1
00:00:00,932 --> 00:00:02,627
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:06,568
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,638 --> 00:00:08,436
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,507 --> 00:00:11,340
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,410 --> 00:00:13,378
These are their stories.
6
00:00:13,646 --> 00:00:18,639
Shirley Jackson's 1993 employee evaluation
said her motivation was above average.
7
00:00:19,451 --> 00:00:20,577
Jackson?
8
00:00:20,652 --> 00:00:22,381
That's the one who says
her boss snapped her bra?
9
00:00:22,454 --> 00:00:25,288
That's Malone.
Jackson had a boob pinched.
10
00:00:25,357 --> 00:00:28,656
You might want to try
keeping our clients straight.
11
00:00:30,529 --> 00:00:31,826
What is it?
12
00:00:31,897 --> 00:00:34,957
"Mattawin Studios
Executive Committee Meeting."
13
00:00:43,342 --> 00:00:46,641
Only in America is this something
that we have to put up with.
14
00:00:46,712 --> 00:00:48,839
You know, the Japanese,
they have the right idea.
15
00:00:48,914 --> 00:00:51,678
Their women serve tea in the
office and they leave them alone.
16
00:00:51,750 --> 00:00:53,912
Have you
seen the list of plaintiffs?
17
00:00:53,987 --> 00:00:57,354
They all got hired in the first
place because they had nice racks.
18
00:00:57,424 --> 00:00:59,892
I have a hunch this got put in
the discovery box by mistake.
19
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,451
How about Heidi?
Is she testifying?
20
00:01:02,529 --> 00:01:04,690
I hope not.
She could hurt us.
21
00:01:04,764 --> 00:01:05,991
What the hell
is she gonna say?
22
00:01:06,065 --> 00:01:07,430
That she
witnessed harassment.
23
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,093
Maybe that she
was harassed herself.
24
00:01:09,169 --> 00:01:12,161
Heidi harassed?
That's a joke, right?
25
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:14,707
She slept with one of her
own male assistants.
26
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:16,901
We still have to
deal with the eventuality.
27
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:19,502
I'll tell
you how to deal with it.
28
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:23,816
If she's gonna turn on us, somebody
should just kill the bitch.
29
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,210
Heidi Ellison?
30
00:01:27,622 --> 00:01:29,351
That's the one who...
Yeah.
31
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:31,117
The one that was killed.
32
00:01:31,191 --> 00:01:33,125
Mr. Gorton, it's 9:45.
33
00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:36,390
Oh, I'm sorry, Your Honor, but we just
need this table for our associates.
34
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:37,896
Can't they sit in the
first row of the gallery?
35
00:01:37,964 --> 00:01:39,432
Oh, that's reserved
for the press.
36
00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:41,092
I allocated
rows two and three for them.
37
00:01:41,169 --> 00:01:44,400
That was before Mr. Dunne and Ms.
Brenner presented letters from their publishers.
38
00:01:44,472 --> 00:01:47,805
Also we need to keep a place for Dr.
Duval, Mr. Newman's psychiatrist.
39
00:01:47,875 --> 00:01:50,844
Are we going to be doing
therapy in the courtroom?
40
00:01:50,912 --> 00:01:54,747
It is in everyone's interest that Mr.
Newman stay in a calm and alert mental state.
41
00:01:54,816 --> 00:01:58,581
Also, Your Honor, have you had a chance to
consider our request for a fax machine?
42
00:01:58,653 --> 00:02:03,147
The People do not believe that a fax
machine is required in the courtroom.
43
00:02:04,492 --> 00:02:07,518
By the way,
we are ready to proceed.
44
00:02:07,595 --> 00:02:09,256
So are we.
Here's Ms. Joyner now.
45
00:02:09,331 --> 00:02:11,231
Ms. Joyner,
good morning.
46
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:12,699
Good morning, Your Honor.
47
00:02:12,768 --> 00:02:16,431
These are my associates,
Mr. Nakamura and Mr. Levine.
48
00:02:24,145 --> 00:02:25,807
You and me, Jamie.
49
00:03:14,831 --> 00:03:18,232
They're from Dekom Flint Cummings.
Civil litigators.
50
00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:20,330
Play it.
51
00:03:20,570 --> 00:03:23,266
Our firm represents a group of
women suing Mattawin Studios
52
00:03:23,339 --> 00:03:25,808
for sexual harassment.
$100 million.
53
00:03:26,110 --> 00:03:28,806
This is a tape of a Mattawin
executive committee meeting.
54
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:32,576
They were worried because Heidi Ellison
was gonna testify for the plaintiffs.
55
00:03:33,183 --> 00:03:35,344
We still have to
deal with the eventuality.
56
00:03:35,419 --> 00:03:37,887
I'll tell
you how to deal with it.
57
00:03:38,222 --> 00:03:41,555
If she's gonna turn on us, somebody
should just kill the bitch.
58
00:03:43,327 --> 00:03:47,320
That wouldn't, by any chance,
be the person just put on trial
59
00:03:47,665 --> 00:03:49,189
for killing the woman,
would it?
60
00:03:49,266 --> 00:03:50,392
It's not his voice.
61
00:03:50,467 --> 00:03:52,162
Yeah. I suppose it was
too much to hope for.
62
00:03:52,236 --> 00:03:56,003
All right. Thank you very much for
bringing this to our attention.
63
00:03:58,176 --> 00:03:59,871
Look into it.
See if it means anything.
64
00:03:59,944 --> 00:04:00,968
First thing in the morning.
65
00:04:01,046 --> 00:04:02,911
Neal Gorton's playing games
with our custody arrangement.
66
00:04:02,981 --> 00:04:04,141
I gotta be home by 8:00.
67
00:04:04,215 --> 00:04:05,306
Early, right?
68
00:04:05,382 --> 00:04:06,542
Right.
69
00:04:11,456 --> 00:04:13,321
I don't know what meeting
you're talking about.
70
00:04:14,492 --> 00:04:17,518
We have the minutes
you typed up, Mr. Canter.
71
00:04:17,595 --> 00:04:20,120
Except you left out the part
about the customs of Japan
72
00:04:20,198 --> 00:04:22,223
and killing the bitch.
73
00:04:22,567 --> 00:04:24,660
I suppose the plaintiffs
are gonna use it anyway?
74
00:04:24,736 --> 00:04:26,295
And so unfair.
75
00:04:26,806 --> 00:04:28,398
Who suggested
killing Heidi Ellison?
76
00:04:28,474 --> 00:04:29,702
Look, it doesn't mean anything.
77
00:04:29,775 --> 00:04:31,901
You've charged
that crazy husband of hers.
78
00:04:31,976 --> 00:04:33,409
Okay, Mr. Canter.
79
00:04:33,478 --> 00:04:36,208
I can ask you the same
question on the witness stand.
80
00:04:36,948 --> 00:04:38,381
Ben Hollings.
81
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:39,917
Her boss?
82
00:04:41,086 --> 00:04:43,988
He's being sued
for $10 million personally.
83
00:04:44,323 --> 00:04:45,915
He felt betrayed,
84
00:04:46,625 --> 00:04:48,593
but the whole thing
turned out to be moot.
85
00:04:48,661 --> 00:04:49,685
Why?
86
00:04:49,762 --> 00:04:51,821
Heidi decided not to testify.
87
00:04:51,897 --> 00:04:54,593
We heard a couple of days
before she was killed.
88
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:57,033
I already told the police everything
I know about Eddie Newman.
89
00:04:57,103 --> 00:04:59,901
I was just Heidi's assistant.
I didn't live with her.
90
00:04:59,972 --> 00:05:02,497
Actually, something's come
up about Ben Hollings.
91
00:05:02,575 --> 00:05:06,102
Really? Well, he usually finds a way to
bring the subject around to himself.
92
00:05:06,178 --> 00:05:07,975
We understand he was concerned
about some testimony
93
00:05:08,047 --> 00:05:10,174
Heidi might give in
a sexual harassment lawsuit.
94
00:05:10,249 --> 00:05:11,774
Yeah. He ought to be.
95
00:05:11,852 --> 00:05:13,410
Heidi started out
as his assistant.
96
00:05:13,487 --> 00:05:15,648
And nobody knows
a boss like an assistant.
97
00:05:15,722 --> 00:05:17,587
Well, especially a boss
who pops into your office
98
00:05:17,657 --> 00:05:19,352
naked every once in a while.
99
00:05:19,426 --> 00:05:21,018
Heidi was gonna
testify about that?
100
00:05:21,094 --> 00:05:24,585
About that, about the late night
summons to work sessions,
101
00:05:24,663 --> 00:05:26,996
stupid jokes,
the unsolicited back rubs...
102
00:05:27,067 --> 00:05:28,329
Was this still going on?
103
00:05:28,402 --> 00:05:31,769
Well, not to her, but it was to
two assistants who were fired.
104
00:05:31,838 --> 00:05:32,930
They asked for Heidi's help,
105
00:05:33,006 --> 00:05:34,496
and she knew it was
a very big risk,
106
00:05:34,574 --> 00:05:35,939
but she was gonna do it anyway.
107
00:05:36,009 --> 00:05:37,704
The studio said
she changed her mind,
108
00:05:37,778 --> 00:05:39,439
that she wasn't
going to testify.
109
00:05:45,153 --> 00:05:47,552
And where did Mr.
Newman ask you to take him?
110
00:05:47,621 --> 00:05:51,751
To Islip on Long Island.
A road near the airport.
111
00:05:52,926 --> 00:05:55,019
Next to a field
behind a school?
112
00:05:55,095 --> 00:05:56,926
Yes. I think so.
113
00:05:57,432 --> 00:05:59,866
The school where
the murder weapon was found.
114
00:05:59,934 --> 00:06:01,265
Thank you.
