Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:03,307 --> 00:00:06,093
I became a police officer in the
city of Parkland
2
00:00:06,136 --> 00:00:07,964
and I loved it.
3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:10,097
MIKE:
I'll tell you why, because
putting on a gun and a shield
4
00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,447
again reversed everything
for me.
5
00:00:13,404 --> 00:00:16,103
I was back in society.
6
00:00:16,146 --> 00:00:19,149
It's a miracle, a miracle.
7
00:00:20,107 --> 00:00:22,587
LIZ:
It would be nice to see
his partner also exonerated.
8
00:00:24,111 --> 00:00:25,503
That would be another miracle.
9
00:00:30,943 --> 00:00:33,685
BOB:
The court's response to it was
one sentence.
10
00:00:33,729 --> 00:00:35,557
We've reviewed
11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,776
this new information
12
00:00:37,820 --> 00:00:40,301
that was not given
13
00:00:40,344 --> 00:00:42,477
to Mr. Davis.
14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,349
However, we don't think that it
would have changed
15
00:00:45,393 --> 00:00:47,699
the outcome of the decision.
16
00:00:49,179 --> 00:00:51,703
That is how they summed it up.
17
00:00:51,747 --> 00:01:03,367
[♪♪♪]
18
00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:07,067
NORM:
Chuck Brega had a little bit of
the impeachment evidence
19
00:01:07,110 --> 00:01:09,852
on Terry D'Prero, just based on
inconsistencies,
20
00:01:11,201 --> 00:01:14,117
but he didn't have, you know,
21
00:01:14,161 --> 00:01:16,119
organic brain disorder,
22
00:01:16,163 --> 00:01:17,903
pathological liar,
23
00:01:19,514 --> 00:01:22,256
the actual documented lies
24
00:01:22,299 --> 00:01:23,909
in Terry D'Prero's past,
25
00:01:23,953 --> 00:01:26,390
whether he was lying about his
military service,
26
00:01:26,434 --> 00:01:28,958
whatever it was.
27
00:01:29,001 --> 00:01:31,221
When you get these documented
lies,
28
00:01:31,265 --> 00:01:33,354
that's gold for a defense
lawyer,
29
00:01:33,397 --> 00:01:34,833
when you just walk them
through.
30
00:01:34,877 --> 00:01:35,530
You lied about this.
31
00:01:35,573 --> 00:01:36,313
You lied about this.
32
00:01:36,357 --> 00:01:37,009
You lied about this.
33
00:01:37,053 --> 00:01:38,794
You lied about this.
34
00:01:38,837 --> 00:01:40,752
NORM:
And, and now you're facing first
degree murder charges.
35
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:45,148
The foreman of Mike's second
trial,
36
00:01:45,192 --> 00:01:47,890
you know, basically said,
look,
37
00:01:47,933 --> 00:01:50,240
we thought Terry D'Prero
was a liar
38
00:01:50,284 --> 00:01:52,677
and that's why we rendered
a verdict
39
00:01:52,721 --> 00:01:54,462
of not guilty.
40
00:01:54,505 --> 00:01:56,464
There are just enough of
these inconsistencies
41
00:01:56,507 --> 00:01:59,467
with D'Prero and then this
strong testimony
42
00:01:59,510 --> 00:02:02,470
from the psychiatrists
and the not guilty
43
00:02:02,513 --> 00:02:05,386
by reason of insanity plea that
he made that,
44
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:09,477
you know, just convinced them
that this guy was lying
45
00:02:10,391 --> 00:02:12,262
and that there was no connection
46
00:02:12,306 --> 00:02:14,090
and he made a deal
to save his life.
47
00:02:16,832 --> 00:02:19,835
Again, you look at
what Bob Davis's
48
00:02:19,878 --> 00:02:22,751
jury did not hear
about Terry D'Prero
49
00:02:22,794 --> 00:02:25,014
and what they heard
50
00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:27,190
about Hal Levine's fear
of Mike Borrelli,
51
00:02:27,234 --> 00:02:30,106
which they should not
have heard.
52
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,108
Court of Appeals said
53
00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:34,371
that evidence is inadmissible
54
00:02:34,415 --> 00:02:36,417
in the Mike Borrelli appeal.
55
00:02:36,460 --> 00:02:38,593
The appellate court in Colorado
56
00:02:38,636 --> 00:02:40,595
in Bob's case ignored it.
57
00:02:45,643 --> 00:02:48,385
It's a clear case of
reasonable doubt.
58
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:53,129
BOB:
If Mike is found innocent
59
00:02:54,696 --> 00:02:57,481
and I am found guilty of
conspiracy,
60
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:02,617
with whom am I conspiring?
61
00:03:04,314 --> 00:03:06,621
Where's the conspiracy?
62
00:03:09,014 --> 00:03:11,713
It just, it boggles my mind to
think about, about this.
63
00:03:13,062 --> 00:03:15,499
They held on to the conviction
that he was there
64
00:03:15,543 --> 00:03:16,587
because they didn't have
anything.
65
00:03:16,631 --> 00:03:18,850
They lost my case later on.
66
00:03:18,894 --> 00:03:21,157
And now all they had was Bob
for conspiracy.
67
00:03:21,201 --> 00:03:24,073
So they wanted to hold on
to some kind of a conviction.
68
00:03:24,116 --> 00:03:26,249
They would not grant him
a new trial,
69
00:03:26,293 --> 00:03:27,990
