Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:15,232 --> 00:00:18,409
Richard. Richard Briggs.
2
00:00:20,585 --> 00:00:22,370
This is for Ella.
3
00:00:34,904 --> 00:00:36,384
Fruit again?
4
00:00:36,427 --> 00:00:37,602
You know,
5
00:00:37,646 --> 00:00:39,430
those come from trees.
6
00:00:39,474 --> 00:00:41,258
Trees live in dirt.
7
00:00:41,302 --> 00:00:44,131
You want to give the boss food
that comes from dirt, go ahead.
8
00:00:44,174 --> 00:00:46,022
But honestly, I think at this
point, the man would appreciate
9
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,569
coffee and a doughnut.
10
00:00:47,612 --> 00:00:49,005
Not funny.
11
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:50,963
I know I would appreciate
coffee and a doughnut.
12
00:00:51,007 --> 00:00:53,096
I mean, look at this stuff.
13
00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:54,706
Quinoa porridge?
14
00:00:54,750 --> 00:00:57,361
Look, I'm all for healthy,
but this stuff will kill you.
15
00:00:57,405 --> 00:00:59,668
You got any food around here
for real people?
16
00:00:59,711 --> 00:01:02,671
Top drawer on your left,
behind the paper towels.
17
00:01:02,714 --> 00:01:04,325
Don't tell anyone.
18
00:01:04,368 --> 00:01:05,674
Don't tell anyone what?
19
00:01:05,717 --> 00:01:09,112
Hallelujah.
20
00:01:20,384 --> 00:01:22,778
Damn, I miss her.
21
00:01:22,821 --> 00:01:28,044
Her mom keeps promising to come
by and pick up her things.
22
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,307
I'll make sure
and add that to the box.
23
00:01:32,527 --> 00:01:34,331
Anybody hear about that guy who
was gunned down on the sidewalk
24
00:01:34,355 --> 00:01:37,140
in the middle of the day
during a beer run yesterday?
25
00:01:37,184 --> 00:01:38,141
That poor woman.
26
00:01:38,185 --> 00:01:39,708
That poor man.
27
00:01:39,751 --> 00:01:41,971
It happened right around
the corner from where I live.
28
00:01:42,014 --> 00:01:44,582
She just walked up to him,
shot him, point blank range.
29
00:01:44,626 --> 00:01:46,758
Well, no. She didn't just.
30
00:01:46,802 --> 00:01:48,586
The guy raped and killed
her daughter.
31
00:01:48,630 --> 00:01:50,521
And believe me, if something
like that ever happens
32
00:01:50,545 --> 00:01:53,548
to my child, I'm gonna want
to do the exact same thing.
33
00:01:53,591 --> 00:01:56,507
Well, wanting is fine.
Doing is a whole other thing.
34
00:01:56,551 --> 00:01:58,509
There are laws in this country.
35
00:01:58,553 --> 00:02:00,381
Yeah, well, obviously
the law didn't work
36
00:02:00,424 --> 00:02:02,513
for the woman
who lost her daughter.
37
00:02:02,557 --> 00:02:04,317
I mean, she was just doing
what the jury refused to do.
38
00:02:04,341 --> 00:02:06,996
You can't blame the jury.
39
00:02:07,039 --> 00:02:09,346
They were never given the
evidence they needed to convict.
40
00:02:09,390 --> 00:02:11,218
How is that even possible?
41
00:02:11,261 --> 00:02:12,958
I mean, they found
the girl's body
42
00:02:13,002 --> 00:02:14,308
in the trunk of this guy's car.
43
00:02:14,351 --> 00:02:15,613
What more do you need?
44
00:02:15,657 --> 00:02:17,615
Problem is, the jury
never heard any of that.
45
00:02:17,659 --> 00:02:20,444
Turns out, the police had
46
00:02:20,488 --> 00:02:23,099
a description
of the kidnapper's car.
47
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:26,276
Now, this Richard Briggs was
driving a car that matched,
48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,626
so the police pulled him over
and they searched it.
49
00:02:28,670 --> 00:02:32,152
Now, if there were a body
laying in the back seat,
50
00:02:32,195 --> 00:02:33,544
wouldn't have been a problem.
51
00:02:33,588 --> 00:02:34,719
But it was in the trunk.
52
00:02:34,763 --> 00:02:37,505
And you're not allowed
to open the trunk
53
00:02:37,548 --> 00:02:39,376
without probable cause.
54
00:02:39,420 --> 00:02:42,292
At that point
the police didn't have it.
55
00:02:42,336 --> 00:02:43,554
Marissa!
56
00:02:45,034 --> 00:02:47,384
You barked, sir?
57
00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:49,647
How long has this piece of mail
been sitting on my desk?
58
00:02:49,691 --> 00:02:52,172
Your jury summons? Since April.
59
00:02:52,215 --> 00:02:54,522
Really? Six months.
60
00:02:54,565 --> 00:02:56,480
That postmark in the upper
right-hand corner?
61
00:02:56,524 --> 00:02:57,699
That is a dead giveaway.
62
00:02:57,742 --> 00:02:59,570
Well, make a call
and get me out of it.
63
00:02:59,614 --> 00:03:01,722
You know I can't do that.
We've already postponed it once,
64
00:03:01,746 --> 00:03:03,313
and that's all you're allowed.
65
00:03:03,357 --> 00:03:05,228
When are you due to report?
66
00:03:05,272 --> 00:03:06,795
Day after tomorrow.
67
00:03:06,838 --> 00:03:08,231
Damn it, what a waste of time.
68
00:03:08,275 --> 00:03:09,904
I spend half a day waiting
to be interviewed,
69
00:03:09,928 --> 00:03:11,626
and then the attorneys
figure out who I am,
70
00:03:11,669 --> 00:03:13,541
and they can't
get rid of me fast enough.
71
00:03:13,584 --> 00:03:14,846
It's not easy being you.
72
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:16,631
And another thing
My phone is not working.
73
00:03:16,674 --> 00:03:18,067
It hasn't rung in days.
74
00:03:18,110 --> 00:03:19,218
The phones are fine.
They're not ringing
75
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:20,243
because no one's calling.
76
00:03:20,287 --> 00:03:21,462
What do you mean?
77
00:03:21,505 --> 00:03:24,291
You haven't been here
for three months.
78
00:03:24,334 --> 00:03:26,249
I mean, let's be honest.
79
00:03:26,293 --> 00:03:27,946
You're the reason people call.
80
00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:29,402
And they called plenty
while you were away,
81
00:03:29,426 --> 00:03:31,056
but after a while,
people get tired of hearing,
82
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,320
"He's not here and we're
not certain when he'll be back."
83
00:03:34,344 --> 00:03:36,259
Well, I guess
we need to make some noise.
84
00:03:36,303 --> 00:03:37,671
Let people know
we're back up to speed.
85
00:03:37,695 --> 00:03:39,088
Call over to the D.A.'s office.
86
00:03:39,131 --> 00:03:41,438
See if there's any juicy
pro bono opportunities
87
00:03:41,482 --> 00:03:42,874
we can avail ourselves of.
88
00:03:42,918 --> 00:03:45,094
Something that will
get us some clicks,
89
00:03:45,137 --> 00:03:46,835
some ink, some TV time.
90
00:03:46,878 --> 00:03:49,011
Clicks, ink, and TV time.
91
00:03:49,054 --> 00:03:50,293
I love it
when your better angels make
92
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:52,144
an unscheduled cameo appearance.
93
00:03:53,885 --> 00:03:55,887
You know what?
94
00:03:57,062 --> 00:04:00,283
I think I might actually
have something for you.
95
00:04:00,327 --> 00:04:04,374
He'd come over every Wednesday.
96
00:04:04,418 --> 00:04:07,508
Always commenting
on how they looked.
97
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:10,946
Their clothes,
their hair, how...
98
00:04:10,989 --> 00:04:14,950
how beautiful they were.
99
00:04:14,993 --> 00:04:17,866
He was your daughter's
piano teacher.
100
00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:21,522
I always thought it was
about the 15-year-old.
101
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:28,746
When I... think about
the things he did
102
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:31,662
to my little one.
103
00:04:31,706 --> 00:04:33,664
To Ella.
104
00:04:33,708 --> 00:04:37,451
And then, suddenly he was free.
105
00:04:37,494 --> 00:04:39,540
It was like it never happened.
106
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:41,019
I'd lost my 11-year-old,
107
00:04:41,063 --> 00:04:44,240
and he was driving around town
like it was a holiday.
