00:08:04,227 --> 00:08:06,708
was to hit him on the head
and throw him in the lake?
185
00:08:09,319 --> 00:08:11,321
Hell yeah,
we're taking this case.
186
00:08:12,497 --> 00:08:14,499

There is nothing to buy out.
189
00:08:26,598 --> 00:08:29,296
It was my apartment when
we got married the first time,

my apartment when
we got married the second time,

and it is still my apartment.

This isa civil tone.
193
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:36,869
This is as civil as my tone gets
194
00:08:36,912 --> 00:08:38,653
when someone is trying to take
something of mine
195
00:08:38,697 --> 00:08:40,481
that they have no right to.[elevator bell chimes]

I have to go now.
197
00:08:42,831 --> 00:08:44,746
[sighs]
198
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:46,661
Bull
199
00:08:46,705 --> 00:08:48,445
and Benny apologize
for not joining,
200
00:08:48,489 --> 00:08:52,058
but they are at a bail hearing
for our new client,
201
00:08:52,101 --> 00:08:53,625
Rachel Thomas, who, moments ago,
202
00:08:53,668 --> 00:08:55,975
was officially charged
with second-degree murder.
203
00:08:56,018 --> 00:08:58,238
They are convinced
that the prosecution
204
00:08:58,281 --> 00:09:00,196
is gonna try
to persuade the jury
205
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,024
that the marriage
was falling apart.
206
00:09:02,068 --> 00:09:04,592
That Mr. Thomas
was being unfaithful,
207
00:09:04,636 --> 00:09:06,202
and that Rachel was enraged
208
00:09:06,246 --> 00:09:08,335
and killed him
in a moment of passion.
209
00:09:08,378 --> 00:09:10,032
Can they prove any of that?Well,
210
00:09:10,076 --> 00:09:12,600
the first part of it
was definitely true.
211
00:09:12,644 --> 00:09:15,168
The Thomases
had enough fights in public
212
00:09:15,211 --> 00:09:17,953
that rounding up people
to testify to their animus
213
00:09:17,997 --> 00:09:19,868
shouldn't be a problem.
214
00:09:19,912 --> 00:09:21,391
The cheating is another matter.
215
00:09:21,435 --> 00:09:22,784
Rachel is convinced of it,
216
00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:24,612
but from what
Bull and Benny can surmise,
217
00:09:24,656 --> 00:09:26,222
she doesn't really have
any hard evidence.
218
00:09:27,093 --> 00:09:29,095
So where does that leave us?Well,
219
00:09:29,138 --> 00:09:31,053
here's the thing.
Peter didn't know it yet,
220
00:09:31,097 --> 00:09:33,578
but Rachel had already retained
a divorce lawyer.
221
00:09:33,621 --> 00:09:35,928
She had already
decided to leave him.
222
00:09:35,971 --> 00:09:38,887
So she really had
no practical motive to kill him.
223
00:09:38,931 --> 00:09:41,629
I beg to differ.
If she had divorced Peter,
224
00:09:41,673 --> 00:09:43,413
it would have cost her
half her fortune.
225
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:45,328
It wouldn't have cost her half.
They had a prenup.
226
00:09:45,372 --> 00:09:47,504
A very aggressive prenup.
Remember?
227
00:09:47,548 --> 00:09:50,290
Even back when
they first married
228
00:09:50,333 --> 00:09:52,161
18 years ago,
she was a wealthy businesswoman.
229
00:09:52,205 --> 00:09:53,641
He was a failed playwright.
230
00:09:53,685 --> 00:09:55,251
Here it is.
231
00:09:55,295 --> 00:09:57,689
It even stipulates
that if he were caught cheating,
232
00:09:57,732 --> 00:09:59,429
he would leave the marriage
with nothing.
233
00:09:59,473 --> 00:10:01,083
So then
doesn't it stand to reason
234
00:10:01,127 --> 00:10:04,260
that if we can prove that Peter
was actually having an affair
235
00:10:04,304 --> 00:10:07,655
and that Rachel knew about it
that she had no motive at all?
236
00:10:07,699 --> 00:10:09,135
The affair would mean
237
00:10:09,178 --> 00:10:10,615
she wouldn't have had
to give him a dime.
238
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,792
When it comes to the jury,
239
00:10:13,835 --> 00:10:15,445
I think the key
is gonna be eliminating
240
00:10:15,489 --> 00:10:17,447
anyone prone to rage bias.
241
00:10:17,491 --> 00:10:19,014
Rage bias?
242
00:10:19,058 --> 00:10:20,929
What on God's earth is that?
243
00:10:20,973 --> 00:10:23,410
People who have rage bias
tend to exhibit...
244
00:10:23,453 --> 00:10:24,672
[knocking]
245
00:10:24,716 --> 00:10:26,674
I am so sorry to interrupt.
Uh, Bull,
246
00:10:26,718 --> 00:10:28,763
could I just have a word
with you outside for a moment?
247
00:10:28,807 --> 00:10:30,504
It'll be very brief.
248
00:10:34,203 --> 00:10:35,683
What's so urgent?
249
00:10:35,727 --> 00:10:37,990
It's our new client.
Our bank just called.
250
00:10:38,033 --> 00:10:39,513
The check she wrote
for our retainer--
251
00:10:39,556 --> 00:10:40,862
it bounced.
252
00:10:40,906 --> 00:10:43,169
Are you sure?
Maybe they made a mistake.
253
00:10:43,212 --> 00:10:45,171
That's Rachel Thomas.
254
00:10:45,214 --> 00:10:47,042
I watched her write the check
myself.
255
00:10:47,086 --> 00:10:48,653
It came
from her personal account.
256
00:10:48,696 --> 00:10:50,567
I'm just telling you
what they told me.
257
00:10:50,611 --> 00:10:52,787
All right.
I'll handle it.
258
00:10:52,831 --> 00:10:55,398
I'll find the right moment
and I will speak to her.
259
00:10:55,442 --> 00:10:58,097
I am sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
260
00:11:00,316 --> 00:11:02,275
Sorry. Where were we?
261
00:11:02,318 --> 00:11:04,494
You were explaining
rage bias.
262
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:06,192
Yes. People
263
00:11:06,235 --> 00:11:08,324
with this particular bias
believe that those
264
00:11:08,368 --> 00:11:10,675
who let their emotions
run away with them
265
00:11:10,718 --> 00:11:13,721
are a danger
to themselves and others.
266
00:11:13,765 --> 00:11:15,941
They won't have any trouble
making the leap that
267
00:11:15,984 --> 00:11:18,726
because you are capable of
acting out against your husband
268
00:11:18,770 --> 00:11:21,381
in front of a room
full of people
269
00:11:21,424 --> 00:11:24,645
that you would also
be capable of killing him.
270
00:11:25,777 --> 00:11:28,997
[sighs]
So w-what do we do about that?
271
00:11:29,041 --> 00:11:30,999
All right, let's play "what if."
272
00:11:31,043 --> 00:11:31,913
Okay.
273
00:11:31,957 --> 00:11:33,480
What if it's rush hour
274
00:11:33,523 --> 00:11:35,047
and it's raining?
275
00:11:35,090 --> 00:11:38,006
You're trying to get a cab,
you finally hail one down,
276
00:11:38,050 --> 00:11:40,835
you're about to get in
when someone rushes past you
277
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:43,403
and tries to steal
the cab away from you.
278
00:11:43,446 --> 00:11:44,709
What do you do?
279
00:11:44,752 --> 00:11:46,623
The truth?
280
00:11:46,667 --> 00:11:49,409
I kick, claw, spit, bite and
pull the other person's hair,
281
00:11:49,452 --> 00:11:50,758
and if that doesn't work...
282
00:11:50,802 --> 00:11:52,499
We get the idea.
283
00:11:52,542 --> 00:11:54,283
My kind of gal.
284
00:11:54,327 --> 00:11:55,545
Your Honor,
285
00:11:55,589 --> 00:11:57,939
this juror is acceptable
to the defense.
286
00:11:57,983 --> 00:12:00,028
JUDGE:
And that means we have our jury.
287
00:12:00,072 --> 00:12:02,422
Let's break for lunch
and then reconvene to hear
288
00:12:02,465 --> 00:12:03,815
opening statements
289
00:12:03,858 --> 00:12:06,905
and perhaps start calling
prosecution witnesses.
