1. In the criminal justice systemCopy !req
2. the people are representedCopy !req
3. by two separate
yet equally important groups:Copy !req
4. the police,
who investigate crimeCopy !req
5. and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.Copy !req
6. These are their stories.Copy !req
7. Sure, I know her.Copy !req
8. Through there, buzz 4-D.Copy !req
9. Up the stairs,
second apartment in the back.Copy !req
10. Arnie, Mr. K.
could use a refill.Copy !req
11. This is
my third stop here today.Copy !req
12. She's not answering.Copy !req
13. I'd leave them
by the door, but...Copy !req
14. Oh, like leaving
a pound of brisketCopy !req
15. in front of a schnauzer.Copy !req
16. Maybe you can
hold themCopy !req
17. and keep some poor guy's heart
from breaking.Copy !req
18. I'll do you one better.Copy !req
19. Ooh, she give
you her keys?Copy !req
20. I got everybody's.Copy !req
21. I own the building.Copy !req
22. Mind the register, boychick.Copy !req
23. Mind it.
Don't help yourself.Copy !req
24. Putz.Copy !req
25. Goniff.Copy !req
26. She has a cat.Copy !req
27. Hmm, yeah?
Smells like about five cats.Copy !req
28. Oy vey.Copy !req
29. She was in a movie,
uh, where all the
kids are dancing.Copy !req
30. Fame?Copy !req
31. The other one.Copy !req
32. Turns out today's
her birthday.Copy !req
33. The flowers were
from her folks.Copy !req
34. Uh, I read the card.Copy !req
35. Nice people.Copy !req
36. All right, thank you.Copy !req
37. Doc says a single.357 round
to the chest did the trick.Copy !req
38. Went right through her.Copy !req
39. Right in the middle
of lunch, too.Copy !req
40. Looks like
kung pao chicken.Copy !req
41. Yeah. Be sure
to get back to us on that.Copy !req
42. There's a back-alley entranceCopy !req
43. but the door
was locked and alarmedCopy !req
44. and there's no sign
of forced entry.Copy !req
45. When will people learn
that a good friendCopy !req
46. can be your worst enemy?Copy !req
47. She was some kind of actress.Copy !req
48. Yeah, slash musician.Copy !req
49. Small neck,
it's made for a woman's hands.Copy !req
50. I always wanted
to learn guitar.Copy !req
51. It's actually a bass—
a Rickenbacker.Copy !req
52. Is that good?Copy !req
53. It was good enough
for Elvis.Copy !req
54. Oh, now you're in
my neck of the woods.Copy !req
55. I'm actually talking
about Elvis Costello.Copy !req
56. Who's on first?Copy !req
57. Anyway, fits with the rest
of her gear— pricey.Copy !req
58. A neighbor said
this used to be homeCopy !req
59. to one of those
plasma screen TVs.Copy !req
60. Those things go
for, like, six grand.Copy !req
61. For six grandCopy !req
62. it ought to make coffee
and do the dishes.Copy !req
63. Captioning sponsored by
UNIVERSAL NETWORK TELEVISIONCopy !req
64. Lucy Dolan, 32, single,
unemployed actress.Copy !req
65. In that business,
if it said "employed"Copy !req
66. I'd be shocked.Copy !req
67. The M.E. says
that Ms. DolanCopy !req
68. had food in her upper G. I.Copy !req
69. The Chinese take-out receipt
was date- and time-stampedCopy !req
70. so the possible time of deathCopy !req
71. is somewhere
between noon and 1:00Copy !req
72. three days ago.Copy !req
73. So, a girl gets shotCopy !req
74. over a busy restaurant,
and no one hears anything?Copy !req
75. Her apartment
was soundproofed.Copy !req
76. When she wasn't not actingCopy !req
77. she was not earning a buck
as a musician.Copy !req
78. Whatever her callingCopy !req
79. the audio and video equipment
in her apartmentCopy !req
80. was worth at least 50 grand.Copy !req
81. Someone must love this girl.Copy !req
82. MRS.
Today is her birthday.Copy !req
83. You know,
we sent her flowers.Copy !req
84. Lucy was lost.Copy !req
85. The music, acting...Copy !req
86. Stop it.Copy !req
87. She was good.Copy !req
88. Remember,
we saw her in...Copy !req
89. Something
off-off-Broadway.Copy !req
90. How did she actually
earn a living, Mr. Dolan?Copy !req
91. Oh, a job hereCopy !req
92. a job there.Copy !req
93. Lately, she was doing comedy.Copy !req
94. Stand-up.Copy !req
95. I guess it was going well.Copy !req
96. Why do you say it like that?Copy !req
97. Lucy was
no spoiled brat.Copy !req
98. She really worked hard.Copy !req
99. But sometimes we helped her
with, uh... her rent or bills...Copy !req
100. We didn't mind.Copy !req
101. What else is it for?Copy !req
102. She hasn't asked for help
in quite a while.Copy !req
103. So, the stereo equipment...Copy !req
104. You mean, the CD player?Copy !req
105. What's that got to do with this?Copy !req
106. Nothing, really.Copy !req
107. So, where did Lucy do
her stand-up?Copy !req
108. She never wanted us to see her.Copy !req
109. I assumed it wasn't the most
respectable club around.Copy !req
110. Her agent would know.Copy !req
111. Lucy had a killer body.Copy !req
112. If only she was
a couple inches taller.Copy !req
113. Her folks said
her comedy act
was taking off.Copy !req
114. Yeah, and my mom thinks
I'm "Swifty" Lazar.Copy !req
115. Lucy emceed late-late-night
at the Laff RiotCopy !req
116. out on Staten Island.Copy !req
117. We're not exactly talkingCopy !req
118. Leno material.Copy !req
119. Did she have any
close friends?
