1
00:00:02,306 --> 00:00:03,525
Previously on All Rise...
2
00:00:03,568 --> 00:00:05,092
I got a call
that I lost my new apartment.
3
00:00:05,135 --> 00:00:07,094
If you still
need a place to crash,
4
00:00:07,137 --> 00:00:08,312
the offer is still open.
5
00:00:08,356 --> 00:00:10,053
It's not every day you go up
6
00:00:10,097 --> 00:00:11,402
against your buddy
in a murder trial.
7
00:00:11,446 --> 00:00:12,838
Let's make a pact.
8
00:00:12,882 --> 00:00:14,884
We keep up
our weekly jogs as usual.
9
00:00:14,927 --> 00:00:16,190
You saw Rachel?
10
00:00:16,233 --> 00:00:19,280
Amy met her hotshot
D.C. attorney boyfriend.
11
00:00:19,323 --> 00:00:21,108
We were a thing,
like, a million years ago.
12
00:00:21,151 --> 00:00:22,979
You two
were more than a thing.
13
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,155
Lo, do you still
have feelings for Andre?
14
00:00:30,943 --> 00:00:33,381
♪ The stars desert the skies
15
00:00:33,424 --> 00:00:36,819
♪ And rush to nestle
in your eyes ♪
16
00:00:36,862 --> 00:00:40,214
♪ It's magic
17
00:00:40,257 --> 00:00:45,828
♪ Without a golden wand
18
00:00:46,437 --> 00:00:52,182
♪ Or mystic charms
19
00:00:52,922 --> 00:00:57,883
♪ Fantastic things begin
20
00:00:57,927 --> 00:01:00,190
♪ When--
21
00:01:08,242 --> 00:01:10,548
Let you play a little bit.
22
00:01:10,592 --> 00:01:12,289
Good morning.
23
00:01:12,681 --> 00:01:14,204
What happened to you?
24
00:01:14,248 --> 00:01:16,206
Our daughter
thinks she's Basquiat.
25
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:18,121
Nice.
26
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:20,167
Daddy was your canvas, huh?
27
00:01:20,210 --> 00:01:21,777
How'’s the kitchen look?
28
00:01:22,169 --> 00:01:24,475
Uh, baby girl has an arm on her
29
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:27,174
and you should probably
get breakfast out this morning.
30
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:29,524
You excited
about your big day?
31
00:01:30,307 --> 00:01:32,744
Ehh. Just a little
bit of computer work.
32
00:01:33,745 --> 00:01:37,184
Robin Taylor. Come on.
33
00:01:37,227 --> 00:01:39,360
I know how much
you've been missing your job
34
00:01:39,403 --> 00:01:42,232
and a possible
interstate conspiracy case.
35
00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:44,321
It sounds exciting.
36
00:01:44,365 --> 00:01:47,150
Yeah. I do love spending
time with our little lady,
37
00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:49,152
but Lord, help me,
if I have to read
38
00:01:49,196 --> 00:01:51,676
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
one more time...
39
00:01:53,374 --> 00:01:56,246
Maybe we should
think about getting a nanny.
40
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:58,988
Uh. Lo, it'’s only
a few hours a week.
41
00:01:59,423 --> 00:02:01,295
I think the babysitter
can handle that.
42
00:02:01,338 --> 00:02:02,209
Okay.
43
00:02:02,861 --> 00:02:05,212
I'm gonna get in the shower.
44
00:02:07,649 --> 00:02:09,259
Did you have a bad dream?
45
00:02:10,042 --> 00:02:11,218
What makes you ask that?
46
00:02:12,001 --> 00:02:13,481
Mm, you're sweating.
47
00:02:21,663 --> 00:02:25,493
This writ of habeas corpus
is based on an affidavit
48
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:29,192
from Damien Owens in which
he states he is responsible
49
00:02:29,236 --> 00:02:31,412
for a murder
that took place 20 years ago,
50
00:02:31,455 --> 00:02:34,284
a murder for which my client,
Randall Mack,
51
00:02:35,285 --> 00:02:36,939
was wrongfully convicted.
52
00:02:37,461 --> 00:02:40,203
At trial, Mr. Owens
claimed he was an eyewitness
53
00:02:40,247 --> 00:02:42,379
and testified
that he saw my client
54
00:02:42,423 --> 00:02:44,468
kill the decedent
in a bar fight.
55
00:02:44,512 --> 00:02:47,428
My client was found
guilty of first degree murder
56
00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:49,560
and has spent
the last 20 years in prison
57
00:02:49,604 --> 00:02:51,562
for a crime he did not commit.
58
00:02:51,606 --> 00:02:55,218
I ask that the writ be granted
and my client released.
59
00:02:55,262 --> 00:02:56,872
Ms. Lopez, wasn't your client
60
00:02:56,915 --> 00:02:58,265
convicted by a jury who found
61
00:02:58,308 --> 00:03:01,224
that the prosecution
had proven their case
62
00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:02,704
beyond a reasonable doubt?
63
00:03:02,747 --> 00:03:04,662
Yes, Your Honor, but Mr. Owens
64
00:03:04,706 --> 00:03:07,491
was the only
eyewitness to the actual crime.
65
00:03:07,535 --> 00:03:09,493
The other witnesses
were only able to testify
66
00:03:09,537 --> 00:03:11,756
to an earlier
disagreement that my client
67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,149
had with the decedent.
68
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,237
Shouldn'’t the people be given
69
00:03:14,281 --> 00:03:16,239
the opportunity
to cross-examine?
70
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,285
The affidavit is more
than legally sufficient
71
00:03:18,328 --> 00:03:20,200
for this court
to grant our request.
72
00:03:20,243 --> 00:03:22,289
Is the matter submitted?
Yes, Your Honor.
73
00:03:22,332 --> 00:03:24,465
I ask that the Court
expedite its ruling.
74
00:03:24,508 --> 00:03:26,684
Mr. Owens is ill,
and the doctors can't say
75
00:03:26,728 --> 00:03:28,251
how long he has left.
76
00:03:29,165 --> 00:03:31,254
We will take
that under advisement.
77
00:03:31,733 --> 00:03:33,822
Good day, Ms. Lopez.
78
00:03:36,999 --> 00:03:38,435
We should hear back
79
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,176
from the Court
of Appeal in a few days.
80
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,004
Then I will ask
the judge who gets assigned
81
00:03:42,047 --> 00:03:43,353
the hearing to expedite it.
82
00:03:43,397 --> 00:03:45,573
And I was
assured that Damien Owens
83
00:03:45,616 --> 00:03:47,009
is standing by to testify.
84
00:03:47,705 --> 00:03:50,273
I appreciate everything
you're doing, Ms. Lopez.
85
00:03:50,317 --> 00:03:52,232
Well, gratitude goes to Talisha,
86
00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:53,798
her letter
is the reason I'm here.
87
00:03:54,321 --> 00:03:56,453
Well, T'’s my biggest advocate.
88
00:03:57,367 --> 00:03:59,282
I'm just glad somebody
finally read my letter.
89
00:03:59,326 --> 00:04:01,371
I've been hounding
the Free Counsel Initiative
90
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:04,461
for years for them
to take my dad's case.
91
00:04:04,505 --> 00:04:07,595
This was clearly
a miscarriage of justice.
92
00:04:08,073 --> 00:04:09,684
All of the other
evidence the prosecution
93
00:04:09,727 --> 00:04:12,513
presented was circumstantial
and inconclusive.
94
00:04:12,556 --> 00:04:14,863
And even Joe Loffton,
who was an accessory
95
00:04:14,906 --> 00:04:16,908
after the fact, he never
said that you were the killer.
96
00:04:16,952 --> 00:04:20,825
Never. This came down
to Damien Owens' testimony.
97
00:04:20,869 --> 00:04:22,523
And you--
98
00:04:22,566 --> 00:04:24,307
And you not having an alibi.
99
00:04:47,504 --> 00:04:49,158
Lola?
100
00:04:50,942 --> 00:04:53,554
Dre. I thought--
101
00:04:54,119 --> 00:04:57,427
What? I thought you went
back to D.C. with Rachel.
102
00:04:57,471 --> 00:04:59,647
I had some business
and a deal to close.
