1
00:00:06,590 --> 00:00:08,323
(suspenseful music playing)
2
00:00:08,384 --> 00:00:09,925
(phone ringing)
3
00:00:10,978 --> 00:00:13,387
(operator speaking)
4
00:00:13,505 --> 00:00:16,390
(man speaking)
5
00:00:19,319 --> 00:00:20,969
(operator speaking)
6
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:23,105
(man speaking)
7
00:00:29,947 --> 00:00:31,788
Guy georges: When we were
leaving the club,
8
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:34,516
I hear a bunch of commotion
behind me.
9
00:00:34,577 --> 00:00:37,393
Being in south florida
is really not safe, you know.
10
00:00:37,455 --> 00:00:40,914
Any little thing can escalate
into a big situation.
11
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:46,712
My gut feeling was telling me
12
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:48,756
That something
was gonna happen.
13
00:00:49,950 --> 00:00:52,442
And at that moment,
I discharged my firearm.
14
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:53,677
(gunshot)
15
00:00:58,434 --> 00:01:02,377
To think of having to spend
the rest of my life in prison
16
00:01:02,438 --> 00:01:04,546
Because I decided
to protect myself
17
00:01:04,607 --> 00:01:06,047
Is pretty tough.
18
00:01:06,108 --> 00:01:08,458
I just have to continue
to remind myself
19
00:01:08,486 --> 00:01:11,987
That my actions
were very much justified.
20
00:01:24,051 --> 00:01:26,126
(somber music playing)
21
00:01:30,191 --> 00:01:31,548
Andrew rier:
My name is andrew rier.
22
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:33,717
I'm the attorney
for guy georges.
23
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:37,229
Guy is charged
with first-degree murder
24
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:39,172
For shooting a man
in the parking lot
25
00:01:39,291 --> 00:01:40,532
Of hollywood live night club,
26
00:01:40,534 --> 00:01:41,767
After an argument.
27
00:01:43,521 --> 00:01:44,661
If he's convicted,
28
00:01:44,688 --> 00:01:46,188
He dies in prison.
29
00:01:49,025 --> 00:01:51,126
January 3rd, 2021,
30
00:01:51,153 --> 00:01:53,812
Guy is at a hollywood live
night club.
31
00:01:53,930 --> 00:01:55,480
He's there with his girlfriend.
32
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:57,507
He's there with his cousin.
33
00:01:57,535 --> 00:02:00,119
Around 2:15,
early Sunday morning,
34
00:02:00,237 --> 00:02:02,295
He gets up to leave the club.
35
00:02:02,297 --> 00:02:06,424
He's taking care of his cousin
who's severely inebriated.
36
00:02:06,426 --> 00:02:08,093
While he's assisting him out,
37
00:02:08,095 --> 00:02:09,837
His cousin
accidentally bumps into
38
00:02:09,955 --> 00:02:11,613
The friend of anthony sutton,
39
00:02:11,674 --> 00:02:13,265
The victim.
40
00:02:13,267 --> 00:02:15,950
His friend's name is emily.
41
00:02:16,011 --> 00:02:18,578
That led to emily
being very upset
42
00:02:18,597 --> 00:02:20,772
And screaming at guy.
43
00:02:20,774 --> 00:02:23,608
And he yelled back.
44
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:27,688
At some point,
anthony sutton goes at guy.
45
00:02:28,858 --> 00:02:31,341
Guy leaves the club
because he believes that
46
00:02:31,402 --> 00:02:34,419
This incident is not over.
47
00:02:34,421 --> 00:02:36,155
Something bad's about to happen.
48
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:41,660
Andrew: Guy runs at full speed
to his car.
49
00:02:42,872 --> 00:02:46,723
His car was blocked in
because it was so crowded.
50
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:50,302
And there's only one entrance
and exit.
51
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:53,821
He believes that anthony sutton
is gonna come
52
00:02:53,883 --> 00:02:56,141
And confront him.
53
00:02:56,143 --> 00:02:59,970
Guy made the decision to grab
his gun from the car.
54
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,984
Guy's worst fears were realized
because he saw anthony sutton
55
00:03:14,144 --> 00:03:16,153
Walk directly towards him.
56
00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:22,659
Guy thought he was approaching
in a threatening manner,
57
00:03:23,454 --> 00:03:25,687
Guy produced his handgun,
58
00:03:25,748 --> 00:03:29,374
Held it clearly in front,
warned him.
59
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:33,045
Mr. Sutton continued to walk.
60
00:03:34,089 --> 00:03:36,590
At that point, to guy,
61
00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:40,368
Anthony sutton
appeared to have a gun.
62
00:03:40,429 --> 00:03:43,447
When guy sees him
grab for the waistband,
63
00:03:43,474 --> 00:03:45,974
He thinks
a black object is removed.
64
00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:49,861
Guy felt he had no choice.
65
00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:51,188
It's either kill or be killed.
66
00:03:52,416 --> 00:03:55,433
Guy, walking away, fired.
67
00:03:55,552 --> 00:03:57,611
(gunshots)
68
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:01,156
The victim died at the hospital.
69
00:04:04,044 --> 00:04:09,564
The prosecution alleges
that guy exited hollywood live,
70
00:04:09,625 --> 00:04:11,733
Provoked a confrontation,
71
00:04:11,794 --> 00:04:13,702
Ambushes anthony sutton,
72
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:15,170
And shoots and kills him.
73
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:19,007
I don't believe
the facts support that.
74
00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:21,318
In the state of florida,
75
00:04:21,345 --> 00:04:23,804
You are entitled
to use lethal force
76
00:04:23,922 --> 00:04:26,564
If you're in fear
of imminent bodily harm.
77
00:04:26,566 --> 00:04:30,811
We believe that's exactly what
guy was facing that night.
78
00:04:32,147 --> 00:04:36,741
The security guard
literally heard
anthony sutton say
79
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,628
"I'm gonna go to my trunk
and get mine."
80
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,822
I think he was gonna get
his gun.
81
00:04:44,609 --> 00:04:46,827
Guy used lethal force,
82
00:04:46,945 --> 00:04:48,436
Because if he didn't,
83
00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:51,290
We believe
he would have been dead.
84
00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:15,597
Guy: To be accused
of this crime is crazy.
85
00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:16,798
I never thought
I would have been
86
00:05:16,859 --> 00:05:19,358
In a situation like this.
87
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,545
But coming back home
here is kind of
88
00:05:21,572 --> 00:05:25,032
Embarrassing,
having to lean on my mother.
89
00:05:26,393 --> 00:05:29,536
I'm on 24-hour house arrest.
90
00:05:29,654 --> 00:05:33,123
I don't really too much so
go outside or anything
91
00:05:33,992 --> 00:05:35,691
'cause, um,
92
00:05:35,753 --> 00:05:37,210
Primarily, the embarrassment
93
00:05:37,329 --> 00:05:40,730
Of the ankle monitor,
someone seeing it.
94
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:44,401
As far as my restriction
in the area,
95
00:05:44,428 --> 00:05:47,471
The furthest I'll go is,
maybe, here.
96
00:05:48,724 --> 00:05:50,298
You're free,
but you're not free.
97
00:05:50,417 --> 00:05:53,810
You know, you still feel like
you have shackles on.
98
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:12,504
Going from being around him
every single day to now
99
00:06:12,506 --> 00:06:15,582
Not even being able to partake
in his birthday.
100
00:06:16,326 --> 00:06:17,959
It's pretty tough, you know.
101
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:21,346
Looking in the future,
102
00:06:21,348 --> 00:06:25,425
I may not be here.
