1
00:00:09,114 --> 00:00:11,681
[somber music playing]
2
00:00:52,940 --> 00:00:54,550
[music fades]
3
00:01:01,427 --> 00:01:03,646
Okay. You ready?
4
00:01:16,703 --> 00:01:18,313
- It's beautiful.
- [both chuckle]
5
00:01:18,487 --> 00:01:20,446
- Where'd you find this?
- [chuckles] It's cute, right?
6
00:01:20,620 --> 00:01:23,449
[chuckles] Aw, I love this!
7
00:01:23,623 --> 00:01:24,972
- So cute.
- [both chuckle]
8
00:01:26,626 --> 00:01:28,280
It's perfect! [chuckles]
9
00:01:32,414 --> 00:01:34,503
[chuckles softly]
10
00:01:34,677 --> 00:01:37,245
It would've been,
you know, a lot for me.
11
00:01:37,419 --> 00:01:39,204
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
12
00:01:41,554 --> 00:01:42,511
It's perfect.
13
00:01:43,425 --> 00:01:44,339
You're perfect.
14
00:01:47,386 --> 00:01:48,778
- Thank you.
- Of course.
15
00:01:50,606 --> 00:01:52,608
[laughter nearby]
16
00:01:52,782 --> 00:01:54,523
Are they here already?
17
00:01:54,697 --> 00:01:56,090
They're like 30 minutes early.
18
00:01:56,264 --> 00:01:57,657
- Why are they-- What?
- Hey.
19
00:01:57,831 --> 00:01:58,614
It's okay.
20
00:02:03,053 --> 00:02:04,664
- [chuckles]
- I love it.
21
00:02:05,317 --> 00:02:06,579
Yeah?
22
00:02:06,753 --> 00:02:08,320
I'll be honest.
Ally and I, you know,
23
00:02:08,494 --> 00:02:10,757
we weren't sure about
whether to have this party,
24
00:02:10,931 --> 00:02:13,281
but together there's nothing
we can't overcome.
25
00:02:13,455 --> 00:02:14,978
You're the strongest
woman I know.
26
00:02:15,152 --> 00:02:16,937
I love you more than anything.
27
00:02:17,111 --> 00:02:18,417
And I'm so damn excited
28
00:02:18,591 --> 00:02:19,983
to keep building
our lives together.
29
00:02:20,157 --> 00:02:22,072
- Me too. I love you.
- Love you.
30
00:02:22,247 --> 00:02:24,466
[all] Aw.
31
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,207
Why don't you ever say
anything like that about me?
32
00:02:26,381 --> 00:02:28,514
Thank you all for being here.
Thank you.
33
00:02:31,734 --> 00:02:32,648
Vitamins are on the table.
34
00:02:32,822 --> 00:02:34,302
Oh. Thank you, baby.
35
00:02:36,086 --> 00:02:37,784
[sighs]
36
00:02:37,958 --> 00:02:39,612
- It was a nice party.
- Yeah.
37
00:02:39,786 --> 00:02:40,700
Think everyone had a good time.
38
00:02:40,874 --> 00:02:42,571
Yeah. You deserve it.
39
00:02:44,312 --> 00:02:47,184
You're just buttering me up
before you abandon me.
40
00:02:47,359 --> 00:02:49,622
I wish I could delay it again.
41
00:02:49,796 --> 00:02:51,188
- I know.
- I don't want to
leave you here.
42
00:02:51,363 --> 00:02:52,886
You just go to the judge
43
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:54,757
and tell him something
wildly inappropriate
44
00:02:54,931 --> 00:02:56,368
and then come back to me.
45
00:02:56,542 --> 00:02:58,195
- I will.
- Oh, you will?
46
00:02:58,370 --> 00:02:59,675
- Mmm-hmm. Yeah. I got some--
- Oh, you will? Like what?
47
00:02:59,849 --> 00:03:01,460
- I'll say... [chuckles]
- What?
48
00:03:01,634 --> 00:03:03,288
I'll say we're having
a big old orgy tomorrow night
49
00:03:03,462 --> 00:03:04,419
and they're all invited.
50
00:03:04,593 --> 00:03:05,812
- [laughs]
- Ow!
51
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:07,117
Ooh. No, no, no.
Be careful. Careful.
52
00:03:07,292 --> 00:03:08,815
All right.
That got me too excited.
53
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:10,295
[both laugh]
54
00:03:11,208 --> 00:03:12,253
All right.
55
00:03:13,776 --> 00:03:14,864
Hey.
56
00:03:15,038 --> 00:03:16,213
- Sorry. Sorry, sorry.
- Hey.
57
00:03:25,962 --> 00:03:28,878
[man on radio]
Just a reminder to send in
those mail-in ballots soon.
58
00:03:29,052 --> 00:03:31,185
We're only two weeks out
from election date, folks,
59
00:03:31,359 --> 00:03:32,969
and every ballot matters.
60
00:03:33,143 --> 00:03:34,710
So be sure to get yours in
before it's too late.
61
00:03:34,884 --> 00:03:35,972
[turns off radio]
62
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:41,108
[woman on phone]
Faith, come on.
63
00:03:41,282 --> 00:03:42,805
Polling has you
at a 46-point deadlock,
64
00:03:42,979 --> 00:03:44,981
with 8% of voters
still undecided.
65
00:03:45,155 --> 00:03:47,027
We need to push your plan
to reduce the crime rate
66
00:03:47,201 --> 00:03:48,158
in order to pull ahead.
67
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:49,812
But this case is my campaign.
68
00:03:49,986 --> 00:03:51,161
He's a dangerous criminal
69
00:03:51,336 --> 00:03:52,728
with a long history
of violence.
70
00:03:52,902 --> 00:03:54,600
I put James Sythe away, we win.
71
00:03:54,774 --> 00:03:56,036
[sighs] If you lose, you lose
your shot at being DA.
72
00:03:56,210 --> 00:03:57,429
- All right. I got to go.
- Faith--
73
00:03:58,168 --> 00:03:59,387
[sighs]
74
00:04:08,353 --> 00:04:09,919
- Oh. There she is.
- [cameras clicking]
75
00:04:12,357 --> 00:04:13,836
Hey. Excuse me!
76
00:04:14,010 --> 00:04:15,229
You, uh...
77
00:04:15,403 --> 00:04:16,361
You dropped this.
78
00:04:17,057 --> 00:04:18,493
Oh. I did.
79
00:04:18,667 --> 00:04:20,016
Oh, my God. Thank you.
You're a lifesaver.
80
00:04:20,190 --> 00:04:21,366
- No worries. Have a good day.
- [chuckles]
81
00:04:21,540 --> 00:04:22,715
Yeah. You too.
82
00:04:26,458 --> 00:04:28,329
- Through that door.
- [woman] Oh, thank you.
83
00:04:29,939 --> 00:04:31,593
Where do I go
for, uh, jury duty?
84
00:04:31,767 --> 00:04:32,725
Go down there.
85
00:04:35,075 --> 00:04:36,076
Thanks.
86
00:04:51,221 --> 00:04:53,572
[bailiff] All right, guys.
Eyes up.
87
00:04:53,746 --> 00:04:54,790
Pay attention.
88
00:04:56,618 --> 00:04:58,403
[narrator on TV] Hello.
I'd like to welcome you
89
00:04:58,577 --> 00:05:00,970
as a juror in the Georgia
court system.
90
00:05:01,144 --> 00:05:04,060
As a juror, you protect
the right of every person
91
00:05:04,234 --> 00:05:05,671
to a trial by jury.
92
00:05:05,845 --> 00:05:07,368
The right to a trial by jury
93
00:05:07,542 --> 00:05:10,023
is a cornerstone
of our democracy.
94
00:05:10,197 --> 00:05:11,590
That right is protected
95
00:05:11,764 --> 00:05:13,548
by the United States
constitution.
96
00:05:16,203 --> 00:05:17,204
- [man] There she is.
- [sighs]
97
00:05:17,378 --> 00:05:18,771
Sugar-free vanilla with skim.