103
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:01,910
Hey, perhaps
we can grab some dinner
104
00:05:01,953 --> 00:05:03,520
while I'm in town,
catch up.
105
00:05:04,913 --> 00:05:06,088
Catch up?
106
00:05:07,437 --> 00:05:08,960
I feel there were things
left unsaid between us.
107
00:05:09,570 --> 00:05:12,442
You know, I'’m here
on business for another week.
108
00:05:12,486 --> 00:05:14,923
I can call you.
You still have the same number?
109
00:05:18,492 --> 00:05:20,145
Or maybe you can call me.
110
00:05:34,072 --> 00:05:35,378
Um. Damn.
111
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:38,468
So that is
Mr. Mighty Andre Armstrong,
112
00:05:38,512 --> 00:05:40,644
Esquire extraordinaire.
113
00:05:40,688 --> 00:05:42,385
How did you know?
114
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:45,214
You're sweating, Lo.
You okay?
115
00:05:45,257 --> 00:05:48,391
I don't know.
I-- don't know.
116
00:05:48,435 --> 00:05:50,654
Why am
I letting this man get to me?
117
00:05:50,698 --> 00:05:53,701
You didn't get closure.
You need closure.
118
00:05:53,744 --> 00:05:56,225
Look at you.
Soundin'’ like Dr. Phil.
119
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:59,576
Mm, I'’m serious.
Look, Mark, it's fine.
120
00:05:59,620 --> 00:06:02,013
Andre is only here for a week,
and then he's gone.
121
00:06:02,057 --> 00:06:03,406
And that'll be that.
122
00:06:05,103 --> 00:06:06,583
What?
123
00:06:06,627 --> 00:06:09,586
I thought you knew
that he might be merging
124
00:06:09,630 --> 00:06:11,588
with Audubon and Quinn.
And if he does,
125
00:06:12,154 --> 00:06:13,808
he's going to be out here a lot.
126
00:06:13,851 --> 00:06:16,463
- Doesn't mean I have to see him.
- He's dating Rachel.
127
00:06:16,506 --> 00:06:18,247
I don'’t know about that.
128
00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:20,075
Did you tell her to back off?
129
00:06:20,118 --> 00:06:22,382
No. Maybe.
Marky-Mark.
130
00:06:22,425 --> 00:06:25,559
Listen, I appreciate your
concern but I will be fine--
131
00:06:25,602 --> 00:06:27,212
Sure--
I have a great life--
132
00:06:27,256 --> 00:06:29,432
- A beautiful baby girl--
- Yeah-- Definitely--
133
00:06:29,476 --> 00:06:32,217
A husband who
is supportive and loving,
134
00:06:32,261 --> 00:06:34,437
handsome and sexy.
135
00:06:34,481 --> 00:06:36,265
You tryin'’
to convince me or you?
136
00:06:36,787 --> 00:06:38,398
What you got goin'’ on?
137
00:06:38,441 --> 00:06:39,573
Ah, so now
we're changing subjects?
138
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:41,575
- Yup, keep up.
- Okay. All right.
139
00:06:41,618 --> 00:06:43,968
Uh, LAPD task
force is heating up.
140
00:06:44,012 --> 00:06:46,449
- The smash and grab thing?
- I just talked to the detective.
141
00:06:46,493 --> 00:06:48,146
They made more
arrests last night.
142
00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:49,452
More kids?
143
00:06:49,496 --> 00:06:51,236
What the hell is goin'’ on?
144
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,542
I intend to find out.
145
00:06:54,631 --> 00:06:56,459
I think
I found the perfect apartment!
146
00:06:56,503 --> 00:06:58,461
- Yes?
- Yes! It's in Santa Monica,
147
00:06:58,505 --> 00:06:59,941
it'’s a few blocks
from the beach.
148
00:06:59,984 --> 00:07:01,203
And the best part?
149
00:07:01,246 --> 00:07:02,944
No screaming nephews.
150
00:07:04,598 --> 00:07:05,729
Congratulations.
151
00:07:05,773 --> 00:07:07,427
Thank you.
152
00:07:09,733 --> 00:07:11,256
Thanks.
153
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,302
Something'’s on your mind.
154
00:07:13,345 --> 00:07:15,609
Ohhh, no. Come on. Spill it.
155
00:07:15,652 --> 00:07:18,786
I'm worried
that going up against Mark
156
00:07:18,829 --> 00:07:20,570
has affected our friendship.
157
00:07:20,614 --> 00:07:22,529
Mm. Have you talked
to Mark since the trial?
158
00:07:23,747 --> 00:07:27,882
We made a pact; no matter
what, we jog every week.
159
00:07:27,925 --> 00:07:31,102
I'm sure he'll call.
Don'’t worry about it.
160
00:07:35,411 --> 00:07:37,457
- Ladies.
- Good morning.
161
00:07:37,500 --> 00:07:39,676
Amy, I've a huge favor to ask.
I've a client
162
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,809
that needs help with a will.
Now, I'’d normally do it myself,
163
00:07:41,852 --> 00:07:44,333
but it needs
someone based here in L.A.
164
00:07:44,376 --> 00:07:45,769
Of course, I'd be happy to help.
165
00:07:45,813 --> 00:07:47,815
Great. Pick it up.
166
00:07:48,598 --> 00:07:52,036
Ada Bankok, meet
Amy Quinn and Vanessa Johnson.
167
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,169
- Hi, it's nice to meet you.
- Pleasure to meet you.
168
00:07:54,212 --> 00:07:55,562
Ada'’s grandmother used to be
169
00:07:55,605 --> 00:07:58,173
one of my biggest clients,
and a dear friend.
170
00:07:58,216 --> 00:07:59,870
It was hard leaving grandmother.
171
00:08:00,784 --> 00:08:02,612
But I went back
every year for her birthday.
172
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,485
This last one, uh...
173
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:09,227
She seemed so good.
174
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:11,665
I'm so sorry for your loss.
175
00:08:12,927 --> 00:08:14,711
I'll walk you out.
176
00:08:14,755 --> 00:08:17,453
This is no contest so
there shouldn't be any issues.
177
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:19,281
You got it.
178
00:08:20,282 --> 00:08:21,544
Thank you.
179
00:08:21,588 --> 00:08:23,720
Seriously? We're slammed,
180
00:08:23,764 --> 00:08:25,374
and you're going
to take a will reading?
181
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:27,550
No, you are.
182
00:08:27,811 --> 00:08:30,161
You said
you wanted more responsibility.
183
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:31,772
Well, here's your chance.
184
00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:34,992
One chance is all I need.
185
00:08:35,036 --> 00:08:36,559
Okay.
186
00:08:37,038 --> 00:08:38,735
Lisa has the new job.
187
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,215
Oh...
188
00:08:40,694 --> 00:08:42,565
- No.
- No, no, no.
189
00:08:42,609 --> 00:08:44,393
It's fine. It's fine.
It's just that--
190
00:08:44,828 --> 00:08:46,003
I miss all of you.
191
00:08:46,047 --> 00:08:47,570
We miss you, too.
192
00:08:47,614 --> 00:08:49,529
Mm, that'’s nice to hear.
193
00:08:50,486 --> 00:08:53,620
Well, not the reason I came by.
194
00:08:53,663 --> 00:08:55,230
I just want to give a heads up.
195
00:08:55,273 --> 00:08:57,754
We may be sending
you a life-changing case.
196
00:08:57,798 --> 00:08:59,364
- I'm listening.
- Randall Mack.
197
00:08:59,408 --> 00:09:00,583
Life in prison.
198
00:09:00,627 --> 00:09:02,106
He claims he was falsely accused
199
00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:05,457
and wrongly convicted
of murder 20 years ago.
200
00:09:05,762 --> 00:09:07,764
We just granted an order
201
00:09:07,808 --> 00:09:09,940
to show cause
on a habeas petition.
202
00:09:09,984 --> 00:09:11,725
And what was the reason?
203
00:09:13,857 --> 00:09:16,904
Uh, well, the only
eyewitness, Damien Owens,
204
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:18,688
has recanted his testimony,
205
00:09:18,732 --> 00:09:20,864
now saying
that he committed the murder.
206
00:09:20,908 --> 00:09:23,345
Wasn't that enough
to correct the writ?