So, thinking of
103
00:06:25,544 --> 00:06:26,943
Missing out on
104
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:29,112
Doing certain things
with my son, you know,
105
00:06:29,139 --> 00:06:31,515
Is very hard, is very hard.
106
00:06:32,551 --> 00:06:35,118
If everything does not go well,
107
00:06:35,145 --> 00:06:41,316
I may end up being
completely removed
from his life.
108
00:06:45,447 --> 00:06:47,155
(intense music playing)
109
00:07:03,841 --> 00:07:05,373
Andrew:
So, let's get right to it.
110
00:07:05,492 --> 00:07:07,333
Why don't you,
in your own words,
111
00:07:07,452 --> 00:07:09,719
Just tell me what happened
and I'm gonna listen.
112
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,696
So, um,
113
00:07:11,698 --> 00:07:16,451
I was driving my girlfriend,
geraldine, um, my cousin,
um, ashley.
114
00:07:16,478 --> 00:07:21,890
Ashley recommends to,
"hey, let's go to, um,
hollywood live."
115
00:07:22,008 --> 00:07:24,759
Fast forward
to when we're leaving the club.
116
00:07:24,820 --> 00:07:27,228
Ashley, he accidentally bumps
into a girl,
117
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:29,931
And as I pass her,
she pushes me.
118
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:31,341
I just turn around,
look at her,
119
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:33,201
And just keep going
about my way.
120
00:07:34,270 --> 00:07:36,121
Andrew: So, this doesn't end
the situation?
121
00:07:36,239 --> 00:07:37,739
-No.
-What do you do?
122
00:07:37,899 --> 00:07:40,408
I walk outside,
and we're walking
down the street.
123
00:07:40,568 --> 00:07:43,803
And I hear a bunch of commotion
behind me.
124
00:07:43,805 --> 00:07:46,006
And, when I turn around,
125
00:07:46,124 --> 00:07:47,782
I see three gentlemen,
126
00:07:47,843 --> 00:07:51,118
Um, and one female,
the same female that pushed me.
127
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,938
And she's pointing at me
and gesturing at me, saying,
128
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,474
"there they go, right there."
129
00:07:57,686 --> 00:08:00,537
I see sutton coming at me.
130
00:08:00,564 --> 00:08:03,431
He's being held back
by his friend.
131
00:08:03,591 --> 00:08:06,567
Being in south florida
is really not safe, you know.
132
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:10,380
Any little thing can escalate
into a big situation.
133
00:08:10,407 --> 00:08:11,698
So, at that point,
134
00:08:11,816 --> 00:08:15,418
I'm running to the car, I see
that it's being blocked in.
135
00:08:15,420 --> 00:08:17,954
We're just like sitting ducks
at this point.
136
00:08:20,133 --> 00:08:23,301
Andrew: So you're waiting
for something to happen?
137
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:24,878
My gut feeling was telling me
138
00:08:24,996 --> 00:08:26,304
That something
was gonna happen.
139
00:08:26,306 --> 00:08:28,322
I was hoping that I was wrong.
140
00:08:28,383 --> 00:08:30,734
So I take it upon myself
to grab my firearm
141
00:08:30,761 --> 00:08:32,719
From the glove compartment.
142
00:08:33,555 --> 00:08:34,629
Why do you walk
143
00:08:34,631 --> 00:08:36,731
To the front
of the parking lot?
144
00:08:36,733 --> 00:08:39,476
To go ahead
and protect myself.
145
00:08:40,845 --> 00:08:44,898
I hid behind the white car,
and I'm peeking up,
146
00:08:45,016 --> 00:08:48,826
And I just see sutton,
147
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:53,615
And at that point, I'm like,
"I'm doomed, I'm done for."
148
00:08:54,626 --> 00:08:57,427
I come from behind the car,
149
00:08:57,454 --> 00:09:00,038
And I said,
"hey, what are you trying to do?
What are you trying to do?"
150
00:09:01,416 --> 00:09:03,933
I'm thinking to myself
that he's going to shoot me.
151
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:05,544
He doesn't raise his hands
to you,
152
00:09:05,662 --> 00:09:08,229
-To show he's unarmed?
-No.
153
00:09:08,257 --> 00:09:10,774
I had my gun pointed at him
the entire time,
154
00:09:10,934 --> 00:09:14,519
And I'm just watching his hip,
his waistband.
155
00:09:14,521 --> 00:09:17,188
That's the only thing
I'm looking at.
156
00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:19,741
I see a black object
in his right hand
157
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:23,061
And at that moment,
I discharged my firearm.
158
00:09:25,749 --> 00:09:26,898
Let's get right to the case.
159
00:09:27,017 --> 00:09:29,359
They didn't find a gun
on mr. Sutton.
160
00:09:30,645 --> 00:09:33,296
They're gonna allege
that you were lying in wait.
161
00:09:33,323 --> 00:09:37,208
And according, at least,
to the lead detective's report,
162
00:09:37,210 --> 00:09:38,910
You ambushed the victim.
163
00:09:40,806 --> 00:09:42,472
The biggest pitfall we have is,
164
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:44,457
How do you do
when you're cross-examined?
165
00:09:46,036 --> 00:09:47,586
I know it's emotional, guy.
166
00:09:49,739 --> 00:09:52,290
It's very, very tough, you know.
167
00:09:52,408 --> 00:09:54,392
Having to speak about it
makes me relive
168
00:09:54,394 --> 00:09:55,719
The entire situation.
169
00:09:59,016 --> 00:10:00,732
Andrew:
I believe in my client.
170
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:02,492
He had every reason
to conclude
171
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:04,519
That anthony sutton
had a gun.
172
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:08,222
But, here are some basic facts
we have to deal with.
173
00:10:08,383 --> 00:10:11,192
Number one,
guy really did shoot the gun.
174
00:10:12,437 --> 00:10:16,548
Number two, the police found
no gun on the victim.
175
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:18,249
Which means,
now they're gonna think
176
00:10:18,251 --> 00:10:20,768
That not only
did he shoot to kill,
177
00:10:20,829 --> 00:10:23,121
But that he shot
an unarmed man.
178
00:10:24,741 --> 00:10:26,273
And then, number three,
179
00:10:26,293 --> 00:10:28,718
When you do murder trials,
180
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,914
And the jury sees pictures
from an autopsy,
181
00:10:33,032 --> 00:10:34,749
They wanna blame someone.
182
00:10:34,867 --> 00:10:37,268
And no matter what I do
as the lawyer,
183
00:10:37,270 --> 00:10:40,472
Those facts
are very hard to overcome.
184
00:10:49,024 --> 00:10:51,149
(intense music playing)
185
00:10:52,102 --> 00:10:53,485
(knock on door)
186
00:10:54,571 --> 00:10:55,436
What's up, jj?
187
00:10:55,555 --> 00:10:57,197
Jonathan: Hey,
how are you doing, andy?
188
00:10:57,315 --> 00:10:58,573
Andrew: Surviving.
189
00:11:05,565 --> 00:11:06,981
What are your thoughts?
190
00:11:07,042 --> 00:11:10,009
Jonathan: This is a diagram
of the body.
191
00:11:10,353 --> 00:11:11,610
Right, it indicates
192
00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:13,621
How many times
mr. Sutton was shot
193
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:16,282
And where he sustained
the injuries.
194
00:11:16,301 --> 00:11:18,401
So, we have
three gunshot wounds.