290
00:12:09,081 --> 00:12:10,865
So, what's your sense?
291
00:12:10,909 --> 00:12:13,389
My sense is we have
a long way to go.
292
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:16,741
Benny, would you, uh, go across
the street, get us a table?
293
00:12:16,784 --> 00:12:18,394
We'll meet you there.
294
00:12:19,961 --> 00:12:22,007
Two things.
295
00:12:24,313 --> 00:12:26,272
Uh, the check
you wrote us--
296
00:12:26,315 --> 00:12:28,622
the bank returned it.
It bounced.
297
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:30,972
Oh, my God.
Really?
298
00:12:31,016 --> 00:12:32,191
Mm-hmm.
299
00:12:32,234 --> 00:12:33,801
I'm so sorry.
300
00:12:33,845 --> 00:12:35,672
I... I wrote it
on my personal account,
301
00:12:35,716 --> 00:12:37,805
and I know
this is horrifying to hear
302
00:12:37,849 --> 00:12:39,633
from someone who does what I do
303
00:12:39,676 --> 00:12:41,200
for a living, but sometimes
I don't even bother to...I'm not really
304
00:12:41,243 --> 00:12:42,549
concerned about it.
305
00:12:42,592 --> 00:12:44,072
I know you're good for it.
306
00:12:44,116 --> 00:12:47,206
Do you have any idea
how upset you just got?
307
00:12:47,249 --> 00:12:50,078
Well, it's-it's upsetting.
It's embarrassing. I'm-I'm...
308
00:12:50,122 --> 00:12:52,124
I-I...Well, it's nothing compared
to what we're doing here.
309
00:12:52,167 --> 00:12:53,821
We're...
[sighs]
310
00:12:53,865 --> 00:12:55,431
We're fighting for your life.
311
00:12:55,475 --> 00:12:56,868
We're fighting for your freedom.
312
00:12:56,911 --> 00:12:59,609
You're accused of killing a man,
and yet you sit here
313
00:12:59,653 --> 00:13:02,787
in front of these people who are
gonna judge you-- the people
314
00:13:02,830 --> 00:13:04,919
who are going to
decide your fate--
315
00:13:04,963 --> 00:13:07,052
and you seem
not the least bit upset
316
00:13:07,095 --> 00:13:09,271
that the man you claim
you didn't kill
317
00:13:09,315 --> 00:13:12,405
was taken from you
little more than a week ago.
318
00:13:12,448 --> 00:13:14,799
You don't look shocked,
you don't look sad.
319
00:13:14,842 --> 00:13:17,714
You look like you're ready
to run a board meeting.
320
00:13:22,632 --> 00:13:23,982
Do you miss him?
321
00:13:25,984 --> 00:13:27,986
Course I miss him.
322
00:13:30,727 --> 00:13:33,948
I don't mean to pry, but what
exactly are you writing down?
323
00:13:33,992 --> 00:13:35,602
It's just a note.
324
00:13:35,645 --> 00:13:37,865
Remind myself
to do all the things you said:
325
00:13:37,909 --> 00:13:41,347
look sad,
look like I'm in shock.
326
00:13:41,390 --> 00:13:43,001
[sighs]
Shall we go?
327
00:13:46,221 --> 00:13:49,877
Dr. Ortiz, as the Nassau County
medical examiner
328
00:13:49,921 --> 00:13:52,532
who first examined
Peter Thomas' corpse,
329
00:13:52,575 --> 00:13:55,665
can you share with us
the official cause of death?
330
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:58,843
Mm-hmm. Cause of death
was determined to be drowning
331
00:13:58,886 --> 00:14:01,323
after blunt force trauma
to the left temporal lobe,
332
00:14:01,367 --> 00:14:04,196
which is part of the head
just above the ear.
333
00:14:04,239 --> 00:14:06,894
And what can you
tell us about
334
00:14:06,938 --> 00:14:08,765
Mr. Thomas'
blood alcohol content?
335
00:14:08,809 --> 00:14:11,507
It was quite high-- .25--
336
00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:13,074
about three times
the legal limit.
337
00:14:13,118 --> 00:14:15,337
Now, your report
338
00:14:15,381 --> 00:14:18,253
indicates that Mr. Thomas
weighed over 200 pounds.
339
00:14:18,297 --> 00:14:21,343
Would the fact that he was so
intoxicated have made it harder
340
00:14:21,387 --> 00:14:24,999
or easier for a smaller person--
let's say someone
341
00:14:25,043 --> 00:14:27,001
the size of
the defendant--
342
00:14:27,045 --> 00:14:28,698
to overpower
Mr. Thomas and then
343
00:14:28,742 --> 00:14:30,744
knock him over
the side of the boat?
344
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:33,181
Seems to me
it'd make it easier.
345
00:14:33,225 --> 00:14:35,140
No further questions,
Your Honor.
346
00:14:38,578 --> 00:14:42,234
Remember you told me
how much you missed him?
347
00:14:42,277 --> 00:14:44,889
Wouldn't hurt to wince a bit
every time you heard his name.
348
00:14:44,932 --> 00:14:46,499
Mm?
BENNY:
Good afternoon, Dr. Ortiz.
349
00:14:46,542 --> 00:14:48,718
Now, just to recap.
350
00:14:48,762 --> 00:14:50,720
You are saying you believe
351
00:14:50,764 --> 00:14:53,027
someone struck Mr. Thomas
352
00:14:53,071 --> 00:14:55,900
in the back of the head,
creating...
353
00:14:55,943 --> 00:14:57,814
What was it you called it?
354
00:14:57,858 --> 00:14:59,599
Blunt force trauma.
355
00:14:59,642 --> 00:15:01,383
Exactly.
Blunt force trauma.
356
00:15:01,427 --> 00:15:04,647
And then either dumped
or pushed him into the water.
357
00:15:04,691 --> 00:15:05,953
ORTIZ:
As I said,
358
00:15:05,997 --> 00:15:08,129
that's what the evidence
seems to suggest.
359
00:15:08,173 --> 00:15:10,479
BENNY:
I see. But you
haven't actually
360
00:15:10,523 --> 00:15:13,178
found the object that inflicted
this blunt force trauma,
361
00:15:13,221 --> 00:15:15,136
have you?No, we have not.
362
00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:18,966
Then how can you be so sure
of the order of events?
363
00:15:19,010 --> 00:15:20,576
Couldn't Mr. Thomas,
364
00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:22,752
who you already
testified was
365
00:15:22,796 --> 00:15:26,713
incredibly intoxicated,
simply have lost his balance,
366
00:15:26,756 --> 00:15:28,367
tumbled off the side of the boat
367
00:15:28,410 --> 00:15:30,891
and hit his head
as he fell in the water?
368
00:15:30,935 --> 00:15:33,285
Well, that's certainly
a possibility,
369
00:15:33,328 --> 00:15:35,809
but not nearly as likely,
in my opinion.
370
00:15:35,852 --> 00:15:38,507
What informed
that particular opinion?
371
00:15:38,551 --> 00:15:41,119
The laceration
to the skull appears
372
00:15:41,162 --> 00:15:44,252
as if it would have required
a significant amount of force.
373
00:15:44,296 --> 00:15:47,603
Doesn't seem like a fall into
the water would get it done.
374
00:15:47,647 --> 00:15:50,955
What if...
another boat was passing by?
375
00:15:52,478 --> 00:15:55,437
What if Mr. Thomas's head
kept getting smashed
376
00:15:55,481 --> 00:15:58,832
on the stern of his own vessel
over and over again
377
00:15:58,875 --> 00:16:00,877
in the wake of the passing boat?
378
00:16:01,922 --> 00:16:03,793
Something wrong
with my theory?
379
00:16:03,837 --> 00:16:07,058
Is it any less plausible
than your theory,
380
00:16:07,101 --> 00:16:08,711
which is based on the assumption
381
00:16:08,755 --> 00:16:10,278
that my client's husband was hit
382
00:16:10,322 --> 00:16:12,628
with an object
no one can prove even exists?
383
00:16:12,672 --> 00:16:14,413
He's very good.
