All language subtitles for Law & Order s01e09 Indifference.eng

Narrator:. In the criminal justice
system, the people are represented

by two separate yet
equally important groups-

the police
who investigate crime

and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

wake up,
sleepyheads.

Vamos, ninos.

Line up for your cookies
and O. J.

Here you go.
Oh, boy.

Dierdre?
wake up, sweetie.

Didi?

Come on, Didi.
Naptime's over.

Dierdre,
is something wrong?

I'm sorry,
Ms. Perez.

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry.

I told them this would
happen. I told them.

Jesus, Mary,
and Joseph.

How is she? Vitals are there
but they're flattening out.

Excuse me,
let's go. Easy.

I knew this was
going to happen.

You her teacher?

well, what did happen, Ms...?

Perez.

An accident.
That's what happened.

An accident? Then why
did you call the police?

what's going on?

Ms. Perez...

kindly take control
of your classroom.

Are you
the principal?

Dr. Babcock.
May I see some identification?

was the girl injured in the
school, Dr. Babcock? Absolutely not.

She was assaulted by her-
Miss Perez.

She can be
rather trigger-happy.

Max: Have the
parents been notified?

I called them,
but there was no one home.

They both work
I believe.

I'll need the names
and address.

Of course.
In my office.

what the hell's
going on here?

I told Babcock
about Didi.

And he shined you on?

She's dying, isn't she?

Ah, an upscale crib.

They both work.

I hope the elevator works.

Ripperton, Casals,

Miyamoto, Schwartz.

Just your "huddled masses
yearning to breathe free. "

Yeah, at three grand a month.
Lowenstein, 1-B.

Thank God it's on
the ground floor.

Mrs. Lowenstein?

we need to speak to Carla
Lowenstein. It's an emergency.

what kind?

what kind?
Medical.

Dr. Babcock
tried to phone you.

Yeah, well,
I need my rest.

Are you-
are you Didi's mother?

Yeah, what's the matter?

we want to know
if there was anything wrong

with Dierdre this morning.

This morning?

Yes.
Before school?

I'm sorry,
I don't knowwhat you mean.

Perhaps we could
come in and talk?

No, I really would rather
you didn't.

Logan: All right,
hold it. Time out.

Lady, listen to us.

Your daughter may be
losing consciousness.

what are you,
brain dead yourself?

Oh, well I fell. we're
not talking about you.

we're talking about your daughter-
Dierdre. Didi.

Maybe I was holding it when I fell.
I don't remember.

Where's your husband, Mrs.
Lowenstein? Out of town.

why don't you
come with us?

I'm sure Dierdre would want her
mother to be with her right now.

I can't.

Ezra's not well.
I have to watch it.

Mrs. Lowenstein.

At this stage, it looks like
an acute insult to the brain stem.

The CAT scan
will tell us more.

Doctor, when you say acute
- I mean traumatic.

Let me ask you-

could it have been
caused by a fall?

Yeah, a fall from
a third story window, maybe.

We need a volunteer
with a wheelchair to Admitting.

Man:
Hey, I'm just their neighbor, I-

You never noticed?

How about an occasional glance from
your box seat at the rear window.

Give me a break.

Do I look like
a peeper to you, huh?

Uh-huh.

Okay, Dick Tracy. How do I see
through the drawn shades, huh?

You look enough to know that they're
drawn. You must see something.

Now, let me reiterate,
gentlemen.

Ms. Perez is...
prone to excitability.

It's a cultural thing.

Instead of running off half-cocked
to call the police

she should have followed
the school district guidelines.

which are?

which are to report her
suspicions to the school nurse.

If the nurse finds evidence
of abuse, she comes to me.

If I find the situation
warrants it,

I'll notify the Department
of Juvenile Services.

By which time,
the kid's in a coma.

So some guidelines.

why don't you stick
to police work, Detective?

why don't you stop
trying to cover your ass, Mr. Babcock?

Mike, Mike, take it easy.

