1
00:00:03,951 --> 00:00:07,397
- In the criminal justice
system,

2
00:00:07,398 --> 00:00:08,834
the people are represented

3
00:00:08,835 --> 00:00:11,358
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:

4
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:13,229
the police,
who investigate crime,

5
00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:16,145
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.

6
00:00:16,146 --> 00:00:17,713
These are their stories.

7
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:21,847
- I told you, this has to stop.

8
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,402
Please, just leave me alone.

9
00:00:23,545 --> 00:00:24,807
- Emily,

10
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:26,852
everyone's
waiting to toast you.

11
00:00:27,027 --> 00:00:28,331
- [sighs]

12
00:00:28,332 --> 00:00:29,768
- You okay?

13
00:00:29,986 --> 00:00:32,466
- Gotta keep the bad energy
far away, right?

14
00:00:32,467 --> 00:00:35,818
[breathes deeply]
Okay.

15

[upbeat music playing]

16
00:00:37,298 --> 00:00:39,213
[cheers and applause]

17
00:00:39,430 --> 00:00:40,480
- Emily!

18
00:00:40,649 --> 00:00:44,218
[cheering]

19
00:00:44,435 --> 00:00:47,350
- Great work, Emily!

20
00:00:47,351 --> 00:00:48,831
- You're brilliant!

21
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:52,225
- I wanna thank you all
for coming tonight,

22
00:00:52,226 --> 00:00:54,183
my fellow free thinkers,

23
00:00:54,184 --> 00:00:56,578
my passionate positivists.
- Yes!

24
00:00:56,579 --> 00:00:58,883
- Tomorrow we get to share
so many of the ideas

25
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:00,799
we've discovered together.

26
00:01:01,017 --> 00:01:05,282
We get to help even more people
embrace holistic wellness.

27
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,372
Here's to long,
healthy lives ahead.

28
00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:11,419
[cheers and applause]

29
00:01:13,421 --> 00:01:15,466
- All right, what have we got?

30
00:01:15,684 --> 00:01:18,121
- Female, mid-30s,

31
00:01:18,339 --> 00:01:19,909
gunshot to
the back of the head.

32
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,559
Name is Emily Starr.

33
00:01:21,777 --> 00:01:23,170
- Close range, huh?

34
00:01:23,171 --> 00:01:25,258
- MLI said there was some
stippling on the scalp

35
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:26,302
from the powder burns.

36
00:01:26,303 --> 00:01:27,783
- Time of death?

37
00:01:27,784 --> 00:01:30,089
- Body temp indicates
between 10:00 and midnight.

38
00:01:30,090 --> 00:01:31,699
- Any witnesses?

39
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:33,266
- A clerk at the bodega around
the corner remembers hearing

40
00:01:33,267 --> 00:01:36,574
a loud noise around 10:45
and seeing someone

41
00:01:36,575 --> 00:01:39,707
rush from the scaffolding in a
puffy tan coat with a tote bag.

42
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:41,536
- Man? Woman?
- He couldn't say.

43
00:01:41,753 --> 00:01:43,625
Perp had a hood and scarf on.

44
00:01:43,626 --> 00:01:46,322
- Guessing because of
the scaffolding, no cameras?

45
00:01:46,323 --> 00:01:47,889
- Nothing functioning
around here.

46
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:48,940
- Thanks.

47
00:01:48,978 --> 00:01:50,414
- What have we got?

48
00:01:50,632 --> 00:01:53,286
Right. Wallet, phone.

49
00:01:53,287 --> 00:01:54,723
- That's a pretty nice purse.

50
00:01:56,464 --> 00:01:58,814
- Emily Starr.

51
00:01:59,031 --> 00:02:01,860
"Your Amazing Life."

52
00:02:02,078 --> 00:02:04,298
- Just got cut short.

00:02:04,515 --> 00:02:07,301
[tense music]

54
00:02:07,518 --> 00:02:10,217

[dramatic music]

56
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:20,314
? ?

57
00:02:56,306 --> 00:02:59,439
- How long had you
been working for her?

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,963
- Three years.

59
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:04,358
- Emily was
a wellness influencer?

60
00:03:04,575 --> 00:03:05,625
TikTok and all that?

61
00:03:05,794 --> 00:03:07,187
- It started that way.

62
00:03:07,404 --> 00:03:09,972
About ten years ago,
she beat stomach cancer-

63
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,886
naturally.

64
00:03:11,887 --> 00:03:13,931
She started a vlog about it,
that caught on,

65
00:03:13,932 --> 00:03:15,890
and pretty soon,
she was recommending

66
00:03:15,891 --> 00:03:19,199
homeopathic remedies for
sleep issues, skin problems.

67
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,938
A few years ago
she opened the center here

68
00:03:20,939 --> 00:03:22,201
because so many
of her followers

69
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:24,682
wanted to work
with her in person.

70
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:28,208
- Does Emily have any family
that we should be notifying?

71
00:03:28,209 --> 00:03:29,991
- No-her mom split
when she was young,

72
00:03:29,992 --> 00:03:31,562
and her dad died
of lung cancer.

73
00:03:31,563 --> 00:03:34,125
That's what got her started
on her health journey.

74
00:03:34,126 --> 00:03:37,042
- Emily was killed
on 10th and 27th.

75
00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:39,000
You know what
she was doing there?

76
00:03:39,001 --> 00:03:41,350
- She was walking home
from her book party here.

77
00:03:41,351 --> 00:03:43,135
- Did she leave alone?
- Yeah.

78
00:03:43,136 --> 00:03:44,658
- Were there any problems
at the party?

79
00:03:44,659 --> 00:03:45,709
Any arguments?

80
00:03:45,790 --> 00:03:46,965
- No.

81
00:03:47,183 --> 00:03:49,620
It was a great night.
[sighs]

82
00:03:49,621 --> 00:03:52,056
But she did get a call
that kind of rattled her.

83
00:03:52,057 --> 00:03:53,885
- Do you know who from?
- No.

84
00:03:54,103 --> 00:03:57,628
She stepped away to take it
and looked worried.

85
00:03:58,629 --> 00:04:00,978
[phone ringing]

86
00:04:00,979 --> 00:04:03,286
- The ME says the slug
pulled from the vic

87
00:04:03,504 --> 00:04:05,680
was from a.22 caliber.

88
00:04:05,681 --> 00:04:08,247
The grate sweeps have not
found a murder weapon,

89
00:04:08,248 --> 00:04:10,858
so where are we at with
this menacing conversation?

90
00:04:10,859 --> 00:04:11,946
- According to
Emily Starr's cell records,

91
00:04:11,947 --> 00:04:13,731
between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m.,

92
00:04:13,732 --> 00:04:15,819
she got seven calls
from the same number.

93
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:17,257
- And?

94
00:04:17,431 --> 00:04:19,259
- The number traces to

95
00:04:19,476 --> 00:04:20,737
Skylar Gibson.

96
00:04:20,738 --> 00:04:24,393
- Oh, she's another
health influencer.

97
00:04:24,394 --> 00:04:26,614
And judging by
her social media posts-

98
00:04:26,831 --> 00:04:29,356


99
00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,488
she's not a fan of Emily Starr.

100
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:35,013
- She also texted Emily
an hour before she was killed.

101
00:04:35,231 --> 00:04:37,973
"Watch your back, bitch."

102
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:39,975
- That doesn't sound healthy.

103
00:04:43,065 --> 00:04:45,197
- Emily and I used
to be friends,

104
00:04:45,372 --> 00:04:47,591
roommates for a couple years.

105
00:04:47,592 --> 00:04:49,766
We planned to write
a wellness book together.

106
00:04:49,767 --> 00:04:51,159
- And what,
she went off on her own?

107
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,378
- [sighs]

108
00:04:52,379 --> 00:04:54,946
She wrote her book
without even telling me.

109
00:04:54,947 --> 00:04:57,165
Then last week I got my hands
on an early copy,

110
00:04:57,166 --> 00:04:59,255
saw my recipes,
my pose sequence.

111
00:04:59,429 --> 00:05:01,170
- And that ticked you off?

112
00:05:01,171 --> 00:05:04,041
- The wellness market is a $2
trillion industry, detectives.

113
00:05:04,042 --> 00:05:05,914
We all want a piece.

114
00:05:05,915 --> 00:05:07,567
This was a serious
business dispute.

115
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:08,916
- "Watch your back, bitch"?

116
00:05:08,917 --> 00:05:09,917
- That doesn't sound
very businessy.

117
00:05:09,918 --> 00:05:10,961
- Mm-mm.

118
00:05:10,962 --> 00:05:12,528
You got an alibi
for last night?

119
00:05:12,529 --> 00:05:14,443
- I was leading
an online breath class-

120
00:05:14,444 --> 00:05:16,184
the whole thing was recorded.

121
00:05:16,185 --> 00:05:19,135
I never stepped foot outside
this building until 11:00 p.m.

122
00:05:20,189 --> 00:05:22,539
Look, I'm sorry
she's dead, truly.

123
00:05:22,757 --> 00:05:24,366
- Okay.