98
00:05:18,945 --> 00:05:20,468
[Faith] Ah. You're good.
99
00:05:20,642 --> 00:05:21,469
- Can I get you something else?
- [Faith] Mmm-mmm.
100
00:05:21,643 --> 00:05:22,905
You got something for me?
101
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:24,907
[sighs] Okay.
Voluntary manslaughter
102
00:05:25,081 --> 00:05:26,605
with a recommendation
of 20 years.
103
00:05:26,779 --> 00:05:28,215
Fifteen to serve,
followed by five on probation.
104
00:05:28,389 --> 00:05:29,738
Wow. That's a hell of a deal.
105
00:05:29,912 --> 00:05:31,740
I will even waive
the recidivist statute
106
00:05:31,914 --> 00:05:33,307
if he pleads before
we strike the jury.
107
00:05:33,481 --> 00:05:34,917
And admit to something
he didn't do?
108
00:05:35,091 --> 00:05:37,746
[chuckles] Save it
for the jury.
109
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,401
Better yet, why don't you
plead your guy out
110
00:05:40,575 --> 00:05:42,882
and say, free
for your caseload.
111
00:05:43,056 --> 00:05:44,013
Look... [sighs]
112
00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:47,060
my client wants a trial.
113
00:05:47,234 --> 00:05:50,280
Well, then, you're wasting
my time and your client's.
114
00:05:50,455 --> 00:05:51,456
Last chance.
115
00:05:53,458 --> 00:05:54,502
After you.
116
00:06:02,292 --> 00:06:06,340
The case you're about to hear
is an alleged homicide.
117
00:06:06,514 --> 00:06:08,995
The state is charging
James Michael Sythe
118
00:06:09,169 --> 00:06:10,518
with malice murder
119
00:06:10,692 --> 00:06:13,695
for the death
of Kendall Alice Carter.
120
00:06:13,869 --> 00:06:16,481
Now, if any of you have
a personal relationship
121
00:06:16,655 --> 00:06:18,657
with the accused,
and/or the deceased
122
00:06:18,831 --> 00:06:21,094
that will prohibit you
from serving on this panel
123
00:06:21,268 --> 00:06:23,052
in an unbiased manner,
124
00:06:23,226 --> 00:06:24,445
please speak now.
125
00:06:32,888 --> 00:06:33,802
Yes.
126
00:06:35,935 --> 00:06:37,110
[exhales]
127
00:06:37,284 --> 00:06:38,503
He used to ride my bus.
128
00:06:40,156 --> 00:06:41,288
And when was this?
129
00:06:42,724 --> 00:06:45,466
[sighs] I don't know.
Few years ago.
130
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,078
Okay. Then there's no reason
we can't leave it there.
131
00:06:49,252 --> 00:06:51,559
I think you'll make
a fine juror.
132
00:06:51,733 --> 00:06:53,779
Does anyone else think
133
00:06:53,953 --> 00:06:57,130
that they're incapable
of serving on this panel?
134
00:06:58,392 --> 00:06:59,480
Yes.
135
00:07:01,308 --> 00:07:02,831
Uh...
136
00:07:03,005 --> 00:07:04,441
Your Honor, my wife
is in the third trimester
137
00:07:04,616 --> 00:07:06,269
of a high-risk pregnancy.
138
00:07:06,443 --> 00:07:08,707
I'd like to be
available to her.
139
00:07:08,881 --> 00:07:10,404
Well, that's commendable.
140
00:07:10,578 --> 00:07:12,493
What hours
do you normally work?
141
00:07:13,581 --> 00:07:15,496
Uh, 9:00 to 6:00, typically.
142
00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:17,280
Then you have my word
that this court
143
00:07:17,454 --> 00:07:21,023
will not demand one minute more
of your time than that.
144
00:07:22,764 --> 00:07:23,591
Yeah.
145
00:07:25,332 --> 00:07:27,203
See, the fact that
you don't want to be here
146
00:07:27,377 --> 00:07:28,857
is exactly what makes you
147
00:07:29,031 --> 00:07:31,991
the perfect group
to judicate this case.
148
00:07:33,383 --> 00:07:35,037
You are impartial.
149
00:07:35,211 --> 00:07:38,214
You have no skin in the game.
Nothing to gain or lose.
150
00:07:38,388 --> 00:07:40,782
And that is why I believe
that this process,
151
00:07:40,956 --> 00:07:43,742
as flawed as it may be,
152
00:07:43,916 --> 00:07:46,571
is still our best chance
at finding justice.
153
00:07:49,443 --> 00:07:51,750
Do you work, Mrs. Aldworth?
154
00:07:51,924 --> 00:07:53,665
Well, I had the toughest
job there is.
155
00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:55,797
I raised two kids
and just sent them off
to college.
156
00:07:55,971 --> 00:07:57,625
- Ah. Congratulations.
- Thank you.
157
00:07:57,799 --> 00:08:00,367
And have you ever served
on a jury before?
158
00:08:00,541 --> 00:08:02,804
Twice. Both were mistrials.
159
00:08:02,978 --> 00:08:04,850
Twice. Okay. Okay.
160
00:08:05,024 --> 00:08:08,767
Mr. King. Have you ever had
a physical altercation
161
00:08:08,941 --> 00:08:10,812
with a significant other?
162
00:08:10,986 --> 00:08:13,554
Are you gonna ask that question
to every guy in this courtroom?
163
00:08:15,512 --> 00:08:17,036
If I have to, I will. I...
164
00:08:17,210 --> 00:08:20,082
I know these questions
can be very personal--
165
00:08:20,256 --> 00:08:21,214
Nah, man.
166
00:08:22,084 --> 00:08:23,042
That ain't me.
167
00:08:26,132 --> 00:08:27,307
Thank you, sir.
168
00:08:29,483 --> 00:08:31,703
[Faith] How long have you lived
in the area, Mr. Chicowski?
169
00:08:31,877 --> 00:08:33,356
About ten years.
170
00:08:33,530 --> 00:08:34,836
And you, uh...
171
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:36,142
Oh, you run a flower shop?
172
00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:38,318
Yeah. With my wife.
173
00:08:38,492 --> 00:08:40,407
Mr. Robinson, it says here
your wife has
174
00:08:40,581 --> 00:08:42,757
primary custody
of your daughter.
175
00:08:42,931 --> 00:08:43,889
Is that correct?
176
00:08:47,196 --> 00:08:48,937
Yeah.
177
00:08:49,111 --> 00:08:51,157
Do you mind if I ask you
who ended the marriage?
178
00:08:53,115 --> 00:08:53,986
She did.
179
00:08:55,422 --> 00:08:57,119
Thank you. All you.
180
00:08:57,293 --> 00:08:58,904
Mr. Kemp.
181
00:09:00,557 --> 00:09:01,733
And you're a magazine writer?
182
00:09:01,907 --> 00:09:03,169
[Justin] Uh, that's right.
183
00:09:03,343 --> 00:09:04,518
What kind of articles
do you write?
184
00:09:04,692 --> 00:09:06,128
Features, mostly.
185
00:09:06,302 --> 00:09:07,739
So you write
about a variety of topics?
186
00:09:07,913 --> 00:09:09,131
Yes.
187
00:09:09,305 --> 00:09:11,960
Ever written
about a murder trial?
188
00:09:12,134 --> 00:09:15,311
Uh, well, I write for
a regional lifestyle magazine
189
00:09:15,485 --> 00:09:17,313
so it's not exactly
Vanity Fair.
190
00:09:17,487 --> 00:09:18,967
[jurors chuckling]
191
00:09:19,141 --> 00:09:20,665
Take that as a no.
192
00:09:20,839 --> 00:09:22,928
Being a writer,
I imagine you read a lot.
193
00:09:23,102 --> 00:09:25,060
You've read anything
about this case?
194
00:09:25,234 --> 00:09:27,193
No. No. Today's the first
I've heard about it.
195
00:09:28,324 --> 00:09:29,891
Well, then, I think you'll make
196
00:09:30,065 --> 00:09:33,025
a perfectly acceptable
member of this jury.