207
00:09:23,388 --> 00:09:24,651
His credibility is at issue.
208
00:09:24,694 --> 00:09:26,566
He'’s saying
that he lied under oath
209
00:09:26,609 --> 00:09:29,046
during the trial
against his best friend.
210
00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:32,963
As I recall, Mr. Owens
had difficulty testifying.
211
00:09:33,007 --> 00:09:34,443
And how would you know?
212
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:36,793
I was just about
to tell you that
213
00:09:37,881 --> 00:09:40,275
Thomas was the presiding judge.
214
00:09:48,762 --> 00:09:49,632
Okay.
215
00:09:50,894 --> 00:09:52,722
Wow, your--
your dad painted all of these?
216
00:09:52,766 --> 00:09:54,942
Well,
he'’s had a lot of time.
217
00:09:54,985 --> 00:09:56,813
Yeah.
218
00:09:56,857 --> 00:09:58,598
Now, that'’s
my dad with Damien and Joe.
219
00:09:58,641 --> 00:10:00,382
They met in first grade
220
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:01,862
and were friends
all through high school.
221
00:10:01,905 --> 00:10:03,646
Do you know what happened?
222
00:10:03,690 --> 00:10:05,822
Damien was in love with my mom.
223
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:08,999
And when she married dad,
he took it really hard.
224
00:10:09,043 --> 00:10:11,088
Saw it as this huge betrayal.
225
00:10:11,698 --> 00:10:16,224
Joe tried to mend things,
but it was never the same.
226
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:17,834
Mm.
227
00:10:17,878 --> 00:10:19,836
Jealousy'’s a powerful motivator.
228
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:20,924
Mm.
229
00:10:20,968 --> 00:10:22,752
Okay, but I do
have some good news.
230
00:10:22,796 --> 00:10:24,885
Judge Carmichael
has agreed to expedite
231
00:10:24,928 --> 00:10:26,756
the evidentiary hearing.
232
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,890
And this time tomorrow,
your dad could be a free man.
233
00:10:31,587 --> 00:10:33,633
That's amazing.
234
00:10:33,676 --> 00:10:34,764
Thank you. Thank you.
235
00:10:34,808 --> 00:10:37,680
Sorry. One second.
236
00:10:37,724 --> 00:10:39,551
Oh, no problem.
Hello?
237
00:10:39,595 --> 00:10:41,379
Yes, this is Emily Lopez.
238
00:10:44,513 --> 00:10:45,775
What?
239
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,739
No. Thank you.
240
00:10:57,569 --> 00:10:58,919
What's happened?
241
00:10:58,962 --> 00:11:01,530
Damien Owens
developed an infection.
242
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:04,664
He died an hour ago.
243
00:11:16,458 --> 00:11:17,938
The order from
the Court of Appeal
244
00:11:17,981 --> 00:11:19,287
was to take
Mr. Owen's testimony.
245
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:20,810
We obviously cannot do that now.
246
00:11:20,854 --> 00:11:23,117
So there's no reason for
this hearing to move forward.
247
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,858
I still
have Mr. Owens'’ affidavit,
248
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:26,773
which was made
under penalty of perjury.
249
00:11:26,816 --> 00:11:29,036
Your Honor,
the affidavit is hearsay
250
00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:30,951
and the rules of evidence apply.
251
00:11:30,994 --> 00:11:33,910
There's no hearsay exception,
and so it is inadmissible.
252
00:11:33,954 --> 00:11:36,304
Your Honor,
Mr. Owens affidavit qualifies
253
00:11:36,347 --> 00:11:38,567
as a dying declaration.
254
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:40,134
And if the court
finds that it does not meet
255
00:11:40,177 --> 00:11:42,223
the hearsay exception,
then the affidavit
256
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:45,661
should be admitted into evidence
under the Chambers'’ case.
257
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:47,315
Without Mr. Owens
statement being subject
258
00:11:47,358 --> 00:11:50,231
to cross-examination,
there is no way to determine
259
00:11:50,274 --> 00:11:51,580
if the statement is reliable.
260
00:11:51,623 --> 00:11:53,103
Ms. Palmer has a good point.
261
00:11:53,669 --> 00:11:55,497
Ms. Lopez, permission
to speak to your client?
262
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:57,194
Of course, Your Honor.
263
00:11:57,238 --> 00:11:58,587
Mr. Mack,
264
00:11:59,588 --> 00:12:00,937
I want you to be aware
265
00:12:00,981 --> 00:12:02,809
that this
is an informal questioning
266
00:12:02,852 --> 00:12:05,507
- and you're not under oath.
- I understand, Your Honor.
267
00:12:05,550 --> 00:12:08,162
Mr. Mack, were you
or anyone in your family
268
00:12:08,205 --> 00:12:11,034
in contact with
Mr. Owens prior to his death?
269
00:12:11,078 --> 00:12:13,907
Yes, my daughter, Talisha.
270
00:12:13,950 --> 00:12:15,212
Thank you.
271
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:18,781
Ms. Mack,
you are not under oath.
272
00:12:19,042 --> 00:12:20,609
Would you please tell
the court about
273
00:12:20,652 --> 00:12:22,132
your contact
with Mr. Owens?
274
00:12:22,176 --> 00:12:24,787
I heard Damien was sick.
I went to see him.
275
00:12:25,266 --> 00:12:28,312
Told me stories about
my dad and their friendship.
276
00:12:28,356 --> 00:12:31,098
I simply asked him
to tell what really happened.
277
00:12:31,359 --> 00:12:32,882
And did he tell you?
278
00:12:32,926 --> 00:12:35,885
No. It was only later
I learned about his affidavit.
279
00:12:35,929 --> 00:12:38,932
Your Honor, the Court
of Appeals had the affidavit
280
00:12:38,975 --> 00:12:41,499
and nevertheless
ordered an evidentiary hearing.
281
00:12:41,543 --> 00:12:43,980
They could have granted
a writ based on the affidavit
282
00:12:44,024 --> 00:12:46,069
if that alone was sufficient.
Your Honor.
283
00:12:46,548 --> 00:12:49,246
I know that I can
find additional evidence
284
00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:51,858
to prove Mr. Owens
testified falsely at trial.
285
00:12:51,901 --> 00:12:55,644
I just-- I just need some time.
286
00:13:02,869 --> 00:13:04,871
Ms. Lopez, I need a proposal
287
00:13:04,914 --> 00:13:07,830
from you for how
much time you need, and why.
288
00:13:07,874 --> 00:13:10,702
Ms. Palmer, find
authority for why this court
289
00:13:10,746 --> 00:13:12,226
cannot expand the order.
290
00:13:13,009 --> 00:13:14,968
All parties
are ordered back tomorrow.
291
00:13:19,102 --> 00:13:22,497
Randall, I know that Damien
was mad about the marriage,
292
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:25,892
but was there anything else?
293
00:13:27,458 --> 00:13:28,851
Uh, no.
294
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:30,853
Look, we were growing apart
295
00:13:30,897 --> 00:13:32,942
long before I married Etta.
296
00:13:32,986 --> 00:13:35,075
'Cause Damien had gotten
into some bad shit.
297
00:13:35,118 --> 00:13:36,728
I didn'’t want
nothin'’ to do with it.
298
00:13:36,772 --> 00:13:37,904
That's why
I only hung out with him
299
00:13:37,947 --> 00:13:39,862
- and Joe at the bar.
- Define bad.
300
00:13:39,906 --> 00:13:41,516
Damien was hanging
out with some sketchy dudes
301
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,693
and that KC Smith,
that victim, he was one of '‘em.
302
00:13:45,912 --> 00:13:49,829
Randall, if you knew
that Damien was into bad stuff,
303
00:13:49,872 --> 00:13:52,048
then why keep
going back to the bar?
304
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,015
He was my friend.
305
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,756
For a long time.
306
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,455
It's hard to let that go.
307
00:14:10,284 --> 00:14:11,938
I went over the case file.
308
00:14:13,156 --> 00:14:15,985
I'm curious about
a woman named Julia Barnes.
309
00:14:16,290 --> 00:14:18,901
She was on the witness list,
but she never testified.
310
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:20,816
Oh, um...
