In the criminal
justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate
yet equally important groups,

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

No, no. Party was great.

Epic, really.

I just had to be up early
for work.

I'll call you back.

Hey, bro.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Why don't you come back
from over there?

Let's--let's talk
for a minute, huh?

Leave me alone.

I can't walk away
if I think somebody needs help.

So why don't you humor me, huh?

What's your name?

Bill.

Bill Johnson.

OK, Bill.

I'm not worth it.

A freaking failure,
that's what I am.

- No.
- Don't waste your time.

I got all the time
in the world, Bill.

We both do.

Now, why do you think
you're a failure, huh?

Look, leave me alone.

Somebody make you
that bracelet?

You got kids?

I have a son.

He's all I got.

I'm all he's got.

Crap luck for him.

No, no, no, no.
Hey, don't say that.

He needs you
to be there for him.

Trust me, I know.

I was raised by a single dad.

That man was my hero.

Even if he didn't know it.

He used to talk about
tough times.

Times I'd have to push through.

We all have days like this,
Bill.

So now what
I'm gonna ask you to do

is give me your hand,

and you and I can
get through this one together.

For your son.

Please.

OK.

There you go. Come on.

All right, OK.

All right. There we go.

All right.

Good man.

Oh.

That's good. All right.

I'm gonna call somebody to get
you some help, all right?

No.

I have to get home.

I just want to make sure
you're OK.

Please.

I'm OK.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I wasn't gonna jump.

I'm just...

having a really

rough time.

OK, Listen,

if you're ever

having a rough time
like that again,

you give me a call
instead of that.

You're a cop?

I am.

If you need help,
I can make some calls.

That's what I'm here for.

Thanks.

I appreciate you.

Get home safe.

Yeah.

Hey, partner.

Hey.

Got a little extra
beauty rest this morning?

I wish.

I, um,

ran into a jumper
on the way here.

You mean like
a jumper jumper?

Like a jumper jumper.

Whoa.

How did that go?
You talk him down?

Yeah.

This guy was really struggling.

I wasn't sure which way
it was gonna play out.

How'd you do it?

Just tried to connect.

How you doing? You OK?

I need you both to head over
to Mercy General right away.

- Why, what's up?
- Active shooter.

- At the hospital?
- Emergency room.

Mobile command center
is on its way.

I'll see you over there.

Out of the frying pan,
into the inferno.

Fire.

Out of the frying pan,
into the fire.

Either way,
this day just got worse.

What do we got?

Witnesses say
the shooter fled on foot.

Sergeant ordered
a level one mobilization.

All available units are out
covering a 10-block radius.

- How many victims?
- One dead.

Over here, a doctor,

Bryan Jeffers, age 45.

Ooh.

Took one to the chest, huh?

And one to the back.

Somebody wanted him dead.

- Any other casualties?
- Nurse.

She's in surgery.
Shot in the gut.

Hasn't given a statement yet.

How many shots in total?

We found four casings,
all from a .380.

Any video?

Hospital security said
they can't release the footage

without the OK
from their legal department.

Privacy laws or something.

Well, mobile command's
pulling footage

from the street cams.

Dixon can check in with them.

Yeah.

Anybody get a look
at the shooter?

He was wearing a mask
and hoodie.

Best witness
is the admitting nurse.

Thank you.

The guy just walked right in,

went right past me.

I tried to stop him until--

until I saw he had the gun.

What did he look like?

Maybe 5'8", 5'9",

Black, wearing a dark hoodie

and a surgical mask.

Did it seem to you like
he was targeting anyone?

I heard him yelling
at Dr. Jeffers.

Did it seemed like
he knew Jeffers?

Like, he--he actually
used his name?

It sounded personal.

Like--like he had
some kind of beef with him.

- Do you remember what he said?
- No.

I-I just got on the floor.

I was scared. We all were.

- Of course.
- What else was--

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, ma'am.
- Ma'am, no. stop.

- Let me through!
- Hey, Doctor.

This is a restricted area.
Doctor!

Bryan!

That's Dr. Jeffers' wife.

Bryan!

Keep the streets blocked off
and divert all patients.

No one in or out of the area.

As far as we know,
this shooter is still armed.

We think the shooter may have
been targeting your husband.

Do you have any idea
who might have done this?

Patient or colleague maybe?

Last night,

Bryan said he had a run-in

with a new security guard.

