In the criminal justice system,

sexually-based offenses
are considered especially heinous.

In New York City,

the dedicated detectives who investigate
these vicious felonies are members

of an elite squad known
as The Special Victims Unit.

These are their stories.

What the hell is going on in there?
Oh, jeez!

Let's get out of here!

Wait!

You all right?

Help me, help me!

Did those boys hurt you?

They raped me!
Help me.

Help.

Jamie, my name is Olivia.
I'm a police officer.

I'm here to help you.

Take a breath, calm down.

Nobody is gonna hurt you anymore.

Okay, Jamie, do you recognize
the boys that did this to you?

Okay, I need you
to tell me their names. / No.

Listen, Jamie, don't be scared.
I know this is hard, okay?

But I promise you I'm gonna
help you get through this.

What are their names?

- Danny and Cameron.
- Okay.

Thou hast hit it.

Come sit on me.

Asses are made to bear
and so are you.

Women are made to bear,
and so are you.

Danny Morrison, Cameron Shaw.
Come with us, please.

Can it wait till after rehearsal?
We open next week.

Show's over.

Is something wrong?

We heard the reviews
for your last performance.

In the boys' room.

ORIGINAL AIR DATE ON NBC: 2006/05/16
DVDrip Sync by JEREMY 2009

I gave her valium
to calm her down.

Anything on the exam?

Vaginal trauma,
scratches to the breast and torso.

- And copious fluids.
- Consistent with multiple assailants.

- Are the parents here?
- Flying back from Prague.

Dad's an executive
with the Philharmonic.

Mom's a cellist.

That's a hell of a thing
to come home to.

I was heading into the bathroom
to change for play practice.

And I saw Danny and Cameron in the hall.

Okay, did you know these guys?

During the show,
we've hung out a couple times.

So then what happened?

Just as I was heading
into the bathroom...

I felt someone
grab me from behind.

It was Danny and Cameron.

First I thought they were
joking around, but...

they wouldn't let go.

And they dragged me
into the boys' bathroom.

We were just having some fun.

You call that having fun, huh?

Everyone's doing it.
It's no big deal.

It is to Jamie.

No way.

Hooking up in school's a rush.
She was into it.

They pushed me into a stall.

They pulled me down.

And they pinned my back to the floor.

Did you scream for help?

I couldn't breathe.

They were both on top of me.

I felt like I was drowning.

It's not like anyone got hurt.

It's just for laughs.

Was Jamie laughing while you
and cameron were raping her?

Jamie said we raped her?

- She's in the hospital right now.
- Get out.

Me, Danny, and Jamie,
we're all friends.

You got a funny way of showing it.

They pulled up my skirt.

And they...

started taking turns.

- I was begging them to stop.
- But they wouldn't.

They just kept laughing, like,
like it was a game.

We scored five points each.

What kind of scoring system is that?

You get one point for oral,
two for intercourse, three for group.

The more public the hookup,
the more points.

So you're saying
she asked to be raped.

Jamie came to us for the three-way!

She set the time and the place.
You gotta believe me.

Janitor said you guys jammed out of there
like your asses were on fire.

We didn't wanna get busted.

A couple of kids got nailed
for hooking up in the library.

So we took off.

I figured Jamie was right behind us.

Well, she stayed
in that stall, Danny.

Half naked, crying.

Now, why would she do that
if this was all fun and games?

I don't know.

But Cameron and I didn't rape her.

Jamie was with us
because she wanted to be.

- Take off your clothes.
- Why?

Because you're wearing evidence.

Put these on.

- How's Jamie Hoskins?
- Sedated.

The physical exam supports her story.

You talk to the boys?

The boys say the same thing.

Sex was Jamie's idea,

she told them when and where to meet her.

They had time to coordinate
their stories.

Yeah, but, uh, neither of them knew
about the rape accusation

- until we put them in separate rooms.
- Or they pretended not to.

The trauma's real, captain.
I don't think she's lying.

- Well, somebody is.
- Captain, this is Cameron Shaw's father.

Is my boy under arrest?

