00:00:01,552 --> 00:00:03,369

In the criminal justice system,

2
00:00:03,369 --> 00:00:07,130

sexually-based offenses
are considered especially heinous

3
00:00:07,130 --> 00:00:08,360

In New York City,

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,924

the dedicated detectives who investigate
these vicious felonies are members

5
00:00:11,924 --> 00:00:14,979

of an elite squad known
as The Special Victims Unit.

6
00:00:14,979 --> 00:00:16,958

These are their stories.

7
00:00:25,427 --> 00:00:27,575
Dammit, where are you?

8
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:36,918
There you are.

9
00:00:36,918 --> 00:00:38,566
Idiot.

10
00:00:42,993 --> 00:00:44,616
Hey, Cheryl, it's me.

11
00:00:44,616 --> 00:00:47,198
Yeah, I left my phone
at the salvage site this afternoon.

12
00:00:47,198 --> 00:00:48,795
I just found it.

13
00:00:48,989 --> 00:00:50,988
I'm not lying, Cheryl.

14
00:00:50,988 --> 00:00:53,301
I was at O'Malley's
watching the game.

15
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:58,915
I did not have my phone. How could
I have been avoiding your calls?

16
00:00:59,342 --> 00:01:01,115
That's weird.

17
00:01:01,550 --> 00:01:02,919
There's a light on in the basement.

18
00:01:02,919 --> 00:01:05,955
I thought I tore out
all the light fixtures today.

19
00:01:06,897 --> 00:01:09,060
I'll call you back.

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,152
What?

21
00:01:31,077 --> 00:01:32,609
Elizabeth, it's okay.
It's just a game.

22
00:01:32,609 --> 00:01:34,069
Dad. I had the best hand.

23
00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:35,683
Flush beats a straight, dummy.

24
00:01:35,683 --> 00:01:37,532
You sucked out on the river.
She flopped it.

25
00:01:37,532 --> 00:01:38,745
I knew the heart was coming.

26
00:01:38,745 --> 00:01:40,270
When did you guys
become card sharks?

27
00:01:40,270 --> 00:01:42,195
You had a three-four, you nerd.

28
00:01:42,195 --> 00:01:44,398
You should have been out
pre-flop when I raised.

29
00:01:44,398 --> 00:01:46,993
- Dad, it's your shuffle.
- No, sorry.

30
00:01:47,431 --> 00:01:48,943
Stabler.

31
00:01:49,259 --> 00:01:51,068
I'm just losing my shirt, why?

32
00:01:51,068 --> 00:01:52,633
Keep playing those rags, Richard.

33
00:01:52,633 --> 00:01:55,183
I will as long as you keep calling
when I check-raise.

34
00:01:55,183 --> 00:01:58,176
Okay, I'll be there as soon as I can.

35
00:01:59,107 --> 00:02:00,465
Uh, guys...

36
00:02:00,465 --> 00:02:01,394
Go.

37
00:02:01,394 --> 00:02:05,387
Dad, you're gonna miss the greatest
comeback in the history of poker.

38
00:02:05,387 --> 00:02:07,182
I already know how it's gonna end.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 2007/05/15

55
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:12,599
Watch out for the thumbtacks.

56
00:03:12,877 --> 00:03:14,173
Are those part of the crime scene?

57
00:03:14,173 --> 00:03:16,312
Or did somebody drop them
when they saw the victim?

58
00:03:16,312 --> 00:03:19,546
I found a few embedded in his back.
One of his tamer torture devices.

59
00:03:19,546 --> 00:03:22,031
Really?
This doesn't look so tame.

60
00:03:22,031 --> 00:03:24,816
- Is that a Wiffle bat?
- Yeah.

61
00:03:24,816 --> 00:03:26,719
But the barbed wire's real.

62
00:03:26,719 --> 00:03:29,970
SandM mask, cuts all over his body...

63
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:31,227
Genital mutilation.

64
00:03:31,227 --> 00:03:33,219
Maybe what the perp was aiming for,
but he missed.

65
00:03:33,219 --> 00:03:35,470
His right femoral artery was severed.

66
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:37,632
That'll give you about five minutes
before you bleed out.

67
00:03:37,632 --> 00:03:40,848
This much blood, cause of death
is going to be hemorrhagic shock.

68
00:03:40,848 --> 00:03:43,780
Hopefully, some of this blood
is our killer's.

69
00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:48,089
Cutting fetish?

70
00:03:48,089 --> 00:03:50,592
Looks like he was hit
with several light tubes.

71
00:03:50,592 --> 00:03:53,893
Glass is so thin, it pretty much
pulverizes when it's smashed.

72
00:03:53,893 --> 00:03:56,652
He's got crystallized fragments
all over his body.

73
00:03:56,652 --> 00:03:59,334
This mask makes it look like he was
supposed to be the executioner.

74
00:03:59,334 --> 00:04:02,405
Maybe it was consensual
SandM gone bad.

75
00:04:02,779 --> 00:04:05,606
Hands aren't bound.
No ID, huh?

76
00:04:05,606 --> 00:04:06,765
No.

77
00:04:06,765 --> 00:04:09,538
I haven't even seen his face yet.

78
00:04:16,669 --> 00:04:18,575
Can't be more than 15 or 16.

79
00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:20,155
Empty house.

80
00:04:20,155 --> 00:04:22,390
Who brought him here to torture him?

81
00:04:22,807 --> 00:04:25,453
The guy that ran past me
had on a black leather mask

82
00:04:25,453 --> 00:04:26,877
just like the dead kid's.

83
00:04:26,877 --> 00:04:29,449
So what were you doing here
the same night as a murder, Tim?

84
00:04:29,449 --> 00:04:31,854
I left my cell phone here
this afternoon.

85
00:04:31,854 --> 00:04:34,109
- Who else was here then?
- No one. I was alone.

86
00:04:34,109 --> 00:04:35,482
Doing what?

87
00:04:35,482 --> 00:04:38,002
Architectural salvage.

88
00:04:38,002 --> 00:04:40,270
That a fancy name for looting?

89
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:43,105
I have a contract with the city.

90
00:04:43,105 --> 00:04:45,593
Place is scheduled for demolition.

91
00:04:46,285 --> 00:04:50,418
The seonces I pulled out of here
are Deco art glass.

92
00:04:50,418 --> 00:04:54,206
Wrought iron grates in the window outside
are beyond ornate.

93
00:04:54,206 --> 00:04:58,319
You removed the security bars.
That's how they got in.

94
00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,312
Might as well have put up
an "Open House" sign.

95
00:05:01,312 --> 00:05:04,067
What's wrong with you?
Let me through.

96
00:05:04,067 --> 00:05:05,505
I got it, Charlie.

97
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:06,513
What's the problem?

98
00:05:06,513 --> 00:05:09,702
They say a young boy was raped
and mutilated in there.

99
00:05:09,702 --> 00:05:11,700
Some kinda satanic ritual?

100
00:05:11,700 --> 00:05:12,954
Don't believe everything you hear.

101
00:05:12,954 --> 00:05:16,281
People get bored, start making up
all kind of crazy nonsense.

102
00:05:16,281 --> 00:05:18,426
- I know who did it.
- Who?

103
00:05:18,426 --> 00:05:19,995
Darren Tolson.

104
00:05:19,995 --> 00:05:22,179
He lives in that building
at the end of the block.

105
00:05:22,179 --> 00:05:23,506
You see him around here tonight?

106
00:05:23,506 --> 00:05:25,414
I saw it on the fliers.

107
00:05:25,414 --> 00:05:29,324
Plastered to his building every morning
and then torn down by noon.

108
00:05:29,324 --> 00:05:33,482
They say Darren Tolson
is a convicted sex offender.

109
00:05:33,482 --> 00:05:36,567
Says he targets young boys.

110
00:05:38,145 --> 00:05:40,064

Residence of Darren Tolson
338 East 4th Street
Wednesday, March 28

111
00:05:40,064 --> 00:05:42,361
Mr. Tolson's a model tenant.

112
00:05:42,361 --> 00:05:44,174
I knew, he modeled for a mug shot.

113
00:05:44,174 --> 00:05:46,619
You should see his layout
in the sex offender registry.

114
00:05:46,619 --> 00:05:49,507
He fully disclosed that
on his rental application.

115
00:05:49,507 --> 00:05:50,789
And you rented to him, anyway.

116
00:05:50,789 --> 00:05:53,062
Who'd you beat out for the apartment?
Jeffrey Dahmer?

117
00:05:53,062 --> 00:05:55,991
Mr. Tolson paid his debt to society.
And he pays his rent on time.

118
00:05:55,991 --> 00:05:58,453
Where do you propose ex-felons live?
On the street?

119
00:05:58,453 --> 00:06:01,678
Yeah, I'd take an island 1000 miles away
from the nearest kid.