Boyfriend?Copy !req
120. There are
two types of clientsCopy !req
121. Detective—Copy !req
122. one consults me before they buy
a tube of toothpaste.Copy !req
123. The other, I'm lucky
if I get their cell number.Copy !req
124. And Lucy was the latter?Copy !req
125. I never heard
from the girl.Copy !req
126. Half the time I didn't know
what color her hair was.Copy !req
127. Do you think she
might have been usingCopy !req
128. that "killer body"
to make some moneyCopy !req
129. the old-fashioned way?Copy !req
130. I hope not.Copy !req
131. But it's a tough business.Copy !req
132. What can I say?Copy !req
133. She wouldn't be the first.Copy !req
134. Ask me what the
key to comedy is...Copy !req
135. Timing.Copy !req
136. You can say that again.Copy !req
137. We were talking
about Lucy Dolan.Copy !req
138. She could have used a new watch,
if you get my drift.Copy !req
139. Oh, so you gave her
a regular gigCopy !req
140. out of the kindness
of your heart?Copy !req
141. Guys here at 2:00 in the morning
aren't here to laugh.Copy !req
142. They're here to look.Copy !req
143. And Lucy Dolan was
nice to look at.Copy !req
144. A five in Manhattan
is a ten in Staten Island.Copy !req
145. Anyway, she gave me notice.Copy !req
146. Friday was going to be
her last day.Copy !req
147. We're just wondering why
a barely-employed comicCopy !req
148. would suddenly boltCopy !req
149. from her one
paying gig.Copy !req
150. Are you hinting
at something here?Copy !req
151. We were wondering
if maybe thatCopy !req
152. late-night crowd offered her
a little more than you did.Copy !req
153. That sort of stuffCopy !req
154. does not go on in my club.Copy !req
155. I don't need this.Copy !req
156. Hey, man, look.Copy !req
157. My partner didn't realize
that you were so sensitive.Copy !req
158. Let me ask you something.Copy !req
159. It gets late,
performers run out of gasCopy !req
160. maybe they use
a little something, somethingCopy !req
161. to lift the spirits?Copy !req
162. First, she's a hooker;
now, she's a junkie.Copy !req
163. Let the girl rest in peace,
why don't you?Copy !req
164. He's right, Ed.Copy !req
165. So, Mr. Helprin,
uh, your cabaret license—Copy !req
166. uh, everything in order?Copy !req
167. What do you guys want from me?Copy !req
168. I'm just trying
to run a club here.Copy !req
169. And one of your
acts was murdered!Copy !req
170. A little concern
would be nice.Copy !req
171. Lucy kept a locker in the back.Copy !req
172. Does that help?Copy !req
173. It's a start.Copy !req
174. Head shots, makeup...Copy !req
175. speeding tickets.Copy !req
176. There's got to be
a dozen of them.Copy !req
177. She was in a rush.Copy !req
178. Lucy had a car?Copy !req
179. Green Beemer.Copy !req
180. Is that a crime?Copy !req
181. Unless bad jokes
pay better than I thought.Copy !req
182. Figured it was family money.Copy !req
183. Hey, look at this.Copy !req
184. One of those
photo citations.Copy !req
185. Machines, right?Copy !req
186. They're going to put you guys
out of work.Copy !req
187. Sorry.Copy !req
188. You recognize this location?Copy !req
189. That's the street
light on 54th.Copy !req
190. Right next to our
favorite deli.Copy !req
191. Looking for a moment
frozen in time.Copy !req
192. That's almost poetic.Copy !req
193. Yeah, so what am I doing
in DMV, right?Copy !req
194. Just find us
something snappedCopy !req
195. between 12:00 and 1:00
on that dayCopy !req
196. in that corner
with that camera.Copy !req
197. Okay. 16 pics in that time span.Copy !req
198. Wow. At a hundred bucks
a pop?Copy !req
199. We should get a raise.Copy !req
200. Tell me about it.Copy !req
201. You can blow that up,
right?Copy !req
202. Already in the works.Copy !req
203. That's as goodCopy !req
204. as it's going to get.Copy !req
205. Next.Copy !req
206. Next.Copy !req
207. Next.Copy !req
208. Wait a minute.
What's that?Copy !req
209. Zoom in.Copy !req
210. They got to be tourists.Copy !req
211. Who else would
want a souvenir
of a triple-decker?Copy !req
212. More likely
looking for celebrities.Copy !req
213. That place catersCopy !req
214. to the rich and famous.Copy !req
215. Now all we got to do
is put out an APBCopy !req
216. for two badly dressed
out-of-towners.Copy !req
217. Ford Focus.Copy !req
218. My guess it's a rental.Copy !req
219. And a rental
companyCopy !req
220. would have their local address.Copy !req
221. New York's just
too big for us.Copy !req
222. Too much of a hullabaloo.Copy !req
223. We just got a couple
of questions for youCopy !req
224. Mrs. Platt.Copy !req
225. And we have one for you.Copy !req
226. Why do they call it
the Big Apple?Copy !req
227. We have apple trees
back on the farm...Copy !req
228. In New Vienna.Copy !req
229. Ohio.Copy !req
230. Go figure.Copy !req
231. All we need
is to take a lookCopy !req
232. at the video you shot
in front of the deli.Copy !req
233. Look, I-I hate to be rude,
but we got a plane to catch.Copy !req
234. There's only
one connecting flightCopy !req
235. out of Cincinnati.Copy !req
236. Mr. Platt,
you may have unknowinglyCopy !req
237. filmed evidence of a crime.Copy !req
238. Well, we'd love
to help youCopy !req
239. but we're in a rush.Copy !req
240. Let me tell you
something.Copy !req
241. Besides all
the hullabaloo hereCopy !req
242. we also have something called
"material witness warrants."Copy !req
243. That means we can keep you hereCopy !req
244. until all those apples
grow back.Copy !req
245. We don't have the tape.Copy !req
246. Ed, why don't you call
Judge Finkel.Copy !req
247. No, you don't
understand.Copy !req
248. Wereallydon't have it.Copy !req
249. We sold it.Copy !req
250. To who?Copy !req