Security guard?
What kind of run-in?

Caught the guy
stealing pills.

Had him fired on the spot.

Did he threaten your husband?

Bryan said he swore at him,
threw things.

They had to call the police
to get him out.

- Do you know this man's name?
- No.

But you can ask
the security office.

Anything from
the traffic cams?

Not yet.

But the hospital sent over
info on that security guard

who had the run-in
with Jeffers yesterday.

His name is Terrence Lamont.

Date of birth,
November 16, 1976.

He's 5'10".

Does he have a rap sheet?

No convictions.

Does have a carry permit.

- A .380?
- Yeah.

And it looks like
hospital security filed

a supplemental report
this morning,

one hour before
shots were fired.

Lamont was trying to get back
into the hospital.

All right, text his address
to Riley and Shaw.

I'm gonna call and try
and get a search warrant.

Terrence Lamont, open up.

NYPD.

Terrence Lamont?
- Yeah. What the hell?

- Arrest warrant. Come here.
- What?

Turn around.

You got any weapons on you?
- Stay up there.

Where's your gun?

The .380, where is it?

- I want a lawyer.
- Good.

You can call him
from the precinct.

Let's go.

My client had nothing
to do with that shooting.

Yeah, you were pretty pissed
at Dr. Jeffers

about calling the police.

Yeah, I was.

Those doctors think
they walk on water.

But I didn't kill anyone.

We know you have a .380
registered in your name.

We checked your apartment,
we didn't find it.

Where's the gun?

Stolen. Two months ago.

My client filed a report
with Rochester PD.

Their records will confirm.

All right,
we'll check up on that.

I was hoping we might
work something out here.

My client has
some information to trade.

We're all ears.
What do you know?

- First--
- I was talking to him.

Let's discuss dismissing
the stolen drug

and assault charges
from the hospital--

If you know something
about the shooting,

you tell us right now.

When I was leaving
the hospital, on the way home,

waiting at the bus stop,

I saw a man running.

Threw a gun in his backpack.

What'd this guy look like?

Does that mean we got a deal?

If his info checks out,

then we will call
the DA's office.

Come on, brother,
help yourself.

5'9",

Black,

in a hoodie
wearing a paper surgical mask.

When he put the gun away,
he took the mask off,

threw it in a grate.

Exact location.

So we got a call
from Rochester PD.

Lamont's stolen gun story
checks out.

All right, what about
the guy with the backpack?

Did you find the mask
that he ditched?

Unis found it
exactly where Lamont said

it was gonna be.

All right,
we'll have it tested for DNA.

Where are we at with
the hospital video footage?

Any progress?

No, the lawyers are still
refusing to give it up.

Call over to the DA's office.

Let's get Maroun on this.
- OK.

There is a killer
on the loose,

and the hospital security video
can help police

identify and apprehend him.

Mercy employees were injured
in the shooting.

The hospital wants to help
law enforcement.

Great.
Then give us the video.

We can't.
HIPAA laws don't allow it.

There are exceptions
to the law.

Not when it comes
to videotape

that will expose the identities
of dozens of patients.

The hospital can redact
individual faces.

Chanko versus American
Broadcasting Companies.

The Appeals Court opinion
was very clear,

the release of video
with blurred faces

and altered voices
still violates HIPAA.

Unfortunately, Ms. Maroun,
I have no choice

but to deny your request
for access to the video.

What about
surveillance footage

from outside the hospital?

There is no reasonable
expectation of privacy there.

Send Maroun a fruit basket.

Why, what do you got?

Two minutes
after shots were fired,

a Black man in a hoodie
and surgical mask

bolts out of the yard
and heads north.

It picked him up again here.

- Is that a gun?
- Looks like it.

And check it out, there's some
kind of logo on his backpack.

St. Francis.

It's a boys school
up on 136th Street.

My kids have some friends
that go there.

136, that's a few blocks
from Mercy General.

Is our shooter a kid?

We have ten students
named Daniel.

Any of them absent today
or missing from class?

All checked in on time.

Wait, wait.

No. One boy is out.

We'll need his last name.

Cartwright.
Daniel Cartwright, 11th grader.

11th grade.
So he's what, 17?

16.

He's a good student.

Pretty unusual
for him to miss a day.

Can we see a picture
of this kid?

On the right. 7.

NYPD, open up.

Detectives, open up!

What is going--oh, my God!

