1 00:00:00,929 --> 00:00:02,650 Previously on L .A. Law. 2 00:00:02,870 --> 00:00:03,870 Your mother? 3 00:00:04,290 --> 00:00:05,290 She's gone. 4 00:00:05,850 --> 00:00:07,470 Oh, I'm so sorry. 5 00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:11,670 On the distant peaks of this world's horizon. 6 00:00:12,110 --> 00:00:15,550 For life goes on. What are you doing? 7 00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:17,890 No death. 8 00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:19,350 Who are you? 9 00:00:19,970 --> 00:00:21,170 I'm your brother. 10 00:00:21,710 --> 00:00:24,870 Gordon. A devotion to loved ones. 11 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:28,620 Attorney Michael Greenbaum, representing the co -defendant in this matter, has 12 00:00:28,620 --> 00:00:30,880 apparently taken ill and can't continue. 13 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,440 So we're going to have to suspend our trial schedule temporarily until we 14 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,440 appoint somebody else. 15 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,460 I want somebody with murder one experience. 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,520 Well, I don't know if she'd be interested, but I could ask former 17 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,740 Grace Van Owen. She's done plenty of capital cases. 18 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,580 So what do you say? Will you do it? 19 00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,360 It'd be fun to work together, wouldn't it? Yes, it would. 20 00:00:51,660 --> 00:00:52,660 I wish you well, Douglas. 21 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,200 And if you're ever in Seattle, if you feel like looking me up, I'd be honored. 22 00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:00,340 Wait! 23 00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:03,080 What do you do in Seattle? 24 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,500 I'm a psychotherapist. 25 00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:06,640 Have you ever given yourself to him? 26 00:01:06,980 --> 00:01:08,020 Not given in. 27 00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:11,780 But really given. 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,040 I want to try. 29 00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:16,740 Me too. 30 00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:30,250 Please, Miss Van Olden. 31 00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:31,990 I'm begging you. 32 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:36,290 Take my case, please. I didn't do anything. I'm taking your case, Tom. 33 00:01:37,670 --> 00:01:41,510 No positive ID, no trace of the gun, and the priors are inadmissible? 34 00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:44,930 Well, except to impeach. So if we don't put our guys in the stand, the jury will 35 00:01:44,930 --> 00:01:46,090 never know about the other holdup. 36 00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:52,950 May I start this meeting by taking a moment to say how in the hustle -bustle 37 00:01:52,950 --> 00:01:57,010 our busy lives, it's so easy for the intimacy and the sharing to be lost. 38 00:01:57,790 --> 00:02:01,410 I just want you to know that you all mean a great deal to me. 39 00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:06,030 That said, Wochuk versus City of Industry Press. 40 00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:08,850 Copyright infringement. We just received their interrogatories. 41 00:02:09,110 --> 00:02:11,150 Michael, how goes your murder case? 42 00:02:11,630 --> 00:02:15,250 It goes. No significant differences in strategy between you and Grace? 43 00:02:15,650 --> 00:02:16,650 Not yet. 44 00:02:17,670 --> 00:02:19,550 Are we looking at a lengthy trial here? 45 00:02:19,870 --> 00:02:22,170 I don't think so. Neither of us is letting our client testify. 46 00:02:22,510 --> 00:02:23,870 Excellent. Arnold. 47 00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:28,520 Lieber versus Lieber. He's lost 30 pounds. Now she's campaigning for 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,520 reconciliation. 49 00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:30,580 Stay tuned. 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,820 Apropos of which, I'd like a moment of your time this morning to discuss 51 00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:36,700 Brackman versus Brackman. 52 00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:39,580 Granted. Finally, in re, Tracy A. 53 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Dr. Lawrence and I are meeting with the hospital administrators this morning. 54 00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:47,360 I'm sorry, but I can't believe you've taken this case on. 55 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,440 I've taken it on. 56 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,918 Because Dr. 57 00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,740 Lawrence's medical group is our client. 