124
00:05:24,367 --> 00:05:27,849
But can you think of anyone
who might want to kill her?

125
00:05:28,066 --> 00:05:29,720
- [sighs]

126
00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:33,376
Well, her ex, Zane,
loved her too much.

127
00:05:33,594 --> 00:05:35,291
Trolled her after the breakup.

128
00:05:35,465 --> 00:05:36,858
Dude had anger issues.

129
00:05:37,075 --> 00:05:38,686
[soft tense music]

130
00:05:38,687 --> 00:05:41,644
And I'm betting he didn't like
that Emily wrote about him.

131
00:05:41,645 --> 00:05:42,993
- In her new book?

132
00:05:42,994 --> 00:05:46,694
- Chapter 13, "Cleansing
Yourself of an Evil Ex."

133
00:05:46,911 --> 00:05:50,132
? ?

134
00:05:56,747 --> 00:05:58,531
- Hi, Zane.

135
00:05:58,532 --> 00:05:59,532
We're just gonna play a little
show and tell, all right?

136
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:00,968
I'm gonna show you a video,

137
00:06:00,969 --> 00:06:01,925
you're gonna tell me
what the hell you're doing.

138
00:06:01,926 --> 00:06:04,276
Sit down.

139
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:10,152
That's you at Emily's
book party two nights ago,

140
00:06:10,153 --> 00:06:13,154
trying to get in, while that
nice gentleman with the iPad

141
00:06:13,155 --> 00:06:15,026
is telling you to take a hike.

142
00:06:15,244 --> 00:06:17,246
That piss you off?
- No!

143
00:06:17,247 --> 00:06:19,421
I-I just wanted
five minutes of her time.

144
00:06:19,422 --> 00:06:20,857
I wanted to make amends.

145
00:06:20,858 --> 00:06:22,772
- Make amends for trolling
her online for a year?

146
00:06:22,773 --> 00:06:24,732
- Look,
I'm a better man now, okay?

147
00:06:24,949 --> 00:06:26,864
I-I'm getting married
next month,

148
00:06:27,082 --> 00:06:28,952
and I credit Emily
for motivating me

149
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,389
to get my act together.

150
00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:32,827
- Why the sudden need
to unburden yourself?

151
00:06:32,828 --> 00:06:34,393
I mean, do you really think
she would have

152
00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:36,308
wanted you at her big night?

153
00:06:36,309 --> 00:06:37,700
- I heard her on
the radio this week.

154
00:06:37,701 --> 00:06:39,529
She was reading from her book.

155
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:44,315
It's a bit about me,
and I sounded awful.

156
00:06:44,316 --> 00:06:46,667
So I went to apologize,

157
00:06:46,668 --> 00:06:48,885
and then they wouldn't
let me in, so I left.

158
00:06:48,886 --> 00:06:50,409
- Where'd you go?

159
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:53,456
- Just a bar I know.
It's a mile north of the event.

160
00:06:56,546 --> 00:06:58,983
- Hey, Zane's alibi holds.

161
00:06:59,201 --> 00:07:01,290
Got surveillance
from outside the bar.

162
00:07:01,464 --> 00:07:04,206
He leaves six minutes
after the shot was fired.

163
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:05,512
- Okay.

164
00:07:05,729 --> 00:07:07,644
Is that a city bus
coming up 10th Ave

165
00:07:07,645 --> 00:07:09,297
from the direction
of the shooting?

166
00:07:09,298 --> 00:07:10,994
- It is,
which means that it passed

167
00:07:10,995 --> 00:07:12,648
by the area of the shooting
just minutes prior.

168
00:07:12,649 --> 00:07:13,969
- Did you pull the dash cam?

169
00:07:13,970 --> 00:07:15,390
- Mm-hmm,
and look what it found

170
00:07:15,391 --> 00:07:17,141
a few blocks north
of the shooting.

171
00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:19,743
- You run facial rec?

172
00:07:19,961 --> 00:07:22,006
- No luck.
The face isn't visible enough.

173
00:07:22,007 --> 00:07:23,746
- But the figure does match
the description

174
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:26,097
we got from the witness,
minus the tote bag.

175
00:07:26,098 --> 00:07:28,272
- So the shooter must
have ditched the tote bag

176
00:07:28,273 --> 00:07:29,578
between the shooting and here.

177
00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:30,884
- Do you have a map
of the area?

178
00:07:30,885 --> 00:07:31,935
- Yeah.

179
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,501
- Okay, see right there?

180
00:07:38,502 --> 00:07:40,459
That passageway that
the shooter's coming out of,

181
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,677
that's a dead end.

182
00:07:41,678 --> 00:07:43,679
- So the shooter
ducked in and ducked out.

183
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,246
- Call the SRGs.

184
00:07:45,247 --> 00:07:47,897
I'm sure there's a couple
of dumpsters in that alley.

185
00:07:48,990 --> 00:07:50,120
[gunshot]

186
00:07:50,121 --> 00:07:51,470
- The gun was still
in the tote bag,

187
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:54,038
so it wasn't contaminated
with any trash.

188
00:07:54,039 --> 00:07:56,083
- Any prints?
- Nothing on the weapon.

189
00:07:56,084 --> 00:07:59,783
But when we test-fired it,
we found something interesting.

190
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:01,481
See those grooves?

191
00:08:01,655 --> 00:08:03,787
- Yeah. Any match in NIBIN?

192
00:08:04,005 --> 00:08:05,875
- Primer pin markings
on this casing

193
00:08:05,876 --> 00:08:08,225
are an exact match to a bullet
pulled from a convenience store

194
00:08:08,226 --> 00:08:09,606
armed robbery six years ago.

195
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:11,185
- What happened to that gun?

196
00:08:11,186 --> 00:08:12,926
- According to the file,
it was never recovered.

197
00:08:12,927 --> 00:08:14,623
But they did get the shooter.

198
00:08:14,624 --> 00:08:16,254
Got a conviction
based on video.

199
00:08:16,365 --> 00:08:17,584
- Who was the shooter?

200
00:08:17,801 --> 00:08:19,107
- Eric Domingo,

201
00:08:19,324 --> 00:08:20,891
from South Ozone Park.

202
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,024
Some narcotics priors.

203
00:08:23,241 --> 00:08:24,501
- Any idea where he is now?

204
00:08:24,502 --> 00:08:26,113
- Looks like he was up
at Mid-State

205
00:08:26,114 --> 00:08:27,942
but was released a month ago.

206
00:08:28,159 --> 00:08:30,901
[suspenseful music]

207
00:08:31,119 --> 00:08:32,947
? ?

208
00:08:33,164 --> 00:08:35,123
[pounding on door]

209
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:37,081
- NYPD!

210
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:38,735
Domingo, open up!

211
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,003
NYPD!

212
00:08:40,004 --> 00:08:42,521
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, officers!

213
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:43,958
- Stand back! Stand back!

214
00:08:44,175 --> 00:08:45,481
- I-
- You stand back!

215
00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:47,701
- There's nothing
in the house, I swear.

216
00:08:47,702 --> 00:08:49,049
- All right,
check the back room.

217
00:08:49,050 --> 00:08:50,312
Make sure it's clear.

218
00:08:50,313 --> 00:08:51,660
- You're not gonna
find anything.

219
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:52,966
- We're not interested
in your dope.

220
00:08:52,967 --> 00:08:54,597
We wanna talk
about Emily Starr.

221
00:08:54,598 --> 00:08:55,969
- I don't know what
you're talking about.

222
00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:57,579
- That surprises me,
'cause she was killed

223
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:58,841
by the gun you used
in an armed robbery

224
00:08:58,842 --> 00:09:00,016
a few years ago.

225
00:09:00,017 --> 00:09:01,845
- And we also
have a bullet from it

226
00:09:02,063 --> 00:09:05,196
that pierced the skull
of a 34-year-old woman.

227
00:09:05,414 --> 00:09:06,546
- [exhales]

228
00:09:06,763 --> 00:09:08,242
Holy-

229
00:09:08,243 --> 00:09:10,157
- So you wanna tell us where
you were two nights ago,

230
00:09:10,158 --> 00:09:12,029
around 10:45?

231
00:09:12,030 --> 00:09:13,552
- You mean Thursday night?

232
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:14,684
- Yeah.

233
00:09:14,902 --> 00:09:16,643
- That was my recovery meeting.

234
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:19,123
Yeah, yeah,
at St. Mary of Ascension.

235
00:09:19,341 --> 00:09:20,777
Talk to Father Romano.

236
00:09:20,995 --> 00:09:22,257
There were ten of us.

237
00:09:22,258 --> 00:09:24,084
He had us praying,
praying to stay clean.

238
00:09:24,085 --> 00:09:26,043
It was from 9:00 to 11:00.

239
00:09:26,044 --> 00:09:27,957
- So how did your gun
end up as a murder weapon

240
00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:29,089
while you're talking to God?

241
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:30,395
? ?

242
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,049
- Hey, look,

243
00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:35,313
my girl pawned it
while I was in.

244
00:09:35,531 --> 00:09:38,490
She needed the cash.

245
00:09:38,665 --> 00:09:40,101
- Clayton Boyce?