He's never recovered
from the nuns-

a cultural thing.

Now, Doc, let me tell you
about our guidelines,

okay?

when someone, anyone-

even a high-strung
Puerto Rican lady, comprende?

- thinks a child
is being beaten,

that person is supposed to report it
to the authorities.

And if the authorities
don't act,

they leave themselves open
to all sorts of repercussions.

Am I making sense to you?

Uh...

Did Ms. Perez ever tell you

that Didi Lowenstein
might be an abused child?

Yes. She did.
When?

Several times.
Beginning in September.

Did you do anything
about it?

Of course.
I notified the juvenile services.

Oh, then why
this hush-hush routine?

Because these days,
there's always danger of a witch-hunt.

You could destroy
the reputation of the parents.

we have to be very circumspect
about these accusations.

Sure.
I understand.

Luckily, we don't.
Let's go, Mike.

There it is.

Dr. Babcock initiated
the report.

And we received it
on September 22nd.

Not much of a report.
what did you do with it?

we filed it.
As required by law.

You didn't follow it up?

Not yet.

we fully intend to.
It's an active file, as required-

Logan: I know!
As required by law!

Sounds like,
"I was just following orders. "

How many other kids on this
active file, Ms. Dobrinski?

This is just the city,
Detective Logan.

Last I heard,
there was something like

100,000 cases a year
in the state of New York.

we kind of have
our hands full.

Sorry.

I gotta go.

where the hell
have you been?

Don't take it
out on me, Max.

Domestic Violence Unit?

They dropped by last month. No
one around but her and the kids.

She had a good
head start on a shiner.

Swinging door?
Mugger.

Said she got it
in front of her building.

And her husband was
out of town again.

what is this guy,
a beer salesman?

He's a shrink.

A shrink?

Let's go see
if the doctor's in yet.

Logan: Just hold your
psycho-babble to a minimum, lady.

I got a question
I want to ask.

Are you in charge
of this ape?

My cross to bear.

we're trying to get a business
address for Dr. Lowenstein.

You know, Jacob Lowenstein.
He's one of your people.

was.

Used to be.
what happened?

There was-
there were some problems.

Of what nature,
Ms. Rawlings?

I'm not at liberty
to discuss this.

Fine. For nowwe just
have to find him.

His child is sick.
Didi?

He...

I understand that he sometimes
does some consulting work

out of
the Graybar Building.

Dr. Lowenstein?

End of the hall.

Good,
very good.

Doctor Lowenstein?

we're in the middle
of a session here!

Yeah...

I can see that.

who are you?
what do you want here?

It's about Didi.

She's sick.

we thought you'd
like to know.

You can't hold
this guy forever.

You're gonna have to
charge him with something.

That bottle of cocaine
we found,

he's going spastic trying
to tap dance around that one.

what are you talking about?
what's going on?

You know the law.
It's an invalid search.

You've got no warrant.
You've got no probable cause.

You've got nothing here!

Lowenstein: I don't knowwhat
you're talking about.

That's it.
No! No! No!

And you don't have a right to-
you have no right-

Max:
Is something the matter, Doc?

He's trying
to sandbag me!

He's trying to railroad me
into something

that I don't know
anything about.

You're trying to tell me you were totally
unaware of your daughter's condition?

That's right.
Completely. why is that?

why is that?

I was... a little out of it.

we thought
it was out of town.

what, did Carla
tell you that?

Look, I have to tell her
something.

She's unbelievably jealous.

If I'm working late
at the office

she assumes that I'm getting
carpet-burned with the cleaning lady,

my secretary, anybody.

Doesn't matter.

Aren't you?
Aren't I what?

Please, that was therapy.

For her or for you?

For her!

In Reichian therapy,

the patient has to-
Really...

get to know
the therapist, hmm?

How about those
legs of hers, huh?

who was it?

James M. Cain-

"She looked so good,
I wanted to hit her with a hammer. "

Hey, it was only
a figure of speech.