We have a warrant
to search the premises.

I don't--I don't understand.

What is happening?

Your son Daniel, is he here?

My--

Daniel is my nephew.

He's here. What is this about?

Daniel,
where are your parents?

My mom, she--

His--his mother,

my sister-in-law Nora,

she died yesterday.

What happened?

She was pregnant.

And she had just entered
her third trimester.

A few days ago, she started
experiencing sharp pains.

My brother took her
to the hospital.

Was she treated
at Mercy General?

Yes. She got home.

Her pains got worse.

Yesterday,
she went into early labor.

She died on the way
to the hospital.

Her and the baby.

Daniel, I can see how that
would make you very upset.

Is that why you went
to the hospital this morning?

The hospital?
I didn't go there.

No, he's been here
with me all morning.

We found this in the closet.

It's empty.

That's for a .380.

Daniel, we need your honesty
right now.

Where's the gun?

It belongs to my dad.

That's your dad's gun?

Were you aware that he had
a firearm in the house?

No.

Do you happen to know if your
dad had a permit for that gun?

Daniel.

Is this your father?

What's his name?

Kenneth.

Where is he right now?

He called me early.

He wanted me to be here
with Daniel.

Asked to borrow my car.

I need the plates right now.

We need an APB
on a beige Chevy.

License 239
Alpha Charlie Delta Tango.

You all right?

Not really.

Guy in the photo,
Kenneth Cartwright,

that's the jumper
from this morning.

He must have given me
a fake name.

That's the guy?

Yeah.

I talked him out
of killing himself

just so he can waltz into Mercy
and shoot up the damn ER.

All right, thank you.

Mercy General just confirmed

Dr. Jeffers was the one
who did the evaluation

on Cartwright's wife.

Hey, this is not on you,
man, all right?

You did what you thought
was right in the moment.

If I had just called
for a bus when I first saw him,

insisted that he be seen
by a doctor,

Jeffers' wife would not be
casket shopping right now.

Hey, do not do that
to yourself.

That's hindsight. Let it go.

Yeah, Lieu, you get a hit
on the plate?

Not yet,
but the second victim,

the ER nurse who was shot,
she's awake.

- She talking?
- Better than that.

She already picked out
Cartwright's photo

from a six pack.

- Great.
- Yeah.

But she keeps saying
she's worried

that he's gonna kill
somebody else.

- What do you mean?
- I don't know.

She's in the ICU.

She's on a lot of painkillers.

She just keeps saying,
he's gonna shoot somebody else.

So I need you to get over there
as soon as you can

and find out what the hell
she's talking about.

Yeah, copy that.

I'm sorry.
I'm still feeling so foggy.

I understand.

But this is important, OK?

Why do you think
he's gonna kill again?

Just tell us
what you remember.

I was talking to Dr. Jeffers,

about to check in on a patient,

when Nora Cartwright's husband
came in.

What did he do?

He pointed the gun
at Dr. Jeffers.

And he... just started shooting.

Dr. Jeffers got shot
in the back, fell to the floor,

and...

the man just shot him
again in the chest.

How did you get shot?

I think a bullet ricocheted
off something

and hit me in the stomach.

And did Mr. Cartwright
say anything

after he shot Jeffers?

He said,
"You killed my wife."

And then he yelled out loud,
"Where's the other doctor?"

Wait, what doctor?

Who else was responsible
for Nora Cartwright's care?

Dr. Jeffers did the eval
with Dr. Edison.

Mark Edison.

Oh, wait, text from Yee.

She got a hit on the plate.

His car's about two blocks
from Edison's house

on 136th Street.

Slow down, buddy.

Stop sign! Whoa.

Jalen!

12 o'clock, there he is.

I got him.

We got a 10-13.

Suspect armed.
Riverside 138.

2-7 Squad, suspect is heading
to the westbound

service road near 135 Street.

I'm in pursuit.

Hey, you put that down!

Kenneth, put the gun down!

Do not give them a reason.

No. Hey, hey, hey, hey.

There's only one
good choice here.

- Oh, my God.
- Think about your son.

You.

Right now, he's at home
with your sister,

Deborah, safe and sound.

Do not make him an orphan,
you hear me?

He needs you.

Now, you take that gun
and you toss it.

Toss the gun.

You toss it.

Good man.

Now put your hands
behind your head.

Hands behind your head.

Turn around.