Not yet.
We're still investigating.

Well, a detective Tutuola said, uh,
a girl accused Cameron of rape.

No, that's not possible.

- I mean, he's a good kid, he...
- We have a victim who claims

that your son forced himself upon her
in the school bathroom.

Look, I work two jobs
to send him to that school.

He's got a scholarship to Cornell.

He's the first in our family
to go to college.

This could ruin Cameron's life.

You can see your son now, Mr. Shaw.

Dad.

Let's make damn sure what happened
before we put these boys in the system.

LANCHESTER PREPARATORY
318 EAST 82ND STREET
MONDAY, MARCH 13

Danny Morrison and Cameron Shaw
are both smart, motivated students.

Boys made it sound like
it was some kind of game.

Disturbing, but true.

And we've caught kids
in the auditorium,

even in the cafeteria kitchen.

And it's not just the kids.

Two grade school teachers in Pennsylvania
were caught having sex in a classroom

while another teacher guarded the door.

Yeah, we get reports every week
that a teacher's having sex with a student.

It's a different world.
Kids are starting younger, going further.

The parents have no idea
what's happening.

Our senior film class made a documentary
called the new hookup.

It's quite an eye-opener.

When I hook up with a guy,
we'll do everything.

I can't get into
the whole dating thing, though.

I can't believe they're
admitting to stuff on camera.

Trust me, it's no different from
what I hear in the halls every day.

There's more.

When I'm with a girl, we usually just
mess around and then play Xbox.

Yeah. It's a great way to
get a bunch of people together.

Makes it easy to hook up three-ways
and group while you're waiting to play.

It's totally casual.

Why go through all the drama
of dating and breaking up

when you can just
get off and then hang out? / Yes!

Jamie and her best friend
are up next.

Having sex just
'cause everyone else is?

It's pretty gross.

I think everyone's just
really scared of getting hurt.

They'll hook up with a complete stranger,
just a casual friend,

instead of someone
they really care about.

But... I think it's worth
waiting for love.

That does not sound like a girl who's
looking for a three-way in the boys' room.

- What's Jamie's friend's name?
- Lesley Sweeny.

She's probably working
in the school bookstore.

I really don't wanna talk about it.

You weren't too shy to talk on that
documentary your classmates made.

But that was different.

These are my friends.

And I don't wanna get them
into any trouble.

Well, Leslie,
they're already in trouble.

Listen, Jamie says
that she was raped.

Cameron and Danny say that she
wanted to have sex with them.

Now, we just need
to find out the truth.

And Dr. Collins says
Jamie's your best friend.

Now, you wanna help her out,
just tell us what you know.

Yesterday, in homeroom...

Jamie told me she decided
to lose her virginity.

- Did she fall in love with someone?
- Yeah.

- Was it Danny or Cameron?
- No.

It was this other guy in our class.
Trevor Olsen.

She wanted him to be her first.

- But he wasn't interested?
- No. He totally is.

It's just that he has this policy.

What policy?

I don't do virgins.
It's nothing personal,

I just don't want the responsibility
of planting the first flag, you know?

- Oh, how noble.
- Ah, it's self-preservation.

I hooked up with this girl freshman year.
She was a virgin.

She thought we were gonna
get married or something. Never again.

Is that why you wouldn't, uh...
hook up with Jamie Hoskins?

Jamie's cool.
Really hot.

I totally wanted to hit that.
But rules are rules.

So is that what you told Jamie?

Yeah, I said I was really into her,

but I couldn't get with her
till she knocked it out a few times.

What'd she say to that?

She said, "Cool.
See you Saturday night."

So she solicited two of her classmates
so a third boy would have sex with her?

It looks that way.

When I was a kid, girls who had sex
were afraid of being called sluts.

Now they're auditioning for the title.

The question is whether a rape
was committed in that bathroom.

Jamie was looking
to lose her virginity.

But it doesn't mean she didn't say no
at some point during the encounter.

Feels like buyer's remorse to me.

Look, I saw her.
The girl had PTSD.

You can't fake that kind of trauma.

