[Music continues]

[Groans]

Are you okay? Kate?

(Female #1) 'And what time did this happen?'

'in what vicinity?'

tips hotline, are you reporting a crime?

[Indistinct chatter]

[Keys clacking]

[Instrumental music]

Good morning.

Detective Michael pitts, Indianapolis pd.

We have a warrant to search your garage.

(Woman on radio) 'A negative on that..'

[instrumental music]

[Indistinct chatter]

Hold up.

Watch your head.

Okay. Much comfortable.

(Steve) 'Two days ago, Lisa gilcrest turned her dodge'

'in a deadly weapon when she hit a school teacher'

in a shopping mall parking lot.

I'm guessing Ms. Gilcrest was under the influence

panicked and fled the scene of the crime.

She was sober enough to try and save her own ass.

She drove home, parked her car in the garage

and hid it since the accident.

Honest to god, I don't know how people live with themselves.

Probably would have gotten away with it

if somebody hadn't called tip into the hotline.

Does she have any priors?

No duis, not even a speeding ticket.

Tell us about the victim.

Kate Stevens, sixth-grade teacher, married, no kids.

(Steve) 'This is yours, annabeth.'

for now, let's charge her with reckless homicide

'and leaving the scene.'

the judge will probably only sentence on one

but either way, it's a c felony, two to eight years.

The husband just buried his wife.

I'm guessing he'd prefer the eight.

Ms. Gilcrest, to the charges of reckless homicide

and leaving the scene, how do you plead?

Um, innocent.

Not guilty, your honor, on both counts.

We'd ask that she be released without bail.

She has no prior record of any kind

and is neither a danger nor a flight risk.

She was both a danger and a flight risk

the night she killed Kate Stevens and left the scene.

What do you propose, Ms. Chase?

Three hundred thousand.

Judge, this was accident. My client does clerical work.

She makes 30 grand a year.

Let's say we do a Solomon. Bail is set at 150.

'Next case?'

look, it was a tragic, tragic accident.

Ms. Gilcrest feels terrible. Drop the reckless.

She'll plead no contest to leaving the scene.

I save you the time and expense of a trial, she does two years.

That's barely a slap.

The speed she was diving alone makes it reckless homicide.

I mean, she launched that poor woman over her car, Jeffrey.

She says she took some cold medication,

was a little out of it, lost control of the vehicle.

Yeah, well, that doesn't change the fact a woman is dead

because of her. She left the scene.

She hid the car. She didn't report it.

Come on, she could have been drunk out of her mind

with a history of duis, and you could only

get her for eight years, Max.

You saw her. She's a house frown, not a killer.

- Five years, two suspended. - We're still investigating.

I'm not gonna agree to anything until I get all the facts.

Ms. Chase.

Hi, I'm Randy Stevens, Kate Stevens' husband.

This is her mom, Shirley.

I am so sorry for your loss.

We were wondering what happens next.

The driver's being charged with

reckless homicide and leaving the scene.

But i'm-I'm very confident of a conviction.

My Kate was..

She was everything to me.

Sorry.

This has been very painful for all of us.

Do you think this is gonna be long drawn-out trial?

Her attorney has already asked for plea

so, no, I don't think so.

Oh, good. I-I don't think we could go through that.

I want you to know I'm gonna make sure this is resolved

as quickly and as fairly as possible, okay?

- Thank you. - Yes, thank you.

Any pills or bottles under the seat?

No the crime scene techs inventoried

everything that was in the car

and this is everything that was in gilcrest purse

when she was arrested.

You looking for anything in particular?

She claims she lost control of the vehicle

because she was on cold medicine.

Check her medical records, see if she was on

any another meds that might interact.

Okay.

Okay, this is weird.

- Something interesting? - Yeah.

That's Mrs. Gilcrest, the driver.

What the hell is she doing with the husband of the woman

she just hit and killed?

[Instrumental music]

Is there anything you forgot to tell me, Mr. Stevens?

And think very carefully before you answer that.

I don't understand.

I don't think so.

Why are you in this photo with the woman

who ran down your wife?

Oh, god.

I didn't know it was Lisa the night it happened.

It was dark.

The car came out of nowhere.

I didn't know who was driving the car

until I saw her in court yesterday.

But you didn't say anything then, either.

I couldn't in front of my mother-in-law.

We just buried Kate that morning.