even though we tried
to get him one.
70
00:03:28,033 --> 00:03:30,732
But I know Mike was sure that
once he was released
71
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,476
and found innocent, that
they'd have to release Bobby.
72
00:03:36,955 --> 00:03:39,697
But Mike, that's all he ever
talked about was doing
73
00:03:39,741 --> 00:03:42,483
everything he could to get
his release.
74
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:46,269
And it really hurt Mike
75
00:03:46,313 --> 00:03:49,316
a great deal.
76
00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:52,057
How come Mike Borrelli is out
and my dad's still in jail?
77
00:03:54,451 --> 00:03:56,932
And I think that my mom went
to her grave thinking that too,
78
00:03:56,975 --> 00:03:59,195
she wanted to know what
happened.
79
00:03:59,239 --> 00:04:02,111
[♪♪♪]
80
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:10,206
MIKE:
Dear Judge Fullerton,
81
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:13,165
during
these many past months,
82
00:04:13,209 --> 00:04:15,298
while both Davis and I
83
00:04:15,342 --> 00:04:17,692
have been waiting
for your decision
84
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:20,303
regarding this motions
for a new trial,
85
00:04:20,347 --> 00:04:23,001
I have been anxiously
wanting to write to you.
86
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,092
Bob advised me against it
because he felt that
87
00:04:27,136 --> 00:04:29,704
this time around you
were going to come up
88
00:04:29,747 --> 00:04:32,272
with a fair decision.
89
00:04:32,315 --> 00:04:35,275
I'm glad I didn't write that
letter because I know now
90
00:04:35,318 --> 00:04:38,147
that no matter what I had
said, your decision
91
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:40,454
would have been the same.
92
00:04:40,497 --> 00:04:42,717
I have in front of me
the decision you rendered
93
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,459
in the Davis case regarding his
motions for a new trial.
94
00:04:47,025 --> 00:04:49,941
Mr. Little stated Tuesday that
the evidence in the case
95
00:04:49,985 --> 00:04:52,727
indicate that Davis
was the gunman.
96
00:04:54,555 --> 00:04:57,514
Well, Mr. Little must have been
at another trial.
97
00:04:57,558 --> 00:05:00,561
He couldn't have been
on the Levine case.
98
00:05:00,604 --> 00:05:03,520
During the testimony,
the real evidence came from
99
00:05:03,564 --> 00:05:06,523
the only surviving witness,
Mrs. Levine,
100
00:05:06,567 --> 00:05:09,309
and her testimony was loud
and clear.
101
00:05:11,093 --> 00:05:13,835
The young athletic man,
102
00:05:14,792 --> 00:05:16,620
the one with the sweater,
103
00:05:16,664 --> 00:05:18,274
D'Prero,
104
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:20,015
he entered my bedroom
and he had a gun in his hand.
105
00:05:22,278 --> 00:05:24,236
MIKE:
He came toward me.
106
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,109
I stepped back and he kept
coming forward
107
00:05:27,152 --> 00:05:29,503
with the gun pointed.
108
00:05:29,546 --> 00:05:31,940
I fell backwards on the bed
behind me
109
00:05:31,983 --> 00:05:33,681
and he put one knee on the bed
110
00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:36,292
and he had the gun pointed
at my head.
111
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,990
Then I heard three clicks.
112
00:05:39,034 --> 00:05:41,863
MIKE:
Click, click, click.
113
00:05:42,603 --> 00:05:44,822
And then I went limp.
114
00:05:44,866 --> 00:05:47,782
She went on to state
the second man,
115
00:05:47,825 --> 00:05:50,611
the one with the pasty face,
116
00:05:50,654 --> 00:05:53,353
he stood by the door,
the entrance to my bedroom.
117
00:05:54,702 --> 00:05:57,487
He never moved.
118
00:05:57,531 --> 00:06:00,447
Is this the evidence Mr. Little
keeps repeating
119
00:06:00,490 --> 00:06:03,232
indicates that Davis
was the gunman?
120
00:06:03,275 --> 00:06:05,103
This is hogwash.
121
00:06:05,147 --> 00:06:07,541
It's ludicrous and hypocritical.
122
00:06:07,584 --> 00:06:10,326
And you are holding a man
who did not commit the crime.
123
00:06:12,502 --> 00:06:14,983
The murderers are walking
around free
124
00:06:15,026 --> 00:06:17,246
with the consent of the court.
125
00:06:17,289 --> 00:06:19,988
Now, you want Davis to pay for
everybody else's crimes.
126
00:06:20,989 --> 00:06:23,208
Again, this is hypocrisy.
127
00:06:25,689 --> 00:06:26,255
Hmm.
128
00:06:26,298 --> 00:06:28,431
A video.
129
00:06:28,475 --> 00:06:30,999
Hmm, I don't remember
and I may have seen it,
130
00:06:31,042 --> 00:06:33,697
but it just doesn't
come back to me.
131
00:06:33,741 --> 00:06:35,569
Yeah.
132
00:06:41,836 --> 00:06:44,621
BOB:
They could not afford
to say that
133
00:06:44,665 --> 00:06:46,536
they made a mistake.
134
00:06:48,364 --> 00:06:51,149
Somebody had to pay.
135
00:06:52,716 --> 00:06:54,501
That somebody was me.
136
00:06:56,807 --> 00:06:59,506