Is that what happened
to Didi?

what are you
talking about?

what?
You think I hit Didi?

I'm dealing
with an irrational person.

I'm trying to keep
everything together.

How. By giving her
a slap once in a while

to keep her in line?
Max.

Oh, no,
my son is with her!

My son is with her.
we'll take care of it.

I was there at lunchtime. She never
even mentioned that Didi was hurt.

I have to get out
of here. Hey, hey!

wait a minute!

She's gonna do
a number on him!

I'm afraid of what
she's gonna do!

Now can we
hold the guy?

Maybe you... better bring in
Mrs. Lowenstein too, huh?

Mrs. Lowenstein:
Stop doing that with your eyes.

Keep doing that
with your eyes-

they'll stay stuck like that
for the rest of your life!

Didn't I warn you?!

You hear me?!
You're gonna learn, mister.

You are going to learn
if it's the last thing I do!

Come here!
Come on!

Logan:
Open this door! Open now!

I'm gonna teach you a lesson
you'll never forget!

Come on, you have to learn!

You have to learn!

Mommy! what are you
doing? That's not yours!

That's not his!

God Almighty!

He's gotta learn! I
know. I know. I know.

Max: She seems to be improving.

Ballismus.

It's an involuntary reaction.

It's a sign of deep
cerebral damage.

Dierdre didn't just
hit her head, Carla.

Somebody must have
done something to her.

where did you say
Jacob was?

In custody. Don't
worry, he can't hurt you.

Is he all right?

I mean, nobody can-
you know...

get to him, can they?

why would anyone
want to get to him?

He's a very attractive man.

Did he ask for me?

I really need to see him.

Max:
That's up to him.

Now, Carla,
try to remember,

did you ever see Jacob strike
either of your children?

He's a very loving father.

He's beaten you.

He loves me.

we're very much in love.

Do you know that Ezra is with juvenile
authorities under protective custody?

How could I be expected
to know anything?

How are you doing?

I could use some more stuff,
you know.

In a little while.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to
ask you to come back another time.

No problem.

You think
she beat the kid up?

I don't know.

I know she's nuts.

The way she lay there...

primping herself-
it just made me want to puke.

She has been slapped around
pretty good.

I'm not so sure
she's to blame.

There are some women
who provoke it.

Come on, it's true.

You think she cares diddly
about those kids or anything?

Huh? Everything's
a mirror to her.

She holds a dying kid up to it-

and all she can see is herself
and how it affects her.

Now, you give her sympathy,
she's gonna want to fight.

You give her a fight,
she's gonna want a kiss.

Give her a kiss, and I swear to God
she'll bite your tongue out!

You, uh...

you saw this
on "Oprah" or what?

My mother.

Yeah.

She always said she was
cut out for something greater

than being the wife of a cop
from the Lower East Side.

God, she was...

she was a bottomless pit.

It was always,
"Give me your undivided attention!"

But when the old man couldn't
take it anymore and gave her a whack,

then she'd turn around
and whack me.

She always got this look
in her eye, you know.

And then I saw it coming.

Now this witch in here-

she's got that same look.

we have blood
on the floor, yes.

It matches the blood
on Dierdre's head, yes.

And, yes, we haven't
proven anything here!

How about we try
to obtain a confession?

we've got an ME who says there's
no way it was an accident.

You want me to go
beat it out of her, Mike?

I'm sure he means why
don't we go work Lowenstein?

And that's a good idea.

I released him. what? what?

He was screaming
false imprisonment on the coke bust.

No probable cause-
Thanks for telling us.

Cragen. Yes- Max!

what?
It's for you.

Yeah?

Yes, Rudy.

what, did you get
a new pair of binoculars?

Look, sometimes-
occasionally...

the shades are up.

Every once in a while

I just happen to look out.

And do you ever
happen to see anything?

Two nights ago,

Mommy Dearest was dancing
around like a whirling dervish.

where was
the little girl?

She was shaking her
like she was a rag doll.