Walk to me slowly.

Didn't have to be this way,
Kenneth.

You know what they did
to my wife, my baby.

An eye for an eye.

What'd you say?

An eye for an eye.

They killed Nora,
so I killed them.

You have the right
to remain silent--

I killed them.
I killed them.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You good?

Calling docket
ending in 6709,

People versus
Kenneth Cartwright.

How do you plead, sir?

My client pleads not guilty,
Your Honor.

Question of bail?

The defendant walked
into a hospital emergency room

and opened fire.

Shot and killed a dedicated
and renowned physician

and seriously injured a nurse.

We have a strong case,

including an eyewitness and DNA
from the mask he was wearing.

We seek remand.

Mr. Dressler?

My client's an electrician
with no prior record.

And the People's case
isn't as strong

as they would have you believe.

When Detective Shaw
arrested the defendant,

he was holding
the murder weapon.

He also confessed
to Detective Shaw.

The defendant is remanded.

Next case.

Dr. Jeffers.

Tell us about your husband.

He was a good man.

A loving husband, devoted dad,

and a hell of a physician.

He worked in the emergency
room at Mercy General?

For 12 years.

It was his dream job.

He thrived there.

Even with all the tragedy
and chaos.

He cared deeply
for all his patients.

Is this when you last saw
your husband, Dr. Jeffers?

Yes.

Suffering from two
gunshot wounds,

one to the back,
one to the chest?

Yes.

Thank you.

Your witness.

Your husband,
the dedicated doctor

who cared deeply
for his patients,

spent a total of six minutes

evaluating Kenneth Cartwright's
wife, Nora.

He ignored or dismissed
her obvious symptoms

and failed to diagnose
her preeclampsia.

Unfortunately,
the misdiagnosis

is a common mistake.

More common
when the patient is Black.

Objection.
Argumentative.

No foundation.

The witness is
a medical doctor.

Go ahead.

Did you know that
Black women in New York

are nine times
more likely to die

of pregnancy-related
complications than white women?

I--

my husband treated all patients
with dignity.

Your husband made
the same misdiagnosis

with two other patients.

Both were Black women.

One of them also died.

There's no dignity in that.

I understand, but...

he also helped a lot of women.

As a practicing physician,
did you also know

that the systemic neglect
of women of color

in a hospital setting has
become a public health crisis?

That the Black maternal
death rate

is more than double that
of white women?

Your Honor, relevance?

Counsel, approach.

Mr. Dressler,
what are you doing?

Educating the jury
about racial injustice

in the health care system.

How is that even
remotely relevant?

Mr. Price has a point.

We plan to change our plea.

To what?

Not guilty
by reason of insanity.

Insanity?

What's
the underlying condition?

Race-based traumatic stress.

Oh.

Do you have an expert
prepared to testify?

- Yes.
- An expert in racial trauma?

I have never heard
of this condition

being used in an insanity case.

There's a first time
for everything.

I'm granting
the defense's request.

You may present an insanity
defense, Mr. Dressler.

- Your Honor.
- Step back, Mr. Price.

Yes, Senator.

OK.

I appreciate that.

Goodbye.

Heavy is the head
that wears the crown,

Mr. Acting District Attorney.

As far as I'm concerned,
the governor can't name

Jack's replacement soon enough.

I can't believe
he's really gone.

End of an era.

Yeah.

He was...

amazing.

Yeah.

I hope you come
bearing good news.

I, um,

reviewed the defendant's
discovery.

He's got
a well-documented history.

Years of race-based trauma
and abuse.

What do you mean?

Police reports show
that he was

racially profiled five times.

Stopped on the street,
pulled over in his car,

followed around
by store security

for no legitimate reason.

He spent a weekend in jail for
suspicion of drug trafficking.

They arrested him
in front of his son.

He had to spend five grand
for a lawyer,

and the charges were
eventually dropped.

I could go on.
- No need. I get the idea.

And the final straw was
the doctor's mistreatment

of his pregnant wife.

I get it.

But?

It doesn't excuse or justify
what Cartwright did.

No, but it sure gives

his actions some context.

And the jury might find it
to be a mitigating factor.

What are you suggesting?

I think we should offer
a plea, diminished capacity.

It was a premeditated murder.

The facts suggest that--

That he was suffering, Nolan.

His wife and baby
had just died.

I'm not saying
we should let him walk.

