00:06:48,756 --> 00:06:50,932
Oh, it's okay, I'm already
on the naughty list.

174
00:06:50,975 --> 00:06:53,021
[elevator bell chimes]
Sure.

175
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:54,849
If we don't really
have to do anything.

176
00:06:54,892 --> 00:06:56,938
Oh, a-and any way that I
could set up a meeting

177
00:06:56,981 --> 00:06:58,940
between you and the A.D.A.?

178
00:06:58,983 --> 00:07:01,682
See if maybe you could
sweet talk this ambitious punk

179
00:07:01,725 --> 00:07:03,292
into dropping the charges?

180
00:07:03,335 --> 00:07:06,904
Mm-hmm. What happened to "we
don't even have to go to court"?

181
00:07:06,948 --> 00:07:08,384
Well, w-we don't.

182
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:11,387
I figured, if you powwow
with the A.D.A.

183
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:12,867
and he drops the case,

184
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:15,391
then we really
don't have to go to court.

185
00:07:16,784 --> 00:07:19,221
Let go of the door
and let's consider it

186
00:07:19,264 --> 00:07:21,179
your early Christmas present.

187
00:07:21,223 --> 00:07:24,313
Ah, Bull, you shouldn't have.[elevator bell chimes]

188
00:07:24,356 --> 00:07:26,794
You're preaching
to the choir, pal.

189
00:07:29,492 --> 00:07:30,624
A.D.A. Russo?

190
00:07:30,667 --> 00:07:32,713
Forgive me for
barging in unannounced.

191
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:34,889
My name's Dr. Jason Bull, and
I'm working with Chris Coleman.

192
00:07:34,932 --> 00:07:35,933
You have a minute?

193
00:07:37,979 --> 00:07:41,069
Dr. Bull. I know who you are.

194
00:07:41,112 --> 00:07:43,158
Uh,

195
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:45,987
welcome to misdemeanor row.
I'd tell you to pull up a chair,

196
00:07:46,030 --> 00:07:47,989
but that would assume
you brought one with you.

197
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:49,207
You want mine?

198
00:07:49,251 --> 00:07:51,819
No, I'm good right here. Thanks.

199
00:07:51,862 --> 00:07:53,734
Wow.

200
00:07:53,777 --> 00:07:56,214
It's the kind of office you
work like hell to get out of.

201
00:07:56,258 --> 00:07:58,608
You guys into fantasy football?

202
00:07:58,652 --> 00:08:01,045
Yup.

203
00:08:01,089 --> 00:08:03,874
Uh, what-what can I do
for you, Dr. Bull?

204
00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:05,963
I know you didn't come
all this way to, uh,

205
00:08:06,007 --> 00:08:07,835
check out the office, did you?

206
00:08:07,878 --> 00:08:11,316
I was hoping to get you to drop
the charges against my client.

207
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,797
Why would I do that?

208
00:08:13,841 --> 00:08:16,626
Because the only thing
he's guilty of is bad luck.

209
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,368
Well, that is your opinion,

210
00:08:19,411 --> 00:08:21,544
and you're entitled
to it, certainly.

211
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:24,939
But from my vantage point,
from the city's vantage point,

212
00:08:24,982 --> 00:08:26,331
he laid his hands on a guy

213
00:08:26,375 --> 00:08:28,159
and that guy subsequently died.

214
00:08:28,203 --> 00:08:31,728
Mm, not exactly.

215
00:08:31,772 --> 00:08:34,905
We both know if my client
had had $5,000 for bail,

216
00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:36,298
he wouldn't be
in this situation.

217
00:08:36,341 --> 00:08:38,996
He'd still be facing
manslaughter charges.

218
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,563
No, he wouldn't.

219
00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:42,957
He wouldn't have pled guilty,
he would've pled innocent,

220
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,306
which is what he is.

221
00:08:44,349 --> 00:08:46,003
And then he would've
explained to a jury that,

222
00:08:46,047 --> 00:08:47,004
when he was attacked, all he did

223
00:08:47,048 --> 00:08:49,920
was protect himself.

224
00:08:49,964 --> 00:08:51,400
The truth is, his guilty plea

225
00:08:51,443 --> 00:08:53,445
is the only piece of evidence
you have against him.

226
00:08:53,489 --> 00:08:56,057
Well, the good news is,
if he is innocent,

227
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:00,017
as you say he is, uh,
a jury will acquit him.

228
00:09:00,061 --> 00:09:04,065
I'm guessing this
your first felony trial.

229
00:09:06,371 --> 00:09:08,330
Everybody has their first,
Dr. Bull.

230
00:09:08,373 --> 00:09:10,941
Absolutely.
Everybody has a first.

231
00:09:10,985 --> 00:09:13,030
The important thing is,
once you get your shot,

232
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:14,205
you don't want to lose.

233
00:09:14,249 --> 00:09:17,078
Oh, I'm not worried.

234
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:20,690
See, I have three witnesses and
a dead body and a guilty plea,

235
00:09:20,734 --> 00:09:23,911
so I'm feeling pretty good.

236
00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:27,175
Excellent.
I can't even begin to tell you

237
00:09:27,218 --> 00:09:28,872
how important
your feelings are to me.

238
00:09:30,787 --> 00:09:34,008
See you in court, Mr. Russo.

239
00:09:34,051 --> 00:09:36,706
See you in court,
Dr. Bull.

First day of court.

Always my favorite.

00:09:58,815 --> 00:10:03,472
Little something
we need to do first.

245
00:10:03,515 --> 00:10:06,518
Oh...

246
00:10:06,562 --> 00:10:10,000
We're gonna throw that
poor girl under the bus?