And then the husband
came home.

what time was that?

I don't know. Late.

00, maybe later.

I wanted to tell you,
but I was afraid-

what happened when
Dr. Lowenstein came in?

He belted her.
The girl?

No, the wife.

And then she slapped the kid.

I told you.
Didn't I tell you?

Rudy: I can't believe
she's not locked up.

Max: She's under
observation in Bellevue.

The hell she is.

I just saw her getting out of a cab
less than an hour ago.

Ain't bureaucracy great?

And she had
the little boy with her.

where's the boy?

Logan: Hey, pal.
Carla...

Come on out, pal.
I'm taking you in.

Do you understand?

We're gonna go for a walk. I'm
charging you with assault on Didi.

Max!

Did he do this to you?

Carla!

You stupid cow!

Carla: No!
You're under arrest!

Cuffs!

Carla:
Daddy, Pookie's scared.

Pookie doesn't want
to go to jail.

You see! You see
what I gotta put up with?!

Come on. we're gonna
go for a walk.

You have the right
to remain silent.

You have the right
to an attorney.

And anything you do say may be
used against you in a court of law.

$500,000 is unreal,
Your Honor.

Judge:
I can make it higher.

Dr. Lowenstein
has made his bail

because he controls
all the family funds.

This woman is indigent.

In this instance,
half a million dollars bail

is not only excessive,
it's discriminatory.

Oh? why's that?

Look at this woman.

She can hardly follow
the proceedings,

she's been so badly beaten.

My heart bleeds.
what's your point?

She needs
medical attention,

not jail time.

There's an infirmary
at the women's prison, Your Honor.

Mrs. Lowenstein's bond
remains as set.

Officer, handle her
with kid gloves-

please.

As soon as you can, I'll...

need the details.

It's just that I find it
hard to believe.

Robinette: Trust me. I don't go around
delivering news like this as a gag.

what about my baby?
Is he all right?

He's okay.

He's in a foster home
until this thing gets resolved.

Oh, Ezra.

Yes, of course.
what baby were you referring to?

Your husband?

Is that who you're thinking
about at a time like this?

So it's resolved.

what do you mean?
Didi's gone. It's over.

Resolved.

I'd like to get some rest.

Carla, this is very serious.

I know that!

I'm accused of murdering
my own daughter,

isn't that it?

Yes. Yes, you are.

we have a witness who saw you roughing
Dierdre up that night.

Only you and your husband
know which of you hit her.

Maybe you didn't hit her.

Maybe your husband-
Nobody hit Didi.

Okay. Pushed her down.

Maybe she wouldn't stop crying
so he picker her up and he-

He picked her up...

And then he threw her?

Then he laid hands on it.

what do you mean?
To fix it.

To make it better.

Jacob says

that healing is a matter

of adjusting your mind
to God's will.

what a pleasant surprise.

On Didi Lowenstein, did you
find evidence of sexual abuse?

No.

Did you look?

No.

why not?
'Cause nobody told me to.

Somebody just did!

Judge:
Your point, Ms. Green?

Your Honor, Carla Lowenstein
was battered almost to death

by Mr. Redding's client.

To try them together
would be a terrible injustice.

Since we're not in open court,
could we dispense

with the feminist rhetoric
and talk bottom line?

I mean, since I do agree
with you on one point.

Dr. Lowenstein
is innocent of murder

since he did not
strike Dierdre.

Therefore I would like
a severance.

Mr. Stone?

There has been a total disregard
for the life of an innocent child-

of two innocent children.

Now I'd like to ensure
that history doesn't repeat itself

in the Lowenstein household.

One of those two people
struck a six-year-old child

with enough force to stop
her brain from functioning.

Neither one has been
forthcoming.

And both of them know
which one did it.

I think the truth
will only come out

is if one turns on the other.

In the case of People
versus Jacob Lowenstein,

indictment number 6695,
the charges brought are

murder in the second degree;
assault in the first degree;

endangering the welfare
of a minor.