58 00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:57,580 As a woman, how can you justify getting a court order to prematurely deliver 59 00:02:57,580 --> 00:03:01,860 this baby against her will? Must we endlessly debate this? I would think 60 00:03:01,860 --> 00:03:04,880 you of all people wouldn't be siding with the right to lifers on this one. 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,300 is not an abortion case, Arnold. And I'm surprised at you for not seeing the 62 00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,800 difference. You've got a pregnant woman in the late stages of acute terminal 63 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,100 leukemia who refuses at giant risk to her child to let the doctor deliver four 64 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:20,160 weeks early by cesarean. Anne, it's her body, and she has a right to make that 65 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,380 call. An eight -month -old fetus in utero or out. 66 00:03:23,980 --> 00:03:28,500 has rights too. No. Civil rights do not vest until you're born. Oh, please. 67 00:03:28,660 --> 00:03:32,340 We're talking about an infant with a better chance right now at survival 68 00:03:32,340 --> 00:03:36,100 its mother than inside. At the cost of the mother's life. The mother is 69 00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:39,960 terminal. So it's okay for the court to issue an order which in effect sentences 70 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,520 this woman to die by C -section? 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,520 I think we're adjourned. 72 00:05:46,700 --> 00:05:49,660 Douglas, I want you to be the first to know. Know what? 73 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,400 I'm in love. 74 00:05:52,740 --> 00:05:54,400 Really? Who's the lucky woman? 75 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Sheila Brackman. 76 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,960 I know what you're thinking, but it's true. 77 00:05:59,460 --> 00:06:00,780 She's been throwing pots. 78 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,680 Really? And we're talking again. 79 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,180 Really communicating. 80 00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:06,740 Really sharing. 81 00:06:07,540 --> 00:06:11,220 What brought all this on? She's made a major breakthrough, psychology -wise. 82 00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:15,850 And we're seriously considering recommitting to each other marriage 83 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:21,130 fidelity -wise, sex -wise. That's great, Douglas. That's really great. 84 00:06:21,470 --> 00:06:26,490 So, I was thinking we might want to cancel our settlement meeting. 85 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:30,990 This is where I'm going to have to disagree, Douglas. Look, if the two of 86 00:06:30,990 --> 00:06:33,930 are getting back on the treadmill, what better form than a settlement conference 87 00:06:33,930 --> 00:06:37,570 in which to test your newfound communication? 88 00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:40,450 I suppose there is some wisdom in that. 89 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,220 I just don't want an adversarial proceeding. 90 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:45,660 Nothing will make me happier than to see you happy, Douglas. 91 00:06:46,180 --> 00:06:47,180 Thank you, my friend. 92 00:06:47,980 --> 00:06:48,980 Thank you. 93 00:06:50,940 --> 00:06:56,040 I'm sorry, but if we force a C -section on a woman against her will, we're 94 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,260 looking at major litigation. 95 00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:01,260 The court will be doing the forcing, Mr. Goodwin, not you. We just need the 96 00:07:01,260 --> 00:07:02,260 hospital's support. 97 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:06,560 Our lawyers tell us that we are not totally insulated by a court order. 98 00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,260 We still run the risk of liability to the extent that we help get that court 99 00:07:11,260 --> 00:07:14,300 order if it's later reversed. Is that all you think about? Legal liability? 100 00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,660 Bradley, we... This is why we have insurance for God's sake. No, this is 101 00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:19,120 than a matter of insurance, Bradley. 102 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,920 Our concern here is... Your only concern is exposure, and I find that 103 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400 reprehensible. All you can think about is negative publicity and higher 104 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,340 premiums. We're talking about saving a human life. What we're talking about 105 00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:33,960 here, Doctor, is a hospital being asked to trample the legal rights of a 106 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:34,960 patient. 