-[reporter 1] Ms. Harper!
-[reporter 2] KJ! Can we get a comment?

00:00:21,981 --> 00:00:24,567
-[camera shutters clicking]
-[reporter 3] Look this way, please!
4
00:00:26,652 --> 00:00:27,528
KJ!
5
00:00:27,612 --> 00:00:29,113
-Right here!
-[reporter] Ms. Harper!
6
00:00:29,197 --> 00:00:30,990
[reporters continue chattering]
7
00:00:31,115 --> 00:00:32,408
-KJ!
-[reporter] Ms. Harper!

00:00:51,385 --> 00:00:53,554
-[Wilcox] Yeah! All right, baby!
-[whistling, clapping]
13
00:00:53,638 --> 00:00:55,139
You're almost there. Almost there.
14
00:00:55,223 --> 00:00:58,559
-Almost out of the woods, baby.
-I told you we'd get past this.
15
00:00:58,643 --> 00:01:01,437
Three down, one to go.
Fuck that prosecutor.
16
00:01:01,521 --> 00:01:05,399
And that's thanks to you.
You and your brass fucking balls.
17
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:11,405
We need to make a statement,
press our advantage.
18
00:01:11,489 --> 00:01:13,866
Stand behind me, keep your mouth shut.
19
00:01:18,329 --> 00:01:19,622
It is over.
20
00:01:25,336 --> 00:01:26,295
Let's go.
21
00:01:26,379 --> 00:01:29,048
[Sam] My client is a victim
of a hate-fueled campaign
22
00:01:29,131 --> 00:01:31,634
by a race-baiting zealot of a prosecutor.
23
00:01:31,717 --> 00:01:33,719
Ms. Harper is making a name for herself,
24
00:01:33,803 --> 00:01:38,015
but police officers who risk their lives
every day for us are paying the price.
25
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:39,642
Officer Jablonski,
a number of your colleagues
26
00:01:39,725 --> 00:01:41,936
have been calling in sick,
not reporting for duty,
27
00:01:42,019 --> 00:01:44,105
and now the city's facing
a surge of violent crime.
28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,316
As far as what's going to stop
the unrest, who knows?
29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,527
The governor calling in
the National Guard?
30
00:01:49,610 --> 00:01:50,736
Another dead cop?
31
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:54,157
There were 64 police officers killed
in the line of duty this past year.
32
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,534
Well, our son was murdered this year.
33
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:59,579
Along with too many black boys
to even count. So you do that math.
34
00:01:59,662 --> 00:02:02,707
-Okay, thank you for your time.
-Well, where's your outrage for them?
35
00:02:03,124 --> 00:02:05,126
Where's the outrage for my son?
36
00:02:05,835 --> 00:02:07,879
-What if it was your child?
-[reporters clamoring]
37
00:02:08,004 --> 00:02:09,755
Where are our children in all of this?
38
00:02:09,839 --> 00:02:11,716
[woman]
Mrs. Butler, how can this be a hate crime
39
00:02:11,799 --> 00:02:14,010
if the officer didn't know
your son was black?
40
00:02:14,093 --> 00:02:16,971
We're simple people, we don't have money
for fancy lawyers like you.
41
00:02:17,054 --> 00:02:18,890
-But we work hard.
-[man] Was your son in a gang--
42
00:02:18,973 --> 00:02:20,975
We live life right,
we just want what's fair.
43
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:24,103
-[protestors yelling indistinctly]
-We deserve justice!
44
00:02:24,187 --> 00:02:26,272
Our son deserves justice!
45
00:02:27,565 --> 00:02:29,400
[woman on TV]
In a surprising development today
46
00:02:29,483 --> 00:02:30,860
in the Brenton Butler trial,
47
00:02:30,943 --> 00:02:33,154
Prosecutor KJ Harper's mistake in court
48
00:02:33,237 --> 00:02:34,947
-may have cost her the case.
-[door opens, closes]
49
00:02:35,031 --> 00:02:36,699
[man on TV]
It was a stunning mistake
50
00:02:36,782 --> 00:02:38,451
for her to make in the courtroom.
51
00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:40,745
And as you can see,
the response from the public,
52
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,789
as in the courtroom,
has really been quite dramatic.
53
00:02:43,873 --> 00:02:44,957
[turns TV off]
54
00:02:45,291 --> 00:02:46,792
-Get up!
-[KJ moans]
55
00:02:47,627 --> 00:02:49,003
We got work to do!
56
00:02:49,378 --> 00:02:52,298
I know you've got a "Fuck off" in there,
so let it out now, save some time.
57
00:02:52,381 --> 00:02:53,341
Gonna make coffee.
58
00:02:53,424 --> 00:02:55,051
I'm out of coffee.
59
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:59,055
-I want to watch TV.
-I fucked up.
60
00:02:59,138 --> 00:03:01,474
I let that kid die. Now get up.
61
00:03:01,557 --> 00:03:03,476
-I can't.
-You do it.
62
00:03:03,559 --> 00:03:04,810
-[KJ groans]
-God!
63
00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:06,062
[KJ moans]
64
00:03:06,145 --> 00:03:09,273
Pull yourself together. Come on. Jesus!
65
00:03:09,357 --> 00:03:10,274
Whoa.
66
00:03:11,776 --> 00:03:12,818
[Fish sighs]
67
00:03:13,778 --> 00:03:14,904
No, I...
68
00:03:16,322 --> 00:03:18,741
I walked right into it.
69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,704
I just handed her this prop
for her goddamned show-and-tell.
70
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:27,416
-I fucking blew it.
-Join the fucking club.
71
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:29,961
Doesn't mean you get to take your ball
and go home.
72
00:03:30,086 --> 00:03:33,005
It doesn't matter. He's not going away.
73
00:03:33,089 --> 00:03:36,425
You do realize
he's not gonna do any real time.
74
00:03:36,509 --> 00:03:38,719
-We still have death by auto.
-We have shit.
75
00:03:38,803 --> 00:03:41,055
-And get off of me! I can walk!
-Okay, then--
76
00:03:41,138 --> 00:03:41,973
Ow!
77
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:44,642
-Really?
-[KJ sighs]
78
00:03:45,059 --> 00:03:48,437
I picked up the purchase report
from Jablonski's blue SUV.
79
00:03:48,521 --> 00:03:52,566
Oh, Jesus.
We looked at that a million fucking times.
80
00:03:52,650 --> 00:03:55,903
Yeah, but we never looked
for the grille guard.
81
00:03:56,696 --> 00:03:57,863
Look.
82
00:03:58,197 --> 00:04:00,199
It was there
when Marie Jablonski bought the car,
83
00:04:00,283 --> 00:04:02,535
but not when he drove to the hospital
the morning of the hit-and-run.
84
00:04:02,618 --> 00:04:03,869
See? It's gone.
85
00:04:04,287 --> 00:04:07,540
And I checked the hospital footage
for the day before the accident.
86
00:04:07,623 --> 00:04:10,126
They had a visit with the doctor
and it was there.
87
00:04:10,668 --> 00:04:14,088
-[sighs] So?
-So, it could be direct evidence
88
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:16,424
linking Jablonski to the accident.
89
00:04:16,507 --> 00:04:18,301
Forensics can match it
with Brenton's injuries.
90
00:04:18,384 --> 00:04:21,637
You can make the case
that this specific car hit Brenton.
91
00:04:21,721 --> 00:04:25,975
It's gone, with the car,
with every fucking thing, and--
92
00:04:26,058 --> 00:04:29,478
You've got two choices here:
you crawl back in that bottle and you die, or you get up off your ass
and do your job.
93
00:04:33,566 --> 00:04:35,276
We broke a lot of promises.
94
00:04:38,237 --> 00:04:39,739
Pretty fucking epic ones.
95
00:04:40,698 --> 00:04:41,907
We don't get to quit.
96
00:04:45,244 --> 00:04:48,080
Bring up the grille guard in court
and see who flinches.
97
00:04:53,419 --> 00:04:55,880
Ain't nobody tryin' to see him
play the black papa.
98
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:57,214
[audience laughing on TV]
99
00:04:57,298 --> 00:04:58,507
Ciao.
100
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:00,885
Wow, Daryll, was that really...
101
00:05:00,968 --> 00:05:03,262
[DiAngelo]
Your mom's gone, God rest her soul,
102
00:05:03,346 --> 00:05:06,265
and you still sucking them
fucking cancer sticks.
103
00:05:06,349 --> 00:05:08,684
One of my vices. We all got 'em.
104
00:05:09,769 --> 00:05:11,896
Like you with that cop Jablonski.
105
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:15,524
The advice was free, my time isn't.
I came here to talk business.
106
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:16,901
Business?
107
00:05:17,443 --> 00:05:20,363
What, with all the trouble
your boy caused? Please.
108
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,656
Time for me to find a new partner.
109
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:25,576
One of you bitches
under every rock in the pond, man.
110
00:05:25,659 --> 00:05:27,536
The pond you refer to...
111
00:05:28,454 --> 00:05:30,039
is the size of a Dixie cup.
112
00:05:30,122 --> 00:05:34,085
You better be grateful for what you got
and you watch your fucking tone with me.
113
00:05:34,543 --> 00:05:36,670
I wonder what your boy Jablonski
would think
114
00:05:36,754 --> 00:05:40,633
when he finds out that you're the one
that put the nine mil in the uncle's hand?
115
00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:44,970
He won't. 'Cause you're
the only one privy. Ain't that right?
116
00:05:45,054 --> 00:05:46,514
[sirens wailing in distance]
117
00:05:48,307 --> 00:05:49,475
Blaze don't know.
118
00:05:49,558 --> 00:05:50,893
Nigga don't even fucking talk.
119
00:05:51,727 --> 00:05:52,645
But me?
120
00:05:52,728 --> 00:05:56,565
I'm a born conversationalist.
Fucking soliloquies and shit.
121
00:05:57,983 --> 00:06:00,402
You threatening me,
you cripple motherfucker?
122
00:06:00,903 --> 00:06:01,946
[Messiah] Look at you, man.
123
00:06:03,114 --> 00:06:05,783
You so soft for that boy,
it makes me wonder,
124
00:06:06,242 --> 00:06:10,246
that prosecutor drag my ass into court,
you gonna be soft then too?
125
00:06:12,498 --> 00:06:14,375
Throw me under the fucking bus?
126
00:06:23,092 --> 00:06:26,595
You should've fucked that little white boy
when you had the chance, man.
127
00:06:32,309 --> 00:06:33,269
[Messiah] What the fuck?
128
00:06:39,108 --> 00:06:40,276
[sniffs]
129
00:06:44,446 --> 00:06:46,323
You still good with 14 percent?