195
00:11:18,428 --> 00:11:20,887
The first is just above
the right knee,
196
00:11:21,005 --> 00:11:23,390
The second,
to the left upper thigh,
197
00:11:23,508 --> 00:11:24,741
And the third,
198
00:11:24,768 --> 00:11:28,019
To the middle of the abdomen
or stomach area.
199
00:11:29,013 --> 00:11:31,139
Perhaps, one starts
200
00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:33,233
To the belly,
and works its way down,
201
00:11:33,351 --> 00:11:37,145
Or one starts to the leg
and works its way up.
202
00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:39,647
You've been handling
homicide cases for a decade,
203
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:40,815
What are your thoughts
on this?
204
00:11:40,933 --> 00:11:43,243
Jonathan: It's much easier
to argue to the court
205
00:11:43,361 --> 00:11:45,670
Where there was
only one gunshot fired.
206
00:11:45,672 --> 00:11:47,155
This was his warning shot,
207
00:11:47,273 --> 00:11:48,957
He didn't intend
to do any harm.
208
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,585
But in this particular case,
where mr. Georges is
209
00:11:52,704 --> 00:11:55,329
Charged with first-degree
premeditated murder,
210
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:56,831
The state's gonna argue,
211
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:59,426
"not one, not two,
three shots.
212
00:11:59,544 --> 00:12:02,095
"he pulled that trigger
and fired at mr. Sutton.
213
00:12:02,213 --> 00:12:04,764
"he wanted to kill him.
This was premeditated.
214
00:12:04,883 --> 00:12:05,949
"he intended to kill him.
215
00:12:05,976 --> 00:12:08,025
"and that's what he tried
to do that night."
216
00:12:08,027 --> 00:12:09,677
Andrew: That's gonna be
a problem for guy.
217
00:12:09,796 --> 00:12:12,004
Jonathan: We'll definitely want
to talk to mr. Georges about
218
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:15,275
Whether he recollects
where his first shot aimed,
219
00:12:15,393 --> 00:12:17,602
Because he does have
target practice,
220
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,346
He's got a concealed permit,
he has been to the range.
221
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:21,856
I want to talk to him about
222
00:12:21,974 --> 00:12:24,892
Where he believes
or if he recalls the first shot
223
00:12:24,953 --> 00:12:27,195
That he fired
was on mr. Sutton.
224
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:28,580
That's really important.
225
00:12:36,206 --> 00:12:37,872
Right now,
we're going to the scene
226
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:39,799
Of where the shooting happened,
227
00:12:39,918 --> 00:12:42,293
And unfortunately,
where mr. Sutton died,
228
00:12:42,411 --> 00:12:45,513
And the events that led
to guy being arrested
and charged.
229
00:12:46,475 --> 00:12:48,600
(intense music playing)
230
00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:56,733
There are two people
on the planet
231
00:12:56,893 --> 00:12:59,152
That experienced this incident
first-hand.
232
00:12:59,270 --> 00:13:01,488
Guy georges and mr. Sutton.
233
00:13:01,606 --> 00:13:04,465
Unfortunately,
mr. Sutton is no longer with us.
234
00:13:04,467 --> 00:13:05,858
That leaves mr. Georges.
235
00:13:05,977 --> 00:13:07,793
Mr. Georges
is the only person alive
236
00:13:07,795 --> 00:13:11,998
Who can describe
exactly how this happened
in real time.
237
00:13:19,282 --> 00:13:21,282
I will point out to you
that those cameras
238
00:13:21,343 --> 00:13:23,818
From cao bakery
are right there.
239
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:25,887
Capture a lot of the episode.
240
00:13:33,045 --> 00:13:35,730
Gentlemen,
thanks for meeting me here.
241
00:13:36,416 --> 00:13:37,874
Jonathan.
242
00:13:37,901 --> 00:13:38,858
-You ready?
-Ready.
243
00:13:38,977 --> 00:13:41,903
Mattie. Guy,
great to have you here.
244
00:13:42,705 --> 00:13:44,405
Let's start from the beginning.
245
00:13:54,801 --> 00:13:56,775
-You're leaving hollywood live.
-Guy: Yes.
246
00:13:56,795 --> 00:13:58,711
Mr. Sutton and his party
are coming in.
247
00:13:58,830 --> 00:14:00,713
-Coming in, yes.
-What happens next?
248
00:14:00,832 --> 00:14:02,656
I'm holding ashley.
249
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:04,233
Pretty much,
he bumps into her,
250
00:14:04,261 --> 00:14:05,552
I'm like, "hey, sorry,
excuse me, sorry."
251
00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:06,886
-Andrew: He bumps into emily?
-Yes.
252
00:14:07,005 --> 00:14:09,055
-Who's sutton's friend.
-Yes.
253
00:14:09,173 --> 00:14:11,290
There's screaming, yelling,
you know,
254
00:14:11,309 --> 00:14:13,726
Profanity here and there
and all that.
255
00:14:13,845 --> 00:14:15,395
And I turn around and I say,
256
00:14:15,513 --> 00:14:17,730
"hey, check your bitch.
We ain't got nothing
going on.
257
00:14:17,849 --> 00:14:19,065
"we don't want no problems."
258
00:14:20,852 --> 00:14:23,510
Andrew: Mr. Sutton
was being held back, wasn't he?
259
00:14:23,572 --> 00:14:25,088
Yes.
260
00:14:25,115 --> 00:14:26,513
Andrew:
What was sutton gonna do?
261
00:14:26,575 --> 00:14:28,074
Guy: He was gonna hit me.
262
00:14:28,192 --> 00:14:29,784
They're pretty much starting
to start a fight.
263
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:33,096
Andrew: And you never
touched sutton?
264
00:14:33,123 --> 00:14:34,247
Guy: No.
265
00:14:41,205 --> 00:14:43,756
Matthew: Was your plan to get
in your car and drive away?
266
00:14:43,875 --> 00:14:44,924
Guy: Yes.
267
00:14:45,043 --> 00:14:47,276
I noticed
that my car was blocked.
268
00:14:47,304 --> 00:14:49,445
I was scared.
269
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:53,207
And where, once you saw
mr. Sutton, did you go
to protect yourself?
270
00:14:53,268 --> 00:14:54,951
Guy: Right here,
where that vehicle is.
271
00:14:54,978 --> 00:14:57,211
Matthew: Between the two cars?
Guy: Yes.
272
00:14:57,272 --> 00:14:58,980
Between the first
two cars, yes.
273
00:15:04,062 --> 00:15:05,111
I was trying to hide,
you know,
274
00:15:05,229 --> 00:15:07,113
Because, obviously,
I was startled and scared.
275
00:15:07,231 --> 00:15:11,525
And I was just hoping
that he would not know
or see where I was at.
276
00:15:11,644 --> 00:15:14,362
Matthew: When he does see you,
and he's about five feet away,
277
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,305
You come out
from behind the car.
278
00:15:16,333 --> 00:15:17,457
Yes.
279
00:15:17,575 --> 00:15:19,033
At the time
you are walking back,
280
00:15:19,151 --> 00:15:20,293
Are you putting your gun
behind your back?
281
00:15:20,411 --> 00:15:21,886
-Guy: No, he sees...
-Can he see it?
282
00:15:21,888 --> 00:15:22,962
-Yes.
-How do you know?
283
00:15:23,081 --> 00:15:24,238
Because, he...
284
00:15:24,299 --> 00:15:26,607
Show me with your hand
the way the gun was held out.
285
00:15:26,609 --> 00:15:28,259
It was pointed
directly at him.
286
00:15:29,145 --> 00:15:30,411
Andrew:
And he keeps walking?