311
00:14:22,296 --> 00:14:23,906
She was a coworker.
312
00:14:24,733 --> 00:14:26,039
And my lawyer was trying to get
313
00:14:26,082 --> 00:14:27,649
anybody he could to testify
314
00:14:27,692 --> 00:14:29,477
- as a character witness.
- Then why didn't she
315
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:30,652
testify to your character?
316
00:14:30,695 --> 00:14:32,697
Mm, I dunno.
317
00:14:37,398 --> 00:14:38,878
Okay.
318
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,882
Is there uh, is there
anything I can get you?
319
00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:44,535
Some painting supplies.
320
00:14:45,101 --> 00:14:46,581
Yeah.
321
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:49,105
Going a little crazy
in here with nothing to do.
322
00:14:49,149 --> 00:14:52,195
Oh, yeah. Talisha
showed me your paintings.
323
00:14:52,239 --> 00:14:53,849
They are beautiful.
324
00:14:53,893 --> 00:14:55,546
My favorite
memories were at the beach.
325
00:14:56,025 --> 00:14:58,027
- Did you go a lot?
- Never been.
326
00:14:58,071 --> 00:14:59,768
Got all those photos
327
00:14:59,811 --> 00:15:01,988
I found in the magazines,
in the library.
328
00:15:02,031 --> 00:15:04,077
I always wanted to take
Talisha to see the ocean.
329
00:15:05,295 --> 00:15:06,775
Never got the chance.
330
00:15:14,522 --> 00:15:16,089
Maggie Palmer has a point.
331
00:15:16,132 --> 00:15:18,352
If the affidavit
alone was enough, we would
332
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:20,920
have granted the petition
and saved you the trouble.
333
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:23,923
So now that Mr. Owens has died,
do I...
334
00:15:24,445 --> 00:15:28,101
allow Ms. Lopez to introduce
any new evidence she can find?
335
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:32,061
I know how wrongful convictions
keep you up at night.
336
00:15:32,105 --> 00:15:34,759
So that's code for
"trust your gut."
337
00:15:36,196 --> 00:15:37,240
Thank you, Lisa.
338
00:15:38,198 --> 00:15:39,764
Any time, Carmichael.
339
00:15:41,549 --> 00:15:43,072
I'’ll see you on the flip side.
340
00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:48,904
Hello!
341
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:51,646
More beautiful
flowers from your garden?
342
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:54,040
No! These were
delivered for you.
343
00:15:55,258 --> 00:15:56,172
What?
344
00:15:56,216 --> 00:15:57,652
I'm worried they're from Dre.
345
00:15:58,131 --> 00:16:00,176
Well, there's only
one way to find out.
346
00:16:01,743 --> 00:16:03,136
They are not from him.
347
00:16:03,179 --> 00:16:05,573
- Uh, "Diapers to Diplomas?"
- Ha!
348
00:16:06,182 --> 00:16:08,010
"Excited to introduce you to--
349
00:16:08,054 --> 00:16:10,056
our wonderful world of nannies!"
350
00:16:10,099 --> 00:16:12,101
Oh! So Robin's
going back to work.
351
00:16:12,145 --> 00:16:14,016
Part time.
But if I know the man,
352
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:15,148
he'll be full time by next week.
353
00:16:15,191 --> 00:16:18,673
Oh.
Sounds like somebody I know.
354
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:57,973
God.
355
00:17:02,108 --> 00:17:04,980
"To my loving son, Edwin.
356
00:17:05,024 --> 00:17:10,507
I leave the Cape Cod and
Bel Air homes and all furniture.
357
00:17:10,551 --> 00:17:17,166
Now, the Van Gogh, I leave
along with our family ring,
358
00:17:17,514 --> 00:17:22,171
to my granddaughter, Mindy."
359
00:17:24,086 --> 00:17:25,609
Grandmother
promised me that ring.
360
00:17:26,175 --> 00:17:29,439
"All my clothes
along with my Mercedes,
361
00:17:29,874 --> 00:17:31,093
- "box of..."
- Are you sure?
362
00:17:31,137 --> 00:17:32,790
Yes. It means the world to me.
363
00:17:32,834 --> 00:17:34,096
please do something.
364
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:37,143
- "My Baby Grand..."
- Please!
365
00:17:38,144 --> 00:17:40,276
Please!
366
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,234
We object!
367
00:17:46,152 --> 00:17:48,241
Now, these smash
and grabs are well thought out.
368
00:17:48,589 --> 00:17:51,331
They aren't random, many of
them contain the same kids.
369
00:17:51,374 --> 00:17:52,984
What, you think one
of these kids is capable
370
00:17:53,028 --> 00:17:55,074
- of organizing all these hits?
- Possibly.
371
00:17:55,117 --> 00:17:56,814
The ones
I'’ve spoken with are smart,
372
00:17:56,858 --> 00:17:59,252
just not cooperating.
They're scared of somethin'’.
373
00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:00,427
Or someone.
374
00:18:01,863 --> 00:18:03,604
I've done everything
I can to get these kids to talk.
375
00:18:03,647 --> 00:18:04,779
Nothing.
376
00:18:06,172 --> 00:18:08,435
This kid, he's in juvie
fighting a murder charge.
377
00:18:09,262 --> 00:18:11,090
I know his lawyer,
Luke Watkins. I'll talk to him.
378
00:18:13,483 --> 00:18:16,225
- I knew you're up to something.
- Oh, take a breath.
379
00:18:16,269 --> 00:18:18,575
No, you hated my father and now
you're letting it out on me.
380
00:18:18,619 --> 00:18:20,490
Just accept your grandmother
loved Mindy more than you.
381
00:18:20,534 --> 00:18:24,059
- Grandmother promised me--
- Excuse me, what is going on?
382
00:18:24,494 --> 00:18:26,148
Excuse me, what is going on?
383
00:18:26,192 --> 00:18:28,237
- She had a change of heart--
- What is going on!
384
00:18:29,325 --> 00:18:32,415
The no contest
was made quite clear.
385
00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:33,982
Yes, I am aware.
386
00:18:34,025 --> 00:18:35,549
Apparently
your associate wasn't.
387
00:18:35,592 --> 00:18:37,681
Ms. Johnson advised
your client to contest the will.
388
00:18:37,725 --> 00:18:39,944
Not only does she forfeit
her entire inheritance,
389
00:18:39,988 --> 00:18:41,207
she must pay
back her advancement
390
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:43,209
her grandmother
gave her for college.
391
00:18:49,998 --> 00:18:52,827
Oh, my God, that's $400,000.
392
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:55,960
I don't have that kind of money.
393
00:18:56,004 --> 00:18:59,138
I will make this right, Ada.
I promise.
394
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,187
Andre told us
it was a no contest.
395
00:19:05,231 --> 00:19:07,320
I know.
But Ada was in my ear.
396
00:19:07,363 --> 00:19:09,626
I didn't think. I just reacted.
397
00:19:09,670 --> 00:19:12,020
Can she really lose everything?
398
00:19:12,063 --> 00:19:14,153
Yes, it's a clause
specifically designed
399
00:19:14,196 --> 00:19:16,677
to discourage disgruntled
relatives from complaining.
400
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,287
I'm sorry.
401
00:19:19,854 --> 00:19:21,377
- What do we do now?
- Ugh.
402
00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:24,902
We need to find
the proof for what we contested.
403
00:19:37,611 --> 00:19:39,308
Heard about Damien Owens.
404
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,224
Your job just got a lot easier.
405
00:19:42,268 --> 00:19:44,618
No, now I have
to decide whether to allow
406
00:19:44,661 --> 00:19:47,360
the defense time to track
down additional evidence.
407
00:19:47,403 --> 00:19:50,363
Well, you had one affidavit
from a man who's now dead.
408
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:52,365
It seems as if you feel
that Damien Owens was telling
409
00:19:52,408 --> 00:19:54,976
the truth without
hearing a shred of evidence.
410
00:19:55,019 --> 00:19:57,108
A man's freedom is at stake.
411
00:19:57,152 --> 00:19:59,459
I think it's worth
exploring all angles.
412
00:19:59,502 --> 00:20:02,026
Did you not read the uh,
transcript from the first trial?
413
00:20:02,070 --> 00:20:03,245
I did.