246
00:09:40,318 --> 00:09:41,798
- You're law enforcement?

247
00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:44,627
- That is correct.

248
00:09:44,845 --> 00:09:47,195
We're here about a gun
a New York City pawn shop

249
00:09:47,282 --> 00:09:48,892
resold you a few months ago.

250
00:09:49,110 --> 00:09:51,067
- Sounds like
an illegal firearm

251
00:09:51,068 --> 00:09:54,245
and an illegal transaction,
which I would not partake in.

252
00:09:54,463 --> 00:09:55,855
- That's so funny.

253
00:09:55,856 --> 00:09:57,987
That's exactly what
the pawn shop guy said to me

254
00:09:57,988 --> 00:10:00,207
right before I threatened
to have the ATF shut him down.

255
00:10:00,208 --> 00:10:01,470
- I got rights.

256
00:10:01,471 --> 00:10:02,905
I don't have to speak to you.

257
00:10:02,906 --> 00:10:04,428
- Oh, we got rights too.

258
00:10:04,429 --> 00:10:06,779
We got rights to get
a warrant for all your records,

259
00:10:06,780 --> 00:10:08,651
every transaction.

260
00:10:08,652 --> 00:10:11,653
I mean, if you sold one single
keychain without sales tax,

261
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:14,484
the state has the right to
revoke your business license.

262
00:10:14,485 --> 00:10:16,440
And that's after
we exercise our right

263
00:10:16,441 --> 00:10:18,792
to get your FFL yanked.

264
00:10:19,009 --> 00:10:23,057
- Listen, that.22 revolver
was used in a murder.

265
00:10:23,274 --> 00:10:25,144
If you help us find out
who bought it,

266
00:10:25,145 --> 00:10:27,669
we may just get too busy
chasing down our suspect...

267
00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:28,802
- We get very focused.

268
00:10:28,803 --> 00:10:30,237
- And we just
don't have any time

269
00:10:30,238 --> 00:10:31,761
to look into your bookkeeping.

270
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:35,809
- At the gun shows,
people show up with cash

271
00:10:35,810 --> 00:10:37,984
looking for something
under the table.

272
00:10:37,985 --> 00:10:40,074
Some sellers
unload stuff out back.

273
00:10:40,075 --> 00:10:42,379
- You got a place
and date for this gun show

274
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:44,512
where this.22,
which you know nothing about,

275
00:10:44,513 --> 00:10:46,167
disappeared?

276
00:10:46,384 --> 00:10:48,778
- Falling Rock Gun Show,
ten days ago.

277
00:10:50,388 --> 00:10:52,498
- There's no list
of gun show attendants,

278
00:10:52,499 --> 00:10:54,391
but we managed to get
parking lot video.

279
00:10:54,392 --> 00:10:56,133
- We ran 122 plates.

280
00:10:56,134 --> 00:10:58,918
- Any matches to anyone on
Emily Starr's contact list?

281
00:10:58,919 --> 00:11:00,137
- Nothing.

282
00:11:00,138 --> 00:11:01,834
But three were rental cars,
so we looked

283
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:03,314
at video of those drivers.

284
00:11:03,532 --> 00:11:05,522
Two show their faces
in broad daylight.

285
00:11:05,523 --> 00:11:07,491
But this one, the one with
the hat down, scarf up-

286
00:11:07,492 --> 00:11:08,842
- Trying to hide.

287
00:11:08,843 --> 00:11:10,190
- That car was rented
to a Roger Massey

288
00:11:10,191 --> 00:11:11,571
from Darien, Connecticut-

289
00:11:11,671 --> 00:11:14,238
52, married, works for
Capstone Insurance.

290
00:11:14,456 --> 00:11:17,106
- Why don't you run the
rental plates through the MTA

291
00:11:17,107 --> 00:11:19,199
and see if that car was
anywhere near Manhattan

292
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,890
the night of the murder?
- Mm-hmm.

293
00:11:20,891 --> 00:11:23,072
- And, uh, does this guy
have any link to Emily?

294
00:11:23,073 --> 00:11:25,118
- He's not on her client
or follower list.

295
00:11:25,119 --> 00:11:29,036
- Looks like he came in over
the Triborough at 8:18 p.m.

296
00:11:29,253 --> 00:11:32,169
Went back over the bridge
at 11:52 p.m.

297
00:11:32,387 --> 00:11:34,389
- That's an hour
after the murder.

298
00:11:34,606 --> 00:11:36,434
- Let's call in a warrant.

299
00:11:36,652 --> 00:11:38,610
[tense music]

300
00:11:38,785 --> 00:11:40,177
[knock at door]

301
00:11:40,343 --> 00:11:43,789
- What in the hell
is going on here?

302
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:44,659
- We have a warrant
to search your premises.

303
00:11:44,660 --> 00:11:45,747
Step aside, sir.

304
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:48,010
Thank you.
- Search for what? Why?

305
00:11:48,011 --> 00:11:51,232
- Mr. Massey, your rental car
was in Pennsylvania last week

306
00:11:51,233 --> 00:11:53,712
at a gun show where we believe
you purchased a weapon

307
00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:55,149
used in a recent murder.

308
00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:57,064
- Murder? Pennsylvania?

309
00:11:57,281 --> 00:11:58,629
Well, that's not possible.

310
00:11:58,630 --> 00:12:00,544
My wife was only using
the rental for errands

311
00:12:00,545 --> 00:12:01,545
while hers was in the shop.

312
00:12:01,546 --> 00:12:03,046
Someone else must have used it.

313
00:12:03,157 --> 00:12:04,854
Carol, come down!

314
00:12:07,727 --> 00:12:09,772
They're here about
the rental car.

315
00:12:09,990 --> 00:12:11,251
- Rental car?

316
00:12:11,252 --> 00:12:13,558
- Hey, we found this
in the garage trash,

317
00:12:13,733 --> 00:12:15,952
bagged a few times.

318
00:12:15,953 --> 00:12:17,953
We sprayed luminol.
It's got blood spatter on it.

319
00:12:17,954 --> 00:12:19,129
- Blood?

320
00:12:19,347 --> 00:12:21,784
What in the hell
is going on here?

321
00:12:22,002 --> 00:12:25,309
- Mrs. Massey,
is that your jacket?

322
00:12:25,527 --> 00:12:27,485
- Roger, say nothing.

323
00:12:27,703 --> 00:12:29,095
- What?
- Just say nothing.

324
00:12:29,096 --> 00:12:31,184
- All right, let's go.
We're taking them both in.

325
00:12:31,185 --> 00:12:32,794
- He-he did nothing wrong.
- That's okay. Come on.

326
00:12:32,795 --> 00:12:34,404
We're gonna let
the DA make that call.

327
00:12:34,405 --> 00:12:36,319
- You have the right to remain
silent, do you understand?

328
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,060
Anything you say can
and will be used against you.

329
00:12:38,061 --> 00:12:39,322
Do you understand?
- Roger, it's okay.

330
00:12:39,323 --> 00:12:40,373
Say nothing.

331
00:12:40,542 --> 00:12:41,848
Nothing.

332
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,160
- Neither the wife nor
the husband is talking?

333
00:12:50,161 --> 00:12:52,509
- No, not a peep, and they
both have lawyers on the way.

334
00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:55,340
But I did call the insurance
company where Roger works,

335
00:12:55,470 --> 00:12:57,100
and they say
he was in the office

336
00:12:57,124 --> 00:12:58,733
on the day of the gun show.

337
00:12:58,734 --> 00:13:02,607
Also, there was only one person
in the surveillance video

338
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:05,393
of the rental car,
who matches her build.

339
00:13:05,394 --> 00:13:08,351
All the evidence points to the
wife being a single shooter,

340
00:13:08,352 --> 00:13:10,353
wearing the jacket that was
found at the Massey house

341
00:13:10,354 --> 00:13:11,660
with the victim's blood.

342
00:13:11,661 --> 00:13:13,487
I mean, Carol's DNA
is all over it.

343
00:13:13,488 --> 00:13:15,185
- Why does a suburban wife

344
00:13:15,403 --> 00:13:17,839
execute a 30-something
influencer?

345
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,537
- We pulled the phone records.

346
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:22,975
It seems like Roger called
her twice, five months ago.

347
00:13:22,976 --> 00:13:24,672
And then she stopped
answering his calls.

348
00:13:24,673 --> 00:13:25,892
- What about her?

349
00:13:25,893 --> 00:13:27,849
She have any contact
with the victim?

350
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:29,416
- She reached out a few times
in the weeks before the murder,

351
00:13:29,417 --> 00:13:31,287
but the calls always
went to voicemail.

352
00:13:31,288 --> 00:13:35,553
- So maybe the husband had
an affair with Emily Starr,

353
00:13:35,771 --> 00:13:37,381
and the wife got jealous?

354
00:13:37,599 --> 00:13:39,209
- Motive is iffy here.

355
00:13:40,645 --> 00:13:44,301
- But we can prove that she
bought the gun the week before,

356
00:13:44,302 --> 00:13:45,867
and then she shot the victim
in the back of the head?