In the case of People
versus Carla Lowenstein;

indictment number 6695-A,

the charges brought are
murder in the second degree;

assault in the first degree;
endangering the welfare of a minor.

Is the defense ready?

Ready, Your Honor.

Ready, Your Honor.

Are the people ready?
Ready, Your Honor.

Mrs. Lowenstein: Honey?

Honey?

Judge: Mrs. Lowenstein.

Honey...

Judge: Counsel is asked
to advise your client

to exhibit some restraint.

She was always yanking her.
Slapping her.

She was always mad at Didi.

Yanking and slapping
and pulling her hair?

This convinced you that Didi
was being abused, Ms. Perez?

No, no. That's only what I saw
her mother do to her.

Didi was always coming in
with much more serious injuries.

Objection.
Ms. Perez is not a physician.

I'll rephrase.

Ms. Perez, did you
ever j see any signs

of physical abuse
on Didi Lowenstein?

Yes.
Would you describe them?

Large purple bruises
on her legs

and they continued
under her underpants.

A black eye.

Scalded hands.

Stone: Did Didi say how she
had received these injuries?

She said, "Mommy said...

I was naughty
for not finishing my dinner. "

Stone: No further
questions, Your Honor.

No questions,
Your Honor.

You may step down,
Ms. Perez.

Bitch!

She did it, Adam.
That's not my problem.

One way or another,
that woman hit her daughter.

Then what is your problem?
The Perez testimony destroyed her.

If Green is asking for a meeting,
she's willing to make a deal.

The whole thing
is unfathomable.

I feel like I'm floating
face-down

with a mile of black water
between me

and any reasonable
explanation for this.

why does it
have to be reasonable?

There's something else
going on here.

It's not her. It's him.

There's something depraved...

All right, nowwhat
bothers you most about this?

well...

my own rage.

what do your guts tell you?

Put 'em both
in a dungeon,

put 'em on a wheel,

and annihilate 'em.

Can you get to him
through her?

I think so.

All right, then do it.

If you think that
he is the greater-evil,

you go for him where
he's most vulnerable,

and you make the deal.

It's your meeting.

Ms. Perez was a powerful,
if biased witness.

I think the jury thought so.

Let's plea her down.

On what basis? The basis
of her being willing

to accept limited culpability,
with mitigating-

Mrs. Lowenstein: I did it.

I killed Didi.

I hit her.

why?

I can't remember.

She was out of her mind
on cocaine, which he gave to her.

He abused her.
He abused the children.

He encouraged her
to beat the little girl.

Mrs. Lowenstein, why would
he want you to do such a thing?

He wanted me to train her.

I'm sorry?

To train her.

For later.

So we could both serve him.

will you testify to that
on the stand?

Mrs. Lowenstein,
intoxication is no defense

for depraved
indifference homicide.

However, since we feel
that she was coerced-

and that she was
physically threatened

we'll accept a plea
on man one.

And Dr. Lowenstein?

Him?

I'll get him for murder.

Judge:
Ladies and gentlemen,

I inform you now
that Carla Lowenstein

is no longer party
to this trial.

The People versus
Jacob Lowenstein

will therefore proceed
on its own merits.

Medical examiner:.
Yes, I recognize them.

These were taken during the
autopsy of Dierdre Lowenstein.

which you performed?
Yes.

Did you find evidence
of sexual molestation?

Yes, I did.

Have you formed i i an opinion

as to the time
the fatal blow was struck?

Between 10:00
and 11:00 p. m.

From the rate at which
the blood clotted

and also the amount
of coagulation in the wound,

that would be the time.

Thank you, Doctor.
That will be all.

The people call
Carla Lowenstein.

Place your left hand on the
Bible and raise your right hand.

Mrs. Lowenstein, do you swear to
tell the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God? I do.

Mrs. Lowenstein,
tell the court

why you struck your daughter
hard enough to kill her.

well, I was loaded, and...