120
00:06:01,678 --> 00:06:03,969
Then consider this an oasis.

121
00:06:03,969 --> 00:06:06,025
I don't rent to couples with children.

122
00:06:06,025 --> 00:06:07,982
How discriminating of you.

123
00:06:08,929 --> 00:06:12,849
Well, it looks like somebody isn't
as tolerant of Darren Tolson as you are.

124
00:06:12,849 --> 00:06:14,742
It's from that woman
who puts up the fliers.

125
00:06:14,742 --> 00:06:16,255
He's got a restraining order against her.

126
00:06:16,255 --> 00:06:18,126
Why don't you go arrest her
for vandalism?

127
00:06:18,126 --> 00:06:19,877
We'll get right on it.

128
00:06:22,878 --> 00:06:26,387
Mr. Tolson?
It's the landlord.

129
00:06:27,404 --> 00:06:28,931
Doesn't appear to be in.

130
00:06:28,931 --> 00:06:30,307
Open it up.

131
00:06:30,307 --> 00:06:31,770
Not without a warrant.

132
00:06:31,770 --> 00:06:33,735
Okay, we'll get one and come
back around 4:00 am.

133
00:06:33,735 --> 00:06:35,298
We hope we don't wake you up.

134
00:06:35,298 --> 00:06:38,995
He works the night shift
at the Quality Bakery on Mott.

135
00:06:38,995 --> 00:06:41,227
Go talk to him there.

136
00:06:41,227 --> 00:06:43,257
My, what strong hands you have.

137
00:06:43,257 --> 00:06:45,101
Looks like you're digging
into flesh there.

138
00:06:45,101 --> 00:06:48,495
- Just doing my job.
- All alone, I see.

139
00:06:49,109 --> 00:06:51,483
Who would know if you were able
to slop away for a bit?

140
00:06:51,483 --> 00:06:53,133
I started work at 7:00.

141
00:06:53,133 --> 00:06:54,631
Look like I been slacking off?

142
00:06:54,631 --> 00:06:57,477
No, it looks like you're trying
real hard to act unconcern.

143
00:06:57,477 --> 00:07:00,591
When cops show up to question
innocent guys, they, uh...

144
00:07:00,591 --> 00:07:02,655
They usually stop
what they're doing.

145
00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:05,789
Can't stop until the timer goes off.

146
00:07:05,789 --> 00:07:07,828
You have to knead the dough
for at least eight minutes

147
00:07:07,828 --> 00:07:10,751
or the bread don't rise properly.
It'll be dense.

148
00:07:10,751 --> 00:07:14,234
Dense would be you thinking
that you could get away with this.

149
00:07:14,234 --> 00:07:16,940
Who is he, Mr. Tolson?

150
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:18,443
I've never seen him before.

151
00:07:18,443 --> 00:07:20,446
So talk to us about Michael Ozello.

152
00:07:20,446 --> 00:07:23,820
You confessed in court.
It's a matter of public record.

153
00:07:25,013 --> 00:07:28,542
I served five years.
I haven't hurt anyone since.

154
00:07:28,542 --> 00:07:31,927
And yet, another neighbor
boy of yours is dead.

155
00:07:34,655 --> 00:07:36,368
She sent you, right?

156
00:07:36,731 --> 00:07:38,247
Who's "she?"

157
00:07:38,247 --> 00:07:40,376
Sonia Briglund.

158
00:07:40,578 --> 00:07:43,465
I get out of prison ten years ago.

159
00:07:43,465 --> 00:07:46,234
Her son disappears the next day.

160
00:07:46,234 --> 00:07:48,686
She hasn't stopped
trying to pin it on me.

161
00:07:48,686 --> 00:07:51,702
She the one putting fliers up
in your building?

162
00:07:51,702 --> 00:07:54,625
No matter where I go
she's made my life hell.

163
00:07:54,625 --> 00:07:58,147
And I never did anything to her kid.

164
00:08:00,485 --> 00:08:02,741

Residence of Sonia Briglund
147 Stanton Street
Thursday, March 29

165
00:08:02,741 --> 00:08:04,598
Darren Tolson took my son.

166
00:08:04,598 --> 00:08:07,223
He was never charged.
How can you be positive it was him?

167
00:08:07,223 --> 00:08:09,065
He'd just gotten out of prison
for raping a boy

168
00:08:09,065 --> 00:08:11,143
a little bit older than my Joey.

169
00:08:11,143 --> 00:08:12,333
The day before.

170
00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:14,964
Did he have any contact
with Joey before he disappeared?

171
00:08:14,964 --> 00:08:17,765
No. He snatched him
the first time he saw him.

172
00:08:17,765 --> 00:08:19,445
From where?

173
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,015
I let Joey go ride his bike.

174
00:08:23,015 --> 00:08:24,897
This was a nice bedroom
community back then.

175
00:08:24,897 --> 00:08:27,962
No one told me a pedophile
had moved in.

176
00:08:28,386 --> 00:08:30,434
Tolson said that...

177
00:08:30,434 --> 00:08:33,261
that you've been stalking him ever since.

178
00:08:33,962 --> 00:08:36,597
He killed me when he took Joey.

179
00:08:37,031 --> 00:08:40,184
He should be in jail,
but he's not.

180
00:08:40,184 --> 00:08:42,959
So yeah, I keep an eye on him.

181
00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:44,828
Were you watching him last night?

182
00:08:44,828 --> 00:08:46,439
Why, did he do something?

183
00:08:46,439 --> 00:08:48,738
Well, there's no evidence
that indicates it was him.

184
00:08:48,738 --> 00:08:51,742
But a boy was attacked.

185
00:08:51,742 --> 00:08:53,891
He was killed.

186
00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:55,599
How old was he?

187
00:08:55,599 --> 00:08:57,567
Mid-teens.

188
00:08:59,288 --> 00:09:02,281
Joey would have been 16 this year.

189
00:09:15,637 --> 00:09:17,978
That's him.

190
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:21,611
That's Joey.

191
00:09:22,890 --> 00:09:25,989
He was alive all this time.

192
00:09:26,397 --> 00:09:29,394
That bastard had him.

193
00:09:38,813 --> 00:09:41,704
Our victim just got a name.
Joey Briglund.

194
00:09:41,704 --> 00:09:43,687
Live and Elliot went to pick up Tolson.

195
00:09:43,687 --> 00:09:45,467
Where was he keeping him all this time?

196
00:09:45,467 --> 00:09:48,138
I don't know, but it'd be swell
if you could figure it out.

197
00:09:48,138 --> 00:09:51,270
We still have no evidence Tolson
abducted or killed Joey.

198
00:09:51,270 --> 00:09:53,888
Go see Novak about getting
a search warrant.

199
00:09:53,888 --> 00:09:55,274
Building where he was found?

200
00:09:55,274 --> 00:09:57,377
I didn't get a vibe anybody'd
been living there a day,

201
00:09:57,377 --> 00:09:59,762
- let alone eight years.
- Uh-huh.

202
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:01,060
Excuse me?

203
00:10:01,060 --> 00:10:04,330
Hi, I need to talk to someone
about the Riley Cuskey murder.

204
00:10:04,624 --> 00:10:06,452
Who's Riley Cuskey?

205
00:10:06,452 --> 00:10:10,214
The boy you found last night
at that old, uh, brownstone on Avenue A.

206
00:10:10,214 --> 00:10:12,883
He's just been ID'd
as Joey Briglund.

207
00:10:12,883 --> 00:10:15,524
Well, he's not.
He's... he's Riley Cuskey.

208
00:10:15,524 --> 00:10:17,962
What makes you think that?

209
00:10:19,978 --> 00:10:22,093
I filmed him getting killed.

210
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:29,018
Hey, Captain.

211
00:10:29,018 --> 00:10:32,064
We got the abort call
on Darren Tolson. What's up?

212
00:10:32,291 --> 00:10:34,766
- New development caught on video.

- Listen up, dogs,

213
00:10:34,766 --> 00:10:36,592

we have a show for you.

214
00:10:36,592 --> 00:10:38,820

This is Riley Cuskey.

215
00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:42,242

And what you're about to see
is for insane audiences only.

216
00:10:42,242 --> 00:10:44,259
Tolson filmed Joey
before he killed him?

217
00:10:44,259 --> 00:10:47,530
Tolson wasn't there,
and neither was Joey.

218
00:10:47,530 --> 00:10:48,921

Enjoy.

219
00:10:49,961 --> 00:10:52,456
- What is this?
- It's the video of his death.

220
00:10:52,456 --> 00:10:54,085
His friend, Scott Heston,

221
00:10:54,085 --> 00:10:57,139
is explaining to Munch and Fin
why he shot it.