107 00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:39,370 Even if the operation is a complete success, we're still staring at a 108 00:07:39,370 --> 00:07:42,330 with big numbers, probably sponsored by the ACLU. 109 00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:46,410 Now, if either the mother or the fetus should die during the procedure, and 110 00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:50,630 that's a very real possibility, we are going to be faced with catastrophic 111 00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:54,750 damages. Mr. Goodwin. On the other hand, if we do nothing and the mother dies of 112 00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:58,930 leukemia, our exposure on her death is zero. 113 00:07:59,430 --> 00:08:03,530 Now, as for the infant's death... We're told that a fetus has no cause of action 114 00:08:03,530 --> 00:08:08,250 for wrongful death. This is no fetus, mister. This is a viable baby girl who 115 00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:11,470 also a patient in your hospital, and you have a duty of care to... Our attorneys 116 00:08:11,470 --> 00:08:15,570 tell us that a fetus has no legal rights before it's born. You're worried about 117 00:08:15,570 --> 00:08:18,150 liability, Mr. Goodwin. How's this for a scare? 118 00:08:18,530 --> 00:08:22,950 According to Dr. Lawrence, the longer that baby is left in utero, the more 119 00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:27,290 being oxygen -starved. She could be born alive with permanent brain damage. 120 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:32,100 I emphasize the word alive, Mr. Goodwin, as in lifelong physical and mental 121 00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:37,120 suffering. That is a lawsuit that will shut your doors, and I'll take the case 122 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,120 for free. 123 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:43,179 We will not support your position on this, Miss Kelsey. 124 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,300 Then I'll get the court order without you. 125 00:08:45,620 --> 00:08:46,620 Come on, Bradley. 126 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,720 We'll be back. 127 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,580 Come on, Gracie. 128 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,720 Cop to murder, too, and take the day off. 129 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,380 Thanks, but no thanks. 130 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,440 You really want to risk the death penalty with a 19 -year -old kid? 131 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,840 You've got no eyewitnesses to the crime. You can't trace the weapon. No gunshot 132 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,020 residue on a pair of gloves. You can't prove belonged to either boy. I'll take 133 00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:12,880 my chances. Hey, Gracie. 134 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,480 How many years we worked together putting scum like this away, huh? 135 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,320 You and I both know they did it. Let's not waste time. I'm not the DA on this, 136 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,020 Walt. I am a defense attorney. 137 00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:29,310 And if I were still in the department, I probably wouldn't even prosecute this 138 00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:33,470 loser. Well, it might not be open and shut, but it is no loser. I wouldn't be 139 00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:36,530 involved. Really? Then how come you're squirming for a last -minute plea? 140 00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:39,330 Don't you underestimate me, Grace. 141 00:09:40,270 --> 00:09:41,470 I'm going to get these guys. 142 00:09:43,590 --> 00:09:49,190 The evidence will show that the defendant, Andrew Prescott, 143 00:09:49,270 --> 00:09:53,850 walked into Leo Madison's corner convenience store. 144 00:09:54,670 --> 00:10:01,630 At midnight, January 7th, 1988, he rested the barrel of a sawed 145 00:10:01,630 --> 00:10:07,950 -off shotgun against Mr. Madison's left temple, and then, after cleaning out the 146 00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:09,730 cash register, pulled the trigger. 147 00:10:10,030 --> 00:10:14,830 And a 63 -year -old grandfather was suddenly, brutally dead. 148 00:10:16,670 --> 00:10:23,230 Mr. Prescott then ran out of the store, where he was seen... 149 00:10:23,450 --> 00:10:28,690 by a witness jumping into a car driven by that man, Thomas Mullaney. 150 00:10:29,010 --> 00:10:32,050 You will be shown the gun that was found in the store. 