108
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:47,243
Like he'd gotten away
with murder.
109
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:49,811
Which he had.
110
00:04:49,854 --> 00:04:52,640
So I went and bought a gun.
111
00:04:52,683 --> 00:04:55,251
Something I thought
I'd never do.
112
00:04:55,295 --> 00:04:58,036
Easiest thing in the world.
113
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,431
And then I just waited for him.
114
00:05:01,475 --> 00:05:04,652
So you shot him three times
in the chest in broad daylight
115
00:05:04,695 --> 00:05:07,045
in front of a dozen witnesses.
116
00:05:07,089 --> 00:05:09,439
And didn't even try to flee.
117
00:05:09,483 --> 00:05:11,702
You must have known you weren't
gonna get away with it.
118
00:05:11,746 --> 00:05:13,661
I didn't care.
119
00:05:13,704 --> 00:05:17,317
I wasn't thinking
about any of that.
120
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:24,149
I just needed to know
he was no longer among us.
121
00:05:40,601 --> 00:05:42,559
Just keep your head down
and ignore them.
122
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:44,474
So what happens today?
123
00:05:44,518 --> 00:05:47,042
A number of things, but first
off, there's a question of bail.
124
00:05:47,085 --> 00:05:49,305
My gosh, you think they'll
actually offer me bail?
125
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:52,134
No, but we have to go through
the formality of asking.
126
00:05:52,177 --> 00:05:54,112
And then the other side gets to
indulge in the sadistic pleasure
127
00:05:54,136 --> 00:05:56,114
of telling the court what
a dangerous person you are.
128
00:05:56,138 --> 00:05:57,792
It's just part of the fun.
129
00:05:57,835 --> 00:05:59,228
Look at me, Mrs. Spiro.
130
00:05:59,271 --> 00:06:02,231
We're gonna get you
through this,
131
00:06:02,274 --> 00:06:04,059
and then we're gonna
get you out of here.
132
00:06:04,102 --> 00:06:06,453
You just have to trust me.
133
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:08,280
Earth to Marissa.
134
00:06:08,324 --> 00:06:10,108
Benny and I and our client
are making our way
135
00:06:10,152 --> 00:06:11,153
into the courtroom.
136
00:06:11,196 --> 00:06:13,068
Bull, what are you
talking about?
137
00:06:13,111 --> 00:06:15,070
You have jury duty this morning.
138
00:06:17,115 --> 00:06:18,639
You're gonna need this.
139
00:06:18,682 --> 00:06:19,857
You all right?
140
00:06:19,901 --> 00:06:21,221
No, I think I may
have screwed up.
141
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:23,097
I have a bit of business
I need to take care of.
142
00:06:23,121 --> 00:06:24,471
Mrs. Spiro,
143
00:06:24,514 --> 00:06:25,926
I have to run upstairs
to another courtroom
144
00:06:25,950 --> 00:06:27,169
for a couple of hours.
145
00:06:27,212 --> 00:06:28,736
A couple of hours? It's not a problem.
146
00:06:28,779 --> 00:06:30,583
Nothing of any consequence
ever happens here before lunch,
147
00:06:30,607 --> 00:06:31,739
and even if it did,
148
00:06:31,782 --> 00:06:33,175
you couldn't be in better hands.
149
00:06:33,218 --> 00:06:34,655
You got it.
150
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:36,178
Mrs. Spiro?
151
00:06:36,221 --> 00:06:37,179
Bull?
152
00:06:37,222 --> 00:06:38,310
How late am I?
153
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:39,964
20 minutes.
154
00:06:40,008 --> 00:06:42,184
How long do you think
it'll take me to get excused?
155
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:44,404
I have no idea
what you're talking about.
156
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:47,407
I'm betting 45 minutes.
157
00:06:50,235 --> 00:06:52,977
The defendant,
158
00:06:53,021 --> 00:06:58,418
one Kendrick Gorman,
who is accused
159
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:00,724
of practicing law
160
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:04,467
without a license.
161
00:07:04,511 --> 00:07:06,271
My God, he's actually
pronouncing every comma.
162
00:07:06,295 --> 00:07:08,297
That's right.
163
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:12,214
Could there possibly be
a bigger abuse of trust?
164
00:07:13,476 --> 00:07:17,045
You find yourself
on the wrong side of the law.
165
00:07:17,088 --> 00:07:18,699
Desperate for help.
166
00:07:18,742 --> 00:07:20,570
You hire an attorney.
167
00:07:20,614 --> 00:07:24,356
Only to find that he's not
really an attorney.
168
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,536
But an impostor.
169
00:07:29,579 --> 00:07:32,060
As opposed to an authentic idiot like you.
170
00:07:32,103 --> 00:07:35,237
Dr. Jason Bull.
171
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,196
TheDr. Jason Bull?
172
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,981
I'm afraid so.
173
00:07:40,024 --> 00:07:42,113
What a pleasure
to finally meet you.
174
00:07:42,157 --> 00:07:44,028
And you, as well.
175
00:07:44,072 --> 00:07:46,770
And now, I know you've done work
with my office,
176
00:07:46,814 --> 00:07:50,165
the state attorney
general's office, and I know
177
00:07:50,208 --> 00:07:53,037
you're also thought to be
one of the best in your field.
178
00:07:53,081 --> 00:07:55,475
So, just to be clear, you advise
179
00:07:55,518 --> 00:07:59,000
people like me
how to pick juries.
180
00:07:59,043 --> 00:08:03,004
What to say to juries,
how to get the juries to come
181
00:08:03,047 --> 00:08:06,703
to conclusions whoever hires you
needs them to come to.
182
00:08:06,747 --> 00:08:07,965
Is that correct?
183
00:08:08,009 --> 00:08:10,490
Well, that's not
how I'd put it, but...
184
00:08:10,533 --> 00:08:13,188
Your Honor, we'd like
to strike this juror for cause.
185
00:08:13,231 --> 00:08:14,624
What cause?
186
00:08:14,668 --> 00:08:16,365
Well, you just heard him.
187
00:08:16,408 --> 00:08:18,367
He is an expert
188
00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:20,543
in all matters
pertaining to juries.
189
00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:22,153
And that's all well and good.
190
00:08:22,197 --> 00:08:25,548
But as far as I can tell,
in this particular case,
191
00:08:25,592 --> 00:08:28,682
Dr. Bull will not
be picking jurors.
192
00:08:28,725 --> 00:08:31,336
Nor will he be advising either
side on what to say to them.
193
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:34,209
And as far as helping them
come to conclusions,
194
00:08:34,252 --> 00:08:35,558
well, hopefully that's the job
195
00:08:35,602 --> 00:08:39,344
of every juror during
the period of deliberations.
196
00:08:39,388 --> 00:08:42,130
Ms. Dunn, would you care
to question the juror?
197
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:47,178
So you're a jury consultant?
198
00:08:47,222 --> 00:08:49,180
A trial scientist, yes.
199
00:08:49,224 --> 00:08:52,270
You advise lawyers
on how to try their cases.
200
00:08:52,314 --> 00:08:54,708
Sometimes, yes.
201
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:58,712
So, in a sense, you practice law
without a license.
202
00:08:58,755 --> 00:09:00,235
Just like my client.
203
00:09:00,278 --> 00:09:02,411
No, I wouldn't exactly say that.
204
00:09:02,454 --> 00:09:04,892
This juror
is acceptable to the defense.
205
00:09:04,935 --> 00:09:07,808
Your Honor, if I may,
206
00:09:07,851 --> 00:09:10,332
I would love
to be seated on this jury.
207
00:09:10,375 --> 00:09:12,769
Well, then, today's
your lucky day.
208
00:09:12,813 --> 00:09:14,423
But unfortunately, um,
209
00:09:14,466 --> 00:09:17,948
I have a-a previous commitment,
a legal commitment.
210
00:09:17,992 --> 00:09:19,471
A legal commitment?
211
00:09:19,515 --> 00:09:22,387
Yes, indeed. I am
in the midst of starting
212
00:09:22,431 --> 00:09:25,869
a murder trial downstairs,
right in this very courthouse.
213
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:29,264
And, um...
you may have heard of it.
214
00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:31,658
The State v. Heather Spiro?
215
00:09:31,701 --> 00:09:34,138
It's a very big, important case.
216
00:09:34,182 --> 00:09:36,097
Yes, I have heard of it.
217
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:37,925
Well, aren't you the VIP?
218
00:09:39,056 --> 00:09:40,841
However, trial scientists
are not now,
219
00:09:40,884 --> 00:09:42,930
nor have they ever been,
essential
220
00:09:42,973 --> 00:09:45,454
to the American
criminal justice system.