115
00:06:02,003 --> 00:06:03,368
Mr. Singh,
116
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,971
how do you get from Manhattan
to the Islip airport?
117
00:06:09,043 --> 00:06:11,068
You take
the Long Island Expressway.
118
00:06:11,145 --> 00:06:12,976
Where do you get off?
119
00:06:13,047 --> 00:06:14,071
In Islip.
120
00:06:14,148 --> 00:06:15,274
At what exit?
121
00:06:15,349 --> 00:06:19,786
I don't really know because Mr.
Newman, he told me how to get there.
122
00:06:19,854 --> 00:06:21,549
Well, how did you
know it was Islip?
123
00:06:21,622 --> 00:06:23,385
Because he said
that's where he wanted to go.
124
00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:24,925
But he could have
said that it was Islip
125
00:06:24,992 --> 00:06:28,292
and pointed the way to Oyster Bay and
you wouldn't have known the difference.
126
00:06:28,363 --> 00:06:30,558
I don't know
where Oyster Bay is.
127
00:06:30,666 --> 00:06:33,999
Now when you dropped him off,
did you see the airport?
128
00:06:34,069 --> 00:06:36,867
No, no.
It was before the airport.
129
00:06:36,939 --> 00:06:38,701
Then how'd you know
that the airport was there?
130
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:42,675
Because Mr. McCoy found me
because I went to a gas station
131
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:46,005
and that gas station
is near the airport.
132
00:06:46,682 --> 00:06:48,616
The man remembered me.
133
00:06:49,284 --> 00:06:50,808
Mr. McCoy told me.
134
00:06:50,886 --> 00:06:53,684
So that's how you know where
you dropped off Mr. Newman.
135
00:06:53,755 --> 00:06:55,655
Because Mr. McCoy told you?
136
00:06:55,724 --> 00:06:57,521
Yes. That's correct.
137
00:06:58,461 --> 00:07:01,828
But I think Jack McCoy
definitely lost some points today.
138
00:07:01,898 --> 00:07:04,162
Jerry, it's part of his job
to prepare his witnesses.
139
00:07:04,234 --> 00:07:05,564
I did it myself
when I was a prosecutor.
140
00:07:05,634 --> 00:07:07,363
And I did it when I
was a defense attorney,
141
00:07:07,436 --> 00:07:11,634
but come on, Ben, it looked like McCoy
spoon-fed that guy his answers.
142
00:07:11,707 --> 00:07:15,200
Mr. McCoy didn't do anything
wrong or even unusual.
143
00:07:15,278 --> 00:07:18,008
The defense just made it
seem devious and sleazy.
144
00:07:18,414 --> 00:07:20,314
Yeah.
Wasn't it great?
145
00:07:23,486 --> 00:07:26,046
Who needs a jury?
We have commentators.
146
00:07:26,122 --> 00:07:28,648
Next time,
try the cartoon channel.
147
00:07:28,859 --> 00:07:30,689
That was the cartoon channel.
148
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,625
What's happening
with Ben Hollings?
149
00:07:33,396 --> 00:07:36,854
His corporate flunky said he has no motive
since Heidi wasn't going to testify.
150
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:39,902
Her assistant says she was and
the plaintiffs' lawyers do, too.
151
00:07:39,969 --> 00:07:41,197
What does Hollings say?
152
00:07:41,271 --> 00:07:44,207
I'm about to find out in 15 minutes.
His helicopter's due.
153
00:07:44,575 --> 00:07:46,805
I've heard about your behavior
toward women, Mr. Hollings,
154
00:07:46,877 --> 00:07:48,401
I'm prepared
to adjust our case.
155
00:07:48,479 --> 00:07:50,572
You know,
if Newman's convicted,
156
00:07:50,648 --> 00:07:52,707
it's going to cost us millions.
157
00:07:53,217 --> 00:07:55,582
Who's going to take their kids
to see a children's movie
158
00:07:55,652 --> 00:07:58,280
directed by a guy
who cuts off heads?
159
00:07:58,555 --> 00:08:01,457
So actually it's in your
financial interest to confess.
160
00:08:02,293 --> 00:08:04,090
We can write it off.
161
00:08:04,728 --> 00:08:08,528
I didn't kill Heidi.
I was in London at a film opening.
162
00:08:08,866 --> 00:08:13,929
If you want a list of 2,000
alibi witnesses, call my girl.
163
00:08:18,677 --> 00:08:20,872
Mr.
Newman told us he was in Los Angeles
164
00:08:20,946 --> 00:08:23,880
the night of the murder, but later
we determined he was in New York.
165
00:08:23,948 --> 00:08:26,576
Did Mr. Newman tell you
anything about his ex-wife?
166
00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:29,586
Yes. He said he suspected she was
having a sexual relationship
167
00:08:29,654 --> 00:08:31,622
with her personal trainer.
168
00:08:31,690 --> 00:08:33,021
Thank you.
169
00:08:35,427 --> 00:08:38,794
Did Mr. Newman seem upset about
this supposed relationship?
170
00:08:38,863 --> 00:08:40,353
He seemed to shrug it off,
171
00:08:41,032 --> 00:08:43,364
but later we determined he was
prone to fits of jealous violence
172
00:08:43,435 --> 00:08:44,424
while they were married.
173
00:08:44,503 --> 00:08:46,266
And you learned that from whom?
174
00:08:46,339 --> 00:08:48,806
The detective who planted
evidence against Mr. Newman?
175
00:08:48,873 --> 00:08:51,000
Objection.
I'll rephrase.
176
00:08:51,076 --> 00:08:54,204
From the detective who allegedly
planted evidence against Mr. Newman?
177
00:08:54,279 --> 00:08:56,213
It was corroborated
by other officers.
178
00:08:56,281 --> 00:08:57,441
Friends of the detective
179
00:08:57,515 --> 00:08:59,483
who allegedly planted
evidence against Mr. Newman?
180
00:08:59,551 --> 00:09:01,019
Objection.
181
00:09:01,220 --> 00:09:02,346
Sustained.
182
00:09:03,956 --> 00:09:05,924
Okay, Detective Curtis.
183
00:09:06,258 --> 00:09:08,158
Let's talk about your friends.
184
00:09:08,661 --> 00:09:11,960
When you first flew to California, you
weren't after Mr. Newman, were you?
185
00:09:12,031 --> 00:09:13,827
No. At that time
we had another suspect.
186
00:09:13,898 --> 00:09:16,367
Evan Grant, Heidi Ellison's
personal trainer?
187
00:09:16,435 --> 00:09:18,403
Yes.
But you changed your focus
188
00:09:18,471 --> 00:09:21,099
to Eddie Newman after you
began a sexual relationship
189
00:09:21,173 --> 00:09:24,108
with a woman who hates Eddie
Newman, isn't that right?
190
00:09:24,176 --> 00:09:26,007
I don't know
what you're talking about.
191
00:09:26,078 --> 00:09:28,069
You don't know Lisa Lundquist?
192
00:09:28,147 --> 00:09:29,842
Yes, she's an executive
at Mattawin Studios.
193
00:09:29,915 --> 00:09:33,977
Where Eddie Newman has consistently
thwarted her desire for promotion.
194
00:09:34,054 --> 00:09:35,146
I wouldn't know
anything about that.
195
00:09:35,222 --> 00:09:37,713
You don't know he refused to
have his movies supervised
196
00:09:37,791 --> 00:09:39,189
by the woman
you were sleeping with?
197
00:09:39,258 --> 00:09:41,021
Hey, I wasn't
sleeping with Ms. Lundquist.
198
00:09:41,093 --> 00:09:44,585
Oh? She spent the night in your
hotel room for a script conference?
199
00:09:44,664 --> 00:09:45,927
I wasn't even
in the room that night.
200
00:09:45,999 --> 00:09:48,524
Is that why she came to visit
you in New York a week later?
201
00:09:48,602 --> 00:09:50,900
Because she liked sleeping
in empty hotel rooms?
202
00:09:50,971 --> 00:09:52,495
Objection.
Sustained.
203
00:09:52,572 --> 00:09:54,938
Was Lisa Lundquist sleeping
with that other detective, too?
204
00:09:55,008 --> 00:09:56,873
Were you all framing
Eddie Newman together?
205
00:09:56,943 --> 00:09:58,706
Objection.
Sustained.
206
00:09:59,413 --> 00:10:00,779
That's enough, Ms. Joyner.
207
00:10:00,848 --> 00:10:02,713
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
208
00:10:02,784 --> 00:10:05,581
I have nothing further
for this witness.
209
00:10:09,122 --> 00:10:10,885
I don't think
Hollings killed Heidi Ellison,
210
00:10:10,957 --> 00:10:12,686
but remind me
never to go to work for him.
211
00:10:12,759 --> 00:10:14,659
Hey. What the hell's
the matter with you, McCoy?
212
00:10:14,728 --> 00:10:16,094
Why didn't you
stop that sooner?
213
00:10:16,164 --> 00:10:17,995
I might have been able to
if you'd told me about it.
214
00:10:18,066 --> 00:10:19,863
There's nothing to tell.
215
00:10:21,369 --> 00:10:22,961
What was that about?
216
00:10:23,037 --> 00:10:24,937
He's just a little upset
his wife's about to find out
217
00:10:25,006 --> 00:10:27,133
he had an affair
on the evening news.
218
00:10:28,242 --> 00:10:29,970
I told you, you should
have gone to bed with her.
219
00:10:30,043 --> 00:10:32,672
You're getting the grief,
you should've had the gravy.
220
00:10:35,817 --> 00:10:38,718
My specialties are victimology
and forensic psychology.
221
00:10:38,786 --> 00:10:41,687
I'm a member of the American
Psychological Association
222
00:10:41,756 --> 00:10:43,223
and the American Academy
of Forensic Sciences...
