I don't know what happened
but I can tell you this
there were three people in the pod
there was Jennifer
I can't talk to Jennifer anymore
one of the why she's dead
God
God was there and you know we don't talk much anymore
but he knows rather than he was there and
you know to allocate
I don't know what happened and
I don't think anyone's ever gonna know
I mean, what is God is God

It's you I mean whatever you tell me happened.
I gotta believe now
I know you probably didn't intend to kill this girl
Come on Come on.

So we got to have the truth

why Rob
why shared me
further beaches of Florida is another plus
that you can't get those guys to work
together, give it up to kill to get in
and get this thing in writing for this guy as far as I know.
That nice job.
Okay.
So we sat under the tree.
And I told her I was interested in other people
that I wasn't interested in her.
And she freaked.
She got up and knelt down in front of me and scratched my face.
I got very upset, and I stood up and told her I was going to leave.
This is crazy. And then she said she was sorry.
You know, please stay. And I said, all right.
I'll stay. Just don't sit near me.
And then she said she had to go to the bathroom or something.
So she went buying some bushes, I guess.
What were you doing?
At that time?
Sure. Yeah, I was sitting down on the ground.
And I was leaning back on my arms like this.
And then she came up behind me and she started to massage me.
Really nice. She was really nice
when she wanted to be telling me how cute I look.
But I look cuter if I was tied up.
Then she scooped up my arms and held them together like this.
From behind. Yeah, because I was facing away.
And then she took her underwear and wrapped it around my wrists
and locked my arms behind my back and
she pulled me back and sat on my chest
and was facing my feet.
And then she pulled down my pants and she started playing with me
doing it really hard and it hurt.
And I told her to stop I said Jennifer stop.
And she started laughing and digging her nails into my chest.
And it hurts and I didn't know what to do.
I started screaming and she kept laughing making these weird cackling noises
she was molesting me in the park
she told me she raped
she was having her way with me my arms were tied
behind my back
with our ongoing
Yeah, and I couldn't take the pain.
So I finally got one of my arms loose and I reached up
and I put it around her neck and I pulled her back like this
and flipped her over me and then she didn't move
she was just laying there and I thought she was kidding
I said Jennifer get up
Jennifer get up
and she didn't move and
I didn't know what to do
did you think about calling a car?
No. Or an ambulance? No.
We just left it there
I got up and I walked across the street
and I sat on the fence and I was trying to get my head together
and then a woman came by on a bicycle and then the cops came
and after the cops came it was nothing more I could do
so I went home and I went to sleep
you just kill the girl and
you go home and go to sleep
okay do I told you it was an accident
three Antigona
are not for you
can't go anywhere a girl is dead
look I told you it was an accident.
Robin

Avi chambers.
Bobby chambers my guy
individually had a kid.
Mike, Mike thanks
So I would just say my prayer
whenever I'm under stress I say
I mean I know well you guys
why Hamlet coming around your family's bar
Bobby if I if I know was your kid
I would have backed off the case
I don't know
how bad is it
it's bad it's really bad
he admitted to murder but he was treated fairly
we read them as rates and it wasn't rough
Mike What should I do
okay you gotta get a damn good lawyer. You know what I mean?
Good lawyers cost money
I don't think you need a lawyer for the arraignment
I know it's because I'll tell you Bobby
I don't think they're going to let them go
but can I see
sure all right.
Robin your father's here
yeah all right all right
I'm here we'll get through this together
bitch
Why don't you just leave me alone well
as mine chambers cases mine retribution.
Look at these photographs.
How could he say this was accidental.
She was brutally beaten from head to toe. She had a black eye front tooth was loose.
She even had footmarks on her back.
Must have kicked her after he killed her.
is absurd story about rough sex in the park.
The autopsy proves there was no sex
I only wish we could get chambers on the stand let me know
we'll never put him on the stand. I want to interview every kid
that new chambers and new Jennifer get Shannon's.
I want character references from everyone
from his parish priest, to the janitor in your building.