247
00:10:10,044 --> 00:10:12,916
I don't see that
we have much choice.

248
00:10:14,962 --> 00:10:17,355
Well, we always have a choice.

Hey. [chuckles]

250
00:10:18,966 --> 00:10:22,665
This is not a case I asked for.
This is not a case I chased.

251
00:10:22,709 --> 00:10:24,624
Nevertheless,
I would like to win,

252
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:26,016
and the only argument we have,

253
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:28,149
the only one that makes
any sense at all,

254
00:10:28,192 --> 00:10:30,891
is that this man
was given bad advice.

255
00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:32,980
And that's not gonna ring
terribly true to the jury

256
00:10:33,023 --> 00:10:35,156
if the person who gave him
that bad advice

257
00:10:35,199 --> 00:10:37,811
is sitting next to him in court.

258
00:10:37,854 --> 00:10:41,249
And, yes, I know this means
you and I'll be doing

259
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:42,598
the heavy lifting, but...

260
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,600
I wasn't thinking about that.

261
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:46,471
I was thinking about her.

All rise.

[whispering]:
I'm sorry.

264
00:10:54,871 --> 00:10:57,526
Before we begin, Your Honor,

265
00:10:57,569 --> 00:10:59,920
the defense would like
to make a pretrial motion

266
00:10:59,963 --> 00:11:02,270
to revoke our client's
guilty plea.

267
00:11:02,313 --> 00:11:04,054
[gallery muttering quietly]

268
00:11:04,098 --> 00:11:06,056
BENNY:
Ms. Bennet,

269
00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:10,582
it was you that recommended
that Mr. Coleman plead guilty.

270
00:11:10,626 --> 00:11:12,628
Isn't that right? Yes.

271
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:16,588
And you did so even though
he insisted he was innocent.

272
00:11:16,632 --> 00:11:19,722
A-At the time, it seemed like
the best course of action.

273
00:11:19,766 --> 00:11:22,072
For him,
given the circumstances.

274
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:32,648
Again, just to be clear,

275
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:36,086
you advised your client
to accept responsibility

276
00:11:36,130 --> 00:11:39,220
for something he didn't do.

277
00:11:39,263 --> 00:11:41,613
You advised him to lie.

278
00:11:41,657 --> 00:11:45,095
Isn't that correct?

279
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:47,881
Uh, yes.

280
00:11:47,924 --> 00:11:50,884
That's correct.
That's what I did.

281
00:11:50,927 --> 00:11:53,930
And I very much regret it.

282
00:11:55,410 --> 00:11:57,412
Thank you.

283
00:12:00,067 --> 00:12:02,417
I'll hear you,

A.D.A. Russo.

285
00:12:04,941 --> 00:12:06,769
Your Honor,
without the guilty plea,

286
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:07,901
the People's case
would be gutted.

287
00:12:07,944 --> 00:12:09,772
Yeah, but that's
not reason to uphold

288
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:10,904
an otherwise invalid
guilty plea.

289
00:12:10,947 --> 00:12:13,080
RUSSO: The defendant
made a knowing,

290
00:12:13,123 --> 00:12:15,386
voluntary waiver,
and his admission should stand.

291
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:17,606
The prosecutor
took advantage of the fact

292
00:12:17,649 --> 00:12:19,739
that Mr. Coleman
doesn't have resources.

293
00:12:19,782 --> 00:12:21,262
JUDGE:
Enough.

294
00:12:21,305 --> 00:12:24,178
I agree with Mr. Colón that
this attorney's representation

295
00:12:24,221 --> 00:12:25,962
was substandard.

296
00:12:26,006 --> 00:12:27,703
And because of that reason,

297
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:29,836
I will be reporting her
to the state bar.

298
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:31,838
That said, however,
I find that the defendant

299
00:12:31,881 --> 00:12:33,840
did, in fact, make

300
00:12:33,883 --> 00:12:36,756
a knowing waiver of his rights,
and I'm denying

301
00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,670
the defendant's motion
to revoke.

302
00:12:38,714 --> 00:12:40,716
The guilty plea will stand.

A whole lot of nothing? What?

306
00:12:51,858 --> 00:12:55,035
It was an attempt to try
and ease the burden

307
00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:58,473
of winning you your freedom
Mr. Coleman, and it failed.

308
00:12:58,516 --> 00:13:01,432
The next step is we attempt

309
00:13:01,476 --> 00:13:04,479
to curate a jury that will
relate to your situation.

310
00:13:04,522 --> 00:13:07,699
And then, we will try
and persuade them

311
00:13:07,743 --> 00:13:09,832
to find you not guilty.

312
00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:11,442
That's what we do.

a petition for divorce.

I just lost my apartment,
my job, my wife.

525
00:21:40,255 --> 00:21:41,517
I'm about to lose my kid!

526
00:21:41,561 --> 00:21:44,390
And I'm facing 20! 20 years!

527
00:21:44,433 --> 00:21:46,348
20 years in prison!

528
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:48,524
And you two are what?
What are you doing?

529
00:21:48,568 --> 00:21:50,700
What are you doing?
You're just sitting there!

530
00:21:50,744 --> 00:21:53,355
You're just sitting there and
you're just watching it happen!

531
00:21:53,399 --> 00:21:56,532
Mr. Coleman,
if you are at all unhappy

532
00:21:56,576 --> 00:21:58,186
about the quality
of your representation,

533
00:21:58,229 --> 00:22:00,536
your free representation... Bull...

534
00:22:00,580 --> 00:22:02,059
[door opens]

535
00:22:02,103 --> 00:22:03,365
Time to get back on the bus.

536
00:22:03,409 --> 00:22:05,498
[sighs] Just give me a minute.

