by two separate
yet equally important groups:

by two separate
yet equally important groups:

the police,
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

Morning.

Adam?

Corinne?

Hello?

Oh, my God!

They were herded in here,
bound, gagged and shot.

The old man's got defense wounds on his
hands and arm.

He put up a struggle.

The little girl got it
in the back.

The others got shot in the head
execution-style.

.45.

Yeah, he didn't want
to take a chance

on anybody surviving.

Time of death?

Tentatively,
yesterday afternoon

between 2:00 and 4:00.

You got any IDs?

Yeah. Adam and
Corrine Bennett, owners

Gail Churchill,
jewelry designer--

her daughter Ellie.

Get the tapes from the
surveillance cameras.

You got it.

Lennie, this is Rebecca Kent.

She's the assistant
manager.

Ellie just had a birthday.

She was six.

Uh, you weren't
here yesterday?

I-I would've been,
but my mother broke her foot

and Adam told me
to take the day off.

They always put family first.

So are you going
to be okay getting us

an inventory list so we
can see what's missing?

We got two people outside
for you to talk to.

We'll be right with you.

We need the names
of ex-employees

and delivery people.

This officer will
go with you.

Okay.

I saw them around 3:00
yesterday.

Came in to show them
new pictures of my grandson.

I'm two doors down--
the bookstore.

You saw all four
of them?

Adam and Corrine.

I didn't see Gail
or the little girl.

They must've been
in the back.

What were the
Bennetts doing?

Adam was buried
in a stack of invoices.

Corrine was polishing
a bracelet.

But it doesn't
make sense.

I came by at 3:30
to have a ring resized.

The "Closed" sign
was on the door.

Did you have
an appointment?

No. They were always
open till 6:00.

That's the truth.

In 30 years, Adam never
closed early but once--

when Corrine went
into labor

with their son.

Well, where's he?

He teaches at the London School of
Economics.

Hasn't been home
in 18 months.

We got a problem.

What?

Security tapes are gone.

Now what am I going
to watch tonight?

It just keeps going through my head over
and over:

If I'd have picked my daughter up from
school yesterday...

she'd still be here.

Well, why didn't you?

I was at work.

Around lunch,
I started feeling a little off

like I was coming down

with something

so I called Gail and asked her to cover
for me.

Then I went home
and crawled into bed.

You and your ex-wife
were on good terms?

We had joint custody--
we had to be.

What time did Ellie
get out of school?

3:30.

And the school's
located where?

Upper East Side,
86th and 3rd.

Gail couldn't have gotten to
the Bennetts' much before 4:00.

Later than that.

Ellie had a dentist appointment
after school.

Are you sure?

Your man on the scene put the time
of death

between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.

Two victims were at a dentist's office
across town at that time.

Till after 5:00.

Can I get a word in here?

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett
were killed around 3:30.

Gail Churchill and her daughter
died two or three hours later.

Two or three hours?

5:30 at the earliest.

So he slaughters
the Bennetts

and then hangs around the crime scene for
more than two hours.

What was he doing--
trying on the goods?

Well, more likely,
he was waiting.

For Gail Churchill.

The killer had reason to believe
Gail would be there.

There's no way
he could know

she was picking
her daughter up.

She messed up his plan.

Murder one, staged
to look like robbery.

Let's find out who wanted
Gail Churchill dead.

Everybody loved Gail.

She was one
of those people

who lit up a room
when she came in.

People gravitated
towards her.

What about
her ex-husband?

He gravitated towards
her checkbook.

David was always full
of big dreams

that never went anywhere.

Gail had finally had it
with supporting him

and filed
for divorce.

She supported him

so she was pulling
in good money.

Her jewelry line
was really taking off.

She worked hard
for her success.

Detective, I admit
that we weren't

particularly fond
of David

but he just couldn't have done this
monstrous thing.

If you'd have seen
him with Ellie

you would have
known that.

Does the name "Jeff Barnes"
ring a bell?

He was her dentist.

And "Mary Fazekas"?