251. Television people. WEXR?Copy !req
252. Now youaregoing to miss
that flight.Copy !req
253. They see the murder
on the cover of theDaily NewsCopy !req
254. they figure,
"What the hell,
let's make a buck."Copy !req
255. It is the American way.Copy !req
256. They said
they got a shotCopy !req
257. of three
suspicious-looking characters.Copy !req
258. Well, if WEXR
airs that tapeCopy !req
259. those characters will
know we're on to themCopy !req
260. and hit the road.Copy !req
261. Mm-hmm. There's no wayCopy !req
262. the network is going
to turn over that tape.Copy !req
263. Well, they might
if we show upCopy !req
264. with a restraining order.Copy !req
265. Well, what about
Ma and Pa Kettle?Copy !req
266. Well, the next plane's
in four hours?Copy !req
267. Cut 'em loose
in three and a half.Copy !req
268. Pentagon Papers
case says it all.Copy !req
269. No prior restraint on
publicationorbroadcast.Copy !req
270. You can't issue
a restraining
order, Judge.Copy !req
271. Your Honor,
WEXR paid $10,000Copy !req
272. for the tape.Copy !req
273. Clearly they think
it has probative value.Copy !req
274. If the Platts were in
possession of the tapeCopy !req
275. I'd concede the People's
right to subpoena it,
but they're not.Copy !req
276. My client isCopy !req
277. and my client is a
legitimate source of newsCopy !req
278. in the community.Copy !req
279. In the alternative,
Your HonorCopy !req
280. we're asking that the People
be given a first look.Copy !req
281. Pardon me?Copy !req
282. We want to
view the tapeCopy !req
283. before they go public with it.Copy !req
284. We'll assure counsel
that nobody from our officeCopy !req
285. or the police department
will revealCopy !req
286. the existence of the tape
before it airs.Copy !req
287. Well, Mr. WilletCopy !req
288. is 24 hours going to put
an overly large kinkCopy !req
289. in your colon?Copy !req
290. That's not the point, Judge.Copy !req
291. Course there's
always the chanceCopy !req
292. that I linger
over the People's application.Copy !req
293. My clerk gets lost in Westlaw
for a couple of daysCopy !req
294. and your tape becomes
yesterday's news, literally.Copy !req
295. Thank you, Your Honor.Copy !req
296. People to be provided
with a duplicate tape forthwith.Copy !req
297. MR.
Honey, shove over,
you're blocking the window.Copy !req
298. I got Woody Allen
in the cross-hairs.Copy !req
299. Oh, you hayseed,
that's just some other Jew.Copy !req
300. The silent majority...Copy !req
301. Should stay that way.Copy !req
302. Now that looks like
a plasma TV to me.Copy !req
303. I thought he was looking
for celebrities.Copy !req
304. Oop, Larry, Moe
and Curly makes three.Copy !req
305. Looks like Curly's
supporting a piece.Copy !req
306. There go our killers.Copy !req
307. And we've got less than 23 hours
to find them.Copy !req
308. I'm sorry, guys.Copy !req
309. I can't get the plate
or the registration sticker.Copy !req
310. DMV's got 2,700 beige Explorers
in the five boroughs alone.Copy !req
311. Yeah, assuming your bad guys
are even local.Copy !req
312. Wait. What's there?Copy !req
313. Right in the
front window.Copy !req
314. What? Uh...Copy !req
315. Uh, looks like it could be
a parking permit—Copy !req
316. something like that.Copy !req
317. "FDR."Copy !req
318. Fremont Downs Racetrack.Copy !req
319. I can't make
out the numbersCopy !req
320. but it is a
parking permit.Copy !req
321. I love the ponies.Copy !req
322. Guys would kill for
a pass like that.Copy !req
323. Funny you should put it
that way.Copy !req
324. VIP parking.Copy !req
325. Guy's a box owner.Copy !req
326. That goes along
with a clubhouse pass.Copy !req
327. If I could make out
these numbersCopy !req
328. I could tell you
who it belongs to.Copy !req
329. Can you get us a list
of the box owners?Copy !req
330. All 300 of them?Copy !req
331. Wait, today's
the Five Borough
Handicap, right?Copy !req
332. Attaboy Bob's
running.Copy !req
333. I wouldn't want
to miss that.Copy !req
334. Third race—Copy !req
335. I got to go
with Ed's Pepper.Copy !req
336. You've got
to be kidding.Copy !req
337. She's a gray.Copy !req
338. I always bet
the gray.Copy !req
339. And you wonder
why you always lose.Copy !req
340. She's got the
inside post.Copy !req
341. Yeah, man, and the
first rule of racingCopy !req
342. is "from the rail
to the jail."Copy !req
343. Hey. Beige Explorer.Copy !req
344. They look familiar?Copy !req
345. That's Moe and Larry.Copy !req
346. Two out of three
ain't bad.Copy !req
347. Hey, bro,
who you got in the first?Copy !req
348. Sigfried's Pal, man.Copy !req
349. What the hell?Copy !req
350. You just got scratched,
my friend.Copy !req
351. You know what this is, Matt?Copy !req
352. This is what we call
your yellows.Copy !req
353. Yeah, I'm happy
for you, man.Copy !req
354. It says here
you got a disorderly conductCopy !req
355. from back in '96.Copy !req
356. What was that?Copy !req
357. One too many brews,
and you wateredCopy !req
358. a hydrant?Copy !req
359. What's the difference?Copy !req
360. The difference is you stepped up
into a whole 'nother league now.Copy !req
361. And what league is that?Copy !req
362. Why would I want to kill
somebody, man?Copy !req
363. You're out of your skull.Copy !req
364. That's beside
the point.Copy !req
365. That don't even look like me.Copy !req
366. I checked your
sheet, Harold.Copy !req
367. The worst thing
you ever got caught forCopy !req
368. was turnstile jumping.Copy !req
369. I don't think
you're all that tough.Copy !req
370. Then why
are you wasting my time?Copy !req
371. Your other friend—
what's his name?Copy !req
372. I got a lot
of friends.Copy !req