537
00:22:05,541 --> 00:22:07,935
Hey, you don't have a minute;
the bus needs to roll.

538
00:22:07,978 --> 00:22:10,154
Hey, I'm talking to my lawyer!
What the hell is wrong with you?

539
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:11,547
BULL: He'll be right there,
Officer.

540
00:22:11,591 --> 00:22:14,594
My fault,
I lost track of the time.

541
00:22:14,637 --> 00:22:16,944
[sighs]

542
00:22:18,815 --> 00:22:20,077
Thanks for dinner.

543
00:22:21,992 --> 00:22:23,777
It's the least I can do.

544
00:22:25,518 --> 00:22:29,609
Look, if you want to quit,
I'd totally understand.

545
00:22:29,652 --> 00:22:32,786
I can fly solo from here.

546
00:22:32,829 --> 00:22:36,398
I honestly don't think
the guy did it, but...

547
00:22:36,442 --> 00:22:38,226
he can't get out of his own way

548
00:22:38,269 --> 00:22:40,228
and I'm not sure I can help
someone like that.

549
00:22:40,271 --> 00:22:42,622
[phone ringing]

550
00:22:42,665 --> 00:22:43,797
Hello?

551
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,233
Speaking.

552
00:22:47,627 --> 00:22:49,585
Oh.

553
00:22:49,629 --> 00:22:51,108
Well, I-is he okay?

554
00:22:54,634 --> 00:22:58,681
Will he be able to
come to court tomorrow?

555
00:22:58,725 --> 00:23:00,291
[sighs]

556
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:02,337
I-I understand.

557
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:04,948
No, o-okay. All right.

558
00:23:04,992 --> 00:23:07,124
W-We'll ask the judge
for a one day continuance.

559
00:23:07,168 --> 00:23:10,214
Thank you for letting me know.

560
00:23:10,258 --> 00:23:14,088
[sighs]

561
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:17,221
Tha-That was,
that was the prison.

562
00:23:17,265 --> 00:23:19,354
Chris is in the hospital.

563
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:23,576
Someone picked a fight
with him in the cafeteria.

564
00:23:23,619 --> 00:23:25,665
[scoffs]

565
00:23:25,708 --> 00:23:30,452
Must've hit the guy pretty
hard; he broke his wrist.

566
00:23:30,496 --> 00:23:33,281
Great. Now we can't
put him on the stand.

567
00:23:33,324 --> 00:23:35,326
The second his ass
hits the chair,

568
00:23:35,370 --> 00:23:37,111
the prosecutor will want
to cross-examine him

569
00:23:37,154 --> 00:23:39,200
about the fact that he got
into another fight

570
00:23:39,243 --> 00:23:42,551
and they will argue that he has
a propensity for violence.

571
00:23:44,248 --> 00:23:47,164
And they'll be right.

572
00:23:54,345 --> 00:23:55,346
[door opens]

573
00:23:57,174 --> 00:23:59,263
Oh. It's nice of
you to show up.

574
00:23:59,307 --> 00:24:01,396
I think so.

575
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,007
Well, uh, you're an hour
late, so let me just ask you,

576
00:24:04,051 --> 00:24:05,879
when we ask you
to come to court,

577
00:24:05,922 --> 00:24:07,141
are you gonna be on time?

578
00:24:07,184 --> 00:24:08,838
Because a judge is not
gonna wait an hour.

579
00:24:08,882 --> 00:24:11,275
My sitter cancelled. You have a cell phone.

580
00:24:11,319 --> 00:24:13,887
As a matter of fact, I do.

581
00:24:13,930 --> 00:24:15,845
But I ran out of minutes.

582
00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:19,327
[phone thuds on table]

583
00:24:19,370 --> 00:24:21,677
I need you to understand,
when I come see you,

584
00:24:21,721 --> 00:24:23,810
when I come to court,
it costs me.

585
00:24:23,853 --> 00:24:24,811
I get that.

586
00:24:24,854 --> 00:24:26,465
No, I don't think you do.

587
00:24:26,508 --> 00:24:29,468
My kid wants to know why his
father isn't coming to see him.

588
00:24:29,511 --> 00:24:33,341
And now that Chris is in jail,
he can't pay child support.

589
00:24:33,384 --> 00:24:36,213
We're trying to fix that, but
that's why we need your help.

590
00:24:39,782 --> 00:24:41,828
I love him.

591
00:24:41,871 --> 00:24:45,005
I really do.

592
00:24:45,048 --> 00:24:48,617
But if it's not the drinking,
it's the temper.

593
00:24:48,661 --> 00:24:50,619
And if it's not the temper... Everybody's lives

594
00:24:50,663 --> 00:24:53,709
are gonna be better if we
can get him out of jail.

595
00:24:55,929 --> 00:24:59,236
Look, the truth is,
I didn't see the whole fight.

596
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,022
I can't talk about the part when

597
00:25:02,065 --> 00:25:04,024
Chris pushed that man.

598
00:25:04,067 --> 00:25:07,114
I saw the beginning and the end,
not the middle.

599
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:10,770
I was focused on finding help.

600
00:25:10,813 --> 00:25:14,338
So you can't testify
about how Connor fell?

601
00:25:14,382 --> 00:25:17,385
I didn't say that.

602
00:25:17,428 --> 00:25:20,170
E-Excuse me?

603
00:25:20,214 --> 00:25:25,001
I could say that
it looked to me like...

604
00:25:27,134 --> 00:25:29,702
...that guy Connor tripped.

605
00:25:29,745 --> 00:25:33,575
That it had nothing to do
with Chris's shove.

606
00:25:33,619 --> 00:25:36,186
Wait. A-Are you
talking about lying?