Maybe a school friend

or a business
acquaintance? Why?

Because there's
an entry here

the day before
the murders.

"Susan Prescott"?

Her attorney.

All right, what about
this guy "Mark L."?

He's in here a lot.

Mark Landry,
real estate broker.

They met when Gail
was apartment-hunting

after the divorce.

He found this place
for her.

They started dating
after the closing.

They'd been seeing each other
for the past few months.

We were very
happy about that.

Mr. Landry, we know this is a
difficult time.

I want to help
in any way I can.

Do you know if Gail had
any enemies?

I thought it was a robbery.

We just need to cover
all bases.

Speaking of which

where were you?

Uh, Carrington House.
I was showing a co-op there.

I can't believe you think
she was a target.

You can't think of
anybody she might

have had
problems with?

Her ex-husband, but I can't
think he would've done it.

Ellie was their daughter.

Whoever did it

got away with about
70 grand in merchandise.

We hear the ex was
always a little short.

That's a long away
from what you're suggesting.

I mean, I didn't like the guy,
but I can't think...

You didn't like
the guy-- why?

Gail was a wonderful woman.

She deserved to be
appreciated and loved.

David was just
all about himself.

David Churchill was married
to a jeweler for five years.

David Churchill was married
to a jeweler for five years.

I think he might know
how to unload some hot rocks.

Byrne went to their bank.

Mr. Churchill's checking
account-- $832 and some change.

Last deposit a week ago,
just under a hundred dollars.

All that proves
is he's not stupid enough

to put the proceeds in the bank.

He may not
need the proceeds.

What's that mean?

Same bank-- Gail Churchill
set up a trust fund

for her daughter.

In the event that both
Gail and Ellie died

David is the beneficiary.

For how much?

A quarter of a million.

Damn!

How do we get around
the time discrepancy?

The killer went
to the Bennetts' at 3:00

thinking Gail
would be there.

David Churchill knew she
wasn't going to be there

because she went to
pick up the daughter

to take her to the dentist.

A bluff to throw suspicion
off himself.

Well, why don't
we move

out of the realm
of speculation, if we can

and bring him in for a chat?

The trust fund?

I assumed Gail changed
the beneficiary

after we got divorced.

That is the exact position

that I would take
if I were in your shoes.

I buried my only child two
days ago.

You have no idea
what that does to you.

I did not kill her--

and I can't comprehend
why anybody would!

Look, we talked to a lot of Gail's
friends.

They said that you didn't
want the divorce--

that you were constantly
hitting her up for money

and that you didn't like the fact that she
was dating again.

I had no problem
with her dating.

I just didn't want that
Landry guy around my daughter!

Why is that?

I don't like him.

Apparently
the feeling's mutual.

So where'd you go
after you left work

the day of the murders?

I told you-- I was sick,
I went home!

Latent got a match
on some prints.

We got a hit on prints
that were found

both in Gail Churchill's
apartment

and in the jewelry store.

Ex-con named
Richard Morriston.

Who?

Fraud arrest in Colorado
two years ago.

Pled guilty to a misdemeanor.

Two domestic abuse arrests--
one in Chicago, one here.

The local
woman's name

was Susan Kimball.

Guy gets around.
Got a mug shot?

Sure.

Whoa.

Mark Landry--

Gail Churchill's
new boyfriend.

Not anymore.

Richard Morriston?

I knew him as Kevin Massey.

He had just gotten
his real estate license.

He found me an apartment

which I was dumb enough
to let him move into

after he'd blinded me
with charm.

What went wrong?

I suspected he was accessing

my corporate accounts
and using insider information

to make stock trades.

You confronted him?

He has sensitive antenna.

He knew something was wrong
and asked me what it was.

So I told him.

Big mistake.

Miss Kimball,
the police report says

your injuries kept you in
the hospital for two days.

Why'd you drop the charges?

I was afraid of him.

What's he done?

It's not clear yet

but he's left an
unattractive trail

from Denver to
Chicago to here.

