Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,362 --> 00:00:18,429
Richard. Richard Briggs.
2
00:00:20,834 --> 00:00:22,600
This is for Ella.
3
00:00:35,081 --> 00:00:36,692
Fruit again?
4
00:00:36,716 --> 00:00:37,860
You know,
5
00:00:37,884 --> 00:00:39,528
those come from trees.
6
00:00:39,552 --> 00:00:41,397
Trees live in dirt.
7
00:00:41,421 --> 00:00:44,300
You want to give the boss food
that comes from dirt, go ahead.
8
00:00:44,324 --> 00:00:46,168
But honestly, I think at this
point, the man would appreciate
9
00:00:46,192 --> 00:00:47,837
coffee and a doughnut.
10
00:00:47,861 --> 00:00:49,171
Not funny.
11
00:00:49,195 --> 00:00:51,140
I know I would appreciate
coffee and a doughnut.
12
00:00:51,164 --> 00:00:52,936
I mean, look at this stuff.
13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,944
Quinoa porridge?
14
00:00:54,968 --> 00:00:57,480
Look, I'm all for healthy,
but this stuff will kill you.
15
00:00:57,504 --> 00:00:59,915
You got any food around here
for real people?
16
00:00:59,939 --> 00:01:02,852
Top drawer on your left,
behind the paper towels.
17
00:01:02,876 --> 00:01:04,387
Don't tell anyone.
18
00:01:04,411 --> 00:01:05,855
Don't tell anyone what?
19
00:01:06,091 --> 00:01:09,147
Hallelujah. Mmm.
20
00:01:20,627 --> 00:01:22,524
Damn, I miss her.
21
00:01:22,962 --> 00:01:26,320
Her mom keeps promising to come
by and pick up her things.
22
00:01:27,875 --> 00:01:30,208
I'll make sure and add that to the box.
23
00:01:32,273 --> 00:01:34,583
Anybody hear about that guy who
was gunned down on the sidewalk
24
00:01:34,607 --> 00:01:37,219
in the middle of the day
during a beer run yesterday?
25
00:01:37,243 --> 00:01:38,254
That poor woman.
26
00:01:38,278 --> 00:01:39,889
That poor man.
27
00:01:39,913 --> 00:01:42,091
It happened right around
the corner from where I live.
28
00:01:42,115 --> 00:01:44,794
She just walked up to him,
shot him, point blank range.
29
00:01:44,818 --> 00:01:46,929
Well, no. She didn't just.
30
00:01:46,953 --> 00:01:48,798
The guy raped and killed her daughter.
31
00:01:48,822 --> 00:01:50,533
And believe me, if something
like that ever happens
32
00:01:50,557 --> 00:01:53,258
to my child, I'm gonna want
to do the exact same thing.
33
00:01:53,282 --> 00:01:56,739
Well, wanting is fine.
Doing is a whole other thing.
34
00:01:56,763 --> 00:01:58,335
There are laws in this country.
35
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:00,643
Yeah, well, obviously the law didn't work
36
00:02:00,667 --> 00:02:02,478
for the woman who lost her daughter.
37
00:02:02,502 --> 00:02:04,513
I mean, she was just doing
what the jury refused to do.
38
00:02:04,537 --> 00:02:07,049
Oh, you can't blame the jury.
39
00:02:07,073 --> 00:02:09,552
They were never given the
evidence they needed to convict.
40
00:02:09,576 --> 00:02:11,253
How is that even possible?
41
00:02:11,277 --> 00:02:13,022
I mean, they found the girl's body
42
00:02:13,046 --> 00:02:14,523
in the trunk of this guy's car.
43
00:02:14,547 --> 00:02:15,758
What more do you need?
44
00:02:15,782 --> 00:02:17,760
Problem is, the jury
never heard any of that.
45
00:02:18,413 --> 00:02:20,629
Turns out, the police had
46
00:02:20,653 --> 00:02:23,132
a description of the kidnapper's car.
47
00:02:23,156 --> 00:02:26,302
Now, this Richard Briggs was
driving a car that matched,
48
00:02:26,326 --> 00:02:28,771
so the police pulled him over
and they searched it.
49
00:02:28,795 --> 00:02:32,174
Now, if there were a body
laying in the back seat,
50
00:02:32,198 --> 00:02:33,509
wouldn't have been a problem.
51
00:02:33,533 --> 00:02:34,844
But it was in the trunk.
52
00:02:34,868 --> 00:02:37,680
And you're not allowed to open the trunk
53
00:02:37,704 --> 00:02:39,381
without probable cause.
54
00:02:39,405 --> 00:02:42,318
At that point the police didn't have it.
55
00:02:42,342 --> 00:02:43,563
Marissa!
56
00:02:46,066 --> 00:02:47,590
You barked, sir?
57
00:02:47,614 --> 00:02:49,792
How long has this piece of mail
been sitting on my desk?
58
00:02:49,816 --> 00:02:52,194
Your jury summons? Since April.
59
00:02:52,218 --> 00:02:54,697
Oh. Really? Six months.
60
00:02:54,721 --> 00:02:56,465
That postmark in the upper
right-hand corner?
61
00:02:56,489 --> 00:02:57,800
That is a dead giveaway.
62
00:02:57,824 --> 00:02:59,735
Well, make a call and get me out of it.
63
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:01,770
You know I can't do that.
We've already postponed it once,
64
00:03:01,794 --> 00:03:03,272
and that's all you're allowed.
65
00:03:03,296 --> 00:03:05,207
When are you due to report?
66
00:03:05,231 --> 00:03:06,842
Day after tomorrow.
67
00:03:06,866 --> 00:03:08,210
Damn it, what a waste of time.
68
00:03:08,234 --> 00:03:09,912
I spend half a day waiting
to be interviewed,
69
00:03:09,936 --> 00:03:11,714
and then the attorneys
figure out who I am,
70
00:03:11,738 --> 00:03:13,449
and they can't get rid of me fast enough.
71
00:03:13,473 --> 00:03:14,884
It's not easy being you.
72
00:03:14,908 --> 00:03:16,719
And another thing:
my phone is not working.
73
00:03:16,743 --> 00:03:18,053
It hasn't rung in days.
74
00:03:18,077 --> 00:03:20,222
The phones are fine. They're not
ringing because no one's calling.
75
00:03:20,246 --> 00:03:21,357
What do you mean?
76
00:03:21,935 --> 00:03:24,260
You haven't been here for three months.
77
00:03:24,284 --> 00:03:26,228
I mean, let's be honest.
78
00:03:26,252 --> 00:03:27,963
You're the reason people call.
79
00:03:27,987 --> 00:03:29,331
And they called plenty
while you were away,
80
00:03:29,355 --> 00:03:31,033
but after a while,
people get tired of hearing,
81
00:03:31,057 --> 00:03:33,035
"He's not here and we're
not certain when he'll be back."
82
00:03:33,059 --> 00:03:34,203
Hmm.
83
00:03:34,227 --> 00:03:36,205
Well, I guess we need to make some noise.
84
00:03:36,229 --> 00:03:37,740
Let people know we're back up to speed.
85
00:03:37,764 --> 00:03:39,074
Call over to the D.A.'s office.
86
00:03:39,098 --> 00:03:41,377
See if there's any juicy
pro bono opportunities
87
00:03:41,401 --> 00:03:42,912
we can avail ourselves of.
88
00:03:42,936 --> 00:03:45,080
Something that will get us some clicks,
89
00:03:45,104 --> 00:03:46,882
some ink, some TV time.
90
00:03:46,906 --> 00:03:48,675
Clicks, ink, and TV time.
91
00:03:48,699 --> 00:03:50,252
I love it when your better angels make
92
00:03:50,276 --> 00:03:52,043
an unscheduled cameo appearance.
93
00:03:54,493 --> 00:03:56,426
You know what?
94
00:03:57,050 --> 00:04:00,262
I think I might actually
have something for you.
95
00:04:01,058 --> 00:04:03,560
He'd come over every Wednesday.
96
00:04:04,290 --> 00:04:07,369
Always commenting on how they looked.
97
00:04:07,393 --> 00:04:10,906
Their clothes, their hair, how...
98
00:04:11,568 --> 00:04:13,862
how beautiful they were.
99
00:04:14,934 --> 00:04:17,846
He was your daughter's piano teacher.
100
00:04:17,870 --> 00:04:21,305
I always thought it was
about the 15-year-old.
101
00:04:23,243 --> 00:04:27,834
When I... think about the things he did
102
00:04:28,781 --> 00:04:30,337
to my little one.