384
00:16:14,456 --> 00:16:15,980
Is the problem
385
00:16:16,023 --> 00:16:19,853
with my theory, Dr. Ortiz,
is that it makes
386
00:16:19,896 --> 00:16:21,637
Mr. Thomas' death
387
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:25,467
seem more likely
the result of a drunken mishap
388
00:16:25,511 --> 00:16:28,035
rather than homicide?
389
00:16:28,079 --> 00:16:29,471
Objection,
Your Honor.
390
00:16:29,515 --> 00:16:30,777
Counsel is
testifying.
391
00:16:30,820 --> 00:16:32,605
Sustained.
392
00:16:32,648 --> 00:16:36,304
The jury will disregard
counselor's last statements.
393
00:16:36,348 --> 00:16:38,524
Ask a question, Counselor.
394
00:16:38,567 --> 00:16:41,135
Actually, I have no further
questions, Your Honor.
395
00:16:41,179 --> 00:16:42,354
Thank you.
396
00:16:44,617 --> 00:16:46,793
LAWRENCE:
Mr. Colón,
397
00:16:46,836 --> 00:16:48,925
Dr. Bull, Mrs. Thomas,
398
00:16:48,969 --> 00:16:51,667
any way I could borrow
your legal counsel for a moment?
399
00:16:51,711 --> 00:16:53,756
There's something
I'd like to show them.
400
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,194
We just got these
from the Nassau County Police.
401
00:16:57,195 --> 00:16:58,674
What are we looking at?
402
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:01,982
It's a fire extinguisher made
especially for use on boats.
403
00:17:02,026 --> 00:17:05,072
Uh, they found it in the water
early this morning about
404
00:17:05,116 --> 00:17:08,075
300 yards from where they
discovered Peter Thomas' body
405
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,555
the other day.
406
00:17:09,598 --> 00:17:12,384
Serial number indicates
it was purchased by Mr. Thomas
407
00:17:12,427 --> 00:17:14,342
about four and a half years ago.
408
00:17:14,386 --> 00:17:16,170
It's dented.
409
00:17:16,214 --> 00:17:18,738
Consistent with the kind of dent
you might expect
410
00:17:18,781 --> 00:17:20,783
if it were used to, say...
411
00:17:20,827 --> 00:17:22,655
Hit someone on the head.
412
00:17:23,699 --> 00:17:25,266
Great minds.
413
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:27,921
Mm.There was still some blood
on it, some brain matter.
414
00:17:27,964 --> 00:17:29,575
Uh, we're having
everything tested.
415
00:17:29,618 --> 00:17:31,620
Uh, of course,
it was in the water over a week,
416
00:17:31,664 --> 00:17:33,144
so who knows
what the tests will show.
417
00:17:33,187 --> 00:17:35,102
But I wanted you
to be the second to know.
418
00:17:46,157 --> 00:17:47,767
Dad. Wake up.
419
00:17:47,810 --> 00:17:49,508
What are you doing here?
420
00:17:49,551 --> 00:17:50,944
Dad?
421
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:52,380
[sniffles]
Mm.
422
00:17:52,424 --> 00:17:53,642
You can't just sit in
front of my door like this.
423
00:17:53,686 --> 00:17:54,817
You're gonna
get me in trouble.
424
00:17:54,861 --> 00:17:55,992
I'm sorry.
425
00:17:56,036 --> 00:17:58,038
I didn't intend to fall asleep.
426
00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:00,345
[sighs]
427
00:18:00,388 --> 00:18:02,912
Been here for hours.
428
00:18:02,956 --> 00:18:04,479
What are you
doing here?
429
00:18:04,523 --> 00:18:07,613
Well, I called you,
like, 300 times.
430
00:18:07,656 --> 00:18:10,137
I texted you, like, a million.
431
00:18:10,181 --> 00:18:12,226
I came here to talk to you.
432
00:18:13,662 --> 00:18:15,055
To tell you something.
433
00:18:16,578 --> 00:18:19,233
[sighs]
Look, I-I know
you're not gonna believe me,
434
00:18:19,277 --> 00:18:21,888
but... I have been praying
about this,
435
00:18:21,931 --> 00:18:24,151
baby. I've been
436
00:18:24,195 --> 00:18:26,371
reading about it,
I've been thinking about it.
437
00:18:27,676 --> 00:18:29,504
And Anna, I know,
438
00:18:29,548 --> 00:18:31,680
deep in my heart,
that this is wrong.
439
00:18:31,724 --> 00:18:33,682
And I'm gonna keep telling you,
440
00:18:33,726 --> 00:18:36,685
every inch of the way,
how wrong I think it is,
441
00:18:36,729 --> 00:18:38,774
because maybe
I'll change your mind.
442
00:18:40,863 --> 00:18:43,692
But if I can't change your mind,
443
00:18:43,736 --> 00:18:47,087
you got to know there's no way
444
00:18:47,131 --> 00:18:49,611
I'd let you
go through this alone.
445
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,050
There's no way I would let you
go through any of this
446
00:18:54,094 --> 00:18:57,445
without being right there
by your side.
447
00:19:03,016 --> 00:19:05,236
[sighs]
448
00:19:05,279 --> 00:19:07,107
I promise you
I do not know
449
00:19:07,151 --> 00:19:10,241
how that fire extinguisher got
off the boat and into the water,
450
00:19:10,284 --> 00:19:12,199
much less
with the blood and the...
451
00:19:12,243 --> 00:19:13,896
[groans]
452
00:19:13,940 --> 00:19:15,724
...whatever else
you said was on it.
453
00:19:15,768 --> 00:19:16,899
BENNY:
They're telling us
454
00:19:16,943 --> 00:19:18,771
that Peter's blood
was all over it.
455
00:19:18,814 --> 00:19:20,207
And your fingerprints.
456
00:19:20,251 --> 00:19:22,601
Of course my fingerprints
were all over it.
457
00:19:22,644 --> 00:19:25,430
It belonged to me.
It-it was on my boat.
458
00:19:25,473 --> 00:19:27,562
That well may be,
459
00:19:27,606 --> 00:19:31,000
but we can't be sure a jury
is gonna see it that way.
460
00:19:31,044 --> 00:19:33,568
The fire extinguisher is proof
461
00:19:33,612 --> 00:19:35,831
that Peter's death
was no accident.
462
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:37,920
I had no reason to kill him.
463
00:19:37,964 --> 00:19:39,705
MARISSA:
But you told us your husband
464
00:19:39,748 --> 00:19:41,228
was having an affair.
465
00:19:41,272 --> 00:19:43,230
But that's not a reason
to kill someone.
466
00:19:43,274 --> 00:19:44,927
That's a reason
to divorce someone.
467
00:19:44,971 --> 00:19:47,800
Mrs. Thomas, we know
that if your husband
468
00:19:47,843 --> 00:19:50,106
had cheated, you would
be entitled to a divorce
469
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:52,500
without any obligation
to pay anything.
470
00:19:52,544 --> 00:19:54,502
No alimony, no asset sharing.
471
00:19:54,546 --> 00:19:55,982
Everything reverts back to you.
472
00:19:56,025 --> 00:19:57,505
Exactly.
473
00:19:57,549 --> 00:19:59,159
BENNY:
The problem is our investigators
474
00:19:59,203 --> 00:20:02,423
can find absolutely no
evidence of any affair.
475
00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:03,816
Nothing.
476
00:20:03,859 --> 00:20:06,993
Not a single text message,
not a single phone call,
477
00:20:07,036 --> 00:20:08,516
not a single credit card charge.
478
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,127
There's just no
concrete proof.
479
00:20:11,171 --> 00:20:13,956
And unfortunately, that
does give you motive.
480
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,351
Gentlemen... and lady,
481
00:20:17,395 --> 00:20:21,137
I am worth just shy
of a billion dollars.
482
00:20:21,181 --> 00:20:24,793
Are you suggesting that instead
of simply divorcing my husband
483
00:20:24,837 --> 00:20:27,143
and living off
a mere half a billion,
484
00:20:27,187 --> 00:20:29,407
I would choose to kill him?
485
00:20:30,451 --> 00:20:31,974
Really?
Does...
486
00:20:32,018 --> 00:20:34,499
does that make sense to anyone?
487
00:20:34,542 --> 00:20:35,804
[gavel bangs]
488
00:20:35,848 --> 00:20:39,025
The People would like to call
Helen Potter.