So you were obviously involved with Lisa?

My wife and I had a rough patch in our marriage.

Lisa and I... Had a short-term thing.

I broke it off a few weeks ago, went back to Kate.

Did Lisa make any threats at the time?

No. She was very upset.

But I never though she would do something like this.

I'm shocked, horrified.

(Richard) 'Steve, thanks for coming to see me.'

rumor has it, you're interested in my job.

Please. Does this like the face you wanna see

on an election poster for district attorney?

Yeah, you got a point there.

Listen, we've got a situation on the coles case.

Murder of a rival dealer five years ago.

'They're going to certify an appeal.'

I supervised Maureen on that. It was a solid conviction.

Well, the key witness against coles is now claiming

she told him what to say on the stand.

He's recanting everything.

Says he didn't see coles shoot anybody.

And they're accusing Maureen of suborning perjury.

What?

Richard, Maureen's worked for me for ten years

and never bent a rule, let alone broken one.

The guy is lying.

Maybe so, but we have to handle this whole thing

without a whiff of impropriety.

Now I ink we should bring in outside counsel

to investigate Maureen's involvement in this.

That's a mistake.

You and I both know these guys come in

with an agenda to find something.

I don't see that we have much choice.

Now we should insulate ourselves against this, just in case.

Give me a couple of days.

Let me look into it first.

Maureen deserves that respect.

You know, if they can make this stick

it wouldn't just be her job.

She could face charges, Steve.

Every case she's tried, that you've tried as her boss

for the past ten years, would be called into question.

I had to reschedule a court appearance.

I assume you're ready to talk about a plea deal.

Just need clear up a few facts

before we can talk about resolving this.

Okay.

Lisa, did you know the woman you hit?

No. I keep telling you it was an accident.

Did you know her husband?

- No. - Thank you.

That's everything I need to refile this case as a murder.

What are you talking about?

Let me give you a visual, Jeff.

This is an enlargement of photo that was found

'in your client's purse when she was arrested.'

'personally, it would seem to me that Randy was the one'

who had it coming not her.

Or maybe you wanted to take them both out.

- It wasn't like that. - Really? What was it like?

- Don't answer that. - Did he tell you he loved you?

- He did. He does. - Lisa, stop.

I need to speak to my client alone.

I'll be right outside.

Of course I remember it.

We liked coles for three other killings before this

and we were finally able to nail him.

It's been five years.

It a little late in the game for a witness to be recanting.

I know. But that's exactly what's happening.

'He says he didn't see any of this happen.'

(Maureen) 'Steve, coles executed a rival drug dealer.'

'he pulled him from his car'

'and shot him point-blank three times.'

'we had an eyewitness.'

'Jim jenson, I-I think he's a mailman'

'out in Marion now.'

(Steve) 'The jury convicted coles on the strength'

'of jenson's testimony.'

if we can't prove there was no prosecutorial misconduct

then coles' conviction could be overturned.

And my career would be over.

Is there anything else I need to know about these accusations?

You can tell me on the record or off.

I stand by the facts of the case.

Everything was by the book.

You understand I have to ask these questions.

I understand.

You do what you have to do.

[Instrumental music]

Has your client agreed to cooperate?

- In a limited fashion. - Meaning what?

Meaning you need to limit your question

to her relationship with Mr. Stevens

and steer clear of the accident.

Oh, come on, Jeffrey.

Let's stop calling this an accident.

Your client ran over her boyfriend's wife.

Why don't you just hear what she has to say?

How long were you involved with the victim's husband?

I met Randy about a year ago

while we were waiting in line at Starbucks.

He just started talking to me and we became friends.

And when did that friendship become something more?

Not long after we met.

I knew I was falling in love.

- We both knew. - Let me guess.

He told you he loved you, but he loved his wife more

and you couldn't accept that, right?

No.

That's part of the cliche, Lisa.

They never leave the wife.

I am the wife.

Ray and I have been married for three months

and I have a license to prove it.

So much for the "I was loopy on cold medication

and lost control of my car defense."

No, I checked. They're definitely married.

How is that even possible?

I mean, how could they get the second license and everything?

There's no central database.

If they were married in a different county,

'it's not tracked.'

I guess being a traveling salesman has its upside.

Upside? I can barely deal with having one wife.

I can't imagine why he'd wanna have two.

Think he uses Viagra?