222
00:10:58,842 --> 00:11:00,867
You gotta be kidding me.

223
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,340
- They're wrestling.
- Extreme wrestling.

224
00:11:04,340 --> 00:11:07,944
Wrestling is supposed to be fake.
What were they thinking?

225
00:11:15,651 --> 00:11:17,947

Dude, hold on.
you got me in the leg.

226
00:11:17,947 --> 00:11:21,782

Uh, it's bleeding like a mother.
How cool is that?

227
00:11:23,978 --> 00:11:26,313

Hold on, I've gotta lie down.

228
00:11:31,134 --> 00:11:33,409

Turn the camera off.

229
00:11:35,148 --> 00:11:36,627
It was a staged fight.

230
00:11:36,627 --> 00:11:38,347
With real weapons.

231
00:11:38,347 --> 00:11:40,911
Let's see what else he's got to say.

232
00:11:40,911 --> 00:11:43,495

So how'd you end up down
in that basement, Scott?

233
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:45,029

Everyone called it the Haunted House.

234
00:11:45,029 --> 00:11:47,240

We tried to sneak in,
but it was a fortress.

235
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,482
Until yesterday.

236
00:11:48,482 --> 00:11:50,947
Yeah, we saw a guy hauling stuff out.
Security bars were gone.

237
00:11:50,947 --> 00:11:52,114
Who's "we?"

238
00:11:52,114 --> 00:11:53,585
Me, Riley, and Jake.

239
00:11:53,585 --> 00:11:54,975
And what's Jake's full name?

240
00:11:54,975 --> 00:11:55,846
I... I don't know.

241
00:11:55,846 --> 00:11:58,464
He didn't go to our school.
He was a friend of Riley's from camp.

242
00:11:58,464 --> 00:12:00,025
Some friend.

243
00:12:00,025 --> 00:12:03,014

He didn't mean to kill him.
It was an accident.

244
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:04,679

No one ever gets seriously hurt.

245
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,561

Guys all over the country do it for fun,
and post their videos online.

246
00:12:07,561 --> 00:12:10,240
Scott says he was
the one filming this.

247
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,234

One minute he was laughing,
the next he was dead, okay?

248
00:12:12,234 --> 00:12:13,516

I wanted to call the cops.

249
00:12:13,516 --> 00:12:14,358
You're a day late.

250
00:12:14,358 --> 00:12:16,329
He said we had to get out of there.
I told him it was an accident, you know?

251
00:12:16,329 --> 00:12:17,526
It wasn't his fault.

252
00:12:17,526 --> 00:12:19,243
He said he would kill me if I told.

253
00:12:19,243 --> 00:12:20,725
So where can we find this Jake?

254
00:12:20,725 --> 00:12:23,084
I don't know.
He was a friend of Riley's, not mine.

255
00:12:23,084 --> 00:12:24,536
I just met him yesterday.

256
00:12:24,536 --> 00:12:27,005
Got an awful lot of cuts
on your hands.

257
00:12:28,199 --> 00:12:31,243
Yeah, I... I do the extreme fights too.

258
00:12:31,967 --> 00:12:34,034
With Riley.

259
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:38,103
We were putting together
a video of highlights to sell online.

260
00:12:38,103 --> 00:12:39,151
Did you fight yesterday?

261
00:12:39,151 --> 00:12:41,357
No, no, I was just filming them.

262
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:44,626
Well, the thing about that
is the camera never moved.

263
00:12:44,626 --> 00:12:46,087
It was stationary the whole fight.

264
00:12:46,087 --> 00:12:47,255
Wait... no. No, no, no.

265
00:12:47,255 --> 00:12:49,690
I... no, I went up for a close-up
when he got the really bad cut.

266
00:12:49,690 --> 00:12:55,333
No, no, that only happened after
the masked opponent walked off camera.

267
00:12:56,196 --> 00:12:57,298
No, no.

268
00:12:57,298 --> 00:12:59,486
Now, both fighters were bleeding.

269
00:12:59,486 --> 00:13:03,237
So DNA will tell us
who the other guys was.

270
00:13:08,843 --> 00:13:10,826
Look.

271
00:13:11,371 --> 00:13:14,159
Riley was my best friend.

272
00:13:14,373 --> 00:13:16,184
Elliot.

273
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:20,381
He's only 16.

274
00:13:20,381 --> 00:13:22,602
We were just taking
his eyewitness testimony.

275
00:13:22,602 --> 00:13:26,404
No parental presence required.

276
00:13:29,219 --> 00:13:32,465
Okay, Scott, you're gonna
call your parents.

277
00:13:32,797 --> 00:13:34,548
You're gonna have them
come on down here

278
00:13:34,548 --> 00:13:38,462
and then we're gonna talk about
what really happened to your friend Riley.

279
00:13:45,523 --> 00:13:47,366

Trial Part 17
Tuesday, April 24

280
00:13:47,366 --> 00:13:49,475
Scott Heston cleans up nicely.

281
00:13:49,475 --> 00:13:51,552
He looks like a choir boy today.

282
00:13:51,552 --> 00:13:54,639
You should have seen him
on the night of March 28,

283
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:58,625
when he was pummeling Riley Cuskey
with fluorescent light tubes

284
00:13:58,625 --> 00:14:03,426
thumbtacks, chairs,
and a bat wrapped in barbed wire.

285
00:14:04,132 --> 00:14:06,285
It's hard to imaging, isn't it?

286
00:14:06,285 --> 00:14:08,061
Luckily, you don't have to.

287
00:14:08,061 --> 00:14:10,314
Because he videotaped it.

288
00:14:10,314 --> 00:14:14,160
You get to watch him actually
wielding those deadly weapons.

289
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,228
And you'll see him acting with reckless
disregard for human life.

290
00:14:17,228 --> 00:14:21,032
Engaging in acts that brought
about the death of Riley Cuskey.

291
00:14:21,032 --> 00:14:23,496
Now in the video,
Scott wears a mask,

292
00:14:23,496 --> 00:14:25,697
but you'll hear the confession
he gave to detectives,

293
00:14:25,697 --> 00:14:27,596
admitting it was him,

294
00:14:27,596 --> 00:14:31,762
after he initially lied
and claimed it was someone else.

295
00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:35,880
Frankie Campbell.
You may not recognize the name.

296
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,819
He was a boxer who died
after receiving a knock-out blow

297
00:14:38,819 --> 00:14:42,886
from Max Baer, Sr. in 1930.

298
00:14:42,886 --> 00:14:47,062
Now, Baer never received
any jail time

299
00:14:47,062 --> 00:14:50,498
because the fatal blow was delivered
during a sporting event.

300
00:14:50,498 --> 00:14:51,890
A consensual activity.

301
00:14:51,890 --> 00:14:56,084
Just like what my client
was engaged in.

302
00:14:56,084 --> 00:15:02,370
Now, the prosecution is going to try
to paint Scott Heston as a homicidal killer.

303
00:15:03,165 --> 00:15:07,747
And there are places in the tape
where he looks like one.

304
00:15:08,048 --> 00:15:10,251
But so does Riley Cuskey.

305
00:15:10,251 --> 00:15:13,517
Why, you're gonna see
Riley beating my client

306
00:15:13,517 --> 00:15:16,572
with that barbed wire bat,
with these light bulbs and chairs.

307
00:15:16,572 --> 00:15:20,576
You're gonna see him looking
like he wants to kill my client.

308
00:15:20,957 --> 00:15:24,261
Now, I'm not speaking ill of a dead boy.

309
00:15:24,261 --> 00:15:27,370
They both appeared crazed

310
00:15:27,370 --> 00:15:30,365
because that was part of the game.

311
00:15:30,773 --> 00:15:35,406
Riley Cuskey and Scott Heston
were best friends.

312
00:15:35,406 --> 00:15:38,313
And they staged these
fights all the time.

313
00:15:38,313 --> 00:15:41,696
And what happened was tragic,
but it was an accident.

314
00:15:41,696 --> 00:15:42,886
There was no intent.

315
00:15:42,886 --> 00:15:47,882
What there was were mitigating
circumstances.

316
00:15:53,727 --> 00:15:55,750
Scott is clinically depressed.

317
00:15:55,750 --> 00:15:58,425
How long have you been
his psychiatrist, Dr. Cohen?

318
00:15:58,425 --> 00:16:00,798
His parents first brought him
to see me last fall.

319
00:16:00,798 --> 00:16:03,570
Does Scott participate
in these extreme fighting events

320
00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:06,620
because he, well,
he wants to hurt someone else?

321
00:16:06,620 --> 00:16:10,700
No, for Scott, the coping device isn't
inflicting pain in others.

322
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:12,601
It's receiving pain himself.

323
00:16:12,601 --> 00:16:15,754
So what you're saying is,
Scott's not a sadist, he's a masochist.