Roberts teachers, his friends their parents is aunties, uncles,
Grandfather grandmother, I want 30 or 40 letters,
then I'll observe the best quotes in my own affidavit to the judge.
They'll have to read the letters at least twice
before we even go in and ask for bear.
The district attorney is only going to stand up and talk
and by then the judge will have absorbed all of this positive information
about Robert
now here's a letter that you can use as a reference.
I got a call from a detective from the 19 squad
saw a picture of chambers have a newspaper.
Now she tells me she questioned him as a suspect.
In a series of burglaries on the Upper East Side.
You're kidding.
He told me he was only a character witness in a burglary investigation.
What a con artist find out everything you can on this kid
I want to animal for the bail hearing.
It's like there's two Roberts in this case a Jekyll and Hyde
was definitely a pathological lie.
You know what I think happened on the clock?
There was no sex. I think it could have been a robbery
her earrings were missing. She was wearing a Midori.
It's where did they go? Hawala was empty.
Her girlfriend said she had a lot of cash at door
you know what I mean?
Robert Chambers today pleaded not guilty to three charges of burglary.
His fingerprints had been discovered in the looted Eastside apartments
appearing in court with Chambers was David Philly
also accused in the cases Robert Chambers at six five and 200 pounds.
Set up David fill your 561 140 pounds.
He forced me into it. I turned it off.
Put him away for the rest of his life.
Now here's Phil with what
if it wasn't?
How can you say that?
Your friend is dead. I know.
But none of us know exactly what happened that night.
No, I can't see him making this stuff up.
What if you accidentally killed her?
And he didn't know what to do.
And he was so scared. He just ran away from it all
and now he's gonna feel the guilt for the rest of his life.
He is not gonna feel guilty about it.
He killed her. Jennifer is dead.
I mean, it's not like there's another way that you can think about this.
She's just got you fooled just like everyone else.
Your Honor, it would be a terrible blow to Jennifer's family
for killer were allowed to walk the
letters and tested Roberts character.
The headmaster at St. Davids says and I quote,
he was a dream student that was in the seventh grade,
also the Archbishop of Newark, and I'm quoting,
there is a special gentleness to Robert.
A very special respect for persons and unwillingness to cause pain.
Your Honor, this is not a pristine lily white kid with no prior record.
He committed three burglaries
allegedly committed three burglaries
Rahner detectives question two months ago and
decided not to arrest him he made himself available for a lineup
but they never brought him in this whole thing only became an issue
after he was arrested on this homicide.
And the very fact that he has made himself available during their investigation
proves that Robert is trustworthy trustworthy,
Your Honor, he's a drug user,
a thief and a deranged killer.
There's these recourse to hyperbole and
rhetoric does not undermine the fact that Robert will always appear
to answer any charges brought by legal authorities.
Your Honor, Father Leonard is here.
And I urge the Court quite apart from the setting of bail
to set as a condition of bail
that Robert remain in the custody of the church
father Leonard is willing to attest to his willingness to supervise Roberts whereabouts
if you were to stay in a church
can't believe chambers can fail
it's amazing he's out on the street
listening to the guy I'd hire if our product and
there's only last one murder cases so
first things not to bury cases.
So first homicide and how much you want to bet that in winter 20 bucks
you guys wait a minute let me hear this.
Then he had crossed the East drive and
taken a seat on a low wall behind the Metropolitan Museum of Art and
watch the body was discovered.
Crucial reps notch reps right so
you know when I can't figure out his way
the church wants to get in the middle of this I mean this is exactly a case with a lot of sides to
Robert Smith is very active in the church.
This project going to be put up there
as Jack mighty Littman
how is he going to try this case?
He tried this case the same way as tried Bonnie garland
you know that Gale murder where he put the actual victim on trial
I wouldn't put it past him so
you guys remember what he did in the bunny go and
try one of the interviews he said he had to tinker a little bit
you imagine what he's going to do to Jennifer
is going to make the kid responsible for our own angle
you'll say hi, hello jack
you give me an involuntary manslaughter
unintentional manslaughter a sentence in that range
that will cover this indictment the burglaries and anything else you claim he did.