130
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,244
-I'll make it work.
-Yeah, you will.
131
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:53,956
Throw this piece of shit in the river.
132
00:07:07,219 --> 00:07:08,304
[sighs]
133
00:07:17,021 --> 00:07:18,230
[sighs]
134
00:07:21,984 --> 00:07:23,194
Father God,
135
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,821
I come before you today to...
136
00:07:26,447 --> 00:07:30,075
ask for your help and your guidance
in Brenton's case.
137
00:07:39,460 --> 00:07:42,838
Why did you let this happen
to an innocent child?
138
00:07:44,173 --> 00:07:45,841
Where was your mercy?
139
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:51,347
I can't even close my eyes
without seeing his...
140
00:07:52,181 --> 00:07:53,641
last seconds.
141
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,519
How alone he must have been.
142
00:07:58,437 --> 00:08:00,064
Show me something.
143
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:03,943
Show me something...
144
00:08:04,485 --> 00:08:07,613
besides what's in my head. Please.
145
00:08:09,782 --> 00:08:13,702
'Cause I can't see past it right now.
146
00:08:20,125 --> 00:08:23,546
Show me that you were there with him.
147
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:25,756
Please.
148
00:08:31,971 --> 00:08:32,930
[sighs]
149
00:08:34,098 --> 00:08:36,308
[inhales and exhales sharply]
150
00:08:38,185 --> 00:08:40,646
[protestors, group 1] Black lives matter!
Black lives matter!
151
00:08:40,729 --> 00:08:43,065
[protestors, group 2] Blue lives matter!
Blue lives matter!
152
00:08:43,148 --> 00:08:45,693
Blue lives matter! Blue lives matter!
153
00:08:45,776 --> 00:08:47,403
She's gonna push to have
all charges dismissed,
154
00:08:47,486 --> 00:08:49,905
so you have to convince the judge
on this grille guard business.
155
00:08:49,989 --> 00:08:51,907
-Yeah, I know.
-Emphasize, use the actual words,
156
00:08:51,991 --> 00:08:54,660
-see if one of them cracks.
-Will you give me some space here, okay?
157
00:08:55,119 --> 00:08:56,120
[KJ sighs]
158
00:09:09,174 --> 00:09:11,093
I thought she was the one
with the conscience.
159
00:09:12,970 --> 00:09:14,179
She was.
160
00:09:14,263 --> 00:09:15,097
[door opens]
161
00:09:16,307 --> 00:09:17,308
[deputy] All rise.
162
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:21,520
Court is now in session. The honorable
Judge Robert Dolan presiding.
163
00:09:21,604 --> 00:09:22,855
[Dolan] Please be seated.
164
00:09:22,938 --> 00:09:26,191
Outbursts like the one yesterday
will not be tolerated.
165
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:28,110
I hope I am making myself very clear.
166
00:09:28,694 --> 00:09:31,196
Ms. Hennessy, before I recall the jury,
167
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,699
I'll hear arguments
on your motion to dismiss.
168
00:09:33,782 --> 00:09:34,700
[Sam] Yes, Your Honor.
169
00:09:35,284 --> 00:09:38,287
Given that we heard testimony
from the State's own witness
170
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:41,290
proving that the victim's race
was indeterminable,
171
00:09:41,749 --> 00:09:45,044
I move to dismiss the hate crime charge
against my client.
172
00:09:46,003 --> 00:09:49,381
Furthermore, the State hasn't proven
any elements of the other charges.
173
00:09:49,465 --> 00:09:53,469
-Therefore, I move to dismiss all charges.
-This is a gross overreach, Your Honor.
174
00:09:53,552 --> 00:09:56,055
The State is far from finished
presenting its case.
175
00:09:56,138 --> 00:09:58,974
Upon redirect with Mr. Lee,
we will establish evidence
176
00:09:59,058 --> 00:10:02,519
directly tying Officer Jablonski's car
to the accident.
177
00:10:04,647 --> 00:10:08,400
The defendant's SUV originally
had a grille guard attached to the front.
178
00:10:08,984 --> 00:10:12,321
We believe it sustained the lion's share
of the accident impact.
179
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:22,915
[Sam] For the prosecution to introduce
new evidence at this late stage--
180
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:24,541
[KJ] Hardly new evidence, Your Honor.
181
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:27,670
It's a separate line of questioning
based on evidence already in record.
182
00:10:27,753 --> 00:10:32,299
Evidence which, even if true, is nowhere
near establishing my client's guilt.
183
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:36,178
I think that's for the jury to decide,
Ms. Hennessy. Not you.
184
00:10:38,180 --> 00:10:39,848
And the State will be presenting
further evidence
185
00:10:39,932 --> 00:10:41,642
substantiating the hate crime charge.
186
00:10:43,060 --> 00:10:46,063
I'll give you some leeway, Ms. Harper,
but not much.
187
00:10:46,146 --> 00:10:48,190
Defense's motion to dismiss is denied.
188
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:51,068
Your Honor, I still need time to prepare.
189
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:52,277
You have an hour.
190
00:10:52,695 --> 00:10:54,947
Then I'll be bringing the jury back in
to hear testimony.
191
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:56,865
Court stands in recess until 2:00 p.m.
192
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:05,749
Should I be worried?
193
00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:16,093
Right.
194
00:11:18,637 --> 00:11:19,596
We're good.
195
00:11:22,558 --> 00:11:23,559
Trice.
196
00:11:27,229 --> 00:11:28,647
Did you know about Brenton?
197
00:11:29,606 --> 00:11:31,066
I had thoughts.
198
00:11:32,776 --> 00:11:34,486
I believed he told me everything.
199
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:35,487
[chuckles]
200
00:11:36,447 --> 00:11:38,198
Well, you raised him so he could.
201
00:11:39,366 --> 00:11:40,701
I'm not sure I did.
202
00:11:43,162 --> 00:11:45,747
Isaiah, I had no right to say that to you.
203
00:11:46,623 --> 00:11:49,126
To say that you didn't love him.
I know you did.
204
00:11:56,675 --> 00:11:57,801
[sighs]
205
00:12:03,599 --> 00:12:06,518
-What the fuck is going on?
-Shut the fuck up, man.
206
00:12:06,602 --> 00:12:09,438
-The prosecutor knows where it is?
-If she did, it'd be on display right now,
207
00:12:09,521 --> 00:12:10,606
front and center.
208
00:12:13,775 --> 00:12:16,195
If Jablonski cracks,
that grille guard's the only thing
209
00:12:16,278 --> 00:12:18,947
guaranteeing this shit lands
squarely on him.
210
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:20,032
All right?
211
00:12:20,782 --> 00:12:23,869
You think I'm gonna listen to you
of all people on strategy?
212
00:12:23,952 --> 00:12:25,037
[chuckles] Yeah.
213
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:32,377
'Cause out of all of us,
my hands are the only ones stayed clean.
214
00:12:43,931 --> 00:12:46,099
-Doing okay? Look a little queasy.
-Get outta my face.
215
00:12:46,183 --> 00:12:48,477
If you're not feeling well,
you should go to the hospital.
216
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:50,938
Maybe have the doctor take a look
at those scratches on your arm.
217
00:12:53,273 --> 00:12:56,443
Did she look you in the eye
when you shoved the needle in her?
218
00:12:59,404 --> 00:13:01,448
Oh, you motherfucker, it was you.
219
00:13:02,991 --> 00:13:05,077
Hey, you better believe
I'm coming right at you.
220
00:13:09,081 --> 00:13:11,542
[man] The presence of a grille guard
could certainly account
221
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:15,295
for the low number of paint samples
found in the victim's hair, yes.
222
00:13:15,379 --> 00:13:18,674
Are Brenton Butler's injuries consistent
with this type of grille guard?
223
00:13:18,757 --> 00:13:19,591
[man] They are.
224
00:13:21,051 --> 00:13:23,929
[KJ] Mr. Lee, can you show the jury
which of the victim's wounds
225
00:13:24,012 --> 00:13:26,014
match the pattern
of the defendant's grille guard?
226
00:13:26,098 --> 00:13:28,684
[Lee] These marks on the victim's scalp at the anterior side of the skull
227
00:13:31,436 --> 00:13:34,481
match the metal rod
on this particular grille guard.
228
00:13:35,023 --> 00:13:37,317
-Objection, Your Honor.
-[KJ] On what grounds?
229
00:13:37,401 --> 00:13:39,403
[Dolan] Counselors, approach the bench.
230
00:13:41,196 --> 00:13:42,864
Your Honor, this is a blatant attempt
231
00:13:42,948 --> 00:13:45,200
to interrupt the flow
of this witness' testimony.
232
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,912
I'd like to renew my argument
the trial be continued
233
00:13:48,996 --> 00:13:50,914
until after I have a chance
to study this new evidence.
234
00:13:50,998 --> 00:13:53,250
[KJ] Your Honor,
you already ruled on this motion.
235
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:55,919
[Sam] That was until I understood
the scope of the State's questions.
236
00:13:56,003 --> 00:13:58,505
[KJ] The State should at least be allowed
to finish questioning.
237
00:13:59,047 --> 00:14:02,884
[Sam] Your Honor, the defense needs
ample time to study this new evidence.
238
00:14:02,968 --> 00:14:05,220
At least over this coming weekend.
239
00:14:05,304 --> 00:14:07,306
-[Sam continues indistinctly]
-[Teresa gasps]
240
00:14:07,431 --> 00:14:08,390
[woman] Oh, my God!
241
00:14:08,473 --> 00:14:09,641
-[man] Back up!
-[Wilcox] T!
242
00:14:11,018 --> 00:14:13,478
-[man] Come on, give her some room!
-[low chatter]
243
00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:16,398
-[Marie] Teresa!
-[Wilcox] Take it easy, take it easy.
244
00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,317
-[man] She's all right.
-[Wilcox] Easy, easy.
245
00:14:28,619 --> 00:14:32,664
Oh, my God, you're shaking like a leaf
and you're so pale.
246
00:14:32,748 --> 00:14:35,751
-Are you sure you're okay?
-Stop, I'm fine, I told you.
247
00:14:35,834 --> 00:14:39,671
But you're not fine.
You just passed out in there.
248
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:44,343
You need to take her to the urgent care.
She needs to see a doctor.
249
00:14:44,426 --> 00:14:45,761
-No.
-No, she don't.
250
00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:50,265
We got news.
251
00:14:50,766 --> 00:14:51,892
What news?
252
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:55,354
I guess she's still got that conscience.
253
00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,439
-Oh, my God! [laughs]
-Yeah.
254
00:15:00,192 --> 00:15:03,153
None of the others even blinked
at the mention of the grille guard.