607
00:25:36,230 --> 00:25:37,753
No.

608
00:25:37,797 --> 00:25:40,190
We do not lie in a court of law.

609
00:25:40,234 --> 00:25:42,279
It never helps, it only hurts.

610
00:25:42,323 --> 00:25:45,065
Trust me, the last
thing you want is for

611
00:25:45,108 --> 00:25:47,676
both of your child's
parents to be behind bars.

612
00:25:53,073 --> 00:25:54,944
[knocking at door]DANNY:
Gabriel?

613
00:25:54,988 --> 00:25:56,598
[knocking resumes, keys jangle]

614
00:25:56,642 --> 00:25:58,600
[door unlocks]

615
00:26:11,439 --> 00:26:14,834
[gasps] Oh, what the hell are you doing?
It's me. It's me, it's me, it's me.

616
00:26:14,877 --> 00:26:17,184
[groans]

617
00:26:19,403 --> 00:26:21,362
DANNY: I've been trying
to get ahold of you

618
00:26:21,405 --> 00:26:23,930
for the last 24 hours.

619
00:26:23,973 --> 00:26:25,584
You want to tell me
about last night?

620
00:26:27,237 --> 00:26:29,805
Yeah, sure. I-I had the chicken.

621
00:26:29,849 --> 00:26:32,155
It was good. You know what
I'm talking about.

622
00:26:32,199 --> 00:26:35,550
All of a sudden, you decide
to impersonate McDreamy

623
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:38,727
and perform an operation
in the middle of dinner,

624
00:26:38,771 --> 00:26:40,947
and then it's "We got
to go, we got to go,"

625
00:26:40,990 --> 00:26:43,993
and as soon as we grab an
Uber and I get in the car,

626
00:26:44,037 --> 00:26:45,952
you ditch me. I did not ditch you.

627
00:26:45,995 --> 00:26:48,345
You slammed the door closed
and headed for the subway.

628
00:26:48,389 --> 00:26:50,957
Well, you know, we-we live
on different parts in the city.

629
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,176
Okay? It's just
more efficient that way.

630
00:26:53,220 --> 00:26:55,222
You know, you're really
good with a bottle of vodka

631
00:26:55,265 --> 00:26:58,138
and a table knife, but
you are a terrible liar.

632
00:26:58,181 --> 00:27:00,444
Okay.

633
00:27:00,488 --> 00:27:02,098
How did you know how to do that?

634
00:27:02,142 --> 00:27:05,885
How did you know how to
save that man's life?

635
00:27:05,928 --> 00:27:08,104
I unclog toilets for a living.

636
00:27:08,148 --> 00:27:10,280
It's-it's really not
that different.

637
00:27:12,935 --> 00:27:15,285
What? Thanks for the company.
And the sex.

638
00:27:15,329 --> 00:27:16,896
Okay, loo... Stop!

639
00:27:16,939 --> 00:27:19,681
Please, d-don't be so dramatic.

640
00:27:21,683 --> 00:27:24,555
It was a simple
needle decompression.

641
00:27:24,599 --> 00:27:28,081
Okay? Any doctor can do it.

642
00:27:28,124 --> 00:27:30,083
What does that mean?

643
00:27:30,126 --> 00:27:33,913
It means that
before I came here,

644
00:27:33,956 --> 00:27:39,614
before all of this,
I was a surgeon.

645
00:27:41,747 --> 00:27:44,488
A cardiothoracic surgeon.

646
00:27:44,532 --> 00:27:48,275
But you say that like
it's a bad thing.

647
00:27:48,318 --> 00:27:50,494
Why would you keep something
like that a secret from me?

648
00:27:50,538 --> 00:27:53,454
Because I don't...
I don't want to go to jail.

649
00:27:53,497 --> 00:27:55,238
Okay?

650
00:27:55,282 --> 00:27:57,023
I don't want
to be sent back home.

651
00:27:57,066 --> 00:28:00,156
'Cause I don't want to die.

652
00:28:02,158 --> 00:28:04,378
They cut in front of us,

653
00:28:04,421 --> 00:28:08,208
and then I said something

654
00:28:08,251 --> 00:28:10,819
about going to the back
of the line.

655
00:28:10,863 --> 00:28:12,778
And how did the men react?

656
00:28:12,821 --> 00:28:16,042
The man that died,

657
00:28:16,085 --> 00:28:19,480
he punched my husband,
right in the face.

658
00:28:19,523 --> 00:28:21,482
BENNY:
You saw that?

659
00:28:21,525 --> 00:28:23,876
GINA: Yes, I did. And then
they all surrounded him,

660
00:28:23,919 --> 00:28:25,399
and I went to go get help.

661
00:28:25,442 --> 00:28:28,141
Did you feel threatened?

662
00:28:28,184 --> 00:28:30,143
Oh, my God, yes.

663
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:32,711
That's why I called
for security.

664
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,669
Nothing further, Your Honor.

665
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:36,932
We are batting .500.

666
00:28:36,976 --> 00:28:39,021
I am feeling a little momentum.

667
00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:40,849
This is the easy part.

668
00:28:40,893 --> 00:28:44,287
Let's see how she
holds up on cross.

669
00:28:44,331 --> 00:28:46,681
Mrs. Coleman, are you aware
that phone calls

670
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:48,030
at the jail are recorded?

671
00:28:49,684 --> 00:28:51,425
No, I didn't know that.

672
00:28:51,468 --> 00:28:53,993
Objection. Counsel's
badgering the witness.

673
00:28:54,036 --> 00:28:55,429
What's the point here?

674
00:28:55,472 --> 00:28:58,475
I'll cut to the chase,
Your Honor.

