[somber music playing]

2
00:00:52,819 --> 00:00:54,421
[music fades]

3
00:01:01,294 --> 00:01:03,530
Okay. You ready?

4
00:01:16,543 --> 00:01:18,144
- It's beautiful.
- [both chuckle]

5
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:20,347
- Where'd you find this?
- [chuckles] It's cute, right?

6
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,350
[chuckles] Aw, I love this!

7
00:01:23,483 --> 00:01:24,818
- So cute.
- [both chuckle]

8
00:01:26,486 --> 00:01:28,188
It's perfect! [chuckles]

9
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:34,394
[chuckles softly]

10
00:01:34,527 --> 00:01:37,130
It would've been,
you know, a lot for me.

11
00:01:37,263 --> 00:01:39,990
- Thank you.
- Yeah.

12
00:01:41,401 --> 00:01:42,402
It's perfect.

13
00:01:43,269 --> 00:01:44,237
You're perfect.

14
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:48,742
[laughter nearby]

15
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:50,677
Are they here already?

16
00:01:50,810 --> 00:01:52,212
They're like 30 minutes early.

17
00:01:52,345 --> 00:01:53,813
- Why are they-- What?
- Hey.

18
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:54,748
It's okay.

19
00:01:59,152 --> 00:02:00,820
- [chuckles]
- I love it.

20
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:02,722
Yeah?

21
00:02:02,856 --> 00:02:04,424
I'll be honest.
Ally and I, you know,

22
00:02:04,557 --> 00:02:06,893
we weren't sure about
whether to have this party,

23
00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:09,396
but together there's nothing
we can't overcome.

24
00:02:09,529 --> 00:02:11,970
You're the strongest
woman I know.

25
00:02:11,231 --> 00:02:13,990
I love you more than anything.

26
00:02:13,233 --> 00:02:14,534
And I'm so damn excited

27
00:02:14,668 --> 00:02:16,102
to keep building
our lives together.

28
00:02:16,236 --> 00:02:18,238
- Me too. I love you.
- Love you.

29
00:02:18,371 --> 00:02:20,573
[all] Aw.

30
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:22,308
Why don't you ever say
anything like that about me?

31
00:02:22,442 --> 00:02:24,644
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you.

32
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:28,782
Vitamins are on the table.

33
00:02:28,915 --> 00:02:30,450
Oh. Thank you, baby.

34
00:02:32,218 --> 00:02:33,920
[sighs]

35
00:02:34,540 --> 00:02:35,755
- It was a nice party.
- Yeah.

36
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:36,856
Think everyone had a good time.

37
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,725
Yeah. You deserve it.

38
00:02:40,393 --> 00:02:43,296
You're just buttering me up
before you abandon me.

39
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:45,765
I wish I could delay it again.

40
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,367
- I know.
- I don't want to
leave you here.

41
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,350
You just go to the judge

42
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:50,904
and tell him something
wildly inappropriate

43
00:02:51,370 --> 00:02:52,539
and then come back to me.

44
00:02:52,672 --> 00:02:54,307
- I will.
- Oh, you will?

45
00:02:54,441 --> 00:02:55,809
- Mmm-hmm. Yeah. I got some--
- Oh, you will? Like what?

46
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:57,577
- I'll say... [chuckles]
- What?

47
00:02:57,711 --> 00:02:59,446
I'll say we're having
a big old orgy tomorrow night

48
00:02:59,579 --> 00:03:00,580
and they're all invited.

49
00:03:00,714 --> 00:03:01,948
- [laughs]
- Ow!

50
00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:03,249
Ooh. No, no, no.
Be careful. Careful.

51
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:04,951
All right.
That got me too excited.

52
00:03:05,850 --> 00:03:06,419
[both laugh]

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,388
All right.

54
00:03:09,889 --> 00:03:10,990
Hey.

55
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:12,325
- Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
- Hey.

56
00:03:22,350 --> 00:03:24,971
[man on radio]
Just a reminder to send in
those mail-in ballots soon.

57
00:03:25,105 --> 00:03:27,307
We're only two weeks out
from election date, folks,

58
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,109
and every ballot matters.

59
00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,844
So be sure to get yours in
before it's too late.

60
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:32,112
[turns off radio]

61
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:37,250
[woman on phone]
Faith, come on.

62
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:38,952
Polling has you
at a 46-point deadlock,

63
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:41,540
with 8% of voters
still undecided.

64
00:03:41,187 --> 00:03:43,156
We need to push your plan
to reduce the crime rate

65
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:44,290
in order to pull ahead.

66
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:45,959
But this case is my campaign.

67
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,293
He's a dangerous criminal

68
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:48,862
with a long history
of violence.

69
00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:50,697
I put James Sythe away, we win.

70
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:52,165
[sighs] If you lose, you lose
your shot at being DA.

71
00:03:52,298 --> 00:03:53,600
- All right. I got to go.
- Faith--

72
00:03:54,300 --> 00:03:55,535
[sighs]

73
00:04:04,444 --> 00:04:06,460
- Oh. There she is.
- [cameras clicking]

74
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:09,983
Hey. Excuse me!

75
00:04:10,116 --> 00:04:11,384
You, uh...

76
00:04:11,518 --> 00:04:12,485
You dropped this.

77
00:04:13,186 --> 00:04:14,587
Oh. I did.

78
00:04:14,721 --> 00:04:16,156
Oh, my God. Thank you.
You're a lifesaver.

79
00:04:16,289 --> 00:04:17,524
- No worries. Have a good day.
- [chuckles]

80
00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:18,858
Yeah. You too.

81
00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:24,464
- Through that door.
- [woman] Oh, thank you.

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,734
Where do I go
for, uh, jury duty?

83
00:04:27,867 --> 00:04:28,868
Go down there.

84
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:32,205
Thanks.

85
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,723
[bailiff] All right, guys.
Eyes up.

86
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:50,924
Pay attention.

87
00:04:52,692 --> 00:04:54,527
[narrator on TV] Hello.
I'd like to welcome you

88
00:04:54,661 --> 00:04:57,630
as a juror in the Georgia
court system.

89
00:04:57,197 --> 00:05:00,200
As a juror, you protect
the right of every person

90
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:01,801
to a trial by jury.

91
00:05:01,935 --> 00:05:03,503
The right to a trial by jury

92
00:05:03,636 --> 00:05:06,172
is a cornerstone
of our democracy.

93
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,707
That right is protected

94
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:09,709
by the United States
constitution.

95
00:05:12,278 --> 00:05:13,313
- [man] There she is.
- [sighs]

96
00:05:13,446 --> 00:05:14,914
Sugar-free vanilla with skim.

97
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,583
[Faith] Ah. You're good.

98
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:17,617
- Can I get you something else?
- [Faith] Mmm-mmm.

99
00:05:17,751 --> 00:05:19,520
You got something for me?

100
00:05:19,185 --> 00:05:21,540
[sighs] Okay.
Voluntary manslaughter

101
00:05:21,187 --> 00:05:22,722
with a recommendation
of 20 years.

102
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:24,324
Fifteen to serve,
followed by five on probation.

103
00:05:24,457 --> 00:05:25,859
Wow. That's a hell of a deal.

104
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,827
I will even waive
the recidivist statute

105
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:29,429
if he pleads before
we strike the jury.

106
00:05:29,562 --> 00:05:31,640
And admit to something
he didn't do?

107
00:05:31,197 --> 00:05:33,867
[chuckles] Save it
for the jury.

108
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,503
Better yet, why don't you
plead your guy out

109
00:05:36,636 --> 00:05:39,500
and say, free
for your caseload.

110
00:05:39,139 --> 00:05:40,140
Look... [sighs]

111
00:05:41,574 --> 00:05:43,176
my client wants a trial.

112
00:05:43,309 --> 00:05:46,446
Well, then, you're wasting
my time and your client's.

113
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:47,580
Last chance.

114
00:05:49,582 --> 00:05:50,650
After you.

115
00:05:58,391 --> 00:06:02,462
The case you're about to hear
is an alleged homicide.

116
00:06:02,595 --> 00:06:05,131
The state is charging
James Michael Sythe

117
00:06:05,265 --> 00:06:06,633
with malice murder

118
00:06:06,766 --> 00:06:09,803
for the death
of Kendall Alice Carter.

119
00:06:09,936 --> 00:06:12,605
Now, if any of you have
a personal relationship

120
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,774
with the accused,
and/or the deceased

121
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:17,243
that will prohibit you
from serving on this panel

122
00:06:17,377 --> 00:06:19,179
in an unbiased manner,

123
00:06:19,312 --> 00:06:20,580
please speak now.

124
00:06:28,988 --> 00:06:29,956
Yes.

125
00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:33,259
[exhales]

126
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:34,627
He used to ride my bus.

127
00:06:36,262 --> 00:06:37,430
And when was this?

128
00:06:38,798 --> 00:06:41,568
[sighs] I don't know.
Few years ago.

129
00:06:41,701 --> 00:06:45,205
Okay. Then there's no reason
we can't leave it there.

130
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:47,707
I think you'll make
a fine juror.

131
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:49,876
Does anyone else think

132
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:53,246
that they're incapable
of serving on this panel?

133
00:06:54,514 --> 00:06:55,615
Yes.

134
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:58,952
Uh...

135
00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:00,620
Your Honor, my wife
is in the third trimester

136
00:07:00,754 --> 00:07:02,389
of a high-risk pregnancy.

137
00:07:02,522 --> 00:07:04,858
I'd like to be
available to her.

138
00:07:04,991 --> 00:07:06,526
Well, that's commendable.

139
00:07:06,659 --> 00:07:08,628
What hours
do you normally work?

140
00:07:09,696 --> 00:07:11,631
Uh, 9:00 to 6:00, typically.

141
00:07:11,765 --> 00:07:13,400
Then you have my word
that this court

142
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:17,170
will not demand one minute more
of your time than that.

143
00:07:18,872 --> 00:07:19,739
Yeah.

144
00:07:21,408 --> 00:07:23,343
See, the fact that
you don't want to be here

145
00:07:23,476 --> 00:07:25,110
is exactly what makes you

146
00:07:25,145 --> 00:07:28,148
the perfect group
to judicate this case.

147
00:07:29,482 --> 00:07:31,151
You are impartial.

148
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:34,354
You have no skin in the game.
Nothing to gain or lose.

149
00:07:34,487 --> 00:07:36,923
And that is why I believe
that this process,

150
00:07:37,570 --> 00:07:39,859
as flawed as it may be,

151
00:07:39,993 --> 00:07:42,729
is still our best chance
at finding justice.

152
00:07:45,532 --> 00:07:47,867
Do you work, Mrs. Aldworth?

153
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:49,769
Well, I had the toughest
job there is.

154
00:07:49,903 --> 00:07:51,938
I raised two kids
and just sent them off
to college.

155
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:53,740
- Ah. Congratulations.
- Thank you.

156
00:07:53,873 --> 00:07:56,476
And have you ever served
on a jury before?

157
00:07:56,609 --> 00:07:58,945
Twice. Both were mistrials.

158
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:00,947
Twice. Okay. Okay.

159
00:08:01,810 --> 00:08:04,918
Mr. King. Have you ever had
a physical altercation

160
00:08:05,510 --> 00:08:06,920
with a significant other?

161
00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,689
Are you gonna ask that question
to every guy in this courtroom?

162
00:08:11,591 --> 00:08:13,193
If I have to, I will. I...

163
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:16,229
I know these questions
can be very personal--

164
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:17,364
Nah, man.

165
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,165
That ain't me.

166
00:08:22,235 --> 00:08:23,436
Thank you, sir.

167
00:08:25,572 --> 00:08:27,841
[Faith] How long have you lived
in the area, Mr. Chicowski?

168
00:08:27,974 --> 00:08:29,542
About ten years.

169
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:30,977
And you, uh...

170
00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:32,278
Oh, you run a flower shop?

171
00:08:32,412 --> 00:08:34,447
Yeah. With my wife.

172
00:08:34,581 --> 00:08:36,549
Mr. Robinson, it says here
your wife has

173
00:08:36,683 --> 00:08:38,918
primary custody
of your daughter.

174
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Is that correct?

175
00:08:43,289 --> 00:08:45,580
Yeah.

176
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,293
Do you mind if I ask you
who ended the marriage?

177
00:08:49,229 --> 00:08:50,130
She did.

178
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:53,299
Thank you. All you.

179
00:08:53,433 --> 00:08:55,350
Mr. Kemp.

180
00:08:56,636 --> 00:08:57,904
And you're a magazine writer?

181
00:08:58,380 --> 00:08:59,305
[Justin] Uh, that's right.

182
00:08:59,439 --> 00:09:00,674
What kind of articles
do you write?

183
00:09:00,807 --> 00:09:02,275
Features, mostly.

184
00:09:02,409 --> 00:09:03,877
So you write
about a variety of topics?

185
00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:05,278
Yes.

186
00:09:05,412 --> 00:09:08,810
Ever written
about a murder trial?

187
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:11,451
Uh, well, I write for
a regional lifestyle magazine

188
00:09:11,584 --> 00:09:13,453
so it's not exactly
Vanity Fair.

189
00:09:13,586 --> 00:09:15,121
[jurors chuckling]

190
00:09:15,255 --> 00:09:16,790
Take that as a no.

191
00:09:16,923 --> 00:09:19,590
Being a writer,
I imagine you read a lot.

192
00:09:19,192 --> 00:09:21,161
You've read anything
about this case?

193
00:09:21,294 --> 00:09:23,329
No. No. Today's the first
I've heard about it.

194
00:09:24,431 --> 00:09:25,999
Well, then, I think you'll make

195
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:29,135
a perfectly acceptable
member of this jury.

196
00:09:29,269 --> 00:09:31,971
All right. Does the defense
accept or challenge?

197
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,209
We accept him, Your Honor.

198
00:09:36,343 --> 00:09:40,814
Good. Please enter Justin Kemp
as juror number two.

199
00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:44,984
- [Justin] Hey.
- [Ally] Hi!

200
00:09:45,118 --> 00:09:46,820
- [Justin] Hi.
- [Ally] How did it go?

201
00:09:46,953 --> 00:09:48,188
- [sighs]
- [Ally] No.

202
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:49,856
- I got picked.
- No.

203
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:51,324
- Mmm.
- I'm so sorry.

204
00:09:51,458 --> 00:09:52,826
I know.

205
00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:54,127
What happened
to "wildly inappropriate"?

206
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:55,128
Ah. Well,
I'm saving that for you.

207
00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,970
Oh, yeah?

208
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:59,432
They said
it'll be a short trial.

209
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:00,800
I feel like
they always say that,

210
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:02,369
- but I hope so.
- I know.

211
00:10:03,169 --> 00:10:04,371
How was your day?

212
00:10:04,504 --> 00:10:06,740
It was okay.
I did this. [laughs]

213
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:08,842
Yeah? It's good progress.
Looks good.

214
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:10,810
- [laughs] Thank you.
- All day?

215
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,278
No, this did not
take me all day.

216
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:14,180
- Yeah.
- I watched a documentary...

217
00:10:14,314 --> 00:10:17,650
- Mmm-hmm. What about?
- ...and I peed 94 times.

218
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:20,253
- Ninety-four? Okay.
- And I ate some ice.

219
00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:21,521
- Ooh.
- Can I have some more?

220
00:10:21,654 --> 00:10:22,622
- You need some more? Ice?
- Yeah.

221
00:10:22,756 --> 00:10:24,157
Ice. Coming up. All right.

222
00:10:27,227 --> 00:10:28,795
[exhales]

223
00:10:37,671 --> 00:10:40,740
The people need to know
how I'll make this city safer.

224
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:42,742
And women need to know that,

225
00:10:42,876 --> 00:10:44,544
if they're in
an abusive relationship,

226
00:10:44,678 --> 00:10:46,790
their community has their back.

227
00:10:46,212 --> 00:10:48,348
The rest? The rest is noise.

228
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:49,683
So, thank you.

229
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:55,422
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for coming.

230
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:57,857
Thank you. Thank you so much.

231
00:10:57,991 --> 00:11:00,460
Thank you. Hey!
Thank you so much.

232
00:11:00,593 --> 00:11:01,961
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.

233
00:11:02,950 --> 00:11:03,430
Thank you so much. Yeah.

234
00:11:05,650 --> 00:11:06,399
[man] Hey. Good job.

235
00:11:10,603 --> 00:11:12,872
- [sighs] Hey.
- Hey.

236
00:11:13,707 --> 00:11:14,674
Nice speech.

237
00:11:14,808 --> 00:11:16,309
[chuckles]

238
00:11:18,411 --> 00:11:19,612
Thanks.

00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:23,983
Mmm-hmm. Professor Nielsen.

241
00:11:24,117 --> 00:11:26,119
Yeah. No. Yeah, I remember.

242
00:11:27,587 --> 00:11:28,722
You still believe it?

243
00:11:30,657 --> 00:11:31,825
Of course.

244
00:11:33,259 --> 00:11:34,661
All right.
As long as it doesn't

245
00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:36,730
get in the way of a win,
though, right?

246
00:11:36,863 --> 00:11:39,199
Oh, my God.
If you got something to say,
Eric, just say it.

247
00:11:39,332 --> 00:11:42,200
Mmm. I'm saying, he...

248
00:11:42,135 --> 00:11:44,337
You know, he loves you.
You were his favorite student.

249
00:11:44,938 --> 00:11:45,939
[scoffs]

250
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,474
Are you really going there?

251
00:11:47,607 --> 00:11:49,943
- Yeah, I'm going there.
- Oh, my God!

00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,578
And now you're a...

00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:56,549
I'm a what?

255
00:11:56,683 --> 00:11:58,251
A politician. [sighs]

256
00:12:02,522 --> 00:12:03,790
[Judge Thelma] Good morning.

257
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,658
We will begin
with opening statements.

258
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:07,270
Ms. Killebrew.

259
00:12:09,796 --> 00:12:12,665
Okay. The facts
of the case are these.

260
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,202
One year ago, on October 25th,
the defendant, James Sythe,

261
00:12:16,336 --> 00:12:18,738
and his then-girlfriend,
Kendall Carter,

262
00:12:18,872 --> 00:12:20,373
went drinking
at Rowdy's Hideaway

263
00:12:20,507 --> 00:12:21,608
on Old Quarry Road.

264
00:12:25,145 --> 00:12:27,180
[country rock music

265
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,520
Come on. I walked all the way
up there and got it.

266
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,920
- Take the drink.
- I'm already drunk, babe.

267
00:12:35,355 --> 00:12:36,389
[chuckles]

268
00:12:42,796 --> 00:12:44,297
[inaudible conversation]

269
00:12:50,337 --> 00:12:52,138
Things got tense.

270
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:53,540
They had a fight.

271
00:12:53,673 --> 00:12:54,708
[Kendall] Not fair
what you're doing.

272
00:12:54,841 --> 00:12:56,209
[James] Hey, leave it alone.

273
00:12:56,343 --> 00:12:58,111
[Kendall] What the hell
is wrong with you?

274
00:12:58,244 --> 00:12:59,312
[James] I've already told you.
We're not moving in together.

275
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:00,747
[Kendall] I'm not...

276
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,315
- What is wrong with it?
- Stop pushing me.

277
00:13:02,449 --> 00:13:03,583
- I told you, stop...
- I'm not pushing you.

278
00:13:03,717 --> 00:13:04,384
- [gasps]
- I said stop pushing!

279

Jesus Christ.

281
00:13:11,224 --> 00:13:12,892
[Faith] She stormed
out of the bar

282
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:14,427
and he followed her.

283
00:13:16,996 --> 00:13:18,331
The fight escalated,

284
00:13:18,465 --> 00:13:20,400
and things quickly
got out of control.

285
00:13:22,102 --> 00:13:23,770
Hey.

286
00:13:23,903 --> 00:13:25,238
What the hell are you doing?