324
00:16:15,754 --> 00:16:19,537
Some people become so depressed,
they cease to feel anything.

325
00:16:19,537 --> 00:16:22,848
In extreme cases, they'll purposely
inflict pain on themselves

326
00:16:22,848 --> 00:16:25,278
just to feel anything at all.

327
00:16:25,278 --> 00:16:27,344
Dr. Cohen, with all due respect,

328
00:16:27,344 --> 00:16:29,630
isn't the symptom you're
describing more aptly applied

329
00:16:29,630 --> 00:16:31,999
to teenage girls who cut themselves?

330
00:16:31,999 --> 00:16:33,384
That's exactly what it's like.

331
00:16:33,384 --> 00:16:35,812
Isn't the point of cutting
that they're hurting themselves,

332
00:16:35,812 --> 00:16:37,550
that they're in control of the pain?

333
00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:38,354
Yes.

334
00:16:38,354 --> 00:16:40,773
Well, if that's truly
what Scott is suffering from,

335
00:16:40,773 --> 00:16:42,615
why didn't he just hurt himself?

336
00:16:42,615 --> 00:16:45,440
Because cutting is considered
a girl's disorder.

337
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,067
Boys don't see it as
a socially acceptable outlet.

338
00:16:48,067 --> 00:16:51,066
Are you implying that beating
each other to a bloody pulp is?

339
00:16:51,066 --> 00:16:55,230
Historically and culturally, yes.

340
00:16:58,359 --> 00:17:00,201
- Miss Novak?
- Yes?

341
00:17:00,201 --> 00:17:02,770
The courts officer at the door
pointed you out to me.

342
00:17:02,770 --> 00:17:06,035
I'm Cassandra Sullivan.
I was Riley's girlfriend.

343
00:17:06,035 --> 00:17:07,441
Of course, of course.

344
00:17:07,441 --> 00:17:09,226
His parents told e how close
you two were.

345
00:17:09,226 --> 00:17:10,922
I... I'm so sorry.

346
00:17:10,922 --> 00:17:12,696
So am I.

347
00:17:13,162 --> 00:17:15,555
- You haven't been attending the trial.
- I couldn't.

348
00:17:15,555 --> 00:17:19,243
Scott was Riley's best friend,
so he was my best friend too.

349
00:17:19,243 --> 00:17:21,635
He's going to prison, isn't he?

350
00:17:21,635 --> 00:17:24,472
They just called to tell me
the jury was back with a verdict, so...

351
00:17:24,472 --> 00:17:28,757
He keeps writing me,
telling me how sorry he is.

352
00:17:28,757 --> 00:17:30,430
Did he write about what happened?

353
00:17:30,430 --> 00:17:34,781
No, just that he wishes
it had been him, not Riley.

354
00:17:35,612 --> 00:17:39,394
Listen, I have to go in.
You wanna come with me?

355
00:17:39,394 --> 00:17:40,892
Okay.

356
00:17:42,761 --> 00:17:44,387
Has the jury reached a verdict?

357
00:17:44,387 --> 00:17:45,563
We have, Your Honor.

358
00:17:45,563 --> 00:17:48,873
On the first count of the indictment,
murder in the second degree,

359
00:17:48,873 --> 00:17:50,451
how does the jury find?

360
00:17:50,451 --> 00:17:53,496
We find the defendant not guilty.

361
00:17:53,496 --> 00:17:55,272
One the second count
of the indictment,

362
00:17:55,272 --> 00:17:58,608
manslaughter in the second degree,
how does the jury find?

363
00:17:58,608 --> 00:18:01,138
We find the defendant not guilty.

364
00:18:01,138 --> 00:18:02,995
On the third count
of the indictment,

365
00:18:02,995 --> 00:18:06,458
criminally negligent homicide,
how does the jury find?

366
00:18:06,458 --> 00:18:09,508
We find the defendant guilty.

367
00:18:09,864 --> 00:18:14,460
The defendant is released into the custody
of his parents until sentencing.

368
00:18:14,460 --> 00:18:17,526
The jury is dismissed
with the Court's thanks.

369
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:23,987
Cassandra.

370
00:18:30,351 --> 00:18:32,736
- No, Cassandra, wait.
- Hold it.

371
00:18:44,613 --> 00:18:48,085

Residence of Cassandra Sullivan
46 Clinton Street
Wednesday, April 25

372
00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:51,002
- Yes?
- Mrs. Sullivan?

373
00:18:51,002 --> 00:18:54,899
No, I'm Mrs. Farrell. My foster daughter's
last name is Sullivan.

374
00:18:54,899 --> 00:18:56,497
Is she in?

375
00:18:56,497 --> 00:19:00,449
Every time I get a new foster home,
I get a new school.

376
00:19:00,943 --> 00:19:03,471
Riley was nice to me right away.

377
00:19:03,471 --> 00:19:05,933
- Was it serious?
- Yeah.

378
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:09,015
What about with Scott?

379
00:19:10,513 --> 00:19:13,937
I saw how he looked at you
in the courtroom today.

380
00:19:13,937 --> 00:19:16,602
He's in love with you, isn't he?

381
00:19:17,427 --> 00:19:19,340
Yes.

382
00:19:20,346 --> 00:19:22,471
- Did Riley know?
- No.

383
00:19:22,471 --> 00:19:24,034
I told Scott he never could.

384
00:19:24,034 --> 00:19:27,948
So you were dating Scott on the side?

385
00:19:29,259 --> 00:19:30,598
I feel horrible, okay?

386
00:19:30,598 --> 00:19:32,964
It only happened once,
but he wouldn't let it go.

387
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:35,145
Cassandra, this changes everything.

388
00:19:35,145 --> 00:19:37,161
If Scott had a motive
to kill your boyfriend,

389
00:19:37,161 --> 00:19:40,081
it might not have been an accident.

390
00:19:40,612 --> 00:19:43,373
I know it wasn't.

391
00:19:43,782 --> 00:19:47,599
How?
Did Scott confess to you?

392
00:19:48,295 --> 00:19:49,550
No.

393
00:19:49,550 --> 00:19:53,335
I had a physiology/anatomy class
with Scott.

394
00:19:53,335 --> 00:19:57,021
A week before it happened,
we learned about the femoral artery...

395
00:19:57,021 --> 00:20:00,491
if it's cut, how quickly
a person can exsanguinate.

396
00:20:00,491 --> 00:20:01,962
What?

397
00:20:01,962 --> 00:20:04,872
That means bleed to death.

398
00:20:09,907 --> 00:20:12,152
How did my desk become
the food distribution center?

399
00:20:12,152 --> 00:20:13,760
We've got a bigger mess than that.

400
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,369
Scott Heston just got away with murder.

401
00:20:16,369 --> 00:20:17,827
I heard you got him on the E felony.

402
00:20:17,827 --> 00:20:20,958
Yeah, which could get him four years
or as little as probation.

403
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:23,750
Now I find out that he was obsessed
with Riley's girlfriend

404
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,656
and just learned his quick and effective
killing technique in a science class.

405
00:20:27,656 --> 00:20:29,265
Motive, opportunity, and intent.

406
00:20:29,265 --> 00:20:31,116
And Double Jeopardy.
I can't retry him.

407
00:20:31,116 --> 00:20:32,740
You can still make sure he gets the max.

408
00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:35,113
Yeah, it would help if Cassandra
would speak at his sentencing hearing,

409
00:20:35,113 --> 00:20:36,747
- but she won't.
- Why not?

410
00:20:36,747 --> 00:20:37,550
Guilt.

411
00:20:37,550 --> 00:20:40,518
She thinks that it's her fault
that he killed Riley.

412
00:20:40,518 --> 00:20:44,563
Well, look, even if she did speak,
it's still circumstantial.

413
00:20:45,301 --> 00:20:47,438
We need a confession.

414
00:20:48,055 --> 00:20:50,156

H.S. 85
127 East 3rd Street
Thursday, April 26

415
00:20:50,156 --> 00:20:51,599
Man, I'm freaking screwed.

416
00:20:51,599 --> 00:20:52,920
Dude, you think you're in trouble?

417
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,416
Last night, I used my dad's credit card
to play online poker,

418
00:20:55,416 --> 00:20:57,278
and lost 1000 bucks.

419
00:20:57,278 --> 00:20:59,568
- That sucks, man.
- Tell me about it.

420
00:20:59,568 --> 00:21:01,226
You boys be careful.

421
00:21:01,226 --> 00:21:04,088
Scotty's friendships don't end too well.

422
00:21:04,692 --> 00:21:06,241
Later.

423
00:21:08,444 --> 00:21:09,838
What's your problem?

424
00:21:09,838 --> 00:21:11,674
Being played by a punk like you.