I really didn't think
I had any strength left.

why would you do
such a thing?

My husband.
He convinced me to.

She's out of her mind!
Dr. Lowenstein.

One more outburst
and I'll have you shackled

for the remainder
of this trial.

Did your husband
tell you why

he wanted you
to strike Didi?

well, he said that
we all needed discipline.

That he wanted...

Didi to grow up to be
just like her mother.

He wanted her to...

to be the perfect wife,
just like me.

I beg your pardon?

He said he wanted her

to be the perfect wife

just like me.

He wanted her to be
a perfect wife.

Did your husband
ever abuse Didi sexually?

Objection, Your Honor. That has nothing
to do with the night in question.

Overruled.
Answer the question.

well... it wasn't abuse.

I mean...

He loved her. He just...

He just had to find
a way to show it.

No further questions,
Your Honor.

Carla.

How often did
you get loaded?

Not very often.

well, say ballpark.

Once a week?

Three times?

Five?
I don't know.

You know,
when I needed it.

when things just
got to be too much.

Aren't you, in fact,
a cocaine addict, Carla?

Objection, Your Honor.
Characterization.

Sustained.

when you were loaded, Carla-

weren't your children
afraid of you?

Stone: Objection, Your Honor.
He's leading the witness.

Overruled.

Carla, the neighbors
all say that...

when you were out together
as a family,

Didi was always walking
hand-in-hand with her father,

never with you.
And they thought that very odd-

that a mother should be
so distant from her daughter.

well, I wanted
to hold her hand, but...

she wouldn't let me.

Redding hurt us.

I didn't hear you knock.

That's 'cause I didn't.
If I'd have knocked, you'd have heard it.

I don't doubt that.

well.

How come you didn't ask
the right question, Stone?

which is?

which is, how does
Dr. Lowenstein support

his cosmopolitan lifestyle?

Analysts make a comfortable
living, don't they?

He's a witch doctor. He
couldn't give it away for free.

Rich parents?

He sells cocaine. He deals!

Upper west Side intellectual

artsy-tartsy, but big time.

why are you telling me this?
Isn't this a conflict of interest?

'Cause ethically
I'm Snow white.

I'm an officer
of the court.

My client's already
had her day in it.

You and I both know
he made her what she is.

That's too simple.

Simple or complicated,
the tip's straight up.

Besides,
I felt it was my duty.

Rawlings is listed
as a defense witness.

we call her, have her
declared a hostile witness

and pump her
on the coke.

Stone:
Ms. Rawlings, this session-

was this a therapy session?

Of course.
Of what sort?

well... it was Reichian.

Yes?

Dr. Lowenstein
is a well-known Reichian.

Does that mean Dr. Lowenstein
supplied you with cocaine?

I don't believe this!
Quiet!

Answer the question, please.

Yes.
Did you inhale it?

we were smoking it,
all right?

He said it would help me
get in touch with-

with what, Ms. Rawlings?
with "the child within"?

Did Dr. Lowenstein
also sell you cocaine?

Objection, Your Honor! Absolutely
irrelevant to the night in question.

Ah, but it does
have relevance.

Dr. Lowenstein's drug use,
his drug dealing

was one of, if not the major
contributing factor

to the nightmare
of the Lowenstein household.

And this depraved indifference led
directly to Didi Lowenstein's death.

Overruled.

Answer
the question.

Yes.

To your personal knowledge,

did Dr. Lowenstein also sell
cocaine to other patients?

Objection,
leading the witness!

Overruled!

Ms. Rawlings,
yes or no, please.

Yes.

Redding:
And finally, Dr. Lowenstein,

did you ever abuse Dierdre?

Didi was the one
ray of sunshine in my life.

I never abused her.

I used to hold her
and try to protect her

from Carla and-

who I now realize is insane.

And even she says
that I never abused her.

It's just a lot of legal semantics

that's being used
to twist the truth.

I loved her...

with all my heart.

Thank you, Doctor.

Dr. Lowenstein,
do you consider yourself

a good husband
and father?