255
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:05,322
Osorio's the one that killed Nadine.
256
00:15:06,531 --> 00:15:08,533
He's got scratch marks
up and down his arm.
257
00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:10,744
[KJ] I can get one of the office
detectives to follow Teresa.
258
00:15:10,827 --> 00:15:12,579
You probably shouldn't be around them.
259
00:15:12,663 --> 00:15:13,705
I'm doing this.
260
00:15:14,539 --> 00:15:16,249
Something to keep in mind though
about this crew
261
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:17,960
and how they handle loose ends,
262
00:15:19,002 --> 00:15:20,504
Messiah's missing too.
263
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:21,922
They're cleaning house.
264
00:15:22,381 --> 00:15:24,925
Which means we need to be extra careful
with how we handle Teresa. Look, offer her immunity,
just whatever you need.
265
00:15:27,928 --> 00:15:30,973
I'll do some research,
dig up any skeletons if I can.
266
00:15:32,307 --> 00:15:34,726
Just don't let her out of your sight,
okay?
267
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,146
-Mrs. Butler.
-Today went well, right?
268
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:40,649
The testimony today establishes damage.
269
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:42,484
Is it enough to put him away?
270
00:15:43,235 --> 00:15:46,488
Probably not.
Uh, but court's in recess until Monday
271
00:15:46,571 --> 00:15:49,950
and I have another lead.
It could be the break that we need.
272
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:54,705
That man has the cops, the press,
the entire justice system on his side.
273
00:15:57,207 --> 00:15:58,417
I have you.
274
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,686
[indistinct chatter]
275
00:16:33,994 --> 00:16:35,829
[siren wailing in distance] [gasps] Get the fuck outta here.
276
00:17:32,052 --> 00:17:33,762
We need to get you to a hospital.
277
00:17:33,845 --> 00:17:35,764
-Don't touch me!
-All right. I won't, I won't.
278
00:17:35,847 --> 00:17:38,517
[whispers] Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
279
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:42,938
How about...
280
00:17:44,981 --> 00:17:46,233
I just sit here?
281
00:17:51,738 --> 00:17:53,615
For as long as you want.
282
00:17:59,621 --> 00:18:01,540
[Teresa]
Seriously, you didn't have to do this.
283
00:18:01,623 --> 00:18:02,749
[Marie] Yeah, we did.
284
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:06,086
-It's a big deal. You're having a baby.
-[rock music playing]
285
00:18:06,211 --> 00:18:08,922
-[men chatter indistinctly]
-[Marie] You need this, especially now. -[DiAngelo] Hey, come on, get off.
-[Marie] You gotta have some fun.
286
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,009
[Teresa] Isn't that bad luck?
287
00:18:13,093 --> 00:18:16,805
-Hey, listen up. Ladies, shut up.
-[Marie] You're gonna be a great mom.
288
00:18:16,888 --> 00:18:17,889
All right, get up.
289
00:18:18,223 --> 00:18:22,018
I know it's early, but fuck it. We have
got to celebrate good news for once.
290
00:18:22,102 --> 00:18:23,770
Watch your fucking language, babe.
291
00:18:23,854 --> 00:18:26,189
Speech, speech, speech, speech.
292
00:18:26,273 --> 00:18:27,816
You're one hell of a cop.
293
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,193
You're gonna be one hell of a dad.
294
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,654
[Osorio] The fuck is the matter with you?
¿Que te pasa, coño?
295
00:18:32,779 --> 00:18:36,032
Yo, get the fuck off of me with that shit!
Are you serious?
296
00:18:36,116 --> 00:18:38,368
-No! No!
-Hey, hey, hey! Get the fuck off!
297
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:40,495
-Walk away! Walk away!
-He's fucking drunk!
298
00:18:40,579 --> 00:18:41,830
-He's a fucking idiot.
-Bitch!
299
00:18:41,913 --> 00:18:43,582
Hey! Watch your fucking tone. All right?
300
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:45,625
[Crystal] Come sit down. He's an asshole.
301
00:18:45,709 --> 00:18:48,086
[Jasmine] Don't know what's wrong
with him. He's acting crazy. -Manny, you know what's wrong?
-[Wilcox] Nah, it's nothing.
302
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,883
-[Jasmine] He's not sleeping.
-[Wilcox] Forget about it.
303
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:55,802
-[Marie] It's cute, right?
-[Crystal] It's so cute.
304
00:18:55,886 --> 00:18:59,181
Our kids are gonna grow up together,
just like we did.
305
00:18:59,973 --> 00:19:01,808
We're gonna be mommies together.
306
00:19:04,811 --> 00:19:06,521
You're gonna do great in court.
307
00:19:07,689 --> 00:19:08,857
I trust you.
308
00:19:11,026 --> 00:19:11,860
Mm-hmm.
309
00:19:11,943 --> 00:19:14,446
-All right? You drink with me.
-[rock music continues]
310
00:19:15,155 --> 00:19:16,072
Salud.
311
00:19:16,656 --> 00:19:17,741
Here's to us.
312
00:19:19,701 --> 00:19:21,786
To justice. Right?
313
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:26,374
[women chuckling, chattering indistinctly]
314
00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:30,295
Fuck him.
315
00:19:32,297 --> 00:19:33,465
Fuck him.
316
00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:36,885
Petey, I need to tell you something.
317
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,221
-DiAngelo--
-No, hey, hey.
318
00:19:39,304 --> 00:19:43,558
-I need to talk to you about something.
-Let me grab you another beer. All right?
319
00:19:44,059 --> 00:19:46,561
-I ain't going to let them hurt you.
-Hey, no.
320
00:19:48,355 --> 00:19:49,981
[Wilcox] No, no, no, no, no, no.
321
00:19:50,065 --> 00:19:52,692
-You can't smoke, you're pregnant.
-Come on, stop, T.
322
00:19:52,776 --> 00:19:54,819
-You're pregnant.
-Come on, you gotta quit that shit.
323
00:19:54,903 --> 00:19:56,738
You want your kid to come out
with crab claws?
324
00:19:56,821 --> 00:20:00,033
I know a girl on the shore, her kid came
out with fucking pincers, I swear to God.
325
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:03,036
-Oh, it's my last one. Promise.
-Come on, you don't need to do that.
326
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,163
-Promise.
-Come on, stop, stop, stop.
327
00:20:21,304 --> 00:20:24,391
[tarp crackling]
328
00:20:46,329 --> 00:20:49,624
[muttering]
Fuck! What the fuck? What the fuck?
329
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:52,752
[Fish] Hey.
330
00:20:54,713 --> 00:20:55,630
[chuckles]
331
00:20:55,714 --> 00:20:57,882
I guess congratulations are in order.
332
00:20:58,258 --> 00:21:01,052
-Little girls, man, they're the best.
-You're spying on us now?
333
00:21:01,136 --> 00:21:03,805
First time you see that face,
it's gonna break your heart. Break your kid's heart too, knowing
she's gotta visit you in the clink.
334
00:21:06,891 --> 00:21:08,977
Get out of here. You can't be here.
It's trespassing.
335
00:21:09,060 --> 00:21:10,979
I think it's good that you know the law.
336
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:13,315
It means you know what an accessory is.
337
00:21:13,857 --> 00:21:17,235
So you know not talking
about those cops killing that kid
338
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:20,322
and crushing his head under that SUV
that you like to drive around--
339
00:21:20,405 --> 00:21:22,073
You don't leave now,
I will call them out here.
340
00:21:22,157 --> 00:21:23,742
Let's do it. You should do it!
341
00:21:24,242 --> 00:21:25,243
Call them!
342
00:21:27,454 --> 00:21:29,748
Ask them about Nadine,
the other little kid they killed.
343
00:21:30,832 --> 00:21:32,584
What are you talking about?
344
00:21:36,546 --> 00:21:39,341
Yeah. She was 15 years old.
345
00:21:39,424 --> 00:21:41,092
She was gonna put 'em all away.
346
00:21:41,176 --> 00:21:42,135
Look at her.
347
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,097
Your friends in there...
348
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,809
left her to rot in some swamp.
349
00:21:49,893 --> 00:21:52,020
-Look at her!
-Stop it!
350
00:21:52,103 --> 00:21:54,689
They're worse than animals,
351
00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:56,399
those people in there.
352
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,652
And they're all lying to you.
353
00:22:00,236 --> 00:22:01,696
Even that cousin of yours.
354
00:22:02,864 --> 00:22:05,533
-Don't talk about my cousin, you asshole.
-No. Why? Hey.
355
00:22:05,617 --> 00:22:08,370
You stay away from her,
you stay away from me!
356
00:22:08,453 --> 00:22:09,621
-Okay! Hey, okay!
-Hey, guys!
357
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,122
Hey, shh.
358
00:22:11,831 --> 00:22:13,708
Know how to reach me
if you change your mind.
359
00:22:13,792 --> 00:22:15,543
Same place your old man works.
360
00:22:26,805 --> 00:22:28,139
[engine starts]
361
00:22:39,776 --> 00:22:41,319
[gasps]
362
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:43,404
[breathing heavily]
363
00:22:44,781 --> 00:22:46,157
Come get breakfast.
364
00:22:50,203 --> 00:22:52,747
[woman on TV] Whether or not
Brenton Butler was a gang member,
365
00:22:52,831 --> 00:22:56,626
the 15-year-old did in fact have
a juvenile record for drug possession.
366
00:23:03,341 --> 00:23:04,843
All I got is cereal.
367
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:08,096
That'll work.
368
00:23:25,071 --> 00:23:26,698
What about you and Mrs. Butler?
369
00:23:27,615 --> 00:23:29,534
Y'all ain't checking for each other
no more?
370
00:23:33,163 --> 00:23:35,415
Just saying, Brenton would've wanted
y'all to work it out.
371
00:23:35,498 --> 00:23:37,083
Ain't that what you want?
372
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:38,626
Not everything's up to me.
373
00:23:39,836 --> 00:23:41,546
Finally made my peace with that.
374
00:23:46,676 --> 00:23:48,928
I am thinking about starting
a new job though.
375
00:23:51,055 --> 00:23:52,098
Doing what?
376
00:23:53,224 --> 00:23:54,225
Painting.
377
00:23:55,518 --> 00:23:57,520
Something I been into since I was a kid.
378
00:23:57,604 --> 00:23:59,480
So you trying to be an artist now?
379
00:24:00,023 --> 00:24:02,108
-Like museums and shit?
-Nah.
380
00:24:02,192 --> 00:24:04,485
Just, you know,
painting old houses, buildings.
381
00:24:04,569 --> 00:24:05,987
Putting some color back.
382
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:07,071
Some light.