675
00:29:00,521 --> 00:29:03,654
CHRIS [over recording]:
Did you meet with the lawyers?

676
00:29:03,698 --> 00:29:05,787
Is that your husband's voice?

677
00:29:05,831 --> 00:29:08,268
Yes.

678
00:29:08,311 --> 00:29:12,098
GINA [over recording]:
Yeah. I talked to them.

679
00:29:12,141 --> 00:29:14,753
I told them I'd do anything
to get you out of there.

680
00:29:14,796 --> 00:29:17,233
I even told them I'd lie.

681
00:29:17,277 --> 00:29:18,626
And that's you, isn't it?

682
00:29:18,669 --> 00:29:20,106
BENNY:
Objection.

683
00:29:20,149 --> 00:29:21,498
Move to strike.

684
00:29:21,542 --> 00:29:23,283
Overruled. The jury may
consider the recording,

685
00:29:23,326 --> 00:29:25,024
as it pertains
to the credibility

686
00:29:25,067 --> 00:29:26,939
of the witness.

687
00:29:26,982 --> 00:29:28,114
Anything else?

688
00:29:28,157 --> 00:29:30,333
Just-just one more question.

689
00:29:30,377 --> 00:29:33,162
How do we know
you're not lying now?

690
00:29:33,206 --> 00:29:35,948
Because I'm not.

691
00:29:35,991 --> 00:29:40,953
RUSSO: I have no more questions
for this witness.

692
00:29:40,996 --> 00:29:42,998
MARISSA:
Remember those six greens?

693
00:29:43,042 --> 00:29:46,959
Well, two of them
just turned red.

694
00:29:47,002 --> 00:29:49,004
Terrific.

695
00:29:56,490 --> 00:29:57,839
[sighs]The case isn't even over.

696
00:29:57,883 --> 00:29:59,145
He's already celebrating.

697
00:29:59,188 --> 00:30:01,930
Ah, that guy oozes ambition.

698
00:30:01,974 --> 00:30:03,714
An ugly ooze.

699
00:30:03,758 --> 00:30:07,762
Probably keeps a running tally
of his cases on the wall.

700
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,372
A running tally?

701
00:30:09,416 --> 00:30:12,593
Like a scorecard?
Like a fantasy football grid?

702
00:30:12,636 --> 00:30:15,074
Oh, yeah. I've seen
all different kinds.

703
00:30:15,117 --> 00:30:17,250
It's the A.D.A.s
on misdemeanor row.

704
00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:19,382
They're itching to
get off of there.

705
00:30:19,426 --> 00:30:22,081
Itching to work felony cases.

706
00:30:22,124 --> 00:30:24,083
They have a
scoring system. No kidding.

707
00:30:24,126 --> 00:30:25,911
And the person with the most
points at the end of the week

708
00:30:25,954 --> 00:30:27,651
wins a pot of money.

709
00:30:27,695 --> 00:30:31,220
But more importantly, they're
one step closer to a promotion.

710
00:30:31,264 --> 00:30:33,614
I guarantee you our
client is up there.

711
00:30:33,657 --> 00:30:35,311
And I'll bet it pays off big.

712
00:30:35,355 --> 00:30:37,792
I suddenly remembered
I have an errand to run.

713
00:30:37,836 --> 00:30:41,448
You go on in and I will
join you as soon as I can.

714
00:30:41,491 --> 00:30:43,929
Whatever you say.

715
00:30:52,807 --> 00:30:54,461
MAN:
Can I help you?

716
00:30:54,504 --> 00:30:56,202
Frank's not here.

717
00:30:56,245 --> 00:30:58,378
Really? You sure?

718
00:30:58,421 --> 00:31:00,815
He told me to meet him here
for a conference.

719
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:02,382
Actually, he's in court.

720
00:31:02,425 --> 00:31:04,384
Really? How is that possible?

721
00:31:04,427 --> 00:31:05,907
I thought we were getting
a late start today.

722
00:31:05,951 --> 00:31:07,387
I must have missed a text. Uh, must have.

723
00:31:07,430 --> 00:31:08,867
Senior moment.

724
00:31:08,910 --> 00:31:10,042
Hmm.

725
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:16,309
LEE: Mr. Colón,
call your next witness.

726
00:31:16,352 --> 00:31:19,355
[clears throat]

727
00:31:19,399 --> 00:31:22,576
The defense would like to call
A.D.A. Russo to the stand.

728
00:31:22,619 --> 00:31:24,708
LEE: The defense
wants to call

729
00:31:24,752 --> 00:31:26,319
the prosecutor to the stand?

730
00:31:26,362 --> 00:31:28,103
BENNY: If it
pleases the court.

731
00:31:28,147 --> 00:31:30,584
Objection, Your Honor.
I am not a witness.

732
00:31:30,627 --> 00:31:33,108
I wasn't there. These guys
are playing some kind of game.

733
00:31:33,152 --> 00:31:35,545
Both of you, get up here.

734
00:31:41,203 --> 00:31:44,076
You want to tell me
what's going on, Mr. Colón?

735
00:31:44,119 --> 00:31:45,991
Nothing's going on, your Honor.

736
00:31:46,034 --> 00:31:48,950
I know he's new at this, but
hopefully the prosecutor knows

737
00:31:48,994 --> 00:31:50,299
that there is nothing
in the rules

738
00:31:50,343 --> 00:31:52,606
that precludes us from
calling him to testify.

739
00:31:52,649 --> 00:31:54,564
Respectfully, Judge...

740
00:31:54,608 --> 00:31:57,132
Just go sit
in the witness box, Mr. Russo.