357
00:13:45,868 --> 00:13:48,038
- I think any grand jury
in town will say yes.

358
00:13:48,175 --> 00:13:49,654
- So...

359
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:51,221
cut the husband loose,

360
00:13:51,439 --> 00:13:53,093
charge the wife
with murder two.

361
00:13:55,747 --> 00:13:57,749
- So what's the connection

362
00:13:57,924 --> 00:14:00,056
between Carol Massey
and Emily Starr?

363
00:14:00,274 --> 00:14:02,744
'Cause other than some
unanswered phone calls,

364
00:14:02,745 --> 00:14:04,843
I don't see that she sent
any emails to the victim.

365
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:09,239
- No, no, but here's
a flurry of emails

366
00:14:09,457 --> 00:14:12,764
with someone named Lauren Hope
in the month before the murder.

367
00:14:12,939 --> 00:14:15,376
Subject, uh,
"Why won't you listen,"

368
00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:18,422
and "Stop ignoring me."

369
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,164
Email address is
at Hudson University.

370
00:14:21,382 --> 00:14:22,512
- Hmm.

371
00:14:22,513 --> 00:14:25,168
Well, according to
her social media,

372
00:14:25,386 --> 00:14:27,431
Lauren Hope, age 20,

373
00:14:27,432 --> 00:14:29,258
used to live in
Darien, Connecticut,

374
00:14:29,259 --> 00:14:30,913
before she went to Hudson.

375
00:14:31,131 --> 00:14:35,178
Oh, used to be tagged in
her photos as Lauren Massey.

376
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,703
- She's the couple's daughter?

377
00:14:40,270 --> 00:14:42,664
Is there a Lauren Hope
in Emily's records?

378
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:44,796
- Lauren Hope.

379
00:14:44,971 --> 00:14:49,497
Oh, just last year she spent
14 grand on Starr's workshop.

380
00:14:49,714 --> 00:14:51,238
Three-day cleanse.

381
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:54,502
- That is a lot of money
for green juice.

382
00:14:54,719 --> 00:14:57,635
- She also paid weekly rent
to stay at Starr's center

383
00:14:57,853 --> 00:14:59,681
last winter, over the holidays.

384
00:14:59,899 --> 00:15:01,552
Guessing Mom didn't like that.

385
00:15:01,770 --> 00:15:04,033
- This email
to her daughter says,

386
00:15:04,251 --> 00:15:08,211
"Emily Starr only wants
your money,"

387
00:15:08,429 --> 00:15:11,606
and "the woman is dangerous."

388
00:15:11,823 --> 00:15:15,653
So, rebellious kid
changes name,

389
00:15:15,871 --> 00:15:20,310
blows through thousands
on fringe wellness regimen?

390
00:15:20,528 --> 00:15:22,530
- Mom kills to shut it down?

391
00:15:24,401 --> 00:15:27,883
- It's not perfect, but it's
the beginning of a narrative.

392
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:34,977
An illegally purchased handgun
a week before the murder,

393
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:37,806
the victim's blood
on the defendant's jacket,

394
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:41,244
emails detailing
Carol Massey's anger

395
00:15:41,462 --> 00:15:44,172
at her daughter's spending
at Emily Starr's center-

396
00:15:44,334 --> 00:15:47,772
the state has a preponderance
of evidence

397
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:52,603
linking Carol Massey
to this horrific crime...

398
00:15:52,821 --> 00:15:54,605
which ended the life

399
00:15:54,823 --> 00:15:56,390
of an innocent young woman.

400
00:16:01,264 --> 00:16:05,094
- Everything Mr. Price said,
absolutely true.

401
00:16:05,312 --> 00:16:08,054
The evidence against my client
is crystal clear.

402
00:16:08,271 --> 00:16:10,012
What's not clear?

403
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:13,668
Why Carol Massey had to commit
this horrific crime.

404
00:16:13,669 --> 00:16:16,278
Well, I'll tell you-
because Emily Starr is not,

405
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:19,543
as Mr. Price would have you
believe, an innocent woman.

406
00:16:19,761 --> 00:16:23,199
She was instead
a deadly, imminent threat

407
00:16:23,417 --> 00:16:26,159
to the defendant's daughter,
Lauren Massey.

408
00:16:26,376 --> 00:16:29,858
20-year-old Lauren
nearly died under Emily Starr's

409
00:16:30,032 --> 00:16:31,642
so-called care

410
00:16:31,860 --> 00:16:34,210
and would have died

411
00:16:34,428 --> 00:16:36,517
had Carol Massey not acted.

412
00:16:36,734 --> 00:16:38,562
My client only
killed Emily Starr

413
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:41,477
to save her daughter's life.

414
00:16:41,478 --> 00:16:44,133
This was an incontrovertible
defense of others.

415
00:16:44,351 --> 00:16:45,481
- Objection.

416
00:16:45,482 --> 00:16:48,094
Your Honor,
this is unfair surprise.

417
00:16:48,311 --> 00:16:49,878
- Chambers.

418
00:16:50,052 --> 00:16:52,663
- Emily Starr was unarmed
when she was shot.

419
00:16:52,664 --> 00:16:54,534
- We're not saying she was
a threat to Carol Massey.

420
00:16:54,535 --> 00:16:56,405
She was an imminent threat
to Lauren.

421
00:16:56,406 --> 00:16:58,059
- Who was nowhere near
the crime scene.

422
00:16:58,060 --> 00:17:00,845
Your Honor, Lauren Massey
has not responded to us,

423
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,805
but we can confirm
that she was 3 miles

424
00:17:03,806 --> 00:17:05,936
from the shooting that night.
- Is this true?

425
00:17:05,937 --> 00:17:07,416
- It's irrelevant
to our defense.

426
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:08,983
Your Honor,
Lauren Massey suffers from

427
00:17:08,984 --> 00:17:10,986
acute lymphocytic leukemia.

428
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,600
She won't respond to Mr. Price

429
00:17:12,601 --> 00:17:13,814
'cause she was in the hospital,

430
00:17:13,815 --> 00:17:16,209
finally receiving
proper medical care.

431
00:17:16,426 --> 00:17:20,082
- Uh, Your Honor, Section
35.15, New York State Code,

432
00:17:20,083 --> 00:17:22,910
mandates that defense
of others can only be invoked

433
00:17:22,911 --> 00:17:26,915
to stop the use of unlawful
physical force against someone.

434
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:29,047
- Physical harm
was a component.

435
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:31,224
Emily Starr made
Lauren Massey forsake

436
00:17:31,441 --> 00:17:33,001
lifesaving medical treatment.

437
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:34,879
- But her advice
wasn't unlawful,

438
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,620
and the defendant was too far
from her daughter at the time

439
00:17:37,621 --> 00:17:39,311
of the shooting
to possibly meet

440
00:17:39,406 --> 00:17:41,026
the reasonable belief standard

441
00:17:41,103 --> 00:17:43,540
that her daughter's death
was imminent.

442
00:17:43,541 --> 00:17:46,194
- Your Honor, we will present
science to show her death

443
00:17:46,195 --> 00:17:47,413
was imminent.

444
00:17:47,414 --> 00:17:49,546
Due to Emily Starr's
reckless remedies,

445
00:17:49,764 --> 00:17:52,201
Lauren Massey was
on the brink of death

446
00:17:52,419 --> 00:17:54,247
until her mother intervened.

447
00:17:56,423 --> 00:17:58,207
- I'll allow.

448
00:18:00,340 --> 00:18:02,690
- The defense is
totally meritless,

449
00:18:02,907 --> 00:18:06,128
but we need to be ready
for whatever accusations

450
00:18:06,346 --> 00:18:08,826
they throw at the victim.

451
00:18:09,044 --> 00:18:12,178
- So what did Emily Starr
actually say about cancer?

452
00:18:12,395 --> 00:18:13,962
- [sighs]

453
00:18:15,485 --> 00:18:20,316
"Juicing cleanses the body
of toxins and fights disease,"

454
00:18:20,534 --> 00:18:24,668
and "Rebalancing the body's
pH level can kill cancer."

455
00:18:24,886 --> 00:18:27,671
pH level. That is a nice touch.

456
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:31,197
So Emily Starr peddled
in unproven remedies,

457
00:18:31,414 --> 00:18:33,547
and a teenager ended up
dangerously sick.

458
00:18:33,548 --> 00:18:36,766
- Yeah, but Emily didn't use
physical force against Lauren.

459
00:18:36,767 --> 00:18:38,986
It doesn't meet the legal
standard of the defense.

460
00:18:38,987 --> 00:18:41,207
- It may not matter
to the jury.

461
00:18:41,208 --> 00:18:43,121
Defense is gonna have
a field day presenting

462
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:44,819
Emily's homeopathic nonsense.

463
00:18:45,036 --> 00:18:46,906
They will go for
jury nullification

464
00:18:46,951 --> 00:18:51,826
and force us to defend
her pH juice cleanses.

465
00:18:52,043 --> 00:18:54,437
- Nolan, just so you know,

466
00:18:54,655 --> 00:18:57,136
I don't think homeopathy
is nonsense,

467
00:18:57,310 --> 00:18:59,660
and I'm gonna bet
there are a few jury members

468
00:18:59,877 --> 00:19:01,227
who are just like me.