221
00:09:45,497 --> 00:09:47,630
But jurors are.
222
00:09:47,674 --> 00:09:50,198
Your Honor, my client
is facing a life sentence.
223
00:09:50,241 --> 00:09:51,373
She has a lawyer?
224
00:09:51,416 --> 00:09:53,636
She does.
225
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,770
Good. Then everybody has
what they need.
226
00:09:56,813 --> 00:09:59,337
She has a lawyer,
we have 12 jurors.
227
00:09:59,381 --> 00:10:02,123
Welcome to my court, Dr. Bull.
228
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:04,952
And welcome to jury duty.
229
00:10:11,523 --> 00:10:14,701
You can win
$100 million verdicts
230
00:10:14,744 --> 00:10:16,528
against multinational
corporations,
231
00:10:16,572 --> 00:10:18,792
but you can't argue
your way out of jury duty?
232
00:10:18,835 --> 00:10:20,402
Trust me, I tried.
233
00:10:20,445 --> 00:10:22,056
I think the judge
has a crush on me.
234
00:10:22,099 --> 00:10:23,013
Needless to say,
235
00:10:23,057 --> 00:10:24,972
our client is not pleased.
236
00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:26,016
I don't blame her.
237
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:27,801
You just missed her.
238
00:10:27,844 --> 00:10:30,020
They just put her in
the prison van ten minutes ago.
239
00:10:30,064 --> 00:10:33,763
Well, the good news is, I won't
be on this jury for long.
240
00:10:33,807 --> 00:10:35,809
There are only three people
on the witness list.
241
00:10:35,852 --> 00:10:37,811
Whole thing should
be over in a day.
242
00:10:37,854 --> 00:10:39,900
Now, I was thinking
for tomorrow,
243
00:10:39,943 --> 00:10:42,076
it makes sense to promote Chunk
to the second chair.
244
00:10:42,119 --> 00:10:44,097
Someone sitting next to you
with Marissa in his ear.
245
00:10:44,121 --> 00:10:46,907
I get that.
So what's the strategy?
246
00:10:46,950 --> 00:10:48,909
Well, I'm thinking EED defense.
247
00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:53,783
Extreme emotional disturbance?
248
00:10:53,827 --> 00:10:56,177
No, that's not going to work.
249
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:58,048
EED happens in the moment.
250
00:10:58,092 --> 00:10:59,746
And the evidence clearly proves
251
00:10:59,789 --> 00:11:01,617
that this was not
a spontaneous act.
252
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:02,923
By her own admission,
253
00:11:02,966 --> 00:11:05,882
she was lying in wait
for this guy for days.
254
00:11:05,926 --> 00:11:08,624
I know. I just want to use it
to get our foot in the door.
255
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:10,800
Gives us an excuse
in your opening statement
256
00:11:10,844 --> 00:11:12,410
to talk about
the horrific details
257
00:11:12,454 --> 00:11:13,953
of what happened
to this woman's child,
258
00:11:13,977 --> 00:11:14,978
which otherwise...
259
00:11:15,022 --> 00:11:16,197
We're going to get caught.
260
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,374
And when that happens,
we will apologize
261
00:11:19,417 --> 00:11:21,724
and come up with
a different attack.
262
00:11:21,768 --> 00:11:22,919
But I'll be in the
courtroom by then
263
00:11:22,943 --> 00:11:24,945
and we'll figure something out.
264
00:11:24,988 --> 00:11:28,775
Also, have Danny get a line
on the surviving daughter.
265
00:11:28,818 --> 00:11:31,342
We need to give the jury
as many reasons as possible
266
00:11:31,386 --> 00:11:34,215
to not send Heather to prison,
and what better reason
267
00:11:34,258 --> 00:11:37,479
than she has a teenage
daughter who needs her
268
00:11:37,522 --> 00:11:39,524
and is waiting for
her to come home?
269
00:11:46,662 --> 00:11:49,186
The tattoo new?
270
00:11:50,187 --> 00:11:52,189
Looks new.
271
00:11:52,233 --> 00:11:53,887
I did it myself.
272
00:11:53,930 --> 00:11:57,151
What about the piercings?
273
00:11:57,194 --> 00:11:59,501
Last weekend.
274
00:11:59,544 --> 00:12:02,156
There's not a lot
to do around here,
275
00:12:02,199 --> 00:12:04,636
and I don't really know anybody.
276
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,682
I mean, I know my aunt, but...
277
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:07,833
Would you like your mom
to see them?
278
00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:08,815
I can take a picture for you.
279
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,817
No.
280
00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,819
She's got enough
going on right now.
281
00:12:12,862 --> 00:12:14,821
She doesn't need
to worry about me.
282
00:12:14,864 --> 00:12:19,042
Well, she is...
worried about you.
283
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:20,783
She wants to come home to you,
284
00:12:20,827 --> 00:12:21,958
take care of you.
285
00:12:24,656 --> 00:12:26,746
Well, the reason I'm here,
286
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:28,965
we'd like for you
to come to the city,
287
00:12:29,009 --> 00:12:30,706
be a part of the trial.
288
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:33,491
I don't think that's
a very good idea.
289
00:12:33,535 --> 00:12:37,060
Well, I can come here.
I can, I can pick you up.
290
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:38,758
Can sit with you in court.
291
00:12:41,804 --> 00:12:45,242
The jury needs to see
that your mom still has a child,
292
00:12:45,286 --> 00:12:49,203
a child who loves her,
misses her,
293
00:12:49,246 --> 00:12:50,857
needs her at home.
294
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:54,208
I've been to court before.
295
00:12:54,251 --> 00:12:56,863
My sister's trial.
296
00:12:56,906 --> 00:12:59,213
I sat there the whole time,
waiting for a chance
297
00:12:59,256 --> 00:13:01,017
to tell them what I knew,
and then, when the time came,
298
00:13:01,041 --> 00:13:02,956
they wouldn't let me say it.
299
00:13:02,999 --> 00:13:05,132
What wouldn't they let you say?
300
00:13:05,175 --> 00:13:08,918
I... heard his voice.
301
00:13:08,962 --> 00:13:11,181
I knew him.
302
00:13:11,225 --> 00:13:16,230
He was my piano teacher.
303
00:13:16,273 --> 00:13:21,061
I spent every Wednesday with him
for three years.
304
00:13:21,104 --> 00:13:25,369
But, they said
hearing someone's voice
305
00:13:25,413 --> 00:13:30,070
and thinking you know who
they are isn't enough proof,
306
00:13:30,113 --> 00:13:34,074
so I couldn't say it
on the stand.
307
00:13:34,117 --> 00:13:35,858
You didn't see him?
308
00:13:35,902 --> 00:13:39,079
I was sleeping.
309
00:13:39,122 --> 00:13:44,127
He must've come in
through the window, but...
310
00:13:44,171 --> 00:13:47,914
all I know is,
he put a bag over my head
311
00:13:47,957 --> 00:13:50,568
and when I woke up,
312
00:13:50,612 --> 00:13:55,747
he was wrapping tape
around the bag...
313
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:58,794
and over my mouth.
314
00:13:58,838 --> 00:14:03,016
And he carried me to the closet
and locked me in.
315
00:14:03,059 --> 00:14:05,714
And he said
316
00:14:05,757 --> 00:14:11,024
if I made a sound, he
would kill my mother.
317
00:14:13,026 --> 00:14:17,639
I thought he was there for her.
318
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:27,301
Maybe if I'd been awake, none
of this would have happened.
319
00:14:27,344 --> 00:14:30,043
Maybe he wouldn't
have gotten Ella
320
00:14:30,086 --> 00:14:33,133
or my mom
wouldn't have shot him.
321
00:14:41,358 --> 00:14:43,491
They're new, too.
322
00:14:44,796 --> 00:14:48,061
So, today is all about something
called voir dire.
323
00:14:48,104 --> 00:14:49,323
It's kind of our specialty.
324
00:14:49,366 --> 00:14:51,542
It's about interviewing
prospective jurors
325
00:14:51,586 --> 00:14:53,283
and doing everything
we can to make sure
326
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:55,677
that we pick the right ones,
the ones who are best able
327
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,723
to hear our argument,
sympathize with it, yeah.Okay.
328
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,204
Even though you won't be
testifying today... no one will...
329
00:15:01,248 --> 00:15:03,990
You have a very important job.
330
00:15:04,033 --> 00:15:07,123
This is when the jurors get
their first look at you.