383
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:09,199
Life.
384
00:24:12,994 --> 00:24:15,121
I might need some help
if you're interested in a job.
385
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:16,831
I ain't no employee.
386
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:18,333
Shit.
387
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:20,793
If you're looking for a partner though...
388
00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:22,670
we could talk.
389
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:25,256
I just might be.
390
00:24:26,841 --> 00:24:29,636
You know, you always got a place to stay
if you need it.
391
00:24:45,944 --> 00:24:48,029
I appreciate the offer, but...
392
00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:50,615
I got an aunt out in Mobile.
393
00:24:51,241 --> 00:24:53,201
She's been hitting me up for a while.
394
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:55,036
Everything that's been going down,
395
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:56,788
seems like a good idea.
396
00:24:58,081 --> 00:25:01,459
Think I could make it
as some country Alabama boy?
397
00:25:02,460 --> 00:25:03,461
I do.
398
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:11,010
Dear Heavenly Father,
may you bless this food
399
00:25:11,719 --> 00:25:15,598
for the nourishment of our bodies,
minds, and spirits.
400
00:25:15,682 --> 00:25:17,350
Bless all our loved ones and...
401
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,644
those who aren't here to be loved.
402
00:25:41,916 --> 00:25:43,042
I spooked her.
403
00:25:43,668 --> 00:25:46,212
She knows something,
but she's not talking.
404
00:25:46,296 --> 00:25:49,799
And she's in deeper than we thought too.
She's about to have Wilcox's demon child.
405
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:51,217
But other than that... [scoffs]
406
00:25:52,010 --> 00:25:53,094
How about you?
407
00:25:53,177 --> 00:25:54,053
Nothing.
408
00:25:54,137 --> 00:25:56,764
Past jobs, old boyfriends,
409
00:25:56,848 --> 00:25:59,309
I couldn't come up with anything
to use as leverage.
410
00:25:59,392 --> 00:26:00,560
What about the cousin, Marie?
411
00:26:00,643 --> 00:26:03,396
One mention of her and she went nuts,
like a Pekingese on PCP.
412
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:05,440
They grew up on the same block together.
413
00:26:05,523 --> 00:26:08,276
But if she's about to start a family
with Wilcox,
414
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,236
there's no way
she's turning any of them in.
415
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,738
What about the other witnesses?
416
00:26:12,155 --> 00:26:14,198
Messiah's AWOL, she's the last one.
417
00:26:14,699 --> 00:26:18,536
Without that grille guard,
auto death is mostly speculation.
418
00:26:18,619 --> 00:26:20,038
And hate crime's a Hail Mary.
419
00:26:20,788 --> 00:26:23,750
He had to have seen that blood
near the ditch.
420
00:26:23,833 --> 00:26:25,960
And those shoes,
they were right there in plain sight.
421
00:26:26,044 --> 00:26:27,920
Can't introduce the Timberlands
without Nadine.
422
00:26:28,004 --> 00:26:28,921
I know.
423
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:30,673
But Jablonski must've seen them.
424
00:26:30,757 --> 00:26:33,217
If he did, he had to have known
there was a kid in that ditch.
425
00:26:33,301 --> 00:26:36,179
Have to do better than that.
"Must have's" are not gonna sway a jury.
426
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:39,932
We got a couple hours before the trial.
I'm gonna help you prep.
427
00:26:40,058 --> 00:26:43,061
I'm gonna get some moo shu and we're
gonna do a little mock trial here.
428
00:26:43,144 --> 00:26:44,020
-No. No.
-Huh?
429
00:26:44,103 --> 00:26:47,231
You sat on Teresa all weekend,
you did your part.
430
00:26:48,107 --> 00:26:51,319
I just... I need to think, okay?
431
00:26:52,362 --> 00:26:53,654
Let me do my job.
432
00:26:53,738 --> 00:26:54,864
You sure?
433
00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:56,908
I do a mean Jersey girl.
434
00:26:58,076 --> 00:26:59,619
I already got the gum. See?
435
00:27:00,453 --> 00:27:01,371
Go.
436
00:27:02,413 --> 00:27:04,040
You're gonna do good tomorrow.
437
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,917
-Goodnight, Fish.
-[door opens]
438
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,126
Night.
439
00:27:08,002 --> 00:27:09,879
-[door closes]
-[sighs]
440
00:27:17,845 --> 00:27:19,055
[footsteps]
441
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,267
[DiAngelo] I didn't mean to scare you.
442
00:27:24,435 --> 00:27:25,561
You didn't.
443
00:27:27,814 --> 00:27:31,401
You know what kind of message it sends,
you disrespecting me in public.
444
00:27:33,486 --> 00:27:36,823
-Don't walk away from me!
-I'm walking to my car, Officer.
445
00:27:36,906 --> 00:27:38,908
There's a time and a place
to discuss legal matters.
446
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:41,661
How is it you still don't get
that we're a team?
447
00:27:44,163 --> 00:27:46,290
The N.A.P. wanted their best man
on this case,
448
00:27:46,374 --> 00:27:48,376
and like it or not, it was me.
449
00:27:49,377 --> 00:27:52,797
You wanna be a part of a team,
join a softball league.
450
00:27:53,631 --> 00:27:55,174
With a little more conviction.
451
00:27:56,968 --> 00:27:58,094
Excuse me?
452
00:27:59,137 --> 00:28:00,638
You didn't really own it.
453
00:28:02,098 --> 00:28:03,724
I caught a little quiver in your cheek.
454
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:06,936
I got something for you.
455
00:28:14,277 --> 00:28:16,821
You want to shake her up tomorrow,
use this.
456
00:28:18,281 --> 00:28:19,323
What is it?
457
00:28:19,657 --> 00:28:22,160
That's a little thing called
"inherent bias."
458
00:28:22,243 --> 00:28:24,078
It works both ways.
459
00:28:25,621 --> 00:28:27,457
People gunning for us,
460
00:28:27,540 --> 00:28:29,375
'cause they can't raise their own families without asking us for our help.
461
00:28:33,838 --> 00:28:35,423
At the end of the day,
462
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:39,802
this whole thing is one big clusterfuck
of Mommy and Daddy issues.
463
00:28:39,886 --> 00:28:43,639
Like I said, you're gonna enjoy
what is on that.
464
00:28:47,101 --> 00:28:49,103
And whatever you think about me...
465
00:28:52,356 --> 00:28:53,775
he's a good kid.
466
00:28:54,358 --> 00:28:55,526
A naive one...
467
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:58,029
with his own Daddy issues.
468
00:28:59,697 --> 00:29:03,493
But that's how you like 'em.
Fatherless sons.
469
00:29:03,951 --> 00:29:05,119
Do your job.
470
00:29:07,121 --> 00:29:08,581
Get Jablonski off.
471
00:29:20,927 --> 00:29:25,223
Is it--
Is it true, in fact, Ms. Tonelli, that--
472
00:29:25,306 --> 00:29:27,141
-[indistinct TV chatter]
-[sighs]
473
00:29:27,225 --> 00:29:28,476
Come on, KJ.
474
00:29:29,227 --> 00:29:30,561
That you are...
475
00:29:30,645 --> 00:29:32,230
[banging on door]
476
00:29:32,647 --> 00:29:33,773
[sighs]
477
00:29:34,774 --> 00:29:36,275
[doorbell rings continuously]
478
00:29:36,359 --> 00:29:38,778
-Oh, shit.
-[banging on door]
479
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,406
You ready to go?
480
00:29:42,490 --> 00:29:45,535
-Give me a minute, I gotta change.
-We're gonna be late, giddyup.
481
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,329
Put the yellow folders in my bag.
482
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:50,039
-Please.
-Where are they?
483
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:52,250
On the couch or somewhere.
484
00:29:53,376 --> 00:29:54,961
The city's gonna condemn this place.
485
00:29:55,044 --> 00:29:56,921
I'm telling you,
it looks like my Uncle Joe's,
486
00:29:57,004 --> 00:29:58,548
and that guy was a bona fide hoarder.
487
00:29:58,631 --> 00:30:01,968
-He used to use plastic bags as a toilet.
-[news report plays indistinctly]
488
00:30:02,051 --> 00:30:03,970
I'm telling you,
it's a slippery slope, KJ.
489
00:30:04,053 --> 00:30:06,973
[woman on TV] ...Ms. Harper's bias
against the police may prove her unfit
490
00:30:07,056 --> 00:30:08,808
to try the Brenton Butler case.
491
00:30:08,891 --> 00:30:12,228
-Like you know how to do your [bleep] job.
-[officer] Excuse me?
492
00:30:12,562 --> 00:30:17,316
-[KJ] Agh! Now you want to act like a cop.
-[officer] What'd you say to me?
493
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,195
[KJ] You heard me the first time.
So tell that [bleep]
494
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:25,157
-to give me my [bleep] car back!
-[officer] Calm down, ma'am.
495
00:30:26,951 --> 00:30:30,580
Why don't you mind your [bleep] business?
496
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:32,456
-You're all racist...
-Let's go. Come on.
497
00:30:32,540 --> 00:30:34,125
-Let's go.
-...every one of you cops!
498
00:30:34,208 --> 00:30:37,253
I am an assistant prosecutor.
499
00:30:38,254 --> 00:30:40,214
[low murmurs]
500
00:30:41,007 --> 00:30:42,466
[chuckling]
501
00:30:43,467 --> 00:30:46,095
[woman] Seriously. Come on.
502
00:30:46,762 --> 00:30:48,472
[chuckles, murmurs continuing]
503
00:31:01,152 --> 00:31:02,737
Sit down. Cool your jets.
504
00:31:04,405 --> 00:31:05,323
Sit down.
505
00:31:07,783 --> 00:31:08,910
[deputy] All rise.
506
00:31:09,994 --> 00:31:12,204
The honorable
Judge Robert Dolan presiding.
507
00:31:16,250 --> 00:31:17,543
[Dolan] Bring the jury in.
508
00:31:26,886 --> 00:31:28,054
Everyone be seated.
509
00:31:32,183 --> 00:31:33,643
May counsel approach?
510
00:31:41,484 --> 00:31:45,112
Your Honor, we're all painfully aware
of the news cycle this morning.
511
00:31:45,196 --> 00:31:46,405
Your point, Counselor?
512
00:31:47,198 --> 00:31:51,118
Frankly, it makes these proceedings look
like an episode of the Jersey Shore.
513
00:31:51,494 --> 00:31:53,579
The State may benefit from new counsel.
514
00:31:53,663 --> 00:31:57,041
With all due respect, Your Honor,
that's not the court's decision to make.
515
00:31:57,124 --> 00:32:00,920
Agreed. Now, ladies,
can we get back to the point at hand?