469
00:19:01,444 --> 00:19:04,360
I actually followed
Emily Starr.

470
00:19:04,578 --> 00:19:06,754
You can't just dismiss
an entire field.

471
00:19:06,971 --> 00:19:09,452
- As it pertains to this case,

472
00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:11,715
the defense will paint
Emily Starr

473
00:19:11,933 --> 00:19:13,717
as a deadly
snake oil saleswoman,

474
00:19:13,935 --> 00:19:16,705
and they will argue that
the stakes for Lauren Massey,

475
00:19:16,851 --> 00:19:19,681
who is battling a serious
leukemia, were life and death.

476
00:19:19,682 --> 00:19:21,594
It's not gonna be hard
for the defense

477
00:19:21,595 --> 00:19:24,119
to garner sympathy
for the mom of a cancer victim.

478
00:19:26,077 --> 00:19:27,209
- Okay.

479
00:19:27,427 --> 00:19:29,255
So we remind the jury

480
00:19:29,472 --> 00:19:31,344
that this is about free speech,

481
00:19:31,345 --> 00:19:33,432
that it's about
guarding care options

482
00:19:33,433 --> 00:19:34,825
they may very well want.

483
00:19:35,043 --> 00:19:37,219
We defend Emily's integrity

484
00:19:37,437 --> 00:19:40,266
and we make damn sure
she's sympathetic as well.

485
00:19:43,356 --> 00:19:45,836
- Healing others was
her life's calling.

486
00:19:45,837 --> 00:19:47,446
She wanted people to know
they had choices

487
00:19:47,447 --> 00:19:48,795
outside of the establishment.

488
00:19:48,796 --> 00:19:50,189
- How did she help you?

489
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:51,456
- I was an addict.

490
00:19:51,625 --> 00:19:53,061
Opioids.

491
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:54,675
She walked me through detox,

492
00:19:54,676 --> 00:19:56,585
gave me natural remedies
for the pain,

493
00:19:56,586 --> 00:19:58,632
sat with me
through the worst of it.

494
00:19:58,633 --> 00:20:01,111
- Did Emily ever prevent you
getting a second opinion

495
00:20:01,112 --> 00:20:02,330
from a real doctor?

496
00:20:02,331 --> 00:20:04,321
- No, but I've honestly
been so healthy

497
00:20:04,464 --> 00:20:06,292
it hasn't even crossed my mind.

498
00:20:06,509 --> 00:20:08,816
I owe everything
to her guidance.

499
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:10,296
- Nothing further.

500
00:20:13,386 --> 00:20:16,389
- How much did
Emily's guidance cost?

501
00:20:16,606 --> 00:20:18,042
- I can't say exactly.

502
00:20:18,217 --> 00:20:19,435
- Ballpark.
Last year,

503
00:20:19,653 --> 00:20:21,131
how much did she make?

504
00:20:21,132 --> 00:20:23,438
I mean, you had access
to her business statements.

505
00:20:23,439 --> 00:20:25,920
- It was around 700,000.
- Wow.

506
00:20:25,921 --> 00:20:27,790
- But her company earnings
allowed her

507
00:20:27,791 --> 00:20:30,446
to grow her platform,
reach more people.

508
00:20:30,664 --> 00:20:33,194
- How much money did
Emily make off Lauren Massey,

509
00:20:33,275 --> 00:20:34,711
the defendant's daughter?

510
00:20:34,929 --> 00:20:36,582
- I'm not sure.

511
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:40,804
- Your Honor, I'm handing over
what has been marked exhibit A,

512
00:20:41,022 --> 00:20:44,032
Lauren Massey's payment records
to Starr Serenity Center.

513
00:20:44,765 --> 00:20:47,202
Would you read aloud
the total amount?

514
00:20:47,376 --> 00:20:49,683
- $23,204.

515
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:52,033
- 23,000.

516
00:20:52,034 --> 00:20:54,469
Was that for high-tech
machines, CT scans,

517
00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:56,342
MRIs, cutting-edge medicine?

518
00:20:56,343 --> 00:20:58,734
- She offered a full
homeopathic regimen of juice,

519
00:20:58,735 --> 00:21:00,355
herbal teas, enemas, exercise-

520
00:21:00,563 --> 00:21:03,262
- Were you aware that doctors,
people with actual

521
00:21:03,479 --> 00:21:05,655
medical degrees
who study cancer,

522
00:21:05,873 --> 00:21:09,790
had given Lauren an 85% to 100%
long-term survival rate

523
00:21:09,791 --> 00:21:11,965
if she underwent chemo
and radiation?

524
00:21:11,966 --> 00:21:13,896
But that if her cancer
went untreated

525
00:21:14,011 --> 00:21:16,231
by those tested therapies,

526
00:21:16,405 --> 00:21:17,580
they estimated

527
00:21:17,581 --> 00:21:19,189
that she had only a year
to live?

528
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:20,366
- I don't think-

529
00:21:20,367 --> 00:21:22,410
- Your Honor,
Mr. Sirianni's questions

530
00:21:22,411 --> 00:21:24,194
are outside the scope
of the witness's testimony.

531
00:21:24,195 --> 00:21:25,458
- Withdrawn.

532
00:21:25,675 --> 00:21:27,721
[tense music]

533
00:21:27,938 --> 00:21:29,157
But...

534
00:21:29,331 --> 00:21:31,201
just so I can completely
wrap my head

535
00:21:31,246 --> 00:21:32,378
around the finances,

536
00:21:32,595 --> 00:21:34,380
true or false:

537
00:21:34,597 --> 00:21:36,773
Emily Starr asked Lauren Massey

538
00:21:36,991 --> 00:21:40,081
to pay her $23,000

539
00:21:40,082 --> 00:21:42,038
to be killed slowly
within a year?

540
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:43,737
- Objection.
- Withdrawn.

541
00:21:43,954 --> 00:21:45,086
Nothing further.

542
00:21:45,304 --> 00:21:51,048
? ?

543
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,622
- Get this-
"Influencer's followers

544
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,755
sing her holistic praises."

545
00:22:01,972 --> 00:22:04,714
Emily Starr's subscribers
list is growing.

546
00:22:04,932 --> 00:22:07,717
Her followers are making
TikTok testimonials.

547
00:22:07,935 --> 00:22:10,241
- After the defense
painted her as a crook?

548
00:22:10,416 --> 00:22:12,505
- Guess all press
is good press.

549
00:22:12,506 --> 00:22:14,549
- Not according to
the oncology community.

550
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:16,116
They're up in arms
about all this

551
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:18,032
anti-science wellness stuff.

552
00:22:18,249 --> 00:22:21,601
They have officially
denounced Emily, her center,

553
00:22:21,818 --> 00:22:24,865
and 18,000 other
TikTok influencers

554
00:22:25,082 --> 00:22:27,737
whose cancer cures
have no basis in science.

555
00:22:27,955 --> 00:22:29,565
- 18,000? That's a lot.

556
00:22:29,783 --> 00:22:31,001
- Yeah, it is.

557
00:22:32,742 --> 00:22:35,484
And that could be useful.

558
00:22:41,142 --> 00:22:43,552
- And when did you learn
that Lauren had decided

559
00:22:43,579 --> 00:22:47,017
on Emily Starr's
so-called therapy?

560
00:22:47,235 --> 00:22:50,369
- Lauren missed a follow-up
with her oncologist,

561
00:22:50,586 --> 00:22:52,196
so I called her.

562
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:57,463
She said big business
had caused her cancer.

563
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,640
She didn't want big pharma
to profit off her treatment.

564
00:23:00,641 --> 00:23:02,684
She told us she was
changing her name

565
00:23:02,685 --> 00:23:05,427
to reflect this new outlook-

566
00:23:05,645 --> 00:23:07,603
Lauren Hope.

567
00:23:07,821 --> 00:23:09,751
And, uh, she didn't want
my dangerous

568
00:23:09,823 --> 00:23:11,781
and doom-filled advice.

569
00:23:11,999 --> 00:23:14,654
I was so confused.

570
00:23:14,871 --> 00:23:18,005
And then eventually
we found a credit card bill

571
00:23:18,222 --> 00:23:21,400
for Starr Serenity Center
and figured out

572
00:23:21,574 --> 00:23:23,227
who Emily Starr was.

573
00:23:23,228 --> 00:23:25,185
- And what was the status
of Lauren's cancer

574
00:23:25,186 --> 00:23:26,236
during this time?

575
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:27,927
- We didn't know.

576
00:23:27,928 --> 00:23:31,410
But last June, we got
a phone call from an ambulance.

577
00:23:31,627 --> 00:23:33,586
Lauren had collapsed
in a store.

578
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:36,153
At the hospital
we got her an MRI,

579
00:23:36,371 --> 00:23:40,244
and the cancer,
it was all over her insides.

580
00:23:40,419 --> 00:23:43,596
It was just eating her away.