Robert Bernard Davis, you take
the fall for this.
137

We don't care if you're
innocent or not.

On Tuesday night,
three Genovese Family hoods

shot a young detective to death
while he was leaving a diner.
195
00:10:08,695 --> 00:10:10,218
He wasn't arresting them.
196

He didn't even approach them.

00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:13,047
He was assigned to watch them,

but he was finished for the day.
199
00:10:14,744 --> 00:10:17,573
He was going home to his four
daughters and wife.
200
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:20,794
His aspirations were always
to be a cop.

For the last 16 years,
Anthony Joseph Venditti

Anthony was shot at 8:20,

8:10.
208
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:40,378
Tony and I were watching TV

Why did allegedly experienced

start shooting at a police
officer when this kind of
213
00:10:51,389 --> 00:10:54,175
surveillance is as common to the

I wouldn't make it.

When New York formed
the Organized Crime Unit,
220
00:11:12,062 --> 00:11:13,498
he was part of that.
221
00:11:13,542 --> 00:11:16,023
He worked with the federals,
agents,
222
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:17,981
in a unit called
the Organized Crime Unit.
223
00:11:18,025 --> 00:11:19,722
They were doing some
surveillance
224
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:22,507
on some numbers runners.
225
00:11:22,551 --> 00:11:25,423
During the surveillance
they had lost the person
226
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:26,947
they were surveilling.
227
00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:29,689
MIKE:
So, my nephew said to his
partner, let's go back
228
00:11:29,732 --> 00:11:31,038
to the diner where we picked
them up
229
00:11:31,081 --> 00:11:34,084
and if they're not there,
we'll call it a night.
230
00:11:34,128 --> 00:11:36,260
ANNA:
And she was only his partner
for the night.
231
00:11:36,304 --> 00:11:37,566
They were training her.
232
00:11:37,609 --> 00:11:39,220
As a matter of fact,
Anthony had put together
233
00:11:39,263 --> 00:11:41,831
a book with all these
wise guys'
234
00:11:41,875 --> 00:11:43,659
pictures in it so that
she could learn
235
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,530
who they were
if she spotted them.
236
00:11:47,619 --> 00:11:50,535
This guy Giovanelli,
they spotted him after they had
237
00:11:50,579 --> 00:11:52,581
gone downtown to where they
knew that
238
00:11:52,624 --> 00:11:55,671
these mobsters hung out,
239
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:57,891
that when they came back to
Ridgewood, Queens,
240
00:11:57,934 --> 00:12:00,154
he started to follow them
with his lights out.
241
00:12:01,503 --> 00:12:04,332
Now, if you can believe this,
242
00:12:04,375 --> 00:12:07,248
my son, a street-smart cop.
243
00:12:08,423 --> 00:12:10,991
She claims she dropped him off.
He left the car,
244
00:12:11,034 --> 00:12:13,428
knowing that this guy is
following them
245
00:12:13,471 --> 00:12:14,777
with the lights out.
246
00:12:14,821 --> 00:12:16,039
Right?
247
00:12:16,083 --> 00:12:18,955
So he goes into the diner
and she decides that
248
00:12:18,999 --> 00:12:21,871
she's going to have
this guy follow her.
249
00:12:21,915 --> 00:12:24,874
What she does is, she takes her
car all the way
250
00:12:24,918 --> 00:12:27,747
around the block, parked the car
behind a dumpster
251
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,313
and locked it.
252
00:12:29,357 --> 00:12:31,751
She locked it.
253
00:12:31,794 --> 00:12:34,666
Anthony, he comes out with a cup
of coffee in his hand.
254
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:39,149
As he's coming down, he hears,
255
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:40,977
what are we going to do
with this effin' guy?
256
00:12:41,891 --> 00:12:43,414
Now he was a street-smart cop.
257
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:46,069
He would have been able
to get out of this.
258
00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:48,419
And he said, what are you
going to do with that thing?
259
00:12:48,463 --> 00:12:51,335
And she comes out of the blue
and she starts shouting,
260
00:12:51,379 --> 00:12:53,120
she has a gun in her hand.
261
00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:54,948

She says, Tony, watch it.
262
00:12:54,991 --> 00:12:56,732
She drew her gun.

00:12:56,776 --> 00:12:59,126
Shots were being fired.
264
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:02,085

my nephew bent down

One of them, the understanding
about violence.

Two reputed gangsters who could
have easily fled or hidden out,

Fat Tony Salerno runs the
Genovese family.
285
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:58,576
It's likely he gave the order
that the two should surrender.

to him in Colorado,

or what they were going to try
and put together or anything.
297
00:14:33,133 --> 00:14:35,831

analyzed the case

00:16:07,488 --> 00:16:10,404
The next year they come back
and they denied me again.