287
00:15:30,472 --> 00:15:31,379
Guy: Mm-hmm.
288
00:15:31,497 --> 00:15:32,805
Andrew: Doesn't stop?
Guy: No.
289
00:15:33,733 --> 00:15:36,217
I pretty much screamed
out at him,
290
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:39,053
"what are you trying to do?
What are you trying to do?"
291
00:15:39,055 --> 00:15:40,179
Andrew:
What does he do?
292
00:15:40,297 --> 00:15:42,482
He was reaching
for his waistband.
293
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,126
Andrew:
And when he grabs
from his waistband...
294
00:15:45,153 --> 00:15:46,894
-I fire.
-How many times?
295
00:15:47,013 --> 00:15:48,196
Three times.
296
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,567
Guy: Had he gone down
on the first shot,
297
00:15:53,686 --> 00:15:55,453
I wouldn't have fired
the second two.
298
00:15:56,489 --> 00:15:57,530
After the third shot,
299
00:15:57,648 --> 00:15:59,457
-The body drops
to the ground.
-Yes.
300
00:16:00,693 --> 00:16:01,909
Why between the first shot
301
00:16:02,028 --> 00:16:03,519
And the third shot,
it went higher?
302
00:16:03,546 --> 00:16:05,413
Because the recoil
when you're shooting,
303
00:16:05,531 --> 00:16:09,717
You end up shooting higher
than you actually anticipate.
304
00:16:10,703 --> 00:16:12,028
-Andrew: Did you shoot
to kill?
-No.
305
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:14,055
-Why?
-Because I'm not a killer.
306
00:16:22,023 --> 00:16:23,856
(intense music playing)
307
00:16:23,975 --> 00:16:26,267
Matthew: So, what we have
here now, andy, is
308
00:16:26,385 --> 00:16:28,569
The video surveillance
from that night.
309
00:16:32,008 --> 00:16:34,050
Andrew: We're gonna review
the surveillance video.
310
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:38,413
We have to watch and see
if the pictures match the story.
311
00:16:40,258 --> 00:16:43,251
Cctv can acquit
or convict you.
312
00:16:50,409 --> 00:16:51,551
Let's do it.
313
00:16:53,337 --> 00:16:54,295
This is the bakery lot
314
00:16:54,413 --> 00:16:55,963
That we see
up in the foreground.
315
00:16:56,082 --> 00:16:58,599
-Andrew: Across the street
from hollywood live.
-Exactly.
316
00:17:00,636 --> 00:17:02,603
It's zoomed in four times.
317
00:17:11,664 --> 00:17:13,664
Andrew:
That figure, that's guy?
318
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:14,907
Matthew: Exactly.
319
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:19,245
And guy, at this point,
320
00:17:20,198 --> 00:17:21,414
Goes to hide
321
00:17:21,532 --> 00:17:24,292
Behind the white car
to protect himself.
322
00:17:25,277 --> 00:17:27,995
Because he can see mr. Sutton
323
00:17:28,114 --> 00:17:29,714
Walking towards him.
324
00:17:40,292 --> 00:17:42,810
He's approaching him
aggressively.
325
00:17:43,772 --> 00:17:45,229
Andrew: He's walking
with a purpose.
326
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:51,819
Guy is walking
away from sutton.
327
00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:57,024
This is not described
in any police report.
328
00:17:57,143 --> 00:17:58,892
Matthew: And it helps guy out.
329
00:17:58,953 --> 00:18:01,362
Wow. That, uh...
330
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,747
That tells quite a story
331
00:18:02,865 --> 00:18:06,459
And it, uh, doesn't really need
any words around it, does it?
332
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,404
Matthew: I'll play it back
333
00:18:10,465 --> 00:18:12,940
And we'll see
from the left-hand side
of the screen,
334
00:18:13,059 --> 00:18:15,676
Mr. Sutton, walking.
335
00:18:17,255 --> 00:18:19,155
Andrew: A second ago,
if you go back a second,
336
00:18:19,182 --> 00:18:21,641
It looks sutton's hand
is behind his back.
337
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:22,850
There.
338
00:18:29,433 --> 00:18:31,818
So, we can just barely see it
from this angle.
339
00:18:31,936 --> 00:18:33,820
But his hand does look like
it's behind his back,
340
00:18:33,938 --> 00:18:37,064
Which is exactly
what guy described for us.
341
00:18:37,183 --> 00:18:41,327
I look at that picture
and I think, "not guilty."
342
00:18:41,445 --> 00:18:43,996
We have an angle
from a little bit further back.
343
00:18:44,115 --> 00:18:46,207
Hopefully, it's easier to see.
344
00:18:47,777 --> 00:18:50,002
He certainly seems
to have something
345
00:18:50,121 --> 00:18:53,947
In his back pocket
weighing his pants down.
346
00:18:54,008 --> 00:18:55,675
You know, it may not be
347
00:18:55,793 --> 00:18:58,719
A photo of the gun,
but it's darn close.
348
00:19:08,306 --> 00:19:12,567
This is actually mr. Sutton's
friends in this car.
349
00:19:13,736 --> 00:19:16,904
His friends drag his body.
350
00:19:17,723 --> 00:19:18,698
And then,
351
00:19:18,816 --> 00:19:22,218
Curiously, out of nowhere,
one of his buddies
352
00:19:22,245 --> 00:19:28,332
Takes off, runs off camera
for exactly 40 seconds.
353
00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:41,186
We can't say with absolute
certainty that there was a gun.
354
00:19:41,188 --> 00:19:44,223
But what's important in a case
like this is opportunity.
355
00:19:44,342 --> 00:19:45,908
We know the motive,
356
00:19:45,935 --> 00:19:48,561
To protect
his friend's reputation,
357
00:19:48,679 --> 00:19:50,304
But now we have the opportunity,
358
00:19:50,422 --> 00:19:53,874
The opportunity
to stash that weapon.
359
00:19:53,902 --> 00:19:56,435
So, I think this is
exactly what we need
360
00:19:56,553 --> 00:19:57,570
To show everybody
361
00:19:57,688 --> 00:20:01,482
That guy was justifiably
afraid of mr. Sutton
362
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,075
Due to the fact
that he had a gun
363
00:20:03,194 --> 00:20:05,152
Or sure acted like he had one.
364
00:20:05,271 --> 00:20:06,746
Andrew: What you've done
365
00:20:06,864 --> 00:20:07,838
Is fill in
366
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,957
All the missing pieces
of the puzzle.
367
00:20:12,027 --> 00:20:15,179
Do I wish that we saw
anthony sutton had a gun on him?
368
00:20:15,181 --> 00:20:16,255
It's not there.
369
00:20:17,449 --> 00:20:19,759
Do I wish
that we were able to see
370
00:20:19,877 --> 00:20:22,595
His friend carry away
a gun? Yes,
371
00:20:22,713 --> 00:20:24,263
I do.
372
00:20:24,382 --> 00:20:26,674
Do I think that we are blessed
373
00:20:26,792 --> 00:20:29,618
To have as much video
that we have?
374
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:32,605
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.
375
00:20:35,151 --> 00:20:37,276
(melancholy music playing)
376
00:20:40,898 --> 00:20:43,707
Guy: I'm a kid
who was raised in church,
377
00:20:43,709 --> 00:20:46,994
Go to school and go home.
378
00:20:54,553 --> 00:20:57,129
The three l's, coming from
a haitian background,
379
00:20:57,248 --> 00:20:59,873
L'ecole, l'eglise,
l'akay.