581
00:23:43,813 --> 00:23:46,523
And we thought this would
snap her back to her senses,

582
00:23:46,642 --> 00:23:51,255
but Emily told her it was
a natural cleansing stage,

583
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:54,607
that what she needed
was rest at the center.

584
00:23:56,217 --> 00:23:59,046
My husband and I had
four different oncologists

585
00:23:59,263 --> 00:24:00,526
look at Lauren's scans,

586
00:24:00,527 --> 00:24:02,178
and they all said
the same thing-

587
00:24:02,179 --> 00:24:04,355
that she would be
dead within months.

588
00:24:04,356 --> 00:24:06,226
- Did you give this
information to Lauren?

589
00:24:06,227 --> 00:24:07,663
- We couldn't.

590
00:24:07,881 --> 00:24:10,187
Emily told her to avoid
upsetting contact.

591
00:24:10,405 --> 00:24:12,059
I couldn't find her
at her dorm.

592
00:24:12,276 --> 00:24:14,686
I didn't know if she was
at the center or on a trip.

593
00:24:14,844 --> 00:24:19,153
All I knew was that
she was gonna die very soon.

594
00:24:22,896 --> 00:24:24,288
- Nothing further.

595
00:24:27,901 --> 00:24:30,773
- Mrs. Massey, um,

596
00:24:30,991 --> 00:24:32,253
I-

597
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:35,604
I can only imagine
how stressful it is

598
00:24:35,605 --> 00:24:38,127
to have a sick child,
and I applaud your efforts

599
00:24:38,128 --> 00:24:39,564
to get her the best treatment.

600
00:24:39,565 --> 00:24:40,615
- Thank you.

601
00:24:40,783 --> 00:24:43,090
- She had chemo

602
00:24:43,307 --> 00:24:44,831
and radiation, correct?

603
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:46,572
- At the start, yes.

604
00:24:46,789 --> 00:24:50,489
- So your daughter
was well-versed

605
00:24:50,706 --> 00:24:52,839
in the care options available,

606
00:24:53,056 --> 00:24:55,189
and yet she chose
something else.

607
00:24:55,406 --> 00:24:59,280
- No, she was led to believe
that this juice option

608
00:24:59,498 --> 00:25:02,370
could be as effective
as radiation and chemo.

609
00:25:02,544 --> 00:25:05,982
And then Emily told her
that she was better.

610
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,202
That-that's not a choice,
that's a con.

611
00:25:08,419 --> 00:25:11,335
[tense music]

612
00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:15,209
- You admit freely
to shooting Emily Starr?

613
00:25:15,426 --> 00:25:16,732
- I do.

614
00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:19,060
- Right, because of
the dangerous advice

615
00:25:19,126 --> 00:25:20,326
she gave your daughter?

616
00:25:20,475 --> 00:25:21,868
- Yes.

617
00:25:22,085 --> 00:25:25,698
- Did you know, Mrs. Massey,
that just last year,

618
00:25:25,915 --> 00:25:28,744
over 18,000 wellness advisors

619
00:25:28,962 --> 00:25:32,879
recommended alternatives
to chemo and radiation?

620
00:25:33,096 --> 00:25:34,533
Would you kill them all?

621
00:25:36,404 --> 00:25:38,574
- Those thousands
didn't shut my daughter

622
00:25:38,624 --> 00:25:39,973
away from her parents.

623
00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:42,279
- Is that what this is about?

624
00:25:42,497 --> 00:25:45,631
Anger that Emily Starr
assumed your role?

625
00:25:45,848 --> 00:25:47,110
- [scoffs]

626
00:25:47,328 --> 00:25:48,763
No.

627
00:25:48,764 --> 00:25:50,635
- Is that why you could think
of no other remedy

628
00:25:50,636 --> 00:25:51,766
but to shoot her?

629
00:25:51,767 --> 00:25:53,813
- I just went there
to scare her,

630
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:56,685
to beg her
to leave Lauren alone.

631
00:25:56,903 --> 00:25:58,833
- With a loaded gun
that you had driven

632
00:25:58,992 --> 00:26:00,612
across state lines to purchase?

633
00:26:00,776 --> 00:26:03,649
- Lauren needed treatment.
She needed a doctor.

634
00:26:03,866 --> 00:26:05,999
Emily walked away.

635
00:26:06,216 --> 00:26:09,045
Her spell over my daughter,
it needed to be broken.

636
00:26:09,046 --> 00:26:11,525
My baby was gonna die.
I wasn't gonna let that happen.

637
00:26:11,526 --> 00:26:14,181
So, yes, I-I shot her.

638
00:26:14,398 --> 00:26:19,447
? ?

639
00:26:19,621 --> 00:26:21,623
- [sighs]

640
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:24,147
Nothing further.

641
00:26:24,365 --> 00:26:25,714
- Let's adjourn for the day.

642
00:26:27,934 --> 00:26:30,763
- The jury knows
the mom legally overstepped.

643
00:26:30,980 --> 00:26:32,503
- I'm just not sure they care.

644
00:26:32,678 --> 00:26:35,855
She was very sympathetic.

645
00:26:35,856 --> 00:26:37,420
- What,
you're assuming the jury

646
00:26:37,421 --> 00:26:39,379
can't keep their emotions
out of this?

647
00:26:39,380 --> 00:26:42,513
- No, I'm assuming they think
the mother was suffering

648
00:26:42,514 --> 00:26:44,689
some sort of extreme
emotional distress

649
00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:46,560
when she was confronted
with how dangerously

650
00:26:46,561 --> 00:26:48,127
her daughter's cancer
had spread.

651
00:26:48,128 --> 00:26:51,087
The girl was on
the precipice of death.

652
00:26:51,305 --> 00:26:54,351
- Okay, Nolan,
don't go soft on me.

653
00:26:54,569 --> 00:26:56,178
Okay? Not now.

654
00:26:56,179 --> 00:26:58,920
Look, I-I'm truly sorry for
what that woman went through,

655
00:26:58,921 --> 00:27:00,575
but no way did
she lose her cool.

656
00:27:00,749 --> 00:27:02,272
[phone buzzes]

657
00:27:02,490 --> 00:27:04,361
[sighs]
Well,

658
00:27:04,579 --> 00:27:05,629
get ready to contend

659
00:27:05,841 --> 00:27:08,931
with another
sympathetic witness.

660
00:27:09,149 --> 00:27:11,020
Lauren Massey's out
of the hospital.

661
00:27:15,459 --> 00:27:17,329
- Lauren, thank you
for coming today.

662
00:27:17,505 --> 00:27:19,768
I know it took a lot
to get here.

663
00:27:19,986 --> 00:27:21,204
- It did.

664
00:27:21,422 --> 00:27:24,077
But I'm just grateful
to be alive,

665
00:27:24,294 --> 00:27:26,688
and I owe it to my mother.

666
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:29,865
- Lauren, the jury has heard
about Emily Starr's regimen,

667
00:27:29,866 --> 00:27:32,345
and there's been some
speculation as to how and why

668
00:27:32,346 --> 00:27:33,869
you came to follow her advice.

669
00:27:34,087 --> 00:27:36,959
Could you tell us
in your own words?

670
00:27:39,614 --> 00:27:43,226
- I hated being a girl
with a disease.

671
00:27:43,444 --> 00:27:46,403
Emily made it seem like

672
00:27:46,621 --> 00:27:48,928
there was an easy way
to get better.

673
00:27:49,145 --> 00:27:53,759
The things the oncologist
had told me

674
00:27:53,976 --> 00:27:56,500
didn't seem real.

675
00:27:56,675 --> 00:27:58,981
Emily preyed upon that,

676
00:27:59,199 --> 00:28:02,158
then made sure hers was
the only voice I heard.

677
00:28:02,376 --> 00:28:04,857
Told me my cancer was gone.

678
00:28:06,902 --> 00:28:09,209
Do you understand
how crazy that is?

679
00:28:10,906 --> 00:28:12,995
Did you show them the scans

680
00:28:13,213 --> 00:28:14,713
of what was going on inside me,

681
00:28:14,867 --> 00:28:17,696
the scans she prevented me
from seeing?

682
00:28:20,002 --> 00:28:22,701
Thank God for my mother,

683
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:24,746
or I wouldn't be here.

684
00:28:26,487 --> 00:28:27,793
- Thank you, Lauren.

685
00:28:28,010 --> 00:28:29,664
Nothing further.

686
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:40,719
Lauren...

687
00:28:42,329 --> 00:28:44,723
I know you have
been through a lot

688
00:28:44,940 --> 00:28:48,335
and clearly

689
00:28:48,552 --> 00:28:50,467
love your mother very much.

690
00:28:50,685 --> 00:28:52,164
- I do.

691
00:28:52,165 --> 00:28:54,732
- And you express dismay
that Emily had lied to you,

692
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:56,646
so I wanna give you a chance
to be honest.

693
00:28:56,647 --> 00:28:58,954
You were 19 when you decided
to stop chemo

694
00:28:58,955 --> 00:29:00,955
and follow Emily's
health recommendations?

695
00:29:00,956 --> 00:29:02,522
- Yes.

696
00:29:02,523 --> 00:29:06,483
- Of legal age to make medical
decisions for yourself?