Denver? He told me he came here
straight from Utah.

According to Salt Lake City PD,
Morriston dropped out

of University of Utah
Law School in '94

right after the disappearance
of his girlfriend, Beth Fazekas.

She was never found.

The "Mary Fazekas" in Gail
Churchill's appointment book--

that's Beth's mother.

We spoke to her this morning.

She says she's never heard
of Gail Churchill.

She's convinced Morriston
murdered her daughter.

She's been waiting six years
for a break in the case.

She's flying in.

So obviously Churchill found out about
Morriston's past.

More than that.

She must've known something
that put him in danger.

Nail it down,
and we've got a motive.

How does a con man bamboozle
so many smart women?

Practice, practice, practice.

You ever hear of an outfit called
Intelli-Mate?

Yeah, they run
background checks

for suspicious lovers.

How romantic.

You use them?

What have you got?

MasterCard charge,
two weeks ago--

700 bucks
to Intelli-Mate.

So most of your
customers are women?

90 percent.

In today's world,
a woman's got to be nuts

to date someone without
running a check.

Here we are--

Gail Churchill
gave me a name

and Social Security
number

said she wanted us
to run a check

on Richard Morriston.

We found three arrests,
four known aliases

suspected in the unsolved
disappearance of a girl in Utah.

Did Miss Churchill say

how she came by
the Social Security card?

She was dating a guy
named Landry.

Found Morriston's card

in his wallet.

I guess it set off
a red flag.

And you mailed this information to her
apartment?

We don't do that,
for security reasons.

I called her when it was ready,
she picked it up.

Day before the murders.

We don't want to hold out any
false hopes, Mrs. Fazekas.

Don't apologize,
detective.

I know you're not working
on my daughter's case.

I just want to help.

This is Detective Green.

Hello.

Can you help us with this?

That's him.

My God.

You recognize
Miss Churchill?

No, it's the necklace
she's wearing.

It was my daughter's.

So this is it.

I've always known
Beth was dead

but seeing
this necklace...

Are you sure
it's the same?

My husband and I
gave it to her.

A heart-shaped diamond
surrounded by rubies.

We had it made for
her 18th birthday.

Did you find it?

No, no, ma'am.

Do you have any receipts
or anything

authenticating the necklace?

My husband registered it
with Gemprint.

It's a private appraisal
and registration service.

We use a laser-based scanner
that interfaces with a PC.

Fazekas, Carl...
here's your stone.

Originally registered
in Salt Lake City.

Originally?

Apparently it got sold
somewhere along the line

because we reregistered
it a few weeks ago.

We're talking about
a necklace, right?

A heart-shaped diamond
with rubies?

Right here.

Who registered it
the second time?

Churchill, Gail.

Did you tell her
she wasn't the first?

She seemed puzzled,
didn't say why.

So Landry/Morriston
gives Gail Churchill

the necklace and a story
to go along with it.

Probably that he had it
made especially for her.

She's a jeweler.

She knows it's valuable, and she knows
about Gemprint

so she takes it there
to get it registered.

Yeah, surprise, surprise.

Now she's suspicious, so she goes through
his wallet

and she finds "Morriston's"
Social Security card.

And Intelli-Mate puts it
together for her.

Morriston know
he's a suspect?

Not from us.

So far he's just been
a friendly witness.

All right, let's find him,
keep him occupied

until we get
a search warrant.

Isn't it awful?
That poor little girl.

Mark has been so upset.

Could you tell him
we're here?

He called in from
the field

after you called and he said he
really wants to talk with you.

He's not here.

No, he's not here
at the moment.

He said
something came up

and he just has to swing by
his apartment

on the way in.

What time did you
speak with him?

About half
an hour ago.

Is something wrong?

Hey, look, man, that's what
you said five minutes ago.

We need that warrant now.

Thank you.

There's been
some kind of glitch.

They're trying
to track it down.

Hey, why don't you
guys wait outside

until you get
your warrant.

I guess we won't have to.

Too late.

Thanks.