414
00:20:03,289 --> 00:20:04,942
Then you know
there's other evidence
415
00:20:04,986 --> 00:20:07,075
- besides Owen's testimony.
- I do.
416
00:20:07,118 --> 00:20:08,903
Then I fail to see the need
417
00:20:08,946 --> 00:20:11,384
for your exploring all angles.
418
00:20:23,526 --> 00:20:25,224
Ms. Rodriguez,
thank you so much for coming
419
00:20:25,267 --> 00:20:27,356
to the HOJ to meet me,
I just need to clarify
420
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,489
a few things
about your testimony.
421
00:20:29,532 --> 00:20:31,012
You were the bartender.
422
00:20:31,055 --> 00:20:32,361
And it was you
who broke up a fight
423
00:20:32,405 --> 00:20:34,494
- between Randall and the victim?
- Yeah.
424
00:20:34,537 --> 00:20:36,539
Any idea what started the fight?
425
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:38,280
That was so long ago.
426
00:20:38,324 --> 00:20:41,109
Yeah. You said later
that same night,
427
00:20:41,152 --> 00:20:43,067
you saw Randall
with the victim again?
428
00:20:43,111 --> 00:20:45,461
Uh, in the parking lot, arguing.
429
00:20:45,505 --> 00:20:47,333
Was Damien there that night?
430
00:20:47,376 --> 00:20:49,335
Yeah, he was there most nights.
431
00:20:49,378 --> 00:20:52,338
Is it possible the man
you saw in the parking lot
432
00:20:52,381 --> 00:20:54,253
was actually Damien Owens?
433
00:20:54,296 --> 00:20:57,168
No, no, it was
definitely Randall.
434
00:20:57,212 --> 00:20:59,083
Well, it was dark, right?
435
00:20:59,127 --> 00:21:00,998
- Yeah.
- So how can you be sure?
436
00:21:01,042 --> 00:21:02,696
I don't understand.
What's going on?
437
00:21:03,349 --> 00:21:05,220
Damien Owens
confessed to the murder,
438
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,092
but he died before
he could be cross-examined.
439
00:21:08,397 --> 00:21:10,051
Oh, my God.
440
00:21:10,094 --> 00:21:11,487
Mm-hm.
441
00:21:11,531 --> 00:21:13,533
But are
you saying I was the one--
442
00:21:13,576 --> 00:21:15,491
No, I'm not--
No one's blaming you.
443
00:21:15,535 --> 00:21:17,406
I'm just looking
for any new evidence.
444
00:21:19,103 --> 00:21:23,325
Um, Randall was
hanging with this woman
445
00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:24,544
that wasn't his wife.
446
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:27,155
Uh, she was there most nights.
447
00:21:27,503 --> 00:21:28,678
Jill-- Julie?
448
00:21:29,113 --> 00:21:30,506
Did you talk to her?
449
00:21:33,204 --> 00:21:35,511
Was Julia Barnes
at the bar that night?
450
00:21:35,555 --> 00:21:38,035
- Doesn't matter now.
- Yes, it does.
451
00:21:38,079 --> 00:21:39,907
It actually matters a lot.
452
00:21:40,386 --> 00:21:41,691
Who is she?
453
00:21:42,170 --> 00:21:43,476
She's someone that I loved.
454
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,130
Someone I thought loved me.
455
00:21:46,740 --> 00:21:48,089
So you were having an affair?
456
00:21:48,132 --> 00:21:49,569
I wasn't proud of it.
457
00:21:49,612 --> 00:21:51,397
My wife and I
were having problems.
458
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,399
And I knew I was wrong, just...
459
00:21:54,487 --> 00:21:56,402
Oh, Julia.
460
00:21:58,142 --> 00:21:59,361
I had to.
461
00:21:59,405 --> 00:22:00,841
Then why didn't she testify?
462
00:22:00,884 --> 00:22:03,452
Been asking myself
that same question for 20 years.
463
00:22:03,496 --> 00:22:06,237
She talked to my lawyer.
She told him everything.
464
00:22:06,281 --> 00:22:08,327
Then she changed her mind,
said that if he tried
465
00:22:08,370 --> 00:22:09,415
to make her talk, she'd lie.
466
00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:11,460
Almost killed me,
when I found out.
467
00:22:12,113 --> 00:22:14,333
We talked about
a future together.
468
00:22:16,944 --> 00:22:18,641
Then she left me to rot in hell.
469
00:22:19,468 --> 00:22:21,470
Well, I need to convince
Julia to come forward.
470
00:22:21,514 --> 00:22:23,429
- Oh, no, no--
- Randall,
471
00:22:23,472 --> 00:22:25,909
if Judge Carmichael
denies Damien's affidavit--
472
00:22:25,953 --> 00:22:28,303
Talisha doesn't know.
She'’d never forgive me.
473
00:22:29,565 --> 00:22:31,306
There's gotta
be another way, Ms. Lopez.
474
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:36,572
Please. Please.
T is all I've got.
475
00:22:38,008 --> 00:22:39,575
What about Joe?
476
00:22:40,402 --> 00:22:41,577
He was
with Damien that night.
477
00:22:41,621 --> 00:22:42,839
He knows what the truth is.
478
00:22:42,883 --> 00:22:45,189
We are looking for Joe.
479
00:22:45,233 --> 00:22:47,366
He left L.A. when
he got out of prison, so.
480
00:22:49,498 --> 00:22:51,370
So if we can't find him,
481
00:22:52,806 --> 00:22:54,851
then Julia may be our only hope.
482
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:04,078
Hello, wife.
483
00:23:04,121 --> 00:23:06,559
- Where are you, husband?
- On a stakeout.
484
00:23:06,602 --> 00:23:08,778
I thought
you were doing computer work.
485
00:23:08,822 --> 00:23:10,214
Wait, where is Bailey?
486
00:23:10,258 --> 00:23:11,868
Robin Taylor.
487
00:23:11,912 --> 00:23:14,567
I know you did not take
our daughter on a stakeout.
488
00:23:14,610 --> 00:23:16,438
I didn't
have a choice, honey.
489
00:23:16,482 --> 00:23:17,744
The babysitter canceled.
490
00:23:17,787 --> 00:23:19,528
You should have called me.
491
00:23:19,572 --> 00:23:21,312
She'’s fine, Lo.
Ain'’t you, baby?
492
00:23:21,356 --> 00:23:22,879
I still don't like it.
493
00:23:22,923 --> 00:23:26,666
Ah, I guess it's time
to put Operation Nanny Search
494
00:23:26,709 --> 00:23:28,668
into warp speed.
495
00:23:35,326 --> 00:23:37,285
- Hey.
- Hey.
496
00:23:37,328 --> 00:23:39,026
Thanks for coming by.
497
00:23:40,723 --> 00:23:41,811
- Listen--
- Before we start,
498
00:23:41,855 --> 00:23:42,943
I just want to say--
499
00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:45,989
Really rough, right?
500
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:47,469
So rough.
501
00:23:47,513 --> 00:23:48,731
Don't ever want to do it again.
502
00:23:48,775 --> 00:23:50,472
This, Watkins,
is why you never should
503
00:23:50,516 --> 00:23:52,256
have left the DA's office.
504
00:23:53,649 --> 00:23:55,608
If you and Amy can
maintain a relationship
505
00:23:55,651 --> 00:23:57,479
after some of the epic
battles that you've had,
506
00:23:57,523 --> 00:23:58,785
I'm sure that we can mend.
507
00:23:58,828 --> 00:24:00,221
Vegas rules, baby.
508
00:24:00,264 --> 00:24:02,005
What happens
in the court room...
509
00:24:02,049 --> 00:24:03,180
Deal.
510
00:24:03,224 --> 00:24:04,617
We good?
511
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:09,012
Oh, hey, before you go.
512
00:24:09,056 --> 00:24:11,493
I actually did call
you over here for a reason.
513
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,713
Anyone look familiar?
514
00:24:14,191 --> 00:24:15,497
Miles Pallo, my client.
515
00:24:15,541 --> 00:24:16,933
He was certified down to juvie
516
00:24:16,977 --> 00:24:18,674
on the robbery case
where the victim died.