287
00:13:25,372 --> 00:13:27,140
- What are you doing?
- Get away from me.

288
00:13:27,273 --> 00:13:28,541
Don't touch me.

289
00:13:28,675 --> 00:13:30,377
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?

290
00:13:37,830 --> 00:13:39,185
[Eric] It was par
for the course.

291
00:13:39,319 --> 00:13:41,210
They'd argue. They'd break up.

292
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,622
And they'd make up the next day

293
00:13:42,756 --> 00:13:44,157
after they both
had calmed down.

294
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:47,360
It was basically a game.

295
00:13:47,494 --> 00:13:50,497
[Faith] Now, this couple
had a history of violent
interactions,

296
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:53,600
but this time she was serious.

297
00:13:53,733 --> 00:13:55,201
She was done with him.

298
00:13:55,335 --> 00:13:58,805
So she left and headed
down the road, on foot.

299
00:14:03,510 --> 00:14:05,812
[tense music playing]

300
00:14:12,285 --> 00:14:15,822
[Eric] So this was just
another typical night of drama.

301
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:19,426
So James Sythe got in his car
and he drove home.

302
00:14:21,461 --> 00:14:24,130
He flew into a violent rage

303
00:14:24,264 --> 00:14:27,333
and followed Kendall Carter
down the road...

304
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:30,837
where he proceeded to kill her.

305

[Faith] He beat her viciously.

310
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:56,463
He pushed her over a railing
to the creek below...

311
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:59,366
and left her to die.

314
00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:48,848
James Sythe didn't attack her

315
00:15:48,982 --> 00:15:50,684
and he couldn't have pushed her

316
00:15:50,817 --> 00:15:53,530
because he wasn't there.

is an innocent man.

00:16:26,519 --> 00:16:27,587
[flushes]

326
00:16:27,721 --> 00:16:29,255
[sighing]

327
00:16:39,566 --> 00:16:41,468
Damn, man.

328
00:16:41,601 --> 00:16:43,269
- You... You all right?
- Mmm-hmm.

329
00:16:44,637 --> 00:16:46,906
Yeah. Just those
crime scene pictures.

330
00:16:47,907 --> 00:16:49,242
Never had a strong stomach.

331
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:51,845
Yeah.

332
00:16:51,978 --> 00:16:53,580
All right.
Well, you have a good night.

333
00:16:54,214 --> 00:16:55,215
You, too.

334
00:17:09,496 --> 00:17:10,930
[all] God grant me the serenity

335
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,666
to accept the things
that I cannot change,

336
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,469
the courage to change
the things that I can,

337
00:17:16,603 --> 00:17:19,500
and the wisdom
to know the difference.

338
00:17:20,407 --> 00:17:21,508
Great work, everybody.

339
00:17:21,641 --> 00:17:23,900
Keep coming back.

340
00:17:23,143 --> 00:17:25,111
[all] It works if you work it.

341
00:17:25,245 --> 00:17:26,446
Great job, everybody.

342
00:17:27,614 --> 00:17:28,615
[man] Right on, bro!

343
00:17:31,451 --> 00:17:32,819
Hey, Justin.

344
00:17:32,952 --> 00:17:33,987
Hey!

345
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:35,422
You were quiet tonight.

346
00:17:35,555 --> 00:17:37,657
Yeah. I've got
a lot on my mind.

347
00:17:37,791 --> 00:17:39,325
Yeah, I can tell. [chuckles]

348
00:17:39,459 --> 00:17:42,620
You want to talk about it?

349
00:17:42,195 --> 00:17:45,331
Okay, look, whatever it is,
my advice is the same.

350
00:17:45,465 --> 00:17:47,333
You know what to do.

351
00:17:47,467 --> 00:17:49,169
We're only as sick
as our secrets.

352
00:17:50,170 --> 00:17:51,204
Yeah.

353
00:17:51,338 --> 00:17:52,505
Okay, I'm always here for you.

354
00:18:06,820 --> 00:18:08,388
[tense music playing]

355
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,222
[man] Working late?

356
00:18:42,355 --> 00:18:43,390
[keyboard clacks]

357
00:18:43,523 --> 00:18:44,924
Be out of your way in a minute.

358
00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:46,192
Nah, take as long as you want,
I'll come back.

359
00:19:12,218 --> 00:19:14,540
- Hey.
- Hey.

360
00:19:14,187 --> 00:19:16,589
- Sorry I'm late.
- That's okay.

361
00:19:16,723 --> 00:19:17,791
How was the meeting?

362
00:19:17,924 --> 00:19:19,359
It was good.

363
00:19:19,492 --> 00:19:21,361
I stayed after
to talk with Larry for a bit.

364
00:19:21,494 --> 00:19:22,729
[breathing heavily]

365
00:19:22,862 --> 00:19:24,264
You okay? Your heart.

366
00:19:24,397 --> 00:19:26,599
- Hmm?
- Are you okay?

367
00:19:27,967 --> 00:19:28,968
Yeah, I'm good.

368
00:19:30,270 --> 00:19:31,905
Everything's going to be fine.

369
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:35,375
We're going
to be a family soon.

370
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:37,430
[Justin] Hmm.

371
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,279
Very soon, I hope. [chuckles]

372
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,515
[sighing]

373
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:51,624
- [tires screeching]
- [gasping]

374
00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:52,792
[breathing heavily]

375
00:19:52,926 --> 00:19:53,893
What the...

376
00:20:07,374 --> 00:20:09,743
I'd seen them in there before.
A couple times.

377
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:12,345
Um, it was always
the same thing.

378
00:20:12,479 --> 00:20:15,448
They would start off
fun and flirty, and then,

379
00:20:15,582 --> 00:20:17,984
after a few drinks,
things would change.

380
00:20:18,118 --> 00:20:19,753
Change, how?

381
00:20:19,886 --> 00:20:22,880
That night, she came in,

382
00:20:22,222 --> 00:20:26,126
trying to talk to him,
like, seriously, you know?

383
00:20:26,259 --> 00:20:29,129
But he wasn't having it.

384
00:20:29,262 --> 00:20:30,463
[Kendall]
What's wrong with you?

385
00:20:30,597 --> 00:20:31,965
What, do you want me
to disagree?

386
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:33,566
No. I want you to say,
"I love you, too."

387
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:35,769
I basically did.

388
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:36,936
I want you to say,
"I love you, too."

389
00:20:37,700 --> 00:20:38,371
Read between the goddamn lines,

390
00:20:38,505 --> 00:20:40,140
I said, "Yeah."

391
00:20:40,273 --> 00:20:41,675
- [Kendall] What lines?
- [James] I'm sick of this shit.

392
00:20:41,808 --> 00:20:43,900
[Kendall] What lines
are you talking about?

393
00:20:43,143 --> 00:20:43,810
[James] Hey,
get out of my face!

394
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,311
[Kendall gasps]

395
00:20:45,445 --> 00:20:48,882
[woman] He got mad.
Like, scary.

396
00:20:49,150 --> 00:20:50,417
She leaves.

397
00:20:52,652 --> 00:20:55,822
He follows her outside.
So I started following.

398
00:20:55,955 --> 00:20:56,956
Hey!

399
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,426
What the hell are you doing?

400
00:20:59,559 --> 00:21:00,860
What are you doing?

401
00:21:00,994 --> 00:21:01,995
I want to go home.

402
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:06,320
- I don't want
to do this anymore.
- [James] Do what?

403
00:21:06,166 --> 00:21:08,168
[Kendall] I'm done.
You're embarrassing!

404
00:21:08,301 --> 00:21:09,469
What are you talking about?

405
00:21:09,602 --> 00:21:10,804
Who cares
what these idiots think?

406
00:21:13,106 --> 00:21:14,941
What are you going to do?
Hit me?

407
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:16,376
- Relax. I'm sorry.
- Don't touch me.

408
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:17,744
- It was...
- What are you going to do?

409
00:21:17,877 --> 00:21:19,713
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?

410
00:21:19,846 --> 00:21:20,847
Bring it on!

411
00:21:23,216 --> 00:21:25,510
You better get the ****
out of here right now.

412
00:21:26,386 --> 00:21:27,987
[crowd murmuring]

413
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:31,758
Fine, walk home, in the rain,
you stupid *****!

414
00:21:35,161 --> 00:21:37,397
- And, Kendall, we ain't over!
- I'm done, James.

415
00:21:39,199 --> 00:21:41,368
[crowd murmuring]

416
00:21:46,606 --> 00:21:48,475
So she left,

417
00:21:48,608 --> 00:21:50,110
then what happened?

418
00:21:50,243 --> 00:21:52,212
He followed her
out of the parking lot

419
00:21:52,345 --> 00:21:54,347
and onto Old Quarry Road.

420
00:21:54,481 --> 00:21:57,183
Thank you. No further
questions, Your Honor.

421
00:21:58,885 --> 00:22:01,421
So you saw him walk down
Old Quarry Road?

422
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:03,757
Yes.

423
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:05,225
Did you know
that his car was parked

424
00:22:05,358 --> 00:22:06,393
down on Old Quarry Road?

425
00:22:07,761 --> 00:22:08,795
No.

426
00:22:09,829 --> 00:22:11,398
No.

427
00:22:11,531 --> 00:22:13,660
Were you drinking that night?

428
00:22:13,199 --> 00:22:14,401
Objection, Your Honor.

429
00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:16,670
Overruled.

430
00:22:16,803 --> 00:22:18,304
Were you drinking that night?

431
00:22:19,372 --> 00:22:20,674
Yes.

432
00:22:20,807 --> 00:22:23,576
So you don't know
how far he followed her

433
00:22:23,710 --> 00:22:27,800
down Old Quarry Road, do you?

434
00:22:27,213 --> 00:22:28,782
No. Um, at that point,

435
00:22:28,915 --> 00:22:31,217
I had stopped filming
and I went back inside.

436
00:22:32,552 --> 00:22:34,621
No more questions.

437
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:37,190
[Judge Thelma] Does the State
have any more questions?

438
00:22:37,323 --> 00:22:38,792
No more questions, Your Honor.

439
00:22:43,630 --> 00:22:45,398
[Judge Thelma] Thank you.
You may step down.

440
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:47,967
I was at the bar till close.

441
00:22:48,101 --> 00:22:50,804
I didn't see either one of them
come back in.

442
00:22:50,937 --> 00:22:52,172
And then the next day,
I opened,

443
00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:53,673
and I did what I always do.

444
00:22:53,807 --> 00:22:56,176
I took the night's trash
out to the dumpster.

445
00:22:59,746 --> 00:23:02,749
Miss! Miss!
I'm sorry. I need your help.

446
00:23:02,882 --> 00:23:05,785
Because of the rain
the night before...

447
00:23:05,919 --> 00:23:08,121
the trails were
all muddy and wet.

448
00:23:11,324 --> 00:23:13,259
So I had to cut up
to Old Quarry by the bridge

449
00:23:13,393 --> 00:23:14,994
in order to get back
to the road.

450
00:23:16,229 --> 00:23:17,864
[tense music playing]

451
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:21,134
[breathing heavily]

452
00:23:33,146 --> 00:23:34,414
Right. And just to be clear,

453
00:23:34,547 --> 00:23:36,416
when you found Kendall Carter,

454
00:23:37,217 --> 00:23:38,485
she was dead?

455
00:23:40,787 --> 00:23:43,523
Her head was
in a pool of blood.

456
00:23:44,758 --> 00:23:45,859
It was awful.

457
00:23:49,290 --> 00:23:50,563
Thank you for your testimony,
Mr. Reed.

458
00:23:50,697 --> 00:23:51,865
I know it isn't easy.

459
00:23:53,366 --> 00:23:54,367
That's all I have.

460
00:23:56,670 --> 00:23:58,371
Mr. Resnick, your witness.

461
00:23:59,673 --> 00:24:01,474
Mr. Reed,

462
00:24:01,608 --> 00:24:04,310
you hike those trails
in the woods frequently,
don't you?

463
00:24:05,545 --> 00:24:06,613
Yes, sir.

464
00:24:06,746 --> 00:24:08,448
Twice a week at least.

465
00:24:08,581 --> 00:24:11,117
In your opinion, is the hike
down the hillside difficult?

466
00:24:11,885 --> 00:24:13,687
Yes.

467
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:15,588
I assume you wear hiking boots

468
00:24:15,722 --> 00:24:17,323
when you hike, Mr. Reed?
Is that correct?

469
00:24:19,292 --> 00:24:20,593
Of course.

470
00:24:20,727 --> 00:24:23,797
This is a picture
of Kendall Carter

471
00:24:23,930 --> 00:24:27,634
the morning you found her
below Old Quarry Road.

472
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:30,203
Can you please tell us
what kind of shoes
she's wearing?

473
00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:34,407
Looks like heels.

474
00:24:36,343 --> 00:24:38,445
Heels.

475
00:24:38,578 --> 00:24:41,281
And if she's walking along
the edge of Old Quarry Road

476
00:24:41,414 --> 00:24:45,885
in a blinding rainstorm
at night, in heels,

477
00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:49,122
and she suddenly
lost her footing,

478
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:51,570
it'd be next to impossible

479
00:24:51,191 --> 00:24:53,590
to prevent herself
from falling,
isn't that correct?

480
00:24:55,962 --> 00:24:56,896
Yes.

481
00:25:00,330 --> 00:25:00,967
Thank you.

482
00:25:02,936 --> 00:25:05,271
She landed
in a posterior position,

483
00:25:05,405 --> 00:25:09,109
which suggests she was pushed,
as opposed to a fall.

484
00:25:09,242 --> 00:25:11,478
Rigor mortis indicated
the victim had been dead

485
00:25:11,611 --> 00:25:13,179
for around nine hours.

486
00:25:13,313 --> 00:25:14,514
[Faith] Hmm.

487
00:25:14,647 --> 00:25:16,490
And the cause of death?

488
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:18,318
The severity of her
skull fractures suggests

489
00:25:18,451 --> 00:25:21,554
she was struck
with a non-specific
blunt instrument.

490
00:25:22,956 --> 00:25:24,924
And the manner of death?

491
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:27,930
Homicide.

492
00:25:29,396 --> 00:25:31,264
[Faith] Thank you.
No more questions.

493
00:25:34,634 --> 00:25:37,237
The witness is yours,
Mr. Resnick.

494
00:25:37,370 --> 00:25:39,305
Is it possible
that she sustained

495
00:25:39,439 --> 00:25:41,474
her head injuries
from hitting the rocks?

496
00:25:41,608 --> 00:25:43,309
Possible, sure,

497
00:25:43,443 --> 00:25:44,611
but in my
professional opinion,
it's not likely.

498
00:25:44,744 --> 00:25:46,212
But possible.

499
00:25:49,315 --> 00:25:50,283
That's all from me.

500
00:25:55,455 --> 00:25:58,580
Thank you for your testimony.
You may step down.

501
00:26:02,429 --> 00:26:03,963
On October 25th of last year,

502
00:26:04,970 --> 00:26:05,465
you lived on Old Quarry Road.

503
00:26:05,598 --> 00:26:07,534
- Correct?
- Yes.

504
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:09,336
And do you remember
anything unusual happening
that evening?

505
00:26:09,469 --> 00:26:12,672
I saw a man get out of his car
[chuckles] in a storm.

506
00:26:12,806 --> 00:26:14,740
Do you remember
what time that was?

507
00:26:14,207 --> 00:26:16,343
It was 11:48 on the button.

508
00:26:17,210 --> 00:26:18,345
I looked at the clock.

509
00:26:19,145 --> 00:26:20,880
I heard thunder,

510
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:23,350
and so I went to the window,
and lightning lit up the sky.

511
00:26:24,818 --> 00:26:25,752
There he was.

512
00:26:25,885 --> 00:26:27,487
[Faith] What was he doing?

513
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:30,824
He looked around, he went over
to the side of the road.

514
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,829
Peered over the railing...

515
00:26:35,962 --> 00:26:39,699
got back in his car
and drove off.

516
00:26:39,833 --> 00:26:41,234
And is that man
you saw that night

517
00:26:41,368 --> 00:26:42,736
here in the courtroom
today, do you know?

518
00:26:42,869 --> 00:26:43,937
Can you point him out?

519
00:26:46,206 --> 00:26:47,207
[coin clatters]

520
00:26:49,175 --> 00:26:50,410
Yes, he is here today.

521
00:26:52,145 --> 00:26:54,581
That's him right there.

522
00:26:54,714 --> 00:26:56,850
Let the record reflect that
the witness has identified

523
00:26:56,983 --> 00:26:59,190
the man he saw
as the defendant,

524
00:26:59,152 --> 00:27:01,888
James Michael Sythe.

525
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:03,356
No more questions, Your Honor.

526
00:27:05,291 --> 00:27:07,494
All right. This feels
like a good time

527
00:27:07,627 --> 00:27:09,696
to break for the day.

528
00:27:09,829 --> 00:27:12,932
This court is in recess until
9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning

529
00:27:13,660 --> 00:27:15,802
when we will pick up here
where we left off.

530
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,820
Justin, what's going on?

531
00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:32,318
I need a lawyer.

532
00:27:34,287 --> 00:27:36,556
Okay. Give me a dollar.

533
00:27:36,690 --> 00:27:38,725
And I'm not joking, that gives
us attorney-client privilege.

534
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:39,859
Take a seat.

535
00:27:43,163 --> 00:27:44,998
So I went to clear my head,

536
00:27:45,131 --> 00:27:47,500
and found myself
at Rowdy's Hideaway...

537
00:27:49,202 --> 00:27:50,970
Ordered a drink
and sat there for a while,

538
00:27:51,104 --> 00:27:52,605
then I got up and left.

539
00:27:52,739 --> 00:27:55,608
I got to the car.
It was raining.

540
00:27:55,742 --> 00:27:57,210
I turned back onto Old Quarry,

541
00:27:57,344 --> 00:27:59,279
I went about
a quarter of a mile

542
00:27:59,412 --> 00:28:00,747
and I hit something.

543
00:28:02,315 --> 00:28:03,516
I got out of the car
and I looked around.

544
00:28:03,650 --> 00:28:05,180
I checked,
I didn't see anything,

545
00:28:05,151 --> 00:28:07,554
and I figured it was
a deer that ran off,

546
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:10,457
and then I got back
in the car and went home.

547
00:28:13,693 --> 00:28:15,862
Okay, what's the problem?

548
00:28:15,995 --> 00:28:18,310
I got called for jury duty.

549
00:28:18,164 --> 00:28:20,600
- The Kendall Carter case?
- Mmm-hmm.

550
00:28:20,734 --> 00:28:24,700
And they found her body
in a creek bed,

551
00:28:24,204 --> 00:28:26,940
about a quarter mile from
Rowdy's Hideaway last October.

552
00:28:29,976 --> 00:28:31,177
What are you telling me?

553
00:28:32,178 --> 00:28:33,613
[breathes heavily]

554
00:28:34,647 --> 00:28:35,949
Maybe I didn't hit a deer.

555
00:28:37,517 --> 00:28:38,518
[sighs]

556
00:28:39,953 --> 00:28:41,488
[stammers] I don't know
what to do.

557
00:28:43,556 --> 00:28:44,924
You were at a bar
and you had a drink?

558
00:28:45,580 --> 00:28:46,493
Yes, but I didn't touch it.

559
00:28:46,626 --> 00:28:47,794
Doesn't matter.

560
00:28:47,927 --> 00:28:49,129
Given your history,

561
00:28:49,262 --> 00:28:50,563
there isn't a jury in the world

562
00:28:50,697 --> 00:28:52,198
that would believe
you were sober.

563
00:28:52,332 --> 00:28:53,833
But if I was
coming forward voluntarily,

564
00:28:53,967 --> 00:28:55,468
that has to count
for something, right?

565
00:28:55,602 --> 00:28:56,770
If I come forward
and I tell them the truth...