Time number three,
I'm now at work release,

00:17:21,562 --> 00:17:24,434
But I was a good feeling
to see my dad again.
352
00:17:24,478 --> 00:17:27,481
Hold him, you know,
without being searched,
353
00:17:27,524 --> 00:17:29,874
without them checking
my pockets and everything.
354
00:17:30,658 --> 00:17:32,442
It was horrible.
355
00:17:36,403 --> 00:17:39,232
I got to prepare myself to do
something useful
356
00:17:39,275 --> 00:17:41,495
in this society.
357
00:17:41,538 --> 00:17:44,237
What do I do good?
358
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,020
Did I teach?
359
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:46,108
Yeah.
360
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:47,501
Did I write briefs for guys?
361
00:17:47,544 --> 00:17:48,806
Yes.
362
00:17:48,850 --> 00:17:49,851
Did I hear their issues?
363
00:17:49,894 --> 00:17:50,765
Hear their problems?
364
00:17:50,808 --> 00:17:53,550
Yes.
365
00:17:53,594 --> 00:17:56,423
Would I make a pretty good
therapist?
366
00:17:56,466 --> 00:17:58,338
I hope so.
367
00:17:58,381 --> 00:18:00,122
And that's where I went.
368
00:18:00,166 --> 00:18:01,732
And that's where I am.
369
00:18:01,776 --> 00:18:14,180
[♪♪♪]
370
00:18:14,223 --> 00:18:17,139
The prosecutors let a dangerous
371
00:18:17,183 --> 00:18:18,967
man back on the street,
372
00:18:20,708 --> 00:18:23,319
because it served their
purpose
373
00:18:23,363 --> 00:18:26,105
in order to convict
two innocent people.
374
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:28,846
Two innocent people.
375
00:18:34,243 --> 00:18:36,071
I have no information about
376
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,639
Terry D'Prero's whereabouts
377
00:18:38,682 --> 00:18:41,511
when he was given a full pass
and relocated with
378
00:18:41,555 --> 00:18:43,209
a new name, new identity,
379
00:18:43,252 --> 00:18:46,168
if he ever continued his
criminal ways.
380
00:18:46,212 --> 00:18:49,258
No information, but certainly
381
00:18:49,302 --> 00:18:51,652
it always concerned me that
here's a guy that
382
00:18:51,695 --> 00:18:53,306
shouldn't be on the street
and was given
383
00:18:53,349 --> 00:18:56,178
a new life, new identity
and a new start.
384
00:18:57,223 --> 00:18:59,486
I also know that there is
no medication
385
00:18:59,529 --> 00:19:02,271
for his diagnosis,
386
00:19:02,315 --> 00:19:04,621
so I sincerely hope that
wherever he is,
387
00:19:06,057 --> 00:19:08,799
he will get some help because
if he does not get help,
388
00:19:08,843 --> 00:19:11,585
he's going to keep doing
what he's been doing.
389
00:19:15,066 --> 00:19:17,765
DIRECTOR:
I'd been searching for D'Prero
for years,
390
00:19:17,808 --> 00:19:20,202
but finding someone who had been
placed in a witness protection
391
00:19:20,246 --> 00:19:22,378
was proving to be the impossible
task everyone had
392
00:19:22,422 --> 00:19:24,075
guaranteed me it would be.
393
00:19:26,295 --> 00:19:28,254
Complicating matters even
further,
394
00:19:28,297 --> 00:19:30,604
Robert Cantwell had done his
very best to scare me off
395
00:19:30,647 --> 00:19:32,345
such a pursuit.
396
00:19:32,388 --> 00:19:33,955
But I just couldn't get past
the need to know
397
00:19:33,998 --> 00:19:35,870
what D'Prero had done
with the rest of his life.
398
00:19:38,264 --> 00:19:40,135
I wanted to know exactly
what kind of a man Mike Little
399
00:19:40,179 --> 00:19:42,877
had given a free pass and let
back on the streets.
400
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:46,707
Whether on camera or not,
401
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:48,404
I talked to pretty much
everyone who knew anything
402
00:19:48,448 --> 00:19:50,276
about the case,
and along the way I'd heard
403
00:19:50,319 --> 00:19:53,192
more than a few theories
about D'Prero's whereabouts.
404
00:19:53,235 --> 00:19:54,802
But after four years of
searching,
405
00:19:54,845 --> 00:19:56,543
I'd come up with nothing.
406
00:19:59,285 --> 00:20:01,374
One rumor that had always stuck
with me, though,
407
00:20:01,417 --> 00:20:03,376
came from an ex-girlfriend of
Terry's who claimed
408
00:20:03,419 --> 00:20:04,812
she had heard through
the grapevine
409
00:20:04,855 --> 00:20:06,596
that Terry had moved to Texas.
410
00:20:17,041 --> 00:20:19,261
Running out of places to look,
I began searching through
411
00:20:19,305 --> 00:20:22,221
Texas newspapers
from 1976 and '77
412
00:20:23,309 --> 00:20:25,093
in the slim chance I would come
across something that
413
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:28,009
might put me on the trail of
Terry D'Prero.
414
00:20:28,923 --> 00:20:31,186
After months of searching
through old news articles,
415
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:34,102
I found something
I couldn't quite believe.
416
00:20:35,451 --> 00:20:37,584
Buried in the back of the
Big Spring Texas Herald
417
00:20:37,627 --> 00:20:39,586
was the photo of a car salesman
that looked
418
00:20:39,629 --> 00:20:42,632
a hell of a lot like
Terry D'Prero.
419
00:20:42,676 --> 00:20:45,200
The name under the photo
was Tony Ginnetti.
420
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:47,115
Was it possible that while
Mike and Bob were fighting
421
00:20:47,158 --> 00:20:49,596
for their lives in a Colorado
courtroom,
422
00:20:49,639 --> 00:20:51,075
Terry D'Prero was playing
the part of
423
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,077
an honest car salesman
in Texas?
424
00:20:55,079 --> 00:20:56,516
A little more digging
425
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:58,866
revealed that Tony Ginnetti had
gone from a small-town
426
00:20:58,909 --> 00:21:01,956
car salesman in 1977,
427
00:21:01,999 --> 00:21:04,915
to one of Texas's most wanted
by 1985.
428
00:21:05,873 --> 00:21:08,571
Tony Ginnetti was being hunted
by the FBI for auto theft,
429
00:21:08,615 --> 00:21:11,487
forgery and defrauding the