Prozac's more like it.

So where are we?

Lisa says she just happen to be in the parking lot

after a day of shopping when she saw Randy with Kate

'and thought he was having an affair.'

(Steve) 'Jeffrey's no schmuck.'

he'll paint her the cheated-on-wife

and then try to plea us down to manslaughter.

Actually, he wants us to go all the way down

to the original charge, reckless homicide.

He says his client didn't mean to kill anyone.

She just drove at them in a momentary rage

and tried to swerve away at the last minute.

She's still claiming this is an accident?

- You've gotta be kidding. - Yeah, well, that's her story.

And if the jury believes her, she could get out

in as little as two years. I want her for murder.

So we need to prove intent and planning.

I'll see if I can track down whoever called in

those plate numbers to the tip line.

Maybe they'll remember something else.

And find out how Mr. Stevens

was able to get away with living a double life.

(Annabeth) 'Good.'

if Lisa knew about the other wife

before that day at the mall

she's lying and we can make the case for murder.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna go pay a visit

to our friendly neighborhood bigamist.

Was this really necessary? The man just buried his wife.

One of his wives.

The innocent victim of his other wife.

You'll forgive me if my sympathy is a little tempered.

Charging him with bigamy isn't gonna change any of that.

He'll do six months and pay a fine

and for what, loving too much?

The charge stands.

And I don't believe for a second

that you didn't recognize Lisa was driving that night.

That's false reporting and obstruction of justice.

What do you want from my client?

The truth for a start.

When did Lisa learn that you were also married to Kate?

Don't answer that. We're done

you wanna push hard on the bigamy, fine.

Put a grieving husband through more hell.

I know you don't understand..

But I love them both.

When I met Lisa

I knew right away she was a wonderful woman

who hadn't been appreciated yet.

But I still loved Kate.

I didn't wanna leave her.

You gave Lisa a sham marriage.

But it wasn't. Nothing about it was a sham.

Love, honor, Cherish..

I meant every word.

No, no, no. This is about the hit-and-run.

I told you the tip was phoned in on the seventh, pal.

Hey, listen, we're all backed up.

Welcome to the club.

But I sent you a court order on this two days ago

and I want a copy of the tape asap!

Thank you.

- Jim jenson? - Yeah, that's me.

I'm associate prosecuting attorney sharpe.

Can I speak to you a minute?

This is about that case, isn't it?

- The appeal thing? - Yes, it is.

Listen, I'm just trying to do the right thing here, okay?

I don't want any more trouble.

You told the attorney for coles

that the prosecutor, Maureen Scofield

told you what to say at the original trial.

Yeah, I got busted for possession.

She said it would away if I said that I saw coles shoot that guy

the drug dealer. But it wasn't true.

I never saw anything like that.

Then why did you lie to the jury?

Because the prosecutor Scofield

said that if I didn't say exactly what she told me to

that she was gonna send me jail for drugs.

Were you there when coles allegedly committed this murder?

Yeah, I was there.

But I didn't see him do it.

I didn't see him shoot anybody.

I didn't see nothing.

Look, I lied to save my own skin

but I can't keep on lying.

There's an innocent man in prison.

Got it.

Hey.

(Annabeth) We still can't establish that Lisa knew

about the first wife before that night at the mall.

Pitts and I talked to coworkers, family.

Nothing to suggest that she was on to his two-timing.

So we can't prove she went there intending to kill Kate.

Who's your favorite investigator?

Is this a trick question?

I could be persuaded. Who do you got?

I finally tracked down our telephone tipster.

- And? Can he help us? - You might say that.

(Man on recorder) 'Yeah, that car that hit the poor lady'

'out at willowgate mall last week?'

'the plate number started with 3-4-b. I think... '

that sounds like Randy Stevens.

The one and only.

Our audio guys authenticated it.

- He was in on the murder? - Bring him in.

W-We don't have enough to charge him with conspiracy yet.

You can prove obstruction.

And I can prove perjury.

Let's get him.

Come on, Ms. Chase.

How many times you gonna to drag me down here?

This may do it.

You're gonna be staying with us for a little while.

You're under arrest for perjury and obstruction of justice.

You have the right to remain silent.

This is crazy. I want my lawyer. Call my lawyer.

(Pitts) '..Can and will be used against you..'

she murdered your wife right in front of you.

