubt. You
must already know that.

630
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,160
Was Oren Baldwin guilty of bad judgment
that night?

631
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,450
Perhaps.

632
00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:35,200
But rape?

633
00:37:36,700 --> 00:37:38,120
That's just ridiculous.

634
00:37:55,150 --> 00:37:57,740
She dressed the way 16 -year -olds dress
these days.

635
00:37:58,250 --> 00:38:03,810
They grow up watching Madonna videos.
The black lingerie, sexy, is in.

636
00:38:04,370 --> 00:38:05,420
It's hip.

637
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:10,349
And the condoms in her purse. We teach
our children to carry condoms with the

638
00:38:10,350 --> 00:38:11,400
AIDS epidemic.

639
00:38:11,530 --> 00:38:15,670
Don't you dare accept its suggestion
that to do so is evidence of consent.

640
00:38:17,290 --> 00:38:19,050
And yes, she kissed him.

641
00:38:19,950 --> 00:38:24,849
And maybe she even grabbed his buttocks.
But she also did something else. She

642
00:38:24,850 --> 00:38:25,900
said no.

643
00:38:26,230 --> 00:38:29,790
Lori Penn pushed the defendant away and
told him no.

644
00:38:30,010 --> 00:38:33,850
And he responded with violent, forced
intercourse. That's rape.

645
00:38:34,290 --> 00:38:35,550
It isn't sex.

646
00:38:35,950 --> 00:38:38,450
It isn't making love. It's rape.

647
00:38:39,070 --> 00:38:45,649
And she's here today, willing to be
judged by you, willing to relive that

648
00:38:45,650 --> 00:38:48,720
vicious attack because that's the only
way to make the point.

649
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:56,659
that every woman, whether 16 or 60,
still has the

650
00:38:56,660 --> 00:38:57,820
right to say stop.

651
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,499
You don't forfeit it when you go to a
hotel room. You don't wave it when you

652
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:06,740
a condom or when you kiss a man, even
lying on a bed.

653
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:15,059
There is never a point, ladies and
gentlemen, where if a woman says no, a

654
00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:16,780
is entitled to overpower her.

655
00:39:18,020 --> 00:39:19,180
That's why she's here.

656
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,480
To make that one simple point.

657
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,360
A point that Orrin Baldwin refused to
get that night.

658
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,570
Please.

659
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,340
See that he gets it today.

660
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:44,860
This is hard.

661
00:39:46,180 --> 00:39:48,460
This isn't about somebody who's brain
dead.

662
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:55,819
This person might not even remain
comatose. He is capable of life,

663
00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:57,460
horrible life at that.

664
00:39:58,780 --> 00:40:05,639
I feel extremely uncomfortable at
drawing a line of, well, where

665
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,439
someone should be kept alive and where
they shouldn't. And I don't think it's

666
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,139
appropriate for judges to have this kind
of discretion to decide whether

667
00:40:15,140 --> 00:40:16,700
someone's life is worth living.

668
00:40:19,690 --> 00:40:26,430
But I have to trust the family that you
know what Charlie would have wanted.

669
00:40:27,010 --> 00:40:29,370
Mr. Sifuentes, are you sure?

670
00:40:36,290 --> 00:40:37,670
Yes, Your Honor, we're sure.

671
00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:43,550
Okay, I'm hereby granting your petition.

672
00:40:43,950 --> 00:40:46,540
The life support equipment shall be
disconnected.

673
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,820
I'll say a prayer tonight for everybody.

674
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,290
We're adjourned.

675
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,079
Thanks. Mr. Cusack, Mr. Cusack, over
here. Mr. Cusack, was it your success in

676
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,449
the Earl Williams trial that made Ricky
come to you?

677
00:41:13,450 --> 00:41:16,040
I won't speculate it's a wife. He chose
us as counsel.

678
00:41:16,041 --> 00:41:19,189
The most important thing for us is just
to prove her innocence.

679
00:41:19,190 --> 00:41:23,629
Mr. Mulaney, you said that you spent the
day with her. How would you describe

680
00:41:23,630 --> 00:41:24,649
her spirits?