380
00:20:59,992 --> 00:21:01,634
L'ecole is school,
381
00:21:01,752 --> 00:21:03,727
L'eglise is church,
382
00:21:03,729 --> 00:21:05,346
L'akay is home.
383
00:21:07,925 --> 00:21:11,385
This situation is very tough
on our family.
384
00:21:11,387 --> 00:21:14,939
Having to
see my mother,
385
00:21:15,674 --> 00:21:18,058
You know, lose weight,
386
00:21:18,177 --> 00:21:20,486
Because she's not eating,
you know,
387
00:21:21,531 --> 00:21:23,030
Is very tough.
388
00:21:28,329 --> 00:21:29,954
Guirlaine:
When I heard what happened,
389
00:21:30,856 --> 00:21:33,015
I almost fainted.
390
00:21:33,042 --> 00:21:34,000
I don't know if there was
391
00:21:34,118 --> 00:21:36,877
Anything worse that could happen
392
00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:38,713
In this family.
393
00:21:40,933 --> 00:21:42,675
He has remorse.
394
00:21:43,753 --> 00:21:45,386
One day, he said,
395
00:21:46,297 --> 00:21:50,257
"mommy, I think in my family,
396
00:21:50,376 --> 00:21:53,352
"I will not be regarded
the same way."
397
00:21:53,471 --> 00:21:57,189
I said, "no, I will continue
to love you no matter what."
398
00:22:00,278 --> 00:22:02,862
I'm really grateful for you
399
00:22:02,980 --> 00:22:04,271
Being here with me
400
00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:07,199
To help me get through
this situation.
401
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:09,243
I'm glad...
402
00:22:11,873 --> 00:22:15,374
I was able to do
what I had to do.
403
00:22:15,493 --> 00:22:18,302
No matter
what life will bring,
404
00:22:18,304 --> 00:22:20,421
We go through it together.
405
00:22:21,390 --> 00:22:25,259
Because you are my son
and I love you.
406
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:29,680
(sniffling)
407
00:22:32,510 --> 00:22:34,685
(suspenseful music playing)
408
00:22:37,582 --> 00:22:38,898
(man speaking)
409
00:22:39,016 --> 00:22:41,083
(operator speaking)
410
00:22:41,110 --> 00:22:43,068
(man speaking)
411
00:22:43,070 --> 00:22:44,695
Andrew: John?
Jonathan: Yeah.
412
00:22:44,814 --> 00:22:46,146
Andrew: Need you.
413
00:22:46,265 --> 00:22:49,458
Now. I'm listening
to the 911 call. You ready?
414
00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:51,285
-Jonathan: I'm ready.
-Come on.
415
00:22:57,034 --> 00:23:00,728
What do we like to say
we look for in these cases?
416
00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:03,639
We're always looking for
the needle in the haystack.
417
00:23:03,641 --> 00:23:07,802
We know that anthony sutton
wasn't alone that night.
418
00:23:08,521 --> 00:23:09,804
Let's pull it up.
419
00:23:13,551 --> 00:23:15,101
(operator speaking)
420
00:23:17,555 --> 00:23:19,105
(man 1 speaking)
421
00:23:19,223 --> 00:23:20,773
(operator speaking)
422
00:23:21,725 --> 00:23:23,234
(man 1 speaking)
423
00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:26,821
(man 2 speaking)
424
00:23:28,232 --> 00:23:29,347
(operator speaking)
425
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:30,658
(man 1 speaking)
426
00:23:32,695 --> 00:23:34,328
(man 2 speaking)
427
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:39,458
Wow! That's incredible.
428
00:23:40,837 --> 00:23:42,461
There is no question
in my mind
429
00:23:42,580 --> 00:23:45,256
That that call helps
our argument.
430
00:23:46,917 --> 00:23:51,745
His buddy blaming sutton
for what happened to sutton.
431
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:52,947
"I warned you.
432
00:23:52,949 --> 00:23:53,881
"I told you.
433
00:23:53,999 --> 00:23:55,307
"you shouldn't have gone there.
434
00:23:55,426 --> 00:23:57,142
"you shouldn't have done it."
435
00:23:57,144 --> 00:23:58,402
That's incredible.
436
00:23:58,404 --> 00:24:00,220
The state is gonna
have a hard time
437
00:24:00,339 --> 00:24:01,981
Explaining what sutton's friends
438
00:24:02,099 --> 00:24:06,318
Were trying to prevent him
from doing and explaining
that call.
439
00:24:07,229 --> 00:24:09,387
Andrew: They're talking
to sutton.
440
00:24:09,407 --> 00:24:11,398
"I told you to stop.
441
00:24:11,517 --> 00:24:13,617
"I told you to stop."
442
00:24:14,662 --> 00:24:17,496
The most important thing
we learned tonight,
443
00:24:17,615 --> 00:24:19,707
I think mr. Sutton
was the aggressor.
444
00:24:26,365 --> 00:24:28,298
(intense music playing)
445
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,176
(phone ringing)
446
00:24:36,684 --> 00:24:39,426
Andrew: We can seek dismissal
of a homicide case
447
00:24:39,545 --> 00:24:41,261
Based on a right to carry
a firearm
448
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:44,932
And based on a right to use
lethal force as a self-defense
449
00:24:45,050 --> 00:24:48,068
If you fear
imminent bodily harm.
450
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,110
If you win a
stand your ground motion,
451
00:24:57,229 --> 00:24:58,554
You do not go to trial.
452
00:24:58,581 --> 00:25:00,297
The case is dismissed.
453
00:25:00,299 --> 00:25:02,950
Guy will be 100 percent
a free man.
454
00:25:03,068 --> 00:25:04,919
(intense music continues)
455
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,632
It's a big deal,
and, uh, if it works,
456
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:23,303
We're literally throwing out
an indictment on
first-degree murder.
457
00:25:23,422 --> 00:25:27,307
But there's no question
in my mind that to prevail,
458
00:25:27,426 --> 00:25:29,476
Mr. Georges needs to testify.
459
00:25:29,595 --> 00:25:31,445
So there's a lot riding
on this.
460
00:25:35,618 --> 00:25:37,484
Guy, how you doing man?
461
00:25:37,603 --> 00:25:39,453
-Great, great, great.
-We're almost there.
462
00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:49,162
It's really important
that you answer honestly.
463
00:25:49,281 --> 00:25:50,163
Okay.
464
00:25:50,282 --> 00:25:52,165
We need to hear the truth.
465
00:25:52,284 --> 00:25:53,942
Matthew: You know,
the prosecutor in this case,
466
00:25:53,970 --> 00:25:57,203
She's gonna know
how to tactically
467
00:25:57,223 --> 00:25:58,973
Attempt to get you angry.
468
00:26:00,092 --> 00:26:02,509
I'm gonna throw
questions at you.
469
00:26:02,628 --> 00:26:05,712
And it's very important that you
470
00:26:05,831 --> 00:26:07,773
Maintain your demeanor
throughout the courtroom.
471
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:10,183
All right.
472
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:12,903
Mr. Georges, you shot
and killed an unarmed man.
473
00:26:14,448 --> 00:26:16,282
I believe he had a firearm.
474
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,859
I'd seen the black object
in his right hand
475
00:26:18,977 --> 00:26:22,395
And he was gesturing
and grabbing his waistband
throughout the entire time
476
00:26:22,415 --> 00:26:24,230
When he was walking
across the street
477
00:26:24,250 --> 00:26:26,883
Up until when I fired.
478
00:26:26,885 --> 00:26:29,336
-Matthew: But the police
never found a gun.
-No.
479
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:31,605
He was not unarmed.