103
00:04:31,718 --> 00:04:32,923
To Ella.
104
00:04:34,758 --> 00:04:37,333
And then, suddenly he was free.
105
00:04:37,357 --> 00:04:39,602
It was like it never happened.
106
00:04:39,626 --> 00:04:40,936
I'd lost my 11-year-old,
107
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,139
and he was driving around town
like it was a holiday.
108
00:04:44,163 --> 00:04:46,269
Like he'd gotten away with murder.
109
00:04:47,166 --> 00:04:48,396
Which he had.
110
00:04:49,836 --> 00:04:51,691
So I went and bought a gun.
111
00:04:52,505 --> 00:04:54,758
Something I thought I'd never do.
112
00:04:54,782 --> 00:04:56,780
Easiest thing in the world.
113
00:04:58,011 --> 00:05:00,283
And then I just waited for him.
114
00:05:01,785 --> 00:05:04,426
So you shot him three times
in the chest in broad daylight
115
00:05:04,450 --> 00:05:06,081
in front of a dozen witnesses.
116
00:05:06,953 --> 00:05:08,667
And didn't even try to flee.
117
00:05:09,289 --> 00:05:11,467
You must have known you weren't
gonna get away with it.
118
00:05:11,491 --> 00:05:13,088
I didn't care.
119
00:05:13,660 --> 00:05:15,924
I wasn't thinking about any of that.
120
00:05:19,299 --> 00:05:22,806
I just needed to know
he was no longer among us.
121
00:05:26,184 --> 00:05:32,323
Synced & corrected by -robtor-
www.addic7ed.com
122
00:05:37,357 --> 00:05:39,647
Just keep your head down and ignore them.
123
00:05:39,648 --> 00:05:40,836
So what happens today?
124
00:05:40,860 --> 00:05:43,524
A number of things, but first
off, there's a question of bail.
125
00:05:43,524 --> 00:05:45,902
Oh, my gosh, you think they'll
actually offer me bail?
126
00:05:45,926 --> 00:05:48,571
No, but we have to go through
the formality of asking.
127
00:05:48,595 --> 00:05:50,740
And then the other side gets to
indulge in the sadistic pleasure
128
00:05:50,764 --> 00:05:52,742
of telling the court what
a dangerous person you are.
129
00:05:52,766 --> 00:05:54,311
It's just part of the fun.
130
00:05:54,335 --> 00:05:55,645
Look at me, Mrs. Spiro.
131
00:05:56,314 --> 00:05:58,848
We're gonna get you through this,
132
00:05:58,872 --> 00:06:00,650
and then we're gonna get you out of here.
133
00:06:00,674 --> 00:06:02,986
You just have to trust me.
134
00:06:03,388 --> 00:06:04,821
Earth to Marissa.
135
00:06:04,845 --> 00:06:06,489
Benny and I and our client
are making our way
136
00:06:06,513 --> 00:06:07,657
into the courtroom.
137
00:06:07,681 --> 00:06:09,459
Bull, what are you talking about?
138
00:06:09,483 --> 00:06:11,461
You have jury duty this morning.
139
00:06:13,487 --> 00:06:15,131
You're gonna need this.
140
00:06:15,155 --> 00:06:16,299
You all right?
141
00:06:16,323 --> 00:06:17,500
No, I think I may have screwed up.
142
00:06:17,524 --> 00:06:19,669
I have a bit of business
I need to take care of.
143
00:06:19,693 --> 00:06:22,339
Mrs. Spiro, I have to run
upstairs to another courtroom
144
00:06:22,363 --> 00:06:23,540
for a couple of hours.
145
00:06:23,564 --> 00:06:25,008
- A couple of hours?
- It's not a problem.
146
00:06:25,032 --> 00:06:27,077
Nothing of any consequence
ever happens here before lunch,
147
00:06:27,101 --> 00:06:28,211
and even if it did,
148
00:06:28,235 --> 00:06:29,746
you couldn't be in better hands.
149
00:06:29,770 --> 00:06:31,147
You got it.
150
00:06:31,171 --> 00:06:32,549
Mrs. Spiro?
151
00:06:32,573 --> 00:06:34,851
- Bull?
- How late am I?
152
00:06:34,875 --> 00:06:36,386
20 minutes.
153
00:06:36,410 --> 00:06:38,755
How long do you think
it'll take me to get excused?
154
00:06:38,779 --> 00:06:40,924
I have no idea what you're talking about.
155
00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:43,882
I'm betting 45 minutes.
156
00:06:46,587 --> 00:06:49,399
The defendant,
157
00:06:49,423 --> 00:06:54,673
one Kendrick Gorman, who is accused
158
00:06:54,697 --> 00:06:56,596
of practicing law
159
00:06:56,620 --> 00:07:00,944
without a license.
160
00:07:00,968 --> 00:07:02,746
My God, he's actually
pronouncing every comma.
161
00:07:02,770 --> 00:07:04,781
That's right.
162
00:07:04,805 --> 00:07:08,440
Could there possibly be
a bigger abuse of trust?
163
00:07:09,577 --> 00:07:13,057
You find yourself
on the wrong side of the law.
164
00:07:13,082 --> 00:07:14,793
Desperate for help.
165
00:07:15,149 --> 00:07:17,026
You hire an attorney.
166
00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:20,830
Only to find that he's not
really an attorney.
167
00:07:20,854 --> 00:07:25,529
But an impostor.
168
00:07:25,553 --> 00:07:28,405
As opposed
to an authentic idiot like you.
169
00:07:28,429 --> 00:07:30,892
Dr. Jason Bull.
170
00:07:31,765 --> 00:07:34,711
The Dr. Jason Bull?
171
00:07:34,735 --> 00:07:36,346
Hmm. I'm afraid so.
172
00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:38,448
What a pleasure to finally meet you.
173
00:07:38,472 --> 00:07:40,383
And you, as well.
174
00:07:40,407 --> 00:07:43,186
And now, I know you've done work
with my office,
175
00:07:43,210 --> 00:07:45,833
the state attorney general's office,
176
00:07:45,857 --> 00:07:49,392
and I know you're also thought to be
one of the best in your field.
177
00:07:49,416 --> 00:07:51,928
So, just to be clear, you advise
178
00:07:51,952 --> 00:07:55,365
people like me how to pick juries.
179
00:07:55,389 --> 00:07:59,369
What to say to juries,
how to get the juries to come
180
00:07:59,393 --> 00:08:03,072
to conclusions whoever hires you
needs them to come to.
181
00:08:03,096 --> 00:08:04,274
Is that correct?
182
00:08:04,298 --> 00:08:06,876
Well, that's not how I'd put it, but...
183
00:08:06,900 --> 00:08:09,646
Your Honor, we'd like
to strike this juror for cause.
184
00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:11,014
What cause?
185
00:08:11,038 --> 00:08:12,782
Well, you just heard him.
186
00:08:12,806 --> 00:08:14,584
He is an expert
187
00:08:14,608 --> 00:08:16,920
in all matters pertaining to juries.
188
00:08:16,944 --> 00:08:18,421
And that's all well and good.
189
00:08:18,445 --> 00:08:21,958
But as far as I can tell,
in this particular case,
190
00:08:21,982 --> 00:08:25,061
Dr. Bull will not be picking jurors.
191
00:08:25,085 --> 00:08:27,764
Nor will he be advising either
side on what to say to them.
192
00:08:27,788 --> 00:08:30,467
And as far as helping them
come to conclusions,
193
00:08:30,491 --> 00:08:31,801
well, hopefully that's the job
194
00:08:31,825 --> 00:08:35,226
of every juror during
the period of deliberations.
195
00:08:35,250 --> 00:08:38,330
Ms. Dunn, would you care
to question the juror?
196
00:08:40,934 --> 00:08:43,446
So you're a jury consultant?
197
00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:45,448
A trial scientist, yes.
198
00:08:45,472 --> 00:08:48,518
You advise lawyers
on how to try their cases.
199
00:08:49,012 --> 00:08:51,087
Sometimes, yes.
200
00:08:51,111 --> 00:08:55,091
So, in a sense, you practice law
without a license.
201
00:08:55,115 --> 00:08:56,693
Just like my client.
202
00:08:56,717 --> 00:08:58,828
No, I wouldn't exactly say that.
203
00:08:58,852 --> 00:09:01,164
This juror is acceptable to the defense.
204
00:09:01,188 --> 00:09:04,100
Your Honor, uh, if I may,
205
00:09:04,124 --> 00:09:06,703
I would love to be seated on this jury.