566
00:28:56,903 --> 00:28:58,138
Then your prior DUIs,

567
00:28:58,271 --> 00:28:59,773
and the fact
that you were at a bar,

568
00:28:59,906 --> 00:29:01,107
gives the State
reason to charge you

569
00:29:01,241 --> 00:29:02,575
with first-degree
vehicular homicide

570
00:29:02,709 --> 00:29:03,810
or even felony murder.

571
00:29:03,943 --> 00:29:05,712
That's 30 years to life.

572
00:29:05,845 --> 00:29:07,147
What?

573
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,648
If you were to
come forward right now,

574
00:29:08,782 --> 00:29:10,183
you will be completely screwed.

575
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:13,687
That's it?

576
00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:14,821
Uh...

577
00:29:17,290 --> 00:29:18,258
[sighs]

578
00:29:19,159 --> 00:29:20,160
I'm sorry.

579
00:29:22,996 --> 00:29:25,365
[Eric] The defense calls
James Sythe, Your Honor.

580
00:29:28,802 --> 00:29:31,710
[Judge Thelma] Please raise
your right hand.

581
00:29:31,204 --> 00:29:32,839
Do you swear to tell the truth,

582
00:29:32,972 --> 00:29:35,108
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,

583
00:29:35,241 --> 00:29:36,276
so help you God?

584
00:29:36,409 --> 00:29:37,577
Yes, Your Honor.

585
00:29:37,711 --> 00:29:39,946
All right. Have a seat.

586
00:29:43,216 --> 00:29:45,518
Please state your name
for the record.

587
00:29:45,652 --> 00:29:47,387
Uh, James Michael Sythe.

588
00:29:49,723 --> 00:29:51,191
[Judge Thelma]
Mr. Resnick, your witness.

589
00:29:51,324 --> 00:29:53,693
Okay, James, let's talk
about what happened

590
00:29:53,827 --> 00:29:55,228
the night of October 25th.

591
00:29:55,362 --> 00:29:56,496
Can you tell us what happened?

592
00:29:56,629 --> 00:29:58,398
Yeah, um...

593
00:29:58,531 --> 00:29:59,933
Kendall and I went to Rowdy's

594
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:02,602
to have a few drinks,
get some food.

595
00:30:03,970 --> 00:30:06,390
We were having fun,
shots and pool,

596
00:30:06,172 --> 00:30:08,308
played some darts, you know.

597
00:30:08,441 --> 00:30:11,711
Now, there's been testimony
that you guys argued.

598
00:30:11,845 --> 00:30:13,913
You don't deny that, do you?

599
00:30:14,470 --> 00:30:16,820
[James] No. No, yeah. Um...

600
00:30:16,216 --> 00:30:18,885
She got really drunk
and she was...

601
00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:20,860
She was giving me a hard time.

602
00:30:20,954 --> 00:30:22,822
What do you mean?

603
00:30:22,956 --> 00:30:25,325
She'd been going on
about us moving in together

604
00:30:25,458 --> 00:30:27,930
for a couple of weeks and I...

605
00:30:27,227 --> 00:30:28,795
just kept telling her
that I didn't think

606
00:30:28,928 --> 00:30:30,530
that I was ready.

607
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:31,631
We'll... We'll see.

608
00:30:33,366 --> 00:30:35,335
- We'll see.
- What do you mean "We'll see"?

609
00:30:35,468 --> 00:30:37,904
And she just wasn't having it.
She said I didn't love her.

610
00:30:39,806 --> 00:30:41,341
And, uh, she stormed out.

611
00:30:41,474 --> 00:30:42,809
And then what happened?

612
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:46,460
We argued in the parking lot.

613
00:30:46,179 --> 00:30:47,580
I don't want
to do this anymore.

614
00:30:47,714 --> 00:30:49,549
- Do what?
- I want to go home.

615
00:30:50,250 --> 00:30:51,518
I'm done.

616
00:30:51,651 --> 00:30:52,986
Fine. Get out of here.
Go walk home.

617
00:30:55,121 --> 00:30:57,357
Go walk home then. In the rain.

618
00:31:01,940 --> 00:31:03,430
And she was just
out of her head, you know?

619
00:31:03,563 --> 00:31:05,832
Screaming at me and walked off.

620
00:31:06,966 --> 00:31:09,350
[Eric] And what did you do?

621
00:31:09,169 --> 00:31:11,400
[James] Followed her, at first,

622
00:31:11,137 --> 00:31:13,606
but it was cold,
it was raining.

623
00:31:14,908 --> 00:31:16,943
I remember getting in my car.

624
00:31:17,770 --> 00:31:18,511
So I was parked next to, uh,

625
00:31:18,645 --> 00:31:20,246
mile marker 217.

626
00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:27,153
My niece is born
February 17th, so that just...

627
00:31:29,356 --> 00:31:31,458
I don't know, pulled me
out of everything,

628
00:31:31,591 --> 00:31:34,194
then I turned around
and just drove home.

629
00:31:41,167 --> 00:31:44,137
And, um, we'd see
each other the next day,

630
00:31:44,270 --> 00:31:45,805
and we'd work it out, like...

631
00:31:47,307 --> 00:31:48,308
like always.

632
00:31:50,276 --> 00:31:53,813
Look, was I stupid?

633
00:31:53,947 --> 00:31:56,483
For not wanting
to move in with her?

634
00:31:56,616 --> 00:31:58,485
So I could see
her face every day?

635
00:32:00,487 --> 00:32:01,454
Absolutely, yeah.

636
00:32:03,356 --> 00:32:05,625
But I could never put
my hands on her like that.

637
00:32:09,996 --> 00:32:11,531
I couldn't do that to her.

638
00:32:12,565 --> 00:32:13,767
I... I loved her.

639
00:32:16,469 --> 00:32:19,205
Now, look, I understand,

640
00:32:19,339 --> 00:32:22,375
with my past,
and the mistakes
that I've made,

641
00:32:22,509 --> 00:32:25,110
I know what you're thinking,
I do. And I get it.

642
00:32:27,847 --> 00:32:29,516
But I'm...

643
00:32:29,649 --> 00:32:31,351
I'm not that guy anymore.

644
00:32:32,485 --> 00:32:33,687
Okay, I've changed.

645
00:32:35,689 --> 00:32:37,691
I left that life behind me,
and I, you know...

646
00:32:37,824 --> 00:32:39,526
[voice breaks] I thought
I was doing really good.

647
00:32:41,494 --> 00:32:44,970
[sighs] I don't know
what happened.

648
00:32:45,310 --> 00:32:46,132
I went home. I drove...

649
00:32:46,266 --> 00:32:47,534
I just... I drove home.

650
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:56,760
I know how difficult
this is for you, James.

651
00:32:58,178 --> 00:33:00,460
You take your time, and...

652
00:33:00,180 --> 00:33:01,581
let me know when you're ready.

653
00:33:03,483 --> 00:33:04,451
I'm good.

654
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,356
I'm gonna show you
a video now, okay?

655
00:33:09,489 --> 00:33:11,124
And then I'm gonna
ask you some questions.

656
00:33:13,226 --> 00:33:15,328
[James on video]
It's fine. I'm not mad.

657
00:33:15,462 --> 00:33:16,996
Why didn't you say it to me?

658
00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:18,765

[billiard balls clatter]

660
00:33:22,602 --> 00:33:24,137
Did you see that?

661
00:33:24,270 --> 00:33:25,872
- That's for you.
- [Kendall] That's my guy.

662
00:33:27,140 --> 00:33:28,475
[chuckles]

663
00:33:28,608 --> 00:33:30,844
- I love you.
- I love you, too.

664
00:33:30,977 --> 00:33:32,112
Did you miss or make it?

665
00:33:32,245 --> 00:33:33,146
[Kendall] No, I didn't make it.

666
00:33:33,279 --> 00:33:34,948
[James] You missed it.

667
00:33:35,810 --> 00:33:37,384
Well, let me help you.
You're good luck. Come here.

668
00:33:38,118 --> 00:33:39,850
[Kendall] I was.

669
00:33:41,888 --> 00:33:42,922
[Kendall kisses]

670
00:33:46,426 --> 00:33:47,861
[James] Okay,
turn that shit off.

671
00:33:47,994 --> 00:33:49,195
[Kendall] Okay.

672
00:33:52,966 --> 00:33:53,967
[Eric] Who took that video?

673
00:33:54,934 --> 00:33:55,935
Kendall.

674
00:33:57,937 --> 00:33:58,872
When?

675
00:33:59,500 --> 00:34:00,340
October 25th.

676
00:34:01,508 --> 00:34:02,509
Of last year.

677
00:34:03,143 --> 00:34:04,310
And where?

678
00:34:05,578 --> 00:34:07,347
At Rowdy's Hideaway.

679
00:34:10,717 --> 00:34:12,752
Thank you, James.
No more questions.

680
00:34:16,656 --> 00:34:18,158
Prosecution, your witness.

681
00:34:18,925 --> 00:34:20,393
Mr. Sythe,

682
00:34:20,527 --> 00:34:23,329
you just stated that
you loved Kendall Carter.

683
00:34:23,463 --> 00:34:25,231
Is that right?

684
00:34:25,365 --> 00:34:27,500
- More than anything.
- [Faith] Hmm.

685
00:34:27,634 --> 00:34:29,269
And on the night
of October 25th,

686
00:34:29,402 --> 00:34:31,370
you and Kendall drove
to Rowdy's Hideaway.

687
00:34:31,171 --> 00:34:32,105
Is that right?

688
00:34:32,238 --> 00:34:34,674
We took my car, yeah.

689
00:34:34,808 --> 00:34:35,942
And when you got there,
the two of you

690
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,310
started drinking,
is that right?

691
00:34:38,478 --> 00:34:40,613
Yeah. It's a bar.

692
00:34:40,747 --> 00:34:42,549
And then the two of you
started arguing.

693
00:34:42,682 --> 00:34:43,717
Is that right?

694
00:34:44,484 --> 00:34:45,318
Yeah.

695
00:34:46,853 --> 00:34:48,254
And during this argument,

696
00:34:48,388 --> 00:34:50,724
you knocked a beer bottle
off the table.

697
00:34:50,857 --> 00:34:51,991
Is that right?

698
00:34:53,493 --> 00:34:55,562
Yeah, it was an accident.

699
00:34:55,695 --> 00:34:58,732
And then she left,
and you went after her.

700
00:34:58,865 --> 00:34:59,766
Is that right?

701
00:34:59,899 --> 00:35:01,468
Yeah.

702
00:35:01,601 --> 00:35:05,710
And outside, the argument
continued, and... [scoffs]

703
00:35:05,205 --> 00:35:07,340
it is your sworn testimony,

704
00:35:07,474 --> 00:35:09,743
that you left
Kendall Carter alone

705
00:35:09,876 --> 00:35:12,145
to walk down
a narrow two-lane road

706
00:35:12,278 --> 00:35:15,181
in the dark, drunk,
in the pouring rain,

707
00:35:15,315 --> 00:35:17,217
in the middle
of a thunderstorm.

708
00:35:19,319 --> 00:35:21,221
Is that how you treat
someone you love?

709
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:27,360
No more questions, Your Honor.

710
00:35:30,263 --> 00:35:32,499
Are there any further questions
from the defense?

711
00:35:32,632 --> 00:35:35,602
No, Your Honor.
The defense rests.

712
00:35:35,735 --> 00:35:38,672
Thank you for your testimony,
you can step down.

713
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:48,882
[Judge Thelma]
Members of the jury,

714
00:35:49,150 --> 00:35:51,151
the evidence in this case
is now closed.

715
00:35:51,284 --> 00:35:52,585
Attorneys, you may give

716
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,954
your closing arguments
at this time.

717
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,157
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...

718
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,729
Kendall Carter's murder
was a savage crime

719
00:36:02,862 --> 00:36:04,731
committed by an evil man.

720
00:36:05,832 --> 00:36:07,567
[Eric] An innocent man.

721
00:36:07,701 --> 00:36:11,304
An innocent man
who was shattered

722
00:36:11,438 --> 00:36:14,874
from losing
the love of his life.

723
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,770
We have an eyewitness
who saw him at the crime scene

724
00:36:17,210 --> 00:36:19,312
at the time of death.

725
00:36:19,446 --> 00:36:22,615
In the middle of the night,
in a blinding rainstorm...

726
00:36:23,650 --> 00:36:24,984
it could have been anyone.

727
00:36:25,118 --> 00:36:26,986
When she broke up
with him that night,

728
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,589
and he realized she meant it,

729
00:36:29,723 --> 00:36:30,790
he snapped.

730
00:36:32,158 --> 00:36:33,793
And so he bludgeoned her.

731
00:36:33,927 --> 00:36:37,230
No murder weapon
was recovered. Nothing.

732
00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:39,399
Nothing.

733
00:36:39,532 --> 00:36:42,502
The defendant's DNA
was all over the victim.

734
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:43,903
No one else's.

735
00:36:44,370 --> 00:36:45,672
[Eric] The State says
there was DNA.

736
00:36:45,805 --> 00:36:48,308
Of course, there was DNA.
Of course.

737
00:36:48,441 --> 00:36:49,809
They were a couple.

738
00:36:49,943 --> 00:36:52,312
[Faith] Yeah, of course,
they were a couple.

739
00:36:52,445 --> 00:36:53,980
Until they weren't.

740
00:36:54,114 --> 00:36:58,118
James Sythe bravely
took the stand

741
00:36:58,251 --> 00:37:00,720
and admitted
to some difficult truths.

742
00:37:00,854 --> 00:37:02,288
[Faith] That? [scoffs]

743
00:37:02,422 --> 00:37:05,158
That was all a performance,
nothing else.

744
00:37:05,925 --> 00:37:07,694
Look...

745
00:37:07,827 --> 00:37:10,997
I think we can
all agree on this.

746
00:37:11,131 --> 00:37:14,334
The person responsible
for Kendall Carter's death

747
00:37:15,301 --> 00:37:16,970
deserves to face justice.

748
00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:20,306
That person is James Sythe.

749
00:37:21,474 --> 00:37:22,575
But that person,

750
00:37:23,677 --> 00:37:24,911
that evil man,

751
00:37:26,146 --> 00:37:27,414
is still out there.

752
00:37:29,282 --> 00:37:32,485
All I ask is that you
deliver a verdict

753
00:37:32,619 --> 00:37:33,920
that speaks the truth.

754
00:37:35,388 --> 00:37:38,291
The truth about
what happened to Kendall.

755
00:37:38,425 --> 00:37:41,610
The truth about what happened
on Old Quarry Road that night.

756
00:37:42,662 --> 00:37:44,164
And the truth about him.

757
00:37:47,867 --> 00:37:49,235
And the truth about him...

758
00:37:50,503 --> 00:37:52,439
is that James Michael Sythe

759
00:37:53,540 --> 00:37:54,541
is guilty.

760
00:37:55,575 --> 00:37:57,177
Find him guilty.

761
00:37:59,145 --> 00:38:01,715
The truth is, James Sythe...

762
00:38:02,549 --> 00:38:04,384
is not guilty.

763
00:38:07,554 --> 00:38:08,922
Find James Sythe...

764
00:38:10,457 --> 00:38:11,524
not guilty.

765
00:38:14,327 --> 00:38:15,328
Thank you.

766
00:38:20,567 --> 00:38:22,769
- Good luck.
- Thanks.

767
00:38:22,902 --> 00:38:24,104
Um, excuse me, everyone.

768
00:38:24,237 --> 00:38:26,720
If... If nobody objects,

769
00:38:26,206 --> 00:38:28,441
I'd really like to throw
my name into the ring

770
00:38:28,575 --> 00:38:29,642
to be the forewoman.

771
00:38:29,776 --> 00:38:31,770
I've served on multiple juries.

772
00:38:31,211 --> 00:38:32,545
- I know the ropes.
- I'm cool with it.

773
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:33,913
- Yeah. Sure.
- Sure!

774
00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:35,615
- I don't mind.
- Okay, great. Thanks.

775
00:38:35,749 --> 00:38:39,252
Okay. So right now we can do
one of two things.

776
00:38:39,386 --> 00:38:40,920
We can vote and talk,

777
00:38:41,540 --> 00:38:42,389
or talk and vote.

778
00:38:42,522 --> 00:38:44,570
I suggest that we just vote

779
00:38:44,190 --> 00:38:45,692
and just get an idea
where we all stand.

780
00:38:45,825 --> 00:38:47,360
- Does that sound good?
- Agreed.

781
00:38:47,494 --> 00:38:50,196
Okay. So I vote "guilty."

782
00:38:50,330 --> 00:38:52,766
Yes, ma'am. Me, too.

783
00:38:52,899 --> 00:38:57,237
Me three. This whole thing
is such a shame.

784
00:38:57,370 --> 00:39:00,106
Yeah. I definitely think
that he did it.

785
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,241
Definitely.

786
00:39:02,442 --> 00:39:03,443
I agree.

787
00:39:04,577 --> 00:39:05,912
Everything fits together.

788
00:39:06,946 --> 00:39:08,682
Yeah. Let him rot.

789
00:39:10,500 --> 00:39:11,718
[woman 1] Amen.

790
00:39:11,851 --> 00:39:15,422
Nine. So that is
nine for guilty.

791
00:39:16,756 --> 00:39:18,558
You, sir? Hi.

792
00:39:18,692 --> 00:39:20,660
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, guilty's cool.

793
00:39:21,895 --> 00:39:22,896
Okay.

794
00:39:23,530 --> 00:39:24,731
And...

795
00:39:24,864 --> 00:39:26,533
Oh! You, sir? How about you?

796
00:39:26,666 --> 00:39:28,334
Kid should have pled out.

797
00:39:30,670 --> 00:39:32,172
And then there was one.

798
00:39:35,442 --> 00:39:36,976
[Justin sighs]

799
00:39:41,581 --> 00:39:43,616
[somber music playing]

800
00:39:43,750 --> 00:39:46,190
All right. So...
what's it gonna be?

801
00:39:46,152 --> 00:39:47,487
You with us or what?

802
00:39:49,155 --> 00:39:50,590
[sighs]

803
00:39:50,724 --> 00:39:52,258
[woman 1 sighs] Tsk.

804
00:39:55,261 --> 00:39:56,863
Don't you want to get home
to your pregnant wife?

805
00:39:56,996 --> 00:39:58,198
Of... Of course I do.

806
00:39:58,331 --> 00:39:59,566
All right.
So what's the problem?

807
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,135
[stammers]

808
00:40:02,268 --> 00:40:03,470
You know, this is somebody's
life we're dealing with.

809
00:40:03,603 --> 00:40:05,805
Shouldn't we at least
talk about it?

810
00:40:06,940 --> 00:40:08,541
[sighs]

811
00:40:08,675 --> 00:40:10,844
This is a joke. [sighs]

812

No, it's, um...
Look, it's a deliberation.

813
00:40:13,790 --> 00:40:15,181
You are ready to send
this man to prison,

814
00:40:15,315 --> 00:40:16,716
maybe forever, just like that?

815
00:40:16,850 --> 00:40:18,985
[King] And?

816
00:40:19,119 --> 00:40:20,553
I heard the facts
of the case. Did you?

817
00:40:20,687 --> 00:40:22,722
Yeah, right.
The lawyer didn't prove,

818
00:40:22,856 --> 00:40:25,558
beyond a reasonable doubt,
that he was innocent.

819
00:40:25,692 --> 00:40:27,127
Well, he doesn't have to.

820
00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:29,195
The burden of proof
is on the prosecution.

821
00:40:29,329 --> 00:40:31,598
Does anyone have
even the slightest hesitation

822
00:40:31,731 --> 00:40:33,330
that James Sythe is guilty?

823
00:40:33,166 --> 00:40:36,360
[sighs] I mean...

824
00:40:36,169 --> 00:40:38,171
Look, if you have to think,
you aren't sure.

825
00:40:38,304 --> 00:40:39,673
No.