She got caught doing it
with two guys in the john.

That's enough to traumatize anybody.

So let's bring them back in
and re-interview them all.

We don't have to.

Security camera in the principal's office
has a clear view of the bathroom.

TARU's enhancing the tape.

Well, a video will tell us who's lying.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
RESPONSE UNIT
TUESDAY, MARCH 14

Okay, so the janitor said he entered
the bathroom around 3:30.

Start the tape at 3:15.

Here's the view from
the principal's office.

Zooming in, zooming in.

Focus.

There's Jamie.
I'll go back.

Just waiting around.

Hanging out in front
of the boys' bathroom.

Here come Danny and Cameron.

You gonna tell me she's
not flirting with them?

That doesn't mean that
she asked to be raped.

She just grabbed his hand. Hold on.

What do you call that?

Leading them on.

Jamie, you said that you were
heading to the girls' bathroom.

Well, someone told me it was out of order,
so I went to the boys' bathroom.

That's not what you said before.

I was freaked out, okay?
I just got raped.

You were flirting with Cameron
and Danny. / I wasn't flirting.

Danny said something funny.
I laughed. He's my friend.

At least, I thought we were friends.

Jamie, you said they dragged you
into the bathroom.

Now, you could see clearly from the tape
that you walked in there on your own.

Look, I asked them to guard me
while I peed, okay?

I don't...
what's the big deal?

- The big deal is that you lied to me.
- They raped me!

They forced me
to have sex with them!

Why don't you believe me?

I want to, Jamie.
I really do.

But you're making it very difficult.

Look, I don't care what you think, okay?
I know what happened.

You're trying to turn this
around and make it my fault?

Well, screw you, okay?
I didn't do anything wrong!

What's the deal with this girl?

- She seems agitated.
- Could she be on drugs?

No, her tox screen came up
negative at the ER.

- Is this post-traumatic stress?
- I don't think so.

Defensiveness and hostility
are not associated with PTSD.

Okay, so then what's going on?

She's caught in a lie, and she's terrified
of the consequences.

Well, we have no proof that she lied
about the actual rape itself.

I think we do.

I processed the rape kit.

Danny and Cameron's DNA match
the sample taken from Jamie Hoskins.

Then I tested the clothes
from all three kids.

The school janitor had just waxed
the bathroom floor prior to the incident.

Danny and Cameron's shirts
had wax residue on the back.

But Jamie Hoskins' blouse didn't.

So Jamie said that the boys
pinned her down on her back

and then took turns on top of her.

That can't be true.
Jamie Hoskins had to be on top. She lied.

What are you gonna do?

Well, the physical trauma and the rape kit
evidence are enough to go to trial.

Wait a minute, Wait a minute,

you're gonna charge Danny and Cameron
when her story's full of holes?

If Jamie sticks to her story,
I still have to prosecute those boys.

Casey, isn't there any way
that we can keep this out of court?

Yeah. Get Jamie to recant.

It's cold in here.

Okay, I'll get them
to turn up the heat.

There we go.

Here, put this on.

What do you want now?

I wanted to apologize
for upsetting you before.

Does that mean you believe me?

It means I believe that you never meant
for any of this to happen.

Jamie, we talked to Trevor Olsen.

He doesn't have
anything to do with this.

Oh, I think he does.

Trevor is my friend.

I know that you like Trevor,
but I gotta tell you, I think his...

priorities are really screwed up.

- How would you know?
- Trust me...

any guy that won't date you
until you lose your virginity

doesn't deserve somebody
as great as you.

You don't get it.

I get that you're a smart, beautiful girl
who was waiting to fall in love.

And then finally,
when you meet the right guy,

he lets you down.

I just wanted him to like me.

I know.

I mean, when...
everyone is doing it,

and it's all anyone
is ever talking about sex.

It's a lot of pressure.

And sometimes that pressure
can lead us to make choices that...

that we wish we hadn't made.

Jamie, did you ask Cameron and Danny
to meet you in the bathroom?

Yes.
��

And did they force you
to have sex with them?

No.
It was all me. It was...

it was all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Am I gonna go to jail?