425
00:21:11,674 --> 00:21:13,878
We know about Cassandra.

426
00:21:14,099 --> 00:21:15,781
What about her?

427
00:21:16,021 --> 00:21:17,670
You were banging your best friend's girl.

428
00:21:17,670 --> 00:21:18,479
No, I wasn't.

429
00:21:18,479 --> 00:21:20,577
She chose Riley, not you.
That's why you killed him.

430
00:21:20,577 --> 00:21:21,901
Hoping that you'd get her by default?

431
00:21:21,901 --> 00:21:23,802
- I don't know where you're getting this.
- Not too swift.

432
00:21:23,802 --> 00:21:25,997
Maybe too many blows to the head
with a barbed wire bat.

433
00:21:25,997 --> 00:21:29,062
Whatever. / It's a good thing you
like pain, Scotty.

434
00:21:29,062 --> 00:21:30,100
You're gonna have plenty of chances

435
00:21:30,100 --> 00:21:32,415
to be on the receiving end
your four years in prison.

436
00:21:32,415 --> 00:21:33,993
The judge might go easier on you

437
00:21:33,993 --> 00:21:36,989
if you take responsibility for
what you did.

438
00:21:37,528 --> 00:21:39,947
Look, I just lost my two best friends.

439
00:21:39,947 --> 00:21:42,041
One's dead, and the other's
never gonna talk to me again, okay?

440
00:21:42,041 --> 00:21:44,124
You think I care what happens to me?

441
00:21:44,124 --> 00:21:46,426
No. Nothing matters now.

442
00:21:46,682 --> 00:21:48,694
See you at sentencing.

443
00:21:48,898 --> 00:21:51,504
I can't speak at the sentencing hearing.

444
00:21:51,504 --> 00:21:53,208
Cassandra, hold on.

445
00:21:53,656 --> 00:21:55,962
What Scott did wasn't your fault.

446
00:21:55,962 --> 00:21:58,617
Yes, it was.

447
00:21:58,617 --> 00:22:00,307
I led him on.

448
00:22:00,307 --> 00:22:02,038
Were you in love with Scott?

449
00:22:02,038 --> 00:22:03,680
No.

450
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,712
Riley's the only person I ever loved.

451
00:22:06,712 --> 00:22:09,677
Then why did you cheat on him?

452
00:22:10,404 --> 00:22:15,455
He dumped me once.
Said I was too needy.

453
00:22:15,455 --> 00:22:18,295
I was devastated.

454
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:22,100
I went to Scott,
screaming and crying,

455
00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,790
begged him to talk to Riley for me.

456
00:22:25,790 --> 00:22:30,211
He hugged me and it just happened.

457
00:22:31,403 --> 00:22:33,240
Cassandra.

458
00:22:35,265 --> 00:22:38,505
Scott took advantage of you.

459
00:22:39,860 --> 00:22:43,736
I've been shuttled between
foster homes my whole life.

460
00:22:43,736 --> 00:22:45,705
I never felt wanted.

461
00:22:45,705 --> 00:22:48,775
Scott wanted me more than anything.

462
00:22:48,775 --> 00:22:50,491
I understand.

463
00:22:50,491 --> 00:22:53,530
But you didn't stay with him, did you?

464
00:22:54,945 --> 00:22:58,925
Riley and I got back together
the next day.

465
00:22:58,925 --> 00:23:01,711
I was so stupid.

466
00:23:01,711 --> 00:23:05,136
I can't believe I did that to him.

467
00:23:05,391 --> 00:23:08,682
If you want to make amends,

468
00:23:08,682 --> 00:23:12,242
you'll speak for Riley at that hearing.

469
00:23:12,906 --> 00:23:17,010
Don't you think you
at least owe him that?

470
00:23:24,275 --> 00:23:26,003
Okay.

471
00:23:26,964 --> 00:23:28,469
Good.

472
00:23:29,005 --> 00:23:30,924

Trial Part 17
Friday, April 27

473
00:23:30,924 --> 00:23:33,920
Before I pronounce sentence,
does anybody wish to be heard?

474
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,998
Yes, Your Honor.

475
00:23:34,998 --> 00:23:36,478
The parents of the victim are in the court

476
00:23:36,478 --> 00:23:39,028
and would like to make a victim
impact statement.

477
00:23:39,028 --> 00:23:41,204
Mr. and Mrs. Cuskey...

478
00:23:49,042 --> 00:23:53,743
My name is Virginia Cuskey,
and this is my husband, Sam.

479
00:23:54,587 --> 00:23:59,845
On March 28th, we lost the most
precious thing in our lives.

480
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:01,964
- Our only son, Riley.
- Where's Cassandra?

481
00:24:01,964 --> 00:24:04,356
I talked to her an hour ago.
She said she was walking out the door.

482
00:24:04,356 --> 00:24:06,194
I told her we'd be in Part 17.

483
00:24:06,194 --> 00:24:07,161
Would you go check and make sure

484
00:24:07,161 --> 00:24:10,338
she's not wandering around
the courthouse, lost?

485
00:24:11,461 --> 00:24:16,729
It is unbearable that I will
never get to see my son

486
00:24:16,729 --> 00:24:20,948
go to a prom,
graduate from high school,

487
00:24:20,948 --> 00:24:24,905
get married, have children...

488
00:24:27,442 --> 00:24:31,437
Have her call me on this number
if you hear from her first.

489
00:24:31,437 --> 00:24:33,606
- Thank you.
- Where is she?

490
00:24:33,606 --> 00:24:37,111
The foster mother said that she left
the apartment right after she talked to me.

491
00:24:37,111 --> 00:24:38,614
She got cold feet.

492
00:24:38,614 --> 00:24:40,900
Well, you don't think that Scott
did something to her, do you?

493
00:24:40,900 --> 00:24:45,102
No, Novak said Gates had him here
an hour early rehearsing his crocodile tears.

494
00:24:45,102 --> 00:24:48,148
Riley and me both sucked at sports.

495
00:24:48,427 --> 00:24:51,206
Neither of us ever made
a school team. Which...

496
00:24:51,206 --> 00:24:53,323
just made us losers.

497
00:24:53,323 --> 00:24:56,711
Then we found extreme fighting,
and we were gods.

498
00:24:56,711 --> 00:25:01,083
I mean, it's... it's the only time
we ever really felt alive.

499
00:25:01,083 --> 00:25:02,990
We watched the videos online

500
00:25:02,990 --> 00:25:06,046
for hours, you know,
copied all the moves.

501
00:25:06,046 --> 00:25:08,804
No one ever died doing it before.

502
00:25:14,899 --> 00:25:17,640
I lost my best friend.

503
00:25:17,903 --> 00:25:21,988
My only consolation is that
Riley died doing what he loved.

504
00:25:21,988 --> 00:25:27,541
I am going to have to live with what I did
to him for the rest of my life.

505
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,653
Which... I expect will suck.

506
00:25:37,846 --> 00:25:39,706
I'm sorry.

507
00:25:40,649 --> 00:25:43,147
More than you'll ever know.

508
00:25:49,181 --> 00:25:50,393
Thank you.

509
00:25:51,112 --> 00:25:53,258
Has everyone spoken
who would like to be heard?

510
00:25:53,258 --> 00:25:55,121
I have one more person on her way

511
00:25:55,121 --> 00:25:57,768
if the court will indulge
in a brief recess, Your Honor.

512
00:25:57,768 --> 00:26:00,240
These proceedings have gone on
for some time, Ms. Novak.

513
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,236
If she's not here by now,
I don't think she's coming.

514
00:26:03,236 --> 00:26:05,438
I'm ready to pronounce sentence

515
00:26:05,775 --> 00:26:08,059
Five years probation.
It's not even a slap on the wrist.

516
00:26:08,059 --> 00:26:10,389
He did have to sit through that
stern lecture from the judge.

517
00:26:10,389 --> 00:26:13,306
Well, at least she made continuing therapy
a condition of his probation.

518
00:26:13,306 --> 00:26:15,552
He'd been seeing that shrink
for six months when he killed Riley.

519
00:26:15,552 --> 00:26:18,068
Maybe she should order
he find a new one.

520
00:26:18,068 --> 00:26:19,439
Now she calls.

521
00:26:19,764 --> 00:26:21,038
Hello.

522
00:26:21,848 --> 00:26:23,429
Mrs. Farrell?

523
00:26:23,774 --> 00:26:25,332
Mrs. Farrell, you gotta calm down.
I can't...

524
00:26:25,332 --> 00:26:27,733
I can't understand
a word you're saying.

525
00:26:29,841 --> 00:26:32,781
I will meet you there.
I'll meet you at the hospital.

526
00:26:33,299 --> 00:26:35,529
Cassandra was hit by a car.