331
00:15:07,167 --> 00:15:09,386
Prosecutor's gonna want
them to see a murderer,
332
00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:10,866
a public menace.
333
00:15:10,910 --> 00:15:13,434
I want them to see
the schoolteacher,
334
00:15:13,477 --> 00:15:16,219
the grieving mother,
335
00:15:16,263 --> 00:15:17,501
the victim of a
murderous deviant
336
00:15:17,525 --> 00:15:20,441
who took advantage
of a family's trust.
337
00:15:20,484 --> 00:15:22,225
But there's no sign
you can hold up
338
00:15:22,269 --> 00:15:24,575
to show 'em all those things.
339
00:15:24,619 --> 00:15:26,186
You have to do it in here.
340
00:15:26,229 --> 00:15:30,451
You have to be it in here and
not just in the courtroom...
341
00:15:30,494 --> 00:15:32,211
From the moment you leave
that cell in the morning
342
00:15:32,235 --> 00:15:34,344
until your head hits the pillow
at night. Can you do that?
343
00:15:34,368 --> 00:15:36,587
Yeah. I can do that.Great.
344
00:15:36,631 --> 00:15:39,416
Now, Benny and
Chunk know exactly
345
00:15:39,460 --> 00:15:41,244
what we're looking
for juror-wise.
346
00:15:41,288 --> 00:15:43,507
Marissa back at my office...
Wait a second.
347
00:15:43,551 --> 00:15:45,770
You're not coming
to court with us today?
348
00:15:45,814 --> 00:15:47,207
Well, I can't. I have a...
349
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:50,253
What did I do?
What did I fall for?
350
00:15:50,297 --> 00:15:51,970
I need a new lawyer. I need...
No, you don't.
351
00:15:51,994 --> 00:15:54,866
You need to lower your voice
and stop acting out in public.
352
00:15:54,910 --> 00:15:56,825
Look around. There are
people walking by.
353
00:15:56,868 --> 00:15:59,001
You have no idea who they are.
354
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:02,004
Like I told you, your job starts
355
00:16:02,048 --> 00:16:04,180
the moment you leave
prison in the morning
356
00:16:04,224 --> 00:16:07,836
until you get back
to your cell at night.
357
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:09,770
Now, I will do everything
in my power to get back
358
00:16:09,794 --> 00:16:12,101
and be by your side
as soon as I can.
359
00:16:12,145 --> 00:16:14,451
But let's not blow this
thing on deportment.
360
00:16:14,495 --> 00:16:16,932
Shall we?
361
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,760
And how many times
did the defendant
362
00:16:18,803 --> 00:16:20,892
hold himself out
to be an attorney?
363
00:16:20,936 --> 00:16:22,677
At least 16.
364
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,853
And what kinds of cases
did he try?
365
00:16:24,896 --> 00:16:26,159
All kinds.
366
00:16:26,202 --> 00:16:29,249
Everything from traffic
violations to murder.
367
00:16:29,292 --> 00:16:31,860
And while we already
know that he didn't have
368
00:16:31,903 --> 00:16:35,603
a law degree, what kind
of education did he have?
369
00:16:35,646 --> 00:16:38,606
High school.
A year of community college.
370
00:16:38,649 --> 00:16:40,912
High school?
371
00:16:40,956 --> 00:16:42,740
A year of community college.
372
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:44,960
No further questions,
Your Honor.
373
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,180
Good afternoon.
374
00:16:47,223 --> 00:16:49,095
Good afternoon.
375
00:16:49,138 --> 00:16:52,924
You obtained a subpoena,
went into my client's office,
376
00:16:52,968 --> 00:16:55,144
seized my client's records.
377
00:16:55,188 --> 00:16:57,886
Did you happen to notice what he
charged for his legal services?
378
00:16:57,929 --> 00:16:59,192
Objection. Relevance.
379
00:16:59,235 --> 00:17:02,325
Simply because he didn't charge
a lot of money
380
00:17:02,369 --> 00:17:05,154
doesn't change the fact that
he was breaking the law.
381
00:17:05,198 --> 00:17:06,851
Objection sustained.
382
00:17:06,895 --> 00:17:09,332
The jury will ignore
the question.
383
00:17:09,376 --> 00:17:13,858
When you examined
my client's records,
384
00:17:13,902 --> 00:17:18,950
were you able to ascertain the
sort of clients he represented?
385
00:17:18,994 --> 00:17:20,300
What do you mean?
386
00:17:20,343 --> 00:17:23,346
He didn't represent
rich people, did he?
387
00:17:23,390 --> 00:17:25,131
Objection. Relevance again.
388
00:17:26,697 --> 00:17:28,525
Objection sustained. Again.
389
00:17:28,569 --> 00:17:31,528
Ms. Dunn, please don't test me.
390
00:17:31,572 --> 00:17:34,401
None of this is relevant
to the charges.
391
00:17:34,444 --> 00:17:37,056
Do you have another question?
392
00:17:37,099 --> 00:17:42,017
Yes, juror number four.
What can I do for you?
393
00:17:42,061 --> 00:17:43,801
Well, I just...
394
00:17:45,412 --> 00:17:47,283
Well, Your Honor, I've been
in some courtrooms
395
00:17:47,327 --> 00:17:49,894
where the judge allows jurors
to ask questions.
396
00:17:49,938 --> 00:17:52,810
Do you have a question,
number four?
397
00:17:55,335 --> 00:17:58,077
Thank you.
398
00:18:00,862 --> 00:18:04,953
"Did the defendant ever lose
any of his cases?"
399
00:18:11,351 --> 00:18:14,180
No. He didn't.
400
00:18:14,223 --> 00:18:15,529
He never lost a case.
401
00:18:17,705 --> 00:18:20,447
Thanks.
402
00:18:22,449 --> 00:18:26,453
Our juror wants to know if any
of the defendant's clients
403
00:18:26,496 --> 00:18:29,151
ever complained about his work.
404
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:30,674
Not that I know of.
405
00:18:32,502 --> 00:18:35,766
Um, juror four,
why don't you just go ahead
406
00:18:35,810 --> 00:18:37,203
and ask your questions out loud?
407
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:38,204
Your Honor.
408
00:18:38,247 --> 00:18:40,902
Overruled.
409
00:18:40,945 --> 00:18:43,296
- Sit.
- Okay.
410
00:18:43,339 --> 00:18:46,168
Well, hasn't the defendant
already stipulated
411
00:18:46,212 --> 00:18:48,214
that going forward,
he will no longer offer
412
00:18:48,257 --> 00:18:50,825
his services as an attorney
until such time
413
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:52,629
as he completes his education
and passes the bar?
414
00:18:52,653 --> 00:18:55,003
That's my understanding.
415
00:18:55,046 --> 00:18:57,397
And one last question
How did Mr. Gorman,
416
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,615
the defendant, get caught?
417
00:18:58,659 --> 00:19:01,662
He defended a man
falsely accused
418
00:19:01,705 --> 00:19:04,360
of being involved
in a drug-trafficking ring.
419
00:19:04,404 --> 00:19:06,623
Which I'm assuming he won.
420
00:19:06,667 --> 00:19:07,668
He did.
421
00:19:07,711 --> 00:19:09,844
So...
422
00:19:09,887 --> 00:19:11,126
a guy with a high
school education...
423
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,977
Sorry, one year of
community college...
424
00:19:13,021 --> 00:19:15,632
Beats a City of New
York prosecutor.
425
00:19:15,676 --> 00:19:17,808
You think maybe that's why
we're all sitting here?
426
00:19:17,852 --> 00:19:20,376
Isn't it reasonable to assume
427
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:22,770
that if Mr. Gorman had lost
that particular case,
428
00:19:22,813 --> 00:19:24,573
the prosecutor wouldn't
have investigated him
429
00:19:24,598 --> 00:19:26,295
and we wouldn't be
sitting here today?
430
00:19:26,339 --> 00:19:27,979
Doesn't that sound
like an abuse of power?
431
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:30,952
I suppose.
432
00:19:30,995 --> 00:19:33,824
I have no further questions.
433
00:19:33,868 --> 00:19:36,087
And I have no further questions.
434
00:19:36,131 --> 00:19:37,828
The defense rests.
435
00:19:37,872 --> 00:19:39,352
Then, tomorrow morning
436
00:19:39,395 --> 00:19:40,962
the jury will hear
closing arguments
437
00:19:41,005 --> 00:19:43,660
and commence deliberations.
438
00:19:43,704 --> 00:19:46,185
Court is adjourned.