And I'll plead guilty and spare the state of trial
now this is murder.
This is heinous he's a thug and a killer.
I want 25 to life I'm not giving you anything.
Okay
see you in court.
Yes, you will
always want to do
I can assign Mike shear. Like I told you I have nothing to say.
Look, you could have been this girl out of a crush your mind.
You never thought of body digit.
Once you put down a DHS office with me and I showed her pictures.
Whatever happened there happen.
I know Rob he was a very nice guy to me.
And just wanted to tell him
are you sticking up for this jerk?
But I just want this whole thing to pass me by.
I don't want any part of it.
It's too late for that you are a part of it.
I look I've been trying to be nice.
You want to subpoena? Is that what you want?
You want to drag this thing through the court to the press.
You want that be my guest?
because I know you're ripped off and use your credit cards
How do you know that I never reported it
You told him Candice
Can you see that Roberts a slime?
You still like this guy
he stole from
he killed you a friend
how could you still like
loving kept a sex diary to record kinky and
aggressive sexual activity with many lovers.
And Littman says that I told them about it.
Linda Don't let him get to you.
He's doing this to contaminate the public
he knows there's nothing in the diary of course
but by planning the IDS diary kinky and aggressive
these words are going to stay in people's minds
Hello
It's why twig
Mr. Jennifer things are saying about her
the paper disgrace
she was my baby
Good girl. It's
it is unfair. I'm as mad as you are.
You're gonna do something to stop.
She can't defend herself.
Ellen, where are you? Do you want some company?
Are you gonna put rubber stamp?
I want you to tear him apart.
I want you to get the truth.
Ellen.
I don't think Lippman is going to put Robert on the stand
because of his prior bad acts.
I don't understand. Because if Robert takes a stand,
I can ask him about those burglaries.
If he never testifies. I can't by law, bring them up.
We can't tell the jury that he's a thief and
a drug addict. No, we can't.
What kind of justice?
You're on honor, please, please don't let slip
and have my daughter's day book.
There's nothing in it, believe me,
but he will turn it into something
by my giving it is important. I see the book for the rights of the defense.
What about Jennifer's rights of privacy?
Right to Privacy, Mr. Levin and when a person dies?
Who makes these rules? This is insane.
You're killing her all over again. Your Honor.
I have examined this diary and there is nothing sexual in it.
And I never told Mr. Lippman there was
I think you've been sworn to privacy.
Your Honor. If there are any indications of unusual sexual activity,
it goes to the question whether Robert Chambers has the right
to use force to prevent it for God's sake.
All right. That's enough. I directed the book in question
be produced for the courts eyes only.
I'll read it. Exactly. Your Honor.
It's not your job. It's my job as defense counselor
to determine if your job
jack right now
is to wait until I read the book.
Mr. Levin, please.
You said you were going home. I spent all day long phoning your house today.
But there was no answer.
You move back in right.
Yes, it did because the trial started.
Look, I didn't get a chance to call you because I was in Lipman's office all day.
Sorry. But I'm glad to be out of that rectory
because I was Florida was so lucky.
I can't even leave the city here and
I brought you the sand from the beach like you asked.
Believe this the press is so one sided.
All her friends are talking to them and they won't stop bothering my mother.
I wish this never happened.
When this is over, I just want to be this really successful person
All rise.
Be seated fairstein
Do you wish to address the court?
Yes, Your Honor. Madam for Lady, ladies and gentlemen, Jennifer Levin is dead.
But you've known that since media headlines scream that fact of the city
just hours after her body was found.
But now for the very first time, you will learn the true facts
and the circumstances surrounding the murder of Jennifer Levin since her death.
The story told by this defendant has been broadcast to the public
without contradiction, a preposterous story,
which makes a vibrant 18 year old girl the agent of her own death,
a story which reeks of inconsistencies and lies,
which you will see him tell on a videotape
recording barely 18 hours after her death without a shred of remorse.
The defendant by his account of the events
would have this be the case of the people versus Jennifer Levin.