151 00:10:33,770 --> 00:10:38,630 We will present to you a pair of black gloves that Mr. Prescott was seen 152 00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:42,050 throwing into a storm drain two miles from the scene. 153 00:10:42,270 --> 00:10:48,410 And you will be told that when the police arrived at the store, they found 154 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:49,650 Madison in a pool of blood. 155 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:55,920 His brains splattered against the back wall with virtually no face left. 156 00:10:56,660 --> 00:11:02,080 I warn you, the evidence will sometimes be graphic. And I apologize to you if 157 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040 during the course of this trial I should cause any of you to feel squeamish. 158 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,000 But homicide is sickening, ladies and gentlemen. 159 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,020 And this trial is about a cold -blooded, brutal murder. 160 00:11:41,819 --> 00:11:43,420 Douglas. I brought you a present. 161 00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:46,960 Um, it's kind of not a great time right now. 162 00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,060 Fifty pounds of wet clay from Westwood Potters. 163 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Uh, Douglas, I'm really in the middle of something. I appreciate that, and I 164 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,220 have no wish to intrude on your creative process, but I'm standing here getting 165 00:11:59,220 --> 00:12:00,220 a hernia. 166 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,540 Go away. 167 00:12:01,900 --> 00:12:03,800 It's okay, Sheila. Let him in. 168 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:05,600 Gordon? Is that Gordon? 169 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,060 Yes. I'm glad you're here. 170 00:12:09,050 --> 00:12:10,730 I tried calling you. Your hotel. 171 00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:17,690 What is going on here? 172 00:12:18,050 --> 00:12:19,050 We're throwing pot. 173 00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:23,090 Naked? Yeah. 174 00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:24,610 You ought to give it a try. 175 00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:25,850 Come on. 176 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:28,850 Jump out of that suit. Plunge in. Come on. Get out! 177 00:12:29,090 --> 00:12:30,510 Okay. You're threatened. 178 00:12:30,770 --> 00:12:32,770 Let's talk about it. Out now! 179 00:12:33,150 --> 00:12:36,350 You get out, Douglas! This is my face! Which I own. 180 00:12:36,570 --> 00:12:42,000 I want him out! I knew it. I knew he would try to destroy everything. 181 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,620 Sheila, what did we talk about? Release. 182 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,760 I can't. I can't. He's a pagan. I hate him. Douglas, I think you're 183 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,300 to what is really a very loving and innocent expression of the creative 184 00:12:55,420 --> 00:12:59,520 Now, come on. If you just roll up your sleeves and throw a potter to yourself. 185 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:00,560 Good idea. 186 00:13:00,680 --> 00:13:02,100 Douglas, don't be scared. 187 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,940 You're right. I like it. I work. 188 00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:11,310 Yeah. Vent it. 189 00:13:11,570 --> 00:13:13,710 Let it out. He's enjoying it. 190 00:13:14,050 --> 00:13:15,050 Yeah. 191 00:13:16,230 --> 00:13:17,890 Yeah. Faster. 192 00:13:18,510 --> 00:13:19,510 Yes. 193 00:13:20,590 --> 00:13:22,190 Oh, yes. 194 00:13:25,390 --> 00:13:26,230 I 195 00:13:26,230 --> 00:13:34,490 want 196 00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:35,490 an injunction. 197 00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:38,050 I don't want him near my house, Sheila's loft. 198 00:13:38,290 --> 00:13:39,770 Hold on. And call Ivan McCary. 199 00:13:39,970 --> 00:13:42,550 I'm not paying the mortgage. I'm turning off the electricity. 200 00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:46,330 She's not getting another dime. Idle threats may make you feel better, 201 00:13:46,410 --> 00:13:49,670 but Sheila is going to go into court, get a support order, and we are going to 202 00:13:49,670 --> 00:13:51,650 be right back where we started. I don't care. 203 00:13:52,210 --> 00:13:55,510 I want to crush them. Then let's crush them constructively. 204 00:13:55,790 --> 00:13:56,790 How? 205 00:13:57,310 --> 00:14:00,050 First, I'm going to do a complete background check on this guy. Plus, I'm 206 00:14:00,050 --> 00:14:02,030 to contact the American Psychoanalytic Association. 207 00:14:02,470 --> 00:14:05,050 We may have grounds for a fat malpractice suit here. 208 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,600 Good. What else? 209 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,720 It'll be ugly and expensive. 