826
00:40:39,806 --> 00:40:41,574
What I'm sure of is,
I got three kids at home

827
00:40:41,708 --> 00:40:42,742
I got to get back to.

828
00:40:42,876 --> 00:40:44,244
Look, we all have lives.

829
00:40:44,377 --> 00:40:45,345
None of us want to be here.

830
00:40:45,478 --> 00:40:47,414
Okay. Um, how about we...

831
00:40:47,547 --> 00:40:49,849
Why don't you just tell us
what your issue is

832
00:40:49,983 --> 00:40:51,851
or your issues are,

833
00:40:51,985 --> 00:40:53,720
and... and then we can
all talk through it?

834
00:40:53,853 --> 00:40:56,756
Oh, I don't have
an... an issue. Uh...

835
00:40:56,890 --> 00:40:58,525
Okay. So you just like
pissing me off, then?

836
00:40:58,658 --> 00:41:00,593
- Or what?
- [scoffs] No. Look, I...

837
00:41:00,727 --> 00:41:02,280
I have questions.

838
00:41:02,162 --> 00:41:04,864
Nah. That's just
your guilt talking.

839
00:41:06,199 --> 00:41:07,133
What do you mean?

840
00:41:10,704 --> 00:41:13,206
You want to go home
to your little neighborhood

841
00:41:13,340 --> 00:41:14,574
and tell them,

842
00:41:14,708 --> 00:41:16,276
"We did right by that boy.

843
00:41:16,409 --> 00:41:19,612
We gave him a fair shake,
just like anybody else."

844
00:41:19,746 --> 00:41:22,820
Whoa, man. Hold up.
Why're you getting on him
like that?

845
00:41:22,215 --> 00:41:23,249
Hey, mind
your own damn business,

846
00:41:23,383 --> 00:41:24,751
all right, little fella?

847
00:41:24,884 --> 00:41:26,920
- Excuse me?
- That's enough. Both of you.

848
00:41:29,356 --> 00:41:31,591
Please, Mr. Kemp, go on.

849
00:41:31,725 --> 00:41:32,759
Thank you, ma'am.

850
00:41:34,270 --> 00:41:35,462
All I'm trying to say is,

851
00:41:35,595 --> 00:41:36,963
let's put everything else
aside for a minute

852
00:41:37,970 --> 00:41:39,733
and just remember
two key points. Um...

853
00:41:39,866 --> 00:41:42,135
One, Sythe went to trial
instead of taking a plea,

854
00:41:42,268 --> 00:41:45,238
and two, he testified
instead of taking the Fifth.

855
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,741
Right? I mean...

856
00:41:47,874 --> 00:41:49,442
it doesn't mean he's innocent,

857
00:41:49,576 --> 00:41:50,910
but I think he's earned
just a few hours of our time

858
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,612
just to be sure.

859
00:41:52,746 --> 00:41:54,981
Uh, he's right. You're right.

860
00:41:55,115 --> 00:41:57,450
We should take the time
and we should go over it.

861
00:41:57,584 --> 00:42:00,487
Fine. Fine,
but it's a waste of time.

862
00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:02,220
Any other group of 12 people

863
00:42:02,155 --> 00:42:03,590
would arrive at the exact same
decision we did.

864
00:42:03,723 --> 00:42:06,292
[woman 1] Mmm-hmm.
That part right there.

865
00:42:07,827 --> 00:42:10,797
The State has the truth
on its side.

866
00:42:10,930 --> 00:42:13,333
James Sythe is going to pay
for what he did.

867
00:42:13,466 --> 00:42:15,668
And I will get justice
for Kendall Carter

868
00:42:15,802 --> 00:42:19,439
and every woman who is
a victim of domestic abuse.

869
00:42:19,572 --> 00:42:21,241
How do you feel
about the latest polling

870
00:42:21,374 --> 00:42:23,760
that a verdict
in the Sythe trial

871
00:42:23,209 --> 00:42:24,911
carries a five-point swing
in the district attorney race?

872
00:42:25,450 --> 00:42:26,112
Oh, come on. You...

873
00:42:26,246 --> 00:42:28,140
You know I can't
comment on that.

874
00:42:28,148 --> 00:42:29,749
Okay. Thank you, everybody.

875
00:42:36,456 --> 00:42:40,894
So I'm just going to start
with what I think

876
00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:43,396
is the most damning evidence.

877
00:42:43,530 --> 00:42:46,399
Which was the man who saw

878
00:42:46,533 --> 00:42:49,269
Sythe on the road,
at the railing,

879
00:42:49,402 --> 00:42:51,671
directly above where
Kendall Carter's
body was found.

880
00:42:51,805 --> 00:42:53,340
Yes, exactly.

881
00:42:53,473 --> 00:42:54,974
So what's left
to even talk about?

882
00:42:55,108 --> 00:42:56,810
Well, I mean, he was
a few hundred feet away,

883
00:42:56,943 --> 00:42:58,111
looking from across the bridge.

884
00:42:58,244 --> 00:43:00,130
And it was
the middle of the night,

885
00:43:00,146 --> 00:43:01,848
and through pouring rain.

886
00:43:01,981 --> 00:43:03,249
Yeah. And I've actually done

887
00:43:03,383 --> 00:43:04,684
a bunch of landscaping
work up there.

888
00:43:04,818 --> 00:43:06,753
That whole area
is covered by trees.

889
00:43:06,886 --> 00:43:08,221
It'd be hard to see.

890
00:43:08,355 --> 00:43:10,590
The man made
a positive identification.

891
00:43:10,724 --> 00:43:12,992
Yeah, but dude's
kind of ancient, though.

892
00:43:13,126 --> 00:43:14,728
[laughs]

893
00:43:14,861 --> 00:43:18,398
Well, this old bird has
20-20 vision with my glasses.

894
00:43:18,531 --> 00:43:21,134
Come on, y'all.
It's his testimony.
He's not lying.

895
00:43:21,267 --> 00:43:22,902
I mean, why would he lie?

896
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:24,571
And the question here means
that we think he's lying.

897
00:43:24,704 --> 00:43:26,172
I don't think he's lying.

898
00:43:26,306 --> 00:43:27,307
You think he's lying?

899
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:29,900
No, I don't think he's lying--

900
00:43:29,142 --> 00:43:30,143
[woman 1] Okay. So what
the hell are we talking about?

901
00:43:30,276 --> 00:43:31,678
Look, I'm just saying... Okay.

902
00:43:31,811 --> 00:43:33,680
The man, he saw somebody
at the railing, right?

903
00:43:33,813 --> 00:43:34,881
Can we all agree on that?

904
00:43:35,150 --> 00:43:35,915
- Yeah.
- Yes.

905
00:43:36,490 --> 00:43:37,684
Okay. So isn't it possible

906
00:43:37,817 --> 00:43:39,719
- that he saw someone
other than James Sythe?
- Oh!

907
00:43:39,853 --> 00:43:42,222
Mmm-mmm.
No, we can go back and forth
all day on possibilities.

908
00:43:42,355 --> 00:43:43,690
That's not helpful.

909
00:43:43,823 --> 00:43:44,591
- Well, I think we should.
- No, no, no.

910
00:43:44,724 --> 00:43:45,892
No. That's not our job.

911
00:43:46,260 --> 00:43:47,560
Our job is to just
weigh the facts.

912
00:43:48,762 --> 00:43:50,830
[sighs] Okay. Fact.

913
00:43:50,964 --> 00:43:54,334
32% of homicides occur
between domestic partners.

914
00:43:54,467 --> 00:43:56,236
Fact, the police
arrested James Sythe

915
00:43:56,369 --> 00:43:58,380
two days after
they found the body.

916
00:43:58,171 --> 00:44:01,207
Fact, they never questioned
any other suspects.

917
00:44:01,341 --> 00:44:03,176
You watch too much TV,
old man. [scoffs]

918
00:44:03,309 --> 00:44:04,711
[chuckles]

919
00:44:04,844 --> 00:44:07,213
[sighs] Okay.

920
00:44:13,253 --> 00:44:14,421
You're a cop?

921
00:44:16,189 --> 00:44:17,557
I was.

922
00:44:17,691 --> 00:44:19,759
Twenty-two years.
Robbery-homicide.

923
00:44:21,661 --> 00:44:23,797
Finally took the buyout,
came down here to get away

924
00:44:23,930 --> 00:44:25,899
from those brutal
Midwest winters

925
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,600
and be closer to the grandkids.

926
00:44:27,734 --> 00:44:29,602
Why didn't you... Why didn't
you tell the lawyers?

927
00:44:29,736 --> 00:44:31,104
'Cause nobody asked.

928
00:44:31,237 --> 00:44:33,106
How about that.

929
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,575
Well, their loss is our gain.

930
00:44:35,709 --> 00:44:37,577
So what are you
thinking, officer?

931
00:44:37,711 --> 00:44:39,120
Uh, Detective.

932
00:44:39,145 --> 00:44:40,180
Um...

933
00:44:40,313 --> 00:44:41,848
Look, I think...

934
00:44:41,981 --> 00:44:43,516
It seems to me like the police,

935
00:44:43,650 --> 00:44:45,850
you know, followed
the evidence,

936
00:44:45,218 --> 00:44:46,986
found their guy,
built their case.

937
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,890
Okay. So what's wrong
with that?

938
00:44:49,222 --> 00:44:51,157
It may be nothing,
but tunnel vision like that

939
00:44:51,291 --> 00:44:53,590
can really bite you in the ***.

940
00:44:53,193 --> 00:44:55,228
They feed Sythe
to that eyewitness,

941
00:44:55,362 --> 00:44:57,464
so, of course,
that's who he IDs.

942
00:44:57,597 --> 00:44:59,332
Now they're sure
they got their guy,

943
00:44:59,466 --> 00:45:01,735
so they just ignore anything
that doesn't help their case.

944
00:45:01,868 --> 00:45:04,404
They stop asking questions.

945
00:45:04,537 --> 00:45:05,905
Confirmation bias.

946
00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:07,874
Yeah, confirmation bias.
Exactly.

947
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:09,420
Confirmation bias.

948
00:45:09,175 --> 00:45:10,944
There's no bad intentions.

949
00:45:11,770 --> 00:45:13,680
It's just a bunch of people
trying to do the right thing,

950
00:45:13,813 --> 00:45:17,170
and they can't see everything
they're doing wrong.

951
00:45:17,150 --> 00:45:19,386
It's a good point.

952
00:45:19,519 --> 00:45:22,989
And what about this blunt
instrument murder weapon

953
00:45:23,123 --> 00:45:24,624
they kept talking about?

954
00:45:24,758 --> 00:45:27,360
The prosecutor said
they couldn't recover it.

955
00:45:27,494 --> 00:45:29,662
So he got rid of it.
That's easy to do.

956
00:45:29,796 --> 00:45:31,164
Or he could have killed her

957
00:45:31,297 --> 00:45:33,933
with something other
than a blunt instrument.

958
00:45:34,670 --> 00:45:35,101
Like what?

959
00:45:36,636 --> 00:45:38,872
Like a car?

960
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:40,340
It could have been
a hit-and-run.

961
00:45:42,442 --> 00:45:43,743
[Justin] Oh, shit.

962
00:45:43,877 --> 00:45:45,145
- Here. Let me help.
- I'm sorry. Sorry.

963
00:45:45,278 --> 00:45:46,460
- It got in your pants.
- It's all right.

964
00:45:46,179 --> 00:45:47,414
You know, that's...

965
00:45:47,547 --> 00:45:49,649
That's a really, really
good theory.

966
00:45:49,783 --> 00:45:51,418
- Hit-and-run.
- [Robinson] Yeah.

967
00:45:51,551 --> 00:45:52,752
I mean, it's raining,
it's night.

968
00:45:52,886 --> 00:45:54,654
Visibility's
got to be terrible.

969
00:45:54,788 --> 00:45:57,357
Well, we know it was slippery,
from that hiker's testimony.

970
00:45:57,490 --> 00:46:00,193
Wandering around
in the dark in heels?

971
00:46:00,326 --> 00:46:02,529
Kids today...

972
00:46:02,662 --> 00:46:06,800
Um, it explains how she could
have ended up in a creek.

973
00:46:06,933 --> 00:46:08,735
[jurors] Mmm-hmm.

974
00:46:08,868 --> 00:46:12,105
Okay. So, Sythe mowed her down
instead of bashing her head in?

975
00:46:12,238 --> 00:46:13,573
What are we talking about here?

976
00:46:13,707 --> 00:46:14,874
What difference does it make?

977
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,410
The guy is a piece of shit.

978
00:46:17,544 --> 00:46:21,715
Look, my gut is telling me
that that kid is not a killer.

979
00:46:21,848 --> 00:46:24,250
- Okay. The other day,
you voted guilty.
- [woman] Mmm-hmm.

980
00:46:24,384 --> 00:46:26,219
No. No, I never said guilty.

981
00:46:26,353 --> 00:46:29,222
I said, he should have
taken a plea bargain.

982
00:46:29,356 --> 00:46:30,990
He's got a weak case.

983
00:46:31,124 --> 00:46:32,859
[woman] Well, maybe there's
a reason for that.

984
00:46:32,992 --> 00:46:35,695
[Chicowski] Yeah. It's called
a public defender.

985
00:46:35,829 --> 00:46:36,930
I mean,
nothing against this guy.

986
00:46:37,630 --> 00:46:38,331
He seems pretty smart,

987
00:46:38,465 --> 00:46:41,201
but... the PDs
are working 10 times

988
00:46:41,334 --> 00:46:44,771
the caseload of the DA's office
on a fraction of the budget.

989
00:46:44,904 --> 00:46:46,406
It's just not a fair fight.

990
00:46:46,539 --> 00:46:48,875
Yeah, well, nothing is anymore.

991
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:50,577
We'll just do the best we can.

992
00:46:50,710 --> 00:46:51,711
I hear you.

993
00:46:53,380 --> 00:46:55,382
And I got 22 years
on the street,

994
00:46:55,515 --> 00:46:57,250
that is telling me

995
00:46:57,384 --> 00:46:59,953
there's a lot more
to this case than we know.

996
00:47:00,860 --> 00:47:02,589
All right. Then, if you were
still a detective,

997
00:47:02,722 --> 00:47:03,757
what would you do?

998
00:47:03,890 --> 00:47:05,959
Yeah.

999
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:08,728
All right, y'all.
That's it for today.

1000
00:47:08,862 --> 00:47:12,766
See you back here at 9:00 a.m.
Monday morning.

1001
00:47:12,899 --> 00:47:15,235
Oh! And I almost forgot.
Happy Halloween.

1002
00:47:15,368 --> 00:47:17,137
[jurors] Happy Halloween!

1003
00:47:19,439 --> 00:47:20,407
Hey!

1004
00:47:20,540 --> 00:47:22,475
Yeah, it has been a minute.

1005
00:47:22,609 --> 00:47:24,744
But I was hoping
you could do me a solid.

1006
00:47:25,879 --> 00:47:26,846
Hang on a sec.

1007
00:47:29,282 --> 00:47:30,784
[engine starts]

1008
00:47:32,218 --> 00:47:33,386
Yeah, I'm here.

1014
00:47:59,790 --> 00:48:00,246
- No decision yet.
- [sighs]

1015
00:48:00,380 --> 00:48:01,648
We're breaking for the weekend.

1016
00:48:01,781 --> 00:48:03,350
You're kidding.

1017
00:48:03,483 --> 00:48:05,185
You never know what
a dozen strangers are gonna do.

1018
00:48:05,318 --> 00:48:07,253
Clearly. Okay. Well,
thanks for letting me know.

1019
00:48:07,387 --> 00:48:08,655
- See you Monday.
- Mmm-hmm.

1020
00:48:08,788 --> 00:48:10,690
- Trick or treat!
- Yeah. Have a good one.

1021

Hey, hon.

1027
00:49:18,580 --> 00:49:21,940
Yeah, I'm heading back
to the shop right now.

1028
00:49:21,928 --> 00:49:22,929
Okay.

[engine starts]

00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:54,661
Hey.

1031
00:49:54,794 --> 00:49:56,596
- Hi.
- Did you get my text?

1032
00:49:59,990 --> 00:50:00,266
Oh, shit.

1033
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:01,601
Sorry.

1034
00:50:02,602 --> 00:50:04,270
I'm sorry, I forgot.

1035
00:50:05,238 --> 00:50:06,539
Does everything look okay?

1036
00:50:08,942 --> 00:50:09,943
Are you okay?

1037
00:50:16,282 --> 00:50:17,917
Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?

1038
00:50:18,510 --> 00:50:19,520
I'm scared.

1039
00:50:21,540 --> 00:50:23,623
I'm scared. We didn't make it
this far last time, and...

1040
00:50:24,290 --> 00:50:25,258
I'm just scared.

1041
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:28,428
I don't want to be
doing this alone.

1042
00:50:28,561 --> 00:50:29,996
I don't want to go
to these things alone.

1043
00:50:31,297 --> 00:50:32,866
It's going to be okay.

1044
00:50:32,999 --> 00:50:34,434
[stammers] It's going
to be all right, I promise.

1045
00:50:34,567 --> 00:50:35,402
I don't understand why
you weren't there today.

1046
00:50:38,938 --> 00:50:41,775
How much longer is the trial
going to go on for?

1047
00:50:41,908 --> 00:50:44,911
[sighs] I have no idea.

1048
00:50:45,450 --> 00:50:47,180
- It's...
- Are you close to a verdict?

1049
00:50:47,313 --> 00:50:48,815
I'm not supposed
to discuss the case--

1050
00:50:48,948 --> 00:50:50,617
Justin, are you close
to a verdict?

1051
00:50:50,750 --> 00:50:53,653
Well, it's ten to two
for guilty.

1052
00:50:55,755 --> 00:50:57,190
So then, Monday,

1053
00:50:57,323 --> 00:50:59,125
can you just go in
and sway the two holdouts

1054
00:50:59,259 --> 00:51:00,960
and then be done with this?

1055
00:51:01,940 --> 00:51:03,997
Well, I'm one of them. I...

1056
00:51:05,799 --> 00:51:07,600
- Why?
- I'm sorry,

1057
00:51:07,734 --> 00:51:09,350
but they took
one look at this guy,
and that was it.

1058
00:51:09,169 --> 00:51:10,937
No discussion of
the evidence, nothing.

1059
00:51:11,710 --> 00:51:12,105
I had to do something.

1060
00:51:15,342 --> 00:51:16,943
Everyone deserves
a chance, right?

1061
00:51:18,778 --> 00:51:21,147
I keep thinking where I'd be
if you hadn't given me one.

1062
00:51:26,653 --> 00:51:28,355
[stammers] Can I ask
you something?

1063
00:51:28,488 --> 00:51:30,190
[sighs]

1064
00:51:30,323 --> 00:51:32,859
Yeah, sure. What?

1065
00:51:32,992 --> 00:51:35,161
If I were to sell the 4Runner
without telling someone

1066
00:51:35,295 --> 00:51:37,300
it was in a wreck,

1067
00:51:37,163 --> 00:51:38,832
but they're happy with the deal
and there's no safety risks.

1068
00:51:38,965 --> 00:51:40,800
- It was in the ad, Justin.
- I know, I know,

1069
00:51:40,934 --> 00:51:42,135
but just go with me.

1070
00:51:42,268 --> 00:51:44,204
If they're never the wiser,

1071
00:51:44,337 --> 00:51:46,473
then did I do anything wrong?

1072
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:48,800
No.

1073
00:51:49,175 --> 00:51:50,543
I mean, I don't think so.

1074
00:51:52,145 --> 00:51:53,146
Yeah.

1075
00:51:55,815 --> 00:51:56,916
I'm going upstairs.

1076
00:51:57,500 --> 00:51:59,190
[melancholy music playing]

1077
00:51:59,986 --> 00:52:01,221
Food's in the fridge.

1078
00:52:01,354 --> 00:52:02,622
See you upstairs.