527
00:26:36,632 --> 00:26:38,665

Department of Transportation
40 Worth Street
Friday, April 27

528
00:26:38,665 --> 00:26:41,464
- What was the intersection?
- Avenue A and Third Street.

529
00:26:41,464 --> 00:26:43,099
Do you know the exact time
she was hit?

530
00:26:43,099 --> 00:26:44,877
Between 9:45 and 10:00.

531
00:26:44,877 --> 00:26:45,870
Had to be Scott.

532
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:47,965
I don't know how.
Unless Gates is covering for him.

533
00:26:47,965 --> 00:26:49,889
He was supposed to have been
at the courthouse then.

534
00:26:49,889 --> 00:26:52,782
You know these cameras don't
automatically take pictures of accidents.

535
00:26:52,782 --> 00:26:54,807
They're only triggered
when a car runs a red light.

536
00:26:54,807 --> 00:26:58,129
Witness said it was an old, black Beemer
approaching from the north,

537
00:26:58,129 --> 00:27:01,052
ran the red light, and clipped her
in the middle of the crosswalk.

538
00:27:01,052 --> 00:27:02,677
On her way to court.

539
00:27:02,677 --> 00:27:05,093
No way in hell this was an accident.

540
00:27:05,577 --> 00:27:07,104
Here it is.

541
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,153
Wow, he really nailed her.

542
00:27:12,504 --> 00:27:16,985
New York tag.
SRO-2876...

543
00:27:16,985 --> 00:27:18,752
I'll have a name and address
for you in a jiff.

544
00:27:18,752 --> 00:27:20,807
Can you zoom in on the driver?

545
00:27:23,829 --> 00:27:25,159
That's not Scott.

546
00:27:25,159 --> 00:27:28,000
No, it's not but I've seen him before.

547
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,618
With Scott.

548
00:27:29,618 --> 00:27:32,094
- It wasn't me.
- It sure looks like you.

549
00:27:32,094 --> 00:27:33,786
And he's driving your pop's car.

550
00:27:33,786 --> 00:27:35,512
- Keith.
- Dad, I'm sorry.

551
00:27:35,512 --> 00:27:38,156
Now, weren't you already in trouble
with him for stealing gambling money?

552
00:27:38,156 --> 00:27:40,874
What? / You're in for a big surprise
on your next credit card bill.

553
00:27:40,874 --> 00:27:42,404
You need all the plastic you got.

554
00:27:42,404 --> 00:27:45,204
Good defense attorneys
don't come cheap.

555
00:27:45,204 --> 00:27:46,243
This girl dead?

556
00:27:46,243 --> 00:27:47,496
Not for lack of trying...

557
00:27:47,496 --> 00:27:49,790
she's got a broken leg
and her jaw's been wired shut.

558
00:27:49,790 --> 00:27:51,192
She came out of nowhere.

559
00:27:51,192 --> 00:27:55,040
Did you decide all on your own to go out
and mow down Cassandra Sullivan?

560
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:55,849
No.

561
00:27:55,849 --> 00:27:57,465
Keith, you're looking
at attempted murder.

562
00:27:57,465 --> 00:27:59,756
Now, right now, trust me,

563
00:27:59,756 --> 00:28:02,242
you wanna share the pain.

564
00:28:02,242 --> 00:28:04,500
I wasn't trying to kill her.

565
00:28:04,500 --> 00:28:07,112
I was just trying to mess her
up a little bit. / Why?

566
00:28:07,112 --> 00:28:10,149
- I needed the money.
- How much did he give you?

567
00:28:10,381 --> 00:28:12,789
500 bucks.

568
00:28:14,208 --> 00:28:16,889
Okay. Who hired you?

569
00:28:17,379 --> 00:28:19,686
Who hired you?

570
00:28:20,837 --> 00:28:22,918
Scott.

571
00:28:24,508 --> 00:28:26,463

Mercy General Hospital
365 West 32nd Street
Friday, April 27

572
00:28:26,463 --> 00:28:29,150
We just arrested Scott Heston.

573
00:28:30,836 --> 00:28:32,117
Why?

574
00:28:32,117 --> 00:28:34,731
He's the one who had this
done to you, Cassandra.

575
00:28:34,731 --> 00:28:37,189
So you wouldn't speak at his hearing.

576
00:28:37,807 --> 00:28:41,488
I'm so sorry that we let this
happen to you.

577
00:28:41,488 --> 00:28:43,544
What now?

578
00:28:43,544 --> 00:28:45,745
Well, he's gonna go away this time.

579
00:28:45,745 --> 00:28:49,675
Attempted murder could get
him 25 years.

580
00:28:50,339 --> 00:28:53,058
You should get some sleep now, okay?

581
00:28:53,058 --> 00:28:55,159
I'll come visit you tomorrow.

582
00:28:57,601 --> 00:28:58,810
Excuse me

583
00:28:58,810 --> 00:29:01,903
They told me that a detective
was visiting Cassandra, is that you?

584
00:29:01,903 --> 00:29:03,674
Yes. Detective Benson.

585
00:29:03,674 --> 00:29:05,114
Is she as bad as she looks?

586
00:29:05,114 --> 00:29:07,421
The tibia is snapped clean through.

587
00:29:07,421 --> 00:29:09,558
But the jaw's just a hairline fracture.

588
00:29:09,558 --> 00:29:11,197
And the wire can come off
in a week or two.

589
00:29:11,197 --> 00:29:12,606
Okay, thank you.

590
00:29:12,606 --> 00:29:15,793
Um... Detective,
this is somewhat awkward,

591
00:29:15,793 --> 00:29:18,393
but I'm not sure
who I should report it to.

592
00:29:18,393 --> 00:29:19,450
Report what?

593
00:29:19,450 --> 00:29:22,575
The admission records say
she's 16. / Yeah, she is.

594
00:29:22,575 --> 00:29:26,735
On the X-ray of her jaw,
I noticed she didn't have any buds.

595
00:29:26,735 --> 00:29:28,047
Sorry, what are buds?

596
00:29:28,047 --> 00:29:29,620
Undescended wisdom teeth.

597
00:29:29,620 --> 00:29:32,754
They don't come in until
you reach adulthood.

598
00:29:32,754 --> 00:29:33,862
Right...

599
00:29:33,862 --> 00:29:35,127
When I was wiring her,

600
00:29:35,127 --> 00:29:39,398
I noticed that she had scars where
her wisdom teeth had been extracted.

601
00:29:39,398 --> 00:29:41,095
So what does that mean?

602
00:29:41,095 --> 00:29:43,645
Cassandra can't be 16.

603
00:29:43,645 --> 00:29:46,280
Judging from how well
the scars are healed over,

604
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,638
I'd say she has to be
in her mid to late 20s.

605
00:29:53,910 --> 00:29:55,876
Cassandra Sullivan...
her foster parents say

606
00:29:55,876 --> 00:29:57,862
that you placed her with them
last November.

607
00:29:57,862 --> 00:29:59,362
Here we go.

608
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,300
Ah, no I need to see all the files.

609
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:03,521
This is it.

610
00:30:03,521 --> 00:30:05,762
Well, it can't be. She's been
in foster care her whole life.

611
00:30:05,762 --> 00:30:07,188
She's been through
countless homes.

612
00:30:07,188 --> 00:30:09,110
Not that we placed her in.

613
00:30:09,110 --> 00:30:12,876
A social worker found her sleeping
at Penn Station last October.

614
00:30:12,876 --> 00:30:14,156
Where did she come from?

615
00:30:14,156 --> 00:30:15,958
Allentown, Pennsylvania.

616
00:30:15,958 --> 00:30:19,271
Says she'd been living
in a juvenile group facility there.

617
00:30:19,271 --> 00:30:22,058
Did you get a copy of her birth certificate
or Social Security card?

618
00:30:22,058 --> 00:30:24,429
Not many runaways
think to take those.

619
00:30:24,429 --> 00:30:28,786
We called ACS requesting them.
It appears we're still waiting.

620
00:30:30,970 --> 00:30:34,446
Allentown ACS has no record
of a Cassandra Sullivan.

621
00:30:34,446 --> 00:30:35,265
What's that?

622
00:30:35,265 --> 00:30:38,485
No student by that name was enrolled
in their school system last year.

623
00:30:38,485 --> 00:30:40,333
So Cassandra lied
about where she came from.

624
00:30:40,333 --> 00:30:41,246
Not necessarily.

625
00:30:41,246 --> 00:30:44,758
PA social worker remembers a girl
with basically the same story.

626
00:30:44,758 --> 00:30:46,676
They found her at a bus stop, no ID.

627
00:30:46,676 --> 00:30:48,827
ACS in the state
she claims she came from,

628
00:30:48,827 --> 00:30:50,805
- they never heard of her.
- What'd they do with her?