206
00:09:06,727 --> 00:09:08,520
Well, then, today's your lucky day.
207
00:09:08,544 --> 00:09:10,573
But unfortunately, um,
208
00:09:10,597 --> 00:09:14,210
I have a-a previous commitment,
a legal commitment.
209
00:09:14,234 --> 00:09:15,812
A legal commitment?
210
00:09:15,836 --> 00:09:18,748
Yes, indeed. Uh, I am
in the midst of starting
211
00:09:18,772 --> 00:09:22,151
a murder trial downstairs,
right in this very courthouse.
212
00:09:22,175 --> 00:09:25,655
And, um... uh, you may have heard of it.
213
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,991
The State v. Heather Spiro?
214
00:09:28,551 --> 00:09:30,360
It's a very big, important case.
215
00:09:30,384 --> 00:09:32,328
Yes, I have heard of it.
216
00:09:32,352 --> 00:09:34,197
Well, aren't you the VIP?
217
00:09:35,222 --> 00:09:37,133
However, trial scientists are not now,
218
00:09:37,157 --> 00:09:39,202
nor have they ever been, essential
219
00:09:39,226 --> 00:09:41,804
to the American criminal justice system.
220
00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:43,940
But jurors are.
221
00:09:43,964 --> 00:09:46,409
Your Honor, my client
is facing a life sentence.
222
00:09:46,433 --> 00:09:47,744
She has a lawyer?
223
00:09:48,613 --> 00:09:49,979
She does.
224
00:09:50,003 --> 00:09:53,082
Good. Then everybody has what they need.
225
00:09:53,106 --> 00:09:55,718
She has a lawyer, we have 12 jurors.
226
00:09:55,742 --> 00:09:58,354
Welcome to my court, Dr. Bull.
227
00:09:58,378 --> 00:10:01,146
And welcome to jury duty.
228
00:10:05,568 --> 00:10:09,417
Ah. You can win $100 million verdicts
229
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,254
against multinational corporations,
230
00:10:11,278 --> 00:10:13,489
but you can't argue
your way out of jury duty?
231
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:15,158
Trust me, I tried.
232
00:10:15,182 --> 00:10:16,692
I think the judge has a crush on me.
233
00:10:16,716 --> 00:10:17,860
Needless to say,
234
00:10:17,884 --> 00:10:19,629
our client is not pleased.
235
00:10:19,653 --> 00:10:20,863
Oh, I don't blame her.
236
00:10:20,887 --> 00:10:22,498
You just missed her.
237
00:10:22,522 --> 00:10:24,867
They just put her in
the prison van ten minutes ago.
238
00:10:24,891 --> 00:10:28,471
Well, the good news is, I won't
be on this jury for long.
239
00:10:28,495 --> 00:10:30,506
There are only three people
on the witness list.
240
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:32,508
Whole thing should be over in a day.
241
00:10:32,532 --> 00:10:34,777
Now, I was thinking for tomorrow,
242
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,913
it makes sense to promote Chunk
to the second chair.
243
00:10:36,937 --> 00:10:38,915
Someone sitting next to you
with Marissa in his ear.
244
00:10:38,939 --> 00:10:40,917
I get that. So what's the strategy?
245
00:10:40,941 --> 00:10:42,718
Well, I'm thinking EED defense.
246
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,008
EED?
247
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,623
Extreme emotional disturbance?
248
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:50,126
No, that's not going to work.
249
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:52,028
EED happens in the moment.
250
00:10:52,052 --> 00:10:53,796
And the evidence clearly proves
251
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:55,464
that this was not a spontaneous act.
252
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:56,732
By her own admission,
253
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,635
she was lying in wait
for this guy for days.
254
00:10:59,659 --> 00:11:02,405
I know. I just want to use it
to get our foot in the door.
255
00:11:02,429 --> 00:11:04,574
Gives us an excuse
in your opening statement
256
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:06,242
to talk about the horrific details
257
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:07,877
of what happened to this woman's child,
258
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:10,112
- which otherwise...
- We're going to get caught.
259
00:11:10,136 --> 00:11:13,216
And when that happens, we will apologize
260
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,092
and come up with a different attack.
261
00:11:15,116 --> 00:11:16,853
But I'll be in the courtroom by then
262
00:11:16,877 --> 00:11:18,688
and we'll figure something out.
263
00:11:18,712 --> 00:11:22,758
Also, have Danny get a line
on the surviving daughter.
264
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:25,194
We need to give the jury
as many reasons as possible
265
00:11:25,218 --> 00:11:28,097
to not send Heather to prison,
and what better reason
266
00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:31,300
than she has a teenage
daughter who needs her
267
00:11:31,324 --> 00:11:33,258
and is waiting for her to come home?
268
00:11:41,059 --> 00:11:43,001
The tattoo new?
269
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:45,563
Looks new.
270
00:11:46,106 --> 00:11:47,850
I did it myself.
271
00:11:49,108 --> 00:11:51,053
What about the piercings?
272
00:11:51,077 --> 00:11:53,322
Last weekend.
273
00:11:53,346 --> 00:11:56,058
There's not a lot to do around here,
274
00:11:56,082 --> 00:11:58,361
and I don't really know anybody.
275
00:11:58,385 --> 00:12:00,396
I mean, I know my aunt, but...
276
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,731
Would you like your mom to see them?
277
00:12:01,755 --> 00:12:02,732
I can take a picture for you.
278
00:12:02,756 --> 00:12:04,040
No.
279
00:12:04,497 --> 00:12:06,475
She's got enough going on right now.
280
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:08,277
She doesn't need to worry about me.
281
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:12,708
Well, she is... worried about you.
282
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:14,477
She wants to come home to you,
283
00:12:14,501 --> 00:12:15,845
take care of you.
284
00:12:15,869 --> 00:12:17,268
Mm-hmm.
285
00:12:18,371 --> 00:12:20,449
Well, the reason I'm here, uh,
286
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:22,652
we'd like for you to come to the city,
287
00:12:22,676 --> 00:12:24,420
be a part of the trial.
288
00:12:24,444 --> 00:12:26,616
I don't think that's a very good idea.
289
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,941
Well, I can come here.
I can, I can pick you up.
290
00:12:30,951 --> 00:12:32,383
Can sit with you in court.
291
00:12:35,488 --> 00:12:39,068
The jury needs to see
that your mom still has a child,
292
00:12:39,092 --> 00:12:43,039
a child who loves her, misses her,
293
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:44,573
needs her at home.
294
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:48,044
I've been to court before.
295
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:50,780
My sister's trial.
296
00:12:50,804 --> 00:12:53,049
I sat there the whole time,
waiting for a chance
297
00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:54,884
to tell them what I knew,
and then, when the time came,
298
00:12:54,908 --> 00:12:56,652
they wouldn't let me say it.
299
00:12:56,676 --> 00:12:58,921
What wouldn't they let you say?
300
00:12:58,945 --> 00:13:02,758
I... heard his voice.
301
00:13:02,782 --> 00:13:04,961
I knew him.
302
00:13:04,985 --> 00:13:08,563
He was my piano teacher.
303
00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:13,985
I spent every Wednesday with him
for three years.
304
00:13:15,319 --> 00:13:19,108
But, uh, they said
hearing someone's voice
305
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:23,879
and thinking you know who
they are isn't enough proof,
306
00:13:24,454 --> 00:13:27,683
so I couldn't say it on the stand.
307
00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:29,485
You didn't see him?
308
00:13:29,959 --> 00:13:31,961
I was sleeping.
309
00:13:33,463 --> 00:13:36,048
He must've come in
through the window, but...
310
00:13:37,951 --> 00:13:40,887
all I know is, he put a bag over my head
311
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:44,266
and when I woke up,
312
00:13:44,724 --> 00:13:47,894
he was wrapping tape around the bag...
313
00:13:49,429 --> 00:13:51,314
and over my mouth.
314
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:56,711
And he carried me to the closet
and locked me in.
315
00:13:57,778 --> 00:13:59,315
And he said
316
00:13:59,989 --> 00:14:04,709
if I made a sound, he
would kill my mother.
317
00:14:07,163 --> 00:14:10,041
I thought he was there for her.
318
00:14:15,422 --> 00:14:21,003
Maybe if I'd been awake, none
of this would have happened.
319
00:14:21,027 --> 00:14:23,806
Maybe he wouldn't have gotten Ella
320
00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:26,798
or my mom wouldn't have shot him.
321
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:37,075
They're new, too.
322
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:41,287
So, today is all about something
called voir dire.