480
00:26:31,632 --> 00:26:33,073
He was very much so armed.
481
00:26:33,092 --> 00:26:36,576
He walked confidently,
with a purpose, over to me.
482
00:26:36,596 --> 00:26:37,611
I shouted at him.
483
00:26:37,638 --> 00:26:39,079
I screamed at him.
484
00:26:39,140 --> 00:26:41,247
Hoping and praying
that, you know,
485
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:44,584
The sight of seeing my firearm
would get him to back off.
486
00:26:44,604 --> 00:26:48,221
But even then,
that didn't stop him.
487
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:51,525
Matthew: You don't know
why he was walking
to the parking lot.
488
00:26:53,729 --> 00:26:56,079
He wasn't walking over
to give me a hug.
489
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:58,782
Matthew: So you're just guessing
that he was coming for you?
490
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:01,568
Guy: I knew
he was coming for me.
491
00:27:01,687 --> 00:27:02,970
Matthew: How did you know?
492
00:27:02,972 --> 00:27:05,063
Guy: Because of his demeanor.
493
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:07,257
He tried to punch me
in front of the club
494
00:27:07,259 --> 00:27:09,501
Because I called his girlfriend
a bitch.
495
00:27:11,313 --> 00:27:13,947
Matthew: You'll admit you were
very rude that night?
496
00:27:14,008 --> 00:27:15,549
Guy: Yes, I was rude to her.
497
00:27:16,502 --> 00:27:18,052
Matthew: And you shot
mr. Sutton.
498
00:27:20,422 --> 00:27:22,789
Guy: Had mr. Sutton
presented himself
499
00:27:22,850 --> 00:27:24,624
Any other way
other than a threat,
500
00:27:24,685 --> 00:27:25,776
Then I would not have shot.
501
00:27:25,778 --> 00:27:27,627
I gave him multiple opportunity
502
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:29,980
To back away
and get away from me.
503
00:27:32,384 --> 00:27:35,435
Matthew: Now,
you say you gave him
multiple opportunities,
504
00:27:35,554 --> 00:27:39,623
But isn't it true
from the point in time
505
00:27:39,625 --> 00:27:42,943
Where you stood up
until you shot him,
506
00:27:43,061 --> 00:27:44,945
Only a few seconds go by?
507
00:27:45,063 --> 00:27:48,648
I'm seeing him
grabbing a black object
508
00:27:48,668 --> 00:27:49,925
At his waistband.
509
00:27:49,927 --> 00:27:52,586
I know at this point of time,
my life is over with.
510
00:27:54,548 --> 00:27:58,975
Mr. Georges, isn't it true
that you were actually
hiding behind that car
511
00:27:58,977 --> 00:28:01,828
So you could jump out
and ambush him,
512
00:28:01,889 --> 00:28:04,131
Firing before he was ready
to defend himself?
513
00:28:04,249 --> 00:28:07,634
No. If I wanted to kill him,
I could have shot him
from behind the vehicle.
514
00:28:07,753 --> 00:28:09,687
I have no further questions,
mr. Georges.
515
00:28:12,683 --> 00:28:14,340
Andrew: I realize
this isn't easy,
516
00:28:14,402 --> 00:28:16,050
But I think you did great.
517
00:28:16,570 --> 00:28:17,978
You kept your composure.
518
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:20,798
You were very even-keeled.
519
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,201
Do what you did today in court,
and we'll do the rest.
520
00:28:24,319 --> 00:28:26,120
-Guy: Okay.
-Good job.
521
00:28:34,588 --> 00:28:37,414
Andrew: The hearing is gonna
commence at 10:30
tomorrow morning.
522
00:28:37,532 --> 00:28:41,885
I'm in charge, so any mistakes
that are made are made by me.
523
00:28:43,264 --> 00:28:44,972
It's not easy.
524
00:28:46,592 --> 00:28:48,642
(intense music playing)
525
00:28:57,469 --> 00:29:00,821
She's the girl that sort of
launched this entire incident.
526
00:29:01,407 --> 00:29:02,889
And I'm terrified.
527
00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:06,226
I have no earthly idea
what this woman's gonna say.
528
00:29:06,287 --> 00:29:09,546
That is harrowing,
considering that my client
529
00:29:09,548 --> 00:29:11,665
Is facing life in prison
on first-degree murder.
530
00:29:24,396 --> 00:29:27,564
Guy: Last night, I barely slept.
531
00:29:27,566 --> 00:29:30,416
Just been thinking
and anticipating everything
532
00:29:30,478 --> 00:29:33,103
That's supposed to unfold.
533
00:29:43,824 --> 00:29:47,843
Andrew: The standard
for a stand your ground is,
534
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:50,086
What did you believe
would happen
535
00:29:50,088 --> 00:29:52,272
That you needed to use
lethal force?
536
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:55,842
And if you believed
bodily damage was imminent,
537
00:29:55,844 --> 00:29:59,996
Whether the victim
was armed or not,
538
00:30:00,115 --> 00:30:02,466
You're allowed
to defend yourself.
539
00:30:10,792 --> 00:30:14,127
Judge: We're here in the matter
of the state of florida
v. Guy georges,
540
00:30:14,188 --> 00:30:18,798
Case number 21 007194c
of today.
541
00:30:18,859 --> 00:30:20,901
Okay, let's, uh, proceed.
542
00:30:28,126 --> 00:30:34,281
Matthew: Mr. Georges
was reasonably in fear
of great bodily harm or death
543
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:36,967
And had no other alternative
but to use deadly force
544
00:30:36,969 --> 00:30:38,952
When mr. Sutton approached him.
545
00:30:39,070 --> 00:30:42,747
And therefore we believe that
this court should find
that mr. Georges
546
00:30:42,866 --> 00:30:45,425
Was justifiably acting
in self-defense.
547
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:54,334
Taylor: It's the state's
argument that mr. Georges
was the initial aggressor
548
00:30:54,395 --> 00:30:57,095
In that altercation,
that this was not self-defense,
549
00:30:57,213 --> 00:31:00,440
That he in fact, jumped out
and ambushed mr. Sutton.
550
00:31:10,669 --> 00:31:12,786
(suspenseful music playing)
551
00:31:17,668 --> 00:31:22,104
Taylor: Miss heichelbech,
you saw guy georges outside
the club, what happened?
552
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:24,748
We were in the club,
in the line
553
00:31:24,866 --> 00:31:30,170
And he backed in front of me
and I pushed him off of me.
554
00:31:30,288 --> 00:31:32,222
And he got angry with me.
555
00:31:34,860 --> 00:31:36,768
To tony, he said,
"check your bitch.
556
00:31:36,887 --> 00:31:38,604
"check your hoe,"
something like that.
557
00:31:39,222 --> 00:31:40,713
And I got offended.
558
00:31:40,774 --> 00:31:43,033
And I said,
"who are you calling a hoe?"
559
00:31:43,035 --> 00:31:45,736
And then he comes after me
to try to attack me.
560
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:49,907
Tony was in front of me...
561
00:31:50,826 --> 00:31:53,785
Really far in front of me.
562
00:31:53,904 --> 00:31:55,862
Taylor: Did he have a firearm
with him?
563
00:31:55,981 --> 00:31:58,665
No. Not that I know of.
564
00:32:03,205 --> 00:32:04,996
What did you observe happen?
565
00:32:05,115 --> 00:32:10,135
It seemed as if tony
wanted something to pop off.
566
00:32:12,756 --> 00:32:14,681
(intense music playing)
567
00:32:17,736 --> 00:32:19,736
Andrew: You cannot rule out
the scenario, can you,
568
00:32:19,738 --> 00:32:22,238
That tony sutton had a gun?