197
00:09:33,199 --> 00:09:35,810
All right. Does the defense
accept or challenge?
198
00:09:37,333 --> 00:09:40,119
We accept him, Your Honor.
199
00:09:40,293 --> 00:09:44,689
Good. Please enter Justin Kemp
as juror number two.
200
00:09:47,517 --> 00:09:48,867
- [Justin] Hey.
- [Ally] Hi!
201
00:09:49,041 --> 00:09:50,651
- [Justin] Hi.
- [Ally] How did it go?
202
00:09:50,825 --> 00:09:52,044
- [sighs]
- [Ally] No.
203
00:09:52,218 --> 00:09:53,698
- I got picked.
- No.
204
00:09:53,872 --> 00:09:55,134
- Mmm.
- I'm so sorry.
205
00:09:55,308 --> 00:09:56,701
I know.
206
00:09:56,875 --> 00:09:57,963
What happened
to "wildly inappropriate"?
207
00:09:58,137 --> 00:09:58,964
Ah. Well,
I'm saving that for you.
208
00:09:59,138 --> 00:10:00,966
Oh, yeah?
209
00:10:01,140 --> 00:10:03,316
They said
it'll be a short trial.
210
00:10:03,490 --> 00:10:04,621
I feel like
they always say that,
211
00:10:04,796 --> 00:10:06,232
- but I hope so.
- I know.
212
00:10:07,059 --> 00:10:08,234
How was your day?
213
00:10:08,408 --> 00:10:10,627
It was okay.
I did this. [laughs]
214
00:10:10,802 --> 00:10:12,717
Yeah? It's good progress.
Looks good.
215
00:10:12,891 --> 00:10:14,675
- [laughs] Thank you.
- All day?
216
00:10:14,849 --> 00:10:16,155
No, this did not
take me all day.
217
00:10:16,329 --> 00:10:18,070
- Yeah.
- I watched a documentary...
218
00:10:18,244 --> 00:10:21,508
- Mmm-hmm. What about?
- ...and I peed 94 times.
219
00:10:21,682 --> 00:10:24,119
- Ninety-four? Okay.
- And I ate some ice.
220
00:10:24,293 --> 00:10:25,381
- Ooh.
- Can I have some more?
221
00:10:25,555 --> 00:10:26,513
- You need some more? Ice?
- Yeah.
222
00:10:26,687 --> 00:10:27,993
Ice. Coming up. All right.
223
00:10:31,126 --> 00:10:32,693
[exhales]
224
00:10:41,571 --> 00:10:44,618
The people need to know
how I'll make this city safer.
225
00:10:44,792 --> 00:10:46,620
And women need to know that,
226
00:10:46,794 --> 00:10:48,404
if they're in
an abusive relationship,
227
00:10:48,578 --> 00:10:49,928
their community has their back.
228
00:10:50,102 --> 00:10:52,191
The rest? The rest is noise.
229
00:10:52,365 --> 00:10:53,540
So, thank you.
230
00:10:56,891 --> 00:10:59,285
Thank you, guys.
Thank you for coming.
231
00:11:00,503 --> 00:11:01,722
Thank you. Thank you so much.
232
00:11:01,896 --> 00:11:04,333
Thank you. Hey!
Thank you so much.
233
00:11:04,507 --> 00:11:05,813
Thank you.
I really appreciate it.
234
00:11:05,987 --> 00:11:07,293
Thank you so much. Yeah.
235
00:11:08,947 --> 00:11:10,252
[man] Hey. Good job.
236
00:11:14,517 --> 00:11:16,737
- [sighs] Hey.
- Hey.
237
00:11:17,564 --> 00:11:18,521
Nice speech.
238
00:11:18,695 --> 00:11:20,175
[chuckles]
239
00:11:22,308 --> 00:11:23,483
Thanks.
240

"Justice is truth in action"?
241
00:11:25,790 --> 00:11:27,835
Mmm-hmm. Professor Nielsen.
242
00:11:28,009 --> 00:11:29,968
Yeah. No. Yeah, I remember.
243
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:32,579
You still believe it?
244
00:11:34,537 --> 00:11:35,712
Of course.
245
00:11:37,149 --> 00:11:38,541
All right.
As long as it doesn't
246
00:11:38,715 --> 00:11:40,630
get in the way of a win,
though, right?
247
00:11:40,805 --> 00:11:43,068
Oh, my God.
If you got something to say,
Eric, just say it.
248
00:11:43,242 --> 00:11:45,897
Mmm. I'm saying, he...
249
00:11:46,071 --> 00:11:48,203
You know, he loves you.
You were his favorite student.
250
00:11:48,813 --> 00:11:49,770
[scoffs]
251
00:11:49,944 --> 00:11:51,337
Are you really going there?
252
00:11:51,511 --> 00:11:53,774
- Yeah, I'm going there.
- Oh, my God!
253
00:11:53,948 --> 00:11:55,428
And now you're a...
254
00:11:57,386 --> 00:11:58,344
What?
255
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,433
I'm a what?
256
00:12:00,607 --> 00:12:02,087
A politician. [sighs]
257
00:12:06,439 --> 00:12:07,657
[Judge Thelma] Good morning.
258
00:12:07,832 --> 00:12:09,485
We will begin
with opening statements.
259
00:12:09,659 --> 00:12:10,878
Ms. Killebrew.
260
00:12:13,707 --> 00:12:16,536
Okay. The facts
of the case are these.
261
00:12:16,710 --> 00:12:20,061
One year ago, on October 25th,
the defendant, James Sythe,
262
00:12:20,235 --> 00:12:22,629
and his then-girlfriend,
Kendall Carter,
263
00:12:22,803 --> 00:12:24,239
went drinking
at Rowdy's Hideaway
264
00:12:24,413 --> 00:12:25,458
on Old Quarry Road.
265
00:12:29,070 --> 00:12:31,029
[country rock music
playing on speakers]
266
00:12:34,162 --> 00:12:35,947
Come on. I walked all the way
up there and got it.
267
00:12:36,121 --> 00:12:37,818
- Take the drink.
- I'm already drunk, babe.
268
00:12:39,254 --> 00:12:40,255
[chuckles]
269
00:12:46,696 --> 00:12:48,133
[inaudible conversation]
270
00:12:54,226 --> 00:12:55,967
Things got tense.
271
00:12:56,141 --> 00:12:57,403
They had a fight.
272
00:12:57,577 --> 00:12:58,578
[Kendall] Not fair
what you're doing.
273
00:12:58,752 --> 00:13:00,101
[James] Hey, leave it alone.
274
00:13:00,275 --> 00:13:02,016
[Kendall] What the hell
is wrong with you?
275
00:13:02,190 --> 00:13:03,148
[James] I've already told you.
We're not moving in together.
276
00:13:03,322 --> 00:13:04,627
[Kendall] I'm not...
277
00:13:04,801 --> 00:13:06,194
- What is wrong with it?
- Stop pushing me.
278
00:13:06,368 --> 00:13:07,456
- I told you, stop...
- I'm not pushing you.
279
00:13:07,630 --> 00:13:08,240
- [gasps]
- I said stop pushing!
280
00:13:08,414 --> 00:13:09,676
[scoffs]
281
00:13:13,419 --> 00:13:14,986
Jesus Christ.
282
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,726
[Faith] She stormed
out of the bar
283
00:13:16,901 --> 00:13:18,293
and he followed her.
284
00:13:20,861 --> 00:13:22,167
The fight escalated,
285
00:13:22,341 --> 00:13:24,256
and things quickly
got out of control.
286
00:13:25,997 --> 00:13:27,650
Hey.
287
00:13:27,824 --> 00:13:29,130
What the hell are you doing?
288
00:13:29,304 --> 00:13:31,002
- What are you doing?
- Get away from me.
289
00:13:31,176 --> 00:13:32,394
Don't touch me.
290
00:13:32,568 --> 00:13:34,222
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?
291
00:13:41,012 --> 00:13:43,014
[Eric] It was par
for the course.
292
00:13:43,188 --> 00:13:44,885
They'd argue. They'd break up.