489
00:20:39,068 --> 00:20:40,548
[door opens]
490
00:20:40,592 --> 00:20:42,550
Who's Helen Potter?
491
00:20:42,594 --> 00:20:44,552
Helen Potter--
she's your neighbor.
492
00:20:44,596 --> 00:20:46,641
[gallery murmuring]
493
00:20:46,685 --> 00:20:47,990
LAWRENCE:
How do you know the Thomases,
494
00:20:48,034 --> 00:20:49,470
Ms. Potter?
495
00:20:49,514 --> 00:20:51,516
We live about
three houses apart.
496
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,779
Uh, I'm a full-timer.
497
00:20:53,822 --> 00:20:55,520
It means I live there
all the time. Uh,
498
00:20:55,563 --> 00:20:57,913
they're up weekends
and holidays.
499
00:20:57,957 --> 00:20:59,959
I guess you could say
we're neighbors.
500
00:21:00,002 --> 00:21:01,917
And your home, like their home,
501
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:03,876
sits on the lake
and looks out on the water,
502
00:21:03,919 --> 00:21:06,879
giving you a clear view
of their dock, their boat,
503
00:21:06,922 --> 00:21:09,316
a good portion
of the lake itself?Yes.
504
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,666
What did you see
on the date in question?
505
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:14,452
I saw Rachel and Peter
go out in the boat
506
00:21:14,495 --> 00:21:16,541
at around 11:00 in the morning.
507
00:21:16,584 --> 00:21:19,195
Uh, but that night,
when the boat returned,
508
00:21:19,239 --> 00:21:20,719
I only saw Rachel.
509
00:21:20,762 --> 00:21:23,722
And I-I didn't
see Peter at all.
510
00:21:23,765 --> 00:21:26,159
And were you aware
of any friction
511
00:21:26,202 --> 00:21:27,465
in your neighbor's marriage?
512
00:21:28,509 --> 00:21:30,294
I think everyone
513
00:21:30,337 --> 00:21:32,687
who lived in the neighborhood
was aware there was friction.
514
00:21:32,731 --> 00:21:34,776
Can you give the court
an example?
515
00:21:35,995 --> 00:21:38,345
Well, this year they threw
a party for Labor Day.
516
00:21:38,389 --> 00:21:40,521
All the neighbors were there.
517
00:21:40,565 --> 00:21:42,480
And Rachel started
a fight with Peter
518
00:21:42,523 --> 00:21:44,569
over the fact that he was
talking to other women.
519
00:21:44,612 --> 00:21:46,222
At one point talking to me.
520
00:21:46,266 --> 00:21:48,050
H-He tried to calm her.
521
00:21:48,094 --> 00:21:49,225
But he couldn't.
522
00:21:49,269 --> 00:21:50,357
She was yelling at him.
523
00:21:50,401 --> 00:21:51,576
Cursing at him.
524
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:54,622
I was embarrassed for him.
525
00:21:58,626 --> 00:22:01,803
BENNY:
So other than the fact
that your house
526
00:22:01,847 --> 00:22:04,371
is three houses away
from her house,
527
00:22:04,415 --> 00:22:07,156
how well would you say
you know Mrs. Thomas?
528
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,897
Excuse me?
529
00:22:08,941 --> 00:22:10,595
I-I'm not sure
I understand the question.
530
00:22:10,638 --> 00:22:13,424
Well, I was listening
to your testimony,
531
00:22:13,467 --> 00:22:16,383
and it sounded like you know
the Thomases quite well.
532
00:22:16,427 --> 00:22:17,993
So...
533
00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:21,170
how much time would you say
you've spent with the Thomases?
534
00:22:22,215 --> 00:22:23,738
Well, I mean...
535
00:22:23,782 --> 00:22:26,915
they have a Labor Day party
every year.
536
00:22:26,959 --> 00:22:28,352
Ever been to
dinner with them?
537
00:22:28,395 --> 00:22:29,962
No.
538
00:22:30,005 --> 00:22:32,965
So, clearly, you've been to
their house for their parties,
539
00:22:33,008 --> 00:22:35,446
has Mrs. Thomas
ever been to yours?
540
00:22:35,489 --> 00:22:37,535
No.
541
00:22:37,578 --> 00:22:39,928
Ah. I see.
542
00:22:39,972 --> 00:22:41,539
And how about Mr. Thomas?
543
00:22:45,107 --> 00:22:47,327
Oh, that's okay. That's
all right. Let me ask
544
00:22:47,371 --> 00:22:49,198
a different question.
Now, you mentioned
545
00:22:49,242 --> 00:22:51,200
that on the night in question,
546
00:22:51,244 --> 00:22:53,289
you only saw Mrs. Thomas
547
00:22:53,333 --> 00:22:55,030
leave the boat.
Is that correct?
548
00:22:55,074 --> 00:22:58,207
Yes. Mr. Thomas
was nowhere to be seen.
549
00:22:58,251 --> 00:23:01,863
But I'm sure you're aware
that Mrs. Thomas explained
550
00:23:01,907 --> 00:23:03,822
to the police,
to the best of her knowledge,
551
00:23:03,865 --> 00:23:06,955
that Mr. Thomas
was in the sleeping compartment.
552
00:23:06,999 --> 00:23:09,958
Okay. I'm just not sure
I believe that.
553
00:23:10,002 --> 00:23:11,177
Really?
554
00:23:11,220 --> 00:23:12,961
Why not?
555
00:23:13,005 --> 00:23:14,963
Because every time
they went out on the boat,
556
00:23:15,007 --> 00:23:17,009
it was always Peter
who docked it.
557
00:23:17,052 --> 00:23:18,967
Even if he ended up
sleeping on the boat.
558
00:23:19,011 --> 00:23:20,447
He always tied it up.
559
00:23:20,491 --> 00:23:23,232
That was just... his thing.
560
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:24,973
Really?
Every single time?
561
00:23:25,017 --> 00:23:26,322
Ha!
562
00:23:26,366 --> 00:23:30,065
Wow. For someone who...
hadn't really spent
563
00:23:30,109 --> 00:23:33,068
a lot of time with them,
you certainly know a lot
564
00:23:33,112 --> 00:23:34,896
about the Thomases
and their habits.
565
00:23:34,940 --> 00:23:36,202
How is that?Objection.
566
00:23:36,245 --> 00:23:38,378
Counsel is badgering
the witness.
567
00:23:38,422 --> 00:23:40,685
Ms. Potter is not the one
on trial here.
568
00:23:40,728 --> 00:23:42,904
BENNY:
Your Honor, I'm not trying
to badger anyone.
569
00:23:42,948 --> 00:23:45,733
I'm just trying to understand
how Ms. Potter
570
00:23:45,777 --> 00:23:48,344
came to her conclusions
when she seems to have had
571
00:23:48,388 --> 00:23:50,782
very little contact
with my client.
572
00:23:52,218 --> 00:23:55,177
Objection overruled.
Witness will answer
573
00:23:55,221 --> 00:23:57,223
the question.That-That's all right.
That's all right.
574
00:23:57,266 --> 00:23:59,051
Let me come at this
a different way.
575
00:23:59,094 --> 00:24:02,402
Ms. Potter, on any given night,
how often do you check
576
00:24:02,446 --> 00:24:04,796
whether the Thomases' boat
is at their dock?
577
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:06,885
I mean, it...
578
00:24:06,928 --> 00:24:08,582
seems like you check
quite a bit.
579
00:24:08,626 --> 00:24:11,498
Wh...
It's not that I check.
580
00:24:11,542 --> 00:24:13,195
I-I can see it from my house.
581
00:24:13,239 --> 00:24:15,110
It's just something I notice.
582
00:24:15,154 --> 00:24:16,982
Mm.
Well, forgive me,
583
00:24:17,025 --> 00:24:18,940
but isn't that a little curious,
584
00:24:18,984 --> 00:24:22,422
considering you live
three houses down?
585
00:24:22,466 --> 00:24:24,598
I mean, could you see their dock
586
00:24:24,642 --> 00:24:26,252
from every vantage point
of your home?
587
00:24:26,295 --> 00:24:27,514
No.
588
00:24:27,558 --> 00:24:29,908
Not every vantage point.