223
00:10:43,291 --> 00:10:44,656
Your Honor, approach?
224
00:10:44,726 --> 00:10:45,920
Over here.
225
00:10:52,401 --> 00:10:55,198
We can see no possible relevance
in this witness's testimony.
226
00:10:55,269 --> 00:10:56,896
She's never even
met the defendant.
227
00:10:56,971 --> 00:10:58,029
She's published three articles
228
00:10:58,106 --> 00:11:00,768
on the relationship between drug
abuse and violent behavior.
229
00:11:00,842 --> 00:11:02,572
There's no proof
Mr. Newman ever took drugs.
230
00:11:02,644 --> 00:11:04,612
Just the 2,000 pills
found in his apartment.
231
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,944
If they were still in his apartment,
he obviously hadn't taken them.
232
00:11:07,015 --> 00:11:09,108
Is that a joke?
Let's take it into chambers.
233
00:11:10,085 --> 00:11:13,452
Eddie Newman had more flavors of
benzodiazepines in his medicine cabinet
234
00:11:13,522 --> 00:11:14,750
than Baskin Robbins.
235
00:11:14,823 --> 00:11:16,451
He also had methamphetamines,
236
00:11:16,526 --> 00:11:19,427
which taken in high doses can cause
episodes of violent paranoia.
237
00:11:19,496 --> 00:11:22,896
If taken in high doses. Dr.
Duval here is prepared to testify
238
00:11:22,965 --> 00:11:25,525
what doses of which drugs
he prescribed and why.
239
00:11:25,601 --> 00:11:27,432
Those would be the drugs
there's no proof that he took?
240
00:11:27,503 --> 00:11:30,370
The drugs taken in appropriate amounts under Dr.
Duval's medical supervision...
241
00:11:30,439 --> 00:11:32,704
Excuse me, but Dr. Duval apparently
prescribed two methamphetamines...
242
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:34,676
Now, wait a minute...
...and six benzodiazepines.
243
00:11:34,744 --> 00:11:37,042
That could only be appropriate if
Eddie Newman weighed 1,200 pounds.
244
00:11:37,113 --> 00:11:40,674
Your Honor, these prescriptions are old.
You can see that for yourself.
245
00:11:40,750 --> 00:11:42,741
I adjusted the medications to
suit Eddie Newman's changing...
246
00:11:42,819 --> 00:11:44,514
Right, when he was high,
he needed to come down,
247
00:11:44,587 --> 00:11:46,418
and when he was down,
he wanted to get high.
248
00:11:46,489 --> 00:11:50,357
Dr. Olivet, where on earth is all
of this hostility coming from?
249
00:11:50,426 --> 00:11:52,986
From seeing a psychotherapist
turn into a two-legged pacifier
250
00:11:53,062 --> 00:11:54,859
for spoiled, rich...
Eddie Newman had insomnia.
251
00:11:54,931 --> 00:11:56,694
He had trouble
controlling his diet.
252
00:11:56,766 --> 00:12:00,964
He had a history of chronic pain and
a well-documented anxiety disorder.
253
00:12:01,037 --> 00:12:03,438
You know as well as I do
that every one of those drugs
254
00:12:03,507 --> 00:12:04,531
has a therapeutic use.
255
00:12:04,608 --> 00:12:08,510
All right. Mr. McCoy,
Ms. Joyner, Mr. Gorton,
256
00:12:10,214 --> 00:12:13,614
you can put on your witness
after Mr. McCoy puts on his.
257
00:12:13,683 --> 00:12:16,208
We'll hear Dr. Olivet's
testimony tomorrow.
258
00:12:17,655 --> 00:12:19,623
Score one for the good guys.
259
00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:21,658
Trembling in my boots, Jamie.
260
00:12:21,725 --> 00:12:23,317
I don't know which I'm
going to enjoy more,
261
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:26,124
seeing Newman go free
or seeing you lose.
262
00:12:27,398 --> 00:12:29,161
Two vodka martinis.
263
00:12:29,533 --> 00:12:30,761
Is it all about me?
264
00:12:30,835 --> 00:12:31,961
You know I'm over that.
265
00:12:32,036 --> 00:12:34,528
Of course.
I've seen your new associate.
266
00:12:34,606 --> 00:12:36,699
Harvard Law Review.
267
00:12:36,775 --> 00:12:39,334
And a round butt.
Just the way you like them.
268
00:12:40,678 --> 00:12:44,170
What would you consider a
sufficiently satisfying defeat of me?
269
00:12:45,516 --> 00:12:46,881
Acquittal.
270
00:12:47,384 --> 00:12:49,250
The guy cut
his wife's head off.
271
00:12:49,321 --> 00:12:51,346
You'd look damn good
getting man one.
272
00:12:52,090 --> 00:12:55,958
Minimum sentence, three to six,
I could still look down on you.
273
00:12:56,528 --> 00:12:58,291
We'd never go for it.
274
00:12:58,363 --> 00:13:00,854
We are speaking
hypothetically, aren't we?
275
00:13:01,566 --> 00:13:03,228
Just between us.
276
00:13:04,936 --> 00:13:09,669
" Other members of the defense
team reacted with anger and confusion
277
00:13:10,108 --> 00:13:13,635
"to reports that Gorton had
discussed a plea bargain.
278
00:13:14,379 --> 00:13:16,711
"Gorton issued a heated denial,
279
00:13:16,781 --> 00:13:20,183
"but Hogan Place sources insisted
the discussion had taken place."
280
00:13:20,253 --> 00:13:21,447
Now this news I like.
281
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,546
Shake her hand, Adam, I'm just
an old-fashioned prosecutor.
282
00:13:24,624 --> 00:13:26,091
I try cases.
283
00:13:26,158 --> 00:13:27,250
It makes them look weak.
284
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,523
How things look to some general audience
is not relevant in a courtroom.
285
00:13:31,596 --> 00:13:33,656
Oh, will you wake him up,
Ms. Ross?
286
00:13:33,733 --> 00:13:35,633
We're approaching
the 21st century.
287
00:13:35,701 --> 00:13:38,932
It matters, Jack.
When are you gonna buy a new tie?
288
00:13:40,973 --> 00:13:43,999
You can't just turn off all
the cameras and the microphones.
289
00:13:44,076 --> 00:13:45,373
What's next?
290
00:13:45,444 --> 00:13:47,275
Timeouts for commercials?
291
00:13:47,346 --> 00:13:50,441
We go into court with
soft drink logos on our backs?
292
00:13:50,817 --> 00:13:52,842
The public'll get entertainment,
they won't get justice...
293
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,080
Mr. McCoy, do you expect another
plea offer from the defense?
294
00:13:55,154 --> 00:13:56,143
That's up to them.
295
00:13:56,222 --> 00:13:59,020
Is it true Ms. Joyner and Mr.
Gorton aren't speaking to each other?
296
00:13:59,091 --> 00:14:00,080
Yeah.
Is that true?
297
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:02,059
This is a trial,
not a soap opera.
298
00:14:02,128 --> 00:14:03,824
I wish you people
would remember that.
299
00:14:03,897 --> 00:14:05,455
Ms. Ross? I'm sorry.
I have no comment.
300
00:14:05,532 --> 00:14:06,829
That doesn't work, lady.
301
00:14:09,536 --> 00:14:10,798
Ms. Ross.
302
00:14:10,871 --> 00:14:12,429
You can't go in there.
303
00:14:12,940 --> 00:14:14,339
Ms. Ross?
304
00:14:18,145 --> 00:14:19,443
Jamie.
305
00:14:19,514 --> 00:14:21,174
Allow me
to introduce Mr. Chao.
306
00:14:21,248 --> 00:14:22,272
He's heading
our blood evidence team.
307
00:14:22,349 --> 00:14:23,611
You son of a bitch.
308
00:14:23,684 --> 00:14:24,708
I take it you got my notice.
309
00:14:24,785 --> 00:14:26,150
Yeah. Here it is.
310
00:14:28,322 --> 00:14:30,552
Not a legally persuasive
argument, Counselor.
311
00:14:31,792 --> 00:14:33,623
We have a custody arrangement,
you're in breach.
312
00:14:33,694 --> 00:14:35,390
How? By working late
once in a while?
313
00:14:35,463 --> 00:14:36,555
Every night
for the last two months.
314
00:14:36,631 --> 00:14:38,258
Katie thinks
Isabel is her mother.
315
00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:39,994
She'd be better off with me.
316
00:14:40,068 --> 00:14:41,558
She's my child.
317
00:14:41,636 --> 00:14:45,538
Well, I'm sure we can work out
plenty of times for you to visit.
318
00:14:50,044 --> 00:14:52,308
Coats everybody,
it's time to leave.
319
00:14:52,380 --> 00:14:53,642
Can't Daddy come home?
320
00:14:53,715 --> 00:14:56,115
Not tonight, baby.
Come on.
321
00:15:00,955 --> 00:15:02,013
So you don't believe me?
322
00:15:02,090 --> 00:15:04,525
I do believe you, Rey.
That's the problem.
323
00:15:04,593 --> 00:15:06,754
I've believed everything
you said for nine years.
324
00:15:06,829 --> 00:15:08,524
Then why don't
you believe me now?
325
00:15:08,597 --> 00:15:10,087
I don't like feeling like this.
326
00:15:10,599 --> 00:15:12,065
Everything is open to question.
327
00:15:12,133 --> 00:15:16,502
Not you and me. Not the girls.
That's real. You know that's real.
328
00:15:18,172 --> 00:15:19,571
Daddy, pick me up.
329
00:15:21,877 --> 00:15:23,606
Yeah, baby.
330
00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:25,637
You wanna see?
331
00:15:26,982 --> 00:15:28,142
Can you get that?