You're gonna go home
tonight and...

I'll talk to the DA in the morning.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

I know.

You sent her home?

That girl tried
to ruin my son's life.

I understand how you must feel,
Mr. Shaw. / I doubt it.

They're throwing Cameron out of school.

He graduates in five weeks.
He could lose his scholarship.

Your son violated Lanchester
prep's code of conduct

by having sex on school grounds.

Cameron was never in trouble
a day in his life.

It's that damn girl!
She seduced him!

Nobody forced Cameron
into that bathroom.

That girl made false charges
against my son.

That's a crime.
I want her charged.

I'll decide that
after I review the evidence.

We bent over backwards to get the facts
before we arrested your son.

Jamie Hoskins deserves
the same consideration.

Fine.

But if she's not arrested,
you'll read about it in the newspaper.

White girl lies about
being raped by a black boy...

and just walks away.

They'll be all over it.

Well, I guess we know where he stands.

How about you?

He has a point.

Jamie did file a false
report with the police.

Jamie made a mistake,
but she's paying for it.

I mean, she also got
kicked out of school.

Cameron's dad isn't gonna
go away anytime soon,

and Danny Morrison's lawyer
is on my voicemail.

Those boys got themselves expelled.

And as for Jamie,
she lied to us.

It was our time she wasted.

Benson.

Where?

I'm on my way.

Car drove onto the sidewalk,
straight into a bunch of pedestrians.

- How many are injured?
- Nine, one critical.

Driver's over there.

Excuse me.
Jamie?

It's detective Benson.
Can you tell me what happened?

They're trying to kill me.
They're all trying to kill me.

- Nobody's trying to kill you.
- You're lying to me!

- They're all trying to kill me!
- Calm down.

- No, no, please, please!
- Calm down, Jamie.

You have to help me!
Please! Please!

Detective.

The vehicle's trajectory indicates
she swerved to avoid the pedestrians.

- So it was an accident.
- Not exactly.

There are no skid marks
on the street or the sidewalk.

She never hit the brakes
and she wasn't wearing her seatbelt.

She was trying to kill herself.

Skull fracture here.
Put him in trauma two and page neuro.

Busy week for Jamie Hoskins.

How's she doing?

Laceration on her forehead,
minor cuts and bruises.

Her victims weren't so lucky.

Fractured limbs, two concussions,
a crushed pelvis,

and one 14-year-old girl
with massive internal injuries.

One tire of the car rolled over her chest.

She died five minutes ago.

Dad's over there. Mr. Ramirez.

Mr. Ramirez, I'm detective Benson.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Did they catch the guy
who did this to Elena?

Yes, we have the driver in custody.

Was he drinking?

The driver was a teenage girl.

And, uh, no, we don't believe that
she was intoxicated.

Detective, we ran a comprehensive
tox screen on Jamie Hoskins.

- SOP for attempted suicides.
- Did she have drugs in her system?

Only valproate and celexa,
which are used to treat bipolar disorder.

Jamie's bipolar?

The school psychologist
didn't tell me that.

There's a good chance
the school doesn't know.

Jamie's probably being treated
by a private psychiatrist.

Could those medications
have caused the accident? / I doubt it.

Both drugs were present
well below therapeutic levels.

So you're saying that Jamie
hadn't been taking her meds?

Possibly for a week, maybe longer.

Which likely led to a manic
episode and her suicide attempt.

Could a manic episode lead her
to act out sexually?

Hypersexuality is common
among unmedicated bipolars.

Jamie's parents have been
out of the country.

Maybe she stopped taking
her meds when they left.

You can ask them.

They got back this morning.
Sitting over there in the corner.

This just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, Jamie always takes her medication,
ever since she was diagnosed last year.

At the beginning, we counted her pills
to make sure that she was on schedule.

But she's always been
diligent about taking them.

Jamie said that you're both musicians.

Do you travel often?

We used to, but since Jamie's diagnosis,

we make sure that one of us
is always at home with her.

This is the first time
that we've both left her.

So how did she seem before you left?