589
00:24:31,257 --> 00:24:33,520
But-But I can see it very
clearly from my upper deck.
590
00:24:33,564 --> 00:24:35,435
So how does that work?
Do you just
591
00:24:35,479 --> 00:24:38,220
sit in your upper deck all day,
592
00:24:38,264 --> 00:24:40,701
watching whether Peter or Rachel
593
00:24:40,745 --> 00:24:42,573
dock the boat that evening?
594
00:24:42,616 --> 00:24:45,184
I mean, that is a little
peculiar, wouldn't you say?
595
00:24:45,227 --> 00:24:46,620
Objection.
596
00:24:46,664 --> 00:24:49,449
Uh, Your Honor,
counsel is badgering once again.
597
00:24:49,493 --> 00:24:50,842
Sustained.
598
00:24:50,885 --> 00:24:52,539
Tread lightly, Mr. Colón.
599
00:24:52,583 --> 00:24:55,107
Ms. Potter, you testified
600
00:24:55,150 --> 00:24:56,978
that Mrs. Thomas
601
00:24:57,022 --> 00:24:58,240
had never been to your house.
602
00:24:58,284 --> 00:24:59,677
How about Mr. Thomas?
603
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,462
And let me remind you
you are still under oath.
604
00:25:04,856 --> 00:25:07,772
He... may have.
605
00:25:07,815 --> 00:25:09,034
May have?[gallery murmuring]
606
00:25:09,077 --> 00:25:11,123
[gavel bangs]
607
00:25:11,166 --> 00:25:12,777
BENNY:
I'm sorry.
608
00:25:12,820 --> 00:25:14,692
I need a yes or a no.
609
00:25:16,302 --> 00:25:17,477
Yes.
610
00:25:17,521 --> 00:25:18,957
[murmuring resumes]
611
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,915
[gavel bangs]BENNY: Well...
612
00:25:20,959 --> 00:25:23,875
that changes things a bit,
doesn't it?
613
00:25:24,963 --> 00:25:26,268
Could you please tell the court
614
00:25:26,312 --> 00:25:28,096
what Mr. Thomas was doing
at your house?
615
00:25:28,140 --> 00:25:30,098
I don't know
what you're suggesting,
616
00:25:30,142 --> 00:25:32,144
but Peter and I
were just neighbors.
617
00:25:32,187 --> 00:25:35,451
I wasn't suggesting anything,
Ms. Potter.
618
00:25:35,495 --> 00:25:36,844
But given where your mind went,
619
00:25:36,888 --> 00:25:38,324
it tells me everything
I need to know.
620
00:25:38,367 --> 00:25:39,455
Objection.
Argumentative.
621
00:25:39,499 --> 00:25:41,849
Sustained.BENNY: I apologize,
622
00:25:41,893 --> 00:25:43,459
Your Honor.
623
00:25:43,503 --> 00:25:45,940
But if it pleases the court,
I just have one more question.
624
00:25:45,984 --> 00:25:48,247
So, clearly...
625
00:25:48,290 --> 00:25:50,075
you made it your business
626
00:25:50,118 --> 00:25:53,992
to keep an eye
on Peter's comings and goings.
627
00:25:54,035 --> 00:25:55,210
So did you, by any chance,
628
00:25:55,254 --> 00:25:58,605
go down to the Thomases' boat
629
00:25:58,649 --> 00:26:00,520
to check on your neighbor
630
00:26:00,564 --> 00:26:02,435
when you saw
that Rachel docked it
631
00:26:02,478 --> 00:26:04,524
and went up to her house
that night?
632
00:26:04,568 --> 00:26:06,613
Perhaps get into
a fight with him
633
00:26:06,657 --> 00:26:08,746
over his refusal
to leave his wife?
634
00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:09,660
No!
635
00:26:09,703 --> 00:26:11,270
Objection.
No foundation.
636
00:26:11,313 --> 00:26:13,446
Sustained.
Mr. Colón.
637
00:26:13,489 --> 00:26:15,361
My apologies, Your Honor.
638
00:26:15,404 --> 00:26:17,450
I have no further questions.
639
00:26:17,493 --> 00:26:19,365
[Danny clears throat]
640
00:26:23,325 --> 00:26:25,414
And what brings you
to Nassau County?
641
00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:27,678
The train.
642
00:26:27,721 --> 00:26:30,202
I just felt funny
e-mailing or texting you this.
643
00:26:30,245 --> 00:26:31,856
What am I looking at here?
644
00:26:31,899 --> 00:26:33,118
It's a death certificate.
645
00:26:33,161 --> 00:26:36,382
A veterinary death
certificate.
646
00:26:36,425 --> 00:26:38,210
Remember how Rachel told
you she hurt her wrist
647
00:26:38,253 --> 00:26:40,647
while she was
walking her dog?
648
00:26:40,691 --> 00:26:42,997
Rachel's dog was put
down about a year ago.
649
00:26:43,041 --> 00:26:45,347
And, according to the vet,
she never got a new one.
650
00:26:45,391 --> 00:26:46,697
She lied.
651
00:26:53,181 --> 00:26:55,575
You ever wonder
about our client?
652
00:26:55,619 --> 00:26:59,274
The way she has such
a tenuous grasp on her memory?
653
00:26:59,318 --> 00:27:01,233
The way she can't remember
what happened
654
00:27:01,276 --> 00:27:03,888
after her fight
with Peter on the boat?
655
00:27:03,931 --> 00:27:06,020
Mm.
656
00:27:06,064 --> 00:27:08,196
It's like I said from
the very beginning--
657
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,460
seems like a very
convenient lapse.
658
00:27:11,504 --> 00:27:13,027
Yeah.
659
00:27:13,071 --> 00:27:14,899
But it's not isolated.
660
00:27:14,942 --> 00:27:18,293
Today, she did not recognize
her neighbor at first.
661
00:27:18,337 --> 00:27:20,078
Had no idea who she was.
662
00:27:20,121 --> 00:27:22,820
And now Danny tells me her dog,
663
00:27:22,863 --> 00:27:24,560
the one who
yanked her to the ground--
664
00:27:24,604 --> 00:27:27,389
it's how she hurt her wrist--
665
00:27:27,433 --> 00:27:29,130
dog's been dead for a year.
666
00:27:30,131 --> 00:27:33,004
That's weird.Mm.
667
00:27:35,136 --> 00:27:36,747
Dr. Bull.
668
00:27:36,790 --> 00:27:38,270
Mrs. Thomas.
669
00:27:38,313 --> 00:27:39,750
Anything new on my neighbor?
670
00:27:39,793 --> 00:27:42,535
Her prints show up on the
fire extinguisher, perhaps?
671
00:27:42,578 --> 00:27:44,363
They did not.
672
00:27:44,406 --> 00:27:47,105
Your neighbor actually has
a rock-solid alibi.
673
00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:50,238
And she voluntarily turned over
her home security DVR
674
00:27:50,282 --> 00:27:52,937
and it clearly shows
that she was home all day
675
00:27:52,980 --> 00:27:55,504
and all night while you and
your husband were on the boat,
676
00:27:55,548 --> 00:27:58,420
but that's not what I wanted
to discuss with you.
677
00:28:00,727 --> 00:28:04,513
Do you know what
early-onset Alzheimer's is?
678
00:28:13,871 --> 00:28:16,351
Anyone out there in the hall
right behind me?
679
00:28:18,179 --> 00:28:19,877
No.
680
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,617
This room is soundproof,
but I wouldn't want anyone
681
00:28:21,661 --> 00:28:23,141
to read my lips.
682
00:28:23,184 --> 00:28:26,666
Yes.
I'm familiar.
683
00:28:26,710 --> 00:28:29,277
It's a kind of dementia.
684
00:28:29,321 --> 00:28:31,976
50 million people have it.
685
00:28:32,019 --> 00:28:35,283
When I flew to Britain
two and a half years ago
686
00:28:35,327 --> 00:28:36,545
to be tested under a pseudonym,
687
00:28:36,589 --> 00:28:39,331
they said mine was mild.
688
00:28:39,374 --> 00:28:42,638
Mild, moderate, severe--
those are the stages.