Coahoma State Bank
430
00:21:11,531 --> 00:21:14,142
in Texas
out of 260,000 dollars
431
00:21:14,185 --> 00:21:16,362
and a former partner out of
150,000 dollars.
432
00:21:18,581 --> 00:21:20,670
In the federal flight to avoid
prosecution warrant,
433
00:21:20,714 --> 00:21:23,456
it lists several aliases used
by Tony Ginnetti.
434
00:21:25,153 --> 00:21:27,895
Among the names were
Terry Argus, Tony Culpert
435
00:21:27,938 --> 00:21:30,898
and Terry Lee Prero.
436
00:21:30,941 --> 00:21:33,074
I'd found him, sort of.
437
00:21:36,033 --> 00:21:38,340
As of 1985,
he was a fugitive.
438
00:21:38,384 --> 00:21:41,082
Not even the FBI at that point
knew where he was.
439
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,999
Tony Ginnetti,
a.k.a. Terry D'Prero,
440
00:21:45,042 --> 00:21:48,002
spent five years on Texas' most
wanted list
441
00:21:48,045 --> 00:21:50,004
until in 1990, the law finally
caught up with him.
442
00:21:55,226 --> 00:21:58,142
By 1996, Terry,
or should I say Tony,
443
00:21:58,186 --> 00:22:00,188
was back out
on the streets again.
444
00:22:00,231 --> 00:22:02,059
But not for long.
445
00:22:02,103 --> 00:22:04,453
In 1997, he was given
18 months in prison
446
00:22:04,497 --> 00:22:06,237
for yet another bank
fraud charge.
447
00:22:08,849 --> 00:22:11,678
When Tony Ginnetti was
eventually released from prison,
448
00:22:11,721 --> 00:22:13,462
he vanished once again.
449
00:22:16,900 --> 00:22:19,425
I picked up the trail
when I came across the 2005
450
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:22,341
murder case involving
20-year-old Stuart Ginnetti,
451
00:22:22,384 --> 00:22:24,821
the son of one Tony Ginnetti,
452
00:22:24,865 --> 00:22:27,824
who I now knew was
Terry D'Prero.
453
00:22:27,868 --> 00:22:29,696
D'Prero's son was serving a life
sentence
454
00:22:29,739 --> 00:22:31,393
for participating
in the kidnapping
455
00:22:31,437 --> 00:22:33,830
and murder of a friend who he
and five others suspected
456
00:22:33,874 --> 00:22:36,050
of talking to police about
their drug operation.
457
00:22:37,573 --> 00:22:39,358
After tying up their victim and
beating him to death,
458
00:22:39,401 --> 00:22:41,185
Stuart Ginnetti and his
friends put the body
459
00:22:41,229 --> 00:22:44,188
in the trunk of a car
and set both on fire.
460
00:22:44,232 --> 00:22:54,416
[♪♪♪]
461
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:57,114
I now knew where Tony Ginnetti,
a.k.a. Terry D'Prero
462
00:22:57,158 --> 00:22:58,899
was living.
463
00:22:58,942 --> 00:23:01,118
All that was left to do was go
knock on his door.
464
00:23:01,162 --> 00:23:08,212
[♪♪♪]
465
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:11,172
Accompanied by Herb Wellman,
a retired police officer,
466
00:23:11,215 --> 00:23:12,869
we knocked on
Terry D'Prero's door.
467
00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:18,353
Within minutes of a very tense
introduction,
468
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,269
our cell phone rang
with a Colorado phone number.
469
00:23:21,312 --> 00:23:23,532
It was Robert Cantwell
and he was none too happy
470
00:23:23,576 --> 00:23:25,752
that I had found
his star witness.
471
00:23:27,275 --> 00:23:29,451
Against Cantwell's wishes,
Terry D'Prero
472
00:23:29,495 --> 00:23:32,323
agreed to talk with us somewhere
away from his home,
473
00:23:32,367 --> 00:23:34,413
saying he was finally ready to
talk about the events
474
00:23:34,456 --> 00:23:36,415
surrounding Hal Levine's murder.
475
00:23:39,243 --> 00:23:40,549
TERRY:
Like I say, I don't know
how many years ago
476
00:23:40,593 --> 00:23:42,986
when you started
this, but Bob Cantwell,
477
00:23:43,030 --> 00:23:45,815
he called me shortly after
you contacted him.
478
00:23:46,381 --> 00:23:49,297
I was told that a film company
479
00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:51,038
was trying to locate me
480
00:23:51,081 --> 00:23:53,997
because they wanted to
do a story on the happenings.
481
00:23:54,041 --> 00:23:56,522
Naturally, he was very much
against it.
482
00:23:56,565 --> 00:23:59,220
And, of course, so was I.
483
00:23:59,263 --> 00:24:02,179
He just wanted me to be
aware that
484
00:24:02,223 --> 00:24:04,617
this hasn't really gone away.
485
00:24:04,660 --> 00:24:07,402
And that was the last I heard of
it until this morning
486
00:24:07,446 --> 00:24:09,186
when Herb knocked on my door.
487
00:24:10,492 --> 00:24:13,495
Totally, totally surprised.
488
00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:15,541
Pretty nervous, you made me
pretty nervous.
489
00:24:15,584 --> 00:24:18,457
What made me nervous was I said,
he said these people
490
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,198
are parked right on,
[redacted] behind your house.
491
00:24:23,113 --> 00:24:24,898
That made me nervous.
492
00:24:28,075 --> 00:24:30,512
DIRECTOR:
I guess let's just start from
the beginning.
493
00:24:30,556 --> 00:24:33,036
The trouble what went down
between Hal Levine
494
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,430
and the Borrellis, is that,
495
00:24:38,128 --> 00:24:40,957
they were always, Hal was always
fighting with Michael because
496
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:43,743
the restaurants were making
zilch, nada.
497
00:24:44,831 --> 00:24:47,486
They were, but, to Hal's eyes
they weren't.
498
00:24:48,443 --> 00:24:49,879
I mean, he wasn't getting
any of it,
499
00:24:49,923 --> 00:24:51,577
in other words.
500
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:53,753
This was the first of many
discrepancies that came up
501
00:24:53,796 --> 00:24:56,756
during my time with
Terry D'Prero.
502
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:58,584
DIRECTOR:
When Terry was first questioned
503
00:24:58,627 --> 00:25:00,324
by the Organized Crime
Strike Force
504
00:25:00,368 --> 00:25:01,978
about why Hal and Mike were not