210 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,620 I don't care. 211 00:14:11,060 --> 00:14:13,260 Until now, I've only talked to McCary about money. 212 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,060 If you want to drop a bomb at the settlement conference tomorrow, I say we 213 00:14:17,060 --> 00:14:18,060 the kids into play. 214 00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:21,620 File for custody on grounds she's not fit to be a mother. 215 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,140 Yes. I like it. 216 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,600 Do it. 217 00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:27,500 Okay. 218 00:14:28,020 --> 00:14:33,280 I show you this jacket marked People's Exhibit 3 and ask you if you recognize 219 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,280 it. Yes. 220 00:14:34,590 --> 00:14:37,950 It's the jacket that he was wearing when he came running out of the store. 221 00:14:38,210 --> 00:14:41,610 Let the record reflect that the witness has once again indicated the defendant, 222 00:14:41,910 --> 00:14:46,590 Andrew Prescott. Now, you're absolutely sure that this is the same jacket you 223 00:14:46,590 --> 00:14:47,590 saw that night? 224 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:50,290 Definitely. I remember that rip on the back. 225 00:14:50,650 --> 00:14:53,710 Yes, that's the exact tear I saw that night. Thank you. 226 00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:55,050 Nothing further. 227 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,800 No. 228 00:15:19,540 --> 00:15:21,860 You never saw his face, did you? 229 00:15:22,820 --> 00:15:25,560 No, I didn't. Thank you, Miss Salter. Nothing further? 230 00:15:29,450 --> 00:15:33,270 You say the man jumped into a car, Miss Salter. What kind of car? 231 00:15:33,750 --> 00:15:35,750 I don't know. It was a big car. 232 00:15:35,990 --> 00:15:37,730 Brown? Blue? Black? 233 00:15:38,210 --> 00:15:42,670 Two -door? Four -door? I don't know. It screeched away very fast after the man 234 00:15:42,670 --> 00:15:44,910 got in. And you never saw the driver, did you? 235 00:15:45,170 --> 00:15:47,890 No. For all you know, the driver could have been me. 236 00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:53,130 Yes. In fact, you don't know that the driver wasn't me, do you? 237 00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:55,950 No. No, I don't. 238 00:15:56,650 --> 00:15:57,650 No further questions. 239 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,780 Dr. Lawrence. 240 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:08,920 How can you do this to her? 241 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,580 To us? Chris, believe me. If for one moment I thought there was any other 242 00:16:13,620 --> 00:16:16,580 any chance at all for that baby... This is not about the baby. 243 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:17,840 This is about you. 244 00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:19,940 Deciding who lives and who dies. 245 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,200 I can't stand by unless they both die. 246 00:16:22,420 --> 00:16:23,420 Who says they will? 247 00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:24,700 Who the hell are you, God? 248 00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:28,520 All I am is a doctor. Two patients trying to figure out what's right. 249 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,850 right? is that you mind your own damn business. 250 00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:34,510 What's wrong is going into that courtroom looking for a death sentence 251 00:16:34,510 --> 00:16:35,670 wife. Counselor, please. 252 00:16:35,950 --> 00:16:36,950 Come on, Chris. 253 00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:38,570 We're not going to settle it out here. 254 00:16:42,570 --> 00:16:45,810 From what you're telling me, this operation could kill the mother. 255 00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:49,960 The mother is going to die before full term anyway, Your Honor. That much is a 256 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,879 medical certainty. 257 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,880 There is no such thing. It could be today or a week from today, but she is 258 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,260 terminal. The only question here is whether we're going to have one death or 259 00:16:58,260 --> 00:17:01,660 two. There is no chance of the baby getting leukemia, Your Honor. The blood 260 00:17:01,660 --> 00:17:05,319 supplies are separate. That's not the issue, Your Honor. The mother's system 261 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:06,159 shutting down. 262 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,480 If we don't get that baby out fast, it will die. 263 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,040 According to who? The same doctors who told Tracy she'd be dead a month ago? 264 00:17:12,220 --> 00:17:14,520 Miss Kelsey, what if the mother... 