516
00:32:01,003 --> 00:32:03,339
Yes? Good. Thank you.
517
00:32:03,422 --> 00:32:05,883
Ms. Harper, you may proceed.
518
00:32:08,177 --> 00:32:09,512
I know you did it.
519
00:32:09,595 --> 00:32:12,932
And what are you gonna do?
Throw a punch at me too? Go ahead.
520
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:16,686
[baby coos]
521
00:32:24,193 --> 00:32:26,570
The State calls Teresa Tonelli.
522
00:32:49,510 --> 00:32:50,594
Raise your right hand.
523
00:32:51,137 --> 00:32:52,638
-It's the other hand, ma'am.
-Sorry.
524
00:32:52,722 --> 00:32:53,973
Left hand on the Bible.
525
00:32:55,266 --> 00:32:57,727
Swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
526
00:32:57,810 --> 00:32:58,894
so help you God?
527
00:32:59,437 --> 00:33:01,272
I do. Okay.
528
00:33:03,774 --> 00:33:04,817
[KJ] Ms. Tonelli,
529
00:33:05,443 --> 00:33:08,362
when you borrowed the blue Ford Escape
530
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,490
on the morning of February 22nd,
531
00:33:12,908 --> 00:33:16,203
you had an altercation
with the defendant, correct?
532
00:33:16,287 --> 00:33:17,538
I don't remember.
533
00:33:18,539 --> 00:33:20,124
I just, um--
534
00:33:20,207 --> 00:33:21,584
Petey was upset, whatever.
535
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:24,086
[KJ] Because you drove his car
seven days after the hit-and-run?
536
00:33:24,170 --> 00:33:25,963
No, 'cause Marie had been in the hospital.
537
00:33:26,672 --> 00:33:28,591
They lost their baby girl last year.
538
00:33:28,924 --> 00:33:30,593
She was stillborn.
539
00:33:30,676 --> 00:33:31,802
It was terrible.
540
00:33:34,513 --> 00:33:36,223
"You ever touch this truck again,
541
00:33:36,307 --> 00:33:38,976
and I swear to God,
I'll fucking kill you."
542
00:33:41,562 --> 00:33:44,065
Do you recall the defendant
saying those words to you?
543
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,484
Can the clerk please mark the interview
with the neighbor,
544
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:49,153
Mr. Howard Beggs, as State's Exhibit S-3.
545
00:33:50,654 --> 00:33:54,033
I'd like to direct your attention
to line ten, page five.
546
00:33:54,116 --> 00:33:56,827
And I remind you, you're under oath.
547
00:33:59,872 --> 00:34:01,207
Yeah, he said that.
548
00:34:02,500 --> 00:34:05,961
Whatever. He told me to get out
of the car. It wasn't a big deal.
549
00:34:06,045 --> 00:34:09,090
He grabbed you by the neck,
dragged you out of the car,
550
00:34:09,173 --> 00:34:10,341
and threw you against it.
551
00:34:10,424 --> 00:34:11,675
-Really?
-Objection.
552
00:34:11,759 --> 00:34:14,136
-Is that a question, Your Honor?
-It is. Sit down.
553
00:34:14,220 --> 00:34:17,181
I'll be the arbitrator of that,
not you, Ms. Harper.
554
00:34:17,515 --> 00:34:19,475
Your objection, Ms. Hennessy,
is overruled.
555
00:34:23,229 --> 00:34:24,271
Counselor.
556
00:34:27,399 --> 00:34:29,568
Are you afraid of the defendant,
Ms. Tonelli?
557
00:34:30,694 --> 00:34:31,904
No.
558
00:34:31,987 --> 00:34:34,031
Are you afraid he might hurt your cousin?
559
00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:37,952
He better not.
560
00:34:39,662 --> 00:34:42,706
[KJ] Yet he left a boy
out in the cold to die.
561
00:34:43,207 --> 00:34:45,209
A child, a black child--
562
00:34:45,292 --> 00:34:46,710
Objection, speculation.
563
00:34:46,794 --> 00:34:48,254
[Dolan] Sustained.
564
00:34:48,337 --> 00:34:50,172
Why did you go to Brenton Butler's vigil?
565
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:56,804
He was just a kid.
566
00:34:59,056 --> 00:35:01,433
He shouldn't have died like that.
567
00:35:02,685 --> 00:35:04,353
[KJ] He could have lived.
568
00:35:04,436 --> 00:35:07,731
If one person spoke up. Just one.
569
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,734
I know you're scared.
570
00:35:11,527 --> 00:35:13,445
And I know how easy it is
571
00:35:13,529 --> 00:35:16,532
to walk away and to say nothing,
572
00:35:17,366 --> 00:35:20,286
but you know the truth,
and you know right from wrong.
573
00:35:20,369 --> 00:35:21,537
Objection!
574
00:35:21,996 --> 00:35:23,873
Don't leave him out in the cold, Teresa,
please.
575
00:35:23,956 --> 00:35:26,292
[Sam] Objection!
Is there a question here, Your Honor?
576
00:35:26,834 --> 00:35:28,169
[Dolan] Ask the question, Counselor.
577
00:35:28,627 --> 00:35:30,671
-Where's the blue SUV?
-I don't know.
578
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:33,924
[KJ] You do know, that's why you went
to the park, to the vigil.
579
00:35:34,008 --> 00:35:36,886
-I said I don't know where it is.
-This is outrageous, Your Honor.
580
00:35:36,969 --> 00:35:39,597
-Where's the missing grille guard?
-She's harassing her own witness.
581
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,058
-Where is it, Teresa? Tell me.
-[Dolan] Counselors, approach now.
582
00:35:43,475 --> 00:35:45,769
[KJ] He was bleeding and screaming
583
00:35:45,853 --> 00:35:49,148
-and dying alone. A child.
-Objection! Your Honor, please.
584
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:51,233
-Be that one person, Teresa...
-She is violating--
585
00:35:51,317 --> 00:35:52,985
...and tell me where
the missing grille guard is.
586
00:35:53,068 --> 00:35:54,361
It's not missing!
587
00:35:54,445 --> 00:35:56,530
[Teresa crying]
588
00:35:59,408 --> 00:36:01,035
It's in his backyard.
589
00:36:01,118 --> 00:36:02,453
[indistinct murmuring]
590
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:08,542
[Marie] Teresa!
591
00:36:08,626 --> 00:36:09,710
[Marie sobbing]
592
00:36:11,170 --> 00:36:12,463
Teresa!
593
00:36:15,132 --> 00:36:16,217
How could you do that?
594
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:17,426
Get Mikey. Go quick.
595
00:36:17,509 --> 00:36:19,762
-We can go now before it's too late.
-You're crazy!
596
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:23,515
Me? How can you not see what they are?
They planted that thing in your pool.
597
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:25,351
-They don't care about you.
-Fucking bitch!
598
00:36:25,434 --> 00:36:28,562
-You fucking bitch! You fucking bitch!
-[DiAngelo] Get off!
599
00:36:28,646 --> 00:36:29,813
You fucking bitch!
600
00:36:29,897 --> 00:36:31,482
You son of a bitch!
601
00:36:31,565 --> 00:36:32,483
The baby!
602
00:36:32,566 --> 00:36:34,485
[Teresa] There won't be a baby!
603
00:36:34,568 --> 00:36:37,988
You think I'm gonna bring your child
into this world? For what?
604
00:36:38,072 --> 00:36:39,949
What kind of father are you gonna be?
605
00:36:40,032 --> 00:36:42,368
You kill kids
and you're looking at me like that? -Yo, stop! Stop! Come on.
-Fuck you.
606
00:36:45,454 --> 00:36:49,208
Now we got something in common, Pete.
You and me.
607
00:36:50,501 --> 00:36:51,627
We're the same.
608
00:36:53,379 --> 00:36:55,089
-Fuck!
-[Teresa sobbing]
609
00:36:58,092 --> 00:36:59,426
[engine starts]
610
00:37:02,263 --> 00:37:03,847
[tires screech]
611
00:37:06,517 --> 00:37:09,353
Hey, hey.
I didn't have nothing to do with this.
612
00:37:09,436 --> 00:37:11,313
I told them to get rid of it. Fuck. Babe, come on, let's go, let's go.
613
00:37:14,441 --> 00:37:15,943
You stupid fuck!
614
00:37:16,735 --> 00:37:19,280
Hey! I'm talking to you!
I'm fucking talking to you!
615
00:37:19,363 --> 00:37:20,906
Back the fuck off!
616
00:37:21,532 --> 00:37:23,867
No one is listening to you no more!
617
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:27,204
You destroy everyone around you!
618
00:37:27,579 --> 00:37:29,415
Everything you fucking touch!
619
00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:32,209
Just look around you, man.
620
00:37:33,127 --> 00:37:34,128
Just look.
621
00:37:37,798 --> 00:37:39,550
Let's get the fuck out of here.
622
00:37:51,979 --> 00:37:53,856
[indistinct police radio chatter]
623
00:38:01,989 --> 00:38:03,365
-What is this?
-Mrs. Butler, Mr. Butler.
624
00:38:03,449 --> 00:38:05,451
What is this?
What does this mean for the case?
625
00:38:05,534 --> 00:38:06,744
It means we got him.
626
00:38:07,244 --> 00:38:10,706
And we can get the other three now too
by turning Jablonski against them.
627
00:38:10,789 --> 00:38:12,708
-In exchange for a plea.
-A plea?
628
00:38:13,334 --> 00:38:15,252
We won't agree.
He's got to pay for what he did.
629
00:38:15,336 --> 00:38:17,171
He'll still do time, I promise you that.
630
00:38:17,254 --> 00:38:19,882
-But we can get all of them with this.
-How much time?
631
00:38:20,758 --> 00:38:24,094
I have to be reasonable
or he won't agree to it. Eight years.
632
00:38:24,678 --> 00:38:26,096
[Latrice sighs]
633
00:38:26,180 --> 00:38:28,349
You make him get on that stand
and say what he did.
634
00:38:28,432 --> 00:38:29,266
Yeah.
635
00:38:30,142 --> 00:38:33,187
You're right. He's got to.
He's got to get up on that stand, KJ.
636
00:38:33,270 --> 00:38:35,939
I need to hear those words
come out of his mouth.
637
00:38:36,023 --> 00:38:38,108
-I want that whole courtroom to hear it.
-I understand.
638
00:38:38,192 --> 00:38:40,694
-I need to hear what happened to Brenton!
-He will. I understand.
639
00:38:40,778 --> 00:38:43,739
All right, baby. It's almost over.
640
00:38:43,822 --> 00:38:46,617
-I need to hear him say it.