293
00:13:45,059 --> 00:13:46,495
And they'd make up the next day
294
00:13:46,669 --> 00:13:48,019
after they both
had calmed down.
295
00:13:48,193 --> 00:13:51,239
It was basically a game.
296
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:54,373
[Faith] Now, this couple
had a history of violent
interactions,
297
00:13:54,547 --> 00:13:57,463
but this time she was serious.
298
00:13:57,637 --> 00:13:59,073
She was done with him.
299
00:13:59,247 --> 00:14:02,685
So she left and headed
down the road, on foot.
300
00:14:07,386 --> 00:14:09,692
[tense music playing]
301
00:14:16,221 --> 00:14:19,702
[Eric] So this was just
another typical night of drama.
302
00:14:19,876 --> 00:14:23,271
So James Sythe got in his car
and he drove home.
303
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,015
He flew into a violent rage
304
00:14:28,189 --> 00:14:31,192
and followed Kendall Carter
down the road...
305
00:14:32,802 --> 00:14:34,717
where he proceeded to kill her.
306
00:14:40,462 --> 00:14:42,029
[cell phone chimes]
307
00:14:43,117 --> 00:14:44,249
- [thuds]
- [grunts]
308
00:14:44,423 --> 00:14:46,903
- [gasping]
- [tires screeching]

00:14:49,689 --> 00:14:50,995
[breathing heavily]
310
00:14:54,955 --> 00:14:57,610
[Faith] He beat her viciously.
311
00:14:57,784 --> 00:15:00,308
He pushed her over a railing
to the creek below...
312
00:15:01,918 --> 00:15:03,224
and left her to die.
313
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,400
[jurors exclaim]
314
00:15:42,046 --> 00:15:43,960
[panting]
315
00:15:50,837 --> 00:15:52,708
James Sythe didn't attack her
316
00:15:52,882 --> 00:15:54,536
and he couldn't have pushed her
317
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:56,930
because he wasn't there.
318
00:16:00,064 --> 00:16:02,414
[somber music playing]
319
00:16:02,588 --> 00:16:04,242
James Sythe...
320
00:16:05,808 --> 00:16:06,809
[sighs]
321
00:16:06,983 --> 00:16:08,115
took an innocent life.
322
00:16:09,638 --> 00:16:11,249
James Sythe...
323
00:16:11,423 --> 00:16:12,598
is an innocent man.
324
00:16:16,689 --> 00:16:17,864
Thank you.
325
00:16:24,871 --> 00:16:27,091
[retching]
326
00:16:30,398 --> 00:16:31,443

[sighing]
328
00:16:43,455 --> 00:16:45,326
Damn, man.
329
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,111
- You... You all right?
- Mmm-hmm.
330
00:16:48,547 --> 00:16:50,766
Yeah. Just those
crime scene pictures.
331
00:16:51,811 --> 00:16:53,117
Never had a strong stomach.
332
00:16:54,074 --> 00:16:55,728
Yeah.
333
00:16:55,902 --> 00:16:57,425
All right.
Well, you have a good night.
334
00:16:58,078 --> 00:16:59,079
You, too.
335
00:17:13,398 --> 00:17:14,790
[all] God grant me the serenity
336
00:17:14,964 --> 00:17:17,532
to accept the things
that I cannot change,
337
00:17:17,706 --> 00:17:20,318
the courage to change
the things that I can,
338
00:17:20,492 --> 00:17:22,885
and the wisdom
to know the difference.
339
00:17:24,278 --> 00:17:25,366
Great work, everybody.
340
00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:26,889
Keep coming back.
341
00:17:27,063 --> 00:17:28,935
[all] It works if you work it.
342
00:17:29,109 --> 00:17:30,284
Great job, everybody.
343
00:17:31,503 --> 00:17:32,460
[man] Right on, bro!
344
00:17:35,333 --> 00:17:36,638
Hey, Justin.
345
00:17:36,812 --> 00:17:37,857
Hey!
346
00:17:38,031 --> 00:17:39,250
You were quiet tonight.
347
00:17:39,424 --> 00:17:41,513
Yeah. I've got
a lot on my mind.
348
00:17:41,687 --> 00:17:43,167
Yeah, I can tell. [chuckles]
349
00:17:43,341 --> 00:17:45,952
You want to talk about it?
350
00:17:46,126 --> 00:17:49,173
Okay, look, whatever it is,
my advice is the same.
351
00:17:49,347 --> 00:17:51,218
You know what to do.
352
00:17:51,392 --> 00:17:53,046
We're only as sick
as our secrets.
353
00:17:54,047 --> 00:17:55,091
Yeah.
354
00:17:55,266 --> 00:17:56,354
Okay, I'm always here for you.
355
00:18:10,716 --> 00:18:12,239
[tense music playing]

00:18:46,230 --> 00:18:47,231
[keyboard clacks]
358
00:18:47,405 --> 00:18:48,797
Be out of your way in a minute.
359
00:18:48,971 --> 00:18:50,059
Nah, take as long as you want,
I'll come back.
360
00:19:16,129 --> 00:19:17,913
- Hey.
- Hey.
361
00:19:18,087 --> 00:19:20,438
- Sorry I'm late.
- That's okay.
362
00:19:20,612 --> 00:19:21,656
How was the meeting?
363
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:23,223
It was good.
364
00:19:23,397 --> 00:19:25,181
I stayed after
to talk with Larry for a bit.
365
00:19:25,356 --> 00:19:26,574
[breathing heavily]
366
00:19:26,748 --> 00:19:28,141
You okay? Your heart.
367
00:19:28,315 --> 00:19:30,448
- Hmm?
- Are you okay?
368
00:19:31,884 --> 00:19:32,841
Yeah, I'm good.
369
00:19:34,190 --> 00:19:35,757
Everything's going to be fine.
370
00:19:37,498 --> 00:19:39,195
We're going
to be a family soon.
371
00:19:39,370 --> 00:19:40,893
[Justin] Hmm.
372
00:19:41,067 --> 00:19:43,156
Very soon, I hope. [chuckles]
373
00:19:43,939 --> 00:19:46,377
[sighing]
374
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:55,473
- [tires screeching]
- [gasping]
375
00:19:55,647 --> 00:19:56,648
[breathing heavily]
376
00:19:56,822 --> 00:19:57,736
What the...
377
00:20:11,271 --> 00:20:13,578
I'd seen them in there before.
A couple times.
378
00:20:13,752 --> 00:20:16,232
Um, it was always
the same thing.
379
00:20:16,407 --> 00:20:19,323
They would start off
fun and flirty, and then,
380
00:20:19,497 --> 00:20:21,847
after a few drinks,
things would change.
381
00:20:22,021 --> 00:20:23,588
Change, how?
382
00:20:23,762 --> 00:20:25,938
That night, she came in,
383
00:20:26,112 --> 00:20:29,985
trying to talk to him,
like, seriously, you know?
384
00:20:30,159 --> 00:20:32,988
But he wasn't having it.
385
00:20:33,162 --> 00:20:34,338
[Kendall]
What's wrong with you?
386
00:20:34,512 --> 00:20:35,817
What, do you want me
to disagree?
387
00:20:35,991 --> 00:20:37,428
No. I want you to say,
"I love you, too."
388
00:20:38,342 --> 00:20:39,604
I basically did.
389
00:20:39,778 --> 00:20:40,779
I want you to say,
"I love you, too."
390
00:20:40,953 --> 00:20:42,215
Read between the goddamn lines,
391
00:20:42,389 --> 00:20:43,999
I said, "Yeah."
392
00:20:44,173 --> 00:20:45,566
- [Kendall] What lines?
- [James] I'm sick of this shit.
393
00:20:45,740 --> 00:20:46,872
[Kendall] What lines
are you talking about?
394
00:20:47,046 --> 00:20:47,655
[James] Hey,
get out of my face!
395
00:20:47,829 --> 00:20:49,178
[Kendall gasps]
396
00:20:49,353 --> 00:20:52,747
[woman] He got mad.
Like, scary.
397
00:20:52,921 --> 00:20:54,314
She leaves.