A few feet to the side, she would've killed you too.

Why call in anonymous tip?

When did helping the police become a bad thing?

He's the hero here.

Yeah, right.

He's a quality guy in ever way.

'You had to have recognized Lisa's car.'

it happened in a big public parking lot.

'I figured somebody must've seen what happened.'

and would turn her in. But nobody ever did.

The important thing is, you have the person

who did this in custody. And that's only thanks to my client.

Who has lied to me from day one.

I was ashamed.

Okay?

I felt responsible for breaking Lisa's heart

pushing her over the edge.

But she killed my sweet Kate.

And I..

I couldn't let her get away with murder.

- Hi, Steve. - Hey, annabeth.

Oh, how'd it go with Stevens?

Uh, he's still playing the grieving, innocent husband.

Every time I talk to him, he's got a new spin.

Figures he'd be good at the fine art of bs.

He didn't charm those ladies with his looks.

Well, he did admit that Lisa drove right at Kate.

That'll make it easier to prove it was definitely murder.

Why don't you tell her Randy's on our side on this.

Maybe she'll plead, save us the trouble and expense of a trial.

I'm on my way there right now.

I'm hoping I can get her to implicate Randy too.

I still think he was involved.

Okay, but you better hope she flips on him.

We don't have anything to prove he was involved

in the actual murder without her testimony.

I know, I'm having Danny take apart his finances

his work itinerary, motels, phone logs

rental cars, everything.

In the meantime

I'm gonna go toss the bait in the water for Lisa.

I'll let you know if she bites.

You might wanna consider a guilty plea at this point.

The court would take that into account during sentencing.

I told you, I-I didn't mean to hit her.

I was upset. That's all.

A jury will never believe that.

And I'll subpoena Randy.

He'll take the stand and say that you didn't try to avoid her

but that you deliberately ran down Kate Stevens.

But that's not true.

He'll testify that you already knew about Kate

and that you had threatened to kill her.

He won't do that.

Do you think he would lie for you, Lisa?

He's the one who turned you in.

No, I don't believe that.

You're just saying all this to scare me

and get me to say what you want me to, but I won't.

(Randy on tape) 'Yeah, that car that hit the poor lady'

'out at willowgate mall last week?'

'the plate number started with 3-4-b.'

'i think the last one was an r.'

'and, uh, it was a dynasty, blue.'

you might have gotten away with this whole thing

if it hadn't been for him.

Lisa, you are going to prison for murder.

If you confess now, it might not be for the rest of your life.

We'll get back to you.

[Instrumental music]

What's going on?

I spoke the lead attorney on the appeal.

They wanna talk to you on Thursday.

Since we're the good guys, we usually ask the questions

so I thought you should practice.

And I was able to get hold of this.

[Sighs] I give up.

What they're going after you with.

Evidently, at the time of the murder

there was a narcotics investigation going on

regarding the guy coles shot.

They are gonna say you were aware he was a rival dealer

and already knew the motive for killing

that you claimed jenson told you about.

Claim? It's not a claim.

It's true. I learned about it from jenson.

Anyway you can prove that?

I shouldn't have to prove it.

That is the first thing

they're gonna ask you under oath

and if you go off on them, forget it.

You might as well go up to Michigan city

and unlock coles' cell yourself.

Now I'm looking into jenson's situation to figure out

what possible motive he might have for changing his story.

'I am not abandoning you.'

you have to believe that.

[Instrumental music]

And you have no marriage information

on Randy Stevens prior to 1995?

Thank you.

County clerk's office, please.

If she tells you everything, we'll need

something big in exchange.

What you get depends on what I hear.

It wasn't my idea.

Randy said we could make it look like an accident

and then we'd have everything.

Insurance, inheritance, just the two of us.

He told where they'd be.

What time they'd leave the mall.

And he promised he'd give the wrong description

for the car.

He was gonna have fixed after, but he never did.

Randy said even if someone saw, and I got caught..

If I said I didn't mean to kill her

I'd only get a couple of years, and we'd be together again.

(Annabeth) 'Why would you go along with this?'

I mean, why would you even wanna be involved with a man

who was capable of murdering an innocent woman?

Somebody like you could never understand.

Meaning?

Not everybody looks like you.

I thought for sure I'd end up alone.

Always had been, so didn't have much choice, did I?

And then I met Randy.