323
00:14:41,311 --> 00:14:42,823
It's kind of our specialty.
324
00:14:42,847 --> 00:14:45,194
It's about interviewing
prospective jurors
325
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:46,996
and doing everything we can to make sure
326
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:49,298
that we pick the right ones,
the ones who are best able
327
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:50,720
to hear our argument,
328
00:14:50,745 --> 00:14:52,334
- sympathize with it, yeah.
- Okay.
329
00:14:52,358 --> 00:14:54,737
Even though you won't be
testifying today... no one will...
330
00:14:54,761 --> 00:14:57,573
you have a very important job.
331
00:14:57,597 --> 00:15:00,368
This is when the jurors get
their first look at you.
332
00:15:00,392 --> 00:15:03,012
Prosecutor's gonna want
them to see a murderer,
333
00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:04,380
a public menace.
334
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:07,049
I want them to see the schoolteacher,
335
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:08,794
the grieving mother,
336
00:15:08,818 --> 00:15:10,686
the victim of a murderous deviant
337
00:15:10,710 --> 00:15:13,229
who took advantage of a family's trust.
338
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,736
But there's no sign you can hold
up to show 'em all those things.
339
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,266
You have to do it in here.
340
00:15:19,290 --> 00:15:24,066
You have to be it in here and
not just in the courtroom...
341
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:25,868
from the moment you leave
that cell in the morning
342
00:15:25,892 --> 00:15:27,970
until your head hits the pillow
at night. Can you do that?
343
00:15:27,994 --> 00:15:30,172
- Yeah. I can do that.
- Great.
344
00:15:30,196 --> 00:15:33,042
Now, Benny and Chunk know exactly
345
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:34,910
what we're looking for juror-wise.
346
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:37,113
- Marissa back at my office...
- Wait a second.
347
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,315
You're not coming to court with us today?
348
00:15:39,339 --> 00:15:40,683
Well, I can't. I have a...
349
00:15:40,707 --> 00:15:43,919
What did I do? What did I fall for?
350
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:45,454
- I need a new lawyer. I need...
- No, you don't.
351
00:15:45,478 --> 00:15:48,390
You need to lower your voice
and stop acting out in public.
352
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:50,359
Look around. There are people walking by.
353
00:15:50,383 --> 00:15:52,528
You have no idea who they are.
354
00:15:52,552 --> 00:15:55,498
Like I told you, your job starts
355
00:15:55,522 --> 00:15:57,800
the moment you leave
prison in the morning
356
00:15:57,824 --> 00:16:00,443
until you get back to your cell at night.
357
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:03,239
Now, I will do everything
in my power to get back
358
00:16:03,263 --> 00:16:05,541
and be by your side as soon as I can.
359
00:16:05,565 --> 00:16:08,010
But let's not blow this
thing on deportment.
360
00:16:08,034 --> 00:16:09,785
Shall we?
361
00:16:09,991 --> 00:16:12,248
And how many times did the defendant
362
00:16:12,272 --> 00:16:14,350
hold himself out to be an attorney?
363
00:16:14,374 --> 00:16:16,185
At least 16.
364
00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:18,320
And what kinds of cases did he try?
365
00:16:18,344 --> 00:16:19,488
All kinds.
366
00:16:19,512 --> 00:16:22,658
Everything from traffic
violations to murder.
367
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,327
And while we already
know that he didn't have
368
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:29,131
a law degree, what kind
of education did he have?
369
00:16:29,155 --> 00:16:32,134
High school. A year of community college.
370
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:34,370
High school?
371
00:16:34,394 --> 00:16:36,238
A year of community college.
372
00:16:36,262 --> 00:16:38,407
No further questions, Your Honor.
373
00:16:39,315 --> 00:16:40,809
Good afternoon.
374
00:16:41,317 --> 00:16:42,745
Good afternoon.
375
00:16:43,194 --> 00:16:46,382
You obtained a subpoena,
went into my client's office,
376
00:16:46,406 --> 00:16:48,584
seized my client's records.
377
00:16:48,608 --> 00:16:51,353
Did you happen to notice what he
charged for his legal services?
378
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:52,821
Objection. Relevance.
379
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:55,925
Simply because he didn't charge
a lot of money
380
00:16:55,949 --> 00:16:58,527
doesn't change the fact that
he was breaking the law.
381
00:16:58,551 --> 00:17:00,262
Objection sustained.
382
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:02,665
The jury will ignore the question.
383
00:17:03,673 --> 00:17:07,269
When you examined my client's records,
384
00:17:07,293 --> 00:17:12,341
were you able to ascertain the
sort of clients he represented?
385
00:17:12,744 --> 00:17:14,221
What do you mean?
386
00:17:14,308 --> 00:17:16,679
He didn't represent rich people, did he?
387
00:17:16,703 --> 00:17:18,514
Objection. Relevance again.
388
00:17:20,139 --> 00:17:22,017
Objection sustained. Again.
389
00:17:22,358 --> 00:17:25,020
Ms. Dunn, please don't test me.
390
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,923
None of this is relevant to the charges.
391
00:17:27,947 --> 00:17:30,426
Do you have another question?
392
00:17:31,909 --> 00:17:35,397
Yes, juror number four.
What can I do for you?
393
00:17:35,421 --> 00:17:37,154
Well, I just, uh...
394
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:40,836
Well, Your Honor, I've been
in some courtrooms
395
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,305
where the judge allows jurors
to ask questions.
396
00:17:43,838 --> 00:17:46,163
Do you have a question, number four?
397
00:17:49,093 --> 00:17:50,511
Thank you.
398
00:17:54,274 --> 00:17:58,209
"Did the defendant ever lose
any of his cases?"
399
00:18:05,192 --> 00:18:07,496
No. He didn't.
400
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,886
He never lost a case.
401
00:18:11,866 --> 00:18:13,624
Thanks.
402
00:18:16,078 --> 00:18:19,908
Our juror wants to know if any
of the defendant's clients
403
00:18:19,932 --> 00:18:21,834
ever complained about his work.
404
00:18:22,752 --> 00:18:24,001
Not that I know of.
405
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:29,151
Um, juror four,
why don't you just go ahead
406
00:18:29,175 --> 00:18:30,519
and ask your questions out loud?
407
00:18:30,543 --> 00:18:31,644
Your Honor.
408
00:18:33,053 --> 00:18:34,256
Overruled.
409
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,592
- Sit.
- Okay.
410
00:18:36,616 --> 00:18:39,495
Well, hasn't the defendant
already stipulated
411
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,563
that going forward,
he will no longer offer
412
00:18:41,587 --> 00:18:44,199
his services as an attorney
until such time
413
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:46,035
as he completes his education
and passes the bar?
414
00:18:46,650 --> 00:18:48,337
That's my understanding.
415
00:18:48,361 --> 00:18:50,673
And one last question:
how did Mr. Gorman,
416
00:18:50,697 --> 00:18:52,041
the defendant, get caught?
417
00:18:52,740 --> 00:18:55,077
He defended a man falsely accused
418
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:57,780
of being involved
in a drug-trafficking ring.
419
00:18:57,804 --> 00:18:59,497
Which I'm assuming he won.
420
00:19:00,006 --> 00:19:01,016
He did.
421
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,231
So...
422
00:19:02,255 --> 00:19:03,920
a guy with a high school education...
423
00:19:03,944 --> 00:19:06,008
sorry, one year of community college...
424
00:19:06,032 --> 00:19:08,991
beats a City of New York prosecutor.
425
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,126
You think maybe that's why
we're all sitting here?
426
00:19:11,634 --> 00:19:13,277
Isn't it reasonable to assume
427
00:19:13,301 --> 00:19:15,874
that if Mr. Gorman had lost
that particular case,
428
00:19:15,898 --> 00:19:17,933
the prosecutor wouldn't
have investigated him
429
00:19:17,957 --> 00:19:19,433
and we wouldn't be sitting here today?
430
00:19:19,457 --> 00:19:21,058
Doesn't that sound
like an abuse of power?
431
00:19:22,978 --> 00:19:24,239
I suppose.
432
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:27,142
Ah. I have no further questions.
433
00:19:27,525 --> 00:19:29,345
And I have no further questions.
434
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:30,976
The defense rests.
435
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,312
Then, tomorrow morning
436
00:19:32,336 --> 00:19:34,249
the jury will hear closing arguments
437
00:19:34,273 --> 00:19:37,019
and commence deliberations.
438
00:19:37,326 --> 00:19:39,421
Court is adjourned.