398
00:20:56,577 --> 00:20:59,667
He follows her outside.
So I started following.
399
00:20:59,841 --> 00:21:00,799
Hey!
400
00:21:01,930 --> 00:21:03,279
What the hell are you doing?
401
00:21:03,454 --> 00:21:04,716
What are you doing?
402
00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:05,847
I want to go home.
403
00:21:07,980 --> 00:21:09,895
- I don't want
to do this anymore.
- [James] Do what?
404
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:12,027
[Kendall] I'm done.
You're embarrassing!
405
00:21:12,201 --> 00:21:13,333
What are you talking about?
406
00:21:13,507 --> 00:21:14,639
Who cares
what these idiots think?
407
00:21:16,989 --> 00:21:18,817
What are you going to do?
Hit me?
408
00:21:18,991 --> 00:21:20,253
- Relax. I'm sorry.
- Don't touch me.
409
00:21:20,427 --> 00:21:21,602
- It was...
- What are you going to do?
410
00:21:21,776 --> 00:21:23,561
- How dare you?
- Are you kidding me?
411
00:21:23,735 --> 00:21:24,692
Bring it on!
412
00:21:27,129 --> 00:21:28,914
You better get the fuck
out of here right now.
413
00:21:30,263 --> 00:21:31,873
[crowd murmuring]
414
00:21:32,047 --> 00:21:35,616
Fine, walk home, in the rain,
you stupid bitch!
415
00:21:39,054 --> 00:21:41,274
- And, Kendall, we ain't over!
- I'm done, James.
416
00:21:43,102 --> 00:21:45,234
[crowd murmuring]
417
00:21:50,501 --> 00:21:52,328
So she left,
418
00:21:52,503 --> 00:21:53,982
then what happened?
419
00:21:54,156 --> 00:21:56,071
He followed her
out of the parking lot
420
00:21:56,245 --> 00:21:58,204
and onto Old Quarry Road.
421
00:21:58,378 --> 00:22:01,033
Thank you. No further
questions, Your Honor.
422
00:22:02,774 --> 00:22:05,298
So you saw him walk down
Old Quarry Road?
423
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:07,605
Yes.
424
00:22:07,779 --> 00:22:09,084
Did you know
that his car was parked
425
00:22:09,258 --> 00:22:10,259
down on Old Quarry Road?
426
00:22:11,652 --> 00:22:12,653
No.
427
00:22:13,698 --> 00:22:15,264
No.
428
00:22:15,439 --> 00:22:16,918
Were you drinking that night?
429
00:22:17,092 --> 00:22:18,267
Objection, Your Honor.
430
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,531
Overruled.
431
00:22:20,705 --> 00:22:22,184
Were you drinking that night?
432
00:22:23,229 --> 00:22:24,578
Yes.
433
00:22:24,752 --> 00:22:27,407
So you don't know
how far he followed her
434
00:22:27,581 --> 00:22:30,932
down Old Quarry Road, do you?
435
00:22:31,106 --> 00:22:32,673
No. Um, at that point,
436
00:22:32,847 --> 00:22:35,067
I had stopped filming
and I went back inside.
437
00:22:36,416 --> 00:22:38,505
No more questions.
438
00:22:38,679 --> 00:22:41,073
[Judge Thelma] Does the State
have any more questions?
439
00:22:41,247 --> 00:22:42,640
No more questions, Your Honor.
440
00:22:46,992 --> 00:22:49,255
[Judge Thelma] Thank you.
You may step down.
441
00:22:49,429 --> 00:22:51,823
I was at the bar till close.
442
00:22:51,997 --> 00:22:54,652
I didn't see either one of them
come back in.
443
00:22:54,826 --> 00:22:56,044
And then the next day,
I opened,
444
00:22:56,218 --> 00:22:57,568
and I did what I always do.
445
00:22:57,742 --> 00:23:00,048
I took the night's trash
out to the dumpster.
446
00:23:03,661 --> 00:23:06,620
Miss! Miss!
I'm sorry. I need your help.
447
00:23:06,794 --> 00:23:09,667
Because of the rain
the night before...
448
00:23:09,841 --> 00:23:11,973
the trails were
all muddy and wet.
449
00:23:15,281 --> 00:23:17,109
So I had to cut up
to Old Quarry by the bridge
450
00:23:17,283 --> 00:23:18,850
in order to get back
to the road.
451
00:23:20,112 --> 00:23:21,722
[tense music playing]
452
00:23:23,158 --> 00:23:24,986
[breathing heavily]
453
00:23:37,042 --> 00:23:38,304
Right. And just to be clear,
454
00:23:38,478 --> 00:23:40,306
when you found Kendall Carter,
455
00:23:41,133 --> 00:23:42,351
she was dead?
456
00:23:44,702 --> 00:23:47,400
Her head was
in a pool of blood.
457
00:23:48,619 --> 00:23:49,707
It was awful.
458
00:23:52,971 --> 00:23:54,407
Thank you for your testimony,
Mr. Reed.
459
00:23:54,581 --> 00:23:55,713
I know it isn't easy.
460
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:58,237
That's all I have.
461
00:24:00,544 --> 00:24:02,241
Mr. Resnick, your witness.
462
00:24:03,547 --> 00:24:05,331
Mr. Reed,
463
00:24:05,505 --> 00:24:08,160
you hike those trails
in the woods frequently,
don't you?
464
00:24:09,422 --> 00:24:10,466
Yes, sir.
465
00:24:10,641 --> 00:24:12,338
Twice a week at least.
466
00:24:12,512 --> 00:24:14,993
In your opinion, is the hike
down the hillside difficult?
467
00:24:15,776 --> 00:24:17,517
Yes.
468
00:24:17,691 --> 00:24:19,475
I assume you wear hiking boots
469
00:24:19,650 --> 00:24:21,173
when you hike, Mr. Reed?
Is that correct?
470
00:24:23,175 --> 00:24:24,480
Of course.
471
00:24:24,655 --> 00:24:27,701
This is a picture
of Kendall Carter
472
00:24:27,875 --> 00:24:31,531
the morning you found her
below Old Quarry Road.
473
00:24:31,705 --> 00:24:34,055
Can you please tell us
what kind of shoes
she's wearing?
474
00:24:37,232 --> 00:24:38,277
Looks like heels.
475
00:24:40,192 --> 00:24:42,324
Heels.
476
00:24:42,498 --> 00:24:45,153
And if she's walking along
the edge of Old Quarry Road
477
00:24:45,327 --> 00:24:49,767
in a blinding rainstorm
at night, in heels,
478
00:24:49,941 --> 00:24:52,987
and she suddenly
lost her footing,
479
00:24:53,161 --> 00:24:54,946
it'd be next to impossible
480
00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,904
to prevent herself
from falling,
isn't that correct?
481
00:24:59,864 --> 00:25:00,734
Yes.
482
00:25:03,911 --> 00:25:04,825
Thank you.
483
00:25:06,871 --> 00:25:09,177
She landed
in a posterior position,
484
00:25:09,351 --> 00:25:12,964
which suggests she was pushed,
as opposed to a fall.
485
00:25:13,138 --> 00:25:15,357
Rigor mortis indicated
the victim had been dead
486
00:25:15,531 --> 00:25:17,055
for around nine hours.
487
00:25:17,229 --> 00:25:18,360
[Faith] Hmm.
488
00:25:18,534 --> 00:25:19,927
And the cause of death?
489
00:25:20,101 --> 00:25:22,234
The severity of her
skull fractures suggests
490
00:25:22,408 --> 00:25:25,411
she was struck
with a non-specific
blunt instrument.
491
00:25:26,847 --> 00:25:28,762
And the manner of death?
492
00:25:29,981 --> 00:25:30,938
Homicide.
493
00:25:33,288 --> 00:25:35,116
[Faith] Thank you.
No more questions.
494
00:25:38,554 --> 00:25:41,079
The witness is yours,
Mr. Resnick.
495
00:25:41,253 --> 00:25:43,168
Is it possible
that she sustained
496
00:25:43,342 --> 00:25:45,300
her head injuries
from hitting the rocks?