741
00:32:02,616 --> 00:32:04,400
BENNY:
A.D.A. Russo,

742
00:32:04,444 --> 00:32:07,012
you've been out
of law school, what,

743
00:32:07,055 --> 00:32:09,623
a year?
18 months.

744
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:11,233
And I'm guessing
this is your first big case?

745
00:32:11,277 --> 00:32:14,149
Can I object? Is this relevant?

746
00:32:14,193 --> 00:32:15,977
Mr. Colón?

747
00:32:16,021 --> 00:32:17,761
I'd submit that it's
very relevant, Your Honor,

748
00:32:17,805 --> 00:32:22,027
but I'd be happy to move on
if Your Honor prefers.

749
00:32:22,070 --> 00:32:23,463
LEE:
Move along.

750
00:32:27,510 --> 00:32:31,036
You recognize this?

751
00:32:33,081 --> 00:32:36,215
Yes, I recognize it. It's, um,

752
00:32:36,258 --> 00:32:39,131
well, it's a photograph of, uh,
something we use in the office

753
00:32:39,174 --> 00:32:41,698
to track, uh, cases.

754
00:32:41,742 --> 00:32:43,874
Kind of a scorecard, right?

755
00:32:43,918 --> 00:32:45,659
Your Honor, I have to object.

756
00:32:45,702 --> 00:32:46,921
Answer the question.

757
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:53,884
Kind of.
Um, it's common practice.

758
00:32:53,928 --> 00:32:57,149
It's a performance
incentive chart.

759
00:32:57,192 --> 00:32:58,933
BENNY:
Really?

760
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:03,459
Why are my client's
initials on it?

761
00:33:03,503 --> 00:33:05,505
In the win column?

762
00:33:05,548 --> 00:33:07,289
Next to a jackpot?

763
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:09,639
Um, I'm not sure
that's referring to your client.

764
00:33:09,683 --> 00:33:13,034
Let me remind you that
you are still under oath,

765
00:33:13,078 --> 00:33:15,428
Mr. Assistant
District Attorney.

766
00:33:15,471 --> 00:33:20,128
Now, in keeping
with the holidays,

767
00:33:20,172 --> 00:33:22,565
let's talk turkey.

768
00:33:22,609 --> 00:33:26,178
This is your first big case,
which means if you win it,

769
00:33:26,221 --> 00:33:28,006
my client will be your ticket

770
00:33:28,049 --> 00:33:31,835
out of what young A.D.A.s
like to call "misdemeanor row."

771
00:33:31,879 --> 00:33:34,534
Isn't that right?
I mean,

772
00:33:34,577 --> 00:33:37,232
if you win this case,
in all likelihood,

773
00:33:37,276 --> 00:33:39,669
you'll be promoted
to felonies, won't you?

774
00:33:39,713 --> 00:33:41,802
You'd have to ask my boss.

775
00:33:41,845 --> 00:33:44,065
I'm asking you what you think.

776
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:46,459
You believe this case
will help you

777
00:33:46,502 --> 00:33:48,591
move you up the ladder,
don't you?

778
00:33:48,635 --> 00:33:51,246
I suppose so, yes.

779
00:33:51,290 --> 00:33:54,336
You suppose so?

780
00:33:54,380 --> 00:33:58,471
Well, isn't this supposed to be
about justice?

781
00:33:58,514 --> 00:34:01,604
Isn't this supposed to be
about innocence and guilt?

782
00:34:01,648 --> 00:34:03,215
I never said it wasn't.

783
00:34:03,258 --> 00:34:06,174
Look at this card and tell me,

784
00:34:06,218 --> 00:34:08,133
tell the jury, tell the man

785
00:34:08,176 --> 00:34:11,092
that you're prosecuting,
that this is about the law,

786
00:34:11,136 --> 00:34:16,141
that this is about faith,
honor and fairness,

787
00:34:16,184 --> 00:34:17,794
and not about naked ambition,

788
00:34:17,838 --> 00:34:20,667
that-that these...
these dollar signs

789
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:23,452
mean that you are here
to fight the good fight.

790
00:34:23,496 --> 00:34:24,758
Tell them, A.D.A. Russo.

791
00:34:26,803 --> 00:34:28,370
Never mind.

792
00:34:28,414 --> 00:34:31,286
I withdraw the question.

793
00:34:31,330 --> 00:34:35,203
Go ahead, cross-examine yourself
if you'd like.

794
00:34:35,247 --> 00:34:37,553
I love when he gets
righteous like that.

795
00:34:37,597 --> 00:34:39,381
Makes the hairs
on the back of my neck

796
00:34:39,425 --> 00:34:41,383
stand up and do a happy dance.

797
00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,130
BULL:
So all that's left

798
00:34:49,174 --> 00:34:51,219
is closing arguments,
and once that's done,

799
00:34:51,263 --> 00:34:53,395
we wait.
Uh, for what?

800
00:34:53,439 --> 00:34:55,005
The jury.

801
00:34:55,049 --> 00:34:57,225
Okay, and, um, how long
does that usually take?

802
00:34:57,269 --> 00:34:59,314
Varies. Could be
a couple of days.

803
00:34:59,358 --> 00:35:00,620
Could be a couple of weeks.

804
00:35:00,663 --> 00:35:02,404
Juries in murder trials

805
00:35:02,448 --> 00:35:07,192
want to come back with unanimous
verdicts. Guilty. Not guilty.

806
00:35:07,235 --> 00:35:08,802
Most of the time,
they feel they've failed

807
00:35:08,845 --> 00:35:10,847
if they can't come
to a decision.

808
00:35:10,891 --> 00:35:12,240
And everybody has
their own theories

809
00:35:12,284 --> 00:35:15,069
on what's a good sign
and what's a bad sign.