439
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:41,590
The good news is there's nothing
left but closing arguments
440
00:19:41,614 --> 00:19:42,725
and deliberations.
441
00:19:42,749 --> 00:19:44,360
The bad news is, at this point,
442
00:19:44,384 --> 00:19:47,262
I don't think either side
is carrying the day
443
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:50,232
and I'm worried that unless
something miraculous happens,
444
00:19:50,256 --> 00:19:53,102
I could be locked up in that jury room
445
00:19:53,126 --> 00:19:54,687
for a couple more days deliberating.
446
00:19:54,711 --> 00:19:57,773
Can we just take a moment
and talk about Heather Spiro?
447
00:19:58,430 --> 00:19:59,708
I think if she doesn't
448
00:19:59,732 --> 00:20:03,112
see Jason Bull sitting by
her side in court pretty soon,
449
00:20:03,136 --> 00:20:04,613
she's likely to fire us.
450
00:20:04,637 --> 00:20:05,914
Which would defeat the whole point
451
00:20:05,938 --> 00:20:07,339
of our having gotten involved,
452
00:20:07,363 --> 00:20:09,251
which was to generate some good press.
453
00:20:09,275 --> 00:20:11,253
Well, I think you're both overreacting.
454
00:20:11,277 --> 00:20:12,888
I disagree.
455
00:20:12,912 --> 00:20:14,857
I think they're telling
it to you straight.
456
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:17,226
We actually had a really
good day at court.
457
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:19,362
I think we got a jury that
you'll be really pleased with.
458
00:20:19,386 --> 00:20:21,897
The one problem is, when they
glance at the defendant,
459
00:20:21,921 --> 00:20:24,789
all they see is an incredibly angry lady.
460
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:29,605
Okay. I'll walk her
into the courtroom again
461
00:20:29,629 --> 00:20:30,706
tomorrow morning.
462
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:32,374
And then you'll turn around,
463
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:34,510
and Chunk and I will be stuck
with trying to convince her
464
00:20:34,534 --> 00:20:35,944
that everything's going to be all right.
465
00:20:35,968 --> 00:20:37,613
And it will be.
466
00:20:37,637 --> 00:20:38,987
It's the best I can do.
467
00:20:39,011 --> 00:20:40,500
Everyone understands.
468
00:20:40,524 --> 00:20:43,474
And you still want me to go with
EED in my opening statement?
469
00:20:45,436 --> 00:20:47,438
EED it is.
470
00:20:47,847 --> 00:20:49,458
Danny, we have the daughter all teed up?
471
00:20:49,482 --> 00:20:51,059
We need her testimony.
472
00:20:51,083 --> 00:20:53,962
- I don't think you want to do that.
- Well, then you'd be wrong
473
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:55,798
'cause that's exactly what we need to do.
474
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:57,399
She's the only witness we have,
475
00:20:57,423 --> 00:21:00,707
at least the only one who can
provide the jury with something
476
00:21:00,731 --> 00:21:03,372
even close to a first-person
account of what happened
477
00:21:03,396 --> 00:21:06,742
the night the victim
was snatched from her home.
478
00:21:07,124 --> 00:21:10,245
Bull, she's 15 and she's cutting herself.
479
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:11,647
She's got a tattoo on her neck
480
00:21:11,671 --> 00:21:13,415
and piercings in her face.
481
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:14,683
And who knows what she's doing
482
00:21:14,707 --> 00:21:16,518
to the other parts of her
body that I can't see.
483
00:21:16,542 --> 00:21:18,387
Clearly she's really fragile,
484
00:21:18,411 --> 00:21:20,656
- and I'm afraid if you put her on the...
- Well, stop being afraid.
485
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,491
We need her testimony.
486
00:21:22,515 --> 00:21:24,827
Well, there is another problem with that.
487
00:21:24,851 --> 00:21:26,495
Heather Spiro won't have it.
488
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:28,864
She knows her daughter is falling apart,
489
00:21:28,888 --> 00:21:31,266
and she's refusing to let her testify.
490
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,769
So she wants to go to prison
for the rest of her life?
491
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,137
She feels there's got
492
00:21:35,161 --> 00:21:37,105
to be a way to present
her case without...
493
00:21:37,129 --> 00:21:39,641
And neither of you could
disabuse her of that?
494
00:21:39,665 --> 00:21:42,044
Nope. But I'm sure you can do it
495
00:21:42,068 --> 00:21:45,347
during your 90-second walk
with her into court tomorrow.
496
00:21:45,371 --> 00:21:46,715
Night, all.
497
00:21:46,739 --> 00:21:48,105
I have got a trial to prepare for.
498
00:21:53,754 --> 00:21:55,211
Well, I guess we're done here.
499
00:21:58,456 --> 00:22:00,033
Don't speak.
500
00:22:00,057 --> 00:22:02,069
Three things.
501
00:22:02,093 --> 00:22:05,138
First thing, I don't give a damn
who you're pissed off at or why.
502
00:22:05,162 --> 00:22:06,440
When you're sitting in that courtroom,
503
00:22:06,464 --> 00:22:07,874
you better be looking like a victim
504
00:22:07,898 --> 00:22:09,276
and not like the
Wicked Witch of the West,
505
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:11,411
or you're not gonna fire me, I will quit.
506
00:22:11,435 --> 00:22:14,081
And if I do that, there's not
a law firm in this town
507
00:22:14,105 --> 00:22:17,223
worth a damn that will touch you
with a ten-foot pole.
508
00:22:17,247 --> 00:22:19,653
Second thing.
I am moving heaven and earth
509
00:22:19,677 --> 00:22:21,888
to get down here and be by your side.
510
00:22:21,912 --> 00:22:24,524
I have every hope that tomorrow morning
511
00:22:24,548 --> 00:22:27,094
I will be there, but I can't promise.
512
00:22:27,118 --> 00:22:29,096
What I can promise is that
I am totally involved
513
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:31,965
in your defense, and those
two men standing behind me
514
00:22:31,989 --> 00:22:33,533
are doing everything
they are supposed to be doing.
515
00:22:33,557 --> 00:22:35,902
But if you're unhappy,
or you have a better idea,
516
00:22:35,926 --> 00:22:38,972
or you have some secret plan
for getting away with murder
517
00:22:38,996 --> 00:22:40,874
on a New York City sidewalk
in broad daylight,
518
00:22:40,898 --> 00:22:42,064
I'd love to hear it.
519
00:22:43,601 --> 00:22:45,545
I didn't think so.
520
00:22:45,569 --> 00:22:49,016
And third, there is one thing
I am certain of.
521
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,684
If we don't put your daughter
on that stand,
522
00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:52,185
you are going to prison.
523
00:22:52,209 --> 00:22:55,222
And the only question will be
for a quarter of a century
524
00:22:55,246 --> 00:22:56,723
or the rest of your life?
525
00:22:56,747 --> 00:22:58,725
She'll never do it.
526
00:22:58,749 --> 00:23:00,160
And I'll never let her.
527
00:23:00,184 --> 00:23:02,062
Then we are all wasting our time.
528
00:23:02,086 --> 00:23:04,564
No. Not you.
529
00:23:04,588 --> 00:23:06,066
Not yet.
530
00:23:06,090 --> 00:23:09,736
You actually haven't given me
any of your time to waste.
531
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,030
You guys are right.
532
00:23:12,054 --> 00:23:13,573
She's a peach.
Well, maybe you haven't heard.
533
00:23:13,597 --> 00:23:14,741
I like to win.
534
00:23:14,765 --> 00:23:18,278
So buckle up, put on a happy face,
535
00:23:18,302 --> 00:23:20,502
and get ready to have your mind changed.
536
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,134
You know, if I were advising
that Gorman fella,
537
00:23:41,158 --> 00:23:44,004
I'd tell him to do the, uh,
closing argument himself.
538
00:23:44,028 --> 00:23:46,473
He needs to show that jury that,
even though he doesn't have
539
00:23:46,497 --> 00:23:49,086
a law license, he's a great litigator.
540
00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:50,777
Would you stop that, please?
541
00:23:51,507 --> 00:23:52,909
We're not supposed to be doing this.
542
00:23:52,933 --> 00:23:55,449
Jurors are not supposed to talk to
defendants outside the courtroom.
543
00:23:57,675 --> 00:23:59,319
I don't know what you're talking about.
544
00:23:59,343 --> 00:24:01,755
I didn't say a word.
545
00:24:02,633 --> 00:24:03,657
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
546
00:24:03,681 --> 00:24:06,660
I intend to prove to you that this,
547
00:24:06,684 --> 00:24:08,662
this was no vigilante killing.