332
00:15:31,186 --> 00:15:32,380
Hello?
333
00:15:33,555 --> 00:15:35,547
Yes, he's here.
334
00:15:36,126 --> 00:15:37,490
Who is it?
335
00:15:37,860 --> 00:15:39,384
It's your girlfriend.
336
00:15:40,896 --> 00:15:42,022
Hi.
Hi.
337
00:15:42,097 --> 00:15:44,327
I usually have
a better sense of timing.
338
00:15:47,102 --> 00:15:50,072
You want me to tell her what
a loyal husband you were?
339
00:15:52,008 --> 00:15:53,407
Guess not.
340
00:15:54,044 --> 00:15:56,137
I'm gonna do whatever it takes.
341
00:15:56,212 --> 00:15:58,112
I gotta get back
with her and the kids.
342
00:16:00,283 --> 00:16:02,342
So, that's a "no"
on the job offer
343
00:16:03,986 --> 00:16:05,352
and on me.
344
00:16:05,889 --> 00:16:07,413
You know what's going on.
345
00:16:09,993 --> 00:16:11,893
Well, at least you didn't
turn out to be gay.
346
00:16:14,364 --> 00:16:16,958
I called Jack McCoy and told
him that I want to testify.
347
00:16:17,033 --> 00:16:20,196
About what, all the times
we almost had sex?
348
00:16:20,938 --> 00:16:22,667
No. About what
the defense said.
349
00:16:23,407 --> 00:16:25,705
How I influenced you
because I don't like Newman.
350
00:16:26,377 --> 00:16:27,469
You didn't influence me.
351
00:16:27,545 --> 00:16:29,171
I don't like Newman.
352
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,212
He messed with my career.
He was mad at Heidi for messing with his.
353
00:16:33,283 --> 00:16:35,844
You think he wanted to be directing
A Tale of Two Yogis?
354
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,978
He sure looked like he did.
355
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,751
He spent five years developing an
American Madame Bovary.
356
00:16:41,926 --> 00:16:44,360
Heidi put it in turnaround.
He was furious.
357
00:16:44,528 --> 00:16:46,018
Why didn't you tell us before?
358
00:16:46,097 --> 00:16:49,555
I couldn't prove it without
accessing confidential files,
359
00:16:50,401 --> 00:16:53,235
which means
I'd be looking for a new job.
360
00:16:57,608 --> 00:16:58,597
Here.
361
00:17:00,544 --> 00:17:03,707
Everything Mattawin Studios
knows about Eddie Newman.
362
00:17:03,781 --> 00:17:04,805
Why?
363
00:17:04,882 --> 00:17:07,078
I'm in a funny business, Rey.
364
00:17:07,919 --> 00:17:10,183
Everybody talks like hippies
365
00:17:10,856 --> 00:17:13,347
and acts like
they're in the Sicilian mob.
366
00:17:14,259 --> 00:17:15,817
I'm tired of it.
367
00:17:20,531 --> 00:17:22,295
These memos are good.
368
00:17:22,801 --> 00:17:25,326
Heidi Ellison definitely
put the kibosh on Newman.
369
00:17:25,403 --> 00:17:27,428
So it was all worthwhile.
370
00:17:27,506 --> 00:17:29,599
I'll tell my kids in 20 years.
371
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:32,734
Jack, Eddie Newman's
company credit card bill.
372
00:17:35,747 --> 00:17:36,840
Dinner at Le Lapin,
373
00:17:36,916 --> 00:17:39,544
$245, the night of the murder.
374
00:17:40,052 --> 00:17:42,020
He put his whole life
on the company card.
375
00:17:42,088 --> 00:17:44,386
It's a wonder he didn't
expense the murder weapon.
376
00:17:44,924 --> 00:17:47,824
$245 is pretty steep for one.
377
00:17:48,226 --> 00:17:49,693
Even at Le Lapin.
378
00:17:50,896 --> 00:17:51,955
His expense report.
379
00:17:52,031 --> 00:17:55,228
December 5, dinner with consultant
on Wilhelm Reich project,
380
00:17:55,868 --> 00:17:57,495
Dr. Dan Duval.
381
00:17:58,304 --> 00:18:01,102
He was with his shrink an hour
before he killed his wife?
382
00:18:01,507 --> 00:18:03,407
Yes, I had dinner
with Eddie Newman that night
383
00:18:03,476 --> 00:18:05,740
and then I took a cab
to Newark Airport.
384
00:18:05,811 --> 00:18:07,871
And you didn't mention
this dinner to the police?
385
00:18:07,948 --> 00:18:11,713
Well, Eddie had told the police
that he wasn't in New York.
386
00:18:11,784 --> 00:18:13,809
I didn't think
it was any of my business
387
00:18:13,886 --> 00:18:16,150
to cast undue suspicion
on a patient of mine.
388
00:18:16,222 --> 00:18:18,122
Undue? He lied
about his alibi.
389
00:18:18,191 --> 00:18:20,955
Yes, but he didn't
kill Heidi Ellison.
390
00:18:21,427 --> 00:18:22,827
I was still counseling
both of them.
391
00:18:22,896 --> 00:18:25,694
In fact, I spoke to Heidi
on the phone that morning.
392
00:18:25,832 --> 00:18:30,166
You see, my dinner with Eddie Newman
that night was part of the therapy.
393
00:18:30,237 --> 00:18:32,102
How do you know he didn't
kill her, Dr. Duval?
394
00:18:32,172 --> 00:18:34,106
From conversations
I had with him,
395
00:18:34,575 --> 00:18:36,372
which I can't repeat.
396
00:18:36,510 --> 00:18:39,570
Oh. Well, that's
convenient, isn't it?
397
00:18:39,646 --> 00:18:43,104
Your Honor, Mr. McCoy is aware
of the doctor-patient privilege.
398
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:45,910
That doesn't apply
to social conversations.
399
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:49,184
Dr. Duval, what did Eddie
Newman say to you that night
400
00:18:49,256 --> 00:18:50,655
in his capacity as your friend?
401
00:18:50,724 --> 00:18:52,784
It's impossible
for me to separate
402
00:18:52,860 --> 00:18:56,091
Eddie Newman, patient,
from Eddie Newman, friend.
403
00:18:56,164 --> 00:18:59,656
Everything he says to me is an
indicator of his mental state.
404
00:19:03,704 --> 00:19:04,830
All right, Doctor.
405
00:19:06,974 --> 00:19:09,307
You said you talked
to Heidi Ellison that day,
406
00:19:09,377 --> 00:19:10,969
what did she say to you
about Eddie Newman?
407
00:19:11,045 --> 00:19:12,239
Approach, Your Honor?
408
00:19:17,552 --> 00:19:19,713
Ms. Ellison's conversations
with her therapist
409
00:19:19,787 --> 00:19:21,584
are just as privileged
as Mr. Newman's.
410
00:19:21,656 --> 00:19:24,091
Her privilege is not
Mr. Gorton's to assert.
411
00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:26,024
It belongs to Heidi Ellison.
412
00:19:26,095 --> 00:19:27,995
As far as I'm aware,
she hasn't waived it.
413
00:19:30,732 --> 00:19:32,324
Her parents are in the gallery,
let me talk to them.
414
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,424
They can waive her privilege.
415
00:19:33,501 --> 00:19:34,695
It's a wasted exercise.
416
00:19:34,769 --> 00:19:37,067
Anything Dr. Duval
says she said is hearsay.
417
00:19:37,138 --> 00:19:39,334
Why don't we fight about
one thing at a time?
418
00:19:40,776 --> 00:19:43,574
Take the rest of the day and
get your waiver, Mr. McCoy.
419
00:19:43,646 --> 00:19:45,238
We're in recess.
420
00:19:45,781 --> 00:19:47,078
For a two-legged pacifier,
421
00:19:47,149 --> 00:19:49,913
Duval kept pretty good
notes on his patients.
422
00:19:49,985 --> 00:19:52,112
Ellison hated Eddie Newman
423
00:19:52,388 --> 00:19:54,219
and she was afraid of him.
424
00:19:54,290 --> 00:19:56,258
Heidi Ellison's sexual history.
425
00:19:56,325 --> 00:19:59,488
Fifteen years in Hollywood,
I can only imagine.
426
00:19:59,795 --> 00:20:02,059
She slept with
one of her assistants.
427
00:20:03,399 --> 00:20:05,060
We've heard that before.
428
00:20:06,702 --> 00:20:09,103
The Mattawin Studios
executive committee tape.
429
00:20:12,008 --> 00:20:13,737
"Ben Hollings.
'Heidi harassed?
430
00:20:13,810 --> 00:20:16,938
"'T hat's a joke. She slept with
one of her own male assistants.'"
431
00:20:19,115 --> 00:20:20,911
You think she told Hollings?
432
00:20:20,983 --> 00:20:22,473
No, I don't.
433
00:20:22,551 --> 00:20:23,985
Then who did?
434
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:33,791
Duval's notes on a therapy session
two days before Heidi died.
435
00:20:33,863 --> 00:20:37,822
They discussed whether she should
testify in the sexual harassment suit.
436
00:20:39,036 --> 00:20:40,663
She decided not to.
437
00:20:40,738 --> 00:20:42,603
Not even the plaintiffs'
lawyers knew that.
438
00:20:42,673 --> 00:20:45,334
Only Heidi Ellison
and Dr. Duval.
439
00:20:46,176 --> 00:20:48,701
And the top executives
at Mattawin Studios.
440
00:20:49,212 --> 00:20:51,112
I've been fired, you know.
441
00:20:52,248 --> 00:20:56,379
I think my secretary put that tape
in the discovery box to screw me.
442
00:20:56,454 --> 00:20:57,819
I'm sorry.
443
00:20:58,255 --> 00:21:01,349
You told me you knew Heidi Ellison
had decided not to testify.