689
00:28:42,682 --> 00:28:45,119
I was told mine
would surely move
690
00:28:45,163 --> 00:28:46,773
to moderate at some point,
691
00:28:46,817 --> 00:28:48,862
but it was impossible
to say when.
692
00:28:49,863 --> 00:28:51,647
I'm so sorry.
693
00:28:51,691 --> 00:28:54,346
You understand
that if my board of directors
694
00:28:54,389 --> 00:28:56,478
know about my diagnosis,
695
00:28:56,522 --> 00:28:59,264
I will be fired
from my own company.
696
00:28:59,307 --> 00:29:01,179
You've known all along.
697
00:29:01,222 --> 00:29:04,312
That's why you write things down
in those notebooks.
698
00:29:05,705 --> 00:29:07,751
You want to make sure
nothing gets away from you.
699
00:29:10,884 --> 00:29:13,191
You get used to being
the sharpest mind in the room,
700
00:29:13,234 --> 00:29:15,628
and when that mind
no longer cooperates,
701
00:29:15,671 --> 00:29:17,325
you develop tricks.
702
00:29:18,631 --> 00:29:21,852
Well... for quite a while
you had me fooled,
703
00:29:21,895 --> 00:29:24,071
and I'm a trained psychologist.
704
00:29:25,377 --> 00:29:28,859
I know you mean that as
some sort of compliment, but...
705
00:29:28,902 --> 00:29:31,862
I've lived my whole life
working, building,
706
00:29:31,905 --> 00:29:33,951
trying to create a legacy,
707
00:29:33,994 --> 00:29:36,736
trying to be someone
people will remember.
708
00:29:36,780 --> 00:29:38,869
Then you wake up one day
to discover
709
00:29:38,912 --> 00:29:41,349
you won't even remember
yourself.
710
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:47,878
I don't have close friends,
never had kids.
711
00:29:47,921 --> 00:29:49,618
Barely know my nieces
and nephews.
712
00:29:49,662 --> 00:29:50,968
I'm always working.
713
00:29:51,011 --> 00:29:52,796
My husband, the one person
714
00:29:52,839 --> 00:29:55,973
I had any true
connection to is...
715
00:29:56,016 --> 00:29:58,366
One of the hallmarks
of this disease
716
00:29:58,410 --> 00:30:00,847
is that people
become aggressive.
717
00:30:00,891 --> 00:30:02,109
They have episodes of violence
718
00:30:02,153 --> 00:30:05,286
that are totally
out of character.
719
00:30:06,722 --> 00:30:09,334
Are you suggesting
I might have killed Peter?
720
00:30:09,377 --> 00:30:11,379
I think it's certainly
a possibility.
721
00:30:11,423 --> 00:30:14,905
And knowing
what I know now,
722
00:30:14,948 --> 00:30:16,602
I'm considering
making your disease
723
00:30:16,645 --> 00:30:18,952
a cornerstone of our defense.
724
00:30:18,996 --> 00:30:20,911
You should
change your plea
725
00:30:20,954 --> 00:30:23,827
to not guilty by
reason of insanity.
726
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:27,439
You have an opinion about that?
727
00:30:27,482 --> 00:30:29,310
Would you and your company
728
00:30:29,354 --> 00:30:31,008
like to continue on
as my legal team?
729
00:30:31,051 --> 00:30:32,661
Very much.
730
00:30:32,705 --> 00:30:34,620
Then you would do well to forget
everything you said here
731
00:30:34,663 --> 00:30:38,232
this morning, most especially
that last suggestion.
732
00:30:39,712 --> 00:30:41,714
Do we understand each other?
733
00:30:42,758 --> 00:30:44,195
Perfectly.
734
00:30:45,239 --> 00:30:47,633
I'll see you in court tomorrow.
735
00:30:47,676 --> 00:30:49,678
See you in court.
736
00:30:54,509 --> 00:30:56,511
We have the now-famous
fire extinguisher
737
00:30:56,555 --> 00:31:00,994
with blood, bits of skull
and brain matter.
738
00:31:01,038 --> 00:31:03,344
Does anyone know
when lunch is getting here?Taylor.
739
00:31:03,388 --> 00:31:04,911
TAYLOR:
You know we were
all thinking it.
740
00:31:04,955 --> 00:31:06,739
Shattered wine glass.
741
00:31:06,782 --> 00:31:08,915
One unshattered wine glass.
742
00:31:08,959 --> 00:31:11,396
Two empty bottles of wine.
743
00:31:11,439 --> 00:31:13,311
One empty bottle of scotch.
744
00:31:13,354 --> 00:31:15,400
And last
but not least...
745
00:31:16,836 --> 00:31:19,578
...a plastic bag
inside a plastic bag.
746
00:31:19,621 --> 00:31:21,188
Looks like one
of those bags you get
747
00:31:21,232 --> 00:31:22,581
from the fruit
and vegetable aisle.
748
00:31:22,624 --> 00:31:24,626
That doesn't make
any sense. It has, uh,
749
00:31:24,670 --> 00:31:26,933
traces of lime, lipstick,
750
00:31:26,977 --> 00:31:29,631
an eyelash... and sputum.
751
00:31:29,675 --> 00:31:32,417
Really?
752
00:31:32,460 --> 00:31:34,114
Whose sputum?
753
00:31:34,158 --> 00:31:36,160
According to this,
Rachel's sputum.
754
00:31:40,294 --> 00:31:43,254
You wanted to see me
before court this morning.
755
00:31:43,297 --> 00:31:45,125
Yeah.
756
00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:48,346
I think we have a good shot
at accomplishing our goals here.
757
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:50,652
Excellent.
758
00:31:50,696 --> 00:31:54,265
When this is over--
when we prevail--
759
00:31:54,308 --> 00:31:56,441
I need you to promise me
760
00:31:56,484 --> 00:31:58,138
you will resign.
761
00:31:58,182 --> 00:32:00,836
You're entitled
to your privacy,
762
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,273
but people pay you
for your judgment.
763
00:32:02,316 --> 00:32:04,188
And to the extent
that's compromised...
764
00:32:04,231 --> 00:32:05,841
And if I say no?
765
00:32:05,885 --> 00:32:07,582
Then I'll withdraw
from the case.
766
00:32:07,626 --> 00:32:09,976
Benny can't.
Judge won't allow it.
767
00:32:10,020 --> 00:32:12,892
But I'm the one
calling the shots.
768
00:32:12,936 --> 00:32:14,807
And without me, I'd say
769
00:32:14,850 --> 00:32:17,941
you're looking at no less
than 20 years in prison.
770
00:32:20,726 --> 00:32:22,815
You're a wealthy woman, Rachel.
771
00:32:22,858 --> 00:32:25,426
For God's sake,
772
00:32:25,470 --> 00:32:27,037
own your destiny.
773
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,908
Don't let it own you.
774
00:32:28,952 --> 00:32:31,998
Resign with dignity.
775
00:32:32,042 --> 00:32:33,304
If you don't,
776
00:32:33,347 --> 00:32:35,610
if...
777
00:32:35,654 --> 00:32:38,874
you manage to get away
with no jail time,
778
00:32:38,918 --> 00:32:41,007
the truth about your condition
will leak out.
779
00:32:41,051 --> 00:32:43,444
It always does.
And you'll be fired.
780
00:32:43,488 --> 00:32:44,837
And sued.
781
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,318
And everything you have spent
all this time building
782
00:32:47,361 --> 00:32:49,537
will have been for naught.
783
00:32:49,581 --> 00:32:51,061
BENNY:
Dr. Miller,
784
00:32:51,104 --> 00:32:54,412
if you could please explain to
the jury exactly who you are
785
00:32:54,455 --> 00:32:56,370
and what it is you do.
786
00:32:56,414 --> 00:32:58,851
I am a doctor
of forensic science.
787
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:02,463
I worked for the Nassau County
Police Department for 25 years.
788
00:33:02,507 --> 00:33:04,988
I led their forensic unit
789
00:33:05,031 --> 00:33:07,033
for 15 of those.
790
00:33:07,077 --> 00:33:09,079
Then I retired
791
00:33:09,122 --> 00:33:11,385
and opened up
my own private shop
792
00:33:11,429 --> 00:33:12,821
about five years ago,
793
00:33:12,865 --> 00:33:15,824
and I haven't had
a day off since.