He was nice to me. He listened to me.

He bought me flowers every week.

Told me that he loved me. He asked me to marry him.

I didn't want to be alone again.

Look, he clear preyed on her

manipulated her into doing his dirty work.

He's the real monster here.

She'll testify against him in exchange for a five-year term.

[Sighs] I don't care how victimized she was.

Doesn't compare to the woman who is lying in cemetery right now.

She may not have acted alone, but she killed someone.

Fifteen years minimum and she passes a polygraph or no deal.

Annabeth, I just found Randy Steven's first wife.

She was buried a week ago, Danny.

No, his first, first wife.

Mr. Stevens had another wife before Kate.

She's dead too.

'His first marriage was in 1990.'

- her name was Teresa. - Cause of death?

She was hiking on the bright angel trail

in the Grand Canyon and fell?

We're filing murder charges against Randy

for helping to plan Kate's death.

They could have gotten away with it.

Why did he turn in wife number two?

Well, we're checking to see if Kate had some life insurance

that he didn't wanna share with Lisa

so he tipped her as the killer.

'I'm pretty confident that's why his first wife took a header'

into the Grand Canyon 15 years ago

so he could get the insurance and move on to the next one.

How much did the first Mrs. Stevens leave behind?

Three hundred thousand dollars.

Randy was the sole beneficiary.

Unfortunately, everything about

the other dead wife is probably inadmissible.

I know, I know. That's why want the press all over this.

See if we can bring in any more information on this guy.

Good idea.

So, Lisa now claims she learned about Kate

one month ago at the hospital?

Yeah, Mr. Stevens checked into the hospital

for a procedure on his knee

and both wives came in to visit around the same time.

Which is when his carefully constructed double wife life

collapsed on itself.

Lisa says she saw Kate leaving his room.

When she confronted him, he immediately

'and conveniently declared his undying love for her'

and his heartfelt intention to end things with Kate.

The hospital records do show

that both women signed in and out

roughly the same time.

Randy's defense strategy will be to claim

that Lisa's making up everything about his involvement

because she's pissed at her two-timing pseudo-husband.

I'm pretty sure the jury will find him

even more despicable than they find her.

'They'll wanna believe her.'

Randy's attorney, Brianna Holden

just filed a motion to suppress.

To suppress what?

Lisa gilcrest's testimony against Randy Stevens.

- On what grounds? - Spousal privilege.

She can't testify against her own husband.

[Scoffs]

[Chuckles]

[Scoffs]

(Annabeth) 'This is nothing but a desperate end run, your honor.'

the second marriage wasn't valid.

He never divorced his first wife.

The spousal privilege simply doesn't apply.

The death of a spouse is sufficient grounds

to render a second marriage valid.

(Judge Ryker) 'Nice try, but you're forgetting the timetable here, counselor.'

the second marriage wasn't postdated

for after the killing and neither were

the communications you're trying to protect.

Regardless, the spousal privilege exists

to strengthen the bond of trust between couples.

This is joke, right?

I don't think your client can spell trust.

(Holden) 'Mr. Stevens certainly considers Lisa gilcrest to be his wife.'

there's no doubt they have the functional equivalent

of common-law marriage.

Which the state doesn't recognize.

(Holden) 'We're not asking for any state sanction.'

merely that the spirit of the notion remain.

To acknowledge the privacy

of interpersonal communication within a house hold.

The spirit of was violated

the moment your client said "I do" the second time.

The privilege is grounded in the sanctity of marriage.

Nothing about this guy respects that sanctity.

- May I finish? - I think I've heard enough.

I'm as big a fan of preserving the sanctity of marriage

as the next guy, Ms. Holden, but not here.

Your client is hubris incarnate.

And he is not going to hide behind the crime of bigamy

to help defend himself against the charge of murder.

- Your honor... - 'sorry.'

he's gonna have face her in court.

[Instrumental music]

Excuse me? You're Kate's mother.

I'm annabeth chase. We met at the arraignment.

- Are you okay? - Yeah.

I thought I wanted to be here for this.

- Thought I could do it. - It's alright.

I can't believe Randy would do this.

I'm so sorry.

I was so happy when Kate finally found someone.

Maybe..

I should have looked harder.

No, you couldn't have know, and Kate couldn't have known.

He's gonna pay for this, I promise.

Yes.

And this was a month before Kate Stevens was killed?