810
00:35:15,113 --> 00:35:17,463
What does it mean
if they're out for a long time?

811
00:35:17,506 --> 00:35:20,161
What does it mean if
they come back quickly?

812
00:35:20,205 --> 00:35:22,598
And, uh, what's yours?
Uh, h-how do you think it works?

813
00:35:22,642 --> 00:35:25,166
You think if-if they take
a long time, that that's, um,

814
00:35:25,210 --> 00:35:28,169
it's good for us,
it's bad for us?

815
00:35:28,213 --> 00:35:31,651
Look...

816
00:35:31,694 --> 00:35:35,002
there is no science
to this at all,

817
00:35:35,045 --> 00:35:37,309
but I tend to believe
that it is harder for a jury

818
00:35:37,352 --> 00:35:40,138
to convict a man,
send a man to prison,

819
00:35:40,181 --> 00:35:41,617
than it is to acquit

820
00:35:41,661 --> 00:35:44,098
a man, so once they've been out

821
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:48,189
for a couple of days,
I get nervous, but like I said,

822
00:35:48,233 --> 00:35:49,408
that's not science.

823
00:35:49,451 --> 00:35:51,497
Have you ever had it where,

824
00:35:51,540 --> 00:35:53,194
right after you give
your closing arguments,

825
00:35:53,238 --> 00:35:56,328
the jury right there goes,
"Boom, not guilty"?

826
00:35:56,371 --> 00:35:58,068
No, that doesn't happen.

827
00:35:58,112 --> 00:35:59,940
'Cause I mean,
I didn't do anything.

828
00:35:59,983 --> 00:36:04,292
I know, but that doesn't happen.

829
00:36:04,336 --> 00:36:07,077
BENNY:
Y'all have been

830
00:36:07,121 --> 00:36:10,211
sitting here
for almost a week now,

831
00:36:10,255 --> 00:36:12,996
and here's what we know:

832
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,609
The only piece of evidence
they have against my client

833
00:36:16,652 --> 00:36:18,045
is his guilty plea.

834
00:36:18,088 --> 00:36:22,789
Hmm? So w-what informed
that guilty plea?

835
00:36:22,832 --> 00:36:27,576
Was it a, uh, thorough
investigation of the facts?

836
00:36:27,620 --> 00:36:30,275
Was that plea
arrived at after, uh,

837
00:36:30,318 --> 00:36:34,235
hours of thought
and deliberation?

838
00:36:34,279 --> 00:36:38,631
Was my client even allowed
to get a second opinion?

839
00:36:38,674 --> 00:36:41,155
None of the above,
ladies and gentlemen.

840
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:45,551
That is because this plea
is not about justice.

841
00:36:45,594 --> 00:36:47,292
It's not about the truth.

842
00:36:47,335 --> 00:36:50,686
It's about allowing
everybody to go home

843
00:36:50,730 --> 00:36:53,646
the day after Thanksgiving,
so that they could enjoy

844
00:36:53,689 --> 00:36:55,430
what little they had left

845
00:36:55,474 --> 00:36:59,347
of what should've been
a four-day weekend.

846
00:36:59,391 --> 00:37:01,349
That's it.

847
00:37:01,393 --> 00:37:03,264
So my client did
what he was told

848
00:37:03,308 --> 00:37:05,701
because he wanted
to get out of there, too.

849
00:37:05,745 --> 00:37:08,051
But keep in mind,

850
00:37:08,095 --> 00:37:12,012
my client didn't actually do
anything wrong.

851
00:37:12,055 --> 00:37:15,624
He defended himself.

852
00:37:15,668 --> 00:37:18,453
He defended his wife,
and that's not against the law.

853
00:37:18,497 --> 00:37:23,023
He pushed a man that
was coming at him.

854
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:26,244
A man that had already
punched him in the head.

855
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:28,289
A man that was bigger than him.

856
00:37:28,333 --> 00:37:32,728
A man that was clearly
under the influence of alcohol.

857
00:37:32,772 --> 00:37:34,382
I...

858
00:37:36,428 --> 00:37:39,300
I'm sorry. I-I was just...

859
00:37:39,344 --> 00:37:42,085
listening for a second.

860
00:37:42,129 --> 00:37:44,871
I wanted to see
if I could hear it.

861
00:37:44,914 --> 00:37:46,873
The-the thing that my client did

862
00:37:46,916 --> 00:37:50,311
that was against the law.

863
00:37:50,355 --> 00:37:53,967
Nope. Not yet.

864
00:37:54,010 --> 00:37:55,838
B-But wait, wait, wait.

865
00:37:55,882 --> 00:37:58,624
A week later,
the man that my client

866
00:37:58,667 --> 00:38:01,627
was defending himself
against died.

867
00:38:01,670 --> 00:38:03,411
And now, suddenly,

868
00:38:03,455 --> 00:38:06,806
I-I guess because they had
his guilty plea,

869
00:38:06,849 --> 00:38:08,416
the prosecutor decides,
let's call it

870
00:38:08,460 --> 00:38:12,333
manslaughter and let's charge
Chris Coleman with it.

871
00:38:12,377 --> 00:38:15,771
A-Are they saying
that-that-that the victim

872
00:38:15,815 --> 00:38:18,121
was-was shoved to death?

873
00:38:18,165 --> 00:38:21,124
No. He died of a brain injury.

874
00:38:21,168 --> 00:38:23,866
What-what,
do they know?

875
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:26,956
Are-are they certain that the,
that the brain injury

876
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,524
was a result of the fall
he took that night?