548
00:24:09,598 --> 00:24:12,232
That this was an act of
desperation committed by a woman
549
00:24:12,256 --> 00:24:16,837
who fell victim to a mental
condition called EED.
550
00:24:17,356 --> 00:24:19,106
Extreme emotional disturbance.
551
00:24:19,130 --> 00:24:20,474
Objection.
552
00:24:21,417 --> 00:24:23,016
Objection?
553
00:24:23,968 --> 00:24:27,814
Y... Your Honor, I'm still
giving my opening statement.
554
00:24:27,838 --> 00:24:29,583
EED, really, Your Honor?
555
00:24:29,607 --> 00:24:30,951
The State would like to be heard.
556
00:24:30,975 --> 00:24:33,286
Oh, well, the defense
would like to be heard, too.
557
00:24:33,789 --> 00:24:35,355
As a matter of fact,
the defense would like
558
00:24:35,379 --> 00:24:36,756
to finish their opening statement.
559
00:24:36,780 --> 00:24:39,806
Wow. We've barely started. Okay.
560
00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:41,962
Want to see you both in my chambers.
561
00:24:44,355 --> 00:24:46,301
I love the law.
562
00:24:48,595 --> 00:24:51,037
I know that must sound
ridiculous coming from someone
563
00:24:51,061 --> 00:24:56,343
who's on trial for breaking it,
but it is the truth.
564
00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:59,679
I never planned
on impersonating a-an attorney.
565
00:25:01,233 --> 00:25:03,583
Five years ago, a woman friend asked me
566
00:25:03,607 --> 00:25:06,953
to go with her to, um,
small claims court,
567
00:25:06,977 --> 00:25:08,622
offer moral support.
568
00:25:08,646 --> 00:25:13,460
Um, I was wearing a suit 'cause, um...
569
00:25:14,329 --> 00:25:16,863
I was a-a mortician
and I had a funeral that day.
570
00:25:16,887 --> 00:25:19,032
And anyway, uh, the judge started asking
571
00:25:19,056 --> 00:25:20,200
a bunch of questions.
572
00:25:20,224 --> 00:25:22,068
And my friend kind of froze.
573
00:25:22,092 --> 00:25:26,425
So I started answering for her.
574
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,180
Next thing I know,
my friend won her case.
575
00:25:33,974 --> 00:25:37,217
And as we, uh,
left the courtroom, this guy
576
00:25:37,241 --> 00:25:40,387
came running up to me
to tell me how impressed he was,
577
00:25:40,411 --> 00:25:42,334
and would I represent him
578
00:25:42,358 --> 00:25:44,891
the following week I-in traffic court?
579
00:25:46,069 --> 00:25:47,494
One case led to another.
580
00:25:47,518 --> 00:25:52,868
A-And, and the amazing thing
was, I, I never lost.
581
00:25:55,370 --> 00:25:58,205
I also, uh, never charged
more than $35 an hour.
582
00:25:58,229 --> 00:26:00,240
I know that sounds crazy,
but like I said,
583
00:26:00,264 --> 00:26:03,043
I, I love the law.
584
00:26:03,921 --> 00:26:05,911
And thank God for the Internet,
585
00:26:05,935 --> 00:26:08,915
'cause anything I didn't know,
I, I cou... I could look up.
586
00:26:09,484 --> 00:26:12,316
But of course, I-I knew it was wrong.
587
00:26:13,094 --> 00:26:16,444
Although I'm not sure it should be.
588
00:26:16,468 --> 00:26:18,866
I mean, doesn't the law
belong to everyone?
589
00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:22,062
Not just people with money
who can take seven years
590
00:26:22,086 --> 00:26:23,930
off of their lives and go to school?
591
00:26:23,954 --> 00:26:27,689
Or-or clients who, who can
bankroll a defense?
592
00:26:30,294 --> 00:26:35,332
But, um, that's a conversation
for another day.
593
00:26:39,929 --> 00:26:41,863
I'm sorry.
594
00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:44,714
Sorry for what I did,
595
00:26:44,738 --> 00:26:47,083
but I-I would beg you
not to find me guilty.
596
00:26:47,107 --> 00:26:50,853
Because if I'm convicted,
even when I pass the bar,
597
00:26:50,877 --> 00:26:56,281
I will not ever be allowed to
practice my beloved law again.
598
00:27:00,487 --> 00:27:03,730
Also, this will be
the first case I ever lose.
599
00:27:09,196 --> 00:27:11,129
Benny!
600
00:27:17,244 --> 00:27:18,848
Terrific.
601
00:27:18,872 --> 00:27:19,996
I'm here.
602
00:27:20,774 --> 00:27:24,387
Oh, it's Benny of Arc.
603
00:27:25,579 --> 00:27:27,674
Don't make fun.
604
00:27:27,698 --> 00:27:30,860
My back has declared war
on the rest of my body.
605
00:27:30,884 --> 00:27:32,235
It's all in your head.
606
00:27:32,259 --> 00:27:34,030
Nope. It's all in my back.
607
00:27:36,056 --> 00:27:37,700
Why are you in such a good mood?
608
00:27:37,724 --> 00:27:40,937
I have completed my service as juror.
609
00:27:41,518 --> 00:27:43,573
The accused was found not guilty.
610
00:27:43,597 --> 00:27:45,074
Unanimously.
611
00:27:45,098 --> 00:27:46,776
- Wow.
- But the big news is,
612
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,311
I am back on the team.
613
00:27:48,335 --> 00:27:49,812
Ready to head into court
614
00:27:49,836 --> 00:27:52,081
and fight for the freedom
of our delightful client.
615
00:27:52,105 --> 00:27:53,568
Now,
616
00:27:53,592 --> 00:27:56,419
what's making you so anxious
that your back's gone out?
617
00:27:56,443 --> 00:27:58,888
The judge threw out our EED defense.
618
00:27:59,327 --> 00:28:02,425
Didn't even let me get
through my opening statement.
619
00:28:02,449 --> 00:28:06,518
Now my back's starting to hurt.
620
00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:12,435
What if we lose?
621
00:28:12,459 --> 00:28:16,205
Remember, we don't have
to change every juror's mind.
622
00:28:16,229 --> 00:28:18,374
Just one will get us a mistrial.
623
00:28:18,398 --> 00:28:20,676
Three or four, and the D.A.
might even dismiss the charges.
624
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,180
When you were a kid, you
believed in Santa, didn't you?
625
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:25,815
Till I was about 35.
626
00:28:25,839 --> 00:28:27,338
Ah.
627
00:28:28,441 --> 00:28:30,653
You think what she did was wrong?
628
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:33,489
Yes.
629
00:28:33,513 --> 00:28:35,691
You think punishing her for it is right?
630
00:28:36,406 --> 00:28:37,660
No.
631
00:28:37,684 --> 00:28:39,242
Me either.
632
00:28:41,188 --> 00:28:43,166
Benny, we can win this thing.
633
00:28:44,831 --> 00:28:46,502
You have a plan B?
634
00:28:46,526 --> 00:28:50,306
I have a plan B-minus.
635
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:55,021
It's not great, and it still
presents the same big problem.
636
00:28:55,045 --> 00:28:57,380
Okay. Lay it on me.
637
00:28:57,404 --> 00:29:00,650
We go in there tomorrow and
announce a new defense theory.
638
00:29:00,674 --> 00:29:02,819
It's called defense of others.
639
00:29:02,843 --> 00:29:04,153
Ah.
640
00:29:04,177 --> 00:29:06,389
Defense of others. I know it well.
641
00:29:06,413 --> 00:29:09,625
It's kind of like self-defense,
only we argue that
642
00:29:09,649 --> 00:29:12,795
Heather shot that man in order
to protect her daughter.
643
00:29:12,819 --> 00:29:15,654
Which I believe with all
my heart is the truth.
644
00:29:16,756 --> 00:29:18,901
Just can't figure out how to prove it.
645
00:29:18,925 --> 00:29:22,672
Great. The pain is back.
646
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:30,365
Who did you say it was?
647
00:29:30,390 --> 00:29:31,923
A friend of your mom's.
648
00:29:33,940 --> 00:29:35,918
Hello?
649
00:29:36,466 --> 00:29:37,920
Penny Spiro.
650
00:29:37,944 --> 00:29:40,523
I'm Dr. Jason Bull.