497
00:25:45,474 --> 00:25:47,215
Possible, sure,
498
00:25:47,389 --> 00:25:48,434
but in my
professional opinion,
it's not likely.
499
00:25:48,608 --> 00:25:50,088
But possible.
500
00:25:53,221 --> 00:25:54,135
That's all from me.
501
00:25:59,358 --> 00:26:01,926
Thank you for your testimony.
You may step down.
502
00:26:06,321 --> 00:26:07,801
On October 25th of last year,
503
00:26:07,975 --> 00:26:09,324
you lived on Old Quarry Road.
504
00:26:09,498 --> 00:26:11,457
- Correct?
- Yes.
505
00:26:11,631 --> 00:26:13,241
And do you remember
anything unusual happening
that evening?
506
00:26:13,415 --> 00:26:16,549
I saw a man get out of his car
[chuckles] in a storm.
507
00:26:16,723 --> 00:26:17,942
Do you remember
what time that was?
508
00:26:18,116 --> 00:26:20,205
It was 11:48 on the button.
509
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,207
I looked at the clock.
510
00:26:23,034 --> 00:26:24,775
I heard thunder,
511
00:26:24,949 --> 00:26:27,212
and so I went to the window,
and lightning lit up the sky.
512
00:26:28,692 --> 00:26:29,605
There he was.
513
00:26:29,780 --> 00:26:31,346
[Faith] What was he doing?
514
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,698
He looked around, he went over
to the side of the road.
515
00:26:37,265 --> 00:26:39,703
Peered over the railing...
516
00:26:39,877 --> 00:26:43,576
got back in his car
and drove off.
517
00:26:43,750 --> 00:26:45,099
And is that man
you saw that night
518
00:26:45,273 --> 00:26:46,579
here in the courtroom
today, do you know?
519
00:26:46,753 --> 00:26:47,798
Can you point him out?
520
00:26:50,104 --> 00:26:51,062
[coin clatters]
521
00:26:53,064 --> 00:26:54,282
Yes, he is here today.
522
00:26:56,023 --> 00:26:58,460
That's him right there.
523
00:26:58,634 --> 00:27:00,724
Let the record reflect that
the witness has identified
524
00:27:00,898 --> 00:27:02,856
the man he saw
as the defendant,
525
00:27:03,030 --> 00:27:05,729
James Michael Sythe.
526
00:27:05,903 --> 00:27:07,208
No more questions, Your Honor.
527
00:27:09,167 --> 00:27:11,343
All right. This feels
like a good time
528
00:27:11,517 --> 00:27:13,562
to break for the day.
529
00:27:13,737 --> 00:27:16,827
This court is in recess until
9:00 a.m. tomorrow morning
530
00:27:17,001 --> 00:27:19,699
when we will pick up here
where we left off.
531
00:27:31,929 --> 00:27:32,930
Justin, what's going on?
532
00:27:35,106 --> 00:27:36,194
I need a lawyer.
533
00:27:38,196 --> 00:27:40,459
Okay. Give me a dollar.
534
00:27:40,633 --> 00:27:42,548
And I'm not joking, that gives
us attorney-client privilege.
535
00:27:42,722 --> 00:27:43,723
Take a seat.
536
00:27:47,031 --> 00:27:48,902
So I went to clear my head,
537
00:27:49,076 --> 00:27:51,383
and found myself
at Rowdy's Hideaway...
538
00:27:53,124 --> 00:27:54,821
Ordered a drink
and sat there for a while,
539
00:27:54,995 --> 00:27:56,475
then I got up and left.
540
00:27:56,649 --> 00:27:59,478
I got to the car.
It was raining.
541
00:27:59,652 --> 00:28:01,045
I turned back onto Old Quarry,
542
00:28:01,219 --> 00:28:03,134
I went about
a quarter of a mile
543
00:28:03,308 --> 00:28:04,613
and I hit something.
544
00:28:06,267 --> 00:28:07,399
I got out of the car
and I looked around.
545
00:28:07,573 --> 00:28:08,922
I checked,
I didn't see anything,
546
00:28:09,096 --> 00:28:11,403
and I figured it was
a deer that ran off,
547
00:28:11,577 --> 00:28:14,319
and then I got back
in the car and went home.
548
00:28:17,583 --> 00:28:19,715
Okay, what's the problem?
549
00:28:19,890 --> 00:28:21,935
I got called for jury duty.
550
00:28:22,109 --> 00:28:24,459
- The Kendall Carter case?
- Mmm-hmm.
551
00:28:24,633 --> 00:28:27,941
And they found her body
in a creek bed,
552
00:28:28,115 --> 00:28:30,814
about a quarter mile from
Rowdy's Hideaway last October.
553
00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:35,035
What are you telling me?
554
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,472
[breathes heavily]
555
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,823
Maybe I didn't hit a deer.
556
00:28:41,389 --> 00:28:42,390
[sighs]
557
00:28:43,870 --> 00:28:45,350
[stammers] I don't know
what to do.
558
00:28:47,439 --> 00:28:48,744
You were at a bar
and you had a drink?
559
00:28:48,919 --> 00:28:50,355
Yes, but I didn't touch it.
560
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:51,617
Doesn't matter.
561
00:28:51,791 --> 00:28:52,966
Given your history,
562
00:28:53,140 --> 00:28:54,446
there isn't a jury in the world
563
00:28:54,620 --> 00:28:56,100
that would believe
you were sober.
564
00:28:56,274 --> 00:28:57,710
But if I was
coming forward voluntarily,
565
00:28:57,884 --> 00:28:59,320
that has to count
for something, right?
566
00:28:59,494 --> 00:29:00,582
If I come forward
and I tell them the truth...
567
00:29:00,756 --> 00:29:01,975
Then your prior DUIs,
568
00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:03,629
and the fact
that you were at a bar,
569
00:29:03,803 --> 00:29:04,978
gives the State
reason to charge you
570
00:29:05,152 --> 00:29:06,458
with first-degree
vehicular homicide
571
00:29:06,632 --> 00:29:07,633
or even felony murder.
572
00:29:07,807 --> 00:29:09,548
That's 30 years to life.
573
00:29:09,722 --> 00:29:10,984
What?
574
00:29:11,158 --> 00:29:12,507
If you were to
come forward right now,
575
00:29:12,681 --> 00:29:14,031
you will be completely screwed.
576
00:29:16,598 --> 00:29:17,512
That's it?
577
00:29:17,686 --> 00:29:18,687
Uh...
578
00:29:21,168 --> 00:29:22,126
[sighs]
579
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:23,997
I'm sorry.
580
00:29:26,913 --> 00:29:29,220
[Eric] The defense calls
James Sythe, Your Honor.
581
00:29:32,701 --> 00:29:34,921
[Judge Thelma] Please raise
your right hand.
582
00:29:35,095 --> 00:29:36,705
Do you swear to tell the truth,
583
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,969
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth,
584
00:29:39,143 --> 00:29:40,144
so help you God?
585
00:29:40,318 --> 00:29:41,449
Yes, Your Honor.
586
00:29:41,623 --> 00:29:43,843
All right. Have a seat.
587
00:29:47,151 --> 00:29:49,370
Please state your name
for the record.
588
00:29:49,544 --> 00:29:51,242
Uh, James Michael Sythe.
589
00:29:53,635 --> 00:29:55,072
[Judge Thelma]
Mr. Resnick, your witness.
590
00:29:55,246 --> 00:29:57,552
Okay, James, let's talk
about what happened
591
00:29:57,726 --> 00:29:59,076
the night of October 25th.
592
00:29:59,250 --> 00:30:00,338
Can you tell us what happened?
593
00:30:00,512 --> 00:30:02,253
Yeah, um...
594
00:30:02,427 --> 00:30:03,819
Kendall and I went to Rowdy's
595
00:30:03,994 --> 00:30:06,474
to have a few drinks,
get some food.
596
00:30:07,867 --> 00:30:09,869
We were having fun,
shots and pool,
597
00:30:10,043 --> 00:30:12,219
played some darts, you know.