Yes I do.
A good provider?

Yes, yes, absolutely.

Shelter, food, clothing?

Of course.
And cocaine?

Objection, Your Honor.
where is this going?

Mr. Stone? To the heart
of the matter, Your Honor.

The people contend that Dr. Lowenstein
is guilty of murder

because he instigated
the beating and did nothing

to help his fatally injured daughter.

we've heard Mrs. Lowenstein
testify that she was loaded on cocaine.

where did she get it?

Answer the question.

what is the question?

Did you provide
Carla Lowenstein with cocaine?

I've treated many of my patients
with psychomimetic drugs.

But you're not a medical doctor,
are you, Doctor?

You're a psychotherapist.

You have no license
to prescribe medicines,

and have been
doing it for years,

and have been illegally
selling drugs to your patients.

Now this is just legal semantics,

but some people think
it's important!

Do you consider your wife
a patient?

I think of my wife
as a very sick person.

I try to help her. By
beating some sense into her?

Objection.

Sustained.

Mr. Stone?

Haven't you denied help
to your family?

No. Didi was malnourished,
Dr. Lowenstein.

She was seen walking
barefoot in February.

I buy her shoes
and Carla throws them away.

would Carla also throw
the food away?

Didi won't eat without me.
She adores me-

we hold hands.

when?

when we go out
walking together.

I mean,
Didi gives me her hand...

and says,

"Tighter, Daddy.

Daddy, hold me tighter. "

Yes, it was testified earlier
that you and Didi would walk together,

and Mrs. Lowenstein would
walk behind, is that correct?

Yes.

which many experts on child abuse
believe is a clear sign

that the child is trying to curry favor
with the abusing parent!

Objection.

Judge:
Is that a question, Mr. Stone?

No, Your Honor, it's not.

Do you have any more questions
for the defendant, Mr. Stone?

Yes, Your Honor.
Yes, I do.

I most certainly do.

Now, Dr. Lowenstein,
you have previously testified

that when you came home
just before midnight

Carla told you that she had
hit Didi earlier that evening.

Is that correct?

well, I certainly didn't think
it was anything serious.

And you also testified
that when you came home

Didi was laying in the middle
of your living room floor

in her school clothes?

I thought she was sleeping.

Does she usually spend the night
on a parquet floor, without a blanket?

Of course not.

Did you go to Didi and check
to see if she was all right?

I didn't feel
it was necessary.

Even with a bloodstain
under her head?

I didn't see that.

Please, sir,

I direct you to examine
People's Exhibit number 37.

It is a photograph of a bloodstain
on your living room floor!

A bloodstain measuring
27 inches by 38 inches.

A bloodstain the size
of a small rug.

It was dark.

There wasn't...
many lights about, and...

So when you saw
your unconscious daughter on the floor

and that stain
on the same floor

did you pick up a phone
and call 911?

I already
- Did you pick up a phone and call her pediatrician?

You're twisting
everything I say!

Did you even bother
to pick up Didi-

or did you leave her
in a pool of her own blood?

As eloquent as your counsel was
in your behalf,

you are not the victim here,
Mrs. Lowenstein.

The victim was an innocent
six-year-old girl,

who couldn't
defend herself.

On the count of manslaughter
in the first degree,

the court sentences you
to seven-to-ten years

in a women's
correctional facility.

As for you, sir-

From this seat I thought I had
witnessed every degradation,

every monstrosity possible,
but you, Doctor,

are beyond contempt.

You have helped a woman
destroy herself.

You engineered the tragedy
of a little girl's death.

But you took pretty good care
of yourself, didn't you?

Your Honor...

I've lost my family.

Yes, you have.

Jacob Lowenstein,

having been found guilty
of murder in the second degree

by depraved indifference
to human life

this court sentences you

to 25 years to life

in a state penitentiary.

Baby, what's gonna
happen to us now.

Pookie can't live
without her Daddy.

Pookie needs you.