444
00:21:01,425 --> 00:21:02,483
Right.
445
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,357
And you thought
I was lying, didn't you?
446
00:21:04,428 --> 00:21:05,452
Yes.
447
00:21:05,529 --> 00:21:08,259
Now I know you weren't.
Who told you?
448
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,124
Ben Hollings.
449
00:21:11,502 --> 00:21:13,367
He almost bragged about it.
450
00:21:13,671 --> 00:21:16,071
He said
Heidi had been "handled."
451
00:21:17,341 --> 00:21:19,468
I have no idea what he meant.
452
00:21:20,444 --> 00:21:22,139
Say it again, slowly.
453
00:21:22,213 --> 00:21:26,014
Ben Hollings was afraid Heidi
Ellison would testify against him.
454
00:21:26,618 --> 00:21:29,314
She talked about it with Dan
Duval and decided not to.
455
00:21:29,388 --> 00:21:31,356
And Hollings
found out immediately.
456
00:21:31,423 --> 00:21:32,947
And bragged that
he had her "handled."
457
00:21:33,024 --> 00:21:36,618
And he had personal information
on her from her psychiatric file.
458
00:21:36,927 --> 00:21:40,261
I assume that psychiatrist and Mr.
Hollings were acquainted.
459
00:21:40,332 --> 00:21:43,130
He's on the Mattawin Studios
payroll as a consultant.
460
00:21:43,402 --> 00:21:45,165
$3,000 a week.
461
00:21:45,237 --> 00:21:47,865
You think that Heidi
Ellison knew what was going on?
462
00:21:47,939 --> 00:21:49,304
I don't know.
463
00:21:50,041 --> 00:21:53,807
Well, if she did,
got a new murder suspect now?
464
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:56,346
Duval is not a suspect.
He was on a plane to LA
465
00:21:56,416 --> 00:21:58,884
while Eddie Newman was
dumping a barong in Islip.
466
00:21:58,951 --> 00:22:01,249
I'm sure the defense
will be happy to tell you
467
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,981
how Duval tossed it
out his airplane window.
468
00:22:04,055 --> 00:22:05,522
Why give them that chance?
469
00:22:05,590 --> 00:22:06,852
This whole thing's
just a dead end.
470
00:22:06,925 --> 00:22:08,916
None of it
has to go to the defense.
471
00:22:08,994 --> 00:22:12,294
It is one of the basic principles
of our system that the prosecution
472
00:22:12,365 --> 00:22:15,300
must provide the defense
with any evidence it possesses
473
00:22:15,368 --> 00:22:17,393
pointing to the innocence
of the accused.
474
00:22:17,470 --> 00:22:20,997
That the District Attorney has such
evidence but has failed to turn it over...
475
00:22:21,073 --> 00:22:23,473
How do you know that, Mr.
Gorton? That doesn't matter.
476
00:22:23,543 --> 00:22:25,205
What matters is what
we don't know
477
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:26,940
because of the duplicity
of the prosecutors.
478
00:22:27,014 --> 00:22:28,605
Mr. McCoy,
what about this evidence?
479
00:22:28,681 --> 00:22:29,909
Are you gonna turn it over?
480
00:22:29,982 --> 00:22:32,849
We're going to do everything
that the law requires.
481
00:22:32,919 --> 00:22:34,910
What about this evidence,
Mr. McCoy?
482
00:22:34,987 --> 00:22:36,852
It doesn't come close
to meeting the standard
483
00:22:36,923 --> 00:22:38,254
of Brady v. Maryland,
Your Honor,
484
00:22:38,324 --> 00:22:41,158
since it is not material
to the guilt of the defendant.
485
00:22:41,228 --> 00:22:43,696
Someone other than the defendant
threatens to murder Ms. Ellison?
486
00:22:43,764 --> 00:22:45,595
Someone else has a compelling
motive to kill her?
487
00:22:45,666 --> 00:22:46,758
I'd say that's damn material.
488
00:22:46,834 --> 00:22:50,463
I assume Mr. Gorton is referring to Mr.
Hollings and Dr. Duval,
489
00:22:50,537 --> 00:22:52,801
neither of whom could have
possibly committed this crime.
490
00:22:52,873 --> 00:22:55,136
Thank you, Ms. Ross, but I
prefer to do my own analysis.
491
00:22:55,208 --> 00:22:56,335
At the very least,
492
00:22:56,410 --> 00:22:59,811
materials should be submitted to
you for an in camera inspection.
493
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,678
That would be the Mattawin
Studios tape recording
494
00:23:02,749 --> 00:23:05,274
and Dr. Duval's records of his
sessions with Heidi Ellison?
495
00:23:05,352 --> 00:23:06,876
It's a waste of time.
496
00:23:06,954 --> 00:23:08,717
I'm not busy tonight.
497
00:23:08,989 --> 00:23:11,390
Have the materials
to me by 5:00.
498
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:13,618
I'll hear additional
arguments tomorrow morning.
499
00:23:16,097 --> 00:23:18,258
Here are the rest
of the cases, Mr. McCoy.
500
00:23:18,333 --> 00:23:19,594
Thanks...
501
00:23:19,666 --> 00:23:21,065
Good luck.
502
00:23:22,536 --> 00:23:24,003
For nothing.
503
00:23:24,671 --> 00:23:28,335
Every decision with the word
"Brady" in it since 1963.
504
00:23:28,409 --> 00:23:30,434
She could have
narrowed the search.
505
00:23:31,246 --> 00:23:33,237
Apparently she couldn't.
506
00:23:34,449 --> 00:23:38,476
We can forget about Novoa and Gonzalez
, they're broad and pro defense.
507
00:23:38,553 --> 00:23:39,986
What about Simmons?
508
00:23:40,054 --> 00:23:42,216
It specifically mentions
exculpatory evidence.
509
00:23:42,291 --> 00:23:44,623
There's no reason to believe
this evidence is exculpatory.
510
00:23:44,693 --> 00:23:47,525
Neal will come back with Gonzalez.
He always comes back with Gonzalez.
511
00:23:47,595 --> 00:23:50,689
"The District Attorney must turn over
any evidence that might be exculpatory
512
00:23:50,765 --> 00:23:52,027
"even if he
believes it is not."
513
00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:53,294
Then I go to McMullen.
514
00:23:53,368 --> 00:23:56,896
I only have to turn over " that which is
likely to affect the judgment of the jury."
515
00:23:56,972 --> 00:24:00,840
Be careful how far you go with that, or he'll
slap you in the face with Jones.
516
00:24:01,176 --> 00:24:04,077
God, look at the time.
I've gotta go.
517
00:24:04,813 --> 00:24:06,337
We're not quite done here.
518
00:24:06,415 --> 00:24:07,973
I shouldn't have been away
from Katie this long.
519
00:24:08,050 --> 00:24:09,745
I'm due in family court
in three days.
520
00:24:09,818 --> 00:24:12,616
We have to go back
to Judge Callahan in 12 hours.
521
00:24:12,688 --> 00:24:14,883
I'm sorry.
Where are your priorities?
522
00:24:14,957 --> 00:24:16,857
If Gorton gets
a hold of this stuff,
523
00:24:16,926 --> 00:24:19,554
he'll come up with some cockamamie
alternate theory of the crime.
524
00:24:19,628 --> 00:24:20,856
A murderer could walk free.
525
00:24:20,930 --> 00:24:22,192
And I could lose my daughter.
526
00:24:22,264 --> 00:24:23,891
You know what, Jack?
That's an easy decision.
527
00:24:23,966 --> 00:24:26,025
Not for an assistant
district attorney!
528
00:24:26,101 --> 00:24:27,729
Fine, I quit.
529
00:24:29,873 --> 00:24:32,569
People v.
McMullen says we only have to turn over
530
00:24:32,642 --> 00:24:35,770
that which is likely to affect
the judgment of the jury.
531
00:24:35,845 --> 00:24:39,678
I'm still at a loss to imagine how
this material would accomplish that.
532
00:24:39,748 --> 00:24:43,549
People v. Jones addresses the issue of Mr.
McCoy's imagination.
533
00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:47,283
"It is not for the District
Attorney to speculate unilaterally
534
00:24:47,357 --> 00:24:49,917
"as to what evidence would be
helpful to the defendant."
535
00:24:49,993 --> 00:24:52,553
All right, Mr. Gorton,
let's speculate with him.
536
00:24:52,629 --> 00:24:55,393
How is this material likely to
affect the judgment of the jury?
537
00:24:55,465 --> 00:24:56,625
Very simply.
538
00:24:56,700 --> 00:24:59,329
It provides a basis for an
alternate theory of the crime.
539
00:24:59,403 --> 00:25:01,927
That Heidi Ellison was murdered by Dr.
Dan Duval.
540
00:25:02,005 --> 00:25:04,303
Her therapist?
I demand an offer of proof.
541
00:25:04,374 --> 00:25:06,342
She found out
he'd betrayed her confidences.
542
00:25:06,409 --> 00:25:08,104
She threatened to expose him
543
00:25:08,178 --> 00:25:09,907
and destroy his standing
in the Hollywood community.
544
00:25:09,980 --> 00:25:11,072
He killed her.
545
00:25:12,583 --> 00:25:14,073
Order. Order.
546
00:25:14,151 --> 00:25:15,675
Order. Order.
547
00:25:18,089 --> 00:25:20,080
Mr. Gorton, this theory
of yours is based on...
548
00:25:20,157 --> 00:25:21,954
The evidence
you received last night.
549
00:25:22,026 --> 00:25:24,654
Supported by the testimony of,
among others, Eddie Newman.
550
00:25:24,729 --> 00:25:26,356
Who has every reason to lie.
551
00:25:26,430 --> 00:25:28,193
A man is on trial for his life.