I'm saying we should show
some compassion

for what the man went through.

We're prepared to offer
Man One,

15 years.

No.

I can't do 15 years.

With good behavior,
you'll be out in 12.

Would you consider seven?

Ten is the best I can do.

OK.

But only if it's
home confinement.

That's not how this works.

You have to serve your sentence
in a prison.

Like I said, I can't.

Hold on a minute, Kenneth.

Let's--let's hear him out.

I have a son.

His mother just died.

I need to be around
so I don't lose him too.

Your son can visit you
in prison.

Look, I know
it's not the same thing,

but...

it's a generous offer.

I agree.

It's a good offer.

The only reason
we're willing to do this

is because we know
what you went through.

I appreciate it.

But I want my son

to know that I fought for him,

for what's left of our family.

So I'd rather roll the dice

and hope the jury realizes
I'm a good person...

who just did a stupid thing

because I was crazy that day.

I guess we'll see you
in court.

I feel terrible
about what I did.

I wish I could take it back.

Why did you do it?

I wasn't in my right mind.

Please tell the members
of the jury

what you mean by that.

I have taken a lot
over the course of my life.

A woman sees me
in the elevator,

says she's gonna wait
for the next car.

I smile

and tell her
to have a nice day.

A taxi driver won't stop
to pick me up.

I wait for the next one.

And then there's the promotions
I've lost,

the jobs I didn't get.

But when it came...

To my wife...

my baby...

I couldn't see past it.

They were--

it was too much.

What do you mean by that?

The way
those doctors treated her--

Ignored her problems,

her symptoms.

Told her the pain
was in her head

like she was stupid.

Like she didn't matter.

The day they died,

my mind was just... spinning.

My heart was beating
really fast.

I knew I had to do something.

I wanted to kill myself.

But then I went

and did what I did.

Nothing further.

On the morning of the murder,

your son, Daniel, was home?

Yes.

Did you speak with him?

Did you check
that he was all right?

I did.

And you had a conversation
with your sister?

You asked her to come over,
sit with your son?

Yes.

'Cause you were
going to Mercy General

and you didn't want Daniel
to be alone.

That's right.

Right.

You had a plan.

I don't know.
I just sort of did things.

Did things?

Like retrieve your gun

from your bedroom closet,

then head down
to Mercy General,

looked for Dr. Jeffers,
then started shooting?

Yeah, I guess so.

All those things required
clear and lucid thought,

as did putting on a mask and
a hoodie to disguise yourself.

I don't know.

I just did it.

Then--

then you shot Dr. Jeffers

in the back and in the chest.

And then you set out
to find Dr. Edison.

But I didn't find him.

I was glad
those detectives stopped me.

Yes.

We are all glad about that.

I have nothing further.

Call your next witness,
Mr. Dressler.

Race-based trauma stress,
also known as RBTS,

is the fraternal twin

of post-traumatic
stress disorder.

What causes it?

Those suffering
from the condition

have experienced or seen
those close to them experience

some form of racism.

Discriminatory practices,
hate crimes.

What are the symptoms?

Like PTSD,
symptoms run the gamut.

Depression,
difficulty sleeping,

anxiety, loss of appetite,

headaches, crying spells.

Suicidal ideation?

Yes.

Did you conduct a forensic
examination of my client?

I did.

His scores on the race-based
trauma stress symptom scale

were clinically significant.

He met all the criteria
for PTSD

with dissociative symptoms.

In your medical opinion,

did years of race-based trauma

and the triggering shock
of his wife and baby's death

interfere with his ability

to distinguish
right from wrong?

That is my opinion, yes.

RBTS is not recognized
by the DSM V,

the diagnostic bible for
mental health professionals,

is it?
- Not yet.

So that's a no?

But it has been recognized

by the National Institutes
of Health,

the National Center for PTSD,

and the American
Psychological Association.

And it is widely accepted
by members

of the psychiatric community.

You didn't examine
the defendant until this week,

is that correct?
- That's correct.

So you have no idea
what condition he was in

on the day of the murder.

I only know
what he related to me.

Thank you.

Nothing further.

- Hey, Jalen.
- Hey.

What are you doing here?

I need you to testify
as a rebuttal witness

first thing in the morning.

To say what?

That Cartwright was coherent,

that he was able to communicate
rational thought.

The man tried to kill himself
twice, Nolan.

I know.