Any odd behavior or mood swings?

No, she was perfectly fine.

Jamie has seen Dr. Porterman
every week without fail.

She, she told us
everything was under control.

I'd like to talk to Jamie.

Are you going to arrest her?

That's for the DA decide.

The only thing I can tell you
is she might be more sympathetic

if I get Jamie's side of the story.

Why didn't you tell me
you were bipolar?

I didn't want you
to think I was crazy.

You're not crazy, Jamie.
You have an illness.

Just like diabetes or migraine headaches,
you take medication...

- and you get better.
- Yeah, but people treat you differently.

I mean, like my grandma,

I told her and now she looks
at me all funny.

And this kid in my class,
he takes pills,

and now everyone calls him psycho.

Is that why you went off
your medication?

I was feeling fine. I hadn't had
any mood swings in, like, a year.

Did you ever stop to think
that maybe you were feeling fine

because you were taking your medication?

I thought I was cured.

Jamie, didn't your
psychiatrist explain to you

that it's really, really dangerous
to go off your medication?

Yes, but Derek says that's not true.

Derek who?

Derek Lord.

- The rock star?
- Yeah.

He's amazing.

I have all of his CDs,

and I've been to his concert,
like, five times.

Jamie, hold on. I'm sorry.

What does Derek Lord
have to do with any of this?

I was getting ready
for school last week,

and he was being interviewed on TV.

He says you don't need psychiatric drugs
to make you feel better.

How would he know?

He's really smart.

He even has a book, "free yourself."

He says that using psychiatric drugs
is like putting poison inside your body.

And you decided to listen
to Derek Lord...

instead of your psychiatrist?

Yeah, I mean...
it's a really great book.

Changed my life.

A lot of my young fans have been diagnosed
with bogus psychiatric disorders, Jackie,

and then put on dangerous drugs.

Some reviewers, including a number
of doctors and scientists,

have criticized your book
as inaccurate and misinformed.

Trust me, I've done the research.

Shrinks use dangerous,
mind-altering chemicals

to control the brains of innocent people.

Everyone should stop taking these poisons.

There's lives at stake here.

What makes a rock musician
think he's an expert on psychiatry?

That's a good question.

If I could, I'd charge
Derek Lord as a co-defendant.

First Amendment says that he's
got a right to his opinion.

This is one hell of a mess.

Look, I screwed up.

Jamie was upset.
I should have never let her go home.

You had no reason to hold her,

and you couldn't know she'd
steal your parent's car.

She ran down those people
right after we released her.

Makes us look negligent.

The sooner we charge
this girl, the better.

It's not that simple.

Jamie was having
an acute psychotic episode.

Which she suffered after choosing
to stop taking her medication.

We already have one dead girl.

So who benefits from destroying
the life of another?

She's got a point, captain.

What are you suggesting?

Probation with mandatory counseling.

For vehicular manslaughter?

I'm not gonna throw the book at this girl
just to satisfy your bosses downtown.

This wasn't some disturbed
homeless person.

This girl had the best
drugs and treatment available.

Yeah, which her idol
told her to stop taking.

Okay.

This is your call.

You just remember we got two boys

whose lives were ruined
by her false allegations.

A dead girl and half a dozen others
injured when Jamie mowed them down.

Now, you let her walk,
your ass is on the line right next to mine.

Victim sustained multiple abrasions
and contusions from being dragged 30 feet.

Internal injuries include
fractures to the ribs and spine,

liver laceration,
and splenic rupture,

and a skull fracture consistent
with medium velocity motor vehicle impact.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I needed to see the victim.

Everything you need to know
will be in my report.

God, she's so young.

14. Just 2 years younger
than Jamie Hoskins.

Did she suffer?

She was trapped under the car
for more than 20 minutes.

She was conscious most of the time.

Casey...

I thought if I saw her,
it might make it easier.

Make what easier?

Putting a mentally ill girl in prison.

So did it help?

Send me that report.

ARRAIGNMENT
PART 22
FRIDAY, MARCH 17

Jamie Hoskins should be at home
where her parents can supervise her.