373. Yeah, you got
a lot of balls, too—Copy !req
374. robbery, murder.Copy !req
375. Add obstructionCopy !req
376. you're looking
at a hat trick, Matt.Copy !req
377. Whoa.
Ain't nobody robbed nobody.Copy !req
378. Ain't nobody murdered nobody.Copy !req
379. So, Lucy Dolan
just gave you that TV.Copy !req
380. That's right.Copy !req
381. She liked us.Copy !req
382. So, why
did you shoot her?Copy !req
383. I didn't. That's why.Copy !req
384. I hope Ed's doing better
than I did.Copy !req
385. Hear no evil.Copy !req
386. The SUV belongs
to this one.Copy !req
387. I guess selling swag
is recession-proof.Copy !req
388. Well, the box seats
at the trackCopy !req
389. belong to his cousin.Copy !req
390. He owns a shoe store
on the Upper East Side.Copy !req
391. He's out of town
for a week.Copy !req
392. The only thing
my cousin ever gave meCopy !req
393. was the mumps.Copy !req
394. Knock, knock, Andrew Maynard.Copy !req
395. Pleasure.Copy !req
396. Now, if you can just,
uh, call off the dogsCopy !req
397. while I talk to my clientCopy !req
398. Mr. Johnson.Copy !req
399. That's Mr. Carton.Copy !req
400. Heads, I win.
As it turns outCopy !req
401. I represent
both of these
fine gentlemen.Copy !req
402. Ed.Copy !req
403. Send inCopy !req
404. the cavalry; I don't care.Copy !req
405. I still didn't kill nobody.Copy !req
406. This is your
lawyer, Einstein.Copy !req
407. You know who that is?Copy !req
408. That's Andrew Maynard.Copy !req
409. Defender of the
undefendableCopy !req
410. the falsely
accused...Copy !req
411. And the biggest narcotics
dealers in the city.Copy !req
412. I doubt these
two knuckleheads
can pay his tab.Copy !req
413. At 800 bucks an hour,
who can?Copy !req
414. I'm guessing
the guy these mopes work for.Copy !req
415. The name of the guy
who pays the legal feesCopy !req
416. isn't privileged.Copy !req
417. My second divorce.Copy !req
418. Yeah, and maybe Maynard
will give us the nameCopy !req
419. and a guilty pleaCopy !req
420. on a silver platter.Copy !req
421. Well, if we hit him
with a subpoenaCopy !req
422. it's going to take 30 days
for some judge to decideCopy !req
423. if we get a name.Copy !req
424. There are other ways.Copy !req
425. Hey, I look like a cop?Copy !req
426. You look fine.Copy !req
427. Have a nice time
at the prom.Copy !req
428. You got your
cell phone?Copy !req
429. Dad, now, don't worry.Copy !req
430. I'll call you
if he gets too frisky.Copy !req
431. Here he comes.Copy !req
432. All right,
seriouslyCopy !req
433. if Maynard comes back,
get your ass out of there.Copy !req
434. If you could tell
me what this in
reference to, Mr...Copy !req
435. I'd rather not
give my name.Copy !req
436. Well, is there a number
at which Mr. MaynardCopy !req
437. can reach you?Copy !req
438. See, that's a problem.Copy !req
439. See, phones are a little bit...
awkward at the moment.Copy !req
440. Well, I really don't knowCopy !req
441. when Mr. Maynard
is returning to the office.Copy !req
442. You can call him, can't you?Copy !req
443. And say what?Copy !req
444. A guy who won't give me his name
wants to see him?Copy !req
445. All right, maybe this will help.Copy !req
446. There's two brothers enjoying
the hospitality of a certainCopy !req
447. city agency.Copy !req
448. There are a lot more than two.Copy !req
449. Yeah,
but Mr. MaynardCopy !req
450. representing these two.Copy !req
451. Matter of fact, he went by
and visited them todayCopy !req
452. at the behest
of one of my colleagues.Copy !req
453. Please have a seat.Copy !req
454. Hi, Mr. Maynard.Copy !req
455. No, no, they didn't call.Copy !req
456. There's a gentleman here
referred by Danny Otum.Copy !req
457. He won't give
it to me.Copy !req
458. Says you
understand?Copy !req
459. Can you be here tomorrow morning
at 8:00 A.M.?Copy !req
460. Not a problem.Copy !req
461. Police! We have a warrant!Copy !req
462. Open up, Mr. Otum.
It's the police!Copy !req
463. Ah, the hell with it.Copy !req
464. Use the super's key.Copy !req
465. NYPD— last time we ask.Copy !req
466. Hey, police business.Copy !req
467. Get back inside.Copy !req
468. What's going on?
Now!Copy !req
469. Danny's got good taste.Copy !req
470. Yeah, he got
Lucy Dolan's TV, too.Copy !req
471. Hey, what are you doing
in my...?Copy !req
472. Police. Don't move!Copy !req
473. I said police!Copy !req
474. It's a cell phone.Copy !req
475. You okay, partner?Copy !req
476. Yeah, I'm great.Copy !req
477. Docket #3395:Copy !req
478. People v. Carton,
Johnson, and Otum.Copy !req
479. Steve Hanft, substituting
for defendant Johnson.Copy !req
480. Yoriko Fujitsa for defendant
Carton, You Honor.Copy !req
481. Welcome to one and all.Copy !req
482. Mr. MaynardCopy !req
483. I assume you're here
in some official capacity.Copy !req
484. Andrew Maynard for
Daniel Otum, sir.Copy !req
485. "Lead on, MacDuff."Copy !req
486. Charges are, one count each,
murder in the first degreeCopy !req
487. robbery in the first degree.Copy !req
488. Pleas, gentlemen?
Not guilty.Copy !req
489. Not guilty.Copy !req
490. Not guilty, Your Honor.Copy !req
491. Who says consistency is the
hobgoblin of little minds?Copy !req
492. People on bail?Copy !req
493. The defendants are seen
on a videotapeCopy !req
494. outside of the victim's buildingCopy !req
495. holding her property
at the time of her murder.Copy !req
496. Judge, the tape
is fuzzy at best.Copy !req
497. Fuzzy or not, the deceased's
property was recoveredCopy !req
498. from defendant
Otum's apartment.Copy !req
499. Nice try, Counselor.Copy !req
500. Judge, if I may...Copy !req
501. No, you may not.Copy !req
502. Mr. Maynard, your clientCopy !req
503. has multiple priors;