1079
00:52:09,396 --> 00:52:10,530
[sighs]

1080
00:52:29,115 --> 00:52:31,818
There she is.
Next round's on her.

1081
00:52:31,951 --> 00:52:33,887
Bourbon. Neat. And...

1082
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:35,288
yeah, whatever he's having.

1083
00:52:35,422 --> 00:52:38,825
What I'm having?
What I'm having is a...

1084
00:52:38,958 --> 00:52:40,930
- Thank you.
- ...great evening.

1085
00:52:40,226 --> 00:52:41,695
Isn't it a beautiful evening?

1086
00:52:41,828 --> 00:52:43,763
It should have been
a two-hour verdict.

1087
00:52:43,897 --> 00:52:46,320
What can I tell you?
They're taking
their job seriously.

1088
00:52:46,166 --> 00:52:47,567
I gave them a lot
to think about.

1089
00:52:47,701 --> 00:52:50,700
Mmm. I got a mountain
of evidence.

1090
00:52:50,203 --> 00:52:51,805
You gave them
smoke and mirrors.

1091
00:52:51,938 --> 00:52:53,406
Where there's smoke,
there's fire.

1092
00:52:53,540 --> 00:52:57,444
[laughs] I admire
your optimism.

1093
00:52:57,577 --> 00:52:59,145
Look, here's the thing.
You walk into court

1094
00:52:59,279 --> 00:53:02,982
convinced of the guilt
of the defendant. Me, I...

1095
00:53:03,116 --> 00:53:04,517
I have no illusions
about what I do.

1096
00:53:04,651 --> 00:53:06,319
A lot of my clients are guilty,

1097
00:53:06,453 --> 00:53:09,289
and my job is to help make
the best of a bad situation.

1098
00:53:09,422 --> 00:53:11,324
But I'm telling you...

1099
00:53:11,458 --> 00:53:13,426
I'm telling you,
this guy didn't do it.

1100
00:53:16,396 --> 00:53:19,799
And the fact that the jury's
taking a little time

1101
00:53:19,933 --> 00:53:21,468
gives me hope
that things are working

1102
00:53:21,601 --> 00:53:22,836
the way they should.

1103
00:53:24,404 --> 00:53:28,274
Well... you enjoy that
while it lasts.

1104
00:53:31,444 --> 00:53:34,314
To the justice system.

1105
00:53:34,447 --> 00:53:37,450
It ain't perfect,
but it's the best we got.

1106
00:53:47,927 --> 00:53:49,262
- Hey.
- Hey.

1107
00:53:49,396 --> 00:53:51,197
I'm sorry again
about yesterday.

1108
00:53:51,331 --> 00:53:52,799
It's just that case
wearing on me.

1109
00:53:53,833 --> 00:53:55,350
I know. I can tell.

1110
00:53:55,168 --> 00:53:56,970
- Yeah.
- Trust your gut.

1111
00:53:57,103 --> 00:53:58,538
You'll do the right thing.

1112
00:53:58,672 --> 00:54:00,730
- [doorbell rings]
- Oh! Oh, Oh, wait.

1113
00:54:00,206 --> 00:54:01,408
- [kids laughing]
- Wait, wait, wait.

1114
00:54:05,645 --> 00:54:07,580
- What's that?
- It's my pitchfork.

1115
00:54:07,714 --> 00:54:09,349
- Nice!
- Yeah. Thanks.

1116
00:54:09,482 --> 00:54:10,750
- [laughs]
- Homemade.

1117
00:54:13,453 --> 00:54:15,722
- [kids] Trick or treat!
- Hey! Happy Halloween!

1118
00:54:15,855 --> 00:54:18,458
I love your costumes!
Take two, everyone.

1119
00:54:20,593 --> 00:54:21,494
Oliver?

1120
00:54:21,628 --> 00:54:23,229
Hey, Ms. Crewson.

1121
00:54:23,363 --> 00:54:26,166
Oliver, I didn't even
recognize you! How are you?

1122
00:54:26,299 --> 00:54:27,734
I'm good. Hi, Mr. Kemp.

1123
00:54:27,867 --> 00:54:29,369
Hey, how's the writing going?

1124
00:54:29,502 --> 00:54:31,204
- I'm on student paper now.
- No way. That's awesome.

1125
00:54:31,338 --> 00:54:32,706
- That's very cool.
- Congrats.

1126
00:54:32,839 --> 00:54:34,341
- Hey, have fun tonight.
- [Oliver] We will.

1127
00:54:34,474 --> 00:54:35,608
See you back at school?

1128
00:54:35,742 --> 00:54:37,177
- Yeah. Next year.
- [Oliver] Okay.

1129
00:54:37,310 --> 00:54:38,611
Well, bye.

1130
00:54:38,745 --> 00:54:40,347
- Bye!
- Keep it up!

1131
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,449
- God, he's a giant.
- I know.

1132
00:54:42,582 --> 00:54:44,500
Happy Halloween.

1133
00:54:49,189 --> 00:54:50,190
Thanks.

1134
00:55:02,602 --> 00:55:04,700
- Hey.
- Hey.

1135
00:55:04,204 --> 00:55:06,906
Why'd you follow me
after court on Friday?

1136
00:55:07,400 --> 00:55:09,109
I picked your tail up,
like, halfway out of
the parking lot.

1137
00:55:09,242 --> 00:55:11,911
I mean, green Toyota
4Runner, right?

1138
00:55:12,450 --> 00:55:14,470
Uh, yeah, well, you're...

1139
00:55:14,180 --> 00:55:15,448
you're not allowed
to investigate the case

1140
00:55:15,582 --> 00:55:16,783
outside the jury room.

1141
00:55:17,751 --> 00:55:19,786
Yeah. Yeah, I know.

1142
00:55:19,919 --> 00:55:23,390
But... I mean,
somebody's got to.

1143
00:55:23,523 --> 00:55:24,891
Don't you want to know
what really happened?

1144
00:55:25,250 --> 00:55:26,726
Yeah. Of course.

1145
00:55:27,660 --> 00:55:29,295
Look, I, uh...

1146
00:55:29,429 --> 00:55:30,397
I did some digging.

1147
00:55:32,465 --> 00:55:34,267
This is every registered car
in the county

1148
00:55:34,401 --> 00:55:35,902
that was in for body work

1149
00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:37,604
between October 26th
and the end of last year.

1150
00:55:37,737 --> 00:55:39,172
You're still about
the hit-and-run?
Come on, it's--

1151
00:55:39,305 --> 00:55:41,740
Yeah, because that's
a really good theory.

1152
00:55:41,207 --> 00:55:43,843
Now, the automakers
keep a detailed list

1153
00:55:43,977 --> 00:55:46,880
of these repairs
strictly for R and D purposes.

1154
00:55:47,130 --> 00:55:49,315
They collect it
from the dealers pro forma

1155
00:55:49,449 --> 00:55:51,618
and then pay the mom-and-pop
shops under the table.

1156
00:55:51,751 --> 00:55:53,530
My partner and I
recovered more cars

1157
00:55:53,186 --> 00:55:54,654
than an impound this way.

1158
00:55:54,788 --> 00:55:57,570
Right. But there must be
hundreds of cars in there.

1159
00:55:57,190 --> 00:55:59,590
Yeah, so process
of elimination,

1160
00:55:59,192 --> 00:56:01,895
which is what I spent
my whole weekend doing.

1161
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,431
I mean, anything there's
already a police report for,

1162
00:56:04,564 --> 00:56:05,498
crossed off the list.

1163
00:56:05,632 --> 00:56:07,367
Mmm.

1164
00:56:07,500 --> 00:56:08,935
And there's only going to be
a very specific kind of damage

1165
00:56:09,690 --> 00:56:10,360
with this kind of hit-and-run.

1166
00:56:10,170 --> 00:56:13,273
So a headlight, grille, hood.

1167
00:56:13,406 --> 00:56:15,875
- Yeah.
- I narrowed it down
to 15 vehicles

1168
00:56:16,900 --> 00:56:17,977
that match that description
on this list,

1169
00:56:18,111 --> 00:56:19,446
one of which, by the way,

1170
00:56:19,579 --> 00:56:22,582
a '96 Toyota 4Runner,
Forest Green.

1171
00:56:22,716 --> 00:56:25,318
I mean, that's the exact
same car as yours, right?

1172
00:56:25,452 --> 00:56:26,686
I mean, if that is your car,

1173
00:56:26,820 --> 00:56:28,822
we can just cross it
off the list.

1174
00:56:28,955 --> 00:56:32,258
Right. Yeah.
So what's the plan?

1175
00:56:32,392 --> 00:56:34,461
Well, if you
don't mind helping,

1176
00:56:34,594 --> 00:56:36,290
there's only so many
hours in the day,

1177
00:56:36,162 --> 00:56:37,530
and we got to spend
most of them here.

1178
00:56:37,664 --> 00:56:38,898
So you want to help me
with the legwork,

1179
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:40,500
and see if we can find our guy.

1180
00:56:40,633 --> 00:56:43,690
Yeah. Okay. You know,
you're reaching, but...

1181
00:56:43,203 --> 00:56:44,637
Look, I...
It's a hit-and-run, kid.

1182
00:56:44,771 --> 00:56:46,172
I feel it in my bones.

1183
00:56:46,306 --> 00:56:48,375
Dollars to doughnuts,
our guy is on this list.

1184
00:56:48,508 --> 00:56:52,278
[bailiff] Oh, good morning.
Party time, y'all, let's go.

1185
00:56:54,814 --> 00:56:56,216
Fellas, wrap it up.

1186
00:56:56,349 --> 00:56:57,550
Thanks.

1187
00:57:00,420 --> 00:57:01,454
[bailiff] Let's go.

1188
00:57:03,823 --> 00:57:04,758
God damn it!

1189
00:57:04,891 --> 00:57:06,926
[grunts] Hmm.

1190
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:08,495
Everything all right over here?

1191
00:57:08,628 --> 00:57:09,929
[Justin] Mmm?

1192
00:57:10,630 --> 00:57:11,264
[bailiff] Y'all working
my nerve today.

1193
00:57:13,133 --> 00:57:14,367
What is all this?

1194
00:57:19,139 --> 00:57:21,374
Just... You two, wait for me.

1195
00:57:23,710 --> 00:57:26,913
Read instruction
0.01 for me, please.

1196
00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:32,419
Uh...

1197
00:57:32,552 --> 00:57:33,887
"To maintain the integrity
of the jury system,

1198
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:35,855
I remind you that you must
decide this case

1199
00:57:35,989 --> 00:57:38,240
based only on the evidence
admitted during the trial

1200
00:57:38,158 --> 00:57:40,126
and the law
I will explain to you.

1201
00:57:40,260 --> 00:57:41,795
You may not conduct
any research

1202
00:57:41,928 --> 00:57:43,697
on your own about this case

1203
00:57:43,830 --> 00:57:46,466
or about any people or places
mentioned during the trial."

1204
00:57:46,599 --> 00:57:48,201
Sounds to me
like you two violated

1205
00:57:48,334 --> 00:57:49,903
every sentence
of that paragraph.

1206
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:51,304
Your Honor,
I move for a mistrial.

1207
00:57:51,438 --> 00:57:53,600
He's a former cop.

1208
00:57:53,139 --> 00:57:54,607
Who knows what ideas
he put in the jury's heads.

1209
00:57:54,741 --> 00:57:56,543
Failure to elicit
his previous employment

1210
00:57:56,676 --> 00:57:59,546
during voir dire
is on you, Mr. Resnick.

1211
00:57:59,679 --> 00:58:01,247
[Eric] It's misconduct.

1212
00:58:01,381 --> 00:58:02,949
Kick him off, Judge.
There's no need to start over.

1213
00:58:03,830 --> 00:58:05,452
Our resources are already
stretched so thin.

1214
00:58:08,521 --> 00:58:10,323
She's right. Motion denied.

1215
00:58:10,457 --> 00:58:11,891
Your Honor. You know...

1216
00:58:12,692 --> 00:58:13,960
As for you two...

1217
00:58:16,629 --> 00:58:18,398
You violated
your oath as jurors.

1218
00:58:21,670 --> 00:58:22,569
Your Honor...

1219
00:58:22,702 --> 00:58:24,104
if I may. I, uh...

1220
00:58:24,237 --> 00:58:26,639
I upheld the oath I took
as a police officer

1221
00:58:26,773 --> 00:58:28,742
to never betray my character,

1222
00:58:28,875 --> 00:58:31,277
my integrity,
or the public trust.

1223
00:58:36,850 --> 00:58:38,952
Mr. Chicowski, [sighs]

1224
00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:41,187
you are hereby removed
from Jury Service.

1225
00:58:43,123 --> 00:58:44,124
On account of your background,

1226
00:58:44,257 --> 00:58:45,592
I'm going to make an exception

1227
00:58:45,725 --> 00:58:48,328
and not find you
in contempt of court.

1228
00:58:49,662 --> 00:58:50,964
Thank you, Your Honor.

1229
00:58:52,432 --> 00:58:54,100
So Mr. Kemp,

1230
00:58:54,234 --> 00:58:56,302
you are not a retired
law enforcement officer,
are you?

1231
00:58:56,436 --> 00:58:58,138
No. No, Your Honor.

1232
00:58:58,271 --> 00:58:59,639
So how do you explain

1233
00:58:59,773 --> 00:59:03,576
your involvement
in this transgression?

1234
00:59:03,710 --> 00:59:06,279
I obtained those documents
on my own, Your Honor.

1235
00:59:06,413 --> 00:59:08,314
He didn't have anything
to do with it.

1236
00:59:09,449 --> 00:59:10,650
Is that true?

1237
00:59:10,784 --> 00:59:12,118
Mmm.

1238
00:59:12,252 --> 00:59:13,820
I mean, did you look
at these documents

1239
00:59:13,953 --> 00:59:15,555
or help to procure them

1240
00:59:15,689 --> 00:59:18,158
or know what Mr. Chicowski
was intending to do?

1241
00:59:18,291 --> 00:59:20,627
No, Your Honor.
I did not look at them

1242
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:21,895
and I didn't help.

1243
00:59:24,300 --> 00:59:26,166
So do you think
that you can disregard

1244
00:59:26,299 --> 00:59:28,134
everything that
you heard just now

1245
00:59:28,268 --> 00:59:30,670
and remain an unbiased
member of this panel?

1246
00:59:30,804 --> 00:59:32,105
Yes, I can.

1247
00:59:33,807 --> 00:59:36,109
I'm going to take you
at your word.

1248
00:59:36,242 --> 00:59:39,779
Bailiff, please escort Mr. Kemp
back to the juror room.

1249
00:59:41,381 --> 00:59:45,352
Mr. Chicowski,
you are dismissed.

1250
00:59:45,485 --> 00:59:47,387
Your Honor, I would ask
that a copy of these documents

1251
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:48,922
be made part
of the court's records

1252
00:59:49,550 --> 00:59:50,256
for purposes of appeal.

1253
00:59:50,390 --> 00:59:52,559
And again,
I move for a mistrial.

1254
00:59:52,692 --> 00:59:55,829
The documents will be marked
as court's Exhibit One.

1255
00:59:55,962 --> 01:00:00,660
Your motion for a mistrial
is denied, Mr. Resnick.

1256
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,669
Is that understood?

1257
01:00:02,802 --> 01:00:05,472
Yes, Your Honor.
It's understood.

1258
01:00:05,605 --> 01:00:08,141
Good. Then we are done here.

1259
01:00:16,549 --> 01:00:18,385
- You got to be kidding me.
- What?

1260
01:00:18,518 --> 01:00:20,553
"Our resources
are stretched so thin"?

1261
01:00:21,588 --> 01:00:22,689
You are something.

1262
01:00:26,526 --> 01:00:27,527
Okay.

1263
01:00:29,662 --> 01:00:30,697
[sighs]

1264
01:00:34,667 --> 01:00:36,690
Counselor.

1265
01:00:36,202 --> 01:00:37,270
Hey, it's okay.
I'm not on the jury anymore.

1266
01:00:37,404 --> 01:00:38,538
- You don't have to...
- Yeah.

1267
01:00:38,672 --> 01:00:40,173
Yeah, made sure of that.

1268
01:00:40,974 --> 01:00:42,800
[sighs]

1269
01:00:43,176 --> 01:00:44,377
Feeling the pressure, huh?

1270
01:00:45,278 --> 01:00:47,647
In this job? Nah.

1271
01:00:47,781 --> 01:00:50,817
- [both chuckle]
- Yeah. Okay.

1272
01:00:58,458 --> 01:00:59,926
Hey, I'm...
Sorry, but I just...

1273
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:02,620
I can't not say this. You...

1274
01:01:03,697 --> 01:01:06,990
[sighs] You got this case
all wrong.

1275
01:01:07,167 --> 01:01:09,350
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

1276
01:01:09,169 --> 01:01:10,303
It's a hit-and-run.

1277
01:01:10,437 --> 01:01:12,706
No way.
ME would have flagged it.

1278
01:01:12,839 --> 01:01:15,800
Well, yeah, you'd think.

1279
01:01:15,141 --> 01:01:17,410
That guy did
five autopsies that day.

1280
01:01:17,544 --> 01:01:19,646
One day. I checked.

1281
01:01:19,779 --> 01:01:21,147
Doesn't mean anything.

1282
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,288
Let me just ask you one thing.

1283
01:01:28,421 --> 01:01:30,657
Did you guys ever look
at any other suspect?

1284
01:01:32,692 --> 01:01:34,894
We did our job.

1285
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:36,963
All due respect, Counselor,
if you'd have done your job,

1286
01:01:37,970 --> 01:01:38,631
I don't think we'd be
standing here right now.

1287
01:01:38,765 --> 01:01:40,667
Well, that guy is bad news.

1288
01:01:43,103 --> 01:01:44,104
Maybe.

1289
01:01:46,473 --> 01:01:47,941
But he didn't kill that girl.

1290
01:01:51,311 --> 01:01:53,146
[pensive music playing]

1291
01:02:04,891 --> 01:02:06,192
[bailiff] All right.
So with that being said,

1292
01:02:06,326 --> 01:02:08,528
Judge Stewart thanks you
for your patience

1293
01:02:08,661 --> 01:02:11,197
and apologizes
for any inconvenience.

1294
01:02:11,331 --> 01:02:14,667
Juror number 13 is now
a voting member of this panel.

1295
01:02:15,301 --> 01:02:16,469
Okay.

1296
01:02:16,603 --> 01:02:18,371
I'll let you guys
get back to it.

1297
01:02:22,420 --> 01:02:23,810
So what happened?

1298
01:02:23,943 --> 01:02:26,790
What was this misconduct?

1299
01:02:26,212 --> 01:02:28,140
Uh, that's between
him and the judge.

1300
01:02:28,148 --> 01:02:30,316
Bullshit. You were there.

1301
01:02:30,450 --> 01:02:31,751
What did Harold do?

1302
01:02:33,319 --> 01:02:36,456
He was investigating
the case on his own.

1303
01:02:36,589 --> 01:02:37,624
The judge sent him home.

1304
01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:40,527
What about
that stack of papers?

1305
01:02:40,660 --> 01:02:41,661
What papers?

1306
01:02:41,795 --> 01:02:43,463
The ones Harold gave to him.

1307
01:02:43,596 --> 01:02:45,331
You dropped them
all over the floor.
We all saw it.

1308
01:02:45,465 --> 01:02:48,568
The bailiff was on us before
I looked at the papers, so...

1309
01:02:48,702 --> 01:02:50,670
You were talking
for quite a while.

1310
01:02:50,804 --> 01:02:52,672
Did he tell you
what was in them?

1311
01:02:54,674 --> 01:02:56,509
Okay, yes, he did. It...

1312
01:02:56,643 --> 01:02:59,612
It was a printout.
Names, vehicle registrations...

1313
01:02:59,746 --> 01:03:02,382
He said that it could prove

1314
01:03:02,515 --> 01:03:03,516
James Sythe's innocence.