getting along in the weeks
505
00:25:02,022 --> 00:25:04,328
leading up to the murder,
he stated:
506
00:25:16,210 --> 00:25:19,605
The story differed greatly from
what D'Prero was now telling me,
507
00:25:19,648 --> 00:25:21,171
and there was much more
to come.
508
00:25:23,609 --> 00:25:25,611
DIRECTOR:
The morning Shirley Levine
was shot,
509
00:25:25,654 --> 00:25:27,613
who was first into her bedroom?
510
00:25:27,656 --> 00:25:29,702
Well neither of us was
in the room.
511
00:25:31,704 --> 00:25:34,184
DIRECTOR:
So she was shot from
the hallway?
512
00:25:34,228 --> 00:25:37,013
Oh, yeah, yeah, I mean,
you know, right there
513
00:25:37,057 --> 00:25:38,624
at the doorway.
514
00:25:40,713 --> 00:25:42,366
I mean, I didn't go in the room
and I don't,
515
00:25:42,410 --> 00:25:44,107
I don't remember Bob
going in the room,
516
00:25:44,151 --> 00:25:47,720
just coming upstairs
in the doorway and fired.
517
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,072
DIRECTOR:
Because of the placement of the
bullet casings,
518
00:25:52,115 --> 00:25:54,465
we know the shooter was standing
next to the bed.
519
00:25:54,509 --> 00:25:55,989
There's no way the shots could
have been fired
520
00:25:56,032 --> 00:26:01,603
from the doorway or even
the end of the bedroom hallway.
521
00:26:01,647 --> 00:26:02,865
DIRECTOR:
Was she supposed to be home?
522
00:26:02,909 --> 00:26:04,824
Was she, was it a surprise
that she was?
523
00:26:04,867 --> 00:26:06,390
I don't know.
524
00:26:06,434 --> 00:26:08,958
I have no idea.
525
00:26:09,002 --> 00:26:12,396
I was just told we were going to
Hal's house.
526
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,400
I had no idea at that time
a hit was going down.
527
00:26:16,444 --> 00:26:17,576
PROSECUTOR LITTLE:
Prosecutor Mike Little.
528
00:26:29,631 --> 00:26:35,594
I couldn't even fathom walking
into his house and...
529
00:26:35,637 --> 00:26:37,421
shooting him.
530
00:26:37,465 --> 00:26:41,034
So, it just happened so quick,
it was done
531
00:26:41,077 --> 00:26:43,340
and there I was right
in the middle.
532
00:26:43,384 --> 00:26:44,472
We were there.
533
00:26:44,515 --> 00:26:45,647
We were gone.
534
00:26:45,691 --> 00:26:47,693
He was gone.
535
00:26:47,736 --> 00:26:49,346
I was back at work.
536
00:26:52,001 --> 00:26:54,656
And when I got, when I got to
work, the police already
537
00:26:54,700 --> 00:26:57,267
been there, were there.
538
00:26:57,311 --> 00:26:58,791
DIRECTOR:
Where was Mike at this time?
539
00:26:58,834 --> 00:27:01,141
Oh, I have no idea.
540
00:27:01,184 --> 00:27:02,490
I don't know if he was,
he was at the restaurant
541
00:27:02,533 --> 00:27:05,536
when I got there.
542
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:07,669
I couldn't quite figure out
why Terry was telling me
543
00:27:07,713 --> 00:27:09,758
that Mike was at the restaurant
the morning of the murder,
544
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:10,977
when it's a well-known
fact that
545
00:27:11,020 --> 00:27:13,414
Mike was in New York
with family.
546
00:27:13,457 --> 00:27:15,721
At this point I had two choices.
547
00:27:15,764 --> 00:27:17,505
I could confront Terry
on the blatant
548
00:27:17,548 --> 00:27:20,116
inaccuracies of his statements
and potentially have him
549
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,292
stop talking with me,
or I could let him
550
00:27:22,336 --> 00:27:24,686
keep digging his own hole.
551
00:27:24,730 --> 00:27:28,081
I decided to see just how deep
that hole could get.
552
00:27:28,124 --> 00:27:32,172
And how did David Cortinaz
factor into all of this?
553
00:27:34,391 --> 00:27:35,175
David?
554
00:27:35,218 --> 00:27:36,393
DIRECTOR:
Cortinaz.
555
00:27:37,568 --> 00:27:40,093
David Cortinaz.
556
00:28:01,331 --> 00:28:03,594
DIRECTOR:
During Mike's second trial,
David Cortinaz
557
00:28:03,638 --> 00:28:05,684
testified to the following:
558
00:28:40,893 --> 00:28:42,459
Cortinaz.
559
00:28:42,503 --> 00:28:45,375
I just don't remember the name.
560
00:28:54,297 --> 00:28:56,778
in the morning,
561
00:28:56,822 --> 00:28:58,911
at his home.
562
00:29:03,306 --> 00:29:07,006
Dave Cortinaz, I don't remember
that name at all.
563
00:29:09,617 --> 00:29:11,184
I just don't.
564
00:29:17,016 --> 00:29:19,279
DIRECTOR:
The officer who initially
tracked you down
565
00:29:19,322 --> 00:29:21,020
and then gave you immunity,
what was that
566
00:29:21,063 --> 00:29:22,456
whole process like?
567
00:29:22,499 --> 00:29:26,765
TERRY:
That's when I first met
Bob Cantwell.
568
00:29:26,808 --> 00:29:30,812
We sat down and talked
and he told me that
569
00:29:30,856 --> 00:29:33,380
he knew that I wasn't really
involved in this,
570
00:29:33,423 --> 00:29:36,557
that I was just going to be
used for a fall guy.
571
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:43,259
And what he said to me
and made sense,
572
00:29:43,303 --> 00:29:45,566
mainly because I didn't have
a lawyer.
573
00:29:45,609 --> 00:29:49,222
DIRECTOR:
So they offered you immunity
to testify.
574
00:29:49,265 --> 00:29:51,485
Yeah, and a change
of atmosphere.
575
00:29:51,528 --> 00:29:55,271
He put me in a witness
protection program.
576
00:29:55,315 --> 00:29:58,448
And that's where
I've been ever since.
577
00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:01,060
DIRECTOR:
He went on, he got immunity
578
00:30:01,103 --> 00:30:04,411
and he went on to a life
of crime.
579
00:30:04,454 --> 00:30:06,500
That's not to say he wouldn't
have done it if he hadn't--
580
00:30:06,543 --> 00:30:09,459
sentences were weak at that
time, I mean,
581
00:30:09,503 --> 00:30:11,679
had we, had we charged him
with homicide
582
00:30:11,722 --> 00:30:16,553
and given him a consideration
in sentencing,
583
00:30:16,597 --> 00:30:17,903
he could still have still been
out in five years.
584
00:30:17,946 --> 00:30:19,774
That's what was, I mean,
585