552
00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:29,823
I can't think
of more likely grounds
553
00:25:29,900 --> 00:25:31,367
for overturning
a guilty verdict
554
00:25:31,435 --> 00:25:32,993
than denying him
the defense of his choice.
555
00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:34,094
I'll take that chance.
556
00:25:34,171 --> 00:25:36,401
A reversal wouldn't blemish
your record, Mr. McCoy.
557
00:25:36,474 --> 00:25:38,339
If you don't like
his theory, rebut it.
558
00:25:39,377 --> 00:25:43,712
I order disclosure of all evidence and
all materials sought by the defense.
559
00:25:43,782 --> 00:25:45,943
They're in my chambers, Mr.
Gorton. Come by anytime.
560
00:25:50,789 --> 00:25:52,984
Your Honor, my client
and his ex-wife worked out
561
00:25:53,058 --> 00:25:54,820
a detailed custody arrangement.
562
00:25:54,892 --> 00:25:57,987
I've never seen one that specified which
television programs the child can watch.
563
00:25:58,063 --> 00:26:00,691
Mr. Gorton is very concerned
about Katie's well-being.
564
00:26:00,766 --> 00:26:03,701
He never contested primary custody
during the divorce proceedings...
565
00:26:03,769 --> 00:26:05,066
Because Ms. Ross assured him
566
00:26:05,137 --> 00:26:07,230
she would spend the requisite
number of hours with the client.
567
00:26:07,305 --> 00:26:10,297
And he never sought it, until Ms.
Ross began prosecuting one of his clients.
568
00:26:10,375 --> 00:26:12,172
Counselors, be quiet.
569
00:26:13,078 --> 00:26:14,876
Ms. Ross, Mr. Gorton.
570
00:26:20,752 --> 00:26:22,811
So, you're both working?
571
00:26:22,888 --> 00:26:26,585
I'm in private practice with
five partners and 16 associates.
572
00:26:26,658 --> 00:26:28,182
My schedule is flexible.
573
00:26:28,260 --> 00:26:30,889
I've quit my job.
I'll be looking for one with shorter hours.
574
00:26:30,963 --> 00:26:32,157
An empty promise.
She's made it before.
575
00:26:32,231 --> 00:26:33,926
Katie has lived
with me her entire life.
576
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,298
Mr. Gorton is a weekend father.
I am her mother.
577
00:26:36,369 --> 00:26:38,064
Mothers no longer
get automatic preference.
578
00:26:38,137 --> 00:26:42,005
I get a whiff here of something
other than concern for the child.
579
00:26:42,108 --> 00:26:43,838
You two try to work this out.
580
00:26:43,911 --> 00:26:45,810
If you don't, I can't guarantee
that what I come up with
581
00:26:45,878 --> 00:26:47,869
will make
either one of you happy.
582
00:26:47,947 --> 00:26:49,539
We're adjourned.
583
00:26:49,615 --> 00:26:50,980
I'm sure going
to miss seeing you in court.
584
00:26:55,588 --> 00:26:58,888
How would I know what Heidi
Ellison might have said?
585
00:26:59,526 --> 00:27:02,359
Well, how did she react to
that tabloid newspaper story
586
00:27:02,429 --> 00:27:04,056
about her affair
with the actor Derek Morrow?
587
00:27:04,131 --> 00:27:06,395
She was furious,
and rightly so.
588
00:27:06,467 --> 00:27:10,130
The article implied that the affair
affected her business judgment.
589
00:27:10,203 --> 00:27:12,694
Wouldn't she have been even
more furious at the discovery
590
00:27:12,772 --> 00:27:16,140
that her psychiatrist was peddling her
confidences on Hollywood Boulevard?
591
00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:20,613
Objection. There's no evidence Ms.
Ellison was aware of any such alleged impropriety.
592
00:27:20,681 --> 00:27:23,149
Sustained.
Move on, Mr. Gorton.
593
00:27:25,786 --> 00:27:29,621
So, Ms. Heiss, as far as you know,
Heidi Ellison was not aware
594
00:27:29,691 --> 00:27:32,057
that Ben Hollings had hired
Dr. Duval to spy on her.
595
00:27:32,127 --> 00:27:33,116
That's right.
596
00:27:33,194 --> 00:27:35,662
And you were a very loyal
employee to Ms. Ellison.
597
00:27:35,730 --> 00:27:37,196
I hope I was.
598
00:27:37,264 --> 00:27:38,822
Whose loyal employee
are you now?
599
00:27:38,899 --> 00:27:41,060
I still work
for Mattawin Studios.
600
00:27:41,135 --> 00:27:42,534
For Ben Hollings?
601
00:27:42,603 --> 00:27:43,968
Indirectly.
602
00:27:44,037 --> 00:27:45,437
That's nice.
603
00:27:48,109 --> 00:27:50,634
In the four years that you
worked with Heidi Ellison,
604
00:27:50,712 --> 00:27:53,738
did you ever hear her say a
bad word about Dr. Duval?
605
00:27:53,815 --> 00:27:57,046
No. Up to and including
the day she was killed?
606
00:27:57,452 --> 00:27:58,817
No.
607
00:27:58,887 --> 00:28:00,014
Thank you.
608
00:28:02,457 --> 00:28:04,254
Redirect, Your Honor.
609
00:28:06,261 --> 00:28:10,197
Ms. Heiss, what other spies in her
employ was Heidi Ellison unaware of?
610
00:28:10,265 --> 00:28:13,063
I don't think anybody
was spying on Heidi.
611
00:28:13,134 --> 00:28:14,693
What about you?
612
00:28:15,271 --> 00:28:16,260
Me.
613
00:28:16,338 --> 00:28:17,464
You.
614
00:28:18,541 --> 00:28:20,008
What's this?
615
00:28:21,177 --> 00:28:25,546
Is it a check made out to you in the amount
of $10,000 from the National Tattler,
616
00:28:25,614 --> 00:28:28,673
dated one week after their
Derek Morrow story appeared?
617
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:30,844
Objection. What possible
relevance does this have?
618
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,787
One spy on Heidi Ellison might
cover up the discovery of another.
619
00:28:33,856 --> 00:28:35,949
The objection is overruled.
620
00:28:36,225 --> 00:28:37,954
Answer his question,
Ms. Heiss.
621
00:28:40,162 --> 00:28:43,359
You don't understand.
I needed the money.
622
00:28:47,771 --> 00:28:49,068
Ms. Heiss.
623
00:28:52,709 --> 00:28:55,541
You never told Ms. Ellison
what you had done, did you?
624
00:28:55,611 --> 00:28:56,635
No.
625
00:28:56,712 --> 00:28:59,943
Because she would have destroyed
your career, wouldn't she?
626
00:29:00,015 --> 00:29:01,040
Yes.
627
00:29:01,117 --> 00:29:05,451
Just as she would have ruined Dr.
Duval if she'd known what he had done.
628
00:29:24,574 --> 00:29:26,508
You're making me dizzy.
629
00:29:27,677 --> 00:29:29,542
We're getting creamed.
630
00:29:29,913 --> 00:29:33,680
It's nice that you and the media
finally agree on something.
631
00:29:33,751 --> 00:29:35,082
The media.
632
00:29:36,020 --> 00:29:40,616
There are reporters working full time
digging up dirt on Hollings and Duval,
633
00:29:41,092 --> 00:29:43,322
making Gorton's case for him.
634
00:29:43,594 --> 00:29:47,121
You're scared of some tabloid hacks?
Or is it Gorton?
635
00:29:49,367 --> 00:29:53,770
He has an army of associates, racking
up billable hours in two time zones.
636
00:29:53,838 --> 00:29:57,365
It'll take Jamie's replacement at
least a week just to get up to speed.
637
00:29:57,441 --> 00:30:01,572
Gorton whispers the word "appeal,"
and the judge chokes on his gavel.
638
00:30:03,916 --> 00:30:06,544
Murder two,
15-to-life, I'll be happy.
639
00:30:08,487 --> 00:30:12,115
I'm not ready to concede victory
to Eddie Newman's wallet.
640
00:30:13,858 --> 00:30:15,519
But I need some help.
641
00:30:15,593 --> 00:30:19,325
Call Ms. Ross.
Maybe you could share the babysitting.
642
00:30:21,733 --> 00:30:23,291
Katie, honey, you go upstairs
and start your video,
643
00:30:23,368 --> 00:30:24,528
and I'll be up
in a second, okay?
644
00:30:24,603 --> 00:30:25,627
Okay.
645
00:30:25,704 --> 00:30:26,693
Bye.
646
00:30:28,073 --> 00:30:29,472
Have a seat.
647
00:30:30,008 --> 00:30:31,977
I don't have
a lot of time, Jamie.
648
00:30:32,045 --> 00:30:33,342
We've been over this.
649
00:30:33,413 --> 00:30:35,074
You know Gorton
better than anyone.
650
00:30:35,148 --> 00:30:36,171
Jack.
651
00:30:36,248 --> 00:30:39,046
He's doing everything
you loathe to win,
652
00:30:39,785 --> 00:30:42,413
and he's getting away with it
because he scammed you.
653
00:30:42,487 --> 00:30:46,014
I am afraid if I look away for
one minute, he'll take her.
654
00:30:46,091 --> 00:30:47,116
The first week
we worked together,
655
00:30:47,193 --> 00:30:50,458
you told me you believed in monsters
and things that go bump in the night.
656
00:30:50,530 --> 00:30:53,021
You said they should rot in
hell, along with their lawyers.
657
00:30:53,099 --> 00:30:55,124
Eddie Newman is a monster.
658
00:30:58,171 --> 00:31:00,833
I can't send him to hell
without you.
659
00:31:07,013 --> 00:31:09,607
Heidi harassed?