1315
01:03:03,650 --> 01:03:05,652
- [all murmuring]
- So what?

1316
01:03:05,785 --> 01:03:06,986
Are we just supposed
to believe you now

1317
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,321
and change our vote?

1318
01:03:08,455 --> 01:03:09,556
No, I'm just telling you
what I know.

1319
01:03:11,658 --> 01:03:13,326
He thinks it was a hit-and-run.

1320
01:03:45,925 --> 01:03:49,290
So if he thinks
it was a hit-and-run...

1321
01:03:53,466 --> 01:03:55,168
Kendall was 5'5".

1322
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,272
If she was hunched over,

1323
01:03:59,406 --> 01:04:02,509
and the car was
an SUV or a truck,

1324
01:04:02,642 --> 01:04:04,177
she could have easily
have been hit

1325
01:04:04,310 --> 01:04:06,146
smack across
the head and torso.

1326
01:04:08,581 --> 01:04:11,117
Look at the way
her shoulders are fractured.

1327
01:04:11,251 --> 01:04:13,386
Well, I'm sorry,
but are you a doctor?

1328
01:04:14,721 --> 01:04:17,424
Not yet.
Third-year med student.

1329
01:04:17,557 --> 01:04:19,920
I... I mean,

1330
01:04:19,225 --> 01:04:20,894
I think we should leave
that to the professionals,

1331
01:04:21,270 --> 01:04:22,796
the medical examiner who,
you know, examined the body.

1332
01:04:22,929 --> 01:04:25,598
Well, I mean,
doctors can be careless.

1333
01:04:25,732 --> 01:04:27,834
One time they told my dad
he was having a heart attack.

1334
01:04:27,967 --> 01:04:29,869
Turned out it was just gas.

1335
01:04:30,300 --> 01:04:32,539
[chuckles] They're always
in such a rush.

1336
01:04:32,672 --> 01:04:34,541
Go ahead, dear.
Speak your mind.

1337
01:04:38,611 --> 01:04:42,349
The right and left clavicle
both show a very clean break.

1338
01:04:42,482 --> 01:04:43,817
Can you pass this around?

1339
01:04:45,652 --> 01:04:47,200
She couldn't get that
from the fall?

1340
01:04:48,540 --> 01:04:49,689
It's not likely.

1341
01:04:49,823 --> 01:04:54,494
Both bones had to be broken
by a single,

1342
01:04:54,627 --> 01:04:57,130
sharp, posterior impact.

1343
01:04:58,698 --> 01:05:00,567
Pow.

1344
01:05:00,700 --> 01:05:03,670
Do we know if Sythe's car
had any damage?

1345
01:05:05,338 --> 01:05:06,639
No. The police
would have noted it

1346
01:05:06,773 --> 01:05:08,108
in their report if it did.

1347
01:05:08,241 --> 01:05:09,542
Not if they thought
it was irrelevant.

1348
01:05:09,676 --> 01:05:11,711
[scoffs] Cops hate paperwork.

1349
01:05:11,845 --> 01:05:13,546
So you're some kind
of secret cop now, too?

1350
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,160
[laughs] No. I'm a dog groomer,

1351
01:05:16,149 --> 01:05:18,852
but I watch and listen
to a lot of true crime,

1352
01:05:18,985 --> 01:05:20,887
and the first rule
is the husband did it.

1353
01:05:21,921 --> 01:05:23,356
Okay, well,

1354
01:05:23,490 --> 01:05:25,358
husband, boyfriend.
Same difference.

1355
01:05:25,492 --> 01:05:26,993
You agree
that he's guilty, right?

1356
01:05:27,127 --> 01:05:28,261
He is the perfect suspect.

1357
01:05:28,395 --> 01:05:29,662
[King] All right. Thank you.

1358
01:05:29,796 --> 01:05:31,970
But the second rule
of true crime

1359
01:05:31,231 --> 01:05:33,500
is that it's never
the perfect suspect.

1360
01:05:34,334 --> 01:05:35,668
Oh, my God.

1361
01:05:35,802 --> 01:05:38,505
I'm just sharing with you
my experiences.

1362
01:05:38,638 --> 01:05:41,675
Your experiences?
Listening to crime podcasts.

1363
01:05:41,808 --> 01:05:43,643
Well, hold on.
And watching Dateline.

1364
01:05:43,777 --> 01:05:46,246
Okay. Well, that doesn't
make you Sherlock Holmes.

1365
01:05:46,379 --> 01:05:47,747
Oh, thank you. [laughs]

1366
01:05:47,881 --> 01:05:49,816
No, you burn
through enough cases,

1367
01:05:49,949 --> 01:05:52,519
and you start to see
certain patterns.

1368
01:05:52,652 --> 01:05:54,587
But I leave the detective work
to the forum lawyers.

1369
01:05:54,721 --> 01:05:56,189
Okay, good. Good.

1370
01:05:56,322 --> 01:05:57,857
Because we're not here
to solve a mystery, okay?

1371
01:05:57,991 --> 01:05:59,959
All we're here to do
is decide if we're positive

1372
01:06:00,930 --> 01:06:02,896
James Sythe killed
Kendall Carter. That's it.

1373
01:06:03,290 --> 01:06:03,963
- [woman 2] May I?
- Oh.

1374
01:06:04,970 --> 01:06:05,980
[med student] I'm not.

1375
01:06:07,670 --> 01:06:09,869
Old Quarry Road
feeds into the highway.

1376
01:06:10,300 --> 01:06:12,739
When traffic's heavy,
GPS will send you that way.

1377
01:06:12,872 --> 01:06:14,240
It gets busy.

1378
01:06:14,374 --> 01:06:16,743
Yeah, and at night,
I mean, it's gnarly.

1379
01:06:16,876 --> 01:06:19,346
I nearly mowed down
a deer once.

1380
01:06:19,479 --> 01:06:20,914
[man] What if that's what
they thought?

1381
01:06:21,848 --> 01:06:23,160
[Aldworth] Who thought?

1382
01:06:25,218 --> 01:06:26,720
Whoever hit Kendall Carter.

1383
01:06:29,255 --> 01:06:30,957
Yeah, man. I mean,
that all makes sense,

1384
01:06:31,910 --> 01:06:33,293
but, you know, what about
our eyewitness?

1385
01:06:35,195 --> 01:06:36,629
Maybe he saw someone else?

1386
01:06:36,763 --> 01:06:38,231
Okay, hold up. Wait a minute.

1387
01:06:38,365 --> 01:06:40,433
Y'all got way too many
"maybes" for my liking.

1388
01:06:40,567 --> 01:06:43,536
Yeah, and too many maybes
is reasonable doubt.

1389
01:06:43,670 --> 01:06:44,738
[man] I agree with Justin.

1390
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:47,730
Yeah.

1391
01:06:48,942 --> 01:06:50,377
Okay. Keiko?

1392
01:06:54,781 --> 01:06:55,782
Nellie?

1393
01:06:57,617 --> 01:07:01,121
I'm not sure any more that
this young man is guilty.

1394
01:07:01,254 --> 01:07:03,289
Right. Okay. Anyone else?

1395
01:07:04,657 --> 01:07:05,592
Not guilty.

1396
01:07:06,126 --> 01:07:07,660
Okay.

1397
01:07:07,794 --> 01:07:09,863
[suspenseful music playing]

1398
01:07:14,670 --> 01:07:15,435
[sighs softly]

1399
01:07:15,568 --> 01:07:17,737
[man grunting]

1400
01:07:17,871 --> 01:07:21,441
I fell asleep on Highway 17
and woke up in a ditch.

1401
01:07:21,574 --> 01:07:23,760
Thank God the hospital
was close.

1402
01:07:24,611 --> 01:07:27,130
Hmm. Okay.

1403
01:07:28,982 --> 01:07:30,216
Thank you for your time.

1404
01:07:30,350 --> 01:07:32,552
[man] Yep.

1405
01:07:32,686 --> 01:07:34,854
Yeah, we were street racing
down Greek Row.

1406
01:07:34,988 --> 01:07:36,156
It was dumb. I know.

1407
01:07:42,429 --> 01:07:43,463
[chuckles softly]

1408
01:07:46,660 --> 01:07:47,100
[sighs]

1409
01:08:04,184 --> 01:08:05,185
Guilty.

1410
01:08:07,530 --> 01:08:08,540
Guilty.

1411
01:08:11,524 --> 01:08:12,659
Not guilty.

1412
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:16,162
Not guilty.

1413
01:08:19,766 --> 01:08:20,734
Guilty.

1414
01:08:22,469 --> 01:08:24,871
All right. It looks like
we're six to six.

1415
01:08:25,805 --> 01:08:27,140
We're deadlocked.

1416
01:08:27,273 --> 01:08:28,808
Okay, so what do we do now?

1417
01:08:28,942 --> 01:08:31,711
Feels like the more we talk,
the less we know.

1418
01:08:31,845 --> 01:08:34,247
I'm so tired.

1419
01:08:34,381 --> 01:08:37,117
You're so stoned, dear.

1420
01:08:37,250 --> 01:08:38,918
- [mouthing]
- Let's go back
to the beginning.

1421
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:40,920
Build a case piece by piece.

1422
01:08:41,540 --> 01:08:44,900
No, no. Let's stop
wasting our damn time.

1423
01:08:44,224 --> 01:08:47,600
How about we all just
take a breath. It's...

1424
01:08:47,193 --> 01:08:48,695
It's been a long day,
but, you know, votes...

1425
01:08:48,828 --> 01:08:49,929
votes have changed, right?

1426
01:08:50,630 --> 01:08:51,464
The process is working.

1427
01:08:51,598 --> 01:08:54,300
[woman] No, it's not.
You are wearing us down.

1428
01:08:54,434 --> 01:08:57,203
Talking a lot,
but saying nothing.

1429
01:08:57,337 --> 01:08:59,572
I mean, hell, you go over
anything enough times,

1430
01:08:59,706 --> 01:09:01,207
yeah, we'll start
to question it.

1431
01:09:01,341 --> 01:09:03,610
Yeah. Like which shoes to wear.

1432
01:09:03,743 --> 01:09:06,120
Yeah. Look... [sighs]

1433
01:09:06,146 --> 01:09:08,882
We got all these theories,
y'all, but no new evidence.

1434
01:09:09,150 --> 01:09:10,617
Well, yeah, but those
theories are making

1435
01:09:10,750 --> 01:09:12,519
some of us question
James Sythe's guilt.

1436
01:09:12,652 --> 01:09:15,288
No. No, no. You can
question it all you want,

1437
01:09:15,422 --> 01:09:17,557
but I know he's guilty.

1438
01:09:19,250 --> 01:09:20,593
Just look at his damn neck.

1439
01:09:22,529 --> 01:09:24,297
Hey, my man. I know you
got a picture of him

1440
01:09:24,431 --> 01:09:25,432
in that book of yours.

1441
01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,704
I mean, yeah,
but it's not perfect, but...

1442
01:09:32,500 --> 01:09:34,174
Yes. See? Right there.

1443
01:09:34,307 --> 01:09:36,276
Snake and a crown.

1444
01:09:36,409 --> 01:09:37,911
That's the West Side Crowns.

1445
01:09:38,440 --> 01:09:40,613
They're the biggest
drug pushers in the city.

1446
01:09:40,747 --> 01:09:41,981
How do you know that?

1447
01:09:42,115 --> 01:09:44,317
Because I run
the Boys and Girls Club.

1448
01:09:44,451 --> 01:09:47,454
These guys are poisoning
their own community.

1449
01:09:50,590 --> 01:09:51,791
This case is personal to you.

1450
01:09:51,925 --> 01:09:53,259
Yeah, well, you're
damn right it is.

1451
01:09:57,970 --> 01:10:00,600
My little brother was 14

1452
01:10:00,734 --> 01:10:02,100
when he got inked.

1453
01:10:04,604 --> 01:10:08,740
A month before
his 17th birthday,
he was dead.

1454
01:10:08,208 --> 01:10:09,943
Caught a stray bullet
in some...

1455
01:10:11,111 --> 01:10:13,747
tit-for-tat turf bullshit.

1456
01:10:16,149 --> 01:10:18,284
I'm sorry. I had no idea.

1457
01:10:18,418 --> 01:10:21,154
Yeah, that's right.
You have no idea.

1458
01:10:24,657 --> 01:10:29,763
Look, Sythe did say
that he left that life behind.

1459
01:10:29,896 --> 01:10:31,865
There's only one way
to leave that crew.

1460
01:10:33,967 --> 01:10:35,335
So...

1461
01:10:35,468 --> 01:10:38,471
You can keep talking
about your theories.

1462
01:10:38,605 --> 01:10:40,173
Look, people can change.

1463
01:10:40,306 --> 01:10:41,508
[King] Yeah.
Keep telling yourself that.

1464
01:10:41,641 --> 01:10:42,809
I... I do. Every day.

1465
01:10:42,942 --> 01:10:44,811
Well, I drive a bus,

1466
01:10:44,944 --> 01:10:46,713
and I see the same people
day in and day out,

1467
01:10:46,846 --> 01:10:48,181
and they do not change.

1468
01:10:48,314 --> 01:10:50,684
Well, then how
am I sitting here?

1469
01:10:50,817 --> 01:10:51,851
What are you talking about?

1470
01:10:51,985 --> 01:10:52,986
I should be dead.

1471
01:10:54,540 --> 01:10:54,988
I should...

1472
01:10:56,289 --> 01:10:58,425
A little over four years ago,

1473
01:10:58,558 --> 01:10:59,859
I wrapped my car around a tree

1474
01:10:59,993 --> 01:11:01,928
with a blood alcohol
level that,

1475
01:11:02,620 --> 01:11:03,396
you know, probably
should have killed me

1476
01:11:03,530 --> 01:11:04,698
before I even got in the car

1477
01:11:04,831 --> 01:11:07,367
and somehow... [clears throat]

1478
01:11:07,534 --> 01:11:08,902
walked away
with barely a scratch.

1479
01:11:09,350 --> 01:11:10,403
[King] Mmm. Lucky you.

1480
01:11:10,537 --> 01:11:12,305
[Justin] Yeah. Yeah,
part of my sentence

1481
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:13,907
was community service.

1482
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:15,208
I spent three days a week
in an elementary school

1483
01:11:15,342 --> 01:11:17,310
teaching kids how to write.

1484
01:11:17,444 --> 01:11:21,470
Uh... Alcoholics,
we can charm anybody.

1485
01:11:21,181 --> 01:11:23,683
But the teacher
I was reporting to,

1486
01:11:23,817 --> 01:11:25,510
I mean, she was Teflon.

1487
01:11:25,185 --> 01:11:27,153
She saw right through me.

1488
01:11:27,287 --> 01:11:28,855
And she...

1489
01:11:28,988 --> 01:11:31,591
She made me finally want to,
you know, own my shit

1490
01:11:31,725 --> 01:11:34,494
and just take
responsibility for myself.

1491
01:11:36,830 --> 01:11:37,797
I'm... [clears throat]

1492
01:11:37,931 --> 01:11:39,299
I'm still not sure what I did

1493
01:11:39,432 --> 01:11:40,867
to get a woman like her
to give me a chance.

1494
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,704
But her belief
and believing in myself,

1495
01:11:44,838 --> 01:11:47,140
that I could change,
that was...

1496
01:11:47,273 --> 01:11:49,242
That was, you know,
the first step.

1497
01:11:50,276 --> 01:11:51,711
And...

1498
01:11:51,845 --> 01:11:53,246
Look, the, uh...

1499
01:11:53,380 --> 01:11:55,648
the journey never ends,
I know that...

1500
01:11:55,782 --> 01:11:56,883
But...

1501
01:11:58,218 --> 01:11:59,119
that's...

1502
01:12:00,286 --> 01:12:01,921
that's four years.

1503
01:12:02,550 --> 01:12:04,991
And am I the same man
that I was four years ago? No.

1504
01:12:05,892 --> 01:12:07,160
Absolutely not.

1505
01:12:07,293 --> 01:12:08,762
Yeah, well...

1506
01:12:08,895 --> 01:12:10,597
Now I can see... [chuckles]

1507
01:12:11,765 --> 01:12:12,866
You changed.

1508
01:12:14,340 --> 01:12:15,902
But guys like James Sythe,

1509
01:12:16,770 --> 01:12:18,438
they don't change.

1510
01:12:18,571 --> 01:12:20,807
Okay. Think back
to his testimony.

1511
01:12:20,940 --> 01:12:24,644
That was raw and real,
and I believed it.

1512
01:12:24,778 --> 01:12:26,746
Wait, hold on, gang.

1513
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,815
If Sythe didn't do it,
then who did?

1514
01:12:28,948 --> 01:12:30,917
We don't have to answer that.

1515
01:12:31,510 --> 01:12:32,719
So no one's going to pay for
what happened to that girl?

1516
01:12:32,852 --> 01:12:35,221
- No, someone will pay.
- How do you know that?

1517
01:12:35,355 --> 01:12:36,823
Because somebody
always does. Look...

1518
01:12:36,956 --> 01:12:38,291
Look, I get how you feel,

1519
01:12:38,425 --> 01:12:41,940
but you can't let
your feelings sway you.

1520
01:12:41,227 --> 01:12:42,796
You don't know
anything about me, man.

1521
01:12:42,929 --> 01:12:43,997
All right.

1522
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,135
How... how old's your daughter?

1523
01:12:49,269 --> 01:12:50,704
That's her
on the key chain, right?

1524
01:12:53,573 --> 01:12:55,275
Yeah. She, um...

1525
01:12:55,408 --> 01:12:57,510
She turned 16 in March.

1526
01:12:57,644 --> 01:12:58,945
How often do you
get to see her?

1527
01:13:01,481 --> 01:13:03,183
Not often enough.

1528
01:13:03,316 --> 01:13:05,885
You know, during the trial,
I was sat

1529
01:13:06,190 --> 01:13:07,620
right in Kendall's
parents' eyeline.

1530
01:13:07,754 --> 01:13:08,822
I could see...

1531
01:13:10,423 --> 01:13:12,125
I mean, their pain each day.

1532
01:13:12,258 --> 01:13:14,494
And, you know, what if
she were your daughter?

1533
01:13:15,428 --> 01:13:16,763
[stammers]

1534
01:13:16,896 --> 01:13:18,765
You want justice, right?
An eye for an eye.

1535
01:13:18,898 --> 01:13:20,633
Right. Yeah.

1536
01:13:20,767 --> 01:13:22,469
But then James Sythe's family
was in court each day, too.

1537
01:13:22,602 --> 01:13:24,104
You know, his grandma
and his niece.

1538
01:13:24,237 --> 01:13:25,939
Uh...

1539
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:28,800
What if he were
your son, right?

1540
01:13:29,609 --> 01:13:31,110
Wouldn't you want justice
for him, too?

1541
01:13:33,446 --> 01:13:35,882
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose, I would.

1542
01:13:37,317 --> 01:13:38,451
[Robinson sighs]

1543
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:49,362
[suspenseful music playing]

1544
01:14:14,521 --> 01:14:15,522
[engine roars]

1545
01:14:15,655 --> 01:14:16,723
[sighs]

1546
01:14:24,164 --> 01:14:26,166
So how can I help you?

1547
01:14:26,299 --> 01:14:27,667
Well, I just want
to have a little chat

1548
01:14:27,801 --> 01:14:29,690
about what happened here.

1549
01:14:29,202 --> 01:14:30,737
Just have a little one on one.

1550
01:14:30,870 --> 01:14:32,238
Maybe I could get
some more information

1551
01:14:32,372 --> 01:14:35,508
if something came to you
new, you know?

1552
01:14:35,642 --> 01:14:39,446
Well, like I said at the trial,
the police come by.

1553
01:14:39,579 --> 01:14:41,470
Showed me a picture,

1554
01:14:41,181 --> 01:14:42,716
asked me if he was the man
I saw that night.