794
00:33:15,868 --> 00:33:18,871
Now, when you say you opened up
your own private shop,
795
00:33:18,914 --> 00:33:21,004
can you please explain
the nature
796
00:33:21,047 --> 00:33:23,745
of your work.The short version is I analyze
797
00:33:23,789 --> 00:33:26,922
all the elements
of a given crime scene
798
00:33:26,966 --> 00:33:29,055
in an attempt to create
799
00:33:29,099 --> 00:33:31,884
a likely picture
of what actually happened.
800
00:33:31,927 --> 00:33:33,277
The order of events.
801
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,453
Why it happened.
802
00:33:35,496 --> 00:33:37,324
I like to think of myself
803
00:33:37,368 --> 00:33:39,892
as a criminal puzzle solver.
804
00:33:39,935 --> 00:33:41,154
Ah.
Excellent.
805
00:33:41,198 --> 00:33:42,590
And did you have occasion
806
00:33:42,634 --> 00:33:45,115
to review the evidence
in our case?
807
00:33:45,158 --> 00:33:46,638
Just came
from the evidence locker.
808
00:33:46,681 --> 00:33:48,553
I believe I've seen all of it.
809
00:33:48,596 --> 00:33:52,078
Now, this plastic bag
810
00:33:52,122 --> 00:33:54,733
that you and the jury are
seeing on the monitor--
811
00:33:54,776 --> 00:33:56,865
that was recovered
from the crime scene,
812
00:33:56,909 --> 00:33:58,606
was it not?Yes, sir.
813
00:33:58,650 --> 00:34:00,956
Recovered, tagged
and entered into evidence.
814
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,612
And you believe this plastic bag
is of enormous significance,
815
00:34:04,656 --> 00:34:05,787
don't you?MILLER:
I do.
816
00:34:05,831 --> 00:34:08,007
It was recovered
from the boat
817
00:34:08,051 --> 00:34:09,487
on the port side
818
00:34:09,530 --> 00:34:12,838
near where the prosecution
believes that the struggle
819
00:34:12,881 --> 00:34:16,276
between the defendant
and Peter Thomas took place.
820
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,062
And why are we just hearing
about this bag now?
821
00:34:19,105 --> 00:34:21,586
Well, I can't answer that.
But it appears
822
00:34:21,629 --> 00:34:25,242
that even though the bag
was submitted for lab testing,
823
00:34:25,285 --> 00:34:28,158
nobody drilled down
on the results
824
00:34:28,201 --> 00:34:31,509
because a plastic produce bag
825
00:34:31,552 --> 00:34:34,338
didn't figure into the narrative
that police had come up with.
826
00:34:34,381 --> 00:34:35,600
But you
827
00:34:35,643 --> 00:34:37,645
have drilled down
on the lab results.
828
00:34:37,689 --> 00:34:39,256
And what did they reveal?
829
00:34:39,299 --> 00:34:41,910
MILLER:
They reveal that
the bag contained,
830
00:34:41,954 --> 00:34:43,956
in addition to
lime remnants,
831
00:34:43,999 --> 00:34:46,045
smeared traces of lipstick,
832
00:34:46,089 --> 00:34:48,221
sunscreen, an eyelash
833
00:34:48,265 --> 00:34:50,310
and a significant amount
of sputum.
834
00:34:50,354 --> 00:34:51,616
I see.
835
00:34:51,659 --> 00:34:54,314
And can you please
explain to the jury
836
00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:56,403
what sputum is,
837
00:34:56,447 --> 00:34:57,665
in layman's terms.
838
00:34:57,709 --> 00:35:00,581
It's a combination of mucus,
saliva and blood
839
00:35:00,625 --> 00:35:03,715
usually coughed up
from the lower airways.
840
00:35:03,758 --> 00:35:05,369
And did you conduct
841
00:35:05,412 --> 00:35:09,199
a DNA comparison to determine
the origin of the sputum?
842
00:35:09,242 --> 00:35:12,027
I didn't have to.
The police did, and it belonged
843
00:35:12,071 --> 00:35:14,465
to the defendant,
Rachel Thomas.
844
00:35:14,508 --> 00:35:16,771
[gallery murmuring]BENNY: And based on your
knowledge and experience,
845
00:35:16,815 --> 00:35:20,601
how do you explain the presence
of her sputum in the bag?
846
00:35:20,645 --> 00:35:22,125
Well,
847
00:35:22,168 --> 00:35:25,128
it seems to be the by-product
of a physical struggle
848
00:35:25,171 --> 00:35:26,955
of the kind that might arise
849
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:29,044
if someone had placed the bag
850
00:35:29,088 --> 00:35:31,090
over Mrs. Thomas' head
851
00:35:31,134 --> 00:35:33,745
in an attempt to suffocate her.
852
00:35:33,788 --> 00:35:35,138
FOLEY:
Quiet, please.[gavel bangs]
853
00:35:35,181 --> 00:35:36,443
Don't force me to clear
854
00:35:36,487 --> 00:35:38,663
the courtroom.He tried to kill me?
855
00:35:38,706 --> 00:35:40,839
I believe so.
856
00:35:42,580 --> 00:35:44,321
Your witness.
857
00:35:50,588 --> 00:35:52,503
Dr. Miller,
858
00:35:52,546 --> 00:35:55,288
everything you just described--
859
00:35:55,332 --> 00:35:57,638
it's really just a guess,
isn't it?
860
00:35:57,682 --> 00:36:01,425
I mean, you have no way
of knowing that's what happened.
861
00:36:01,468 --> 00:36:03,557
Knowing?
Well, of course not.
862
00:36:03,601 --> 00:36:05,559
There were no eyewitnesses,
863
00:36:05,603 --> 00:36:09,041
and the defendant
doesn't remember what happened.
864
00:36:09,084 --> 00:36:10,173
A yes or no, please.
865
00:36:11,435 --> 00:36:13,828
Yes, I have no way of knowing.
866
00:36:13,872 --> 00:36:17,658
All I can do is apply
everything I've learned,
867
00:36:17,702 --> 00:36:19,747
everything I know,
and combine that
868
00:36:19,791 --> 00:36:22,750
with the irrefutable facts
in front of me,
869
00:36:22,794 --> 00:36:26,319
just like I've been doing
for the past three decades.
870
00:36:26,363 --> 00:36:28,495
Just like I've done for you
871
00:36:28,539 --> 00:36:32,282
over the past-- what is it--
seven or eight cases
872
00:36:32,325 --> 00:36:34,153
over the last few years.
873
00:36:34,197 --> 00:36:36,373
No further questions,
Your Honor.
874
00:36:37,635 --> 00:36:40,246
We just got
our first two greens.
875
00:36:40,290 --> 00:36:42,640
BENNY:
Dr. Allendale, we asked you
876
00:36:42,683 --> 00:36:45,338
to examine Rachel's mugshots,
877
00:36:45,382 --> 00:36:46,644
which were taken
878
00:36:46,687 --> 00:36:49,560
the morning Peter
was discovered missing.
879
00:36:49,603 --> 00:36:51,214
As a medical expert,
880
00:36:51,257 --> 00:36:53,564
what do you see
when you look at these?
881
00:36:53,607 --> 00:36:55,261
Well, the first thing
that jumps out at you
882
00:36:55,305 --> 00:36:58,351
is Mrs. Thomas' red, puffy eyes.
883
00:36:58,395 --> 00:36:59,744
BENNY:
Are those from crying?
884
00:36:59,787 --> 00:37:02,181
ALLENDALE:
No, because in addition,
you also have
885
00:37:02,225 --> 00:37:05,619
broken capillaries
beneath each eye.
886
00:37:05,663 --> 00:37:08,753
That combination is consistent
887
00:37:08,796 --> 00:37:11,277
with someone
who's had their airway blocked.
888
00:37:11,321 --> 00:37:12,626
BENNY:
Hmm.
889
00:37:12,670 --> 00:37:14,280
Sort of thing
that might happen
890
00:37:14,324 --> 00:37:16,587
if someone puts a plastic bag
over your head?
891
00:37:16,630 --> 00:37:17,718
Precisely.
892
00:37:18,589 --> 00:37:20,068
We just got our third green.