00:30:19,818 --> 00:30:20,862
if you read the articles,
586
00:30:20,906 --> 00:30:22,081
that's what's was so crazy
587
00:30:22,124 --> 00:30:24,953
that Bob Davis was convicted
of conspiracy
588
00:30:24,997 --> 00:30:26,172
and he got
a longer sentence
589
00:30:26,215 --> 00:30:29,044
than Michael Borrelli
did for homicide.
590
00:30:29,088 --> 00:30:32,743
So, that's not to say that he
wouldn't have done
591
00:30:32,787 --> 00:30:36,660
the same thing had he been
convicted of something.
592
00:30:36,704 --> 00:30:38,445
In fact probably a greater
likelihood of it,
593
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:40,012
because when he goes to
prison, then he's going to
594
00:30:40,055 --> 00:30:43,015
maintain, he's going to stay in
that lifestyle,
595
00:30:43,058 --> 00:30:47,628
maintain the connections and
maintain that thought pattern.
596
00:30:47,671 --> 00:30:51,588
For Terry D'Prero, who says,
I was there,
597
00:30:51,632 --> 00:30:57,420
I agreed to kill somebody
and I didn't pull the trigger,
598
00:30:57,464 --> 00:30:59,640
but whose testimony shows
599
00:30:59,683 --> 00:31:02,512
that he was certainly involved
600
00:31:02,556 --> 00:31:05,994
because parts of his
testimony were corroborated
601
00:31:06,038 --> 00:31:12,522
as to his involvement
and to use somebody like that,
602
00:31:12,566 --> 00:31:16,222
I mean, I think it's,
it's unforgivable.
603
00:31:17,788 --> 00:31:20,617
DIRECTOR:
Is there a place in time where
you wish you had
604
00:31:20,661 --> 00:31:23,620
made a different decision?
605
00:31:23,664 --> 00:31:26,058
If I would have known ahead of
time, maybe that's why
606
00:31:26,101 --> 00:31:27,363
they didn't tell me,
I don't know if,
607
00:31:27,407 --> 00:31:30,932
if I would have known ahead of
time,
608
00:31:30,976 --> 00:31:32,760
what was going to happen,
609
00:31:32,803 --> 00:31:35,981
the outcome surely would have
been different.
610
00:31:36,024 --> 00:31:40,507
But I had no idea a hit was
coming, at the time.
611
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:42,813
ALAN:
With the benefit of hindsight,
when you look at
612
00:31:42,857 --> 00:31:45,338
Terry D'Prero's testimony,
613
00:31:45,381 --> 00:31:48,515
you can only conclude
that either he's one of the
614
00:31:48,558 --> 00:31:52,258
greatest schemers or he's a
complete liar about everything
615
00:31:52,301 --> 00:31:55,435
and couldn't tell the truth
if he tried to.
616
00:31:55,478 --> 00:31:58,090
TIM:
Well, that's what my sister
says.
617
00:31:58,133 --> 00:31:59,787
Yeah. That's that,
618
00:31:59,830 --> 00:32:02,529
if, if when I mentioned
my brother to my sister,
619
00:32:02,572 --> 00:32:03,878
she goes, you know,
620
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,054
he's a pathological liar.
621
00:32:06,098 --> 00:32:07,186
But...
622
00:32:07,229 --> 00:32:09,840
So that that could be
very true, yeah.
623
00:32:09,884 --> 00:32:11,625
That's Terry D'Prero's nature.
624
00:32:11,668 --> 00:32:15,890
I think he was a classic
pathological liar.
625
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:18,414
TERRY:
They sure did everything they
did to discredit me,
626
00:32:18,458 --> 00:32:20,982
but and it didn't bother me
on the stand.
627
00:32:21,026 --> 00:32:25,769
I was told I held up very well,
so.
628
00:32:25,813 --> 00:32:29,077
Bob said, just don't worry
about, just tell what happened.
629
00:32:29,121 --> 00:32:33,516
And, you know, 40 years
later, he just, a few hours ago,
630
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:34,953
he told me the same thing.
631
00:32:34,996 --> 00:32:37,085
He said, you just don't beat
around the bush,
632
00:32:37,129 --> 00:32:39,566
answer their questions,
tell them what happened,
633
00:32:39,609 --> 00:32:41,872
just like you testified
in court
634
00:32:41,916 --> 00:32:43,613
and everything will be alright.
635
00:32:43,657 --> 00:32:45,050
So.
636
00:32:45,093 --> 00:32:47,443
That's what I'm doing.
637
00:32:47,487 --> 00:32:52,057
He's been a good friend
over all these years.
638
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,972
For no reason, for no reason.
639
00:32:54,015 --> 00:32:56,887
We just, we just got along.
640
00:32:56,931 --> 00:32:59,499
Me, him and Joel, we just got
along for some reason.
641
00:32:59,542 --> 00:33:01,631
They were cops and
at the time I was criminal.
642
00:33:04,591 --> 00:33:07,550
But I think they knew I was,
really wasn't a criminal.
643
00:33:07,594 --> 00:33:10,205
But I was involved in there
anyway, so.
644
00:33:14,514 --> 00:33:21,129
I really am shocked, surprised,
amazed that 40 years later,
645
00:33:21,173 --> 00:33:26,439
you know, they have cell phone
numbers for each other.
646
00:33:26,482 --> 00:33:29,398
DIRECTOR:
Ten minutes after initially
talking to your brother,
647
00:33:29,442 --> 00:33:30,443
our cell phone rang.
648
00:33:30,486 --> 00:33:32,749
And it was Robert Cantwell.
649
00:33:32,793 --> 00:33:33,576
TIM:
Really?
650
00:33:33,620 --> 00:33:35,578
DIRECTOR:
Really.
651
00:33:35,622 --> 00:33:36,536
After 40 years.
652
00:33:36,579 --> 00:33:38,103
TIM:
Wild.
653
00:33:38,146 --> 00:33:40,279
DIRECTOR:
Who still didn't want us
talking to your brother.
654
00:33:40,322 --> 00:33:42,150
TIM:
That's wild.
655
00:33:43,586 --> 00:33:46,285
NORM:
Hasn't life moved on
from this case?
656
00:33:46,328 --> 00:33:49,418
Hasn't Mr. Cantwell had
a few other cases in his life?
657
00:33:49,462 --> 00:33:55,816
I mean, that is, that,
that's just shocking to me.
658
00:33:55,859 --> 00:33:59,254
I don't get that at all.
659
00:33:59,298 --> 00:34:01,300
DIRECTOR:
How would you characterize
your relationship
660
00:34:01,343 --> 00:34:02,910
with D'Prero?
661
00:34:02,953 --> 00:34:04,738
Cordial.
662
00:34:04,781 --> 00:34:06,957
I mean, once, once he agreed to
cooperate with us,
663
00:34:07,001 --> 00:34:09,612
it was cordial, it was not,
664
00:34:09,656 --> 00:34:11,832