Correct?
569
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,848
I'm not sure if tony had a gun.
570
00:32:23,967 --> 00:32:26,818
I never saw a gun on him
that evening.
571
00:32:26,937 --> 00:32:29,971
You had seen tony
previously with a gun, correct?
572
00:32:30,132 --> 00:32:31,398
Emily: Years ago.
573
00:32:31,516 --> 00:32:33,433
Andrew: All right.
So you had seen him
with a gun before?
574
00:32:33,494 --> 00:32:34,993
Yes.
575
00:32:36,396 --> 00:32:38,738
Andrew: By the time you get back
to the car, miss heichelbech,
576
00:32:38,857 --> 00:32:40,231
He was going
into the parking lot
577
00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:41,583
To confront somebody, correct?
578
00:32:41,743 --> 00:32:43,877
Correct. More than likely.
579
00:32:46,765 --> 00:32:49,166
And the reason you thought
that is because he said,
580
00:32:49,168 --> 00:32:51,284
"something's gonna pop off,"
correct?
581
00:32:51,345 --> 00:32:52,552
Yes.
582
00:32:54,965 --> 00:32:56,056
Andrew: Nothing further.
583
00:32:58,352 --> 00:33:00,293
Judge: The witness
can step down.
You're excused.
584
00:33:00,354 --> 00:33:02,896
Uh, we're gonna take
our lunch break at this time.
585
00:33:04,692 --> 00:33:08,860
I don't think
any of the three of us were
ever in our wildest dreams
586
00:33:08,979 --> 00:33:12,956
Thought that emily heichelbech
would go as well as it did.
587
00:33:12,958 --> 00:33:14,049
From a defense standpoint,
588
00:33:14,076 --> 00:33:16,076
Her testimony was
a ten out of ten.
589
00:33:20,657 --> 00:33:22,465
Taylor: The state will call
detective ryan rillo.
590
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,584
(suspenseful music playing)
591
00:33:27,639 --> 00:33:30,382
During the seven months
that you were investigating
this case,
592
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:34,144
Did you look into
whether or not self-defense
was applicable here?
593
00:33:34,146 --> 00:33:36,972
-Yes.
-Taylor: And what
did you determine?
594
00:33:37,132 --> 00:33:42,227
There was no witness testimony
that they saw the victim
with a firearm.
595
00:33:42,345 --> 00:33:45,822
And there was no physical
evidence either in the car
that we recovered
596
00:33:45,824 --> 00:33:50,861
Or on the victim that had
anything to do with a firearm
or firearm paraphernalia.
597
00:33:55,242 --> 00:33:57,367
Taylor: No further questions
at this time, your honor.
598
00:34:04,868 --> 00:34:06,192
I walked outside, uh,
599
00:34:06,253 --> 00:34:08,378
And all I heard was a bunch
of yelling and screaming
600
00:34:08,497 --> 00:34:10,847
From the deceased.
601
00:34:10,849 --> 00:34:13,258
"I ain't about this.
Look, I'm gonna go get mine.
602
00:34:13,376 --> 00:34:15,761
"he finna go get his,
we finna do this."
603
00:34:17,247 --> 00:34:20,057
Matthew: When you hear
mr. Sutton screaming
and yelling,
604
00:34:20,175 --> 00:34:21,767
"I'm gonna go get mine,"
605
00:34:21,885 --> 00:34:26,196
Did you have any belief that
he was going to get a gun
at that point?
606
00:34:26,198 --> 00:34:28,065
Yes. I did believe that.
607
00:34:38,902 --> 00:34:40,118
Yes, ma'am.
608
00:34:41,479 --> 00:34:43,914
(taylor speaking)
609
00:34:46,576 --> 00:34:48,384
I would presume so, yes.
610
00:34:48,386 --> 00:34:50,253
(dramatic music plays)
611
00:35:04,878 --> 00:35:06,978
Andrew: Can you tell this
honorable court
612
00:35:07,097 --> 00:35:08,972
Who ashley henriquez is?
613
00:35:09,090 --> 00:35:10,140
Guy: He's my cousin.
614
00:35:10,258 --> 00:35:11,808
Andrew: Why were you
helping him out?
615
00:35:11,926 --> 00:35:13,143
Because he was drunk
616
00:35:13,261 --> 00:35:14,727
And he couldn't control himself.
617
00:35:14,846 --> 00:35:17,947
And then he stumbles
and bumps into emily.
618
00:35:17,949 --> 00:35:19,449
She literally just pushed me.
619
00:35:20,494 --> 00:35:21,751
Andrew: What happens next?
620
00:35:21,753 --> 00:35:24,888
Mr. Sutton was being restrained
by his friend
621
00:35:25,006 --> 00:35:26,540
And I start running to the car.
622
00:35:27,292 --> 00:35:28,867
I was concerned mr. Sutton
623
00:35:28,985 --> 00:35:33,130
Was going to come back and,
um, you know, attack us.
624
00:35:33,248 --> 00:35:36,766
So, I go
to the glove compartment
625
00:35:36,768 --> 00:35:38,218
And I grab my firearm.
626
00:35:40,180 --> 00:35:42,622
I see mr. Sutton
across the street.
627
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:44,641
-Andrew: Did that scare you?
-Yes, of course.
628
00:35:44,759 --> 00:35:47,686
I'm hoping that he doesn't even
see me behind the car.
629
00:35:49,964 --> 00:35:52,348
Andrew: When do you emerge
from the white car?
630
00:35:52,467 --> 00:35:55,468
When he's about, like,
six feet from the car.
631
00:35:55,529 --> 00:35:56,736
Andrew: Come down, sir.
632
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:00,991
Can you scream out exactly
633
00:36:01,109 --> 00:36:03,359
What you did that night
a year ago?
634
00:36:03,478 --> 00:36:06,045
Hey! What are you trying to do?
What are you trying to do?
635
00:36:06,047 --> 00:36:08,999
Andrew: When you said that,
at any point,
636
00:36:09,117 --> 00:36:11,784
-Does mr. Sutton
raise his hands?
-No.
637
00:36:11,945 --> 00:36:14,654
-Does mr. Sutton say,
"hey, I'm unarmed"?
-No.
638
00:36:14,715 --> 00:36:18,141
-Does mr. Sutton say,
"my bad, I want to talk to you"?
-No.
639
00:36:18,143 --> 00:36:19,475
Does he say anything?
640
00:36:19,477 --> 00:36:21,678
Guy: Had he said that,
I would have lowered
the firearm.
641
00:36:23,148 --> 00:36:24,480
Andrew: Let me ask you this.
642
00:36:24,482 --> 00:36:26,149
Was he acting like
someone with a gun?
643
00:36:26,151 --> 00:36:28,151
Yes, most definitely.
644
00:36:28,153 --> 00:36:29,835
Can you describe
what he's doing with his hands?
645
00:36:29,897 --> 00:36:31,871
He was reaching
at his waistband,
646
00:36:31,873 --> 00:36:34,191
And at that point,
I see a black object.
647
00:36:36,161 --> 00:36:38,561
-Is that why you fired?
-Guy: Yes.
648
00:36:38,563 --> 00:36:41,131
Andrew: Did you fire
center mass or at his head?
649
00:36:41,133 --> 00:36:42,665
-Guy: No.
-Why?
650
00:36:42,667 --> 00:36:44,734
I wasn't trying to kill him.
651
00:36:44,852 --> 00:36:46,244
We've no further questions,
judge.