You forget something,
Morriston?

I don't see a warrant.

It'll be here in a minute.

It is my understanding
that "in a minute"

and "right now" are
two entirely different things.

Excuse me.

Lennie.

You got some tweezers,
lover boy?

What we'd love to have
happen here, Morriston

just as a sideline

is you tell us where
Beth Fazekas ended up.

Her mother's
a nice lady--

maybe you'd like
to help her out?

I don't know
where Beth is.

How did I know you were
going to say that?

Lennie, look what I found

in the crawl space
above the closet.

Labels say
"Surefire Security."

You one of those psychos
who collects trophies?

The only deal on the table
is a plea of guilty

to the top count
of the indictment.

Your indignation
is based

on fuzzy tapes showing
a man who could be anybody.

Tapes that were recovered from
his apartment.

The video shows

Mr. Morriston leading
four people to their death.

And the police found
the Intelli-Mate report

in his desk
at his office.

A desk to which 40 people
have unfettered access?

I don't blame you.

I know how this looks

but I didn't kill those people.

It's going to take more than
a smarmy imitation of sincerity

to explain away
those tapes.

Coincidentally, motion
to suppress the tapes

and anything else
found in his apartment.

Your legal theory being?

Your detectives seized
Mr. Morriston's apartment

prior to the issuance

of a valid
search warrant.

A toothpick?

A toothpick?

What were they thinking?

Jack, what were they
supposed to do?

Let Morriston into his apartment, burn the
tapes

throw them out
the window?

In an hour they will
be thrown out

the window
by Judge Bradley.

It's only because of those tapes

that we know
what really happened.

Too bad the jury won't.

At least we have
the necklace

and we know he's lying
about his alibi.

Morriston claimed he was
showing an apartment

at Carrington House
when the murders took place.

But now we know
where he was.

The tapes put him
at the crime scene.

But if Jack's right

we're the only ones
who'll know.

If we can't prove where he was

we better prove
where he wasn't.

You go over
his alibi again.

Let's account for
every minute of his day.

I'll go wrangle
with Judge Bradley.

The insertion
of the toothpick

constituted an unlawful seizure
of my client's apartment.

Mr. Lyman's desperation
is showing, Your Honor

because that videotape
irrefutably shows

his client's guilt.

The detectives were merely
securing the premises

while awaiting
the warrant.

They had no right to secure the premises
prior to its arrival.

If they hadn't

his client would have
destroyed evidence.

Are you arguing there were

exigent circumstances,
counselor?

Certainly there was exigency.

The defendant has a history

of wriggling out
of damaging situations.

People v. Calder--
unless the police believed

there was an imminent risk of
bodily harm to another

they clearly
violated procedure.

Your Honor, the arrival
of Mr. Morriston

and the arrival of the warrant
were virtually simultaneous.

I understand
the People

have powerful evidence,
Mr. McCoy

but there's no way around
the Fourth Amendment here.

The tapes are out.

For God's sake, Judge,
did you watch them?

I did not.

I knew I had to exclude them.

I didn't want them
to taint my objectivity.

Landry, Morriston, whatever
the hell his name is

he certainly wasn't at Carrington House
when we were there.

And what time was that?

We got there
a little after 5:00.

Your appointment with
him was for 4:30?

We're busy people,
Ms. Carmichael.

I mean, he was
working for us.

He should've waited.

Okay, so you talked
to him later.

Yes, he said
he waited for 30 minutes

then went to do something else
and came back later.

Obviously, after we left.

When was that?

It was 5:20.

We waited for 15 minutes.

The doorman at
the Carrington House

said that Morriston showed up
one late afternoon in November

carrying a gym bag.

He can't pin down the date?

No, but he said it's the only time he's
ever seen

Morriston carrying anything but a
briefcase.

So Morriston made the
appointment for 4:30

thinking he'd have
an hour and a half

to kill those people,
grab some jewels

and still make
his appointment.

But Gail Churchill wasn't where she was
supposed to be.

He had to wait for her.