he's not going anywhere.Copy !req
504. Uh, remand all three defendants.Copy !req
505. Next.Copy !req
506. Docket #37926...Copy !req
507. Off the record?Copy !req
508. Why not?Copy !req
509. We all have a good idea what
my client does for a living.Copy !req
510. On the record, that's why
we're not considering a deal.Copy !req
511. Sure, one drug dealer
kills another.Copy !req
512. Hold on.Copy !req
513. There's no evidence
that Lucy Dolan sold drugs.Copy !req
514. Her car, her possessionsCopy !req
515. her lack of any other
source of income.Copy !req
516. Well, maybe she had a boyfriend.Copy !req
517. Or, perhaps, Danny Otum
served as wholesalerCopy !req
518. and Ms. Dolan
was one of his retailers.Copy !req
519. Is this a confession
to possession with intent?Copy !req
520. Theory.Copy !req
521. Lucy's marketing skillsCopy !req
522. were falling a little short
of expectation.Copy !req
523. She owed Danny
what was quickly becomingCopy !req
524. a lot of money.Copy !req
525. So, he killed her?Copy !req
526. No.Copy !req
527. Lucy Dolan was shotCopy !req
528. with a.357, Mr. Maynard.Copy !req
529. Your client did three years
for assault with a.357.Copy !req
530. And do you know
why you can't findCopy !req
531. a murder weapon?Copy !req
532. Because Danny never had it.Copy !req
533. This was strictly business.Copy !req
534. And like any other transactionCopy !req
535. after some negotiationCopy !req
536. she offered collateral
to secure her loan.Copy !req
537. The plasma screen TV?Copy !req
538. There you go.Copy !req
539. And the murder?Copy !req
540. It happened after my client
and his colleaguesCopy !req
541. went their merry way.Copy !req
542. You should write fiction,
Mr. Maynard.Copy !req
543. First off, your client has
multiple violent felonies.Copy !req
544. Second, he should thankCopy !req
545. his lucky stars he didn't
get shot resisting arrest.Copy !req
546. In which case, I would be
initiating a wrongful death suitCopy !req
547. instead of merely a Federal
civil rights action.Copy !req
548. Detective Green thought Mr. Otum
was reaching for a weapon.Copy !req
549. He was reachingCopy !req
550. for his cell to dial 911.Copy !req
551. He thought he was being robbed.Copy !req
552. Oh, come on.Copy !req
553. A jury can be a strange
and empathetic beastCopy !req
554. Ms. Southerlyn.Copy !req
555. Now, taking all
of the relevant factsCopy !req
556. and putting them
into perspectiveCopy !req
557. I have the distinct feelingCopy !req
558. that we could make
this Federal case go away...Copy !req
559. I'm busy, Mr. Maynard.Copy !req
560. A damn cell phone.Copy !req
561. Hey, Otum is
a known dealer.Copy !req
562. I got a history, man.Copy !req
563. You two, in my office.Copy !req
564. Shut the door.Copy !req
565. You're on desk.Copy !req
566. Hey, a week or so topsCopy !req
567. it'll all be straightened out.Copy !req
568. Excuse me,
both of you.Copy !req
569. You were the only witness.Copy !req
570. Otum names the city,
the DepartmentCopy !req
571. and you individually
in his suit.Copy !req
572. He claims you profiled him.Copy !req
573. Right, he's a drug dealer
and a murderer.Copy !req
574. And he's black.Copy !req
575. Have you looked at me recently?Copy !req
576. He also claimsCopy !req
577. that you never identified
yourselves as cops.Copy !req
578. Come on.
I said, "Police."Copy !req
579. And the icing on the cake
is the pounding he tookCopy !req
580. with snapshots to prove it.Copy !req
581. Tell me, did I wake upCopy !req
582. on the wrong side of the
looking glass this morning?Copy !req
583. A black cop under
investigation by
a white US AttorneyCopy !req
584. for beating
a black suspect.Copy !req
585. The times, they
are a-changing.Copy !req
586. Yup.Copy !req
587. And this Detective GreenCopy !req
588. certainly adds
another layer to the cake.Copy !req
589. True or false:
the sole purpose of a governmentCopy !req
590. and all its agents
is to protect the citizenry?Copy !req
591. Sole purpose, no.Copy !req
592. Okay, the primary
purpose then.Copy !req
593. Once we establish
that Detective Green's actionsCopy !req
594. were not racially motivatedCopy !req
595. then we must
conclude that theyCopy !req
596. were just another desperate
example of our governmentCopy !req
597. failing
in its most basic function.Copy !req
598. Or they wereCopy !req
599. an example of a man
resorting to a primal instinct—Copy !req
600. self-preservation.Copy !req
601. Detective Green thought Otum
was reaching for a gun.Copy !req
602. It was a hell of an argument,
though, don't you think?Copy !req
603. Actually, MaynardCopy !req
604. is reaching back
to Trial Tricks 101.Copy !req
605. He's using the Federal civil
rights action as leverageCopy !req
606. to try to make us back off
the criminal case.Copy !req
607. Which you're
not going to do.Copy !req
608. Murder One?Copy !req
609. I don't think so.Copy !req
610. Well, as it turns outCopy !req
611. I took a more advanced version
of that very same class.Copy !req
612. We'll see who has the leverage
when the day is done.Copy !req
613. The arrests of Carton, Johnson
and Otum, repeat offenders allCopy !req
614. followed an investigation
by Detectives Briscoe and GreenCopy !req
615. whose lieutenant, Anita Van
Buren, supervised the inquiry.Copy !req
616. The people of this city
owe these officersCopy !req
617. a debt of gratitude.Copy !req
618. It is the conclusion
of this officeCopy !req
619. based on the particular
circumstances of this crimeCopy !req
620. and the overwhelming evidence
of guilt, that the death penaltyCopy !req
621. although very rarely sought
in this county, is appropriate.Copy !req
622. Lucy Dolan's murder was brutal,
intentional and pointless.Copy !req
623. Our hearts go out
to her loved ones.Copy !req
624. Now, I'll take your questions.Copy !req
625. Mr. Branch, I was just
coming to see you.Copy !req
626. Go on ahead.Copy !req
627. What can I do for you,
Lieutenant?Copy !req
628. I saw your news conference.Copy !req
629. Yes, I thought
it went well.Copy !req
630. Well, I understand
all about PR, sirCopy !req
631. but I think you
may have goneCopy !req
632. just a bit overboard
on this one.Copy !req
633. To quote
a great legal scholarCopy !req
634. "So what?"Copy !req
635. The two nice ones
carried the TVCopy !req
636. while the surly one
does the shooting.Copy !req
637. Any way you deal
the cards, LieutenantCopy !req
638. it's your garden variety
felony murderCopy !req
639. punishable by death
in this state.Copy !req
640. Besides, I'd think you'd favor
this course of action.Copy !req
641. You know what my problem is?Copy !req
642. If we fry Carton and Johnson,
the next time my officersCopy !req
643. find themselves
in a similar situationCopy !req
644. the bad guys may just shoot