439
00:19:46,228 --> 00:19:48,380
The good news is there's nothing
left but closing arguments
440
00:19:48,404 --> 00:19:49,275
and deliberations.
441
00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:51,102
The bad news is, at this point,
442
00:19:51,146 --> 00:19:53,975
I don't think either side
is carrying the day
443
00:19:54,018 --> 00:19:56,934
and I'm worried that unless
something miraculous happens,
444
00:19:56,978 --> 00:19:59,763
I could be locked up
in that jury room
445
00:19:59,807 --> 00:20:01,548
for a couple more days
deliberating.
446
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:04,333
Can we just take a moment
and talk about Heather Spiro?
447
00:20:04,377 --> 00:20:06,509
I think if she doesn't
448
00:20:06,553 --> 00:20:09,773
see Jason Bull sitting by
her side in court pretty soon,
449
00:20:09,817 --> 00:20:11,384
she's likely to fire us.
450
00:20:11,427 --> 00:20:12,535
Which would defeat
the whole point
451
00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:14,343
of our having gotten involved,
452
00:20:14,387 --> 00:20:15,953
which was to generate
some good press.
453
00:20:15,997 --> 00:20:17,955
Well, I think
you're both overreacting.
454
00:20:17,999 --> 00:20:19,479
I disagree.
455
00:20:19,522 --> 00:20:21,437
I think they're telling
it to you straight.
456
00:20:21,481 --> 00:20:23,918
We actually had a really
good day at court.
457
00:20:23,961 --> 00:20:26,312
I think we got a jury that
you'll be really pleased with.
458
00:20:26,355 --> 00:20:28,488
The one problem is, when they
glance at the defendant,
459
00:20:28,531 --> 00:20:31,447
all they see is
an incredibly angry lady.
460
00:20:33,362 --> 00:20:36,365
Okay. I'll walk her
into the courtroom again
461
00:20:36,409 --> 00:20:37,497
tomorrow morning.
462
00:20:37,540 --> 00:20:39,107
And then you'll turn around,
463
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:41,303
and Chunk and I will be stuck
with trying to convince her
464
00:20:41,327 --> 00:20:42,565
that everything's
going to be all right.
465
00:20:42,589 --> 00:20:44,373
And it will be.
466
00:20:44,417 --> 00:20:45,896
It's the best I can do.
467
00:20:45,940 --> 00:20:47,507
Everyone understands.
468
00:20:47,550 --> 00:20:50,292
And you still want me to go with
EED in my opening statement?
469
00:20:51,554 --> 00:20:54,383
EED it is.
470
00:20:54,427 --> 00:20:56,211
Danny, we have
the daughter all teed up?
471
00:20:56,255 --> 00:20:57,691
We need her testimony.
472
00:20:57,734 --> 00:20:59,345
I don't think
you want to do that.
473
00:20:59,388 --> 00:21:00,607
Well, then you'd be wrong
474
00:21:00,650 --> 00:21:02,348
'cause that's exactly
what we need to do.
475
00:21:02,391 --> 00:21:04,132
She's the only witness we have,
476
00:21:04,175 --> 00:21:07,875
at least the only one who can
provide the jury with something
477
00:21:07,918 --> 00:21:10,181
even close to a first-person
account of what happened
478
00:21:10,225 --> 00:21:13,359
the night the victim
was snatched from her home.
479
00:21:13,402 --> 00:21:17,014
Bull, she's 15 and
she's cutting herself.
480
00:21:17,058 --> 00:21:18,494
She's got a tattoo on her neck
481
00:21:18,538 --> 00:21:20,235
and piercings in her face.
482
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,628
And who knows what she's doing
483
00:21:21,671 --> 00:21:23,345
to the other parts of her
body that I can't see.
484
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:25,196
Clearly she's really fragile,
485
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,523
and I'm afraid if you put her on the...
Well, stop being afraid.
486
00:21:27,547 --> 00:21:29,331
We need her testimony.
487
00:21:29,375 --> 00:21:31,464
Well, there is
another problem with that.
488
00:21:31,507 --> 00:21:33,335
Heather Spiro won't have it.
489
00:21:33,379 --> 00:21:35,511
She knows her daughter
is falling apart,
490
00:21:35,555 --> 00:21:38,035
and she's refusing
to let her testify.
491
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:40,386
So she wants to go to prison
for the rest of her life?
492
00:21:40,429 --> 00:21:41,865
She feels there's got
493
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:43,824
to be a way to present
her case without...
494
00:21:43,867 --> 00:21:46,479
And neither of you could
disabuse her of that?
495
00:21:46,522 --> 00:21:48,742
Nope. But I'm sure you can do it
496
00:21:48,785 --> 00:21:52,136
during your 90-second walk
with her into court tomorrow.
497
00:21:52,180 --> 00:21:53,573
Night, all.
498
00:21:53,616 --> 00:21:54,936
I have got a trial
to prepare for.
499
00:21:59,535 --> 00:22:01,494
Well, I guess we're done here.
500
00:22:07,282 --> 00:22:08,718
Don't speak.
501
00:22:08,762 --> 00:22:10,764
Three things.
502
00:22:10,807 --> 00:22:13,854
First thing, I don't give a damn
who you're pissed off at or why.
503
00:22:13,897 --> 00:22:15,266
When you're sitting
in that courtroom,
504
00:22:15,290 --> 00:22:16,528
you better be looking
like a victim
505
00:22:16,552 --> 00:22:18,051
and not like the
Wicked Witch of the West,
506
00:22:18,075 --> 00:22:20,208
or you're not gonna fire me,
I will quit.
507
00:22:20,251 --> 00:22:22,732
And if I do that, there's not
a law firm in this town
508
00:22:22,776 --> 00:22:25,518
worth a damn that will touch you
with a ten-foot pole.
509
00:22:25,561 --> 00:22:28,259
Second thing.
I am moving heaven and earth
510
00:22:28,303 --> 00:22:30,523
to get down here
and be by your side.
511
00:22:30,566 --> 00:22:33,352
I have every hope
that tomorrow morning
512
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:35,789
I will be there,
but I can't promise.
513
00:22:35,832 --> 00:22:37,791
What I can promise is that
I am totally involved
514
00:22:37,834 --> 00:22:40,620
in your defense, and those
two men standing behind me
515
00:22:40,663 --> 00:22:42,380
are doing everything
they are supposed to be doing.
516
00:22:42,404 --> 00:22:44,537
But if you're unhappy,
or you have a better idea,
517
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:47,627
or you have some secret plan
for getting away with murder
518
00:22:47,670 --> 00:22:49,498
on a New York City sidewalk
in broad daylight,
519
00:22:49,542 --> 00:22:50,847
I'd love to hear it.
520
00:22:52,196 --> 00:22:54,373
I didn't think so.
521
00:22:54,416 --> 00:22:57,680
And third, there is one thing
I am certain of.
522
00:22:57,724 --> 00:22:59,310
If we don't put your daughter
on that stand,
523
00:22:59,334 --> 00:23:00,901
you are going to prison.
524
00:23:00,944 --> 00:23:03,947
And the only question will be
for a quarter of a century
525
00:23:03,991 --> 00:23:05,427
or the rest of your life?
526
00:23:05,471 --> 00:23:07,429
She'll never do it.
527
00:23:07,473 --> 00:23:08,952
And I'll never let her.
528
00:23:08,996 --> 00:23:10,824
Then we are all
wasting our time.
529
00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:13,217
No. Not you.
530
00:23:13,261 --> 00:23:14,828
Not yet.
531
00:23:14,871 --> 00:23:18,440
You actually haven't given me
any of your time to waste.
532
00:23:18,484 --> 00:23:20,442
You guys are right.
533
00:23:20,486 --> 00:23:22,246
She's a peach.
Well, maybe you haven't heard.
534
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:23,445
I like to win.
535
00:23:23,489 --> 00:23:27,101
So buckle up,
put on a happy face,
536
00:23:27,144 --> 00:23:29,233
and get ready to have
your mind changed.
537
00:23:47,513 --> 00:23:49,906
You know, if I were advising
that Gorman fella,
538
00:23:49,950 --> 00:23:52,735
I'd tell him to do the,
closing argument himself.
539
00:23:52,779 --> 00:23:55,346
He needs to show that jury that,
even though he doesn't have
540
00:23:55,390 --> 00:23:57,261
a law license,
he's a great litigator.
541
00:23:57,305 --> 00:23:59,481
Would you stop that, please?