And then he put in an appearance at
Carrington House

just to cover himself.

If that was the day
he carried the gym bag.

Well, it had to be, Jack.

He had to have some
way of carrying

the gun and the jewels
out of the store.

Is the apartment Morriston was supposed to
show still empty?

The new owners are doing some remodeling
before they move in.

The workers start
on Thursday.

Make sure Briscoe and Green have warrant
in hand this time.

And no toothpicks.

My maintenance people
say Mr. Landry

was in this apartment
at least four times

between November 12
and the date he became...

uh, unavailable
for further visits.

Did Landry have access to
any other empty apartments?

This is the only one
he was showing at the time.

Power's switched off?

Uh, when the apartments
are vacant, yes.

What if a realtor wants to show
this place at night?

Where'd you find it?

They were hidden
in a locked electrical room.

The manger says
Morriston had a key.

Hey, guys.

How much law school
did Morriston have

before he dropped out?

Why?

I have both a statutory
and a Constitutional right

to represent myself, Judge.

I advise you against this course
of action, Mr. Morriston.

The standard is a knowing,
voluntary and intelligent

waiver of the
right to counsel.

I'm exercising it.

I don't want his conviction overturned

because of inadequate
representation.

The defendant is
within his rights, Mr. McCoy.

I request you appoint Mr. Lyman
as his legal advisor.

Mr. Morriston?

That's fine with me, Your Honor.

Then, if there's nothing else...

I'd like to
request bail.

Mr. Lyman should've made
application for bail

after the tapes were excluded,
based on changed circumstances.

The man is a vicious predator
and he's a flight risk.

Mr. Morriston
has lived in New York

for three years, he has close
ties with the community

and he has a job to go back to

after he
is acquitted.

Your Honor...

There is no basis

for denying bail.

Don't try to tell me
my job, Mr. Morriston.

You either, Mr. McCoy.

Bail for this defendant is set
in the amount of $1 million.

Your Honor,
one more thing.

I move to suppress
the necklace

and my prior
arrest record.

The necklace has no
bearing on this case.

That's absurd.

Gail Churchill's discovery

of the circumstances
of the necklace

provides the defendant
with motive.

I agree with the People
on the necklace.

It is inextricably linked

to this case

and as for
the fraud conviction

I'll let the conviction
come in, Mr. McCoy

but not
its underlying facts.

Your Honor...

That's enough,
Mr. Morriston.

You have a trial to prepare for.

This will be a difficult time
for all of you.

You'll be asked to examine

horrifying photographs
of a savage crime.

You'll be asked to confront
the fact that this well-dressed

soft-spoken defendant is capable
of terrible barbarity.

The State of New York

appreciates your putting
your own lives on hold

in order to seek justice

for the four victims
of Mr. Morriston's butchery.

I agree with Mr. McCoy.

These victims...

cry out for justice
and I'm grateful

that the State of New York
has the resources

to avenge these
terrible killings.

My girlfriend...

and her sweet little daughter

and Mr. and Mrs. Bennett

a lovely couple who
never harmed a soul

but justice demands
condemnation of the guilty

not the sacrifice
of the innocent

and I stand here before you

an innocent man.

I ask you, please

please, pay close attention
to Mr. McCoy's case

and decide whether you see

one shred of evidence
that proves my guilt.

The rest of my life

is in your hands.

Thank you.

The spatter patterns were clear.

Mr. Bennett was shot first,
Mrs. Bennett second

then Mrs. Churchill,
and finally, the little girl.

Could you describe
the child's wounds?

Objection, Your Honor.

This is clearly an...

Mr. Morriston,
it's customary to stand

when addressing
the court.

Yes, sir. I apologize.

I think Mr. McCoy is attempting
to prejudice the jury.

The jury can't render a
verdict

unless it's made aware
of the nature of the crime.

These are intelligent,
sensitive people.

You're forcing them to dwell
on the horror of this carnage.

Mr. Morriston,
please address

your remarks to the court

not to opposing counsel,
and keep your voice down.

