Cassius:
What's up, fellas?

This was a premeditated assault
on Mr. Dawkins.

In the future,
when Dawkins starts

to throw his weight around,
I expect you to come to me.

Hi. I'm here to see Billy.
He wrote me about a case.

The election's
in six weeks.

You need to hit Maskins.

I got the case.

Mr. Barton?
I'm an attorney.

I'm the reason

[ Sighs ]

You're right.

I'm not doing this

But are those

than a man trying
to get his way to freedom?

Our interests
are aligned, Easley.

No one can understand
what you're going through

better than I can.

I asked around a bit.

People say
some of your "clients"

end up on the wrong side
of it,

'cause your oath is not
as strong as your agenda.

Look, that was one time.

I was desperate.

I did something

Why not?

'Cause I learned
my lesson.

The hard way.

♪♪

Give us
two hours in a room.

See how you feel.

What you got to lose?

♪♪

So, here's what we have
against us.

The Kellys
were your employers.

You had easy access
and keys to the house,

and there was no sign
of a break‐in.

Neighbors saw
a workman's van like yours

parked down the street
the night of the crime.

Both you and Carlos were having
money problems at the time,

and your only alibi
for that night was each other.

More painful, a neighbor
heard you and Mr. Kelly arguing

three weeks
before the murders.

And most importantly,
the duct tape that was used

to bind the victims
came from your toolbox.

And Carlos'
unusual knife ‐‐

the one they say made
the signature slashing wounds ‐‐

was missing, and he
couldn't account for it.

I thought you were trying to
convince me we had a chance.

Just laying out all
the problems so we can
see how to attack 'em.

Knife and the duct tape ‐‐
that's what gotcha.

I told my other lawyers ‐‐
anyone could have used the tape.

Anybody could've grabbed
that knife from Carlos' toolbox.

They were just lying there
in the garage.

You're right.

And that was the basis
of their rush to judgment.

We'll probably never know
about that knife,

but that duct tape
could be your salvation,

because they never
DNA‐tested it.

Back then, they just
didn't do it that much.

But tape is sticky,
and DNA lasts,

so they test it now
and they find a match

with someone else
in the FBI database...

that's powerful.

But we can't win
the motion

without other
substantiating evidence.

That wasn't presented
at either your original trial

or in the appeal.

[ Scoffs ] That sounds
like a tall order.

It would be.

If we didn't have
all this.

This is probably gonna
be hard for you to swallow,

but I got all this
from Billy Sprite.

His widow, actually.

That man.

I know he went hard on you
during the investigation,

but it turns out that
he was just a foot soldier.

And he was having doubts.

Yeah, not soon enough.

True.

But when Carlos
killed himself in prison,

Billy tried
to undo it all.

Look, his theory was that
this wasn't a one‐time deal ‐‐

that the guys
who killed the Kellys

were desperate tweakers

who must have robbed houses
looking for cash.

They would have hit anyplace
that looked like an easy target.

He had a list.

189 home invasions
all over Nassau

and Suffolk County
between '95 and '98.

He was looking
for a similar M. O.

Got through a little more
than half before he got sick.

How long that take him?

Looks like
about four years.

[ Sighs ] So I got
another four years

to wait for you to go through
the rest of them?

Billy was muddling through
entire case files,

hundreds of pages long.

In some cases, he was
banging on victims' doors,

trying to re‐interview them.

We're not wasting
our time with that.

Then how you gonna do it?

When Billy died, the police logs
of those counties

weren't really computerized,
not the way you'd expect.

Now I can get
a quick synopsis

of every crime
he was trying to look at.

Plus, we're expanding our search
to neighboring counties.

So you and I will go through
old statements from the police,

all the facts you can remember
from back then,

while Henry runs down
all these old cases

and tries to figure out
who really did this.

Or at least create
the reasonable doubt you need.

[ Sighs ]

All this ju‐‐ just to get
that duct tape tested?

A positive hit on someone else
can get you a retrial.

It might even
get you out of here

without having to
go through all that.

And if there's no hit?

Cross that bridge.

This is the play.

[ Sighs ]

It looks...kind of
like Christmas morning.

Shouldn't have to be a holiday
for them to have access

to the phones.

Guards I spoke to seemed happy
to be ordered to do their jobs.

How long do you think
the C. O. union would take

to process a complaint
against Foster?

It's not like we have anything
concrete that he's dealing.

I'm talking about his perjury
during the hearing.
Mom!

I don't know.
8, 10 weeks?

But he's a legacy. They're not
just gonna roll over for us.

Mom, you said you wouldn't
be on the phone so much!

Do you need to go?
No, hold on, hold on.

Zoe, I just need a minute.

Well, we have to

What he did for Dawkins
was so brazen.

Now, Ms. Fernandez,

do you happen to remember what
they used to cut the tape with?

I could never forget that.

Could you tell us, please?

This strange knife.

Was there anything specific

It was curved,

Now,
this is a photograph

used by prosecution
in the Easley Barton trial

to prove that Carlos had
a Filipino karambit knife.

Now, does this look like
the same knife to you?

I‐I can't say that
it's the actual knife,

but it looks
exactly like that.

Now, given
Ms. Fernandez's testimony,

the court should now
consider the possibility

that Carlos was
telling the truth in 1997.

That he didn't know
where his knife was,

because it had been
stolen by the same men
who killed the Kellys.

That they had
kept the knife

and used it to kill
Ms. Fernandez's husband,

duplicating
the original crime.

Megalos: The People
request a continuance

to determine the brand
of this knife

and to ascertain how many
were manufactured

during that time period.

Certainly, the popularity
of the knife would be relevant

in determining the merit
of Mr. Wallace's suppositions.

I'm sure the People
would like nothing more

than to take several months to
undertake a study of this kind,

but my client has been
waiting 23 years.

Now, whatever your ruling
with regard to that,

Ms. Fernandez's testimony should
at least persuade the court

to order a DNA test

on the duct tape
used on the Kellys.