517
00:24:18,718 --> 00:24:21,068
Before that robbery,
he was involved in several other
518
00:24:21,111 --> 00:24:23,592
burglaries all attached
to the smash and grab ring.
519
00:24:23,636 --> 00:24:25,376
- Okay, and?
- Maggie is gonna file
520
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:26,552
additional charges.
521
00:24:26,595 --> 00:24:28,075
She's also pushing to have him
522
00:24:28,118 --> 00:24:29,511
transferred to adult court.
523
00:24:29,555 --> 00:24:32,819
So just talk to him,
see if he'’ll cooperate--
524
00:24:32,862 --> 00:24:34,168
What are you looking for?
525
00:24:34,211 --> 00:24:35,561
I think there's
a mastermind
526
00:24:35,604 --> 00:24:37,693
behind the smash and grabs,
I need a name--
527
00:24:37,737 --> 00:24:39,521
- You want my client to snitch?
- Well, would you rather
528
00:24:39,565 --> 00:24:40,914
he get transferred
straight to prison
529
00:24:40,957 --> 00:24:42,219
when he's out of juvie?
530
00:24:42,263 --> 00:24:43,394
'Cause that's where he's going
531
00:24:43,438 --> 00:24:45,048
if he keeps down this route.
532
00:24:48,051 --> 00:24:49,879
I'll talk to my client.
533
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,148
The Court will not
receive into evidence
534
00:24:58,192 --> 00:25:00,150
Damien Owens' affidavit.
535
00:25:00,586 --> 00:25:02,849
On balance, the court
does not believe Mr. Owens
536
00:25:02,892 --> 00:25:05,373
was on the verge of death
at the time of the statement,
537
00:25:05,416 --> 00:25:08,289
and thus it is
not a dying declaration
538
00:25:08,332 --> 00:25:10,509
as contemplated
in the evidence code.
539
00:25:11,597 --> 00:25:14,208
However, based
on that affidavit,
540
00:25:14,643 --> 00:25:16,776
I will provide
the defense with more time
541
00:25:16,819 --> 00:25:19,735
to find evidence
that supports his main point,
542
00:25:19,779 --> 00:25:22,085
that Mr. Mack did
not commit the crime.
543
00:25:23,304 --> 00:25:26,176
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- We'’ll reconvene in two days.
544
00:25:26,612 --> 00:25:28,570
Parties are ordered to appear.
545
00:25:36,970 --> 00:25:39,276
Hello?
- Daddy?
546
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,582
Sherri said
it was okay to come in.
547
00:25:40,626 --> 00:25:44,760
Of course it's okay to come in.
548
00:25:45,239 --> 00:25:48,155
Hello, my sweet baby girl.
549
00:25:48,851 --> 00:25:50,636
We were
on our way to the museum.
550
00:25:50,679 --> 00:25:53,377
Thought, why not
pop in and see you first?
551
00:25:53,421 --> 00:25:54,814
Thank you, daddy.
552
00:25:58,469 --> 00:25:59,688
Tough case?
553
00:26:00,384 --> 00:26:01,647
Yes.
554
00:26:02,952 --> 00:26:04,432
And...
555
00:26:04,998 --> 00:26:07,261
Andre Armstrong is in town.
556
00:26:07,304 --> 00:26:09,045
Do you even remember him?
557
00:26:09,829 --> 00:26:12,179
I remember he was a damn fool.
558
00:26:12,788 --> 00:26:14,877
I think you're thinkin'’
of somebody else.
559
00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:18,664
Wasn't that the guy who chose
his career over you?
560
00:26:18,707 --> 00:26:22,058
How do you even remember
that after all this time?
561
00:26:22,102 --> 00:26:23,582
He broke your heart.
562
00:26:24,495 --> 00:26:26,585
A father never
forgets something like that.
563
00:26:29,500 --> 00:26:32,895
So, why is it
a problem he's here?
564
00:26:33,635 --> 00:26:35,811
He wants to catch up.
565
00:26:36,333 --> 00:26:37,639
Lo.
566
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,642
Put the past where it belongs.
567
00:26:46,605 --> 00:26:48,258
I never
thought they'd convict him.
568
00:26:48,302 --> 00:26:49,825
But they did.
569
00:26:49,869 --> 00:26:52,480
And you sat on
the truth for 20 years.
570
00:26:52,523 --> 00:26:53,786
I couldn't ruin my life.
571
00:26:54,264 --> 00:26:56,310
And what about Randall's life?
572
00:26:57,659 --> 00:27:00,183
Julia, you've
allowed an innocent man
573
00:27:00,227 --> 00:27:02,490
to suffer
in prison for 20 years.
574
00:27:02,795 --> 00:27:06,102
This is a man you cared about.
A good man.
575
00:27:06,712 --> 00:27:08,714
With a family, a career.
576
00:27:08,757 --> 00:27:09,889
You wouldn't understand.
577
00:27:09,932 --> 00:27:12,805
No, I-- I don't.
So please, tell me.
578
00:27:14,328 --> 00:27:15,721
It's not that easy.
579
00:27:15,764 --> 00:27:18,506
I never told my
husband about the affair.
580
00:27:18,985 --> 00:27:20,595
He wouldn't understand.
581
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:22,902
I don't-- I don't care. I don't.
582
00:27:22,945 --> 00:27:24,643
Because this
isn't about your husband
583
00:27:24,686 --> 00:27:25,992
and it's not
about your marriage.
584
00:27:26,035 --> 00:27:28,864
This is about
an innocent man's life.
585
00:27:29,952 --> 00:27:33,652
So stop making
Randall pay for your guilt.
586
00:27:36,872 --> 00:27:38,352
I have to think about it.
587
00:27:39,788 --> 00:27:41,311
You--
588
00:27:55,848 --> 00:27:57,763
Did you know that the will
was amended three months ago?
589
00:27:58,633 --> 00:28:00,417
Specifically
the personal property memo?
590
00:28:00,461 --> 00:28:02,332
No.
Did you find the original?
591
00:28:02,376 --> 00:28:03,725
Yeah. I called
the court records,
592
00:28:03,769 --> 00:28:05,553
and tracked it down.
Ada was right.
593
00:28:05,858 --> 00:28:07,642
Her grandmother
promised her that ring.
594
00:28:08,991 --> 00:28:11,037
Perhaps, Ada isn't
being honest with us.
595
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,734
Families do fall out.
596
00:28:12,778 --> 00:28:14,736
And I saw her face.
She had no idea.
597
00:28:14,780 --> 00:28:16,869
No. Something happened
three months ago that made her
598
00:28:16,912 --> 00:28:18,522
grandmother change
her mind about that will,
599
00:28:19,001 --> 00:28:20,699
and I'm gonna
find out what it was.
600
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:24,050
Okay.
601
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:26,792
Ms. Lopez,
602
00:28:26,835 --> 00:28:28,881
you've requested
another continuance.
603
00:28:28,924 --> 00:28:30,665
What is the basis
for the motion?
604
00:28:30,709 --> 00:28:31,884
I am having trouble securing
605
00:28:31,927 --> 00:28:33,755
the attendance
of a critical witness.
606
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:35,235
I have sent out a subpoena,
607
00:28:35,278 --> 00:28:37,411
- but I'm worried she won't show.
- Who's the witness?
608
00:28:37,454 --> 00:28:39,152
Julia Barnes.
She was with Randall Mack
609
00:28:39,195 --> 00:28:40,762
at the time of the murder.
610
00:28:40,806 --> 00:28:42,546
Her testimony
can prove his innocence.
611
00:28:42,590 --> 00:28:44,113
Why do you think she won'’t show?
612
00:28:44,157 --> 00:28:46,159
Because she was on the original
witness list and didn't.
613
00:28:46,202 --> 00:28:49,075
Be assured Ms. Lopez, if
you serve her with a subpoena,
614
00:28:49,118 --> 00:28:50,511
I will issue a body attachment
615
00:28:50,554 --> 00:28:51,947
for her if she fails to appear.
616
00:28:51,991 --> 00:28:53,775
But we both know that
617
00:28:53,819 --> 00:28:55,908
that is not a guarantee
that she will testify.
618
00:28:56,169 --> 00:28:57,866
Are there any other witnesses?