-It's almost over.
641
00:38:54,083 --> 00:38:56,710
[car door opens, closes]
642
00:38:58,670 --> 00:39:00,130
[car door opens, closes]
643
00:39:00,214 --> 00:39:01,298
[engine starts]
644
00:39:02,925 --> 00:39:05,219
[Sam]
He'll give a written statement, that's it.
645
00:39:05,636 --> 00:39:08,097
I won't have my hands tied
if this thing goes south.
646
00:39:08,722 --> 00:39:11,809
There's no deal if your client
doesn't testify in open court.
647
00:39:12,893 --> 00:39:17,356
Okay. I know your experience is limited,
so let me break this down for you.
648
00:39:17,898 --> 00:39:22,528
My client is guaranteed death by auto,
five to ten years,
649
00:39:22,611 --> 00:39:25,072
if the jury hears him confess
to the accident.
650
00:39:25,531 --> 00:39:27,408
Would you rather gamble with 30?
651
00:39:27,950 --> 00:39:29,660
That's if you can prove a hate crime.
652
00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:31,745
Which you've failed at miserably
up to now.
653
00:39:39,336 --> 00:39:41,839
Wait, we want a plea.
654
00:39:41,922 --> 00:39:43,966
-I ain't no rat.
-Petey.
655
00:39:44,049 --> 00:39:45,843
They put that thing in our pool.
656
00:39:47,052 --> 00:39:49,012
You don't have to be loyal to them.
657
00:39:49,096 --> 00:39:51,265
Mrs. Jablonski. Please.
658
00:39:54,768 --> 00:39:56,478
Five years max,
659
00:39:56,562 --> 00:39:57,938
you get your confession.
660
00:39:58,021 --> 00:39:59,773
My last offer.
661
00:40:00,607 --> 00:40:01,608
Eight years.
662
00:40:05,737 --> 00:40:07,114
Can we have a minute?
663
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:20,711
Eight years for him
and 20 each for the other three.
664
00:40:21,462 --> 00:40:23,297
That's almost 70 years in total.
665
00:40:24,631 --> 00:40:27,217
Think a lifetime's long enough
for the Butlers?
666
00:40:27,301 --> 00:40:28,302
[Fish chuckles]
667
00:40:30,804 --> 00:40:32,890
Did you see the look on the jury's faces
668
00:40:32,973 --> 00:40:35,392
when she paraded around
those autopsy photos?
669
00:40:35,476 --> 00:40:38,437
-They don't like you very much right now.
-Fuck them.
670
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:39,646
No. Fuck you.
671
00:40:40,105 --> 00:40:41,815
Fuck your wife, fuck your kid.
672
00:40:42,357 --> 00:40:44,902
He'll be 30 by the time
you get out of prison.
673
00:40:47,237 --> 00:40:51,992
I urge you to consider eight years
and a confession your best option.
674
00:40:54,912 --> 00:40:56,622
[protestors shouting indistinctly]
675
00:41:01,752 --> 00:41:03,086
[indistinct chatter]
676
00:41:04,922 --> 00:41:08,091
Hey, um, why don't you go inside?
I'll be there in a minute.
677
00:41:08,425 --> 00:41:09,551
Okay.
678
00:41:18,310 --> 00:41:19,311
[exhales]
679
00:41:32,824 --> 00:41:36,245
I'd kill you myself,
but then I'd be no better than you are.
680
00:41:38,705 --> 00:41:39,998
But know this...
681
00:41:41,959 --> 00:41:44,378
you will meet your God.
682
00:41:46,255 --> 00:41:48,423
On that you can depend.
683
00:41:50,801 --> 00:41:51,969
You making threats?
684
00:41:52,052 --> 00:41:53,637
No, no need for threats.
685
00:41:54,888 --> 00:41:58,600
Prison's the one place a white man
ain't no better than the rest of us.
686
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:01,687
They gonna kill you in there.
687
00:42:04,773 --> 00:42:06,692
[chuckles]
688
00:42:07,317 --> 00:42:08,402
Oh, you don't know?
689
00:42:10,571 --> 00:42:12,239
Your boy's gonna give you up.
690
00:42:14,032 --> 00:42:15,492
He's gonna save himself.
691
00:42:21,832 --> 00:42:23,125
I see what you are.
692
00:42:26,712 --> 00:42:28,171
I know what you are.
693
00:42:30,173 --> 00:42:32,009
You ain't nothing but a coward.
694
00:42:35,596 --> 00:42:38,390
And the whole world's
gonna see it now, too.
695
00:42:59,911 --> 00:43:01,747
His diaper's soaked.
Just give me a minute.
696
00:43:01,830 --> 00:43:03,081
-We gotta go now.
-What?
697
00:43:03,165 --> 00:43:04,958
I'll get the bag. But let's go now.
698
00:43:05,042 --> 00:43:05,959
[baby coos]
699
00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:21,642
[elevator dings]
700
00:43:25,854 --> 00:43:27,481
I need to change Mikey.
701
00:43:30,859 --> 00:43:32,152
-I'll wait out here.
-I'm fine.
702
00:43:32,235 --> 00:43:34,988
Just-- I'll meet you inside.
Hennessy might need to talk to you.
703
00:43:35,947 --> 00:43:37,699
It's gonna be okay, babe.
704
00:43:38,450 --> 00:43:41,745
I'm proud of you for doing this.
You're doing this for us.
705
00:43:42,621 --> 00:43:44,164
-Okay?
-Yeah.
706
00:43:45,832 --> 00:43:46,667
I love you.
707
00:43:46,750 --> 00:43:48,168
[baby cries]
708
00:43:57,302 --> 00:43:58,804
I know what you're gonna do.
709
00:44:05,185 --> 00:44:06,186
Do it.
710
00:44:09,398 --> 00:44:11,525
Do it for your family, your son.
711
00:44:13,777 --> 00:44:14,695
I understand.
712
00:44:21,993 --> 00:44:23,078
It was me.
713
00:44:25,622 --> 00:44:28,125
I made you drive away.
714
00:44:31,753 --> 00:44:33,046
So you go in there,
715
00:44:34,631 --> 00:44:36,049
and you tell them the truth.
716
00:44:39,678 --> 00:44:40,721
Go on. Go.
717
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:17,382
Mrs. Butler.
718
00:45:19,301 --> 00:45:20,510
I'm so...
719
00:45:21,887 --> 00:45:23,763
so sorry for your loss.
720
00:45:26,266 --> 00:45:27,350
I can't...
721
00:45:29,102 --> 00:45:34,316
I can't imagine what you're going through,
and I can't imagine losing my child.
722
00:45:35,275 --> 00:45:36,359
I know...
723
00:45:37,319 --> 00:45:41,156
there's nothing I can do
to make it up to you. I know that.
724
00:45:43,325 --> 00:45:44,868
But it was an accident.
725
00:45:47,954 --> 00:45:50,290
My husband is a good man.
726
00:45:52,125 --> 00:45:55,170
Your husband drove away from my child.
727
00:45:56,546 --> 00:45:58,715
How could you sit in that courtroom
728
00:45:59,174 --> 00:46:01,635
knowing what you know
and say those words to me?
729
00:46:01,718 --> 00:46:02,844
He didn't know.
730
00:46:02,928 --> 00:46:05,764
He would've never done that if he knew.
731
00:46:06,389 --> 00:46:07,307
He wouldn't.
732
00:46:07,390 --> 00:46:10,560
There's a whole lot he doesn't know,
that you don't know.
733
00:46:12,687 --> 00:46:14,606
That man you sit next to...
734
00:46:15,732 --> 00:46:16,733
in court...
735
00:46:18,026 --> 00:46:19,110
every day?
736
00:46:19,736 --> 00:46:21,488
The one you let hold your baby?
737
00:46:22,739 --> 00:46:24,407
He wanted your husband dead.
738
00:46:45,845 --> 00:46:47,264
[inaudible]
739
00:47:08,577 --> 00:47:09,703
[deputy] All rise.
740
00:47:11,871 --> 00:47:13,957
The honorable
Judge Robert Dolan presiding.
741
00:47:21,590 --> 00:47:24,384
[KJ] Can you state your name and rank
for the record?
742
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:28,096
Officer Peter Michael Jablonski,
Jersey City Police Department.
743
00:47:28,513 --> 00:47:31,224
You transferred from the East District
to the South.
744
00:47:31,725 --> 00:47:33,602
What was the reason for this transfer?
745
00:47:33,685 --> 00:47:37,647
I joined the Anti-Gang and Narcotics Unit,
which is based out of the South.
746
00:47:38,189 --> 00:47:41,067
Your ranking officer
is Sergeant Michael DiAngelo.
747
00:47:41,651 --> 00:47:44,738
And you're expected to obey his orders,
is that true?
748
00:47:46,906 --> 00:47:48,199
[Pete] That's correct.
749
00:47:48,283 --> 00:47:50,744
[KJ] Directing your attention
to the morning of February 15th,
750
00:47:51,661 --> 00:47:55,165
can you recount the events
that transpired in Liberty Park?
751
00:47:56,499 --> 00:47:58,918
I'd just gotten a call
from my wife's cousin.
752
00:47:59,919 --> 00:48:02,255
Said Marie, my wife,
753
00:48:02,339 --> 00:48:03,590
was in the hospital.
754
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,678
I was driving, on the phone,
755
00:48:09,346 --> 00:48:10,680
not paying attention...
756
00:48:12,098 --> 00:48:14,225
and I, uh-- I hit something.
757
00:48:14,934 --> 00:48:15,977
Something?
758
00:48:18,855 --> 00:48:21,191
What did you hit, Mr. Jablonski?
759
00:48:22,233 --> 00:48:23,401
I didn't see.
760
00:48:24,986 --> 00:48:28,114
And when I got out of my car,
I saw the grille guard hanging off.
761
00:48:29,407 --> 00:48:30,283
And...
762
00:48:31,368 --> 00:48:33,703
that bike underneath my wheels.
763
00:48:37,207 --> 00:48:41,252
Is it true that officers found
that grille guard in your backyard
764
00:48:41,336 --> 00:48:43,505
after executing a search warrant
last night?
765
00:48:49,010 --> 00:48:50,011
Yes.
766
00:48:51,012 --> 00:48:52,055
And this bike...
767
00:48:53,515 --> 00:48:55,433
is it present in the courtroom today?
768
00:48:56,309 --> 00:48:58,478
Yes. At the evidence table.
769
00:49:00,146 --> 00:49:03,733
So you were fully aware
that you hit a human being?
770
00:49:04,818 --> 00:49:05,902
Not an animal, not a tree.
771
00:49:08,738 --> 00:49:09,906
Maybe a black teenager?