I'm sorry, sir.
I didn't know.

Now you do.

The witness
may answer the question.

Ellie Churchill sustained

a single gunshot wound
to the back.

It perforated her heart.

Death was instantaneous.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Mr. Morriston?

Your Honor, there's no debate

that the victims
are horribly dead.

I'm not sure what to ask.

Mr. Lyman.

In your examination
of the bodies

did you find
any forensic evidence

that enabled you to determine
the identity of the killer?

I did not.

Thank you.

Mr. Morriston, do you have
any further questions?

No, I'm through,
Your Honor.

There is more flirting

going on in there than
at spring break on Padre Island.

That's how
Mr. Morriston's

gotten through life--
by turning on the charm.

Well, shouldn't
we notify Judge Bradley?

I need something
more tangible.

See if Lieutenant Van Buren
can spare the manpower

to keep tabs on him
when he's not in court.

Beth disappeared
on October 3, 1994.

She'd asked me
if she could use our house

outside Provo for a few days.

The police told us
she never made it there.

Did Beth say

she'd be going by herself?

Yes, she said

she wanted to be alone
to think some things through.

Did she say
what things?

She said she didn't want

to talk about it yet.

I got the impression

things weren't going
well with Richard.

Objection, speculative.

Sustained.

People's Four, Your Honor.

This is the photograph
of the defendant

with Gail Churchill.

Have you seen
this photograph before?

Yes.

The New York Police
showed it to me.

I told them this necklace
was my daughter's.

Do you know how it went
from your daughter's possession

to Ms. Churchill's?

Objection.

Calls for speculation.

Sustained.

I have nothing further.

Mary, you know me.

You know
how I felt about Beth.

You can't think

I'd have harmed her.

Does Mr. Morriston have
a question for this witness

he'd like to share
with the rest of us?

Mr. Morriston, speak so
the court can hear you.

When Beth disappeared,
what was my reaction?

You pretended to be frantic.

Your Honor.

Ms. Fazekas

your opinions and intuitions
can form no part

of these proceedings.

Please stick to the facts.

Mr. Morriston?

I can't do this.

Would you like Mr.
Lyman to take over?

No, sir. I'd rather not

put this lady through
any more of this.

No further questions.

Do you recognize
these items?

Yes, that's the
murder weapon

and that's the
merchandise

taken from Bennett Jewelry.

Where did you
recover them?

They were hidden in
an electrical room

on the tenth floor
of Carrington House.

The apartment
Mr. Morriston

was supposed to show that day--
what floor was it on?

Ten.

Thank you, Detective.

Nothing further.

Were my fingerprints on any
of these items that you found?

The evidence
indicated

the killer wore gloves.

I'm sorry, Detective.

I believe that that was
a yes or no question.

Yes or no, Detective.

No.

Did you try and link me
with the gun, yes or no?

Yes.

And were you successful,
yes or no?

No.

Thank you.

Detective Briscoe

when you and your partner talked
to me after the murders

did you ask me where I was on
the afternoon of the 12th?

Yes. You said

you were showing an apartment
at Carrington House.

Thank you.

That's all.

Nothing further.

Approach, Your Honor.

Mr. Morriston.

In my opinion, we have a serious
problem with Juror Number One.

Send the jury out.

I will see the rest of you
in my chambers in one hour.

Judge Bradley

he's flirting
with the jury foreperson

and she's flirting
with him.

Your Honor, I was simply
addressing the jury.

Is that wrong?

So what do you suggest,
Mr. McCoy?

I can't order the jury
to wear blindfolds.

The People request
you remove Juror Number One

and seat an alternate.

On what grounds?

Do you have any evidence
the defendant

is improperly influencing
members of this jury?

He's contacting them
outside of the court?

That he's offering them
inducements?

I believe there's
a considerable amount

of unspoken
communication going on

between
the two of them.

Mr. McCoy,
I'm afraid I'll need

a lot more than that
to remove a juror mid-trial.

People's request denied.