619
00:28:57,910 --> 00:28:59,825
Joe Loffton. He was
an accessory after the fact.
620
00:29:00,477 --> 00:29:03,089
Isn't he also
a friend of Mr. Mack's?
621
00:29:03,132 --> 00:29:05,178
Was. Joe now lives in Tampa
622
00:29:05,221 --> 00:29:07,441
and apparently
he is out at sea, fishing,
623
00:29:07,484 --> 00:29:09,269
so it may take us
a while to reach him.
624
00:29:10,487 --> 00:29:13,839
Ms. Palmer, are the people ready
for the evidentiary hearing?
625
00:29:13,882 --> 00:29:15,797
We are, Your Honor.
626
00:29:17,103 --> 00:29:19,758
Ms. Lopez, I am
allowing your continuance.
627
00:29:19,801 --> 00:29:21,760
The hearing will
now begin in three days.
628
00:29:42,128 --> 00:29:43,956
Yes. Dr. Sullivan? Yes.
629
00:29:43,999 --> 00:29:47,916
This is Vanessa Johnson
from Audubon and Quinn Law Firm.
630
00:29:48,308 --> 00:29:52,616
Yeah. I need some information
on a patient that you had.
631
00:29:53,269 --> 00:29:55,881
Does Miles know he's facing
a possible prison sentence?
632
00:29:55,924 --> 00:29:58,361
He's more scared of retaliation
than he is prison.
633
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:00,842
Said we don't know
who we're dealing with.
634
00:30:00,886 --> 00:30:02,409
We could offer him protection.
635
00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:03,889
We could
relocate him if need be.
636
00:30:03,932 --> 00:30:05,716
Yeah,
just what every teen wants,
637
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,588
to have their life
completely uprooted.
638
00:30:09,372 --> 00:30:10,852
I'll let my client know.
639
00:30:11,374 --> 00:30:12,854
Thank you for helping out.
640
00:30:12,898 --> 00:30:14,290
I'm doing this
purely for my client.
641
00:30:14,334 --> 00:30:15,901
Feels good, though, doesn't it?
I gotta go.
642
00:30:15,944 --> 00:30:17,554
- Run tomorrow?
- See ya at seven.
643
00:30:17,598 --> 00:30:18,860
Hey! Here to see Maggie.
644
00:30:18,904 --> 00:30:20,166
I just finished with Mark.
645
00:30:20,209 --> 00:30:22,081
Oh, which means things are good.
646
00:30:22,385 --> 00:30:23,952
Yeah, all good.
647
00:30:24,648 --> 00:30:27,434
Good. Oh!
Look what I'’ve got.
648
00:30:27,477 --> 00:30:28,739
Oh!
- Tomorrow,
649
00:30:28,783 --> 00:30:30,437
that apartment is gonna be mine.
650
00:30:32,265 --> 00:30:33,701
Good luck.
651
00:30:33,744 --> 00:30:34,920
That's right, Watkins.
652
00:30:34,963 --> 00:30:36,922
- Pretend you don't see me.
- You rang?
653
00:30:37,748 --> 00:30:39,838
It's obvious Judge
Cuddly Do Right is going to keep
654
00:30:39,881 --> 00:30:41,927
granting you continuances
until I grow old.
655
00:30:41,970 --> 00:30:44,103
I don't have
the time or patience for a case
656
00:30:44,146 --> 00:30:46,409
the previous
defense obviously fucked up.
657
00:30:46,453 --> 00:30:48,542
Voluntary
manslaughter time served.
658
00:30:48,585 --> 00:30:50,109
Mr. Mack can walk tomorrow.
659
00:30:55,157 --> 00:30:58,073
They're on their
way up here right now, but...
660
00:30:58,682 --> 00:31:00,075
Gonna want to see this.
661
00:31:03,209 --> 00:31:04,775
Are these for real?
662
00:31:04,819 --> 00:31:06,516
Yes. I first noticed them
663
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,083
when Ada showed me a photo.
664
00:31:08,736 --> 00:31:10,172
Thank you for coming.
665
00:31:10,216 --> 00:31:12,218
There are a few issues
I'd like to clear up.
666
00:31:12,261 --> 00:31:14,655
About what?
Everything seems in order.
667
00:31:14,698 --> 00:31:16,918
Oh, bear
with me, Mr. James.
668
00:31:17,353 --> 00:31:19,747
Could I please see the ring?
669
00:31:22,010 --> 00:31:23,794
Thank you.
I'd asked Wendell to send me
670
00:31:23,838 --> 00:31:26,667
a picture of the ring
and I notice
671
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:28,930
a new spring
had been molded to the inside.
672
00:31:28,974 --> 00:31:31,106
This is often done
to resize a ring in order
673
00:31:31,150 --> 00:31:34,196
not to lose any
of its intricate details.
674
00:31:34,936 --> 00:31:37,069
Would you please try this on?
675
00:31:39,810 --> 00:31:41,116
Oh. Too small.
676
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,118
Mother fitted
that ring a year ago.
677
00:31:43,162 --> 00:31:45,947
Mindy has
picked up weight since.
678
00:31:45,991 --> 00:31:51,910
Well, actually I grabbed these
from Mindy's Twitter page and--
679
00:31:53,041 --> 00:31:54,825
it appears
over the last three years,
680
00:31:54,869 --> 00:31:56,523
Mindy'’s changed very little.
681
00:31:58,046 --> 00:32:00,527
Would you please try this on?
682
00:32:03,443 --> 00:32:06,837
Mother simply had
a change of heart. Nothing more.
683
00:32:07,316 --> 00:32:09,840
Perhaps you'd like
to see some other photos
684
00:32:09,884 --> 00:32:11,930
my associate found.
685
00:32:13,192 --> 00:32:17,022
These were taken three months
before Grandmother died,
686
00:32:17,065 --> 00:32:19,676
which happens to coincide
with the changes
687
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,548
made to the will,
688
00:32:21,591 --> 00:32:23,942
that was electronically signed.
689
00:32:24,681 --> 00:32:26,553
How could you hurt grandmother?
690
00:32:26,596 --> 00:32:28,947
Utter nonsense. I would never--
691
00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,166
You cannot prove any of this.
692
00:32:32,994 --> 00:32:34,300
You're right.
693
00:32:34,343 --> 00:32:37,303
Elder abuse is incredibly
difficult to prove.
694
00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:39,044
Which is why I called
695
00:32:39,087 --> 00:32:41,263
Deputy District Attorney
Mark Callan.
696
00:32:50,272 --> 00:32:52,144
Keep the damn ring.
697
00:32:58,628 --> 00:33:00,326
I'm really sorry, Ada.
698
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:03,155
It'’s okay.
I know it wasn't you, Min.
699
00:33:07,420 --> 00:33:08,551
Thank you so much.
700
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:12,120
I'm going to be
singing your praises to Andre.
701
00:33:16,255 --> 00:33:18,170
Callan,
What are you doing here?
702
00:33:19,432 --> 00:33:21,216
Did you just use me?
703
00:33:22,087 --> 00:33:23,523
Don't know what you mean.
704
00:33:27,048 --> 00:33:28,615
What if I don't take it?
705
00:33:28,658 --> 00:33:30,530
If Judge Carmichael
rules against us
706
00:33:30,573 --> 00:33:34,055
at the evidentiary hearing, you
go back to prison indefinitely.
707
00:33:34,099 --> 00:33:35,970
- Do we have a chance?
- Yes.
708
00:33:36,014 --> 00:33:37,580
We are very
close to finding Joe.
709
00:33:37,624 --> 00:33:39,147
And if Julia doesn't show,
710
00:33:39,191 --> 00:33:41,584
then Judge Carmichael
will issue an arrest warrant.
711
00:33:41,628 --> 00:33:43,064
You talked to Julia?
712
00:33:43,108 --> 00:33:44,848
I had to, Randall.
713
00:33:44,892 --> 00:33:46,372
Is she gonna help me?
714
00:33:46,415 --> 00:33:47,764
I don't know.
715
00:33:52,552 --> 00:33:55,685
Twenty years later,
she's still breaking my heart.
716
00:33:58,297 --> 00:34:00,125
I know this is a hard decision.
717
00:34:05,130 --> 00:34:06,348
What would you do?