893
00:37:20,112 --> 00:37:21,635
Do tell.BENNY: You also studied
894
00:37:21,679 --> 00:37:24,421
the X-rays of my client's wrist.
895
00:37:24,464 --> 00:37:25,857
What did you conclude
from those?
896
00:37:25,900 --> 00:37:29,164
Mrs. Thomas had a sprain
897
00:37:29,208 --> 00:37:32,951
to the ulnar aspect
of her forearm,
898
00:37:32,994 --> 00:37:35,214
which is
almost always indicative
899
00:37:35,258 --> 00:37:39,000
of someone
attempting to block a blow.
900
00:37:39,044 --> 00:37:41,394
It's actually one
of the hallmarks
901
00:37:41,438 --> 00:37:43,788
of a defensive injury.
902
00:37:43,831 --> 00:37:45,137
A defensive injury.
903
00:37:46,269 --> 00:37:47,922
I see.
904
00:37:47,966 --> 00:37:50,447
Now, let's talk about
the victim's injuries.
905
00:37:50,490 --> 00:37:53,232
Peter's lacerations
to the skull.
906
00:37:53,276 --> 00:37:55,887
Now, what we're looking at here
are the injuries
907
00:37:55,930 --> 00:37:59,064
believed to have been caused
by the fire extinguisher.
908
00:37:59,107 --> 00:38:01,327
What can you tell us
about these?ALLENDALE: Again,
909
00:38:01,371 --> 00:38:04,678
to my eye,
these are defensive injuries
910
00:38:04,722 --> 00:38:07,551
based on the angle
and the speed.
911
00:38:07,594 --> 00:38:09,640
My guess is
912
00:38:09,683 --> 00:38:10,858
that they were delivered
by someone
913
00:38:10,902 --> 00:38:13,557
who was being restrained
in some way.
914
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,037
Say, someone with a plastic bag
over their head?
915
00:38:16,081 --> 00:38:17,952
It's certainly possible.
916
00:38:17,996 --> 00:38:18,997
Objection.
917
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,520
Defense attorney is speculating,
918
00:38:20,564 --> 00:38:23,044
and his expert witness
is swearing to it.
919
00:38:23,088 --> 00:38:24,437
Objection sustained.
920
00:38:24,481 --> 00:38:25,873
Mr. Colón,
921
00:38:25,917 --> 00:38:28,746
I need you to bring this
to some sort of conclusion.
922
00:38:28,789 --> 00:38:31,792
Some sort of conclusion
that isn't speculative.
923
00:38:31,836 --> 00:38:32,924
Of course, Your Honor.
924
00:38:32,967 --> 00:38:34,969
Absolutely, Your Honor.
925
00:38:35,013 --> 00:38:38,277
Now, you keep mentioning...
926
00:38:38,321 --> 00:38:40,497
defensive wounds,
927
00:38:40,540 --> 00:38:42,803
defensive injuries.It all makes a lot more sense
928
00:38:42,847 --> 00:38:45,458
if we think of the accused
as the victim
929
00:38:45,502 --> 00:38:48,461
and her dead husband
as the attacker.
930
00:38:48,505 --> 00:38:50,420
[gallery murmuring]BENNY:
I see.
931
00:38:52,465 --> 00:38:54,424
So...
932
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:56,730
my client as the victim
933
00:38:56,774 --> 00:38:59,907
and the deceased
as the attacker.
934
00:38:59,951 --> 00:39:01,082
Got it.
935
00:39:01,126 --> 00:39:03,781
Thank you,
Dr. Allendale.
936
00:39:03,824 --> 00:39:05,260
No further questions,
Your Honor.
937
00:39:05,304 --> 00:39:06,914
The defense rests.
938
00:39:07,915 --> 00:39:10,309
I am staring at seven green.
939
00:39:12,137 --> 00:39:14,400
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
940
00:39:14,444 --> 00:39:17,360
"beyond a reasonable doubt."
941
00:39:18,535 --> 00:39:21,102
That's what the prosecution
told you
942
00:39:21,146 --> 00:39:22,887
when we began this trial,
943
00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:25,498
that they would prove
beyond reasonable doubt
944
00:39:25,542 --> 00:39:28,240
that my client was guilty
of second-degree murder.
945
00:39:29,372 --> 00:39:30,808
Well...
946
00:39:30,851 --> 00:39:33,985
how's this for reasonable doubt?
947
00:39:34,028 --> 00:39:37,771
Their victim
tried to kill my client.
948
00:39:37,815 --> 00:39:38,990
Why?
949
00:39:39,033 --> 00:39:40,774
'Cause she loved him.
950
00:39:40,818 --> 00:39:43,560
She didn't want
the marriage to end.
951
00:39:43,603 --> 00:39:45,344
Even though
he was seeing somebody else,
952
00:39:45,388 --> 00:39:47,607
even though
she could have ended the union
953
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:49,609
without it costing her a dime.
954
00:39:50,610 --> 00:39:52,482
She loved him.
955
00:39:52,525 --> 00:39:54,309
And she didn't want to live
without him.
956
00:39:54,353 --> 00:39:57,661
Now, I'm guessing
that when he finally broke down
957
00:39:57,704 --> 00:39:59,358
and told her it was over,
958
00:39:59,402 --> 00:40:01,404
she told him that if
959
00:40:01,447 --> 00:40:04,842
he forced her hand,
he'd leave with nothing.
960
00:40:06,496 --> 00:40:10,021
And that's when he decided
his only option was to kill her.
961
00:40:11,065 --> 00:40:14,417
Say she drank too much
and fell overboard
962
00:40:14,460 --> 00:40:17,420
and live happily ever after
with her fortune.
963
00:40:18,682 --> 00:40:20,248
Well, ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
964
00:40:20,292 --> 00:40:23,121
you cannot convict somebody
for loving their mate too much.
965
00:40:23,164 --> 00:40:26,037
You cannot convict somebody
for defending themselves
966
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,473
after they've been attacked.
967
00:40:27,517 --> 00:40:29,693
And you cannot convict somebody
968
00:40:29,736 --> 00:40:32,217
for not remembering any of it.
969
00:40:34,088 --> 00:40:37,091
None of these
things are a crime.
970
00:40:38,876 --> 00:40:40,660
Thank you for your patience.
971
00:40:40,704 --> 00:40:43,097
We are relying
on your good judgment.
972
00:40:43,141 --> 00:40:44,795
Thank you very much.
973
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,668
FOLEY:
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury,
974
00:40:48,712 --> 00:40:50,496
that concludes the testimony.
975
00:40:50,540 --> 00:40:52,498
The court officer
will escort youWe have nine greens, Bull.
976
00:40:52,542 --> 00:40:54,195
to the jury room,
where you will beginNine greens.
977
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:55,545
your deliberations.
978
00:40:58,548 --> 00:41:00,506
Rachel,
979
00:41:00,550 --> 00:41:03,814
I have been doing this
a very long time.
980
00:41:03,857 --> 00:41:07,382
And while I've made it policy
not to speculate about verdicts
981
00:41:07,426 --> 00:41:09,646
before juries actually
announce them,
982
00:41:09,689 --> 00:41:12,344
I would be stunned
983
00:41:12,387 --> 00:41:14,912
if you weren't
found not guilty.
984
00:41:20,918 --> 00:41:24,443
That's wonderful news, Dr. Bull.
985
00:41:24,487 --> 00:41:27,490
It's an incredible relief.
Thank you.
986
00:41:29,056 --> 00:41:31,015
I...
[soft chuckle]
987
00:41:31,058 --> 00:41:34,497
I can't wait to go home
and tell Peter.

00:41:59,347 --> 00:42:02,699
Hmm.I wonder wherever
she got that idea.

Who'd have thunk it?
1000
00:42:04,831 --> 00:42:07,399
I like what she says
about owning your own destiny,
1001
00:42:07,442 --> 00:42:09,140
not letting it own you.
1002
00:42:09,183 --> 00:42:10,402
She said that?
1003
00:42:10,445 --> 00:42:12,056
Mm.
It's right there.
1004
00:42:12,099 --> 00:42:14,449
Oh.
You're right.
1005
00:42:14,493 --> 00:42:16,234
That is brilliant.

00:42:16,277 --> 00:42:18,105
Wish I could
come up with stuff like that.

don't make me listen to this.