to kill— what the hell?Copy !req
645. They'd be facingCopy !req
646. the death penalty anyway.Copy !req
647. You want to talk
"next time"?Copy !req
648. What about the next time
three punks hit a 7-Eleven?Copy !req
649. You want the two without the gun
to get a passCopy !req
650. when their buddy blows
the cashier's face off?Copy !req
651. It's not the message I want to
send for all the "next times."Copy !req
652. And, in case you missed
the obviousCopy !req
653. I'm trying to save the career
of one of your officers.Copy !req
654. Maybe hisCopy !req
655. isn't the only career
being saved.Copy !req
656. The Federal case
could sway the juryCopy !req
657. in your murder trialCopy !req
658. and we both know a DA can't
get reelected in this cityCopy !req
659. if he can't convict three men
caught on tapeCopy !req
660. leaving the scene with the
victim's property in their arms.Copy !req
661. You know, Lieutenant,
in the endCopy !req
662. a man's motives are secondary
to his accomplishments.Copy !req
663. That same great legal scholar?Copy !req
664. That's right— me.Copy !req
665. I take it you don't careCopy !req
666. for the new DA's tactics
on this one.Copy !req
667. Do you?Copy !req
668. I think he's just flexing.Copy !req
669. If it works, we'll be ableCopy !req
670. to put Otum and his
crew behind barsCopy !req
671. and keep Green
on the street.Copy !req
672. Anyway, the Commissioner,
with no ifs, ands or butsCopy !req
673. said no one from my precinct
could look into Green's case.Copy !req
674. That's the drill, isn't it?Copy !req
675. See, the thing is,
Briscoe saidCopy !req
676. Otum had a neighbor across
the hall who was kind of nosyCopy !req
677. when they first
showed up.Copy !req
678. And no one's
talked to him?Copy !req
679. No one got the right answers.Copy !req
680. Why play games, Mr. Franks?Copy !req
681. We both know you heard
them announce themselvesCopy !req
682. as police officers
when they first arrived.Copy !req
683. Maybe I did and maybe I didn't.Copy !req
684. Who can say for sure?Copy !req
685. If you're afraid of Otum,
we'll take care of you.Copy !req
686. You think I don't
read the papers?Copy !req
687. I know what happens to people
who testify against gangsters.Copy !req
688. Somehow their houses burn down,
their kids disappear.Copy !req
689. What the papers leave outCopy !req
690. is that I can be equally
dangerous, Mr. Franks.Copy !req
691. I'll take my chances.Copy !req
692. I used to date a CPA.Copy !req
693. How nice for you.Copy !req
694. Now, if you don't mind?Copy !req
695. Sure, why talk now
when we can finishCopy !req
696. this discussion
in front of a grand jury?Copy !req
697. I know enough lawCopy !req
698. to know that you can't
force me to testify.Copy !req
699. That's right, but I can
cite you for contempt.Copy !req
700. And a contempt conviction
in New York is a felony.Copy !req
701. Did you know that?Copy !req
702. And with a felony
on your recordCopy !req
703. I'm afraid you'll lose
that accounting licenseCopy !req
704. this nice office...Copy !req
705. Mr. Franks gave
one hell of a deposition.Copy !req
706. Turns out, he heard Briscoe
yell, "Police. Don't move."Copy !req
707. Did the US Attorney
find him credible?Copy !req
708. He found, and I quote,
"There were no groundsCopy !req
709. for charges
against the arresting officers."Copy !req
710. Which destroys
Maynard's leverage.Copy !req
711. I'll wait till morning
to call him.Copy !req
712. Let him try to sleep thinking
his client is facingCopy !req
713. a lethal injection.Copy !req
714. The sun coming up
changes things? How?Copy !req
715. I thought we threatened
capital punishmentCopy !req
716. just to get
some leverage of our own.Copy !req
717. We did.Copy !req
718. Although, thanks
to Serena, we
didn't need it.Copy !req
719. You should know, ArthurCopy !req
720. I don't like being sandbagged
by anyone.Copy !req
721. Well, that's good.Copy !req
722. For a minute,
I thought I was goingCopy !req
723. to get an earful of morality.Copy !req
724. Two of our defendantsCopy !req
725. are being accused
of their first felony.Copy !req
726. For all we know,
they didn't even realizeCopy !req
727. Otum had a weapon.Copy !req
728. Your point being?Copy !req
729. Putting somebody to death
for stealing a televisionCopy !req
730. is reprehensible.Copy !req
731. Ah.Copy !req
732. Vox clamatis
from the moral left.Copy !req
733. With all due respect,
I'm talkingCopy !req
734. about constitutionality,
or, rather, the lack of it.Copy !req
735. A death sentence
for Carton or JohnsonCopy !req
736. would be cruel
and unusual punishment.Copy !req
737. We threaten
the death penaltyCopy !req
738. every day to get one defendant
to roll over on another.Copy !req
739. Now, those threats
become meaninglessCopy !req
740. if we never actually use it.Copy !req
741. Maybe the Governor of Illinois
was rightCopy !req
742. imposing a moratorium
on capital punishment.Copy !req
743. People do make mistakes.Copy !req
744. Only, it seems to me,
we've got enough evidenceCopy !req
745. for two cases on this one.Copy !req
746. The only thing we don't have
is a busload of nunsCopy !req
747. as eyewitnesses.Copy !req
748. I mean, am I wrong?Copy !req
749. Do we knowCopy !req
750. these punks are guilty
or don't we?Copy !req
751. They're guiltyCopy !req
752. but, Arthur, are you sureCopy !req
753. this is the best case
for you to prove a point?Copy !req
754. You don't like to be sandbagged.Copy !req
755. I don't like the race card
thrown in my face.Copy !req
756. Hey.
Well, you've
got to admitCopy !req
757. you're not the typical
New York City District Attorney.Copy !req
758. 20 years here
and still the carpetbagger.Copy !req
759. My point isCopy !req
760. this decision may
not sit that wellCopy !req
761. with a large portion
of the state.Copy !req
762. You worry
about the lawCopy !req
763. I'll worry about the politics.Copy !req
764. Is there anything else?Copy !req
765. It's political suicide,
but it is his choice.Copy !req
766. So we just goCopy !req
767. on our trigger-happy way
until the next election?Copy !req
768. The man is a District Attorney,
not Attila the Hun.Copy !req
769. Every case will be judged
on its own merits.Copy !req
770. And this case?Copy !req
771. How oftenCopy !req
772. do we have the defendants
on video, Serena?Copy !req
773. Or find a crime scene
covered in fingerprints?Copy !req
774. Or the stolen goods
in the defendant's apartment?Copy !req
775. How often is someone killed
for a television set?Copy !req
776. To me that pretty much
defines "heinous."Copy !req
777. And if Maynard was rightCopy !req
778. and Lucy Dolan was really
a drug addict?Copy !req
779. Maynard can't put any
of our hypothetical clients
on the standCopy !req