542
00:23:59,525 --> 00:24:01,309
We're not supposed
to be doing this.
543
00:24:01,352 --> 00:24:02,678
Jurors are not supposed
to talk to defendants
544
00:24:02,702 --> 00:24:04,312
outside the courtroom.
545
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,229
I don't know what
you're talking about.
546
00:24:08,272 --> 00:24:10,492
I didn't say a word.
547
00:24:10,536 --> 00:24:12,407
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
548
00:24:12,451 --> 00:24:15,410
I intend to prove to you
that this,
549
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:17,412
this was no vigilante killing.
550
00:24:17,456 --> 00:24:21,111
That this was an act of
desperation committed by a woman
551
00:24:21,155 --> 00:24:25,594
who fell victim to a mental
condition called EED.
552
00:24:25,638 --> 00:24:27,944
Extreme emotional disturbance.
553
00:24:27,988 --> 00:24:29,424
Objection.
554
00:24:29,468 --> 00:24:31,034
Objection?
555
00:24:32,775 --> 00:24:36,562
Y... Your Honor, I'm still
giving my opening statement.
556
00:24:36,605 --> 00:24:38,302
EED, really, Your Honor?
557
00:24:38,346 --> 00:24:39,739
The State would like
to be heard.
558
00:24:39,782 --> 00:24:42,176
Well, the defense
would like to be heard, too.
559
00:24:42,219 --> 00:24:44,265
As a matter of fact,
the defense would like
560
00:24:44,308 --> 00:24:45,547
to finish
their opening statement.
561
00:24:45,571 --> 00:24:48,225
Wow. We've barely started. Okay.
562
00:24:48,269 --> 00:24:50,750
Want to see you both
in my chambers.
563
00:24:53,230 --> 00:24:56,756
I love the law.
564
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:59,846
I know that must sound
ridiculous coming from someone
565
00:24:59,889 --> 00:25:05,329
who's on trial for breaking it,
but it is the truth.
566
00:25:05,373 --> 00:25:08,507
I never planned
on impersonating a-an attorney.
567
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:12,380
Five years ago,
a woman friend asked me
568
00:25:12,423 --> 00:25:15,818
to go with her to, um,
small claims court,
569
00:25:15,862 --> 00:25:17,428
offer moral support.
570
00:25:17,472 --> 00:25:22,477
Um, I was wearing a suit
'cause, um...
571
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:25,698
I was a-a mortician
and I had a funeral that day.
572
00:25:25,741 --> 00:25:27,917
And anyway,
the judge started asking
573
00:25:27,961 --> 00:25:29,136
a bunch of questions.
574
00:25:29,179 --> 00:25:30,964
And my friend kind of froze.
575
00:25:31,007 --> 00:25:36,404
So I started answering for her.
576
00:25:38,406 --> 00:25:42,105
Next thing I know,
my friend won her case.
577
00:25:42,149 --> 00:25:46,153
And as we,
left the courtroom, this guy
578
00:25:46,196 --> 00:25:49,373
came running up to me
to tell me how impressed he was,
579
00:25:49,417 --> 00:25:50,723
and would I represent him
580
00:25:50,766 --> 00:25:53,726
the following week
i-in traffic court?
581
00:25:53,769 --> 00:25:56,511
One case led to another.
582
00:25:56,555 --> 00:26:01,429
A-And, and the amazing thing
was, I, I never lost.
583
00:26:03,170 --> 00:26:07,217
I also, never charged
more than $35 an hour.
584
00:26:07,261 --> 00:26:09,263
I know that sounds crazy,
but like I said,
585
00:26:09,306 --> 00:26:12,005
I, I love the law.
586
00:26:12,048 --> 00:26:14,094
And thank God for the Internet,
587
00:26:14,137 --> 00:26:17,837
'cause anything I didn't know,
I, I cou... I could look up.
588
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,057
But of course,
I-I knew it was wrong.
589
00:26:21,101 --> 00:26:24,974
Although I'm not sure
it should be.
590
00:26:25,018 --> 00:26:27,411
I mean, doesn't the law
belong to everyone?
591
00:26:27,455 --> 00:26:31,024
Not just people with money
who can take seven years
592
00:26:31,067 --> 00:26:32,852
off of their lives
and go to school?
593
00:26:32,895 --> 00:26:36,638
Or-or clients who, who can
bankroll a defense?
594
00:26:39,336 --> 00:26:43,602
But, um, that's a conversation
for another day.
595
00:26:48,389 --> 00:26:50,391
I'm sorry.
596
00:26:51,697 --> 00:26:53,307
Sorry for what I did,
597
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:55,526
but I-I would beg you
not to find me guilty.
598
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:59,487
Because if I'm convicted,
even when I pass the bar,
599
00:26:59,530 --> 00:27:04,927
I will not ever be allowed to
practice my beloved law again.
600
00:27:09,105 --> 00:27:12,892
Also, this will be
the first case I ever lose.
601
00:27:17,723 --> 00:27:19,725
Benny!
602
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,558
Terrific.
603
00:27:27,602 --> 00:27:29,430
I'm here.
604
00:27:29,473 --> 00:27:32,955
It's Benny of Arc.
605
00:27:34,217 --> 00:27:35,479
Don't make fun.
606
00:27:35,523 --> 00:27:39,570
My back has declared war
on the rest of my body.
607
00:27:39,614 --> 00:27:41,355
It's all in your head.
608
00:27:41,398 --> 00:27:42,530
Nope. It's all in my back.
609
00:27:44,575 --> 00:27:46,360
Why are you in such a good mood?
610
00:27:46,403 --> 00:27:49,668
I have completed
my service as juror.
611
00:27:49,711 --> 00:27:52,192
The accused was found
not guilty.
612
00:27:52,235 --> 00:27:53,584
Unanimously.
613
00:27:53,628 --> 00:27:55,456
Wow. But the big news is,
614
00:27:55,499 --> 00:27:56,849
I am back on the team.
615
00:27:56,892 --> 00:27:58,502
Ready to head into court
616
00:27:58,546 --> 00:28:00,591
and fight for the freedom
of our delightful client.
617
00:28:00,635 --> 00:28:02,637
Now,
618
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:05,074
what's making you so anxious
that your back's gone out?
619
00:28:05,118 --> 00:28:07,686
The judge threw out
our EED defense.
620
00:28:07,729 --> 00:28:11,037
Didn't even let me get
through my opening statement.
621
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,302
Now my back's starting to hurt.
622
00:28:18,392 --> 00:28:21,090
What if we lose?
623
00:28:21,134 --> 00:28:24,790
Remember, we don't have
to change every juror's mind.
624
00:28:24,833 --> 00:28:27,009
Just one will get us a mistrial.
625
00:28:27,053 --> 00:28:29,403
Three or four, and the D.A.
might even dismiss the charges.
626
00:28:29,446 --> 00:28:32,754
When you were a kid, you
believed in Santa, didn't you?
627
00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:34,582
Till I was about 35.
628
00:28:37,106 --> 00:28:39,369
You think
what she did was wrong?
629
00:28:39,413 --> 00:28:42,155
Yes.
630
00:28:42,198 --> 00:28:44,418
You think punishing her
for it is right?
631
00:28:44,461 --> 00:28:46,376
No.
632
00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:49,771
Me either.
633
00:28:49,815 --> 00:28:51,773
Benny, we can win this thing.
634
00:28:51,817 --> 00:28:55,168
You have a plan B?
635
00:28:55,211 --> 00:28:58,911
I have a plan B-minus.
636
00:28:58,954 --> 00:29:04,220
It's not great, and it still
presents the same big problem.
637
00:29:04,264 --> 00:29:06,092
Okay. Lay it on me.
638
00:29:06,135 --> 00:29:09,443
We go in there tomorrow and
announce a new defense theory.
639
00:29:09,486 --> 00:29:11,662
It's called defense of others.
640
00:29:12,838 --> 00:29:15,101
Defense of others.
I know it well.
641
00:29:15,144 --> 00:29:18,408
It's kind of like self-defense,
only we argue that
642
00:29:18,452 --> 00:29:21,629
Heather shot that man in order
to protect her daughter.
643
00:29:21,672 --> 00:29:25,546
Which I believe with all
my heart is the truth.
644
00:29:25,589 --> 00:29:27,766
Just can't figure out
how to prove it.
645
00:29:27,809 --> 00:29:31,465
Great. The pain is back.
646
00:29:39,516 --> 00:29:41,431
Who did you say it was?
647
00:29:41,475 --> 00:29:42,955
A friend of your mom's.