718
00:34:20,797 --> 00:34:23,670
I've made my decision.
Accept the offer.
719
00:34:28,762 --> 00:34:30,155
Ms. Lopez.
720
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,941
- Is that it?
- Yes.
721
00:34:36,726 --> 00:34:38,206
You don't have to take the plea.
722
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:40,339
- Is it Julia? She here?
- No. Randall--
723
00:34:40,382 --> 00:34:43,777
All rise.
Court is now in session.
724
00:34:47,737 --> 00:34:49,261
You may be seated.
725
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,655
I was informed
the People made an offer.
726
00:34:52,699 --> 00:34:54,179
- Yes, Your Honor--
- Uh, Your Honor,
727
00:34:54,222 --> 00:34:58,052
Mr. Mack respectfully rejects
the People's offer.
728
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:00,228
The defense has located
Joe Loffton, Your Honor.
729
00:35:00,272 --> 00:35:02,274
And has his sworn statement
that it was Damien Owens
730
00:35:02,317 --> 00:35:05,364
who committed the murder
my client was convicted of.
731
00:35:05,407 --> 00:35:08,280
Your Honor, we spent
the last week discussing
732
00:35:08,323 --> 00:35:11,761
how a signed document
isn't admissible evidence.
733
00:35:11,805 --> 00:35:13,285
The court can't just admit
734
00:35:13,328 --> 00:35:15,156
a signed piece
of paper for the truth.
735
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,028
Except in very
limited circumstances.
736
00:35:18,246 --> 00:35:21,771
Thank you. Ms. Lopez,
why did it take Mr. Loffton
737
00:35:21,815 --> 00:35:23,382
twenty years to come forward?
738
00:35:23,773 --> 00:35:27,212
Fear, Your Honor. Damien Owens
threatened Joe'’s family.
739
00:35:27,255 --> 00:35:29,214
Joe just found out
about Damien's death
740
00:35:29,257 --> 00:35:31,346
and he wants
to do right by my client.
741
00:35:31,390 --> 00:35:34,175
He says that he's
willing to testify if needed.
742
00:35:35,220 --> 00:35:37,570
Ms. Palmer, how do
the people wish to proceed?
743
00:35:37,613 --> 00:35:39,093
Your Honor.
744
00:35:46,318 --> 00:35:49,843
This new evidence corroborates
Damien Owens'’ affidavit.
745
00:35:49,886 --> 00:35:51,366
The people are
no longer confident
746
00:35:51,410 --> 00:35:54,108
we could prove the case
beyond reasonable doubt.
747
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,240
Therefore...
748
00:35:55,762 --> 00:35:57,807
we are
withdrawing our opposition
749
00:35:57,851 --> 00:36:00,070
to the habeas petition and...
750
00:36:00,332 --> 00:36:03,813
agree the conviction
should be vacated.
751
00:36:04,249 --> 00:36:05,859
If the people are no longer
752
00:36:05,902 --> 00:36:07,208
contesting the writ,
then this court
753
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:10,342
will return this
case to the Court of Appeal
754
00:36:10,385 --> 00:36:12,431
and recommend
that the writ be granted.
755
00:36:12,474 --> 00:36:13,954
Mr. Mack.
756
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:19,829
You are released
on your own recognizance.
757
00:36:20,569 --> 00:36:21,701
Thank you, Your Honor.
758
00:36:22,267 --> 00:36:24,399
Mr. Mack,
I would like to apologize
759
00:36:25,052 --> 00:36:26,793
on behalf of the court.
760
00:36:27,750 --> 00:36:29,317
Today is a bittersweet moment.
761
00:36:29,361 --> 00:36:32,712
There is much
to celebrate in that justice
762
00:36:32,755 --> 00:36:34,409
has finally been served.
763
00:36:34,453 --> 00:36:38,326
But there's so much
disappointment and sadness
764
00:36:38,370 --> 00:36:39,980
that it took so long.
765
00:36:42,548 --> 00:36:43,940
This court is adjourned.
766
00:36:45,768 --> 00:36:47,248
Baby, you did it!
767
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:49,859
You're free daddy.
768
00:36:57,171 --> 00:36:58,390
Is it over?
769
00:36:58,433 --> 00:36:59,869
It's over.
770
00:37:03,046 --> 00:37:04,483
How do I begin?
771
00:37:05,310 --> 00:37:07,312
Randall, you're not
going to be alone in this. Okay?
772
00:37:07,355 --> 00:37:10,140
Talisha and I will be
there every step of the way.
773
00:37:10,184 --> 00:37:12,273
I'm going to set
meetings for you,
774
00:37:12,317 --> 00:37:14,275
help you find
a job and a place to live.
775
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:15,885
But for now...
776
00:37:15,929 --> 00:37:17,278
You're going to stay with me,
777
00:37:17,322 --> 00:37:18,975
for as long as you want, daddy.
778
00:37:19,802 --> 00:37:23,763
I will file for compensation
for wrongful conviction.
779
00:37:23,806 --> 00:37:25,373
That is happening.
780
00:37:27,375 --> 00:37:28,463
Um...
781
00:37:33,903 --> 00:37:37,037
Until it comes in,
this might help.
782
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,299
You don't have to
783
00:37:38,343 --> 00:37:40,301
do that-- Oh, Daddy!
784
00:37:40,693 --> 00:37:44,044
It'’s not a lot but
I want you to have it, okay?
785
00:37:44,087 --> 00:37:45,567
It's yours.
786
00:37:48,483 --> 00:37:50,268
Thank you.
787
00:37:50,964 --> 00:37:52,313
You'’re welcome.
788
00:37:52,357 --> 00:37:54,010
And I know
it's been a long road,
789
00:37:54,750 --> 00:37:59,538
you'’re tired but there's this
one last thing I need us to do.
790
00:38:11,941 --> 00:38:14,204
Congratulations.
791
00:38:17,382 --> 00:38:19,862
It is quite satisfying,
when justice is served.
792
00:38:20,385 --> 00:38:22,125
After our earlier conversations,
793
00:38:22,169 --> 00:38:23,866
that is not
the reaction I was expecting.
794
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:26,042
Well, our system of justice
can only be reinforced
795
00:38:26,086 --> 00:38:27,348
by thoughtful debate.
796
00:38:27,392 --> 00:38:30,612
You and I may
not always agree,
797
00:38:30,656 --> 00:38:34,050
but we must be assured that as
long as you wear that robe,
798
00:38:34,616 --> 00:38:36,488
you will always have my respect.
799
00:38:38,054 --> 00:38:39,926
Thank you, Judge Marshall.
800
00:38:49,849 --> 00:38:52,242
Hey, it's the goose.
801
00:38:52,286 --> 00:38:55,420
Goo, goo. Goo, goo.
802
00:39:03,471 --> 00:39:06,213
Then you use the other
hand, boom, boom, boom.
803
00:39:09,651 --> 00:39:11,349
Hey, wife.
804
00:39:11,827 --> 00:39:13,351
Hey, husband.
805
00:39:15,614 --> 00:39:17,093
Mm...
806
00:39:18,443 --> 00:39:20,532
I think we found our nanny.
807
00:39:22,577 --> 00:39:23,578
Really?
808
00:39:24,753 --> 00:39:26,320
Okay.
809
00:39:28,409 --> 00:39:32,413
Daddy, we have
something that we would like
810
00:39:32,457 --> 00:39:33,588
to discuss with you.
811
00:39:35,242 --> 00:39:38,593
What do you think about you
and mama bein'’ Bailey's nanny?
812
00:39:41,161 --> 00:39:44,469
I'’m touched.
But we have to decline.
813
00:39:44,512 --> 00:39:47,428
Don't you need to discuss
this with mama first?
814
00:39:47,472 --> 00:39:49,387
I know exactly what she'll say.
815
00:39:49,996 --> 00:39:53,260
Being a nanny is a job.
We love being grandparents.
816
00:39:53,695 --> 00:39:55,305
It's more fun.
817
00:39:56,045 --> 00:39:58,439
Here, there you go. Go to daddy.
818
00:40:02,095 --> 00:40:03,401
You know what this means?
819
00:40:03,444 --> 00:40:06,404
Hmm. Let the nanny search begin.