780. and there's no way he lets
any of his defendants testify.Copy !req
781. All in all, I don't think
we have to worry about that.Copy !req
782. Ms. Dolan's apartmentCopy !req
783. was dusted for fingerprints
by the Crime Scene Unit.Copy !req
784. The result?Copy !req
785. Uh, Mr. Carton and Mr. Johnson's
prints were foundCopy !req
786. on the coffee table hereCopy !req
787. Mr. Otum's palm print
on a surfaceCopy !req
788. behind the
entertainment center.Copy !req
789. Could you demonstrateCopy !req
790. how a palm print could come
to be in that location?Copy !req
791. Uh, well, if you were
removing a unit, uh, say here...Copy !req
792. That would beCopy !req
793. the plasma TV already marked
as People's Three?Copy !req
794. That's
correct, yeah.Copy !req
795. Uh, anywayCopy !req
796. uh, from the center, uh,
you have to lean hereCopy !req
797. uh, to detach the cables,
and so on.Copy !req
798. Yes.Copy !req
799. Thank you.Copy !req
800. All of thisCopy !req
801. to prove that the defendants
were actuallyCopy !req
802. in Ms. Dolan's apartment?Copy !req
803. Hell, we would have
stipulated to that fact.Copy !req
804. Mr. Beck, does any of this proveCopy !req
805. that the television set
was stolen?Copy !req
806. It was taken off the wall.Copy !req
807. That wasn't my question.Copy !req
808. No.Copy !req
809. That's all.Copy !req
810. Anything else?Copy !req
811. Nothing, Judge.Copy !req
812. Nothing on behalf
of Mr. Carton, Your Honor.Copy !req
813. My daughterCopy !req
814. never game me a moment's griefCopy !req
815. and she never harmed anyone
in her life.Copy !req
816. She was a kind, decent person.Copy !req
817. She didn't deserve
to die like that.Copy !req
818. Nobody does.Copy !req
819. Objection.Copy !req
820. Sustained.Copy !req
821. This is a courtroom, Mr. McCoyCopy !req
822. not an op-ed column.Copy !req
823. Mrs. Dolan, how often
did you speak with Lucy?Copy !req
824. Oh, several times a week.Copy !req
825. Did she ever mentionCopy !req
826. a friend named Danny Otum?Copy !req
827. No.Copy !req
828. Matt Carton?Copy !req
829. No.Copy !req
830. Harry Johnson?
No.Copy !req
831. So, as far as you know,
these men I just mentionedCopy !req
832. had no legitimate reason
to be in her apartment?Copy !req
833. None that I know of.Copy !req
834. Thank you.Copy !req
835. Your daughter was hardworking.Copy !req
836. She tried, sir.Copy !req
837. Very hard, yes.Copy !req
838. But honestly, ma'amCopy !req
839. she wasn't successful
as an actressCopy !req
840. or singer or comedian.Copy !req
841. It takes time.Copy !req
842. Yes, it does.Copy !req
843. But did you know
that at the timeCopy !req
844. of your daughter's deathCopy !req
845. she owned approximately
$50,000 worthCopy !req
846. of stereo
equipment?Copy !req
847. Yes. The police
told me.Copy !req
848. And did they tell
you that she alsoCopy !req
849. owned a late-model BMW worth
in the neighborhood of $60,000?Copy !req
850. Do you know what it's like...Copy !req
851. to inherit from your daughter?Copy !req
852. I truly have sympathy
for you, Mrs. DolanCopy !req
853. but could you please
answer my question?Copy !req
854. Yes.Copy !req
855. The police told me
about the car.Copy !req
856. In her tax returns filed
for the last three yearsCopy !req
857. she shows no
significant income.Copy !req
858. She had no credit card,
no bank account.Copy !req
859. Do you have any idea
how she bought those items?Copy !req
860. No.Copy !req
861. People... loved her.Copy !req
862. Maybe someone...Copy !req
863. Or maybe she was selling drugs.Copy !req
864. Objection. No foundation.Copy !req
865. Withdrawn.Copy !req
866. Your Honor...Copy !req
867. Jury will disregard.Copy !req
868. Thank you for your honesty,
Mrs. Dolan.Copy !req
869. I appreciate
how difficult this has been.Copy !req
870. Counselors?Copy !req
871. No questions for this witness.Copy !req
872. Uh, not me,
Your Honor.Copy !req
873. SpecificallyCopy !req
874. my field is forensic accounting.Copy !req
875. I determine the worth
of businessesCopy !req
876. usually for purposes
of litigationCopy !req
877. or matrimonial matters.Copy !req
878. At my request,
Mr. VavoulisCopy !req
879. did you evaluate the worth
of Lucy Dolan's enterprise?Copy !req
880. Again, no foundation.Copy !req
881. Actually,
I can helpCopy !req
882. with that.Copy !req
883. Let's hear what you got.Copy !req
884. This chart helps establishCopy !req
885. what we call a PBA—
a pattern of business activity.Copy !req
886. The enormous volume
of phone calls over the pastCopy !req
887. five months is a clear
indication of business activity.Copy !req
888. And the underlying data
was derivedCopy !req
889. from Lucy Dolan's home phone?Copy !req
890. No. It's a
cellular phoneCopy !req
891. but the same
principles apply.Copy !req
892. Go on.Copy !req
893. When this phone activity
is viewedCopy !req
894. in light of Ms. Dolan's
net worthCopy !req
895. as determined by
her tangible assetsCopy !req
896. such as automobilesCopy !req
897. home furnishings,
personal propertyCopy !req
898. I see not justCopy !req
899. a going concern,
but a thriving one.Copy !req
900. And could you determineCopy !req
901. what kind
of businessCopy !req
902. Ms. Dolan was
involved in?Copy !req
903. No, but if
I had to guessCopy !req
904. based on the
voluminous
cell phone useCopy !req
905. and the hours of
the incoming callsCopy !req
906. I'd say it was something
perhaps not legal.Copy !req
907. Drugs?
Perhaps.Copy !req
908. And have you ever analyzed
a narcotics business
before, Mr. Vavoulis?Copy !req
909. Yes, I've been hiredCopy !req
910. by the FBI on several occasionsCopy !req
911. and this fits the profile.Copy !req
912. Could this pattern also apply
to some other home businessCopy !req
913. such as, say,
selling Tupperware?Copy !req
914. Yes.Copy !req
915. Thank you.Copy !req
916. Come on. I'll
buy you a drink.Copy !req
917. Sure, why not start
the celebration early?Copy !req
918. Why not relax
after a long day in court?Copy !req
919. Fine.Copy !req
920. You know,
every ChristmasCopy !req
921. my father used
to drag usCopy !req
922. to St. Bartholomew's
for Midnight Mass.Copy !req
923. It was literally filled
to the brim.Copy !req
924. There's a lot of guilt
that time of year.Copy !req
925. But the thing that
I remember mostCopy !req
926. was the walk homeCopy !req
927. after the service.Copy !req
928. Rain or snow, it didn't matterCopy !req
929. we still walked,
and all the way homeCopy !req
930. the only thing I could think
about was, what's wrong with me?Copy !req
931. Why aren'tllike all
of those peopleCopy !req
932. who actually believe the wordsCopy !req
933. that they're
singing?Copy !req
934. Maybe it was the eggnog
your Uncle Harry slipped you.Copy !req
935. I'm being