651
00:29:40,547 --> 00:29:42,058
Sorry to show up on your doorstep
652
00:29:42,082 --> 00:29:43,693
so early in the morning, but I'm part
653
00:29:43,717 --> 00:29:45,828
of your mom's legal team,
654
00:29:45,852 --> 00:29:47,830
and I desperately need you
to do two things I've been told
655
00:29:47,854 --> 00:29:49,165
you're not gonna want to do.
656
00:29:49,189 --> 00:29:51,167
I won't testify.
657
00:29:51,815 --> 00:29:53,703
That's only the first one.
658
00:29:54,276 --> 00:29:57,785
I also need you to convince
your mom to let you do it.
659
00:29:57,809 --> 00:30:00,509
It's a pretty simple system.
Uh, four cameras.
660
00:30:00,533 --> 00:30:02,011
Three inside the store.
661
00:30:02,035 --> 00:30:03,479
One that focuses on the cash register
662
00:30:03,503 --> 00:30:05,147
and the customers as they pay.
663
00:30:05,171 --> 00:30:07,850
Two that show customers walking
through the aisles of the store
664
00:30:07,874 --> 00:30:09,552
from opposite sides of the store.
665
00:30:09,576 --> 00:30:12,221
And a wireless camera,
mounted without permission
666
00:30:12,245 --> 00:30:14,790
on the lamp post outside
the store, presumably,
667
00:30:14,814 --> 00:30:17,293
to capture people coming
into and out of the store,
668
00:30:17,317 --> 00:30:19,228
specifically those who haven't paid.
669
00:30:19,252 --> 00:30:21,063
Shoplifters, that kind of thing.
670
00:30:21,803 --> 00:30:25,201
And when you examined the DVR,
what did you discover?
671
00:30:25,225 --> 00:30:27,737
I discovered that
on four consecutive days,
672
00:30:27,761 --> 00:30:29,639
beginning with June 11,
673
00:30:29,663 --> 00:30:33,042
the defendant planted herself
outside the store.
674
00:30:33,066 --> 00:30:35,311
Twice in her car, twice on foot.
675
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:37,513
And in your professional opinion,
676
00:30:37,537 --> 00:30:40,033
- what was she doing?
- Objection, Your Honor.
677
00:30:40,057 --> 00:30:41,751
The assistant district attorney is asking
678
00:30:41,775 --> 00:30:43,085
the witness to speculate.
679
00:30:43,109 --> 00:30:45,087
She's asking a professional investigator
680
00:30:45,111 --> 00:30:46,622
to give her expert opinion
681
00:30:46,646 --> 00:30:48,624
based on the evidence in front of her.
682
00:30:48,648 --> 00:30:50,192
Overruled.
683
00:30:50,874 --> 00:30:52,328
You may answer the question.
684
00:30:52,665 --> 00:30:55,010
Waiting. She's waiting.
685
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,304
Waiting.
686
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:57,900
Any idea for what?
687
00:30:57,924 --> 00:30:59,669
Well, I think that became apparent
688
00:30:59,693 --> 00:31:03,272
on the fifth day,
when she executed Mr. Briggs.
689
00:31:03,296 --> 00:31:05,534
The prosecution has no
further questions for this witness.
690
00:31:05,558 --> 00:31:07,036
I need to hear something positive.
691
00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:10,913
Well, this jury is positively unanimous.
692
00:31:10,937 --> 00:31:13,078
Defense will cross-examine this
witness after the lunch break.
693
00:31:13,102 --> 00:31:14,517
Court is in recess.
694
00:31:14,541 --> 00:31:16,474
Thank God.
695
00:31:17,811 --> 00:31:19,689
Nice of you to join us.
696
00:31:19,713 --> 00:31:21,646
Ah. I thought so, too.
697
00:31:27,153 --> 00:31:29,821
Oh, my God. Penny.
698
00:31:33,226 --> 00:31:34,960
Oh...
699
00:31:35,495 --> 00:31:38,964
I told Dr. Bull everything.
700
00:31:43,051 --> 00:31:45,570
That I'm the reason all this happened.
701
00:31:47,138 --> 00:31:49,349
And I want to take the stand.
702
00:31:50,643 --> 00:31:51,954
Penny...
703
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,292
could you please tell
the jury about the day
704
00:31:56,316 --> 00:31:59,150
they found Ella and caught
the man who killed her?
705
00:32:00,820 --> 00:32:05,323
Well... it was the worst day of my life.
706
00:32:06,192 --> 00:32:09,004
And also,
707
00:32:09,536 --> 00:32:11,621
weirdly, kind of the best.
708
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:14,076
How do you mean?
709
00:32:14,457 --> 00:32:16,278
Well, uh,
710
00:32:16,302 --> 00:32:20,616
it was horrible because it...
711
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,887
it was the moment I absolutely
knew my sister was gone.
712
00:32:26,261 --> 00:32:27,690
Uh...
713
00:32:27,714 --> 00:32:29,925
There was no denying it.
714
00:32:30,724 --> 00:32:33,384
She was never coming back.
715
00:32:35,793 --> 00:32:39,201
But later that night, um,
716
00:32:39,225 --> 00:32:43,506
it finally started to sink in
that they caught him,
717
00:32:43,530 --> 00:32:45,141
the guy who did it.
718
00:32:45,165 --> 00:32:48,110
They had him, and he was going
719
00:32:48,134 --> 00:32:51,068
to prison forever.
720
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:58,001
I remember my mother holding me
721
00:32:59,179 --> 00:33:04,115
and telling me...
it was going to be okay.
722
00:33:06,219 --> 00:33:09,353
That it-it may never go back
to the way it was.
723
00:33:11,458 --> 00:33:14,601
But it would go back to a new normal.
724
00:33:16,644 --> 00:33:18,741
I could live my life again.
725
00:33:19,230 --> 00:33:21,107
I could leave my house.
726
00:33:22,609 --> 00:33:25,448
I-I could go to school,
see my, see my friends.
727
00:33:25,472 --> 00:33:28,684
In a couple of years, go to college.
728
00:33:29,115 --> 00:33:30,975
Have a future.
729
00:33:32,660 --> 00:33:35,024
We were safe.
730
00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:37,482
And then?
731
00:33:39,252 --> 00:33:43,599
And then they let him out of jail.
732
00:33:44,506 --> 00:33:46,035
And I realized
733
00:33:46,508 --> 00:33:49,038
there was never gonna be a normal.
734
00:33:49,803 --> 00:33:52,029
And what did that feel like?
735
00:33:53,348 --> 00:33:55,110
We were terrified.
736
00:33:55,642 --> 00:33:57,346
I was terrified.
737
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:01,417
My mom had to drive me
to and from school again.
738
00:34:01,441 --> 00:34:05,054
And, uh, when we got home,
739
00:34:05,078 --> 00:34:07,723
we'd lock the doors
and check the windows.
740
00:34:08,738 --> 00:34:12,728
And... I didn't see my friends.
741
00:34:13,243 --> 00:34:15,064
I didn't play soccer.
742
00:34:15,495 --> 00:34:17,032
I dropped out of chorus.
743
00:34:17,535 --> 00:34:18,679
And it just
744
00:34:18,748 --> 00:34:20,469
went on like this?
745
00:34:21,126 --> 00:34:23,138
F-For a few months.
746
00:34:24,254 --> 00:34:27,443
So I went to my mom and
I told her that if I couldn't
747
00:34:27,467 --> 00:34:33,037
live a normal life,
that I was going to kill myself.
748
00:34:36,349 --> 00:34:38,587
And what was her reaction to that?
749
00:34:38,611 --> 00:34:40,845
We started experimenting.
750
00:34:41,972 --> 00:34:45,261
I-I'd go out for, like, an hour.
751
00:34:46,151 --> 00:34:49,465
Or I'd walk home from school
with a friend.
752
00:34:50,071 --> 00:34:53,636
I knew those must have been
the longest hours for my mother,
753
00:34:54,075 --> 00:34:57,006
but I started to feel alive again.
754
00:34:57,954 --> 00:34:59,608
And...
755
00:34:59,632 --> 00:35:02,311
what happened on June 10?
756
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,814
I was walking home from school
and I felt like a soda,
757
00:35:05,838 --> 00:35:07,816
so I stopped at the bodega.
758
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,151
By yourself?
759
00:35:09,507 --> 00:35:10,920
Uh, by myself.
760
00:35:10,944 --> 00:35:14,123
And, um, I went to the refrigerator case
761
00:35:14,971 --> 00:35:17,557
and I grabbed a can
762
00:35:18,351 --> 00:35:22,598
and I turned around
and he was standing there.
763
00:35:22,622 --> 00:35:23,933
Mr. Briggs?