We request an ROR release.

The people object, your honor.

My client is not a flight risk,

and her illness requires
specialized treatment and monitoring.

Ms. Novak. / The people will stipulate
to the defendant's release,

- provided she wears an ankle monitor.
- No objection.

We also request a court order
mandating strict compliance

- with the defendant's drug regimen.
- So ordered.

The defendant is released
in her parents' custody until trial.

10-minute recess.

How could you let her go?

I understand you're upset.

But the judge feels Jamie's not dangerous
as long as she stays with her parents,

- she takes her medication.
- This isn't right.

I promise you
she'll get a fair trial.

Not with that guy on their side.

Why are you here?

Mr. Lord wants to support
the Hoskins family

as they fight these unjust causes.

Jamie Hoskins is being framed.

The police and the district
attorney both say she killed...

- Derek Lord.
- In the flesh.

to take dangerous,
mind-altering chemicals.

They're the ones
with the blood on their hands.

Jamie's a victim.

And if her parents will allow it,
I'd like to pay for her defense.

And on behalf of all victims
of psychiatric abuse,

we're gonna win this fight.

So much for a quiet little trial.

Derek Lord's presence in the courtroom

is bound to influence the jury
in Jamie's favor.

Derek Lord is using this girl
to push his anti-psychiatry agenda.

Nuts like this have been around for years.

Maybe there's a reason for that.

Kid doesn't fit the mold,
so he's got LD, ADD, HDD, ADHD.

They can give him powerful drugs
like ritalin, concerta, or aderal.

But there is a huge difference
between over-diagnosis

and telling legitimately sick patients
to abandon lifesaving treatments.

I'm just saying, whatever happened to
them having a lousy day?

I agree with that. It seems like everyone's
a victim of something these days.

But Jamie Hoskins is bipolar.

So that girl should walk
because she got bad advice

from some clown with a microphone
and leather pants? Come on.

Derek Lord is a role model.
Kids look up to him.

He shouldn't go on spouting off
about things that he doesn't understand.

Kids are being bombarded
by thousands of messages every day

telling them to buy everything
from zit cream to potato chips.

They learn to say no.

Yeah, but Jamie isn't an ordinary kid.

Right. She has a very serious illness.

But that shouldn't automatically
excuse her from what she did.

It's easy to judge mental illness

if you've never had
to deal with it yourself.

I'm willing to make a deal.

Jamie pleads guilty
to involuntary manslaughter,

she serves six months
in a psychiatric facility.

You only wanna settle
because you know she's innocent.

Actually, I'm trying to spare
everyone involved further trauma.

Just out of curiosity,
what exactly is your role here, Mr. Lord?

To make sure you don't blame the victim.

If you're truly interested
in avoiding further trauma,

why not simply drop the charges?

I can't do that.

Jamie's actions caused
the death of Elena Ramirez

and severe injury to six others.

Well, maybe we should consider...

No way.
This is a matter of principle.

This is a matter of our daughter's life.

Mr. And Mrs. Hoskins,
as Jamie's parents,

you have the sole power
to negotiate on her behalf.

- This is your decision.
- Mom, please, I trust Derek.

He knows how to handle this.

Ms. Novak, psychiatry
has damaged countless lives.

Elena Ramirez is just the latest victim.

I'm not here to debate the legitimacy
of psychiatric medicine.

But I do think it's unfair to Jamie
to use her trial as a platform

- for your political views.
- They're not just my views.

Libertarians, fundamentalist Christians,
scientologists.

Even practicing psychiatrists.

There are caring people that
have been fighting this battle

ever since German psychiatrists
were convicted of war crimes at Nuremberg.

I can call on any number
of experts to testify

that psychiatry not only helps people,
it saves lives.

Psychiatry is a corrupt
instrument of social control.

No offense, Ms. Novak,
but you're a lawyer.

And you're a rock star,

so you'll understand if I don't
defer to your expertise on the subject.

I'll see you in court.

TRIAL PART 53
TUESDAY, APRIL 11

Dr. Porterman,

can you describe the circumstances under
which Jamie Hoskins became your patient?