A person can be depressed
or angry

and still not fit
the definition of insanity.

In order to be legally insane,

a person has to be unable
to understand the wrongfulness

of their conduct.
- I know.

I'm a lawyer too.
- OK, so--

Race-based trauma is real,
Nolan.

Cartwright was going through
a lot of pain.

He was in pain.

Real pain.

He had just lost his wife,
his baby.

He needed help.

If I had known he was
going through that,

I should have got him--

Is that what this is about?

Your guilt?

This is about the fact
that that man

does not deserve to spend
the rest of his life in prison.

I offered him a deal.

He turned it down.
What else can I do?

Stipulate
to his mental illness.

Let him go
to a psychiatric hospital.

He committed a premeditated,

cold-blooded murder,
an act of revenge.

And--and he told you
why he did it.

An eye for an eye.

A legally insane man
would never say that.

I'm not sure
that I remember it that way.

Excuse me?

We talked about this,

and you told me
that is what he said.

I can't help you, Nolan.

Sorry.

Detective.

I thought you might say that.

I will see you in the morning.
- Oh, no.

Thank you.

Thanks, Steve.

So Price slapped me
with a subpoena.

Well, you didn't give him
much choice, did you?

Hmm.

What's your plan?

Cartwright was not
in his right mind

when he did what he did.

That man was past
his breaking point.

And I get why he did it.

Oh, don't get me wrong,
I don't agree

with what he did, obviously.

I just get why he did it.

It's the years
of being dismissed

and ignored

and mistreated.

Does a number on you, man.

I can't even imagine.

You know, last year,

this white cop thought
I was a murder suspect.

So what did he do?
He put his gun to my head.

Tells me to get on my knees.

And I try to tell him,
"I'm a detective.

I'm on the job."
I try to show him my badge.

It--

son of a bitch
could have killed me.

And what's worse is,
the department,

our department, takes his side.

What?

Yeah.

Disciplines me for failing
to submit to his command.

I had never felt rage
like that in my life.

I--I--

I wanted to hurt somebody.

I'm not proud of that.

And it's not just the police.

It's not just the hospitals.

It's everybody.
It's everywhere.

It's the DMV.

It's the hotels.

It's the restaurants.
It's the banks.

It's--

imagine,

your... success,

your safety, your security,

your survival,

depends on

the baggage that somebody else
projects onto you.

Or how you make them feel
about themselves.

I mean...

That's the part
that wears you down.

Man, I hear you.

I do.

Just don't lose sight
of the fact

that an innocent man,

a doctor, was killed.

Yeah.

You're a cop, Jalen.

You're a cop.

If you're not gonna show up
and tell the truth, then...

you're in the wrong profession,
my friend.

You know, Riley, I'm really
starting to like you.

And I appreciate
your perspective.

I do.

But with all due respect,

you have no idea
what you're talking about.

And you should just be grateful
that you never will.

Detective Shaw, did you have
occasion to see the defendant

an hour before the shooting?

I did.

He was suicidal.

Almost jumped
into the East River.

Tell us about
your conversation.

He said that he felt
like a failure.

That he let people down.

I wasn't aware of it
at the time,

but I think he was talking
about what happened

to his wife
and his unborn child.

Did he appear to be coherent?

We were able to communicate.

You were able
to reason with him?

I asked him about his family,
if he had kids.

And this struck
a chord with him?

I believe so.

He--he mentioned he had a son.

Daniel.

And eventually, he calmed down
and said he wanted to go home

and be with him.

Sounds like a man
who can understand

the consequences
of his actions.

Objection.
Counsel's editorializing.

Sustained.

When you went to arrest
the defendant,

he fled.

Correct?

Yes.

So he knew
that he was guilty.

I suppose.

And he still had the gun
with him

when you placed him
under arrest?

Yes, he did.

And after you arrested him,
what did he say to you?

Detective Shaw,

what did the defendant
say to you?

He said it was
an eye for an eye.

So what he did

was intentional?

Killing Dr. Jeffers was
an act of willful revenge?

I can't speak to that.

I can testify to what he said.

"An eye for an eye."

Thank you.

Nothing further.

Has the jury
reached a verdict?

We have, Your Honor.

In the matter of People
versus Kenneth Cartwright,

how do you find?

We find the defendant

guilty of murder
in the second degree.

No. No.

Members of the jury,
thank you for your service.

You are excused.