772
00:49:09,989 --> 00:49:12,033
Objection, conjecture.
773
00:49:12,117 --> 00:49:13,952
I'll rephrase, Your Honor.
774
00:49:20,834 --> 00:49:23,169
Are narcotics officers like yourself
775
00:49:23,253 --> 00:49:27,424
aware that this particular brand of bike,
the Sarongo Series,
776
00:49:27,507 --> 00:49:31,511
is used by members of the Five Kings,
a black gang in Jersey City?
777
00:49:33,763 --> 00:49:36,391
Yeah, but I didn't look too close at it.
778
00:49:36,474 --> 00:49:38,768
So it would be a reasonable assumption
779
00:49:38,852 --> 00:49:42,439
that whoever had been riding this bike
could've been black?
780
00:49:45,942 --> 00:49:47,527
I wasn't thinking about the bike.
781
00:49:47,610 --> 00:49:50,071
Your Honor, the State agreed
that questioning
782
00:49:50,155 --> 00:49:53,783
would be limited to the actual events
of February 15th.
783
00:49:54,117 --> 00:49:56,369
Ms. Harper, you are aware of this.
784
00:49:58,496 --> 00:50:01,708
What happened next,
after you exited your vehicle?
785
00:50:03,835 --> 00:50:06,254
I stood there on the road
next to my car...
786
00:50:07,630 --> 00:50:09,299
looking at the statue.
787
00:50:09,591 --> 00:50:11,050
The Statue of Liberty.
788
00:50:12,427 --> 00:50:15,513
I could see her, even her torch,
it was lit up.
789
00:50:15,597 --> 00:50:18,016
How long did you stand there,
on the road?
790
00:50:18,099 --> 00:50:19,893
-I don't know.
-Was it a few minutes?
791
00:50:19,976 --> 00:50:21,519
-A few seconds?
-I don't know.
792
00:50:21,603 --> 00:50:23,605
Did you go to the ditch
to see who was down there?
793
00:50:23,980 --> 00:50:26,191
I told you, I stood on the road
looking at the statue.
794
00:50:26,274 --> 00:50:29,277
There was blood everywhere
and you didn't think to go and look?
795
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,279
-[Sam] Your Honor--
-I was thinking about the statue
796
00:50:31,362 --> 00:50:34,324
and this time when I climbed the stairs
inside her torch...
797
00:50:35,116 --> 00:50:36,826
when I was eight or nine.
798
00:50:38,077 --> 00:50:40,747
My mother was standing on the stairs
in front of me.
799
00:50:41,706 --> 00:50:44,209
And I could see the bruises
on the back of her legs.
800
00:50:44,918 --> 00:50:47,670
-That's what I was thinking about.
-[KJ] Mr. Jablonski.
801
00:50:49,672 --> 00:50:51,132
That's why I became a cop.
802
00:50:51,633 --> 00:50:53,635
Because of animals like my father.
803
00:50:53,718 --> 00:50:56,721
-I was never gonna be a coward like him.
-Mr. Jablonski.
804
00:50:57,388 --> 00:50:59,015
What did you do next?
805
00:51:03,812 --> 00:51:05,271
Mr. Jablonski.
806
00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:18,201
I drove away.
807
00:51:18,952 --> 00:51:20,286
[indistinct murmuring]
808
00:51:26,209 --> 00:51:28,211
Let me remind you that you're under oath.
809
00:51:28,294 --> 00:51:30,338
Your Honor,
the question's been asked and answered.
810
00:51:30,421 --> 00:51:32,632
-What did you do next?
-I said I drove away.
811
00:51:32,715 --> 00:51:35,468
-That's not what you did and you know it.
-[Dolan] Counselor, approach now.
812
00:51:35,552 --> 00:51:38,012
-What did you do after you exited?
-Ms. Harper, that is enough!
813
00:51:38,096 --> 00:51:40,473
-Say it. Say what you did.
-[Sam] Your Honor, please.
814
00:51:40,557 --> 00:51:41,933
Say what you did, goddamn it!
815
00:51:42,016 --> 00:51:43,476
[Dolan]
Remove Ms. Harper from my courtroom.
816
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,019
Say what you did.
Say what you did--
817
00:51:45,103 --> 00:51:46,229
-Let's go.
-Don't touch me!
818
00:51:46,312 --> 00:51:47,230
Say what you did!
819
00:51:47,313 --> 00:51:50,400
-[Dolan] Arrest her for contempt of court.
-Look at them and say what you did.
820
00:51:50,483 --> 00:51:52,569
-Get off. Get off of me.
-Stop resisting.
821
00:51:52,652 --> 00:51:53,736
You're an asshole.
822
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,321
Stop resisting.
823
00:51:55,405 --> 00:51:56,656
Take it easy.
824
00:51:57,490 --> 00:51:58,908
[KJ] Get the fuck off me!
825
00:51:58,992 --> 00:52:01,244
[crowd murmuring]
826
00:52:21,681 --> 00:52:22,765
[door opens]
827
00:52:22,849 --> 00:52:24,684
[keys jingling]
828
00:52:32,317 --> 00:52:34,027
We gotta stop meeting like this.
829
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:35,904
[door lock buzzes nearby]
830
00:52:37,196 --> 00:52:39,657
Dolan wants to move forward,
no bueno on the mistrial.
831
00:52:39,741 --> 00:52:41,993
And he's gonna let you do
your closing tomorrow.
832
00:52:42,076 --> 00:52:43,494
Fair guy.
833
00:52:43,578 --> 00:52:46,831
Connelly, on the other hand,
wants your resignation after.
834
00:52:46,915 --> 00:52:50,126
-And he sent you to deliver the message.
-No, he told the press that.
835
00:52:51,419 --> 00:52:52,587
Of course he did.
836
00:52:55,214 --> 00:52:56,758
"Sit in the box,
837
00:52:57,967 --> 00:53:01,721
and see what the jury sees."
It's Trial Prep 101.
838
00:53:04,724 --> 00:53:06,309
Today they saw
839
00:53:06,809 --> 00:53:08,561
a broken-hearted little boy
840
00:53:08,978 --> 00:53:10,897
gazing up at the Statue of Liberty.
841
00:53:11,773 --> 00:53:13,066
Fucking great.
842
00:53:15,443 --> 00:53:16,986
They don't get to see Brenton.
843
00:53:17,070 --> 00:53:19,280
-He doesn't get to take the stand.
-Make them see him.
844
00:53:19,364 --> 00:53:21,366
I did, no one cares!
845
00:53:22,116 --> 00:53:24,994
I told you, no one puts cops away.
846
00:53:25,411 --> 00:53:28,790
I wasn't ever gonna win this.
It was always about optics for Connelly,
847
00:53:28,873 --> 00:53:31,000
a black face for the black vote.
848
00:53:31,542 --> 00:53:33,670
It's the greatest show on earth,
this shit.
849
00:53:36,631 --> 00:53:38,091
-Wanna know something else?
-Hmm?
850
00:53:38,174 --> 00:53:39,759
-I'm a second-rate lawyer.
-Mmm.
851
00:53:39,842 --> 00:53:42,261
I can't win. I won't win. So...
852
00:53:42,971 --> 00:53:44,055
just go.
853
00:53:44,138 --> 00:53:45,932
-That might be true.
-It is fucking true.
854
00:53:46,015 --> 00:53:48,351
Okay, then it is. You suck. Now get up.
855
00:53:49,936 --> 00:53:54,065
You got a dead kid to speak for.
You got two dead kids... to speak for.
856
00:53:54,524 --> 00:53:56,985
-You're all that they've got left.
-It's over, Fish.
857
00:53:59,028 --> 00:54:00,196
Tell that to him.
858
00:54:01,864 --> 00:54:02,782
Not me.
859
00:54:03,408 --> 00:54:04,534
You wanna quit? But tell Brenton that.
860
00:54:10,456 --> 00:54:11,791
I'm sick of hearing it.
861
00:54:12,375 --> 00:54:14,877
-[KJ sighs]
-[Fish knocks]
862
00:54:31,811 --> 00:54:35,857
[woman over PA] This is your last call
for departure to Baton Rouge. The bus...
863
00:54:35,940 --> 00:54:37,942
[announcement continues indistinctly]
864
00:54:45,408 --> 00:54:48,077
Mr. Butler told me you were leaving,
so I...
865
00:54:49,495 --> 00:54:50,747
Can I sit down?
866
00:54:52,331 --> 00:54:54,250
I'd like to ask you something.
867
00:54:56,294 --> 00:54:58,671
You were the last person that Brenton saw.
868
00:54:59,797 --> 00:55:03,426
-The last person he talked to--
-What do you want from me, Mrs. Butler?
869
00:55:05,178 --> 00:55:08,056
Anything. Just anything. I just...
870
00:55:08,598 --> 00:55:12,185
want to know what he...
what he said, what he was thinking.
871
00:55:16,773 --> 00:55:20,610
I woke up that morning.
Brenton was next to me.
872
00:55:21,527 --> 00:55:22,612
That's all.
873
00:55:26,282 --> 00:55:27,825
Was he happy?
874
00:55:35,374 --> 00:55:36,501
He was home.
875
00:55:40,713 --> 00:55:42,215
He sprayed that stuff...
876
00:55:44,092 --> 00:55:45,134
that cologne...
877
00:55:47,386 --> 00:55:48,846
before he left.
878
00:55:50,890 --> 00:55:52,141
He liked that stuff.
879
00:55:54,852 --> 00:55:56,729
My room still smelled like it.
880
00:56:00,566 --> 00:56:01,567
At night...
881
00:56:03,986 --> 00:56:06,739
he used to listen to the cars
pass on the bridge.
882
00:56:09,367 --> 00:56:11,327
Brenton said it sounded like the ocean.
883
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,083
[woman over PA] Mobile, Alabama bus
departs from gate five.
884
00:56:17,166 --> 00:56:18,876
Mobile, Alabama bus.
885
00:56:19,335 --> 00:56:20,545
Kadeuce. Kadeuce, don't go.
886
00:56:22,672 --> 00:56:24,090
Please don't go.
887
00:56:25,174 --> 00:56:26,509
This is home.
888
00:56:27,552 --> 00:56:28,594
Nah.
889
00:56:30,096 --> 00:56:31,764
Home is where your people at.
890
00:56:33,474 --> 00:56:34,517
You know?
891
00:56:39,438 --> 00:56:41,274
Oh, sweetheart.
892
00:57:15,892 --> 00:57:16,726
[door closes]
893
00:57:27,737 --> 00:57:29,071
Thought you were gone.
894
00:57:30,990 --> 00:57:33,910
I was... I...