598
00:30:12,393 --> 00:30:15,570
Now, there's been testimony
that you guys argued.
599
00:30:15,744 --> 00:30:17,790
You don't deny that, do you?
600
00:30:17,964 --> 00:30:19,966
[James] No. No, yeah. Um...
601
00:30:20,140 --> 00:30:22,751
She got really drunk
and she was...
602
00:30:22,926 --> 00:30:23,927
She was giving me a hard time.
603
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,712
What do you mean?
604
00:30:26,886 --> 00:30:29,193
She'd been going on
about us moving in together
605
00:30:29,367 --> 00:30:30,977
for a couple of weeks and I...
606
00:30:31,151 --> 00:30:32,674
just kept telling her
that I didn't think
607
00:30:32,848 --> 00:30:34,372
that I was ready.
608
00:30:34,546 --> 00:30:35,503
We'll... We'll see.
609
00:30:37,288 --> 00:30:39,246
- We'll see.
- What do you mean "We'll see"?
610
00:30:39,420 --> 00:30:41,770
And she just wasn't having it.
She said I didn't love her.
611
00:30:43,729 --> 00:30:45,209
And, uh, she stormed out.
612
00:30:45,383 --> 00:30:46,688
And then what happened?
613
00:30:47,907 --> 00:30:49,909
We argued in the parking lot.
614
00:30:50,083 --> 00:30:51,432
I don't want
to do this anymore.
615
00:30:51,606 --> 00:30:53,391
- Do what?
- I want to go home.
616
00:30:54,131 --> 00:30:55,393
I'm done.
617
00:30:55,567 --> 00:30:56,872
Fine. Get out of here.
Go walk home.
618
00:30:59,049 --> 00:31:01,225
Go walk home then. In the rain.
619
00:31:05,011 --> 00:31:07,274
And she was just
out of her head, you know?
620
00:31:07,448 --> 00:31:09,711
Screaming at me and walked off.
621
00:31:10,886 --> 00:31:12,932
[Eric] And what did you do?
622
00:31:13,106 --> 00:31:14,890
[James] Followed her, at first,
623
00:31:15,065 --> 00:31:17,458
but it was cold,
it was raining.
624
00:31:18,807 --> 00:31:20,809
I remember getting in my car.
625
00:31:20,984 --> 00:31:22,376
So I was parked next to, uh,
626
00:31:22,550 --> 00:31:24,074
mile marker 217.
627
00:31:27,381 --> 00:31:30,994
My niece is born
February 17th, so that just...
628
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:35,346
I don't know, pulled me
out of everything,
629
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,044
then I turned around
and just drove home.
630
00:31:45,095 --> 00:31:47,967
And, um, we'd see
each other the next day,
631
00:31:48,141 --> 00:31:49,664
and we'd work it out, like...
632
00:31:51,188 --> 00:31:52,145
like always.
633
00:31:54,147 --> 00:31:57,672
Look, was I stupid?
634
00:31:57,846 --> 00:32:00,327
For not wanting
to move in with her?
635
00:32:00,501 --> 00:32:02,329
So I could see
her face every day?
636
00:32:04,375 --> 00:32:05,289
Absolutely, yeah.
637
00:32:07,291 --> 00:32:09,467
But I could never put
my hands on her like that.
638
00:32:13,906 --> 00:32:15,386
I couldn't do that to her.
639
00:32:16,474 --> 00:32:17,649
I... I loved her.
640
00:32:20,347 --> 00:32:23,089
Now, look, I understand,
641
00:32:23,263 --> 00:32:26,266
with my past,
and the mistakes
that I've made,
642
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,877
I know what you're thinking,
I do. And I get it.
643
00:32:31,706 --> 00:32:33,360
But I'm...
644
00:32:33,534 --> 00:32:35,188
I'm not that guy anymore.
645
00:32:36,363 --> 00:32:37,538
Okay, I've changed.
646
00:32:39,627 --> 00:32:41,542
I left that life behind me,
and I, you know...
647
00:32:41,716 --> 00:32:43,370
[voice breaks] I thought
I was doing really good.
648
00:32:45,416 --> 00:32:47,983
[sighs] I don't know
what happened.
649
00:32:48,941 --> 00:32:49,985
I went home. I drove...
650
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:51,378
I just... I drove home.
651
00:32:57,993 --> 00:32:59,952
I know how difficult
this is for you, James.
652
00:33:02,085 --> 00:33:03,912
You take your time, and...
653
00:33:04,087 --> 00:33:05,436
let me know when you're ready.
654
00:33:07,351 --> 00:33:08,308
I'm good.
655
00:33:10,832 --> 00:33:13,226
I'm gonna show you
a video now, okay?
656
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,010
And then I'm gonna
ask you some questions.
657
00:33:17,143 --> 00:33:19,189
[James on video]
It's fine. I'm not mad.
658
00:33:19,363 --> 00:33:20,886
Why didn't you say it to me?
659
00:33:21,060 --> 00:33:22,627
[country music playing
on video]
660
00:33:23,671 --> 00:33:24,672
[billiard balls clatter]
661
00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:28,023
Did you see that?
662
00:33:28,198 --> 00:33:29,721
- That's for you.
- [Kendall] That's my guy.
663
00:33:31,026 --> 00:33:32,376
[chuckles]
664
00:33:32,550 --> 00:33:34,726
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
665
00:33:34,900 --> 00:33:35,988
Did you miss or make it?
666
00:33:36,162 --> 00:33:36,989
[Kendall] No, I didn't make it.
667
00:33:37,163 --> 00:33:38,817
[James] You missed it.
668
00:33:38,991 --> 00:33:41,211
Well, let me help you.
You're good luck. Come here.
669
00:33:41,994 --> 00:33:42,951
[Kendall] I was.
670
00:33:45,780 --> 00:33:46,781
[Kendall kisses]
671
00:33:50,350 --> 00:33:51,743
[James] Okay,
turn that shit off.
672
00:33:51,917 --> 00:33:53,092
[Kendall] Okay.
673
00:33:56,878 --> 00:33:57,836
[Eric] Who took that video?
674
00:33:58,793 --> 00:33:59,794
Kendall.
675
00:34:01,796 --> 00:34:02,710
When?
676
00:34:02,884 --> 00:34:04,190
October 25th.
677
00:34:05,409 --> 00:34:06,366
Of last year.
678
00:34:07,019 --> 00:34:08,151
And where?
679
00:34:09,456 --> 00:34:11,197
At Rowdy's Hideaway.
680
00:34:14,592 --> 00:34:16,594
Thank you, James.
No more questions.
681
00:34:20,554 --> 00:34:22,034
Prosecution, your witness.
682
00:34:22,817 --> 00:34:24,297
Mr. Sythe,
683
00:34:24,471 --> 00:34:27,170
you just stated that
you loved Kendall Carter.
684
00:34:27,344 --> 00:34:29,128
Is that right?
685
00:34:29,302 --> 00:34:31,348
- More than anything.
- [Faith] Hmm.
686
00:34:31,522 --> 00:34:33,132
And on the night
of October 25th,
687
00:34:33,306 --> 00:34:34,873
you and Kendall drove
to Rowdy's Hideaway.
688
00:34:35,047 --> 00:34:35,917
Is that right?
689
00:34:36,091 --> 00:34:38,529
We took my car, yeah.
690
00:34:38,703 --> 00:34:39,791
And when you got there,
the two of you
691
00:34:39,965 --> 00:34:41,184
started drinking,
is that right?
692
00:34:42,359 --> 00:34:44,448
Yeah. It's a bar.
693
00:34:44,622 --> 00:34:46,406
And then the two of you
started arguing.
694
00:34:46,580 --> 00:34:47,581
Is that right?
695
00:34:48,365 --> 00:34:49,192
Yeah.
696
00:34:50,758 --> 00:34:52,151
And during this argument,
697
00:34:52,325 --> 00:34:54,588
you knocked a beer bottle
off the table.
698
00:34:54,762 --> 00:34:55,850
Is that right?