265 00:17:15,050 --> 00:17:17,089 doesn't die before the onset of labor. 266 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,819 According to Dr. Lawrence, it's highly doubtful she could survive labor, Your 267 00:17:20,819 --> 00:17:24,420 Honor. And it's virtually certain she'll not survive a cesarean. In the last 12 268 00:17:24,420 --> 00:17:28,140 hours alone, her condition has worsened, Your Honor. If my client dies, they can 269 00:17:28,140 --> 00:17:31,700 go in then. But they have no right to invade her body. The odds against a 270 00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:34,860 successful post -mortem delivery are prohibitive, Your Honor. Do you call it 271 00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:38,180 successful when a mother dies on the table? That's enough. Your Honor, I 272 00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:40,920 mean to dismiss the emotional arguments made by Mr. O 'Keefe. 273 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,720 But if you don't issue that court order, a viable life... 274 00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:48,690 an innocent baby girl will be dead. 275 00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:53,090 And we're talking about a death that's avoidable with one swing of your gavel. 276 00:17:55,090 --> 00:17:57,410 Mr. Arnett, help me out here, will you? 277 00:17:57,710 --> 00:17:59,630 I have to think you want this baby. 278 00:18:01,010 --> 00:18:02,450 Of course I want it, Judge. 279 00:18:04,790 --> 00:18:09,310 But they're asking... They're asking me to give permission to end Tracy's life. 280 00:18:10,030 --> 00:18:11,170 I can't do that. 281 00:18:11,450 --> 00:18:14,430 But according to the medical evidence, Mr. Arnett... 282 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,780 Her life is going to end very soon. 283 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,720 She feels in her heart that she can hang on, Your Honor. 284 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:31,180 She feels as a mother that she can fight off this disease long enough to take 285 00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:32,180 the baby to term. 286 00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:38,900 And lawyers and doctors keep telling her that she doesn't have the right to try. 287 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,020 And they're trying to rob her. 288 00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,480 Of the very moment that is keeping her alive. 289 00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:50,340 The moment when she gets to give birth. 290 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,800 To give life. 291 00:18:54,020 --> 00:18:56,900 They want to kill her before she could ever know that joy. 292 00:18:57,260 --> 00:18:58,700 And I just can't let them. 293 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,000 She doesn't want to die yet, Your Honor. 294 00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:05,860 She wants to keep fighting. 295 00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:14,850 I'll take this under advisement and make my ruling as quickly as possible. 296 00:19:30,370 --> 00:19:33,390 I'm, uh, I'm nervous about the red jacket, Mickey. 297 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,780 It takes more than a jacket ID to get a murder conviction. 298 00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:41,340 A red jacket with a distinctive grip. It does a good job of placing them at the 299 00:19:41,340 --> 00:19:45,120 scene. Trouble is, Gracie, you're still thinking like a DA. Remember, they've 300 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:49,220 got to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. I know it's the word reasonable 301 00:19:49,220 --> 00:19:50,300 that worries me. 302 00:19:50,980 --> 00:19:56,360 And you are sure that these are the same two men that you saw sitting in that 303 00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,380 car on the night of January 7th? 304 00:19:58,650 --> 00:20:02,230 I'm positive it was Thomas Mullaney in the driver's seat. As for the other 305 00:20:02,230 --> 00:20:05,310 fellow, I could only make out the red jacket when he got out of the car. 306 00:20:05,510 --> 00:20:07,110 And what did he do when he got out of the car? 307 00:20:07,330 --> 00:20:10,810 He threw what looked like a pair of gloves into the storm drain. 308 00:20:11,310 --> 00:20:13,350 Then he got back in the car and they drove away. 309 00:20:13,610 --> 00:20:14,610 Thank you, sir. 310 00:20:14,850 --> 00:20:15,850 That's all. 311 00:20:16,610 --> 00:20:20,210 You said the man threw what looked like a pair of gloves into the storm drain. 312 00:20:20,430 --> 00:20:22,370 Yes. You positive that they were gloves? 313 00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:25,930 Positive, no, but I... And you didn't see the man's face, correct? 314 00:20:26,690 --> 00:20:27,690 That's correct. 