697
00:29:06,701 --> 00:29:08,180
- Yes.

698
00:29:08,181 --> 00:29:11,184
- Did Emily ever tell you
she had medical training?

699
00:29:12,315 --> 00:29:13,534
- No.

700
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:17,233
- And you understood
that your doctor

701
00:29:17,451 --> 00:29:21,672
had recommended
chemo and radiation?

702
00:29:21,847 --> 00:29:23,457
- Yes.

703
00:29:23,674 --> 00:29:25,546
[tense music]

704
00:29:25,764 --> 00:29:28,636
- Did Emily Starr

705
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:30,551
ever lock you in a room?

706
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:36,252
- No, but she restrained me

707
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:38,037
psychologically.

708
00:29:38,254 --> 00:29:41,257
Told me to cut ties
with anyone negative-

709
00:29:41,475 --> 00:29:44,130
my parents, my doctor.

710
00:29:44,347 --> 00:29:48,743
She said their fearmongering
would make my cancer worse.

711
00:29:48,917 --> 00:29:52,399
- And you believed her?

712
00:29:52,616 --> 00:29:55,402
? ?

713
00:29:55,619 --> 00:29:57,404
- When you're sick,

714
00:29:57,621 --> 00:30:01,408
you want it to go away
so badly.

715
00:30:02,713 --> 00:30:04,280
Any liar can own you.

716
00:30:06,456 --> 00:30:09,938
My actual doctor,
he's not allowed to lie.

717
00:30:10,156 --> 00:30:11,810
You all won't let him.

718
00:30:11,984 --> 00:30:14,987
He had to tell me the treatment
was going to be awful.

719
00:30:17,728 --> 00:30:21,254
Why was Emily allowed
to say anything?

720
00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:25,911
It almost cost me my life.

721
00:30:27,956 --> 00:30:31,917
I'm only better now because
I finally saw the MRIs.

722
00:30:32,134 --> 00:30:34,528
I saw proof that
my cancer had gotten worse

723
00:30:34,745 --> 00:30:37,574
under Emily's care.

724
00:30:37,792 --> 00:30:39,925
In all of this,

725
00:30:40,142 --> 00:30:42,188
my mother was
the only person

726
00:30:42,405 --> 00:30:45,234
willing to fight for me,

727
00:30:45,452 --> 00:30:47,280
to save me.

728
00:30:49,021 --> 00:30:51,588
Please,

729
00:30:51,806 --> 00:30:53,852
don't punish her.

730
00:30:56,158 --> 00:30:57,208
[sniffles]

731
00:30:57,333 --> 00:31:01,120
? ?

732
00:31:01,337 --> 00:31:03,122
- Nothing further.

733
00:31:03,339 --> 00:31:08,649
? ?

734
00:31:18,528 --> 00:31:21,053
- Tough witness.

735
00:31:21,270 --> 00:31:24,317
- Push too hard
and it backfires.

736
00:31:24,534 --> 00:31:27,233
I can tell the jury
feels really sorry

737
00:31:27,450 --> 00:31:29,322
for the daughter and the mom.

738
00:31:29,539 --> 00:31:31,759
[sighs] And frankly, Sam, I'm-

739
00:31:31,933 --> 00:31:34,109
I'm feeling it myself.

740
00:31:34,327 --> 00:31:36,503
- It doesn't justify murder.

741
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,985
- A TikTok star convincing
a teenager with cancer

742
00:31:40,202 --> 00:31:42,857
to forgo life-saving treatment,
that is bad enough.

743
00:31:42,858 --> 00:31:45,032
But preventing the girl
from receiving

744
00:31:45,033 --> 00:31:47,905
critical medical information
from an actual oncologist

745
00:31:47,906 --> 00:31:49,255
after she collapsed?

746
00:31:49,472 --> 00:31:51,910
- All she did was tell Lauren
to stay off email.

747
00:31:52,127 --> 00:31:54,477
- And to avoid speaking
with her parents.

748
00:31:54,695 --> 00:31:57,002
That's not free speech, Sam.
That's coercion.

749
00:31:57,003 --> 00:31:58,916
Emily Starr assumed
a duty of care

750
00:31:58,917 --> 00:32:01,920
when Lauren was at her center,
and she violated it.

751
00:32:01,921 --> 00:32:05,009
- So what, now you're saying
that the mother was reasonable

752
00:32:05,010 --> 00:32:06,924
in believing that
this was the only way

753
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,229
to save her daughter's life?

754
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:10,319
- Reasonable? No.

755
00:32:10,537 --> 00:32:12,931
Understandable?

756
00:32:13,148 --> 00:32:16,630
- Nolan, what happened to
"the law is your compass"?

757
00:32:16,847 --> 00:32:18,501
- [sighs]

758
00:32:20,590 --> 00:32:24,072
My mother died
of breast cancer.

759
00:32:24,290 --> 00:32:26,596
- I'm so sorry. I-

760
00:32:26,814 --> 00:32:29,643
- The treatments,
they were pretty brutal.

761
00:32:29,860 --> 00:32:31,819
She'd always been high-octane.

762
00:32:31,993 --> 00:32:33,043
She was a lawyer.

763
00:32:33,081 --> 00:32:35,736
She was a damn good one.

764
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:39,000
She hated being so drained.

765
00:32:39,218 --> 00:32:42,482
And then she started reading
about homeopathic treatments.

766
00:32:44,049 --> 00:32:46,159
Eventually, she fell
for the hope pitch,

767
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:47,573
stopped chemo for a few months.

768
00:32:47,574 --> 00:32:49,864
She got her hair back.
She got some energy back.

769
00:32:50,011 --> 00:32:53,493
But that cost her...

770
00:32:53,710 --> 00:32:56,583
a year of her life.

771
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,674
When you are that sick,
you are vulnerable.

772
00:33:02,284 --> 00:33:03,633
- Yeah.

773
00:33:05,113 --> 00:33:07,159
But we need to get
justice for Emily.

774
00:33:07,376 --> 00:33:08,987
- Yes.

775
00:33:09,204 --> 00:33:13,556
But man one and 15 years
is not a terrible outcome.

776
00:33:13,774 --> 00:33:16,364
- I'm not sure it's the just
or appropriate outcome.

777
00:33:16,365 --> 00:33:18,691
- Well, you wanna risk
losing this whole thing

778
00:33:18,692 --> 00:33:20,694
to jury nullification?

779
00:33:25,394 --> 00:33:28,049
- I'll set up a meeting.

780
00:33:28,267 --> 00:33:30,921
- Man one is
a good offer, Carol.

781
00:33:32,488 --> 00:33:34,751
- But it's an admission
of guilt.

782
00:33:34,969 --> 00:33:37,015
- You killed an unarmed woman.

783
00:33:37,232 --> 00:33:39,408
- I saved my daughter's life.

784
00:33:39,626 --> 00:33:41,019
And I stand by the fact that

785
00:33:41,236 --> 00:33:43,586
Emily Starr's actions
were deadly.

786
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:45,458
- Mrs. Massey, I am sympathetic

787
00:33:45,675 --> 00:33:48,026
to the horrible situation
that you faced.

788
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,030
That's why we're here with
an offer, a very fair offer.

789
00:33:52,247 --> 00:33:54,032
If you decline,

790
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:55,771
the charge goes back
to murder two,

791
00:33:55,772 --> 00:33:59,472
which carries a minimum
sentence of 15 years to life.

792
00:34:01,952 --> 00:34:03,519
- Think about Lauren.

793
00:34:03,737 --> 00:34:05,260
Your daughter needs you.

794
00:34:05,261 --> 00:34:06,913
- I am thinking about Lauren,

795
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:08,785
and all the other Laurens
out there.

796
00:34:09,003 --> 00:34:11,440
Emily Starr's
business is booming.

797
00:34:11,658 --> 00:34:12,708
This is dangerous.

798
00:34:12,876 --> 00:34:14,316
People need to know the truth.

799
00:34:15,618 --> 00:34:18,056
- Seems like
a pretty emphatic no.

800
00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:19,280
Come on.

801
00:34:23,670 --> 00:34:25,498
- [sighs]

802
00:34:28,588 --> 00:34:33,071
The verdict is
a toss-up at best.

803
00:34:33,245 --> 00:34:35,475
I feel sorry for her,
but I don't want anyone

804
00:34:35,638 --> 00:34:38,076
to walk for a crime like this.

805
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:41,862
- If the jury is leaning
into sympathy and emotion,

806
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,130
let's play the game.

807
00:34:43,342 --> 00:34:44,778
- Meaning?

808
00:34:44,779 --> 00:34:46,996
- Emily had battled
cancer herself, right?

809
00:34:46,997 --> 00:34:49,913
She went through
the same fear, same struggle.

810
00:34:50,088 --> 00:34:51,958
- You wanna call
a rebuttal witness?

811
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:54,129
- Someone to remind the jury
that Emily had

812
00:34:54,135 --> 00:34:57,921
legitimate personal reasons for
her unusual recommendations,

813
00:34:58,096 --> 00:34:59,923
that it wasn't about greed.