serious, Jack.Copy !req
936. My point is, right now
I'm more convinced than everCopy !req
937. that this job would
be a lot easierCopy !req
938. if I was one of those peopleCopy !req
939. from St. Bart's.Copy !req
940. At least thenCopy !req
941. making a decisionCopy !req
942. about taking a man's life
wouldn't be so excruciating.Copy !req
943. Because there'd be a ruleCopy !req
944. that the death penalty
isalwayswrong.Copy !req
945. A lot of people believe that.Copy !req
946. Leaving only us heathensCopy !req
947. to struggle
through the muck and mireCopy !req
948. of a world
that's doused in gray.Copy !req
949. What if we're wrong?Copy !req
950. Do Matt Carton
and Harry Johnson deserve to dieCopy !req
951. just because
we can squeeze what they didCopy !req
952. into some statute?Copy !req
953. Yeah, mistakes.Copy !req
954. I try not to make them.Copy !req
955. But like they say at St. Bart's,
we're all sinnersCopy !req
956. so we all make mistakes.Copy !req
957. That's why they have a judgeCopy !req
958. and a defense attorney.Copy !req
959. It ain't pretty...Copy !req
960. but I can live with it.Copy !req
961. That's a cop-out.Copy !req
962. Three black men caught on tapeCopy !req
963. loading a plasma screen TV
into an SUV.Copy !req
964. They must be killers.Copy !req
965. Three black men
in the victim's apartment.Copy !req
966. They must have been there
to kill her.Copy !req
967. That's the People's case.Copy !req
968. They don't have a murder weapon.Copy !req
969. They say they have a motive,
but do they?Copy !req
970. A room full
of expensive equipmentCopy !req
971. and all that was taken
was a television set.Copy !req
972. The People's case is laughable.Copy !req
973. They want you to ignore the factCopy !req
974. that Lucy Dolan herself may have
been dealing drugs.Copy !req
975. They want you to forget the fact
that no motive and no weaponCopy !req
976. should always leave us
with no conviction.Copy !req
977. The defenseCopy !req
978. admits the defendants were
at the scene of the crime.Copy !req
979. They had to.Copy !req
980. We had their fingerprints
all over Lucy Dolan's walls.Copy !req
981. The defense admits
that the defendants carriedCopy !req
982. Miss Dolan's television
from her apartmentCopy !req
983. at or near the time
of her murder.Copy !req
984. They had to.Copy !req
985. We had them on video.Copy !req
986. They can slander the victim
as much as they likeCopy !req
987. with charts and graphs
and assumptions.Copy !req
988. But where I come fromCopy !req
989. one plus one
does not equal three.Copy !req
990. Thank you
for coming.Copy !req
991. Why wouldn't we?Copy !req
992. The fact
that you asked us hereCopy !req
993. leads me to believe
you're not all that confident.Copy !req
994. Quite the opposite, Mr. Hanft.Copy !req
995. We're very confident.Copy !req
996. We're tryingCopy !req
997. to keep your clients alive.Copy !req
998. The fact isCopy !req
999. Danny Otum's ship
is sinking.Copy !req
1000. Considering the time
and the place in historyCopy !req
1001. if your clients stay on boardCopy !req
1002. they're looking
at a lethal injection.Copy !req
1003. It's not worth rolling the dice.Copy !req
1004. We're just following
our clients' directions.Copy !req
1005. And what law schools
did they go to?Copy !req
1006. The ones that
tell themCopy !req
1007. innocent people
don't get convicted.Copy !req
1008. You actually believe them?Copy !req
1009. No.Copy !req
1010. But it's not my decision
to make.Copy !req
1011. That's right.Copy !req
1012. Mr. Maynard is running the show.Copy !req
1013. We're done.Copy !req
1014. Has the jury reached a verdict?Copy !req
1015. We have,
Your Honor.Copy !req
1016. As to defendant
Harry JohnsonCopy !req
1017. we find him guilty of Murder
in the First Degree.Copy !req
1018. As to defendant
Matthew CartonCopy !req
1019. guilty of Murder
in the First Degree.Copy !req
1020. As to defendantCopy !req
1021. Daniel Otum, guilty of Murder
in the First Degree.Copy !req
1022. So say you all?Copy !req
1023. Yes, Judge.Copy !req
1024. The jury is
temporarily excused.Copy !req
1025. The sentencing phase
of the proceedingsCopy !req
1026. to commence a
week from today.Copy !req
1027. Matthew!Copy !req
1028. Congratulations.Copy !req
1029. You're the one who said
that this case was a slam dunk.Copy !req
1030. Why are you working overtimeCopy !req
1031. on sentencing?Copy !req
1032. What did that forensic
accountant sayCopy !req
1033. about Dolan's incoming
phone activity?Copy !req
1034. That it was an enormous volume.
Why?Copy !req
1035. Common sense says
it should have stayedCopy !req
1036. roughly the same at firstCopy !req
1037. tapering off as word got outCopy !req
1038. that Lucy was no longer
in business.Copy !req
1039. But look at this hereCopy !req
1040. in her phone records.Copy !req
1041. Whoever this is...Copy !req
1042. called once every couple
of days for months.Copy !req
1043. But he never once called
after she was murdered.Copy !req
1044. He knew she was dead.Copy !req
1045. Call Van Buren.Copy !req
1046. It's open, Frankie.Copy !req
1047. Ernest Borges?Copy !req
1048. I don't like surprises.Copy !req
1049. Boy, you're going
to hate this one.Copy !req
1050. Get up.Copy !req
1051. Ernest Borges,
you're under arrestCopy !req
1052. for, among other things,
the murder of Lucy Dolan.Copy !req
1053. You have the right
to remain silent.Copy !req
1054. Anything you say canCopy !req
1055. and will be held against you
in a court of law.Copy !req
1056. Ballistics came back on the gun
from Borges' apartment.Copy !req
1057. It's the murder weapon.Copy !req
1058. His lawyer's already
itching for a sit-down.Copy !req
1059. And we can't find
a connectionCopy !req
1060. between Borges and Otum,
Carton or Johnson.Copy !req
1061. You filed the appropriate papers
for their release?Copy !req
1062. In the works.Copy !req
1063. Maynard was so busy
slandering Lucy DolanCopy !req
1064. he forgot to do
his homework.Copy !req
1065. Truth is, I always thoughtCopy !req
1066. either Carton or Johnson
would roll on Otum.Copy !req
1067. Are you saying that all of this
was part of Trial Tricks 102?Copy !req
1068. That or a big juicy mea culpa.Copy !req
1069. All three of them
should put SerenaCopy !req
1070. on their Christmas card lists.Copy !req
1071. I just wish that there was a wayCopy !req
1072. to prevent all of this
from happening again.Copy !req
1073. There is.Copy !req
1074. Move to Illinois.Copy !req
1075. I think he's pulling
your leg, Serena.Copy !req
1076. You know, this whole affair
makes you think twice.Copy !req
1077. About the death penalty?Copy !req
1078. About where to buy you a steak.Copy !req
1079. Come on. We'll split a cab.Copy !req
1080. No.Copy !req
1081. I'll walk.Copy !req