315 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,800 No further questions. 316 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,240 I have no questions for this witness. 317 00:20:38,220 --> 00:20:41,720 Your Honor, a ten -minute recess to confer with co -counsel? 318 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,060 Very well. This court will convene in ten minutes. 319 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,880 Why didn't you cross -examine? 320 00:20:56,940 --> 00:21:00,440 I've got nothing to cross him on. It doesn't matter. If you don't ask 321 00:21:00,660 --> 00:21:03,240 you're basically admitting to the jury that there's nothing to question. 322 00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:06,720 You use your strategies, I'll use mine, Counselor. 323 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,020 Grace, now what is going on here? 324 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,660 I'm thinking of having my client testify. 325 00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:17,640 Oh, are you crazy? 326 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,420 The first witness clearly put your guy at the scene. 327 00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:24,680 This witness just as clearly put my client with your guy. Yeah, but that 328 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,160 mean that you have to put him under... It means their circumstantial evidence 329 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,820 suddenly good circumstantial evidence. 330 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,880 The jury knows Thomas Mullaney was there, Michael. He's got to give an 331 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,100 explanation. Otherwise, they're going to assume... So what explanation? 332 00:21:36,660 --> 00:21:40,700 The truth. That he just sat in the car. That he didn't know... No, if he says 333 00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:42,140 that, then my guy is dead. 334 00:21:43,340 --> 00:21:47,220 I'm sorry, Michael, but your client can't be my concern. I have to do what's 335 00:21:47,220 --> 00:21:51,120 best for Melania. For God's sake, Grace, we agreed not to put them on the stand. 336 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,920 Because we thought there was no need. But after what I've seen... No! 337 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,620 You're not going to do this. 338 00:21:57,500 --> 00:22:01,860 Hey, you're the one who roped me into this. 339 00:22:02,270 --> 00:22:05,870 And now that I am a defense attorney, I'm going to damn well defend my client. 340 00:22:06,070 --> 00:22:08,810 Fine, but let me tell you what I'm going to do. I'm bringing a motion for 341 00:22:08,810 --> 00:22:12,310 separate trials right now because as far as my client is concerned, you think as 342 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:13,310 co -counsel. 343 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:15,310 Do whatever you want. 344 00:22:20,950 --> 00:22:21,950 And, uh... 345 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,800 I just stayed in the car while Andy got out. 346 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,060 I didn't even turn the engine off. 347 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,440 Your Honor, I renew my motion to sever. I object. 348 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:40,320 Counsel, approach. 349 00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:49,500 Mr. Cusack. Your Honor, our defense strategies are so incompatible. I gave 350 00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:50,740 my ruling on this yesterday. 351 00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:52,260 It's too late to sever. 352 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,840 I know, Judge, but I'm asking for a reconsideration here. You're not going 353 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,519 get one. 354 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,400 Your Honor. Your objection is preserved for appeal. 355 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,000 Now step back and proceed, everybody. 356 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,740 Mr. Mullaney, what happened after Mr. Prescott entered the store? 357 00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:09,940 Objection. Assuming facts, not an evidence. 358 00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:12,060 Sustained. Did Mr. 359 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,460 Prescott enter the store? Objection. Leading. Where did Mr. Prescott go? 360 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:17,880 Into the store. 361 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,760 Did you know why he went into the store? No, I thought... Objection. Asked and 362 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,120 answered. He said no. I am trying to establish the witness's state of mind. 363 00:23:26,120 --> 00:23:28,360 she didn't ask that. I am asking it now. 364 00:23:29,870 --> 00:23:32,230 The witness can answer the question. 365 00:23:33,710 --> 00:23:36,470 Um, I thought he was going in the store to buy beer. 366 00:23:37,170 --> 00:23:40,190 I'd even given him money for it.