certainly it wasn't buddies.
665
00:34:11,875 --> 00:34:13,877
Now, I haven't spoken to him.
666
00:34:13,921 --> 00:34:17,577
I haven't had any interaction
with him since...
667
00:34:20,319 --> 00:34:23,713
the conclusion of Michael
Borrelli's second trial.
668
00:34:25,150 --> 00:34:29,110
There are some police officers
who, you know, if they,
669
00:34:29,154 --> 00:34:31,547
if they're dirty in a case
670
00:34:31,591 --> 00:34:33,941
and they know they've crossed
the line
671
00:34:33,984 --> 00:34:37,988
or have lied about it
themselves
672
00:34:38,032 --> 00:34:40,295
or they have manufactured
evidence
673
00:34:40,339 --> 00:34:42,210
or they have planted evidence
674
00:34:42,254 --> 00:34:45,822
in a snitch for some grander
scheme,
675
00:34:45,866 --> 00:34:48,303
of course, they're going
to have the motive to continue,
676
00:34:48,347 --> 00:34:50,697
continue the cover up.
677
00:34:50,740 --> 00:34:55,005
So, you know, there could be any
number of reasons.
678
00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:56,833
Maybe Mr. Cantwell just has
a guilty conscience
679
00:34:56,877 --> 00:34:58,313
about this case.
680
00:34:58,357 --> 00:34:59,532
Who knows?
681
00:34:59,575 --> 00:35:01,925
I don't know.
682
00:35:04,537 --> 00:35:06,669
ALAN:
A few people perverted
the system,
683
00:35:06,713 --> 00:35:08,889
some prosecutors and policemen
684
00:35:08,932 --> 00:35:11,587
and Mike Borrelli paid a
Terryble price.
685
00:35:11,631 --> 00:35:14,242
Some of the best years
of his life.
686
00:35:14,286 --> 00:35:17,680
Unfortunately,
we got caught up in it.
687
00:35:17,724 --> 00:35:19,160
I got caught up in it.
688
00:35:19,204 --> 00:35:21,162
Our families got caught up
in it.
689
00:35:21,206 --> 00:35:23,599
And I'm sure they still
believe that,
690
00:35:23,643 --> 00:35:26,689
or they, in their mind they want
to believe that
691
00:35:26,733 --> 00:35:28,822
Mike Borrelli did it and they
certainly want to believe
692
00:35:28,865 --> 00:35:31,390
Bob Davis did it,
or else they'd have to admit
693
00:35:31,433 --> 00:35:37,396
to a real travesty of justice
with respect to Bob Davis.
694
00:35:37,439 --> 00:35:40,921
DIRECTOR:
Are you aware that both Bob
Davis and Michael Borrelli
695
00:35:40,964 --> 00:35:44,054
are still good friends and still
see each other all the time?
696
00:35:44,098 --> 00:35:45,795
No.
697
00:35:45,839 --> 00:35:47,623
Is that right?
698
00:35:47,667 --> 00:35:51,801
They are?
699
00:35:51,845 --> 00:35:56,632
Davis, you know, he should be
really upset with that guy,
700
00:35:56,676 --> 00:36:00,070
got him into trouble
and spent 10 years in prison.
701
00:36:00,114 --> 00:36:01,594
That surprises me.
702
00:36:01,637 --> 00:36:04,162
I didn't, I didn't know that
they were on friendly basis.
703
00:36:08,122 --> 00:36:14,215
[♪♪♪]
704
00:36:14,259 --> 00:36:17,392
MIKE:
Bob, such a good man and has
been such a good father
705
00:36:17,436 --> 00:36:19,351
to his children.
706
00:36:19,394 --> 00:36:21,875
We have remained friends
throughout this whole ordeal.
707
00:36:24,356 --> 00:36:25,792
MELODY:
Mike has been real good
to my dad.
708
00:36:25,835 --> 00:36:27,750
Every time my dad comes
down here,
709
00:36:27,794 --> 00:36:30,057
he takes care of my dad.
710
00:36:30,100 --> 00:36:33,408
Every time I come down here he
takes care of me and my kids.
711
00:36:33,452 --> 00:36:35,584
He's been real good to my dad.
712
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:37,760
He's been a real friend.
713
00:36:39,371 --> 00:36:43,505
Guys like my father
and Bob Davis,
714
00:36:43,549 --> 00:36:46,813
they're, as they say, they're
'true blue'.
715
00:36:46,856 --> 00:36:49,555
They love law enforcement.
716
00:36:49,598 --> 00:36:55,082
Law enforcement was their life
and to be cut down
717
00:36:55,125 --> 00:36:59,434
like they were by law
enforcement, it hurt them deep.
718
00:36:59,478 --> 00:37:02,263
But they also realized that,
719
00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:04,178
law enforcement is a good thing,
720
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:06,833
and all those men and women out
there doing their job every day,
721
00:37:06,876 --> 00:37:09,314
the majority of them are great.
722
00:37:09,357 --> 00:37:11,664
And because of that, that just
makes them that much stronger.
723
00:37:11,707 --> 00:37:18,236
[♪♪♪]
724
00:37:18,279 --> 00:37:21,543
I tried to tell myself that,
725
00:37:21,587 --> 00:37:23,284
I'm not letting these things
trouble me.
726
00:37:23,328 --> 00:37:26,679
Not letting 'em bother me.
727
00:37:26,722 --> 00:37:29,551
I've moved on with things,
moved on with life.
728
00:37:32,293 --> 00:37:38,081
But really deep
down inside, it still hurts.
729
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:44,392
What I would like to see,
somewhere down the line,
730
00:37:44,436 --> 00:37:48,570
somebody take up his cause and
look at this case
731
00:37:48,614 --> 00:37:51,530
and see if you could get some
kind of pardon
732
00:37:51,573 --> 00:37:54,794
or some kind of clemency.
733
00:37:54,837 --> 00:37:57,884
Because he did not do this crime
and it's a shame that this
734
00:37:57,927 --> 00:38:02,062
conviction is still on his name.
735
00:38:02,105 --> 00:38:05,892
BOB:
There aren't very many things
that people have in this world,
736
00:38:05,935 --> 00:38:11,767
and I've tried my best to, to
live it, live this life,
737
00:38:11,811 --> 00:38:15,162
in a caring way,
in a meaningful way,
738
00:38:15,205 --> 00:38:20,298
in a supportive
and a loving way.
739
00:38:20,341 --> 00:38:27,087
The only thing that I have is my
name and my reputation.
740
00:38:27,130 --> 00:38:29,350
This conviction tarnishes that.
741
00:38:29,394 --> 00:38:31,439
I may never be able
to get a new trial.
742
00:38:31,483 --> 00:38:34,224
I may never be able to,
to wipe the slate clean.
743
00:38:37,358 --> 00:38:40,970
But I'd certainly love to try.