814
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:03,101
It was about choices
that worked for her.

815
00:35:03,318 --> 00:35:06,669
- In her book, Emily writes
about her cancer support group

816
00:35:06,887 --> 00:35:08,845
back in Pennsylvania.

817
00:35:09,063 --> 00:35:10,630
- I'll find them.

818
00:35:14,677 --> 00:35:17,027
- I heard about the court case.

819
00:35:17,202 --> 00:35:20,161
I've just been too busy
to follow it all.

820
00:35:20,379 --> 00:35:21,814
- Oh.

821
00:35:21,815 --> 00:35:24,644
I appreciate you taking
the time to meet with me.

822
00:35:24,861 --> 00:35:28,474
We're trying to paint
a full picture of Emily.

823
00:35:28,691 --> 00:35:31,259
It would be really useful
to hear about her

824
00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:33,434
back when she joined
your support group.

825
00:35:33,435 --> 00:35:37,831
- Well, Emily, um...

826
00:35:38,048 --> 00:35:39,876
bundle of energy
and positivity.

827
00:35:40,094 --> 00:35:43,489
[chuckles] It was really
inspiring at first.

828
00:35:43,706 --> 00:35:46,579
You know, a lot of us
were battling depression,

829
00:35:46,796 --> 00:35:48,842
struggling with our families.

830
00:35:49,059 --> 00:35:51,758
I had just lost
my consulting job

831
00:35:51,975 --> 00:35:55,240
because I'd taken so much time
off for treatments.

832
00:35:55,457 --> 00:35:57,198
Couldn't stay on my feet.

833
00:35:57,416 --> 00:35:59,157
[breathes deeply]

834
00:35:59,374 --> 00:36:01,184
Emily got me
feeling hopeful again.

835
00:36:01,246 --> 00:36:05,815
- You said it was, uh,
inspiring at first.

836
00:36:06,033 --> 00:36:07,339
Did something change?

837
00:36:07,556 --> 00:36:09,776
- It's just...

838
00:36:09,993 --> 00:36:12,463
we'd all jumped in,
drinking her teas and juices

839
00:36:12,648 --> 00:36:14,433
but also doing our treatments.

840
00:36:14,650 --> 00:36:18,654
We felt a little better,
but Emily-

841
00:36:18,872 --> 00:36:20,178
she had adenocarcinoma.

842
00:36:20,395 --> 00:36:21,445
- Stomach cancer.

843
00:36:21,570 --> 00:36:22,702
- It's brutal.

844
00:36:22,919 --> 00:36:25,531
But she never had
any weight loss,

845
00:36:25,748 --> 00:36:27,010
no abdominal pain,

846
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:29,448
never even got tired.

847
00:36:29,665 --> 00:36:33,582
I mean, Emily Starr
never did any wrong by me,

848
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,585
but don't you think
that's strange?

849
00:36:36,803 --> 00:36:40,415
[ominous music]

850
00:36:40,633 --> 00:36:41,720
- Nope.

851
00:36:41,721 --> 00:36:43,462
No evidence
of any tumor tissue,

852
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,489
and not a single
microscopic trace

853
00:36:45,507 --> 00:36:47,292
of a cancerous cell
in her body.

854
00:36:47,509 --> 00:36:48,728
- And the stomach?

855
00:36:48,945 --> 00:36:50,382
- Was in excellent shape.

856
00:36:50,383 --> 00:36:52,339
You get a chance to talk
to her diagnosing doctor?

857
00:36:52,340 --> 00:36:55,561
- No hospital within 200 miles
of Emily's hometown,

858
00:36:55,562 --> 00:36:58,084
where she says she was
diagnosed with cancer,

859
00:36:58,085 --> 00:37:00,914
has a record of ever
admitting her for anything.

860
00:37:01,131 --> 00:37:04,222
- Well, then I'm gonna say
she didn't beat cancer.

861
00:37:04,439 --> 00:37:05,919
She never had it.

862
00:37:06,136 --> 00:37:08,487
? ?

863
00:37:08,704 --> 00:37:10,358
- Thank you.
- Thanks.

864
00:37:10,576 --> 00:37:16,495
? ?

865
00:37:16,712 --> 00:37:20,847
Emily's whole
foundational story was a lie?

866
00:37:23,241 --> 00:37:25,155
Jury is gonna loathe her,

867
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:27,680
and quite possibly
let the mom walk.

868
00:37:27,897 --> 00:37:30,465
- Wait, why does
the jury need to know?

869
00:37:30,683 --> 00:37:32,772
This doesn't meet
the Brady standard.

870
00:37:32,773 --> 00:37:35,556
- Sam, we've been in court
defending Emily's right

871
00:37:35,557 --> 00:37:38,125
to share her theory
of self-healing.

872
00:37:38,126 --> 00:37:40,126
- But it isn't exculpatory,
and it sure as hell

873
00:37:40,127 --> 00:37:42,084
doesn't give the mom
the right to gun her down.

874
00:37:42,085 --> 00:37:43,913
- No, of course it doesn't.

875
00:37:44,131 --> 00:37:46,481
But it does show that
Carol Massey's mistrust

876
00:37:46,482 --> 00:37:48,265
was warranted,
that she was right to think

877
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:49,876
that she was full of crap.

878
00:37:50,093 --> 00:37:52,803
And that, in my opinion,
is favorable to the defense,

879
00:37:52,835 --> 00:37:56,143
and quite frankly,
the jury should know this.

880
00:37:56,317 --> 00:37:58,607
And so should her followers
sitting in court.

881
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:00,800
- Nolan, like you always say,

882
00:38:01,017 --> 00:38:03,455
our job is to follow the law.

883
00:38:03,672 --> 00:38:05,587
And in my opinion,
this information

884
00:38:05,805 --> 00:38:07,915
is irrelevant
to Carol Massey's defense.

885
00:38:07,937 --> 00:38:10,767
It has nothing to do with
her daughter's imminent death.

886
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:15,205
- So you think
we should just sit on it?

887
00:38:15,380 --> 00:38:16,430
- Yes.

888
00:38:16,511 --> 00:38:19,079
[tense music]

889
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:20,820
We have to.

890
00:38:21,037 --> 00:38:26,913
? ?

891
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:30,786
- One thing is clear-

892
00:38:31,004 --> 00:38:34,181
Carol Massey
killed Emily Starr.

893
00:38:34,355 --> 00:38:38,228
And despite her extensive
efforts to get away with it,

894
00:38:38,403 --> 00:38:39,794
she was caught.

895
00:38:39,795 --> 00:38:41,753
Once caught, she couldn't
contest the evidence,

896
00:38:41,754 --> 00:38:43,582
so she told you

897
00:38:43,799 --> 00:38:46,324
she had to do it
because Emily Starr

898
00:38:46,498 --> 00:38:48,848
was about to kill her daughter.

899
00:38:49,065 --> 00:38:52,852
This young wellness
influencer's

900
00:38:53,069 --> 00:38:57,247
unconventional ideas were,
according to Carol Massey,

901
00:38:57,422 --> 00:38:59,162
tantamount to homicide.

902
00:38:59,163 --> 00:39:01,338
Fortunately for you,
she's made your job easy

903
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:04,472
because the law
is crystal clear

904
00:39:04,690 --> 00:39:08,084
about what it considers
a legitimate defense of others.

905
00:39:08,302 --> 00:39:12,262
The harm averted
must be unlawful

906
00:39:12,437 --> 00:39:14,874
and imminent.

907
00:39:15,091 --> 00:39:18,617
In this case,
neither standard was met.

908
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:22,098
The defense called
no expert to testify

909
00:39:22,316 --> 00:39:25,580
that Lauren was gonna die
that night, or even that week.

910
00:39:25,798 --> 00:39:27,365
More important,

911
00:39:27,539 --> 00:39:29,976
Emily broke no laws

912
00:39:30,193 --> 00:39:31,891
in advising Lauren.

913
00:39:32,108 --> 00:39:34,981
In fact, for seven years
as an active influencer,

914
00:39:35,198 --> 00:39:38,328
not a single civil or criminal
charge was brought against her.

915
00:39:39,812 --> 00:39:43,598
You wanna know what unlawful
physical force looks like?

916
00:39:43,816 --> 00:39:45,208
It's this.

917
00:39:45,383 --> 00:39:48,734
[tense music]

918
00:39:48,735 --> 00:39:51,475
That is the person who needed
protecting that night-

919
00:39:51,476 --> 00:39:54,566
a young woman walking home
from her own party

920
00:39:54,783 --> 00:39:57,873
when a gun was put to her head.

921
00:39:58,091 --> 00:40:00,501
And none of us could
offer her that protection,

922
00:40:00,615 --> 00:40:02,791
but we can

923
00:40:03,009 --> 00:40:06,839
offer her justice.

924
00:40:07,056 --> 00:40:10,146
It's okay to empathize and

925
00:40:10,364 --> 00:40:12,975
to sympathize
with Carol Massey.

926
00:40:13,193 --> 00:40:14,847
I do.

00:40:15,064 --> 00:40:19,199

get away with murder.

On the count of murder
in the second degree,

we find the defendant...