1555
01:14:42,849 --> 01:14:45,251
Mmm. They show you
any other pictures?

1556
01:14:45,385 --> 01:14:47,870
Oh, no. They knew it was him.

1557
01:14:47,220 --> 01:14:49,823
They... They just needed me
to confirm it.

1558
01:14:49,956 --> 01:14:51,124
Right.

1559
01:14:52,125 --> 01:14:53,393
I was happy to do so.

1560
01:14:53,526 --> 01:14:56,329
I mean, everyone
was so generous.

1561
01:14:56,463 --> 01:14:59,332
And if I could say so,
it felt pretty good

1562
01:14:59,466 --> 01:15:01,835
- to be needed again.
- Mmm.

1563
01:15:02,602 --> 01:15:04,337
I'm sure it did.

1564
01:15:04,471 --> 01:15:06,473
All right. Well,
if there's anything else
I can do for you,

1565
01:15:06,606 --> 01:15:08,842
just give a holler.
Tea is always hot.

1566
01:15:08,975 --> 01:15:10,310
[chuckles] Okay.
Thank you so much.

1567
01:15:10,443 --> 01:15:11,411
Thanks for your time, sir.

1568
01:15:11,544 --> 01:15:12,912
Uh, James Sythe...

1569
01:15:15,749 --> 01:15:18,510
He did kill that girl, right?

1570
01:15:22,789 --> 01:15:24,900
[exhales]

1571
01:15:26,693 --> 01:15:29,662
Okay, so does anybody else
want to change their vote?

1572
01:15:29,796 --> 01:15:31,231
[chuckles]

1573
01:15:32,980 --> 01:15:33,466
Uh, well...

1574
01:15:35,268 --> 01:15:36,302
It doesn't matter anyway.

1575
01:15:36,436 --> 01:15:38,171
[Aldworth] What do you mean?

1576
01:15:38,304 --> 01:15:40,774
Because I haven't
changed my mind.

1577
01:15:40,907 --> 01:15:42,108
All right, well,
let's just keep talking.

1578
01:15:42,242 --> 01:15:45,345
No, no, I'm done talking.

1579
01:15:46,460 --> 01:15:47,480
Marcus.

1580
01:15:47,614 --> 01:15:50,650
So what? You're gonna
tell the judge, we...

1581
01:15:50,784 --> 01:15:52,819
we can't reach a verdict?

1582
01:15:52,952 --> 01:15:54,621
[woman] It is what it is.

1583
01:15:54,754 --> 01:15:56,456
But we're actually
making progress.

1584
01:15:56,589 --> 01:15:59,526
- [scoffs] Progress?
- Yeah.

1585
01:15:59,659 --> 01:16:01,895
How can we continue if we
can't even reach a verdict?

1586
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,631
We've been at this for
I don't even know how long.

1587
01:16:05,432 --> 01:16:06,700
My kids need me.

1588
01:16:08,501 --> 01:16:10,170
I'm just trying
to do my job here.

1589
01:16:11,304 --> 01:16:13,840
Okay? Um...

1590
01:16:13,973 --> 01:16:15,909
Courtney, what about you?
Do you want to keep going?

1591
01:16:16,420 --> 01:16:18,645
I don't know.
Look, he yelled at her.

1592
01:16:18,778 --> 01:16:21,448
He grabbed her arm.
He called her a *****.

1593
01:16:21,581 --> 01:16:23,683
He was possessive
and temperamental.

1594
01:16:23,817 --> 01:16:26,686
No, he was abusive. Screw him.

1595
01:16:27,921 --> 01:16:29,656
Yeah. You're right.

1596
01:16:30,457 --> 01:16:31,758
Screw him.

1597
01:16:31,925 --> 01:16:33,727
Great. [chuckles]
For the third time,

1598
01:16:33,860 --> 01:16:35,128
I get to go home
and tell my husband,

1599
01:16:35,261 --> 01:16:36,196
"Guess what, honey?

1600
01:16:36,329 --> 01:16:38,631
[laughs] I did nothing."

1601
01:16:38,765 --> 01:16:40,800
He gets a real kick
out of that.

1602
01:16:40,934 --> 01:16:43,200
I'm sorry, Denice.
I'm not changing my vote.

1603
01:16:43,870 --> 01:16:45,372
Neither am I.

1604
01:16:45,505 --> 01:16:47,507
Yeah. Me, too.

1605
01:16:52,245 --> 01:16:53,513
[man] So what do we do then?

1606
01:16:54,180 --> 01:16:55,181
Um...

1607
01:16:56,649 --> 01:16:58,418
there's one thing we could try.

1608
01:16:59,853 --> 01:17:02,455
[sighs] Madam Foreperson.

1609
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,260
Sending a jury
to visit a crime scene

1610
01:17:06,159 --> 01:17:07,560
once deliberations have begun

1611
01:17:07,694 --> 01:17:10,960
is not something
I would typically allow.

1612
01:17:10,230 --> 01:17:11,598
With all due respect,
Your Honor,

1613
01:17:11,731 --> 01:17:14,567
this has not been
a typical deliberation.

1614
01:17:14,701 --> 01:17:16,403
But I do think
it will be beneficial

1615
01:17:16,536 --> 01:17:18,204
in helping us reach a verdict.

1616
01:17:18,338 --> 01:17:19,239
I see.

1617
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:23,376
Mr. Resnick. Any objections?

1618
01:17:24,411 --> 01:17:25,745
No, Your Honor.

1619
01:17:25,879 --> 01:17:27,113
Okay, Miss Killebrew?

1620
01:17:29,149 --> 01:17:30,850
The State's fine with it.

1621
01:17:30,984 --> 01:17:32,180
All right, then.

1622
01:17:32,919 --> 01:17:35,422
Here are the rules.

1623
01:17:35,555 --> 01:17:37,924
During your visit,
you are not to speak

1624
01:17:38,580 --> 01:17:39,893
to anyone outside
of your jury panel,

1625
01:17:40,260 --> 01:17:44,597
nor are you to speak to
each other about this case.

1626
01:17:44,731 --> 01:17:46,633
All right, you are there
to view the locations

1627
01:17:46,766 --> 01:17:49,769
in and around where
the crime took place.

1628
01:17:49,903 --> 01:17:54,441
And you are not to collect
evidence of any kind.

1629
01:17:54,574 --> 01:17:56,810
Does everyone
understand these rules?

1630
01:17:56,943 --> 01:17:58,845
- Yes, ma'am.
- [jurors] Yes, Your Honor.

1631
01:17:58,978 --> 01:18:00,130
All right, then.

1632
01:18:01,314 --> 01:18:02,582
This court is adjourned.

1633
01:18:04,751 --> 01:18:06,519
Hey. Hey. Can... Can we talk?

1634
01:18:08,488 --> 01:18:10,490
Yeah, great. Great.
I'll see you there. Thanks.

1635
01:18:12,125 --> 01:18:13,326
[knock at door]

1636
01:18:16,396 --> 01:18:17,931
[knocks at door]

1637
01:18:26,539 --> 01:18:27,941
Hello?

1638
01:18:28,740 --> 01:18:30,510
Oh, hey, are you
Allison Crewson?

1639
01:18:30,643 --> 01:18:32,345
Yes, I am. Yeah. Who are you?

1640
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,800
I'm, um... I'm Faith Killebrew.

1641
01:18:34,247 --> 01:18:36,816
I'm a prosecutor with
the District Attorney's office.

1642
01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:39,190
Do you mind if we talk?

1643
01:18:39,152 --> 01:18:40,954
I was just about to lay down,
but what is this about?

1644
01:18:41,870 --> 01:18:43,256
It'll only be a minute.

1645
01:18:43,390 --> 01:18:45,191
- Okay. Come in.
- Okay. Thank you.

1646
01:18:51,598 --> 01:18:53,330
Uh, I'm sorry
for the intrusion.

1647
01:18:53,166 --> 01:18:54,901
I won't be long.

1648
01:18:55,350 --> 01:18:56,836
I'm following up on a...

1649
01:18:56,970 --> 01:18:59,339
on a few different accidents
from October last year,

1650
01:18:59,472 --> 01:19:01,341
just doing routine checks
on any cars

1651
01:19:01,508 --> 01:19:04,177
that were serviced
for major body damage
around that time.

1652
01:19:04,310 --> 01:19:05,412
Okay.

1653
01:19:05,545 --> 01:19:07,380
So on October 25th last year,

1654
01:19:07,514 --> 01:19:10,984
did you own a 1996
green Toyota 4Runner?

1655
01:19:11,117 --> 01:19:12,652
Yes.

1656
01:19:12,786 --> 01:19:14,540
Mmm-hmm. And do you remember
having any body work

1657
01:19:14,187 --> 01:19:16,556
- done on it around that time?
- Yeah.

1658
01:19:16,690 --> 01:19:19,693
Okay. And how was
your car damaged?

1659
01:19:19,826 --> 01:19:21,561
My husband, Justin, hit a deer.

1660
01:19:21,695 --> 01:19:23,329
Okay. Any idea where?

1661
01:19:24,464 --> 01:19:25,999
Up on Brimstone Pass.

1662
01:19:26,866 --> 01:19:27,967
You sure?

1663
01:19:28,101 --> 01:19:30,970
[laughs] Yeah.

1664
01:19:31,104 --> 01:19:33,139
Could it have been
Old Quarry Road? Or...

1665
01:19:34,708 --> 01:19:36,409
No, it was Brimstone Pass.

1666
01:19:37,977 --> 01:19:38,978
You're positive.

1667
01:19:40,460 --> 01:19:41,214
Positive.

1668
01:19:43,216 --> 01:19:45,752
Okay. Great.
Well, that's all I have.

1669
01:19:47,687 --> 01:19:50,223
Thank you very much
for your time, Mrs. Crewson.

1670
01:19:50,357 --> 01:19:52,826
And, uh, congratulations.
When are you due?

1671
01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:55,395
Uh...

1672
01:19:55,528 --> 01:19:56,763
Yeah, any day now.

1673
01:19:56,896 --> 01:19:58,231
[laughs] Well,
good luck with that.

1674
01:19:58,365 --> 01:20:00,330
You want me to do anything
before I go?

1675
01:20:00,166 --> 01:20:01,534
- No, no. No.
- Okay. Well, I'll just
see myself out.

1676
01:20:01,668 --> 01:20:02,936
- No. I'll get you...
- No, you stay there.

1677
01:20:03,103 --> 01:20:04,904
- Okay, all right.
- No, it's good. [laughs]

1678
01:20:05,380 --> 01:20:05,905
- Have a good one.
- Thank you.
Thanks for your time.

1679
01:20:06,390 --> 01:20:06,573
- Bye.
- Bye, now.

1680
01:20:07,374 --> 01:20:08,308
[door closes]

1681
01:20:08,441 --> 01:20:10,110
[tense music playing]

1682
01:20:23,390 --> 01:20:25,225
[bell ringing]

1683
01:20:28,495 --> 01:20:30,730
Hey. Sorry I couldn't
meet you earlier.

1684
01:20:30,864 --> 01:20:32,532
- No worries.
- What's on your mind?

1685
01:20:32,665 --> 01:20:33,600
The trial.

1686
01:20:33,733 --> 01:20:35,568
Well, yeah, I figured.

1687
01:20:35,702 --> 01:20:37,270
It's headed for a hung jury.

1688
01:20:37,404 --> 01:20:38,438
[man] Justin!

1689
01:20:39,372 --> 01:20:41,307
- Thanks.
- Enjoy.

1690
01:20:41,441 --> 01:20:43,910
- I got you a coffee.
- Thanks.

1691
01:20:44,770 --> 01:20:45,879
Obviously, I want
to acquit the guy,

1692
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,381
but if the jury hangs,
it's a mistrial, right?

1693
01:20:48,515 --> 01:20:50,884
- That's right.
- So problem solved.

1694
01:20:51,170 --> 01:20:52,819
Well, given all the press
on this case,

1695
01:20:52,952 --> 01:20:55,550
the public's going
to demand a retrial.

1696
01:20:55,188 --> 01:20:57,390
We're just gonna have to do it
all over again with Sythe.

1697
01:20:57,524 --> 01:20:59,359
Unless the District Attorney's
office decides

1698
01:20:59,492 --> 01:21:02,962
that he's not the guy,
then they'll find the guy.

1699
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,298
And there's no way that this
case ends without a verdict.

1700
01:21:05,432 --> 01:21:07,834
Once they get that,
then, yeah, it's over.
Then it's done.

1701
01:21:07,967 --> 01:21:09,803
So you're saying
I need a verdict?

1702
01:21:10,503 --> 01:21:11,671
I'm afraid so.

1703
01:21:26,453 --> 01:21:27,620
[sighs]

1704
01:21:28,988 --> 01:21:31,240
Hey, can you meet me at County?

1705
01:21:51,811 --> 01:21:52,679
[Allison] Hey.

1706
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:56,490
Hey. Everything okay?

1707
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,320
Just checking the car.
Might have a buyer.

1708
01:22:06,726 --> 01:22:08,194
Where'd you hit
that deer again?

1709
01:22:10,330 --> 01:22:12,432
Up on Brimstone Pass, right?

1710
01:22:14,340 --> 01:22:14,901
Mmm.

1711
01:22:16,736 --> 01:22:18,672
Are you sure that
it wasn't Old Quarry Road?

1712
01:22:19,906 --> 01:22:21,207
I'm positive.

1713
01:22:22,142 --> 01:22:23,109
That's...

1714
01:22:23,910 --> 01:22:25,945
Just that's ex...

1715
01:22:26,790 --> 01:22:28,515
"Positive," that's what
I said to the...

1716
01:22:28,648 --> 01:22:30,216
prosecutor from your trial

1717
01:22:30,350 --> 01:22:32,552
when she just interrogated me
in our living room.

1718
01:22:33,787 --> 01:22:35,880
- What? She was here.
- Yeah.

1719
01:22:36,990 --> 01:22:38,892
I looked her up.
She wanted to know about
your accident.

1720
01:22:40,493 --> 01:22:41,494
That--

1721
01:22:43,196 --> 01:22:44,597
What'd you tell her?

1722
01:22:44,731 --> 01:22:45,699
The truth.

1723
01:22:48,301 --> 01:22:49,369
That you hit a deer

1724
01:22:50,336 --> 01:22:51,671
up on Brimstone Pass.

1725
01:22:53,139 --> 01:22:55,108
Okay. Good.

1726
01:22:56,743 --> 01:22:57,877
That is the truth, right?

1727
01:23:00,380 --> 01:23:02,480
Did you take the shortcut...

1728
01:23:02,215 --> 01:23:03,750
home through
Old Quarry that night?

1729
01:23:05,952 --> 01:23:07,887
Did you stop
at Rowdy's Hideaway?

1730
01:23:12,125 --> 01:23:13,159
[Allison sighs]

1731
01:23:19,299 --> 01:23:20,333
Did you drink?

1732
01:23:21,968 --> 01:23:23,200
[sighs softly]

1733
01:23:28,975 --> 01:23:29,976
Did you?

1734
01:23:31,945 --> 01:23:34,140
Justin. Did you drink?

1735
01:23:35,548 --> 01:23:38,840
- Talk to me.
- No, no, I didn't drink.

1736
01:23:38,218 --> 01:23:40,220
I didn't drink. Okay? I...

1737
01:23:43,456 --> 01:23:45,125
I stopped and I [stammering]...

1738
01:23:45,258 --> 01:23:46,793
I ordered the drink,
but I didn't touch it.

1739
01:23:46,926 --> 01:23:48,828
Ordered, but didn't drink.
Why would I believe that?

1740
01:23:48,962 --> 01:23:50,663
- Because that's the truth.
I promise. I swear.
- You swear?

1741
01:23:50,797 --> 01:23:52,465
Why should I believe that?
Why should I believe anything

1742
01:23:52,632 --> 01:23:53,900
- that you're saying anymore?
- I promise. I swear to you.

1743
01:23:54,340 --> 01:23:55,135
- I swear to you.
- You swear to me?

1744
01:23:55,268 --> 01:23:56,169
- I swear.
- Don't lie to me.

1745
01:23:56,302 --> 01:23:57,303
I'm not lying. I promise.

1746
01:23:57,437 --> 01:23:59,239
I promise. That is the truth.

1747
01:23:59,372 --> 01:24:00,173
Okay?

1748
01:24:01,541 --> 01:24:02,575
Look, it...

1749
01:24:04,444 --> 01:24:05,445
It...

1750
01:24:07,347 --> 01:24:09,683
It was the twins' due date
and I couldn't deal

1751
01:24:09,816 --> 01:24:10,817
with the feelings
that I was having.

1752
01:24:10,984 --> 01:24:12,686
I couldn't deal with them,

1753
01:24:12,819 --> 01:24:14,454
so I didn't want to bring them
home and put them on you.

1754
01:24:15,188 --> 01:24:16,456
So I went there.

1755
01:24:16,589 --> 01:24:18,191
I sat there for a while,
and then I...

1756
01:24:18,324 --> 01:24:20,126
and then I came home.

1757
01:24:20,260 --> 01:24:22,328
[voice shaking] Why didn't
you tell me any of this?

1758
01:24:22,462 --> 01:24:24,130
Why did you keep this from me?

1759
01:24:24,264 --> 01:24:25,331
- I wanted... I wanted to.
- You could've talked to me.

1760
01:24:25,465 --> 01:24:26,566
But you were in so much pain.

1761
01:24:26,700 --> 01:24:28,968
Of course I was in pain.

1762
01:24:29,102 --> 01:24:30,704
I kept thinking that I was
somehow responsible,

1763
01:24:30,837 --> 01:24:32,205
that it was my fault,
that it's still my...

1764
01:24:32,339 --> 01:24:33,740
No. No. It was not your fault.

1765
01:24:33,873 --> 01:24:35,208
- They were my babies.
- It's not... It's not...

1766
01:24:35,342 --> 01:24:36,976
- They were our babies.
- I know.

1767
01:24:37,110 --> 01:24:40,130
None... None... None of this
is your fault, okay?

1768
01:24:40,146 --> 01:24:42,215
We were both hurting.
It still hurts.

1769
01:24:44,751 --> 01:24:45,852
I'm still hurting.

1770
01:24:49,956 --> 01:24:50,857
Me, too.

1771
01:24:52,592 --> 01:24:54,600
Yeah. Yeah.

1772
01:24:58,465 --> 01:25:00,660
[sighs]

1773
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,469
I'm not doing this alone.

1774
01:25:02,602 --> 01:25:04,504
No, you're not. You're not.

1775
01:25:04,637 --> 01:25:05,839
You are not.

1776
01:25:05,972 --> 01:25:08,875
I will protect our family.
I will.

1777
01:25:11,770 --> 01:25:12,512
I promise. Okay?

1778
01:25:15,749 --> 01:25:17,684
Hey, come here. Come here.

1779
01:25:18,918 --> 01:25:20,200
[sighs]

1780
01:25:33,767 --> 01:25:35,680
What the hell is going on?

1781
01:25:35,201 --> 01:25:37,103
- Ugh, I need to see him.
- Why?

1782
01:25:37,237 --> 01:25:38,438
I need him
to look me in the eye

1783
01:25:38,571 --> 01:25:39,739
and tell me he didn't do it.

1784
01:25:41,675 --> 01:25:42,742
So you're having doubts?

1785
01:25:42,876 --> 01:25:43,910
I'm right. You're doubting it?

1786
01:25:44,440 --> 01:25:45,912
I... I don't know.

1787
01:25:46,460 --> 01:25:47,547
What do you mean
you don't know?

1788
01:25:47,681 --> 01:25:48,915
Come on. You know
something isn't right here.

1789
01:25:49,490 --> 01:25:51,170
The jury knows it. It's just...

1790
01:25:51,151 --> 01:25:52,886
Can you prove
that's what happened?