Mr. Morriston

this court is not a singles bar.

You will conduct yourself
with the proper decorum.

There is no margin of error
in the process, Mr. McCoy.

The Gemprint system
is as accurate as DNA.

So your testimony is that
the necklace registered

by Mr. Fazekas in Utah
is the same necklace

Gail Churchill registered
in New York?

Yes, sir.

Thank you. Nothing further.

Is it your
understanding that DNA

is an infallible
identification technique?

Pretty close.

So... when you compare
your technique to DNA

you're saying that Gemprint

comes "pretty close"
to being accurate?

That's not what I said.

That's what some of us heard.

Um...

No more questions. Thank you.

Mr. McCoy?

The People rest, Your Honor.

Is the defense ready
to proceed

with its case?

Uh... Yes, sir.

Uh, we call Annette Perry.

Your Honor, there's no
such name on the witness list.

Mr. Lyman?

Mr. Morriston informed me
only today, Your Honor.

Ms. Perry is an
alibi witness.

If the defendant
has an alibi witness

the People have a right
to statutory notice.

You have 48 hours
to check out the witness.

Annette Perry
is the receptionist

at the realty company
where Morriston works.

According to several
of her co-workers

she's had the hots
for Morriston

who, up till now, has shown zero interest
in her.

What kind of interest
is he showing now?

Well, according
to the cops

he's had dinner at her apartment

twice in the past
couple of days.

Each time he stayed
several hours.

Track down Judge Bradley

and have the cops
find out

where Ms. Perry
really was that afternoon.

They're already on it.

Putting this woman on the stand

amounts to suborning perjury.

Judge, there's nothing to say
the witness is lying.

The tapes say it.

The tapes aren't part
of the evidence.

Mr. Morriston
is with Ms. Perry

every night of the week,
Your Honor.

How do you
know that?

I instructed the police
to keep tabs on him.

We think
he's a flight risk.

And his inappropriate behavior
towards the jury

may extend
beyond the courtroom.

Because Mr. Morriston
is acting pro se

having him followed
is tantamount

to intimidating
counsel, Mr. McCoy.

Call off the dogs.

Mr. Morriston,
you do understand

what suborning
perjury means?

Ms. Perry can prove

that I did not commit the crime,
Your Honor.

You can't refuse
to let her testify.

She's on the stand, Mr. Morriston

feeding her leading questions.

You think I'm some kind
of Svengali?

Fine;
let Mr. Lyman question her.

I'll sit in my seat
and not say a word.

Mr. McCoy?

Still clearly perjury,
Your Honor.

He has a right
to an alibi witness, Mr. McCoy.

Send in the jury.

Do you remember where you were

the afternoon of November 12th of last
year?

I was with him.

He was showing me around
Carrington House.

I told him how much
I would love to see inside

a famous building like that

and he was nice enough
to show it to me.

What time did
you and he

arrive at the Carrington House?

We got there
a little after 3:00

and left around 5:30.

Did the defendant
ask you

to come here and
lie for him?

He wouldn't do that.

Thank you, Ms. Perry,
that'll be all.

Are you in love
with the defendant, Ms. Perry?

Objection, relevance.

It's obvious, Your Honor.

Overruled.

Go ahead,
Mr. McCoy.

Ms. Perry?

We have a strictly
professional relationship.

Have you had dinner

with Mr. Morriston
recently?

Just the two of you?

Yes, several times.

Where?

In my apartment.

And these meetings
were strictly professional?

Yes, sir,
they were.

What was the business

you and Mr. Morriston had with
each other on these occasions?

He was helping me study
for my real estate exam.

And he was
doing this

out of the goodness
of his heart?

Yes...

he's a very generous,
thoughtful person.

I told him it
could wait

until after the trial, but he insisted.

Where were you on November the
12th, Ms. Perry?

Objection; asked and answered,
Your Honor.

Sustained.

Are you aware of the penalty
for perjury?

Objection.

Mr. McCoy.

Nothing further.