She was in a hypo-manic state
after months of debilitating depression.

You diagnosed her with bipolar disorder.

Yes, yes, she presented
all the classic symptoms.

So I prescribed a combination of
valproate, a mood stabilizer,

and an antidepressant.

How would you characterize
Jamie's reaction to these drugs?

As soon as the drugs
were properly titrated,

Jamie's symptoms disappeared.

Now, did Jamie understand how important
it was to faithfully take her medication?

Yes, we devoted an entire
session to it.

I showed her the statistics on relapse,

we talked about how
she would get very sick.

- Jamie understood the risks.
- Thank you.

You said that Jamie understood
the risk of going off her medication.

Did she understand the risk posed
by the medications themselves?

Well, if you're referring
to liver function,

Jamie undergoes periodic blood tests.

Could you describe how valproate works
to relieve Jamie's symptoms?

It aids neuronal transmission by...

And how does it do that?

Well, the exact mechanism is unknown.

So you prescribed a powerful
psychotropic drug to a 16-year-old girl

without knowing how it works?

My job is to diagnose mental illness
and relieve the symptoms. / Fine.

Could you tell the court
what medical tests you used

to diagnose Ms. Hoskins' bipolar illness?

I took a detailed history.

Observed the symptoms.

- We spoke at length about...
- No, what medical tests did you perform?

Blood analysis, X-ray, CAT scan?

No such tests currently exist
to diagnose bipolar illness.

So to review...

there's no medical test to diagnose it,

you're not sure how the drugs
you prescribe affect it,

but you're confident
my client has bipolar illness

and that you've got it under control.

- Objection.
- Withdrawn. Last question.

Did Jamie Hoskins have
a history of violent behavior

prior to taking the psychotropic
drugs you prescribed?

No.

Another victory for modern psychiatry.

The drugs made me feel like
I was living in slow motion.

I had no energy, no emotions.

I just didn't feel like me.

I just wanted to be myself again.

No further questions.

Jamie, why did you see Dr. Porterman
in the first place?

My parents were worried about me.

Were you depressed?

I guess, I don't know.
I mean, I was sleeping a lot.

Messing up in school.

And then what happened?

And then I started to feel a lot better.

I was getting a ton of stuff done,
and I hardly slept at all.

Well, were you worried?

No, I felt great.

I mean, except my parents and some of
my friends said I was talking really fast

and, and losing my temper a lot.

Did these symptoms stop

when you started taking the drugs
prescribed by Dr. Porterman?

I guess. / Then why did you stop
taking your medication?

'Cause I wanted to feel normal again.

Normal?

In the short time you stopped
taking your medication,

you lost your virginity
in the school bathroom,

you falsely accused
two classmates of rape,

and now six people are in the hospital
and a young girl is dead!

Those things were not my fault!

Really?

Then who's to blame?

Them!

Your parents?

Yes, they made me go to Dr. Porterman!

They let him put that stuff in my body!

My parents have ruined my life.

I'm really sorry.

I can't even imagine how difficult
this must be for you.

It's like we don't even know her anymore.

And she's totally infatuated with this guy,

like everything he says is gospel.

I know, and I think he really
believes he's helping her.

At first, we were grateful.

I mean, we could never afford
a lawyer like Mr. Zierko.

But now...

Look, we've been monitoring
Jamie's medication. / Janet!

We have to tell her.
She needs to know.

Know what?

Jamie stopped taking her pills
four days ago.

TRIAL PART 3
TUESDAY, APRIL 11

I've excused the jury
because it's come to my attention

you may not be taking your medication.

I don't need those pills.
They're poison!

Complying with your drug regimen was
a condition of your release, Ms. Hoskins.

If you refuse,
then I am forced to remand you

to the hospital ward
of the juvenile detention facility

where, if necessary, your medication
will be administered by force.

Your honor, the court can't compel
my client to take her medication.

Section 9.0 of the New York
mental hygiene law

allows the government to protect
mentally ill individuals

who pose a threat
to themselves or others.