652
00:36:53,370 --> 00:36:54,920
Judge: Okay, we're back
on the matter of
653
00:36:55,038 --> 00:36:57,154
The state of florida
v. Guy georges.
654
00:36:57,174 --> 00:36:58,790
And we are here
for the continuation
655
00:36:58,908 --> 00:37:00,842
Of the stand your ground motion.
656
00:37:13,506 --> 00:37:15,398
(taylor speaking)
657
00:37:21,365 --> 00:37:23,347
Guy: He walked over
with a purpose,
658
00:37:23,367 --> 00:37:25,516
Very much so confident.
659
00:37:25,535 --> 00:37:28,227
He had his hand, um,
touching his waistband
660
00:37:28,288 --> 00:37:32,690
Throughout the entire time
when he emerged
from the bushes.
661
00:37:32,709 --> 00:37:35,293
He was fidgeting with his pants
the entire way
662
00:37:35,412 --> 00:37:38,171
Up until I come out
from behind the white cadillac.
663
00:37:39,508 --> 00:37:42,509
(taylor speaking)
664
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,380
Guy: I'm pulling up my pants
to fix my pants.
665
00:37:47,498 --> 00:37:49,432
(taylor speaking)
666
00:37:50,394 --> 00:37:52,644
Not necessarily speaking, no.
667
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:03,855
Yes.
668
00:38:03,973 --> 00:38:05,865
(dramatic music plays)
669
00:38:08,294 --> 00:38:09,327
(taylor speaking)
670
00:38:13,883 --> 00:38:15,375
Andrew: The defense rests,
your honor.
671
00:38:17,954 --> 00:38:19,254
(taylor speaking)
672
00:38:34,003 --> 00:38:36,262
Taylor: As tony's walking,
what were you all doing?
673
00:38:36,381 --> 00:38:38,039
David: We were waiting
in the car
674
00:38:38,066 --> 00:38:40,108
And it happened so fast.
675
00:38:42,203 --> 00:38:44,362
And then, I see tony.
676
00:38:44,481 --> 00:38:47,407
Next thing you know, bullets
and tony was hit and he fell.
677
00:38:53,731 --> 00:38:54,914
(sobbing)
678
00:38:56,993 --> 00:39:00,545
I heard the shots and I seen
my brother fall. (sniffling)
679
00:39:00,663 --> 00:39:01,880
What did you do then?
680
00:39:01,998 --> 00:39:03,623
David: We both
jumped out of the car
681
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:06,517
And we picked him up
to move him out of the street.
682
00:39:06,636 --> 00:39:09,112
Taylor: Did you remove anything
from tony?
683
00:39:09,230 --> 00:39:10,555
Did you remove a firearm?
684
00:39:10,673 --> 00:39:13,600
David: No way.
Tony didn't have no firearm.
685
00:39:16,513 --> 00:39:18,337
Tony's not a gangster,
686
00:39:18,398 --> 00:39:20,264
He's nothing like that.
687
00:39:20,383 --> 00:39:22,341
Taylor: No further questions,
your honor.
688
00:39:22,361 --> 00:39:24,486
(suspenseful music playing)
689
00:39:26,222 --> 00:39:27,780
Judge: The witness is excused.
690
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:29,074
You can step down.
691
00:39:33,196 --> 00:39:34,579
Thank you, everybody.
692
00:39:34,697 --> 00:39:36,206
We are adjourned.
693
00:39:39,702 --> 00:39:41,836
(somber music playing)
694
00:39:55,268 --> 00:39:56,333
Andrew: Closings are important.
695
00:39:56,353 --> 00:40:01,180
This is our last chance
to get it right.
696
00:40:01,299 --> 00:40:04,317
If we lose, and we lose
the trial, guy dies in jail.
697
00:40:05,636 --> 00:40:09,114
If we win,
this case is dismissed.
698
00:40:13,537 --> 00:40:15,787
Guy: As much as
I don't try to think of
699
00:40:15,905 --> 00:40:18,957
Having to spend
the rest of my life in prison,
700
00:40:19,075 --> 00:40:21,459
It's kind of sort of creeping up
in the back of my mind
701
00:40:21,578 --> 00:40:24,129
That the possibility is there.
702
00:40:25,615 --> 00:40:27,865
We're all hoping for the charges
being dismissed
703
00:40:27,884 --> 00:40:31,052
And, you know,
being able to continue my life.
704
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:41,646
(intense music playing)
705
00:41:00,024 --> 00:41:02,125
(suspenseful music playing)
706
00:41:04,137 --> 00:41:05,228
Hi, guy.
707
00:41:05,230 --> 00:41:06,312
Hi, guirlaine.
708
00:41:06,339 --> 00:41:07,571
Guy: Hey, how's it going?
709
00:41:07,591 --> 00:41:09,299
Okay.
710
00:41:09,417 --> 00:41:14,312
I want to discuss moving on
because it's been three months,
711
00:41:14,314 --> 00:41:16,547
-You know what I mean?
-Guy: Okay.
712
00:41:16,666 --> 00:41:19,017
We got a 21-page order
713
00:41:19,135 --> 00:41:24,981
From judge garcia-wood
that the first-degree murder
charges against you...
714
00:41:28,645 --> 00:41:30,069
Have been dismissed.
715
00:41:31,055 --> 00:41:32,697
Guirlaine: Yes.
Andrew: It's over.
716
00:41:32,815 --> 00:41:34,782
(guirlaine speaking)
717
00:41:36,819 --> 00:41:37,977
Thank you!
718
00:41:38,038 --> 00:41:40,038
You don't know
what you have done for me.
719
00:41:40,156 --> 00:41:41,206
You don't know.
720
00:41:41,324 --> 00:41:44,375
Thank you. Thank you guys,
thank you.
721
00:41:44,494 --> 00:41:46,728
I'm grateful that,
like, you guys
722
00:41:46,755 --> 00:41:48,588
Have allowed me to be able to,
723
00:41:48,706 --> 00:41:51,624
-Um, tell my side of the story.
-Of course.
724
00:41:51,742 --> 00:41:55,194
And here's the news
that you've been waiting for.
725
00:41:55,196 --> 00:41:57,430
We're gonna get that bracelet
off your leg.
726
00:41:57,549 --> 00:42:02,093
Thank you. (laughing)
about time.
727
00:42:02,211 --> 00:42:03,553
It makes me feel great.
728
00:42:03,671 --> 00:42:06,697
And I actually wanna go
and see my son.
729
00:42:06,816 --> 00:42:08,474
(guy laughs)
730
00:42:08,593 --> 00:42:09,584
Andrew: Whoo-hoo!
731
00:42:09,611 --> 00:42:11,402
Thank you. Thank you so much.
732
00:42:16,693 --> 00:42:18,642
(hopeful music playing)
733
00:42:18,762 --> 00:42:22,580
I look back at it
and it's just, uh...
734
00:42:22,699 --> 00:42:23,873
It's just a nightmare.
735
00:42:25,794 --> 00:42:29,604
It's unfortunate that
all of this happened,
736
00:42:29,631 --> 00:42:31,756
And someone
had to lose their life.
737
00:42:31,874 --> 00:42:33,758
Um... But ultimately,
738
00:42:33,876 --> 00:42:35,260
I also look at it like
I would have been
739
00:42:35,378 --> 00:42:37,929
The one to have lost my life
had I not, you know,
740
00:42:38,047 --> 00:42:40,682
Taken the measures
that I took that night.
741
00:42:41,884 --> 00:42:43,810
I'm glad that it's all over.