648
00:29:44,565 --> 00:29:46,523
Hello?
649
00:29:46,567 --> 00:29:48,525
Penny Spiro.
650
00:29:48,569 --> 00:29:51,267
I'm Dr. Jason Bull.
651
00:29:51,311 --> 00:29:52,703
Sorry to show up
on your doorstep
652
00:29:52,747 --> 00:29:54,488
so early in the morning,
but I'm part
653
00:29:54,531 --> 00:29:56,403
of your mom's legal team,
654
00:29:56,446 --> 00:29:58,424
and I desperately need you
to do two things I've been told
655
00:29:58,448 --> 00:29:59,841
you're not gonna want to do.
656
00:29:59,885 --> 00:30:01,843
I won't testify.
657
00:30:01,887 --> 00:30:04,498
That's only the first one.
658
00:30:04,541 --> 00:30:08,981
I also need you to convince
your mom to let you do it.
659
00:30:09,024 --> 00:30:11,244
It's a pretty simple system.
Four cameras.
660
00:30:11,287 --> 00:30:12,636
Three inside the store.
661
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,203
One that focuses
on the cash register
662
00:30:14,247 --> 00:30:15,857
and the customers as they pay.
663
00:30:15,901 --> 00:30:18,425
Two that show customers walking
through the aisles of the store
664
00:30:18,468 --> 00:30:20,296
from opposite sides
of the store.
665
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:22,864
And a wireless camera,
mounted without permission
666
00:30:22,908 --> 00:30:25,345
on the lamp post outside
the store, presumably,
667
00:30:25,388 --> 00:30:27,956
to capture people coming
into and out of the store,
668
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,871
specifically those
who haven't paid.
669
00:30:29,915 --> 00:30:31,699
Shoplifters, that kind of thing.
670
00:30:31,742 --> 00:30:35,877
And when you examined the DVR,
what did you discover?
671
00:30:35,921 --> 00:30:38,532
I discovered that
on four consecutive days,
672
00:30:38,575 --> 00:30:40,403
beginning with June 11,
673
00:30:40,447 --> 00:30:43,667
the defendant planted herself
outside the store.
674
00:30:43,711 --> 00:30:45,974
Twice in her car, twice on foot.
675
00:30:46,018 --> 00:30:48,237
And in your
professional opinion,
676
00:30:48,281 --> 00:30:50,041
what was she doing? BENNY
Objection, Your Honor.
677
00:30:50,065 --> 00:30:52,546
The assistant district attorney
is asking
678
00:30:52,589 --> 00:30:53,764
the witness to speculate.
679
00:30:53,808 --> 00:30:55,723
She's asking
a professional investigator
680
00:30:55,766 --> 00:30:57,377
to give her expert opinion
681
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:59,379
based on the evidence
in front of her.
682
00:30:59,422 --> 00:31:00,859
Overruled.
683
00:31:00,902 --> 00:31:02,991
You may answer the question.
684
00:31:03,035 --> 00:31:05,472
Waiting. She's waiting.
685
00:31:05,515 --> 00:31:06,516
Waiting.
686
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,562
Any idea for what?
687
00:31:08,605 --> 00:31:10,520
Well, I think
that became apparent
688
00:31:10,564 --> 00:31:14,002
on the fifth day,
when she executed Mr. Briggs.
689
00:31:14,046 --> 00:31:15,501
The prosecution has no further
questions for this witness.
690
00:31:15,525 --> 00:31:18,093
I need to hear
something positive.
691
00:31:18,137 --> 00:31:21,575
Well, this jury
is positively unanimous.
692
00:31:21,618 --> 00:31:23,248
Defense will cross-examine this
witness after the lunch break.
693
00:31:23,272 --> 00:31:25,318
Court is in recess.
694
00:31:25,361 --> 00:31:27,363
Thank God.
695
00:31:28,451 --> 00:31:30,540
Nice of you to join us.
696
00:31:30,584 --> 00:31:32,586
I thought so, too.
697
00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,550
My God. Penny.
698
00:31:46,295 --> 00:31:50,386
I told Dr. Bull everything.
699
00:31:53,259 --> 00:31:56,479
That I'm the reason
all this happened.
700
00:31:57,437 --> 00:32:01,441
And I want to take the stand.
701
00:32:01,484 --> 00:32:02,746
Penny...
702
00:32:02,790 --> 00:32:07,099
could you please tell
the jury about the day
703
00:32:07,142 --> 00:32:10,015
they found Ella and caught
the man who killed her?
704
00:32:11,538 --> 00:32:16,978
Well... it was
the worst day of my life.
705
00:32:17,022 --> 00:32:19,763
And also,
706
00:32:19,807 --> 00:32:22,984
weirdly, kind of the best.
707
00:32:23,028 --> 00:32:24,855
How do you mean?
708
00:32:24,899 --> 00:32:27,075
Well,
709
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:31,514
it was horrible because it...
710
00:32:31,558 --> 00:32:35,605
it was the moment I absolutely
knew my sister was gone.
711
00:32:38,652 --> 00:32:40,654
There was no denying it.
712
00:32:40,697 --> 00:32:44,310
She was never coming back.
713
00:32:47,052 --> 00:32:50,011
But later that night, um,
714
00:32:50,055 --> 00:32:54,363
it finally started to sink in
that they caught him,
715
00:32:54,407 --> 00:32:55,930
the guy who did it.
716
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:58,889
They had him, and he was going
717
00:32:58,933 --> 00:33:01,936
to prison forever.
718
00:33:04,547 --> 00:33:10,031
I remember my mother holding me
719
00:33:10,075 --> 00:33:15,036
and telling me...
it was going to be okay.
720
00:33:17,082 --> 00:33:20,346
That it-it may never go back
to the way it was.
721
00:33:22,391 --> 00:33:27,092
But it would go back
to a new normal.
722
00:33:27,135 --> 00:33:29,485
I could live my life again.
723
00:33:29,529 --> 00:33:33,054
I could leave my house.
724
00:33:33,098 --> 00:33:36,362
I-I could go to school,
see my, see my friends.
725
00:33:36,405 --> 00:33:39,669
In a couple of years,
go to college.
726
00:33:39,713 --> 00:33:41,889
Have a future.
727
00:33:42,933 --> 00:33:45,849
We were safe.
728
00:33:45,893 --> 00:33:48,504
And then?
729
00:33:50,115 --> 00:33:54,554
And then they let him
out of jail.
730
00:33:54,597 --> 00:33:56,860
And I realized
731
00:33:56,904 --> 00:33:59,863
there was never
gonna be a normal.
732
00:33:59,907 --> 00:34:02,953
And what did that feel like?
733
00:34:03,998 --> 00:34:06,044
We were terrified.
734
00:34:06,087 --> 00:34:08,307
I was terrified.
735
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:12,398
My mom had to drive me
to and from school again.
736
00:34:12,441 --> 00:34:15,966
And, when we got home,
737
00:34:16,010 --> 00:34:18,534
we'd lock the doors
and check the windows.
738
00:34:18,578 --> 00:34:23,539
And... I didn't see my friends.
739
00:34:23,583 --> 00:34:25,976
I didn't play soccer.
740
00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:27,935
I dropped out of chorus.
741
00:34:27,978 --> 00:34:29,110
And it just
742
00:34:29,154 --> 00:34:31,460
went on like this?
743
00:34:31,504 --> 00:34:34,072
F-For a few months.
744
00:34:34,115 --> 00:34:38,424
So I went to my mom and
I told her that if I couldn't
745
00:34:38,467 --> 00:34:44,038
live a normal life,
that I was going to kill myself.
746
00:34:46,301 --> 00:34:49,609
And what was
her reaction to that?
747
00:34:49,652 --> 00:34:50,784
We started experimenting.
748
00:34:50,827 --> 00:34:56,181
I-I'd go out for, like, an hour.
749
00:34:56,224 --> 00:35:00,446
Or I'd walk home from school
with a friend.
750
00:35:00,489 --> 00:35:04,667
I knew those must have been
the longest hours for my mother,
751
00:35:04,711 --> 00:35:07,975
but I started
to feel alive again.
752
00:35:08,018 --> 00:35:10,717
And...
753
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,328
what happened on June 10?
754
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:16,723
I was walking home from school
and I felt like a soda,
755
00:35:16,766 --> 00:35:18,725
so I stopped at the bodega.
756
00:35:18,768 --> 00:35:20,161
By yourself?
757
00:35:20,205 --> 00:35:21,858
By myself.