1791
01:25:53,190 --> 01:25:55,221
Can you prove it didn't?
Can you?

1792
01:25:55,355 --> 01:25:57,290
[Faith] I don't know.
Just get me in there.

1793
01:26:01,194 --> 01:26:02,429
[door buzzes]

1794
01:26:08,735 --> 01:26:09,936
[door slams]

1795
01:26:13,730 --> 01:26:14,140
What are you doing here?

1796
01:26:15,942 --> 01:26:16,910
Have a seat.

1797
01:26:18,611 --> 01:26:19,779
I shouldn't be talking to you.

1798
01:26:20,814 --> 01:26:21,781
It's okay.

1799
01:26:28,121 --> 01:26:29,289
What do you want?

1800
01:26:30,590 --> 01:26:32,525
Same thing as you.

1801
01:26:32,659 --> 01:26:34,127
Justice for Kendall Carter.

1802
01:26:34,260 --> 01:26:36,162
So go find the son of a *****
who did it.

1803
01:26:38,832 --> 01:26:40,500
Look, there's no jury,

1804
01:26:40,633 --> 01:26:43,169
no judge, no cameras.
So just...

1805
01:26:43,303 --> 01:26:44,604
tell me what happened
that night.

1806
01:26:44,738 --> 01:26:46,740
I told you. I went home.

1807
01:26:48,908 --> 01:26:50,877
Right, but first, you...

1808
01:26:51,440 --> 01:26:53,790
you followed her, right?

1809
01:26:54,247 --> 01:26:55,615
Yeah. I mean, she was wasted.

1810
01:26:56,983 --> 01:26:58,985
Oh, no. So you felt angry

1811
01:26:59,119 --> 01:27:01,121
and, I don't know,
sick of being played?

1812
01:27:01,287 --> 01:27:03,623
No, no, that wasn't it. Okay?

1813
01:27:04,958 --> 01:27:06,760
It's just how Kenny was.

1814
01:27:06,893 --> 01:27:08,928
She'd get all worked up,
you know, talk this big game,

1815
01:27:09,620 --> 01:27:11,664
and the next day,
it'd be like nothing happened.

1816
01:27:11,798 --> 01:27:13,366
So she just needed
to chill out.

1817
01:27:14,434 --> 01:27:15,435
Right.

1818
01:27:16,836 --> 01:27:17,871
Yes, okay, I...

1819
01:27:19,372 --> 01:27:22,509
I know our relationship
wasn't perfect.

1820
01:27:24,678 --> 01:27:25,912
But we did love each other.

1821
01:27:28,982 --> 01:27:30,717
Now, listen, lady...

1822
01:27:30,850 --> 01:27:33,319
I've done a lot of things
in my life

1823
01:27:33,453 --> 01:27:34,587
that I'm not proud of.

1824
01:27:36,623 --> 01:27:39,250
But I didn't do this.

1825
01:27:43,363 --> 01:27:44,464
The biggest regret...

1826
01:27:46,266 --> 01:27:47,367
of my life...

1827
01:27:49,369 --> 01:27:50,637
is that I didn't
go after Kendall

1828
01:27:50,770 --> 01:27:52,500
in my car that night.

1829
01:27:53,940 --> 01:27:54,974
Because if I did...

1830
01:27:56,876 --> 01:27:58,311
Kenny would still be alive.

1831
01:28:01,648 --> 01:28:02,482
I'm done.

1832
01:28:04,984 --> 01:28:05,985
[bangs door]

1833
01:28:15,362 --> 01:28:16,396
[door closes]

1834
01:28:18,431 --> 01:28:20,233
[bailiff] All right, everybody,
on the bus. Let's go.

1835
01:28:23,737 --> 01:28:24,738
[laughing]

1836
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:35,281
[Courtney laughs]

1837
01:28:37,951 --> 01:28:39,519
[snoring]

1838
01:28:57,437 --> 01:28:59,806
Ah. Look, but don't touch.

1839
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:01,875
Put it back.

1840
01:29:10,417 --> 01:29:12,419
[country music playing
on speakers]

1841
01:30:01,601 --> 01:30:03,937
[bailiff] Okay, y'all.
You ready to go?

1842
01:30:04,104 --> 01:30:06,172
[music fades]

1843
01:30:27,627 --> 01:30:29,596
[tense music playing]

1844
01:30:36,369 --> 01:30:38,438
So this is where they fought.

1845
01:31:42,902 --> 01:31:44,270
Hey, you all right?

1846
01:31:45,605 --> 01:31:47,700
Yeah. I'm fine, thanks.

1847
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:48,641
Nah, man.

1848
01:31:50,410 --> 01:31:52,112
You haven't been fine
since the start.

1849
01:31:54,547 --> 01:31:56,583
I think you've been playing us
this whole time.

1850
01:31:58,510 --> 01:31:58,985
I don't know what you mean.

1851
01:32:01,454 --> 01:32:03,123
The day you got
on the jury, you were...

1852
01:32:04,524 --> 01:32:07,260
puking in the bathroom.

1853
01:32:07,394 --> 01:32:09,996
All that stuff
with the Flower Man cop
and those papers.

1854
01:32:12,198 --> 01:32:13,266
You claim to be
the voice of reason,

1855
01:32:13,433 --> 01:32:15,680
but you're really just...

1856
01:32:15,201 --> 01:32:16,503
telling us
what we want to hear.

1857
01:32:16,636 --> 01:32:18,138
[clinks]

1858
01:32:25,478 --> 01:32:26,880
Now, I don't know
what game you're playing, man,

1859
01:32:27,130 --> 01:32:28,114
but I see you.

1860
01:32:31,751 --> 01:32:34,220
Do I know exactly
what happened that night?

1861
01:32:34,354 --> 01:32:35,789
No.

1862
01:32:35,922 --> 01:32:37,891
But neither do you.

1863
01:32:39,359 --> 01:32:41,728
And you can't be any more sure

1864
01:32:41,861 --> 01:32:44,230
that James Sythe got in his car

1865
01:32:44,364 --> 01:32:47,300
and drove home that night
than I'm sure he...

1866
01:32:49,135 --> 01:32:50,870
picked up one of these rocks

1867
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:52,839
and bashed
that poor girl's head in.

1868
01:32:54,507 --> 01:32:56,900
And threw her body
in the creek.

1869
01:33:02,482 --> 01:33:04,551
Jesus, man.

1870
01:33:04,684 --> 01:33:06,786
- You nearly slipped.
- Yeah. [clears throat]

1871
01:33:12,250 --> 01:33:14,494
Maybe that hiker was right.

1872
01:33:14,627 --> 01:33:16,896
- Could have slipped.
- Yeah, maybe. Maybe.

1873
01:33:18,264 --> 01:33:19,399
But it doesn't matter.

1874
01:33:23,200 --> 01:33:25,739
That piece of shit
left her there that night...

1875
01:33:26,706 --> 01:33:28,842
alone, to die.

1876
01:33:28,975 --> 01:33:30,176
In a ditch.

1877
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,114
Her death is on him.

1878
01:33:34,247 --> 01:33:36,916
Which is why I will never
acquit James Sythe.

1879
01:33:38,218 --> 01:33:39,219
Ever.

1880
01:33:43,490 --> 01:33:44,958
This trial ends
in only two ways,

1881
01:33:45,910 --> 01:33:47,894
either with a conviction
or a hung jury.

1882
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:49,229
[Denice claps] All right.

1883
01:33:49,362 --> 01:33:50,797
Is everybody ready
to head home?

1884
01:33:53,266 --> 01:33:54,834
Is everybody done here, please?

1885
01:33:56,736 --> 01:33:57,704
[Marcus] Yeah.

1886
01:34:02,509 --> 01:34:03,443
Okay, let's go.

1887
01:34:06,813 --> 01:34:08,140
[Denice] Have you seen enough?

1888
01:34:08,882 --> 01:34:09,849
Yeah.

1889
01:34:09,983 --> 01:34:12,520

All rise!

1896
01:35:37,103 --> 01:35:38,338
Madam Foreperson.

1897
01:35:41,708 --> 01:35:43,309
Has the jury reached a verdict?

1898
01:35:44,144 --> 01:35:45,845
Yes, Your Honor.

1899
01:35:45,979 --> 01:35:48,480
And is that verdict unanimous?

1900
01:35:48,848 --> 01:35:49,949
Yes, Your Honor.

1901
01:36:17,310 --> 01:36:20,800
Will the defendant please stand
for the reading of the verdict?

1902
01:36:26,686 --> 01:36:30,890
"In the matter
of the State of Georgia

we, the jury

find the defendant,

[sighs]

1910
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:53,113
Madam Foreperson?

1911
01:36:54,180 --> 01:36:55,548
To the best of your knowledge,

1912
01:36:55,682 --> 01:36:57,917
was this your verdict
in the jury room?

1913
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,553
Was it freely
and voluntarily given?

1914
01:37:00,687 --> 01:37:02,880
And is this still your verdict?

1915
01:37:03,356 --> 01:37:04,891
[Denice] Yes, Your Honor.

1916
01:37:05,250 --> 01:37:06,292
[Judge Thelma] Very well.

1917
01:37:06,426 --> 01:37:08,261
Then the defendant
is hereby remanded

1918
01:37:08,395 --> 01:37:10,964
to the custody of the State.

1919
01:37:11,970 --> 01:37:13,266
Sentencing will be
at a later date.

1920
01:37:17,570 --> 01:37:19,606
[softly] Oh, James.

1921
01:37:23,877 --> 01:37:25,945
Thank you for your service.

1922
01:37:26,790 --> 01:37:27,247
It is now concluded.

1923
01:37:28,748 --> 01:37:30,160
This court is adjourned.

1924
01:37:38,124 --> 01:37:39,292

[sighs]

1929
01:38:58,538 --> 01:39:00,707
Hey. Good. Right there.

1930
01:39:02,475 --> 01:39:04,177
- Hey.
- Hey.

1931
01:39:04,310 --> 01:39:05,645
- What time does it start?
- Soon. I'm going to head out.

1932
01:39:05,812 --> 01:39:06,946
You sure you want to go?

1933
01:39:07,647 --> 01:39:08,715
Hey! Justin.

1934
01:39:08,882 --> 01:39:10,750
He wasn't a good guy.

1935
01:39:10,884 --> 01:39:12,152
It's not your fault.

1936
01:39:14,487 --> 01:39:15,689
I didn't stand up for him.

1937
01:39:17,524 --> 01:39:19,259
I told them what they
needed to hear,

1938
01:39:19,392 --> 01:39:20,660
and said he couldn't change.

1939
01:39:22,128 --> 01:39:23,930
And I have
to live with that, so...

1940
01:39:27,801 --> 01:39:28,735
The least I can do is be there.

1941
01:39:31,171 --> 01:39:32,238
[door closes]

1942
01:39:34,507 --> 01:39:35,742
Hi, peanut.

1943
01:39:50,590 --> 01:39:51,491
This came for you.

1944
01:40:24,791 --> 01:40:27,660
Will the defendant
please stand for sentencing?

1945
01:40:31,564 --> 01:40:37,170
The murder of Kendall Carter
was violent and senseless.

1946
01:40:37,303 --> 01:40:39,939
The jury has found you
guilty of that murder,

1947
01:40:40,730 --> 01:40:43,143
for which this court
sentences you as follows.

1948
01:40:44,110 --> 01:40:46,446
Count one, malice murder.

1949
01:40:48,181 --> 01:40:49,449
Life in prison

1950
01:40:49,582 --> 01:40:51,451
without the possibility
of parole.

1951
01:40:53,319 --> 01:40:55,355
The defendant
is hereby remanded

1952
01:40:55,488 --> 01:40:57,190
to the Department
of Corrections

1953
01:40:57,323 --> 01:40:59,459
to serve the rest
of his life in prison.

1954
01:41:21,781 --> 01:41:24,351
[suspenseful music playing]

1955
01:41:24,517 --> 01:41:26,520
[Allison] My husband,
Justin, hit a deer.

1956
01:41:26,186 --> 01:41:27,654
[Justin] My wife is of
a high-risk pregnancy.

1957
01:41:41,768 --> 01:41:43,536
[Judge Thelma] This court
is now adjourned.

1958
01:42:04,924 --> 01:42:05,925
Hey.

1959
01:42:07,660 --> 01:42:09,195
I'm surprised you came today.

1960
01:42:12,399 --> 01:42:13,900
I wanted to see this through.

1961
01:42:14,701 --> 01:42:15,802
Yeah. Me too.

1962
01:42:21,174 --> 01:42:22,242
You look tired.

1963
01:42:24,711 --> 01:42:25,745
Likewise.

1964
01:42:27,180 --> 01:42:28,548
Well, I have
a new baby at home.

1965
01:42:29,816 --> 01:42:30,917
That's not what I meant.

1966
01:42:38,358 --> 01:42:39,793
Congratulations on winning
your election.

1967
01:42:39,926 --> 01:42:41,861
- I saw it in the paper.
- Oh, yeah. Thank you.

1968
01:42:41,995 --> 01:42:43,697
It's a pretty big deal.
You must have
worked hard for it.

1969
01:42:43,863 --> 01:42:44,864
Oh, I did.

1970
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:49,436
There's a lot of good
you can do in that job,
I'd imagine.

1971
01:42:50,603 --> 01:42:51,671
Sometimes.

1972
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:55,275
It's not as easy
as you think, though.

1973
01:42:56,976 --> 01:42:58,411
Never is.

1974
01:42:58,578 --> 01:43:00,780
Mmm. Sometimes you try
and do the right thing

1975
01:43:00,914 --> 01:43:02,515
only to realize
you got it all wrong.

1976
01:43:07,954 --> 01:43:10,423
And when you figure things out,

1977
01:43:10,590 --> 01:43:12,625
you realize the guy
you're after isn't some...

1978
01:43:13,626 --> 01:43:15,261
psycho.

1979
01:43:15,428 --> 01:43:16,963
He's not even
really a criminal.

1980
01:43:18,898 --> 01:43:20,567
He's just a regular guy.

1981
01:43:24,604 --> 01:43:25,939
What if it was an accident?

1982
01:43:26,106 --> 01:43:27,240
This is no accident.

1983
01:43:30,777 --> 01:43:33,130
It's impossible to prove,
either way.

1984
01:43:33,146 --> 01:43:35,248
Just like him
not realizing at the time

1985
01:43:35,382 --> 01:43:37,117
that he hit someone
with his car. It's...

1986
01:43:40,820 --> 01:43:42,880
You just have to trust him.

1987
01:43:44,900 --> 01:43:45,191
Why would I do that?

1988
01:43:46,493 --> 01:43:48,762
Because he's a good person.

1989
01:43:48,895 --> 01:43:51,197
He was caught
in terrible circumstances.

1990
01:43:51,331 --> 01:43:53,733
Mmm-hmm. No, you're right.
This is a...

1991
01:43:53,867 --> 01:43:55,201
[chuckles] It's a tough one.

1992
01:43:57,837 --> 01:43:59,305
He has a family
depending on him,

1993
01:43:59,439 --> 01:44:01,174
just like you have people
depending on you.

1994
01:44:02,475 --> 01:44:03,810
And what about justice?

1995
01:44:10,150 --> 01:44:11,818
Well, sometimes...

1996
01:44:11,951 --> 01:44:14,187
the truth isn't justice.

1997
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:16,723
[scoffs] You really
believe that?

1998
01:44:22,328 --> 01:44:24,631
If you keep going with this,

1999
01:44:24,764 --> 01:44:26,900
the press will eat you alive.

2000
01:44:27,330 --> 01:44:28,968
Okay? This case
will follow you forever.

2001
01:44:29,102 --> 01:44:30,336
In the meantime,

2002
01:44:30,503 --> 01:44:32,639
some politician
will take your job,

2003
01:44:32,772 --> 01:44:34,741
a criminal goes back
on the street,

2004
01:44:34,874 --> 01:44:37,430
and a good man
and his family will be...

2005
01:44:38,511 --> 01:44:39,879
just destroyed.

2006
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:45,218
Where is the justice in that?

2007
01:45:05,372 --> 01:45:07,407
[melancholy music playing]

2008
01:45:19,850 --> 01:45:20,120
Amen.

2009
01:45:38,238 --> 01:45:39,739
Looks like the storm passed.

2010
01:45:40,674 --> 01:45:42,442
Yeah. I think so.

2011
01:45:49,249 --> 01:45:50,617
[engine starts]

2012
01:46:06,666 --> 01:46:08,802
[Eric] Hello?
Where's our new DA?

2013
01:46:10,270 --> 01:46:12,305
- Hey.
- Hey.

2014
01:46:12,472 --> 01:46:14,307
- For the new digs.
- Oh. [chuckles]

2015
01:46:14,474 --> 01:46:16,643
- Thanks.
- Yeah. It's real.

2016
01:46:16,776 --> 01:46:18,645
Easy plant to take care of.

2017
01:46:20,246 --> 01:46:22,982
- It really thrives on neglect.
- [chuckles]

2018
01:46:23,116 --> 01:46:25,185
- You did it.
- [sighs]

2019
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:28,288
I hope it was worth it.

2020

[knocks on table]

Ale House later.

2022
01:46:35,995 --> 01:46:36,963
You're buying.

2023
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:02,188
Kung fu!

2024
01:47:02,322 --> 01:47:05,358
- Hi.
- And the 4Runner
is officially sold.

2025
01:47:05,492 --> 01:47:06,326
Okay.

2026
01:47:08,280 --> 01:47:09,290
[sighs]

2027
01:47:09,896 --> 01:47:10,864
Come here.

[both gasp]

- Hi.
- Oh.

2031
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:21,408
Good morning. Dada.

2032
01:47:21,541 --> 01:47:22,842
[Justin and Allison] Yeah.

2033
01:47:22,976 --> 01:47:24,844
- There she goes.
- Come here. Here we go.

2034
01:47:24,978 --> 01:47:27,947
Yeah. Yeah.
You're doing good. Hi.

2035
01:47:28,810 --> 01:47:30,984
[sighs] It sucks.
I think she has my eyes.

2036
01:47:31,151 --> 01:47:32,318
- Really?
- Yeah.

2037
01:47:32,452 --> 01:47:34,320
- No.
- Yeah.

2038
01:47:34,454 --> 01:47:35,922
- You have beautiful eyes.
- Well...

2039
01:47:36,990 --> 01:47:38,425
Look, I think, maybe mine.

2040
01:47:38,558 --> 01:47:39,759
They're changing a little bit.

2041
01:47:39,893 --> 01:47:42,495
- [baby cooing]
- Yeah, hi.

2042
01:47:42,629 --> 01:47:44,431
- She has my mouth.
- I hope not.

2043
01:47:44,564 --> 01:47:46,366
[both laugh]

2044
01:47:47,701 --> 01:47:48,935
Definitely your elbows, though.

01:47:49,690 --> 01:47:50,236
My elb-- [laughs]

2046
01:47:50,370 --> 01:47:52,500
My elbow. [gasps]

2047
01:47:52,138 --> 01:47:54,207
Look at your beautiful elbows.
You're blessed.

2048
01:47:54,341 --> 01:47:56,276
- [laughs]
- My greatest feature.

2049
01:47:59,746 --> 01:48:00,747
Hi.

2050
01:48:02,882 --> 01:48:04,840
My girls.

2051
01:48:04,217 --> 01:48:06,653
My girls
with beautiful elbows. Yeah.

2052
01:48:06,786 --> 01:48:08,621
- [knock at door]
- Oh.

2053
01:48:09,255 --> 01:48:10,557
Oh.

2054
01:48:10,724 --> 01:48:12,425
Who could that be
at a time like this?

2055
01:48:12,592 --> 01:48:13,793
- Hey, peanut.
- There we go.

2056
01:48:13,927 --> 01:48:15,128
Hi, honey.

2057
01:48:15,795 --> 01:48:17,130
Okay.

2058
01:48:36,583 --> 01:48:38,585
[somber music playing]