895
00:57:34,577 --> 00:57:36,037
You need a place to stay?
896
00:57:39,582 --> 00:57:40,500
Nah.
897
00:57:42,919 --> 00:57:44,754
I gotta find my own way.
898
00:57:47,507 --> 00:57:49,467
There's something out there, I just...
899
00:57:52,011 --> 00:57:53,721
I just gotta find it. You feel me?
900
00:57:59,644 --> 00:58:00,686
[Isaiah chuckles]
901
00:58:01,354 --> 00:58:03,272
It's too big for one person.
902
00:58:05,691 --> 00:58:07,360
And Tricey ain't coming back.
903
00:58:09,195 --> 00:58:10,154
[Isaiah chuckles]
904
00:58:11,948 --> 00:58:13,032
I don't blame her.
905
00:58:15,868 --> 00:58:17,161
Drove y'all away.
906
00:58:19,163 --> 00:58:21,374
My wife, my son,
907
00:58:21,874 --> 00:58:22,959
you.
908
00:58:26,045 --> 00:58:27,880
I could've done what she said.
909
00:58:28,965 --> 00:58:30,299
I could've just said it.
910
00:58:34,428 --> 00:58:35,638
At the hospital...
911
00:58:37,431 --> 00:58:39,475
she said, "Tell Brenton you love him."
912
00:58:44,313 --> 00:58:45,481
Now he'll never know.
913
00:58:48,776 --> 00:58:51,028
My son died not knowing I did.
914
00:58:55,116 --> 00:58:56,534
That day at the ocean...
915
00:59:01,414 --> 00:59:03,082
Yeah.
916
00:59:05,334 --> 00:59:06,335
You remember that day?
917
00:59:07,295 --> 00:59:08,379
You remember that?
918
00:59:12,425 --> 00:59:13,843
Isaiah, you gotta remember.
919
00:59:15,303 --> 00:59:16,304
You were there.
920
00:59:18,848 --> 00:59:21,309
I was working so much
back when he was small.
921
00:59:22,852 --> 00:59:25,563
And Tricey got sick,
there was so much to tend to.
922
00:59:26,772 --> 00:59:27,773
[exhales]
923
00:59:29,525 --> 00:59:30,735
Why you bring this up?
924
00:59:30,818 --> 00:59:33,362
Why you think Brenton
loved them seagulls so much?
925
00:59:36,824 --> 00:59:38,743
Because his father brought him there.
926
00:59:40,411 --> 00:59:41,996
Isaiah, you took that picture.
927
00:59:46,626 --> 00:59:49,795
Showed him the best day of his life.
928
00:59:52,798 --> 00:59:53,966
That's what he said.
929
00:59:56,802 --> 00:59:58,721
You ain't gotta say the words, 'Saiah.
930
01:00:00,222 --> 01:00:01,182
He knew.
931
01:00:04,518 --> 01:00:05,645
Your son...
932
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:08,564
knew...
933
01:00:09,190 --> 01:00:10,399
that you loved him.
934
01:00:22,995 --> 01:00:24,747
I'm sorry for driving you off...
935
01:00:26,832 --> 01:00:28,042
for what I did.
936
01:00:32,213 --> 01:00:33,297
I'm sorry.
937
01:00:35,424 --> 01:00:37,093
You ain't gotta apologize, bro.
938
01:00:49,188 --> 01:00:50,272
[exhales]
939
01:00:51,607 --> 01:00:52,817
I gotta go.
940
01:00:53,442 --> 01:00:54,527
Yeah. I gotta...
941
01:00:54,610 --> 01:00:56,445
Yeah. All right.
942
01:00:57,863 --> 01:00:59,073
[Isaiah] You'll find it. What you're looking for.
943
01:01:07,873 --> 01:01:10,042
And when you do, hang on.
944
01:01:29,478 --> 01:01:31,021
[birds squawking]
945
01:01:45,661 --> 01:01:47,663
[birds squawking]
946
01:03:23,634 --> 01:03:25,094
[Judge Dolan clears throat]
947
01:03:27,012 --> 01:03:28,722
[Dolan] Ms. Harper, you may begin.
948
01:03:48,117 --> 01:03:50,077
I went to the park this morning,
949
01:03:52,204 --> 01:03:54,915
to the place where
Brenton Butler lay dying.
950
01:03:58,502 --> 01:04:00,129
I wanted to imagine...
951
01:04:01,005 --> 01:04:02,131
what he felt...
952
01:04:03,632 --> 01:04:06,218
as he watched the first light
of the morning come,
953
01:04:07,094 --> 01:04:09,513
and the last light of day fade away.
954
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:12,850
As he lay there,
955
01:04:14,143 --> 01:04:15,394
in that ditch...
956
01:04:16,729 --> 01:04:18,147
for 12 hours...
957
01:04:20,232 --> 01:04:21,191
wondering what?
958
01:04:22,860 --> 01:04:23,986
For his mother,
959
01:04:25,070 --> 01:04:26,238
and for his father,
960
01:04:27,531 --> 01:04:31,076
it is a terrible thing to have to imagine,
961
01:04:32,286 --> 01:04:33,621
and not even know,
962
01:04:34,371 --> 01:04:35,581
but imagine,
963
01:04:35,956 --> 01:04:37,875
your child's last seconds.
964
01:04:40,419 --> 01:04:41,921
"Did he cry out for me?
965
01:04:43,923 --> 01:04:48,010
Did he wonder why I didn't come?
Why no one did?"
966
01:04:50,262 --> 01:04:51,597
This is what we know:
967
01:04:52,056 --> 01:04:54,642
The defendant's blue Ford Escape
968
01:04:54,725 --> 01:04:58,270
collided with the victim's bike
on an icy road
969
01:04:58,354 --> 01:05:00,397
on the morning of February 15th.
970
01:05:01,357 --> 01:05:04,276
The grille guard
from Peter Jablonski's car,
971
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,821
in addition to his own testimony,
are proof of this.
972
01:05:08,656 --> 01:05:12,993
Ladies and gentlemen, the State submits
you have no other choice
973
01:05:13,077 --> 01:05:17,539
but to find the defendant guilty
beyond a reasonable doubt
974
01:05:17,623 --> 01:05:18,874
of death by auto.
975
01:05:23,462 --> 01:05:25,381
Peter Jablonski testified...
976
01:05:27,007 --> 01:05:28,759
that after hitting Brenton Butler
977
01:05:29,635 --> 01:05:31,303
and exiting his vehicle,
978
01:05:32,262 --> 01:05:36,976
all he saw as he stood on the road
next to his car
979
01:05:37,059 --> 01:05:38,477
was the Statue of Liberty.
980
01:05:39,103 --> 01:05:43,399
I want you to remember how he described
that her torch was lit up
981
01:05:43,482 --> 01:05:45,317
like a beacon in the sun.
982
01:05:45,734 --> 01:05:48,862
And now I want you to think
about the crime scene photos that I've shown you
over the course of this trial.
983
01:05:54,368 --> 01:05:55,577
This morning...
984
01:05:56,662 --> 01:05:58,247
I too stood on that road,
985
01:05:59,081 --> 01:06:02,960
in the exact same spot
the defendant stood.
986
01:06:03,669 --> 01:06:04,712
Right here.
987
01:06:06,380 --> 01:06:09,883
It's impossible to see
the Statue of Liberty from the road.
988
01:06:09,967 --> 01:06:11,802
It is completely blocked.
989
01:06:11,885 --> 01:06:13,220
This...
990
01:06:13,512 --> 01:06:15,848
is the view from the edge of the ditch.
991
01:06:15,931 --> 01:06:16,890
[indistinct murmuring]
992
01:06:16,974 --> 01:06:20,894
So Peter Jablonski can only have seen
the Statue of Liberty
993
01:06:20,978 --> 01:06:25,899
if he stood at the edge of the ditch,
which means he saw Brenton Butler.
994
01:06:25,983 --> 01:06:27,151
[indistinct murmuring]
995
01:06:30,946 --> 01:06:34,241
How long did he stand there?
996
01:06:36,243 --> 01:06:37,619
How many seconds...
997
01:06:38,328 --> 01:06:41,290
did he look down at Brenton?
998
01:06:42,166 --> 01:06:43,292
One second?
999
01:06:44,501 --> 01:06:45,669
Two seconds?
1000
01:06:47,963 --> 01:06:49,006
Three?
1001
01:06:52,718 --> 01:06:53,886
Four?
1002
01:06:55,054 --> 01:06:56,180
Five?
1003
01:06:58,807 --> 01:07:00,059
Six seconds?
1004
01:07:02,186 --> 01:07:03,479
Seven seconds?
1005
01:07:08,817 --> 01:07:10,694
Peter Jablonski walked away.
1006
01:07:13,489 --> 01:07:14,990
And Brenton Butler died.
1007
01:07:17,242 --> 01:07:18,827
When he could have lived.
1008
01:07:21,371 --> 01:07:24,333
Would he have walked away
if Brenton were white?
1009
01:07:27,086 --> 01:07:28,087
Would you?
1010
01:07:30,672 --> 01:07:35,344
You must also consider this a hate crime,
because there is a bigger crime,
1011
01:07:36,595 --> 01:07:38,722
a bigger problem.
1012
01:07:38,806 --> 01:07:40,390
We have a problem,
1013
01:07:40,891 --> 01:07:43,477
and our country has a problem.
1014
01:07:43,936 --> 01:07:45,437
Our children are dying,
1015
01:07:45,521 --> 01:07:46,897
in plain sight,
1016
01:07:47,523 --> 01:07:50,317
left like roadkill on our playgrounds,
1017
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,194
our streets, and our sidewalks.
1018
01:07:52,611 --> 01:07:53,862
Turn on the news.
1019
01:07:55,114 --> 01:07:56,323
Open a paper.
1020
01:07:57,324 --> 01:07:59,159
And read their names.
1021
01:07:59,660 --> 01:08:04,832
Each is a clear message
to every black woman, man, and child
1022
01:08:04,915 --> 01:08:08,710
that our lives and our bodies
have no value.
1023
01:08:08,794 --> 01:08:11,130
So how many names are enough,
1024
01:08:12,131 --> 01:08:14,758
before we, before you say,
1025
01:08:15,759 --> 01:08:16,760
"Enough"?
1026
01:08:21,223 --> 01:08:24,852
The defendant said
that he never saw Brenton Butler.
1027
01:08:25,811 --> 01:08:28,856
I'd like you to see Brenton now.
1028
01:08:29,815 --> 01:08:32,651
And not how he died,
1029
01:08:34,361 --> 01:08:35,612
but how he lived.
1030
01:08:36,321 --> 01:08:39,575
See those seconds near that icy road.