681
00:41:24,650 --> 00:41:28,209
Her husband's dead. The police are
blaming her. You people are calling her

682
00:41:28,210 --> 00:41:30,070
hanging bitch every day in the papers.

683
00:41:30,170 --> 00:41:31,220
She is unhappy.

684
00:41:32,350 --> 00:41:35,180
What are you going to do that her last
lawyer didn't try?

685
00:41:35,250 --> 00:41:39,529
Any comment on our strategy would be
premature. Except to say that we're

686
00:41:39,530 --> 00:41:40,910
to show that she didn't do it.

687
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,780
Most likely, the guy killed himself.

688
00:41:45,940 --> 00:41:49,800
What is your basis for thinking that Mr.
Davis took his own life?

689
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:54,219
Well, he had a few squirrels running
around up there. Let's face it, the guy

690
00:41:54,220 --> 00:41:57,439
a kook. How do you explain the severe
bruise on the side of the head?

691
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,870
I think when the homicide dicks cut him
off the beam, he fell in a heap.

692
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,720
Mr. Mulaney, do you expect Ricky to
testify?

693
00:42:03,721 --> 00:42:07,559
Well, at this time, we have not yet
determined whether or not Ms. Davis will

694
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,920
take her stand. But if you're gonna
bet... Put your money on, yeah.

695
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,200
Yeah, now hold on.

696
00:42:14,460 --> 00:42:17,440
Make it easy. I will get all of you.

697
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,540
It worked.

698
00:42:23,020 --> 00:42:26,739
They loved you. You came off as Mr.
Candid, a straight shooter. If we got to

699
00:42:26,740 --> 00:42:29,139
manipulate a headline or two down the
line, you're going to have an inside

700
00:42:29,140 --> 00:42:30,400
track. I hope you're right.

701
00:42:30,401 --> 00:42:33,299
Are you kidding? They were ready to
adopt you out there.

702
00:42:33,300 --> 00:42:37,460
You watch. We do this a few more times,
and the press is going to be our friend.

703
00:42:37,580 --> 00:42:38,840
I got to admit, this is fun.

704
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,580
Of course it is. This is a case of a
lifetime.

705
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,870
Mr. Foreman, the jury has returned a
verdict.

706
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,090
Yes, Your Honor.

707
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:55,140
On the count 3 -2 -7 -4, statutory rape,
we find the defendant, Oren Baldwin,

708
00:42:55,380 --> 00:42:56,430
not guilty.

709
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:03,139
On the count 3 -2 -7 -5, rape, we find
the defendant, Oren Baldwin, guilty as

710
00:43:03,140 --> 00:43:04,190
charged.

711
00:43:06,021 --> 00:43:12,709
Your Honor, Your Honor, the people ask
that bail be revoked and that the

712
00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:14,390
defendant be remanded to custody.

713
00:43:14,391 --> 00:43:18,269
Opposed. It is so ordered the court
officers will take him into custody?

714
00:43:18,270 --> 00:43:19,690
Honor. Forget it, counsel.

715
00:43:20,650 --> 00:43:21,700
Court is adjourned.

716
00:43:37,799 --> 00:43:40,629
Victor, I don't think the family should
stay in the room.

717
00:43:48,380 --> 00:43:52,180
I think you should go outside now, okay?

718
00:44:11,700 --> 00:44:13,280
Baby. Go with God.

719
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:15,920
Be with God.

720
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:23,079
I think

721
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:28,880
I'm going to want to stay with him.

722
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:31,700
I want to be here with him, okay?

723
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:34,810
Tell me when.

724
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,030
I hope we're doing the right thing here,
Charlie.

725
00:44:51,340 --> 00:44:54,480
I know you don't like being like this.

726
00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:57,840
I'm gonna be okay, Charlie.

727
00:44:58,940 --> 00:45:00,800
You don't have to worry about anybody.

728
00:45:41,690 --> 00:45:42,990
I'm still here Charlie.

729
00:45:45,670 --> 00:45:46,890
I'm right here Charlie.

730
00:45:47,881 --> 00:45:49,979
I'm right here.