I said overruled, Mr. Cusack. 372 00:23:58,890 --> 00:24:01,590 What did Mr. Prescott say when he got back into the car? 373 00:24:02,550 --> 00:24:05,930 He told me he shot the store owner and he thought he was dead. He's lying. 374 00:24:06,250 --> 00:24:09,730 Sit down, Mr. Prescott. I never said anything like that. I said sit down. 375 00:24:11,410 --> 00:24:15,530 Mr. Mullaney, what did you do after Mr. Prescott said this to you? 376 00:24:15,750 --> 00:24:21,410 Well, at first, I couldn't believe it. I mean, I didn't even know he had a gun. 377 00:24:21,670 --> 00:24:23,130 I never even saw a gun. 378 00:24:23,730 --> 00:24:28,270 Then Andy started screaming, take off, take off. 379 00:24:29,079 --> 00:24:30,240 So, so I did. 380 00:24:30,740 --> 00:24:33,340 We were, we were, we were so freaked out. 381 00:24:34,420 --> 00:24:36,060 We, we had to get a grip, you know. 382 00:24:36,540 --> 00:24:37,540 Thank you. 383 00:24:37,860 --> 00:24:38,920 I have nothing further. 384 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:45,300 Mr. Mullaney, on July 10th, 1986, you were convicted of breaking and entering 385 00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:48,060 burglary. Isn't that correct? Offered to impeach, Your Honor. A felony 386 00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:49,840 conviction. This is completely prejudicial. 387 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,060 Overruled, overruled, overruled. 388 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,800 I'm going to allow it for impeachment. 389 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,260 Members of the jury, you'll consider this conviction only as it pertains to 390 00:24:58,260 --> 00:24:59,260 witness's credibility. 391 00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:03,040 It has nothing to do with the crime he's charged with today. Go ahead, Mr. 392 00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:07,140 Cusack. Now, since the time of your arrest, Mr. Mullaney, you have 393 00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,680 maintained that you and Mr. Prescott were innocent. Is that correct? 394 00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:13,800 Well, yeah, but... And yet here you are today suddenly announcing that Mr. 395 00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:16,080 Prescott confessed the crime to you that very night. 396 00:25:16,360 --> 00:25:20,560 Now, tell us, were you lying to the police or are you simply lying to the 397 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,520 here today?

That's when I first saw him. 507 00:31:43,340 --> 00:31:46,240 He was just lying there on the floor. 508 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,220 Blood everywhere. 509 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,620 And what did you do then? 510 00:31:53,820 --> 00:31:57,940 I, uh... I panicked. 511 00:31:59,340 --> 00:32:03,180 I first thought, uh, call the police, but then, uh... 512 00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:05,550 I mean, how would that look? 513 00:32:06,070 --> 00:32:07,770 I mean, I have a criminal record. 514 00:32:08,710 --> 00:32:11,310 I've robbed stores just like this. 515 00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:16,810 So, I mean, I started thinking they're going to think I did it. 516 00:32:18,030 --> 00:32:20,370 So I just took off. I ran out. 517 00:32:21,730 --> 00:32:24,310 I, uh, I jumped in the car. 518 00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:26,330 I told Tommy to fly. 519 00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:28,730 I said the guy had been shot. 520 00:32:29,090 --> 00:32:31,350 Why don't we just get out of here before the cops come? 521 00:32:31,950 --> 00:32:37,070 That's all I said. I never said I killed the guy. I mean, he's lying. He knows I 522 00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:38,029 never did it. 523 00:32:38,030 --> 00:32:39,570 Objection as to what Tommy knows. 524 00:32:39,990 --> 00:32:44,110 Sustained. You gotta believe me. The guy was dead when I got there. He was just 525 00:32:44,110 --> 00:32:47,170 lying there in all that blood. 526 00:32:47,870 --> 00:32:49,190 I didn't do it. 527 00:32:50,250 --> 00:32:52,090 God knows I didn't do it. 528 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280 Michael, he was lying to you. Then why didn't you cross -examine him? 529 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,080 Because as you damn well know, the jury bought that garbage my guy walked 530 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,180 through. But that doesn't change the fact that you suborned perjury. That's 531 00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:15,980 true. My client demanded that I put him on a stand.