It is not that he is the defendant
and she is dead
don't lose sight of that fact.
When Robert and Jennifer 11 left that night
you knew they were going to spend the night together didn't you?
Yes, I did. Indeed on our way out
you said to Jennifer we know what it is
you're going to do didn't you?
Yes, I did.
Do you ever remember describing to anyone
that Jennifer Levin was physically flirtatious?
Yes. And was that someone
a person who then wrote a magazine article?
Yes, that was
now had you discussed with Jennifer whether or not
Robert Chambers was good looking
you had both admitted that we thought he was good looking.
Did Jennifer tell you that Robert was good sexually
Yeah, yes she did.
And did she also tell you
that she didn't like him as a person
did she tell you that
yes, she told me
all right.
Take it easy.
We
all make stuff
too much money.
may make an analogy I would say the Robert is a blank Tableau
in which images were projected onto him by women.
And so in a sense, he became an ideal boyfriend.
Analogy Tableau How well did you know him very well. I
saw him almost every night. But what can you tell me I don't already know. For the right price.
So what about this gives me that free lifestyle with a wealth of parents longer parents
care what they do, because they know what the hell they're doing.
The parents are divorced is on fossil pethub yassky phony
they also got seven times two or three different times
and divorced fights on divorce decrees of why they have so many different kids from different families
they lose track
is on 10 model for the family
different goodbye for in South Africa via results.
kids run around so much they get home so late
that parents are going to work
sure they cross paths but then a really neat
effect is for self to tell Mom Dad,
he wants the dolly but what have I
is cause me some of you know me.
And tell us Dr. Spitz if you have an opinion
as to how the injury to Ms. Levin's eye was caused
the injury to miss Levin's eye was caused by a punch.
And is it also your opinion that there were nail marks on Miss Levin's face and neck.
There's no question about that. Yes. And you're aware
that there was blood found on Miss Levin's nails is that correct?
Yes, doctor based on the physical condition of Jennifer Levin
and the physical condition of the defendant
as you observed him in the photographs.
Do you have an opinion as to whether sudden death was involved
as a cause and Miss Levin's death?
Objection, Your Honor.
I'll allow it. Go ahead.
There was no sudden death.
There's absolute evidence of a prolonged very intense struggle.
Dr. kornblum Are you the chief medical examiner in Los Angeles?
I am. Are the injuries you see on Miss LeBrons body consistent with a violent struggle?
They are not consistent with that and why is that?
The wounds are superficial.
They are not the type you see when someone is giving a struggle.
Well, what in your opinion was the cause of death
she died as a result of compression of the neck
caused by an arm chokehold and she was flipped over.
Steven. What's going on?
Order Order in the court.
It's corporate recess until 9am tomorrow morning.
Right what's going on?
We got to make a little break
people out of the bathroom
come on
let's get it thanks a lot
look at this just really knows.
As you're reading a call this news was a slow day.
What can I tell you when you get this picture?
I mean, there's no cameras allowed because
it's an old photo. But look, we cropped the eyes.
I mean, he wants though don't you guess it
sell some papers? Guess what?
There's a videotape floating around.
Uh, you know who chambers Jennifer? No, no,
no. Just chambers. It was done afterwards. It was a party
was the star of it. Mate. We've got to get there.
believe from what I hear. It's dynamite.
It's gonna blow the case. Why don't
I guys. What's up with
seven dwarfs testimony in the preppy murder case concluded this week
as Dr. Kornbluth, the defense's key witness stun the courtroom
as he totally refuted the testimony of the medical expert,
leaving the jury to decide was it accidental or deliberate?
However, if it was accidental, How then did Jennifer Levin receive multiple wounds and contusions?
I don't know what's going on.
It's got to be one of the longest deliberations in Manhattan
for a single defendant charged with a civil crime.
It's unusual for it to go on nine days.
I gotta go.
I was
I don't know anything about an auditor.
If you're worried about having been there.
I know you weren't there. But no, Shawn was there. And I know she told you about it.
Why don't you ask her about it?
It was sort of a thing and tell him no okay.