758
00:35:21,902 --> 00:35:25,123
And, um, I went
to the refrigerator case
759
00:35:25,166 --> 00:35:29,344
and I grabbed a can
760
00:35:29,388 --> 00:35:33,696
and I turned around
and he was standing there.
761
00:35:33,740 --> 00:35:34,871
Mr. Briggs?
762
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,397
And did he say anything to you?
763
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,748
No. He was just staring at me.
764
00:35:41,791 --> 00:35:44,142
Did he touch you?
765
00:35:44,185 --> 00:35:45,752
Try to reach out to you?
766
00:35:45,795 --> 00:35:46,709
No.
767
00:35:46,753 --> 00:35:49,408
And what did you do?
768
00:35:49,451 --> 00:35:52,193
I put the can down
and I ran out of there.
769
00:35:52,237 --> 00:35:53,847
Did you go home?
770
00:35:53,890 --> 00:35:57,894
No. I-I went to the coffee shop
next door and I called my mom.
771
00:35:57,938 --> 00:36:00,854
And she came and picked me up.
772
00:36:00,897 --> 00:36:02,029
That was on June 10,
773
00:36:02,072 --> 00:36:03,813
and on June 11 your mom began
774
00:36:03,857 --> 00:36:05,554
looking for Mr. Briggs
at the bodega.
775
00:36:05,598 --> 00:36:06,860
Objection.
776
00:36:06,903 --> 00:36:09,036
That's not a question.
Counsel is testifying.
777
00:36:09,079 --> 00:36:10,690
I apologize, Your Honor.
778
00:36:10,733 --> 00:36:13,214
I just have one more question.
779
00:36:13,258 --> 00:36:15,260
The last time
780
00:36:15,303 --> 00:36:20,221
you were in court, during your
little sister's murder trial,
781
00:36:20,265 --> 00:36:21,657
you were on the stand,
782
00:36:21,701 --> 00:36:24,660
and there was something
that A.D.A. Wakefield
783
00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:30,318
wouldn't allow you to say
that was important to you.
784
00:36:30,362 --> 00:36:32,015
You want to say it now?
785
00:36:32,059 --> 00:36:33,234
Your Honor.
786
00:36:33,278 --> 00:36:35,410
Sit down, Ms. Wakefield.
787
00:36:36,846 --> 00:36:40,894
I just wanted to tell the court
788
00:36:40,937 --> 00:36:44,245
that I heard his voice.
789
00:36:44,289 --> 00:36:47,248
When he broke in that night
790
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:51,731
and covered my head and put me
in the closet, he spoke to me,
791
00:36:51,774 --> 00:36:55,735
and I knew instantly
792
00:36:55,778 --> 00:36:57,780
who it was.
793
00:36:59,826 --> 00:37:01,828
We all knew who it was.
794
00:37:04,657 --> 00:37:06,746
Why did you let him out?
795
00:37:09,052 --> 00:37:13,753
The defense rests, Your Honor.
796
00:37:13,796 --> 00:37:18,410
I can't explain it,
but nothing is moving here.
797
00:37:30,770 --> 00:37:31,814
Hey, Dr. Bull.
798
00:37:31,858 --> 00:37:33,860
Hey, Cable.
799
00:37:46,307 --> 00:37:49,441
Yeah, I just put
everything right over there.
800
00:37:49,484 --> 00:37:51,486
Thank you.
801
00:37:55,316 --> 00:37:57,536
Gabriel.
802
00:37:57,579 --> 00:37:59,102
Excuse me?
803
00:37:59,146 --> 00:38:01,888
My name. My name is Gabriel.
804
00:38:01,931 --> 00:38:04,717
Okay.
805
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,155
But yours can't
seriously be Danny, right?
806
00:38:08,198 --> 00:38:10,331
Danielle.
807
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:12,986
You see, well,
that makes more sense.
808
00:38:13,029 --> 00:38:14,944
Listen, can you tell
809
00:38:14,988 --> 00:38:18,644
your-your friend's family that
I-I need to clean the place out?
810
00:38:18,687 --> 00:38:20,646
It's just, the landlord wants
811
00:38:20,689 --> 00:38:23,866
to put the apartment
back on the market.
812
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:26,739
Yeah, I'll-I'll let 'em know.
813
00:38:29,829 --> 00:38:33,615
I would like to go
to the funeral.
814
00:38:33,659 --> 00:38:36,923
Or the memorial, whatever
it is that they're having.
815
00:38:36,966 --> 00:38:38,533
You know.
816
00:38:38,577 --> 00:38:41,144
Okay.
817
00:38:42,668 --> 00:38:43,843
I'll-I'll find you, I'll, um,
818
00:38:43,886 --> 00:38:47,194
I'll let you know
when I-I hear something.
819
00:38:47,237 --> 00:38:48,717
Thank you.
820
00:38:48,761 --> 00:38:50,589
No, please.
821
00:38:50,632 --> 00:38:51,894
Excuse me.
822
00:38:51,938 --> 00:38:53,592
Hello.
823
00:38:53,635 --> 00:38:57,378
My God. Yeah.
824
00:38:57,422 --> 00:38:59,162
Work, um...
825
00:38:59,206 --> 00:39:01,339
A jury we've been waiting for
just came in.
826
00:39:01,382 --> 00:39:02,731
Thanks again for your help.
827
00:39:03,950 --> 00:39:06,082
Sorry.
828
00:39:08,084 --> 00:39:11,000
Thank you.
829
00:39:11,044 --> 00:39:15,483
It seems in the matter
of The State v. Heather Spiro,
830
00:39:15,527 --> 00:39:18,704
our jury is hopelessly
deadlocked.
831
00:39:18,747 --> 00:39:20,836
I say "hopelessly" because,
according to this note,
832
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:24,623
while six of our jurors
find the defendant guilty,
833
00:39:24,666 --> 00:39:27,582
six believe her to be innocent.
834
00:39:27,626 --> 00:39:31,673
I see no other choice
but to declare a mistrial.
835
00:39:31,717 --> 00:39:35,068
Would the prosecutor like to
schedule a date for a retrial?
836
00:39:45,470 --> 00:39:48,168
I believe, in their inability
to send a unified verdict,
837
00:39:48,211 --> 00:39:51,476
our jurors are sending
an important message.
838
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:54,653
Perhaps because of all
these months served behind bars,
839
00:39:54,696 --> 00:39:57,525
perhaps in the loss of a child,
840
00:39:57,569 --> 00:39:59,484
justice has already been served.
841
00:39:59,527 --> 00:40:01,094
The State no longer believes
842
00:40:01,137 --> 00:40:03,575
this woman is a threat to
society, and with that in mind,
843
00:40:03,618 --> 00:40:06,795
in the interest of justice,
we move to dismiss all charges.
844
00:41:05,201 --> 00:41:07,726
Can I help you? You
look a little lost.
845
00:41:07,769 --> 00:41:09,075
I'm sorry,
846
00:41:09,118 --> 00:41:11,686
my name is Ellen McCrory.
847
00:41:11,730 --> 00:41:13,253
My daughter used to work here.
848
00:41:13,296 --> 00:41:15,734
I'm just here to pick up
some of her things.
849
00:41:15,777 --> 00:41:19,520
Boy, this is
so not what I pictured.
850
00:41:19,564 --> 00:41:22,131
Mrs. McCrory.
851
00:41:22,175 --> 00:41:23,829
Cable's mother.
852
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:27,136
I'm so sorry.
853
00:41:28,486 --> 00:41:31,445
I'm Jason Bull.
Your daughter worked for me.
854
00:41:31,489 --> 00:41:33,969
My. You...
855
00:41:34,013 --> 00:41:35,144
You're him.
856
00:41:36,972 --> 00:41:39,105
Well, she,
she talked about you a lot.
857
00:41:39,148 --> 00:41:41,977
Lies. Nothing but lies.
858
00:41:45,067 --> 00:41:46,504
I miss her...
859
00:41:50,116 --> 00:41:51,987
Stay right here. I'll get
somebody to help you.
860
00:41:52,031 --> 00:41:54,033
Okay, thank you.
861
00:42:13,879 --> 00:42:16,446
Marissa, do me a favor.
862
00:42:16,490 --> 00:42:20,059
Cable's mom is in the War Room,
863
00:42:20,102 --> 00:42:24,367
and she's looking
a little lost, so...
864
00:42:24,411 --> 00:42:26,369
Exactly.
865
00:42:26,413 --> 00:42:28,241
Appreciate it.
866
00:42:28,284 --> 00:42:30,025
Thanks.