That's right.

That's when Randy told me he was also married to her.

But he said he was leaving Kate to be with me

because he realized he loved me more.

Ms. Gilcrest, divorce is one thing, but why kill her?

He said she refused to give him up.

That she would take everything

humiliate him, ruin his life.

And they throw him and me in jail for bigamy.

And you believed him?

Yeah.

He said they'd never figure it out.

If it was dark and he lied about the car

it would be perfect.

Nothing further.

Ms. Gilcrest

when you learned that my client was the one

who turned you into the police, were you surprised?

Yes.

(Holden) 'Because you were in love with him?'

- yes. - 'Were you hurt?'

of course.

And is it fair to say you were angry?

I was shocked. I couldn't believe it.

Yes. I was angry.

(Holden) 'But you didn't say anything about him being involved'

'until you heard that tape, correct?'

and that's when you decided to get back at him

by implicating him in the murder that you committed.

- No. No! - 'Your honor, please.'

- she's badgering the witness. - Sustained.

- Was anyone else in the car? - No.

And it was only your foot on the gas pedal?

Of course.

And where was Mr. Stevens at the time?

Standing beside the victim, holding her hand.

He was nearly killed himself, yet you want us to believe

he was part of this whole thing?

This is irrelevant and prejudicial.

Opposing counsel seems to have forgotten

'that a co-conspirator to a murder'

need not be the trigger man or the driver in this case.

I withdraw the question.

[Instrumental music]

- How's the trial going? - Could be better.

Lisa took a bit of a beating on the stand today.

I'm sure you're doing fine.

With it just being her word against his

it leaves an awful lot of room for reasonable doubt.

Yeah, I heard about Ryker not allowing you

to mention his first dead wife to the jury.

Do you really think he murdered her too?

Well, I did at first, but that theory didn't pan out.

'There were witnesses to her fall'

so it really was an accident.

But we also found out that when he got the insurance payoff

he went on a spending spree for the next few years.

Uh, cars, travel, nice restaurants.

Yeah? Looks like his finances were getting low

the last couple years.

Exactly. See, I think he'd grown accustomed

to a certain lifestyle.

And then he remembered how much he enjoyed

that big death benefit.

So he staged an accident for Kate.

I guess some people don't believe in divorce.

Makes you wonder what they all saw in this guy.

I don't think it's what they saw in him.

I think it's what he saw in them.

The loneliness, the vulnerability.

He's a psychological predator.

Well, it looks like he always gets rid of one

as soon as he's found the next.

And by turning Lisa in, this time he's getting rid of

two of them at once.

But that's what worries me, Maureen.

Who is next?

Annabeth, there's, uh, someone here to see you.

- Who? - Ah, I don't know.

She said it's about the Stevens trial.

Okay.

Can I help you?

Um, it's about this trial for Randy Stevens.

They said that you were the one to talk to.

Yes, I'm prosecuting the case.

Do you know Mr. Stevens?

I'm his fiancee.

Please state your full name for the record.

Nancy Jean bilkens.

- 'Where do you live?' - Valparaiso, Indiana.

'Um, it's two and a half hours northwest of here.'

Nancy, what made you decide to come forward?

My mom called me at work yesterday.

She said, "Nancy, I just saw your fiance on the news."

She said, "you're never gonna believe this

'but Randy's on trial for murder."'

I kept asking, "my Randy? For murder?"

I bought a copy of "the courier"

and there was a whole article about him.

So you knew nothing about Randy Stevens' other wives?

No. My lord.

I thought I was the only woman in Randy's life.

I mean, he gave me a ring.

He even got down on one knee and everything.

Did the defendant tell you

whether he'd ever been married before?

Yes. One time before.

He said his wife had died and that he was a widower.

Did he tell you how she died?

He said that she was killed by a hit-and-run driver.

And when did he tell you that?

When we first met, six months ago.

Nothing further.

Your witness, Ms. Holden.

Isn't it true that your mother conducted a paid interview

with a gossip magazine this morning?

She might have. I don't know.

Did you know your mother was paid $2000

for selling your story?

She didn't tell me anything about that.

- Do you live with your mother? - Yes.

So you stand to financially benefit

from your testimony today, don't you?

Objection, speculation.

It is not speculation, your honor

that the witness's family is out Hawking her story

'to the highest bidder and the jury needs to know that.'