877
00:38:29,568 --> 00:38:32,484
I haven't seen any
evidence of that,

878
00:38:32,527 --> 00:38:35,095
but-but let's give them
the benefit of a doubt.

879
00:38:35,138 --> 00:38:37,358
My client didn't-didn't
trip him.

880
00:38:37,402 --> 00:38:40,535
My client didn't push him
to the ground.

881
00:38:40,579 --> 00:38:42,363
So why did he fall?

882
00:38:42,407 --> 00:38:46,933
Was it perhaps because, uh,
he drank too much?

883
00:38:46,976 --> 00:38:50,980
Was it perhaps because
the sidewalk was uneven?

884
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:53,809
Did he have a trick ankle?

885
00:38:53,853 --> 00:38:55,985
Of course, none of these things

886
00:38:56,029 --> 00:38:58,771
have anything to do
with my client.

887
00:38:58,814 --> 00:39:01,774
So why is my client here?

888
00:39:01,817 --> 00:39:05,473
Well, because he-he
decided to plead guilty

889
00:39:05,517 --> 00:39:09,651
to make it easy for everyone,
including himself, to get home?

890
00:39:09,695 --> 00:39:12,524
Because an ambitious prosecutor

891
00:39:12,567 --> 00:39:16,092
thinks that convicting
somebody, anybody,

892
00:39:16,136 --> 00:39:17,442
will be good for his career?

893
00:39:17,485 --> 00:39:19,661
Wha... [stammers]

894
00:39:19,705 --> 00:39:21,663
Because, uh-uh,
the world

895
00:39:21,707 --> 00:39:24,840
needs to be saved from, uh, dads

896
00:39:24,884 --> 00:39:27,539
trying to find good deals on
Christmas gifts for their kids?

897
00:39:27,582 --> 00:39:30,455
Well, the point is,

898
00:39:30,498 --> 00:39:33,414
any one of us could've been

899
00:39:33,458 --> 00:39:35,938
standing in that line
that night.

900
00:39:35,982 --> 00:39:39,812
Any one of us here.

901
00:39:39,855 --> 00:39:42,205
Now staring at 20 years
in prison.

902
00:39:45,905 --> 00:39:48,429
Still nothing.

903
00:39:48,473 --> 00:39:51,693
I don't hear a thing.

904
00:39:51,737 --> 00:39:54,174
I guess it's because
I have no idea

905
00:39:54,217 --> 00:39:57,264
what this man
is actually guilty of.

906
00:39:57,307 --> 00:39:59,309
Thank you.

907
00:40:01,181 --> 00:40:02,530
CHRIS:
So now we wait.

908
00:40:02,574 --> 00:40:05,490
So now we wait.

909
00:40:09,755 --> 00:40:11,713
Thank you for those words.

910
00:40:11,757 --> 00:40:14,368
And, uh,

911
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:17,415
thank you for
saying it that way.

912
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:24,857
How'd you feel if I came out
to the prison next week?

913
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:26,336
Just to visit.

914
00:40:27,816 --> 00:40:29,514
Sure.
Yeah.

915
00:40:29,557 --> 00:40:31,559
And with the holidays coming up,

916
00:40:31,603 --> 00:40:34,736
I'll arrange for your wife
and son to come see you.

917
00:40:34,780 --> 00:40:36,172
You're okay with that, right?

918
00:40:36,216 --> 00:40:39,611
Yeah, that'd be great.

919
00:40:39,654 --> 00:40:41,656
[knock at door]

920
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:46,400
The bus is here.

921
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:48,489
Oh, good, everybody's
still here.

922
00:40:48,533 --> 00:40:49,925
Jury's back.

923
00:40:49,969 --> 00:40:51,536
Excuse me?

924
00:40:51,579 --> 00:40:53,407
Jury's back.
They have a verdict.

925
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:56,758
LEE:
Mr. Foreman,

926
00:40:56,802 --> 00:40:58,717
in the matter of The State v. Chris Coleman,

927
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:00,240
what do you find?

928
00:41:00,283 --> 00:41:02,285
We the jury find
the defendant...

929
00:41:04,984 --> 00:41:06,376
...not guilty.

930
00:41:06,420 --> 00:41:08,466
[gallery murmuring]

931
00:41:08,509 --> 00:41:10,642
[crying]JUDGE LEE: Members of the jury,

932
00:41:10,685 --> 00:41:11,643
thank you for your service.

933
00:41:11,686 --> 00:41:12,948
Court is dismissed.
[gavel bangs]

934
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:18,954
BAILIFF:
All rise.

935
00:41:32,446 --> 00:41:36,276
Must be nice to breathe
free air again.

936
00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:38,060
Yeah.

937
00:41:38,104 --> 00:41:42,064
Look, um, look, I just,
I just want to apologize

938
00:41:42,108 --> 00:41:46,416
for taking my anger out
on everyone back there.

939
00:41:46,460 --> 00:41:49,507
No, it's you who's
owed an apology.

940
00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:53,641
On behalf of the entire criminal
justice system, I apologize.

941
00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:58,080
I think our work here is done.

942
00:41:58,124 --> 00:42:00,561
Mr. Colón, may I offer you
a ride back to the office?

943
00:42:00,605 --> 00:42:02,128
I'm in.
Lady.

944
00:42:02,171 --> 00:42:03,956
Gentleman.

945
00:42:08,830 --> 00:42:11,877
I know a little boy
who's dying to see you.

946
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,575
Yeah?

947
00:42:14,619 --> 00:42:17,709
I think his mom would love
to have you for dinner.

948
00:42:19,449 --> 00:42:23,584
I mean, if you want to.Yeah.

949
00:42:23,628 --> 00:42:25,586
Yeah, I'd like that.