No, I'm seeing all kinds of entry level jobs and
new that can help you out with that you helped me
I'm going to help you out. I'm a great friend.
Chloe will always listen to what he says
speaking today. What do you say? Yes often today?
No. No?
Don't know how to tell you this?
There's chaos in the jury room.
They can't decide what is wrong with them.
Wait a minute. Are you saying
are you saying that there may be a mistrial?
Oh my god.
What does that mean? We go through this all over again.
No, no, I can't. I can't go through another trial.
I cannot sit there and listen to listen and
tear Jennifer apart anymore. Great.
You've got to, we got to put this thing behind us.
This has to come to an end.
What can we get?
Are you sure you want to do this? Absolutely.
What can we get?
Manslaughter one?
How much would you get as low as two to six or as high as six to 18.
I would fight for at least five to 15
And he'd go right to jail.
Okay. But I want him to admit in court
that he intended to hurt Jennifer and to killer.
I want eight and a third to 25.
No, two to six, no six to 18.
And he must surrender tonight. No.
Five to 15 and he gets to go home tonight.
I want him to spend the night with his friends and his family
and then tomorrow he can surrender like a gentleman.
Your Honor, this has to be a part of it.
And the sentence must not only cover the burglaries,
but anything else we're going to say he ever did
in his life up through today.
Mr. Littman?
Your Honor, we withdraw the plea of not guilty and instead
enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter in the first degree.
Order order on the three counts of burglary in the second degree,
we plead guilty to one count
as fairstein,
please acceptable to the people.
It is agreed that the sentence to be imposed upon my client will be one of not less than five years
and not more than 15 years
on both guilty pleas
to run concurrently.
Will the defendant please rise?
Do you plead guilty to manslaughter in the first degree?
Yes, Your Honor.
Is it true, Mr. Chambers that on August 26 1986.
You intended to cause serious physical injury to Jennifer Levin,
and thereby caused her death.
Looking back on everything I'd have to say yes.
But in my heart, I didn't intend for anything to have,
Your Honor. I want you to ask him about his mind
and his hands not as hard
just to chambers and to directly.
Is it true that on August 26 1986, you intended to cause serious physical injury to Jennifer Levin
and thereby caused her death.
Yes, Your Honor.
Did you see him shaking his head?
Is it true, Mr. Chambers?
On August 26 1986. You intended to cause serious physical injury to Jennifer Levin
and thereby caused her death
Yes, Your Honor.
Formal sentencing is set for April 15.
Or to join.
All right.
Let's just see it, fellas.
Okay. All right now.
Congratulations, you did well.
September's please stand up.
Do you wish to address the court before you're sentenced on charges number 639486.
Yes, Your Honor.
Today, we came to see the end of a trial,
a trial with no answers and a trial with no winners.
And Jennifer's looking down on this circus arena
and wondering why it all happened.
I don't know. I never wished for it to happen.
And I never wanted that to happen.
But her name will live on and not to her memories
but in her family and her feelings.
And I wish to apologize for all they've gone through
all right, you have to remain standing Mr. Chambers.
There isn't much left for the court to say other
than I feel sorry for the defendants family and for the 11th hour
No. Defendants family, of course is in a little better position.
The 11 family the father and the mother
will never see their daughter again.
But it's chambers will be back on the streets of New York.
And I hope that when he does he will conduct himself appropriately
as a law abiding citizen
I got involved
you gotta go come on
you wait push down the lobby.
Are we right here?
Okay all right, make it quick Mike
Do you know anyone who can help Robert if he gets into trouble in prison
was his chambers he's a big guy.
It'd be alright if he keeps his nose clean.
Frank has a bulletproof vest with a kip wax with one extra
I think you should put it on I really think these are necessary to work with courts
I work the streets my suggestion for the next week
but I don't think a lot of angry people out there
that might want to hurt you.
It only takes one member Jack roomy
will take them in my car.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Because it's not in custody. Do we get them downtown?
We go on my clock. Alright,
so it's got a whole bunch of go

You got it up so