764
00:35:23,957 --> 00:35:25,100
Mm-hmm.
765
00:35:25,124 --> 00:35:27,369
And did he say anything to you?
766
00:35:27,393 --> 00:35:30,839
No. He was just staring at me.
767
00:35:30,863 --> 00:35:33,142
Did he touch you?
768
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,643
Try to reach out to you?
769
00:35:34,667 --> 00:35:35,811
No.
770
00:35:36,201 --> 00:35:37,952
And what did you do?
771
00:35:38,404 --> 00:35:41,183
I put the can down
and I ran out of there.
772
00:35:41,207 --> 00:35:42,618
Did you go home?
773
00:35:42,642 --> 00:35:46,956
No. I-I went to the coffee shop
next door and I called my mom.
774
00:35:47,670 --> 00:35:49,725
And she came and picked me up.
775
00:35:49,749 --> 00:35:51,060
That was on June 10,
776
00:35:51,084 --> 00:35:52,895
and on June 11 your mom began
777
00:35:52,919 --> 00:35:54,496
looking for Mr. Briggs at the bodega.
778
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,831
Objection.
779
00:35:55,855 --> 00:35:58,000
That's not a question.
Counsel is testifying.
780
00:35:58,024 --> 00:35:59,735
I apologize, Your Honor.
781
00:36:00,225 --> 00:36:02,137
I just have one more question.
782
00:36:03,311 --> 00:36:04,619
The last time
783
00:36:04,643 --> 00:36:09,144
you were in court, during your
little sister's murder trial,
784
00:36:09,168 --> 00:36:10,713
you were on the stand,
785
00:36:10,737 --> 00:36:13,716
and there was something
that A.D.A. Wakefield
786
00:36:13,740 --> 00:36:18,284
wouldn't allow you to say
that was important to you.
787
00:36:19,619 --> 00:36:20,990
You want to say it now?
788
00:36:21,014 --> 00:36:22,157
Your Honor.
789
00:36:22,538 --> 00:36:24,248
Sit down, Ms. Wakefield.
790
00:36:26,334 --> 00:36:28,753
I just wanted to tell the court
791
00:36:30,171 --> 00:36:32,507
that I heard his voice.
792
00:36:33,925 --> 00:36:36,171
When he broke in that night
793
00:36:36,195 --> 00:36:40,776
and covered my head and put me
in the closet, he spoke to me,
794
00:36:41,391 --> 00:36:44,780
and I knew instantly
795
00:36:45,353 --> 00:36:46,737
who it was.
796
00:36:48,841 --> 00:36:50,775
We all knew who it was.
797
00:36:53,513 --> 00:36:55,446
Why did you let him out?
798
00:36:59,742 --> 00:37:01,953
The defense rests, Your Honor.
799
00:37:02,555 --> 00:37:07,191
I can't explain it,
but nothing is moving here.
800
00:37:19,539 --> 00:37:20,783
Hey, Dr. Bull.
801
00:37:20,807 --> 00:37:22,740
Hey, Cable.
802
00:37:33,352 --> 00:37:35,130
Uh...
803
00:37:35,154 --> 00:37:38,300
Uh, yeah, I just put
everything right over there.
804
00:37:38,324 --> 00:37:40,257
Thank you.
805
00:37:44,163 --> 00:37:46,375
Gabriel.
806
00:37:46,399 --> 00:37:48,010
Excuse me?
807
00:37:48,034 --> 00:37:50,846
My name. My name is Gabriel.
808
00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:52,378
Okay.
809
00:37:53,539 --> 00:37:56,985
But yours can't
seriously be Danny, right?
810
00:37:58,009 --> 00:37:59,154
Danielle.
811
00:37:59,178 --> 00:38:01,657
Ah, you see, well, that makes more sense.
812
00:38:02,305 --> 00:38:03,826
Listen, can you tell
813
00:38:03,850 --> 00:38:07,396
your-your friend's family that
I-I need to clean the place out?
814
00:38:07,894 --> 00:38:09,398
It's just, the landlord wants
815
00:38:09,422 --> 00:38:11,439
to put the apartment back on the market.
816
00:38:13,608 --> 00:38:15,392
Yeah, I'll-I'll let 'em know.
817
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:21,157
I would like to go to the funeral.
818
00:38:22,401 --> 00:38:25,814
Or the memorial, whatever
it is that they're having.
819
00:38:25,838 --> 00:38:27,316
You know.
820
00:38:28,289 --> 00:38:29,985
Okay.
821
00:38:31,410 --> 00:38:32,721
I'll-I'll find you, I'll, um,
822
00:38:32,745 --> 00:38:35,769
I'll let you know
when I-I hear something.
823
00:38:35,793 --> 00:38:37,459
Thank you.
824
00:38:38,132 --> 00:38:39,361
No, please.
825
00:38:39,385 --> 00:38:40,796
Excuse me.
826
00:38:40,820 --> 00:38:42,364
Hello.
827
00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:45,056
Oh, my God. Uh, yeah.
828
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:48,003
Work, um...
829
00:38:48,027 --> 00:38:50,764
A jury we've been waiting for
just came in.
830
00:38:50,788 --> 00:38:52,808
Ah. Thanks again for your he.
831
00:38:52,832 --> 00:38:54,665
Sorry.
832
00:38:56,669 --> 00:38:58,486
Thank you.
833
00:39:00,613 --> 00:39:04,219
It seems in the matter
of The State v. Heather Spiro,
834
00:39:04,742 --> 00:39:07,389
our jury is hopelessly deadlocked.
835
00:39:07,413 --> 00:39:09,691
I say "hopelessly" because,
according to this note,
836
00:39:09,715 --> 00:39:13,328
while six of our jurors
find the defendant guilty,
837
00:39:13,709 --> 00:39:16,298
six believe her to be innocent.
838
00:39:16,322 --> 00:39:20,369
I see no other choice
but to declare a mistrial.
839
00:39:20,393 --> 00:39:23,594
Would the prosecutor like to
schedule a date for a retrial?
840
00:39:34,564 --> 00:39:37,581
I believe, in their inability
to send a unified verdict,
841
00:39:37,605 --> 00:39:40,222
our jurors are sending
an important message.
842
00:39:40,246 --> 00:39:43,358
Perhaps because of all
these months served behind bars,
843
00:39:43,382 --> 00:39:46,261
perhaps in the loss of a child,
844
00:39:46,285 --> 00:39:48,230
justice has already been served.
845
00:39:48,254 --> 00:39:49,731
The State no longer believes
846
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:52,301
this woman is a threat to
society, and with that in mind,
847
00:39:52,325 --> 00:39:55,470
in the interest of justice,
we move to dismiss all charges.
848
00:40:54,101 --> 00:40:56,365
Can I help you? You look a little lost.
849
00:40:56,389 --> 00:40:58,052
I'm sorry, uh,
850
00:40:58,522 --> 00:41:00,335
my name is Ellen McCrory.
851
00:41:00,359 --> 00:41:01,970
My daughter used to work here.
852
00:41:01,994 --> 00:41:04,373
I'm just here to pick up
some of her things.
853
00:41:05,446 --> 00:41:08,210
Boy, this is so not what I pictured.
854
00:41:08,234 --> 00:41:10,451
Mrs. McCrory.
855
00:41:11,124 --> 00:41:13,124
Cable's mother.
856
00:41:14,524 --> 00:41:16,524
I'm so sorry.
857
00:41:17,490 --> 00:41:20,123
I'm Jason Bull. Your
daughter worked for me
858
00:41:22,581 --> 00:41:23,692
You're him.
859
00:41:23,716 --> 00:41:25,099
Hmm.
860
00:41:25,123 --> 00:41:27,863
Well, she, uh,
she talked about you a lot.
861
00:41:27,887 --> 00:41:30,487
Ah. Lies. Nothing but lies.
862
00:41:33,826 --> 00:41:35,092
I miss her...
863
00:41:38,664 --> 00:41:40,776
Stay right here. I'll get
somebody to help you.
864
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,733
Okay, thank you.
865
00:42:02,421 --> 00:42:05,067
Marissa, do me a favor.
866
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,570
Cable's mom is in the War Room,
867
00:42:08,594 --> 00:42:11,762
and she's looking a little lost, so...
868
00:42:13,032 --> 00:42:15,010
Exactly.
869
00:42:15,034 --> 00:42:16,712
Appreciate it.
870
00:42:16,736 --> 00:42:18,547
Thanks.
871
00:42:24,577 --> 00:42:27,511