That's a joke, right?
660
00:31:10,016 --> 00:31:12,450
She slept with one of her
own male assistants.
661
00:31:12,518 --> 00:31:14,713
We still have
to deal with the eventuality.
662
00:31:14,787 --> 00:31:16,755
I'll tell you...
663
00:31:16,823 --> 00:31:21,124
Mr. Hollings, how did you know Heidi
Ellison slept with her assistant?
664
00:31:21,962 --> 00:31:23,623
Dr. Duval told me.
665
00:31:24,098 --> 00:31:27,123
He breached the confidentiality of
the patient-doctor relationship
666
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,997
to tell you
her intimate secrets?
667
00:31:29,068 --> 00:31:30,865
I don't know what he breached.
668
00:31:30,937 --> 00:31:33,031
His ethics weren't my concern.
669
00:31:33,107 --> 00:31:34,335
Nor his, apparently.
670
00:31:35,042 --> 00:31:37,670
Did he quote handle unquote
Ms. Ellison for you
671
00:31:37,745 --> 00:31:39,679
by convincing her
not to testify against you?
672
00:31:39,747 --> 00:31:40,736
Yes.
673
00:31:40,814 --> 00:31:41,803
Why did he do this?
674
00:31:41,882 --> 00:31:42,906
For money.
675
00:31:42,983 --> 00:31:48,718
His consulting fee, plus I optioned
a screenplay he wrote for $100,000.
676
00:31:49,157 --> 00:31:50,249
Why so much?
677
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:52,417
He said he was taking a chance.
678
00:31:52,493 --> 00:31:55,929
If somebody found out what he
was doing, he'd be ruined.
679
00:32:04,806 --> 00:32:06,330
Mr. Hollings,
680
00:32:07,242 --> 00:32:09,403
Dr. Duval
handled Heidi Ellison
681
00:32:09,477 --> 00:32:13,106
without her being aware of what
was going on, isn't that right?
682
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:14,512
That was the idea.
683
00:32:14,582 --> 00:32:18,348
Because if she knew what he was
doing, the plan wouldn't work.
684
00:32:18,420 --> 00:32:19,580
I wouldn't think so.
685
00:32:19,654 --> 00:32:21,246
But the plan did work,
didn't it?
686
00:32:21,322 --> 00:32:24,052
Yes. She decided
not to testify.
687
00:32:24,959 --> 00:32:26,290
Thank you.
688
00:32:27,529 --> 00:32:29,224
Jamie found the flaw
in their theory,
689
00:32:29,297 --> 00:32:30,730
and drew a big
red circle around it.
690
00:32:30,799 --> 00:32:33,701
Yeah. It's a good start.
I wish it were enough.
691
00:32:33,769 --> 00:32:35,031
Look what Gorton's done.
692
00:32:35,938 --> 00:32:40,602
The jury sees Ms. Ellison surrounded
by backstabbers and megalomaniacs.
693
00:32:41,243 --> 00:32:42,676
The usual Hollywood crowd.
694
00:32:42,745 --> 00:32:46,840
Any of whom the jury could
reasonably believe killed her.
695
00:32:47,148 --> 00:32:49,583
Only Eddie Newman's
capable of it.
696
00:32:50,019 --> 00:32:52,886
When he takes the stand, I'll try
to get the jury to see that, too.
697
00:32:52,955 --> 00:32:55,150
It won't be that easy.
I know the drill.
698
00:32:55,224 --> 00:32:58,125
Gorton's put Newman through boot camp.
Mock juries,
699
00:32:58,194 --> 00:33:02,187
rehearsed cross examinations by
former prosecutors on videotape,
700
00:33:02,565 --> 00:33:05,592
keeping eye contact with the
jury, what tie to wear.
701
00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:10,162
If she's right, you better bring
something besides your boyish charm.
702
00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:17,611
I had a couple of drinks
at the restaurant.
703
00:33:18,514 --> 00:33:19,539
I was feeling pretty buzzed,
704
00:33:19,616 --> 00:33:21,174
and I wanted
to go to see Heidi.
705
00:33:21,251 --> 00:33:24,687
Dan, Dr. Duval,
said he'd come along.
706
00:33:24,988 --> 00:33:27,548
And what happened when you and he
got to your ex-wife's apartment?
707
00:33:27,624 --> 00:33:30,559
I had a new draft
of the Madame Bovary script.
708
00:33:30,627 --> 00:33:32,356
I thought Heidi
might change her mind,
709
00:33:32,429 --> 00:33:36,729
but she didn't even hear what I was saying.
She just laced into Dr. Duval.
710
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,824
About what?
711
00:33:37,901 --> 00:33:39,095
I didn't really
quite follow it.
712
00:33:39,169 --> 00:33:43,196
Something about calling his patients,
something about suing him.
713
00:33:43,273 --> 00:33:45,298
I wasn't feeling too good.
714
00:33:45,876 --> 00:33:48,970
I had a glass of scotch
from Heidi's bar,
715
00:33:49,046 --> 00:33:51,139
Dr. Duval gave me
a couple of tranquilizers.
716
00:33:52,416 --> 00:33:54,145
What happened next?
717
00:33:56,354 --> 00:34:00,949
Heidi was yelling,
and he was yelling,
718
00:34:02,392 --> 00:34:04,384
and I felt very tired.
719
00:34:05,463 --> 00:34:08,398
The next thing I knew
I woke up on the bed.
720
00:34:08,833 --> 00:34:10,323
Was Dr. Duval
still there?
721
00:34:10,401 --> 00:34:11,629
Yeah.
722
00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:14,197
And so was Heidi.
723
00:34:14,472 --> 00:34:17,771
And she was lying next to me
with a big gash in her head.
724
00:34:17,842 --> 00:34:21,609
She wasn't moving, and Dr.
Duval told me that I had done it.
725
00:34:22,748 --> 00:34:23,942
And you believed him?
726
00:34:24,016 --> 00:34:25,210
Yes.
727
00:34:28,953 --> 00:34:31,080
I have blackouts sometimes.
728
00:34:32,690 --> 00:34:34,521
What did you do next?
729
00:34:36,261 --> 00:34:40,925
I panicked.
I didn't wanna get caught.
730
00:34:42,434 --> 00:34:47,770
And Dr. Duval told me
that if I cut her up,
731
00:34:47,839 --> 00:34:49,136
if I got rid of the body,
732
00:34:49,208 --> 00:34:50,972
everybody would think
it was some kind of lunatic,
733
00:34:51,044 --> 00:34:53,136
that I'd be safe.
734
00:34:54,846 --> 00:34:57,076
He told me exactly what to do.
735
00:34:57,149 --> 00:34:59,140
He told you where to
dispose of her body parts?
736
00:34:59,218 --> 00:35:00,207
Yes.
737
00:35:01,987 --> 00:35:05,549
And her clothes and her rings.
738
00:35:08,828 --> 00:35:12,320
On the plane, when I was
looking at Heidi's ring, I...
739
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:18,034
The one I gave her.
I couldn't believe what I had done.
740
00:35:21,107 --> 00:35:22,870
I still loved her.
741
00:35:22,942 --> 00:35:24,341
Your witness.
742
00:35:27,013 --> 00:35:29,106
Your grief might be
a little more convincing, sir,
743
00:35:29,182 --> 00:35:32,743
if you hadn't just admitted
you cut off your wife's head.
744
00:35:33,152 --> 00:35:34,414
Objection.
745
00:35:34,487 --> 00:35:35,785
Withdrawn.
746
00:35:36,991 --> 00:35:38,356
Mr. Newman.
747
00:35:41,061 --> 00:35:42,187
Mr. Newman?
748
00:35:43,763 --> 00:35:46,459
How long did it take
you to cut her up?
749
00:35:49,502 --> 00:35:52,768
I don't remember.
I was in a daze.
750
00:35:59,380 --> 00:36:02,076
Please show us
how you held the barong.
751
00:36:08,690 --> 00:36:10,816
I told you,
I don't remember. I...
752
00:36:11,325 --> 00:36:14,783
I was high on drugs, I was out
of my mind with fear and grief.
753
00:36:14,862 --> 00:36:17,592
I'd just been told
I killed someone I loved.
754
00:36:17,665 --> 00:36:21,568
Did Mr. Gorton warn you I'd put
the murder weapon in your hand?
755
00:36:21,936 --> 00:36:23,597
It's an old prosecutor's trick.
756
00:36:23,672 --> 00:36:25,401
Objection. Relevance?
757
00:36:26,408 --> 00:36:28,308
I'll allow it.
758
00:36:28,376 --> 00:36:29,400
Yes.
759
00:36:29,477 --> 00:36:32,776
During one of your prep
sessions for today's testimony?
760
00:36:32,847 --> 00:36:37,045
Maybe while you were watching a videotape
of yourself practicing your story?
761
00:36:37,118 --> 00:36:38,608
No, I...
762
00:36:40,121 --> 00:36:41,179
Yes.
763
00:36:41,790 --> 00:36:45,920
Was that when you rehearsed maintaining
eye contact with the jury?
764
00:36:46,328 --> 00:36:49,092
Mr. Gorton told you to
do that, didn't he? Yes.
765
00:36:49,164 --> 00:36:50,597
Did he also tell you
766
00:36:50,665 --> 00:36:53,396
to suddenly remember
this alleged argument
767
00:36:53,469 --> 00:36:55,903
between your former wife
and Dr. Duval?
768
00:36:55,971 --> 00:36:58,235
No. I always remembered that.
769
00:36:58,541 --> 00:37:00,371
You just never thought
it was important?
770
00:37:00,442 --> 00:37:02,376
Well, I didn't know
everything then.
771
00:37:02,444 --> 00:37:05,208
But now Mr. Gorton
has filled you in?
772
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,943
He told me to tell the truth.