I'll allow it.

Permission to redirect the witness, your honor.

Granted.

Nancy, do you have a life insurance policy?

I do now.

I bought insurance after I got engaged.

(Annabeth) 'Why?'

because Randy said that's what married couples do.

He said that we need to plan for our future together.

How much did Randy Stevens tell you

to have your life insured for?

One million dollars.

And who inherits that money in the event of your death?

Randy does.

Was I next?

- 'Objection.' - 'sustained.'

(annabeth) 'No further questions.'

[instrumental music]

Knock-knock.

Is that it?

I think so. Took a little digging.

They're only half-brothers

so they don't have the same last name.

You gonna clue me in on what it's all about?

I already told you everything, and I talked to my lawyer

and he said I shouldn't say anything unless he's here.

Mr. Jenson, you have a younger brother, Samuel, correct?

He was recently sentenced for four years for armed robbery?

He doesn't have anything do with this.

He's got everything to do with this.

He's scheduled to serve his time in Michigan city

the same prison as Reggie coles.

Man, so what? That doesn't mean anything.

Your testimony put coles in prison

for murder five years ago.

Now your little brother is serving at the same prison.

There will be reprisals.

They will make your brother pay

for your testifying against coles.

- That's why you're recanting. - Look, leave me alone.

You can't prove any of that.

You were fighting for your brother's life

well, I am fighting for one of my best prosecutors.

This is her career. This is her life.

And it's all going down the drain because of your lie.

Now you work with me, and I will help your brother.

But if you continue to lie about this

I swear to god, you'll both go to Michigan city.

No one would listen to me.

I tried to talk to the police, the warden and the judge.

Nobody cared about my little brother.

Now, coles' people made it clear

that they would kill Sam in prison

if I didn't take back my original statement.

He's just a kid. He got into trouble.

He shouldn't have to pay for my messed up life

not with his own.

(Holden) Randy Stevens is guilty of bigamy.

But that doesn't make him a killer.

Lisa gilcrest murdered her rival all by herself.

And when Randy Stevens realized what Lisa had done

he called the police and he turned her in

because he wanted justice for Kate.

Randy made mistakes.

He's a lothario.

But he isn't a murderer.

Does the prosecution wish to rebut?

Yes, your honor.

We know who was driving the car that killed Kate Stevens.

Lisa gilcrest was vulnerable..

And selfish.

And in the end vicious.

And she's going to jail for that.

But she didn't act alone.

This wasn't even her idea.

This was a team effort, ladies and gentlemen

led by Randy Stevens.

The defense has told us

that his only crime is loving too many women.

But the defendant isn't capable of loving anyone but himself.

'He is a narcissist and a user.'

he preyed on women who needed his attention

and who in turn inflated his own self-image.

He used them for his own ego.

He used them for money.

And when he was done with them

he used them to kill each other.

That isn't love.

That's murder.

They withdrew the appeal.

I heard.

They didn't have much of a choice, thanks to you.

I also heard we're not pressing

any charges against jenson for lying.

Only if that's okay with you.

Yeah, it is. There's no point in that now.

And they're gonna relocate the brother.

He'll do his time plainfield instead.

It'll also make it easier for jenson to go see him.

Good. That's good.

Thank you.

No problem.

You'd do the same for me.

I would.

It is my understanding that the jury has reached a verdict

'is that correct?'

yes, your honor.

'State of Indiana versus Randy Stevens'

'"we the jury, find the defendant guilty'

'of the crime of murder. A felony."'

'the court now enters judgment of conviction.'

'sentencing is set for two weeks from today.'

'the defendant is remanded to the custody'

'of the Marion county sheriff.'

I just wanted to thank you.

He might have gotten away with it

if you hadn't come forward.

I hope he never gets out.

Well, he'll do at least 25 years.

For a guy like that, locked away from women he can use

it's worse than torture.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah.

I mean, I feel like a fool

for thinking that he was the one.

No, you can't blame yourself.

He's a sociopath.

I'm just thankful I found out

before he got tired of me, too, you know?

Me, too.

I know you'll find someone who deserves you.

Someone you can trust.

Well, the trust part might take some time.

Meanwhile, I'm thinking of pawning the ring he gave me

and taking a couple friends to Vegas.

[Laughs]

Well, I think that's a very good plan.

We, um... Thank you for everything.