629
00:30:50,805 --> 00:30:53,416
Well, by the time they got suspicious,
she was in the wind.

630
00:30:53,416 --> 00:30:56,420
They're emailing me
her school ID right now.

631
00:31:02,036 --> 00:31:03,614
That's Cassandra Sullivan.

632
00:31:03,614 --> 00:31:07,102
Well, Allentown Warner High
know her as little Loretta Sheridan.

633
00:31:07,102 --> 00:31:08,518
I guess she didn't like that name.

634
00:31:08,518 --> 00:31:10,234
What she likes is being 16.

635
00:31:10,234 --> 00:31:11,620
She was a sophomore there too.

636
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:12,835
This was five years ago.

637
00:31:12,835 --> 00:31:16,234
Yeah, I wonder how many times
she repeated the tenth grade.

638
00:31:18,618 --> 00:31:20,381
"I'm Cassandra Sullivan.
I'm 16."

639
00:31:20,381 --> 00:31:22,082
We know that's not true.

640
00:31:22,082 --> 00:31:24,242
The thing about high school photos...

641
00:31:24,242 --> 00:31:27,506
they got a way of coming back
and embarrassing us.

642
00:31:28,578 --> 00:31:31,118

- That's not me.

- Of course it is, Loretta.

643
00:31:33,649 --> 00:31:35,103

I'm not Loretta.

644
00:31:35,103 --> 00:31:37,017
Well, whatever your name is.
You're over 21, right?

645
00:31:37,017 --> 00:31:38,057
No!

646
00:31:38,057 --> 00:31:39,653
How long have you been doing this?

647
00:31:39,653 --> 00:31:41,517
Why have you been doing this?
I hated tenth grade.

648
00:31:41,517 --> 00:31:43,456
Go away.

649
00:31:43,456 --> 00:31:46,192
We're not going anywhere
until we sort this out.

650
00:31:46,192 --> 00:31:48,404
Now, I'm sorry for everything
that you've been through,

651
00:31:48,404 --> 00:31:51,324
but this is a completely
separate matter.

652
00:31:51,324 --> 00:31:52,638
What?

653
00:31:52,638 --> 00:31:54,695
You're an adult.
You shouldn't still be in foster care.

654
00:31:54,695 --> 00:31:57,728
And you definitely shouldn't be dating
high school guys.

655
00:32:00,392 --> 00:32:03,694
"Riley's dead.
I'll never date again."

656
00:32:03,694 --> 00:32:05,962
Cassandra, I'm sorry.

657
00:32:06,186 --> 00:32:07,635
Cassandra, you've gotta calm down.

658
00:32:07,635 --> 00:32:09,416
You can't cry with your
mouth wired shut.

659
00:32:09,416 --> 00:32:11,271
You're not gonna be able to breathe.

660
00:32:11,271 --> 00:32:14,479
Here, take a sip of water.

661
00:32:15,287 --> 00:32:17,955
All right, you calm down.
Relax, relax, relax.

662
00:32:17,955 --> 00:32:21,609
Get some rest, we're gonna be
back to talk about this.

663
00:32:24,548 --> 00:32:27,144
Denise Pickering, arrested
for shoplifting in Detroit.

664
00:32:27,144 --> 00:32:28,274
12 years ago.

665
00:32:28,274 --> 00:32:29,732
Who's Denise Pickering?

666
00:32:29,732 --> 00:32:30,976
Cassandra Sullivan.

667
00:32:30,976 --> 00:32:34,951
AKA. Loretta Sheridan,
AKA who knows who else?

668
00:32:35,393 --> 00:32:38,274
She was 16 at the time of her arrest?
That makes her 28 now.

669
00:32:38,274 --> 00:32:40,906
Gotta give her one thing.
She does look good for her age.

670
00:32:40,906 --> 00:32:44,517
The address listed on the report,
that was her very first foster family.

671
00:32:44,517 --> 00:32:46,950
Child services had removed her
from an abusive home.

672
00:32:46,950 --> 00:32:49,481
Foster mom said that she was
in bad shape when she came in,

673
00:32:49,481 --> 00:32:51,960
but a happy kid by the time
she aged out at 18.

674
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,427
So happy she didn't want
to leave, apparently.

675
00:32:54,427 --> 00:32:56,681
So, what, she just went
from state to state

676
00:32:56,681 --> 00:32:58,996
sneaking back into foster care
for the next 12 years?

677
00:32:58,996 --> 00:33:00,032
I think so.

678
00:33:00,032 --> 00:33:02,727
Does she realize she could go
to jail for theft over this?

679
00:33:02,727 --> 00:33:05,116
She's fraudulently been
receiving a free education

680
00:33:05,116 --> 00:33:06,748
and free foster care from the state.

681
00:33:06,748 --> 00:33:07,795
I think our biggest problem is

682
00:33:07,795 --> 00:33:10,460
we have a grown woman attending
high school with a bunch of kids.

683
00:33:10,460 --> 00:33:11,471
Not anymore.

684
00:33:11,471 --> 00:33:14,120
Yank her out and notify ACS
to cut all services.

685
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,205
What is gonna happen to her?

686
00:33:15,205 --> 00:33:17,895
Because I think psychologically,
she still is a kid.

687
00:33:17,895 --> 00:33:19,580
She's never taken care of herself.

688
00:33:19,580 --> 00:33:22,889
Well, she's pushing 30.
It's time to grow up.

689
00:33:23,385 --> 00:33:25,732
But I'll help her find some counseling.

690
00:33:26,351 --> 00:33:28,086
If a cold chill just ran up your spine,

691
00:33:28,086 --> 00:33:30,198
it's because a defense attorney
just walked in here.

692
00:33:30,198 --> 00:33:31,677
I need to report a rape.

693
00:33:31,677 --> 00:33:33,449
One of your clients take
advantage of you, Mr. Gates?

694
00:33:33,449 --> 00:33:36,277
No, one of my clients was raped.
I'm the outcry witness.

695
00:33:36,277 --> 00:33:38,278
- And who's that?
- Scott Heston.

696
00:33:38,278 --> 00:33:39,963
Scott Heston was attacked in prison?

697
00:33:39,963 --> 00:33:41,118
No, in high school,

698
00:33:41,118 --> 00:33:43,772
by a 28-year-old woman
posing as a student.

699
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:44,936
You gotta be kidding me with this.

700
00:33:44,936 --> 00:33:47,007
No, I'm serious as a heart attack.

701
00:33:47,007 --> 00:33:49,825
Cassandra Sullivan,
or whatever her real name is,

702
00:33:49,825 --> 00:33:53,199
committed statutory rape.
I want her arrested.

703
00:33:53,199 --> 00:33:55,925
And I want your sex crimes DA
to prosecute.

704
00:33:55,925 --> 00:33:58,108
Hold on. You want Casey
to prosecute the girl

705
00:33:58,108 --> 00:33:59,371
whose boyfriend that he killed?

706
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:00,690
The girl that he tried to have murdered?

707
00:34:00,690 --> 00:34:02,631
Well, maybe that's why he did it.

708
00:34:02,631 --> 00:34:05,728
Maybe he was suffering
from rape trauma syndrome.

709
00:34:05,728 --> 00:34:07,771
That's what this is about.
It's a legal tactic.

710
00:34:07,771 --> 00:34:09,537
Scott's attempted murder trial
is coming up

711
00:34:09,537 --> 00:34:11,847
and you need smoke and
mirrors for the jury.

712
00:34:11,847 --> 00:34:14,131
I hear that you found out
about her weeks ago.

713
00:34:14,131 --> 00:34:16,213
How come you haven't arrested her?

714
00:34:16,213 --> 00:34:18,904
- They had sex once.
- Detective Stabler.

715
00:34:18,904 --> 00:34:20,935
I'm shocked by your double standard.

716
00:34:20,935 --> 00:34:23,452
Is that what you'd say
to an underage female victim

717
00:34:23,452 --> 00:34:25,660
who'd just been seduced
by a lecherous old man?

718
00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:26,917
He seduced her.

719
00:34:26,917 --> 00:34:28,837
So the victim was asking for it?

720
00:34:28,837 --> 00:34:30,579
Stat rape is a liability crime.

721
00:34:30,579 --> 00:34:34,252
And you do not discretion
on whether to charge or not.

722
00:34:39,550 --> 00:34:41,599

Bowery Safe Haven
16 East 2nd Street
Wednesday, May 9

723
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:44,424
They kicked me out of school,
out of foster care.

724
00:34:44,424 --> 00:34:48,999
Everything I own in the world
is in those two garbage bags.

725
00:34:48,999 --> 00:34:52,354
If you hadn't gotten me into this shelter,
I'd be living on the street.

726
00:34:52,354 --> 00:34:53,703
I want you to take the plea.