Richard... I would like

to take you through
Mr. McCoy's case

and I would like you

to address
the jury directly.

If you were already
at Carrington House

why didn't you keep
your 4:30 appointment?

Annette was having
such a good time

I hated to cut it short
and disappoint her.

I can reschedule

an appointment
at any time.

Did you ask Annette Perry to lie
for you?

No, I did not.

Now, about the gun

and the jewels...

do you have any explanation

as to why they were found
at Carrington House?

Well, I don't know
that they were, Mr. Lyman.

I only know that the police
say that they were.

Richard...

did you kill any
of these people?

Adam and Corrine
Bennett?

No, I did not.

Gail Churchill?

God, no.

Ellie Churchill?

No.

Thank you,
Richard.

I noticed Mr. Lyman

didn't ask you
about the report

from Intelli-Mate
that was found in your office.

Is that because you're having
trouble coming up with a lie

that covers
that circumstance?

Objection.

Sustained.

Watch your step, Mr. McCoy.

How did that report
come into your possession?

I don't know, Mr. McCoy.

Perhaps the police

planted that, too?

That would explain it.

Did the Denver police plant the
evidence

that led to your
fraud conviction there?

Objection.

Overruled.
The witness will answer.

I don't think
they framed me.

I think they just
made a mistake.

You're asking this jury to believe

that the
New York Police

framed you

the Denver police
are incompetent

and that Beth Fazekas's necklace

wound up in your possession
by coincidence?

I don't have any other
explanations, Mr. McCoy.

24 hours after
Gail Churchill

found out whose necklace
you gave her, she was dead!

Are you asking this
jury to believe

that those two events
are unrelated?

You can pile up
the coincidences, Mr. McCoy.

You can slather
on the sarcasm.

But you will not
get me to say

that I killed anybody,
because I did not.

Don't you think

your lies
amount to a confession?

Objection.

Sustained.

Rephrase, Mr. McCoy.

Withdrawn.

Based on your note, Madame
Foreperson

I see you are still unable
to reach a verdict.

Is that correct?

Yes, Your Honor.

I also understand

that further deliberation
would be pointless.

Is that correct?

Yes, Your Honor.

Thank you.

Thank you for seeing through
the lies...

Quiet, Mr. Morriston!

Counselors, based
on that record

I have no choice

but to declare
a mistrial.

Ladies and gentlemen,
you're excused.

How far are we
from going to trial

on the serial rapist?

The defense just asked for
their third continuance

and Lewin wants me
to give it to them.

Well, we're about to get buried
on our carjacking friend.

What can I do?

Can I talk to you?

Come in.

I think I made
a terrible mistake.

He did it, didn't he?

Yeah... he did it.

Why exactly are you here,
Ms. Gibbons?

I'm afraid I may have used undue
influence as the foreperson.

How?

I used my position

to keep pushing for
a "not guilty" verdict.

Why did you do that?

I thought he was innocent.

I thought we had
this magical connection.

That he was this
once-in-a-lifetime soul mate.

You thought all that

without ever actually
speaking to him?

Unless you did.

We went out to dinner.

When?

During the trial.

After the police
stopped following him.

We didn't talk
about the case at all.

We talked
about ourselves.

He listened to me.

He was interested
in whatever I had to say.

How long after the trial
did he dump you?

Two days.

Are you willing to say this
under oath?

He killed a child.

I'll do anything
you want me to do.

So we retry him
for homicide

and add jury
tampering.

An "A" Misdemeanor.

Which his lawyer will maintain

is just the revenge
of a woman scorned.

We're not going to
convict this guy

of anything, are we?

I don't think so.

I think this one walks.

We'll be right there.

Not this time.

She's washing the dishes

she's got the water running

he comes up behind her,
wraps this around her neck...

...she stabs him.

So is that what happened,
Carol?

Yes.

So he snuck
up behind you?

Is that when you reached
for the shears?

Yes.

Okay.

Marks on her neck
consistent with that?

Looks like it.

Is she a collar?

Wrap it up.