Ms. Hoskins, will you take
your medication as directed?

You can't make me put
that stuff in my body!

Yes, I can.

- Take the defendant into custody.
- What?

Come on, miss.

No, get your hands off me!

- Stop it!
- Take it easy.

No! Let me go!

- Calm down!
- Let me go!

Stop! Stop!
No, let me go!

Let's get her out.
Come on.

BELLEVUE HOSPITAL
ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRIC WARD
JAMIE HOSKINS' ROOM
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12

They treating you okay in here?

Yeah, the nurse took off the restraints
as soon as the meds kicked in.

Jamie, I'm so sorry that it
came out like this.

You did everything
you could to help me.

Everyone did.

I hurt so many people.

I killed that poor girl.

The nurse told me that you
refused to see your parents.

Jamie, I know that Derek Lord
seems like some sort of hero.

But your parents are the ones
that really love you.

I know.

I can't believe I let Derek convince me
that my parents were trying to hurt me.

It's just after he told me
what his parents did to him.

TRIAL PART 53
THURSDAY, APRIL 13

You were called by the defense
as an expert witness.

Did you study psychiatry in college?

I didn't go to college.

But I read many texts on the subject
and talked to hundreds of people.

Is it true that you opposed
psychiatric care in all forms? / I do.

Is it also true that at the age of 14

you were committed to the Mayview
psychiatric hospital in Rhode island?

Objection.
Mr. Lord is not on trial here.

His views on psychiatry are
part of the record.

The people have a right
to explore their basis.

I'll allow it.

I was committed by my parents
against my will.

They forced you to take drugs,

just like Jamie Hoskins'
parents are forcing her.

That's right.

But it was just drug therapy
that they gave you, was it, Mr. Lord?

No.

What other treatments
were you given at Mayview?

ECT.

Can you please tell the jury
what that stands for?

Electro convulsive therapy.

Also known as electric shock
therapy, isn't that right?

They strap you down
to a special table that flips over.

So that you don't
choke on your own vomit.

Then they inject you
with a muscle relaxant.

Then they tape electrodes
to your forehead,

and then turn up the juice.

When your toe starts twitching,

that means you're having a major convulsion,
which is what they want.

It's what they call "healing."

Why did they perform this procedure?

Because they said I was
psychotic depressive.

And, in fact,

didn't you attempt suicide three weeks
prior to your parents' committing you?

It was a mistake.

You took enough pills
to cause permanent brain damage.

And the cure for that
was for them to pass huge amounts

of electric current through my brain.

ECT fried my memory.

Huge chunks of my childhood gone!

It was painful, dehumanizing torture.

I'll never know how much
damage they did to me.

That sounds like a terrible ordeal.

Tell me.

After you got out of the hospital,
did you ever attempt suicide again?

No.

And now you're a rich, successful
musician with millions of fans.

Isn't it possible that psychiatry
didn't ruin your life...

it saved it?

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
have you reached a decision?

We have, your honor.

On the first count of vehicular
manslaughter in the second degree,

how do you find?

We find the defendant, Jamie Hoskins,

guilty as charged.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
thank you for your service.

The defendant is remanded
pending sentencing.

Court is adjourned.

Mom...

I'm sorry.

I'm going to recommend
that you be sentenced as a juvenile.

So there's a good chance you'll be placed
in a residential psychiatric facility, okay?

Thank you.

- Miss Hoskins?
- It's okay.

Tough case.

Yeah.

I mean, for you.

I met this guy in law school.

He was brilliant and funny.

And we got engaged
during our final year.

- You look happy.
- We were.

So what happened?

Well, Charlie started acting strange.

He became withdrawn, paranoid.

He'd disappear for days at a time.

What was wrong with him?

Schizophrenia.

It was horrible.

And the worst part was
he refused to be treated.

He wouldn't take any medication.

I struck it out for a while,
but in the end,

I couldn't handle it.

I broke off the engagement.

What happened to him?

I don't know.
Last I heard, he was homeless.

Well, you did what you had to do.

You saved yourself.

Yeah, but nobody saved him.