727
00:34:53,703 --> 00:34:55,133
I didn't rape anybody.

728
00:34:55,133 --> 00:34:56,920
Technically, you did.

729
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,707
I'm only 16.

730
00:34:59,707 --> 00:35:02,244
You're gonna have to drop
that act, Denise.

731
00:35:02,244 --> 00:35:04,219
My name is Cassandra.

732
00:35:04,219 --> 00:35:08,120
If you don't take the plea,
I'm gonna have to take you to trial.

733
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,429
Scott's gonna be transported
from Rikers to testify against you.

734
00:35:11,429 --> 00:35:14,931
I am not gonna admit
to something I didn't do.

735
00:35:16,145 --> 00:35:20,032
The sentence for rape three
is one and a third to 3 years.

736
00:35:20,032 --> 00:35:21,900
I'm offering you probation.

737
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:25,681
Only if I admit that I'm
that woman, and I'm not.

738
00:35:25,681 --> 00:35:28,091
I wanna got to court to clear my name.

739
00:35:28,091 --> 00:35:30,033
Then we're gonna have to find
you a good public defender.

740
00:35:30,033 --> 00:35:31,870
I don't want one.

741
00:35:32,513 --> 00:35:35,175
I wanna defend myself.

742
00:35:38,010 --> 00:35:39,816

Trial Part 38
Monday, May 14

743
00:35:39,816 --> 00:35:42,108
- Did you have sex with the defendant?
- I did.

744
00:35:42,108 --> 00:35:44,341
And what age did you believe
her to be at that time?

745
00:35:44,341 --> 00:35:45,736
16.

746
00:35:45,736 --> 00:35:49,528
And what did you later discover
her true age to be?

747
00:35:50,478 --> 00:35:52,254
28.

748
00:35:52,254 --> 00:35:54,549
How did that make you feel?

749
00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:58,447
Sick to my stomach.
Creeped out.

750
00:35:58,447 --> 00:36:00,792
Like all the kids back at school knew
and were laughing at me.

751
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:03,397
Embarrassed and humiliated.

752
00:36:03,711 --> 00:36:05,801
Nothing further.

753
00:36:05,801 --> 00:36:09,073
Does the defense have any questions
for this witness?

754
00:36:09,073 --> 00:36:10,854
I do, Your Honor.

755
00:36:10,854 --> 00:36:13,984
Miss Pickering, the Court reminds you
you're strongly advised

756
00:36:13,984 --> 00:36:16,982
to consult your court-appointed
attorney, should you need to,

757
00:36:16,982 --> 00:36:19,868
regarding permissible
lines of questioning.

758
00:36:19,868 --> 00:36:22,622
Thank you, Your Honor.
I will.

759
00:36:30,444 --> 00:36:32,719
You stated that we had sex?

760
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,842
You know we did.

761
00:36:35,178 --> 00:36:38,200
Did I ask you out?

762
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,208
No.

763
00:36:39,208 --> 00:36:41,839
On the one night in question,
did I make a pass at you?

764
00:36:41,839 --> 00:36:43,942
Yes, you wrapped
your arms around me

765
00:36:43,942 --> 00:36:45,687
and pressed your body
against mine.

766
00:36:45,687 --> 00:36:47,726
I was crying on your shoulder.

767
00:36:47,726 --> 00:36:49,281
Make that a question, Miss Pickering.

768
00:36:49,281 --> 00:36:50,383
That's not my name.

769
00:36:50,383 --> 00:36:53,529
You were crying over my friend Riley
who had just dumped your skanky ass.

770
00:36:53,529 --> 00:36:55,751
- Objection.
- You can't object, Miss Pickering.

771
00:36:55,751 --> 00:36:57,484
Watch your language, Mr. Heston.

772
00:36:57,484 --> 00:36:59,943
My best friend, Riley, who you
also tricked into screwing you

773
00:36:59,943 --> 00:37:01,688
because he thought
you were 16 like I did.

774
00:37:01,688 --> 00:37:02,720
I am 16.

775
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,180
You took advantage of us.
You're disgusting.

776
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:06,012
I'm disgusting?
You're disgusting,

777
00:37:06,012 --> 00:37:08,475
calling Riley your friend
after what you did to him.

778
00:37:08,475 --> 00:37:11,002
- Bailiff, take the jury out.
- You murdered him.

779
00:37:11,002 --> 00:37:14,640
I only killed him because of you.
It's your fault, you freak.

780
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,539
- Court officer!
- Stop it.

781
00:37:16,947 --> 00:37:19,625
I hate you.
I hate you.

782
00:37:20,540 --> 00:37:22,896
- Son, calm down.
- Freak.

783
00:37:25,231 --> 00:37:27,093
Get him out of here.

784
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:33,707
I got him to admit he killed Riley.

785
00:37:33,707 --> 00:37:35,385
Was that your plan all along?

786
00:37:35,385 --> 00:37:36,869
Yes.

787
00:37:36,869 --> 00:37:41,794
So pretending to think that you were
really 16 was all just an act.

788
00:37:41,794 --> 00:37:43,474
No.

789
00:37:46,827 --> 00:37:51,363
I was gonna have to call witnesses
to prove who you really are.

790
00:37:53,064 --> 00:37:55,464
There's one I'd like you to see.

791
00:37:57,664 --> 00:37:59,901
Mrs. Hayes, you can come in now.

792
00:38:01,173 --> 00:38:03,225
Denise.

793
00:38:05,875 --> 00:38:07,887
You don't remember me?

794
00:38:07,887 --> 00:38:09,762
No.

795
00:38:11,605 --> 00:38:13,827
I'm Jeannie Hayes.

796
00:38:13,827 --> 00:38:16,382
You came to stay with us in Detroit.

797
00:38:16,382 --> 00:38:18,312
A long time ago.

798
00:38:18,312 --> 00:38:22,538
I'm so sorry. You must have me
confused with someone else.

799
00:38:24,059 --> 00:38:26,302
I brought pictures.

800
00:38:34,777 --> 00:38:37,859
The girl in the photo looks happy.

801
00:38:37,859 --> 00:38:40,617
That's you, silly.

802
00:38:40,617 --> 00:38:43,010
You loved that swing.

803
00:38:43,010 --> 00:38:46,091
Used to spend hours on it.

804
00:38:46,348 --> 00:38:51,470
Then you aged out of foster care,
and you had to leave us.

805
00:38:54,232 --> 00:38:58,378
They dumped me on the street.
I had no place to go.

806
00:38:58,378 --> 00:39:00,657
That wasn't me.

807
00:39:00,657 --> 00:39:03,288
It was the system.

808
00:39:03,288 --> 00:39:07,787
They cut off the money.
I'm sorry.

809
00:39:07,787 --> 00:39:11,807
I'm sorry I couldn't afford to keep you.

810
00:39:12,111 --> 00:39:14,796
I was 18.

811
00:39:15,658 --> 00:39:19,690
No one prepared me
to go out in the world alone.

812
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:23,258
You were the first person
who ever took care of me.

813
00:39:23,258 --> 00:39:27,321
I really just wanted that back.

814
00:39:32,743 --> 00:39:33,808
I'll have to refiled,

815
00:39:33,808 --> 00:39:36,168
but I think I can get her
to take the plea now.

816
00:39:36,168 --> 00:39:38,727
I doubt the other DAs
will be as lenient.

817
00:39:38,727 --> 00:39:40,156
What other DAs?

818
00:39:40,156 --> 00:39:42,214
Her story got picked up
on the news wire.

819
00:39:42,214 --> 00:39:43,802
Other boys are coming forward.

820
00:39:43,802 --> 00:39:46,132
Statute of limitations
has run out on some of them,

821
00:39:46,132 --> 00:39:48,419
but not all of them.

822
00:39:54,340 --> 00:39:59,101
Martin Lynch, from Catterick
High in Indiana.

823
00:40:03,482 --> 00:40:07,178
Harlan Stell from your school
in Maryland.

824
00:40:08,464 --> 00:40:12,273
Roy Fox from Park View, New Jersey.

825
00:40:12,759 --> 00:40:15,168
Do you remember them?

826
00:40:17,126 --> 00:40:19,814
You had sex with those boys.

827
00:40:21,381 --> 00:40:25,118
They were my high school
sweethearts.

828
00:40:26,931 --> 00:40:30,057
Riley wasn't the love of your life.

829
00:40:30,810 --> 00:40:33,576
You didn't love any of them.

830
00:40:33,867 --> 00:40:35,731
I did.

831
00:40:35,731 --> 00:40:37,364
I loved them all.

832
00:40:37,364 --> 00:40:39,441
So why'd you leave them?

833
00:40:39,441 --> 00:40:41,642
They got older.

834
00:40:41,642 --> 00:40:43,811
I didn't.

835