773
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:17,015
Then let's try this again.
774
00:37:18,694 --> 00:37:21,527
Please show us
how you butchered your wife.
775
00:37:30,406 --> 00:37:31,395
Take it.
776
00:37:37,247 --> 00:37:40,705
One hand or two hands,
Mr. Newman?
777
00:37:42,519 --> 00:37:44,009
Two hands.
778
00:37:44,087 --> 00:37:45,281
Show us.
779
00:37:48,125 --> 00:37:50,184
How many times did you
strike Heidi's neck?
780
00:37:50,260 --> 00:37:51,522
I'm not sure.
781
00:37:51,594 --> 00:37:55,190
The Medical Examiner testified
there were two blows to the neck.
782
00:37:55,265 --> 00:37:57,893
Did you do that?
Yes, that's possible.
783
00:37:57,968 --> 00:37:59,230
You were very angry,
weren't you?
784
00:37:59,302 --> 00:38:00,360
No, what do you mean?
785
00:38:00,437 --> 00:38:02,803
The Medical Examiner testified
786
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,142
you struck her with such force,
you took her head clean off.
787
00:38:07,210 --> 00:38:08,235
I don't know.
788
00:38:08,312 --> 00:38:11,804
The same with her hands
and her feet.
789
00:38:11,883 --> 00:38:13,544
You were in a rage.
No.
790
00:38:13,618 --> 00:38:16,883
And you had plenty to be angry
at her for, didn't you?
791
00:38:16,954 --> 00:38:18,648
She was keeping you
from making a movie.
792
00:38:18,722 --> 00:38:20,485
It was just a movie.
793
00:38:20,557 --> 00:38:24,050
Just a movie that you had been
trying to get made for five years?
794
00:38:24,128 --> 00:38:26,153
It wasn't that important.
795
00:38:27,064 --> 00:38:30,158
Eight years ago,
you won an honorable mention
796
00:38:30,401 --> 00:38:32,767
from the New York Film
Festival, isn't that right?
797
00:38:32,837 --> 00:38:34,771
Yes, for my film
Crooked Street.
798
00:38:34,839 --> 00:38:40,278
The critics said your " daring foray
into a new American Neorealism
799
00:38:40,345 --> 00:38:45,577
"marked you as one of the most promising
artists of the American cinema."
800
00:38:45,983 --> 00:38:47,450
That's right.
801
00:38:50,254 --> 00:38:53,224
What's your current
movie about, Mr. Newman?
802
00:38:54,226 --> 00:38:55,454
Talking bears?
803
00:38:55,527 --> 00:38:56,585
Yes.
804
00:38:56,662 --> 00:39:00,359
A daring Neorealist foray
into Jellystone Park?
805
00:39:00,899 --> 00:39:03,595
Does that fulfill your
promise as an artist? No.
806
00:39:03,669 --> 00:39:07,161
Heidi Ellison was keeping you from
fulfilling that promise, wasn't she?
807
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,706
Not just her.
808
00:39:08,774 --> 00:39:10,605
Do you know what kind of
crap they wanted me to make?
809
00:39:10,676 --> 00:39:12,473
But especially her.
810
00:39:12,578 --> 00:39:14,375
She could have let you make
Madame Bovary, couldn't she?
811
00:39:14,446 --> 00:39:15,606
Yes.
But she didn't, did she?
812
00:39:15,681 --> 00:39:17,478
She gave me a choice.
813
00:39:17,716 --> 00:39:21,447
The bears or a picture about a
dog who's granted three wishes.
814
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:22,817
I couldn't believe it.
815
00:39:22,888 --> 00:39:24,413
You couldn't believe what,
Mr. Newman?
816
00:39:24,491 --> 00:39:28,757
I had an actress, a bankable actress,
who was attached to Bovary,
817
00:39:28,995 --> 00:39:33,022
but Heidi gives her $12 million
to do an asteroid movie instead,
818
00:39:33,099 --> 00:39:35,692
because our marriage
didn't work out.
819
00:39:36,502 --> 00:39:39,666
That vindictive bitch.
I could've made something...
820
00:39:55,489 --> 00:40:00,084
Dr. Dan Duval had a motive.
He had opportunity.
821
00:40:01,094 --> 00:40:04,621
And he had a confused, dependent
patient to manipulate,
822
00:40:04,797 --> 00:40:07,391
just as he manipulated
Heidi Ellison.
823
00:40:09,870 --> 00:40:12,668
Now, maybe some of you
aren't convinced.
824
00:40:13,674 --> 00:40:16,370
It doesn't say anywhere
that you have to be convinced.
825
00:40:16,443 --> 00:40:19,412
All you have to have
is a reasonable doubt.
826
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,849
Somebody else might have
committed the crime.
827
00:40:25,753 --> 00:40:28,813
Reasonable doubt,
ladies and gentlemen.
828
00:40:30,391 --> 00:40:33,451
If you have it,
you must acquit.
829
00:40:34,762 --> 00:40:37,162
Everyone likes a good story.
830
00:40:37,998 --> 00:40:41,901
Eddie Newman has made a career
of putting stories on film.
831
00:40:42,938 --> 00:40:47,272
And the defense in this case
has told you a very good story
832
00:40:48,843 --> 00:40:51,107
about a sleazy psychiatrist
833
00:40:51,712 --> 00:40:54,306
and a man who believed
he'd committed a murder,
834
00:40:54,381 --> 00:40:56,907
but recently realized
that he didn't.
835
00:40:58,019 --> 00:41:02,683
What actually happened here is less
complicated and far more sordid.
836
00:41:04,492 --> 00:41:08,189
A bitter, angry man
viciously killed his ex-wife,
837
00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:13,127
dismembered her while she was still
alive, and then lied about it.
838
00:41:13,936 --> 00:41:16,700
There's no clever twist
to the plot.
839
00:41:17,939 --> 00:41:21,705
It's just the messy,
ugly truth.
840
00:41:27,817 --> 00:41:32,652
Mr. Gorton has appealed to what
he calls reasonable doubt.
841
00:41:33,356 --> 00:41:36,382
But reasonable doubt
is not any doubt.
842
00:41:40,197 --> 00:41:43,256
God has given you all
the gift of common sense.
843
00:41:43,332 --> 00:41:44,560
Use it.
844
00:41:47,236 --> 00:41:51,536
Eddie Newman used this weapon
845
00:41:53,109 --> 00:41:57,672
to hack to death, not the
woman he claimed he loved,
846
00:41:59,016 --> 00:42:01,883
but the woman
he calls a vindictive bitch.
847
00:42:03,787 --> 00:42:05,846
Find him guilty of murder.
848
00:42:38,422 --> 00:42:41,620
Madam Forewoman, has
the jury reached a verdict?
849
00:42:41,826 --> 00:42:43,555
Yes,
Your Honor, we have.
850
00:42:43,628 --> 00:42:46,028
Will the defendant
please rise?
851
00:42:47,031 --> 00:42:50,432
On the sole count of the indictment,
murder in the first degree,
852
00:42:50,501 --> 00:42:52,435
how does the jury find?
853
00:42:52,503 --> 00:42:55,939
We, the jury, find the defendant
Edward Newman guilty.
854
00:43:17,663 --> 00:43:18,823
You beat me.
855
00:43:18,897 --> 00:43:20,057
Not where it counts.
856
00:43:20,132 --> 00:43:23,226
Family court?
I'm ready to cry uncle there, too.
857
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:28,031
A letter to Judge Barone,
withdrawing my custody motion.
858
00:43:34,947 --> 00:43:35,971
It's not signed.
859
00:43:36,048 --> 00:43:38,175
I'll sign it as soon
as McCoy announces
860
00:43:38,250 --> 00:43:40,241
he won't seek the death
penalty for Eddie Newman.
861
00:43:42,155 --> 00:43:43,520
You're a bastard.
862
00:43:43,590 --> 00:43:45,785
I'm a zealous advocate
for my client.
863
00:43:46,126 --> 00:43:47,821
I'm trying to save his life.
864
00:43:47,894 --> 00:43:52,557
The People of the State of New York will
decide what's right for your client.
865
00:43:52,731 --> 00:43:56,930
Neal, all these years, and you still
don't know anything about me.
866
00:43:59,072 --> 00:44:00,300
Jamie.
867
00:44:15,489 --> 00:44:17,820
Yeah, the property clerk's
been dying to get this back.
868
00:44:17,891 --> 00:44:19,722
I think he makes
his sandwiches with it.
869
00:44:19,793 --> 00:44:22,023
Guilty and the death penalty.
870
00:44:22,095 --> 00:44:23,960
You know, I thought
he was gonna walk.
871
00:44:24,030 --> 00:44:25,588
Anybody wanna
go out for a drink?
872
00:44:25,665 --> 00:44:27,634
Not me. I'm gonna have
supper with my wife.
873
00:44:27,701 --> 00:44:32,104
Yeah. And I've got a date.
She's no Lisa Lundquist, but she's all right.
874
00:44:34,208 --> 00:44:35,835
I know.
Dinner with Katie.
875
00:44:35,910 --> 00:44:38,504
Whenever possible.
Tonight it's possible.
876
00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:46,249
Started with a killing,
ending with an execution.
877
00:44:46,787 --> 00:44:50,348
You got what you wanted.
Take the rest of the week off.
878
00:44:52,293 --> 00:44:54,818
It's Friday, Adam.
879
00:44:54,895 --> 00:44:56,954
So it is. See you Monday.
880
00:45:33,069 --> 00:45:36,196
Justice Week in Review
with Ben Tanner and Jerry Vance.
881
00:45:36,271 --> 00:45:37,329
The big story this week
882
00:45:37,405 --> 00:45:42,138
has to be the death sentence handed down
by the jury in the Heidi Ellison case.