699
00:34:57,374 --> 00:34:59,463
Yeah, it was an accident.
700
00:34:59,637 --> 00:35:02,596
And then she left,
and you went after her.
701
00:35:02,770 --> 00:35:03,597
Is that right?
702
00:35:03,771 --> 00:35:05,338
Yeah.
703
00:35:05,512 --> 00:35:08,950
And outside, the argument
continued, and... [scoffs]
704
00:35:09,124 --> 00:35:11,214
it is your sworn testimony,
705
00:35:11,388 --> 00:35:13,607
that you left
Kendall Carter alone
706
00:35:13,781 --> 00:35:16,001
to walk down
a narrow two-lane road
707
00:35:16,175 --> 00:35:19,047
in the dark, drunk,
in the pouring rain,
708
00:35:19,222 --> 00:35:21,093
in the middle
of a thunderstorm.
709
00:35:23,226 --> 00:35:25,097
Is that how you treat
someone you love?
710
00:35:30,015 --> 00:35:31,234
No more questions, Your Honor.
711
00:35:34,193 --> 00:35:36,326
Are there any further questions
from the defense?
712
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:39,503
No, Your Honor.
The defense rests.
713
00:35:39,677 --> 00:35:42,506
Thank you for your testimony,
you can step down.
714
00:35:51,515 --> 00:35:52,733
[Judge Thelma]
Members of the jury,
715
00:35:52,907 --> 00:35:54,996
the evidence in this case
is now closed.
716
00:35:55,170 --> 00:35:56,476
Attorneys, you may give
717
00:35:56,650 --> 00:35:58,826
your closing arguments
at this time.
718
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,046
Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury...
719
00:36:03,004 --> 00:36:06,573
Kendall Carter's murder
was a savage crime
720
00:36:06,747 --> 00:36:08,575
committed by an evil man.
721
00:36:09,707 --> 00:36:11,404
[Eric] An innocent man.
722
00:36:11,578 --> 00:36:15,190
An innocent man
who was shattered
723
00:36:15,365 --> 00:36:18,759
from losing
the love of his life.
724
00:36:18,933 --> 00:36:20,935
We have an eyewitness
who saw him at the crime scene
725
00:36:21,109 --> 00:36:23,198
at the time of death.
726
00:36:23,373 --> 00:36:26,463
In the middle of the night,
in a blinding rainstorm...
727
00:36:27,551 --> 00:36:28,856
it could have been anyone.
728
00:36:29,030 --> 00:36:30,858
When she broke up
with him that night,
729
00:36:31,032 --> 00:36:33,426
and he realized she meant it,
730
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:34,645
he snapped.
731
00:36:36,081 --> 00:36:37,648
And so he bludgeoned her.
732
00:36:37,822 --> 00:36:41,086
No murder weapon
was recovered. Nothing.
733
00:36:41,869 --> 00:36:43,262
Nothing.
734
00:36:43,436 --> 00:36:46,352
The defendant's DNA
was all over the victim.
735
00:36:46,526 --> 00:36:47,745
No one else's.
736
00:36:47,919 --> 00:36:49,529
[Eric] The State says
there was DNA.
737
00:36:49,703 --> 00:36:52,140
Of course, there was DNA.
Of course.
738
00:36:52,315 --> 00:36:53,664
They were a couple.
739
00:36:53,838 --> 00:36:56,144
[Faith] Yeah, of course,
they were a couple.
740
00:36:56,319 --> 00:36:57,842
Until they weren't.
741
00:36:58,016 --> 00:37:01,976
James Sythe bravely
took the stand
742
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:04,588
and admitted
to some difficult truths.
743
00:37:04,762 --> 00:37:06,154
[Faith] That? [scoffs]
744
00:37:06,329 --> 00:37:09,027
That was all a performance,
nothing else.
745
00:37:09,810 --> 00:37:11,551
Look...
746
00:37:11,725 --> 00:37:14,859
I think we can
all agree on this.
747
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:18,210
The person responsible
for Kendall Carter's death
748
00:37:19,211 --> 00:37:20,821
deserves to face justice.
749
00:37:21,953 --> 00:37:24,172
That person is James Sythe.
750
00:37:25,348 --> 00:37:26,436
But that person,
751
00:37:27,567 --> 00:37:28,786
that evil man,
752
00:37:30,048 --> 00:37:31,310
is still out there.
753
00:37:33,181 --> 00:37:36,315
All I ask is that you
deliver a verdict
754
00:37:36,489 --> 00:37:37,795
that speaks the truth.
755
00:37:39,318 --> 00:37:42,147
The truth about
what happened to Kendall.
756
00:37:42,321 --> 00:37:44,932
The truth about what happened
on Old Quarry Road that night.
757
00:37:46,543 --> 00:37:48,022
And the truth about him.
758
00:37:51,765 --> 00:37:53,114
And the truth about him...
759
00:37:54,420 --> 00:37:56,335
is that James Michael Sythe
760
00:37:57,423 --> 00:37:58,381
is guilty.
761
00:37:59,469 --> 00:38:01,035
Find him guilty.
762
00:38:03,037 --> 00:38:05,562
The truth is, James Sythe...
763
00:38:06,432 --> 00:38:08,260
is not guilty.
764
00:38:11,437 --> 00:38:12,786
Find James Sythe...
765
00:38:14,309 --> 00:38:15,398
not guilty.
766
00:38:18,183 --> 00:38:19,184
Thank you.
767
00:38:24,450 --> 00:38:26,626
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
768
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:27,975
Um, excuse me, everyone.
769
00:38:28,149 --> 00:38:29,934
If... If nobody objects,
770
00:38:30,108 --> 00:38:32,284
I'd really like to throw
my name into the ring
771
00:38:32,458 --> 00:38:33,503
to be the forewoman.
772
00:38:33,677 --> 00:38:34,939
I've served on multiple juries.
773
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:36,375
- I know the ropes.
- I'm cool with it.
774
00:38:36,549 --> 00:38:37,768
- Yeah. Sure.
- Sure!
775
00:38:37,942 --> 00:38:39,509
- I don't mind.
- Okay, great. Thanks.
776
00:38:39,683 --> 00:38:43,121
Okay. So right now we can do
one of two things.
777
00:38:43,295 --> 00:38:44,775
We can vote and talk,
778
00:38:44,949 --> 00:38:46,254
or talk and vote.
779
00:38:46,429 --> 00:38:47,908
I suggest that we just vote
780
00:38:48,082 --> 00:38:49,519
and just get an idea
where we all stand.
781
00:38:49,693 --> 00:38:51,216
- Does that sound good?
- Agreed.
782
00:38:51,390 --> 00:38:54,045
Okay. So I vote "guilty."
783
00:38:54,219 --> 00:38:56,656
Yes, ma'am. Me, too.
784
00:38:56,830 --> 00:39:01,095
Me three. This whole thing
is such a shame.
785
00:39:01,269 --> 00:39:03,968
Yeah. I definitely think
that he did it.
786
00:39:04,142 --> 00:39:05,099
Definitely.
787
00:39:06,318 --> 00:39:07,319
I agree.
788
00:39:08,451 --> 00:39:09,756
Everything fits together.
789
00:39:10,844 --> 00:39:12,542
Yeah. Let him rot.
790
00:39:13,934 --> 00:39:15,545
[woman 1] Amen.
791
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,287
Nine. So that is
nine for guilty.
792
00:39:20,637 --> 00:39:22,421
You, sir? Hi.
793
00:39:22,595 --> 00:39:24,510
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, guilty's cool.
794
00:39:25,772 --> 00:39:26,730
Okay.
795
00:39:27,382 --> 00:39:28,558
And...
796
00:39:28,732 --> 00:39:30,385
Oh! You, sir? How about you?
797
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,213
Kid should have pled out.
798
00:39:34,564 --> 00:39:36,043
And then there was one.
799
00:39:39,307 --> 00:39:40,831
[Justin sighs]
800
00:39:45,444 --> 00:39:47,490
[somber music playing]
801
00:39:47,664 --> 00:39:49,883
All right. So...
what's it gonna be?
802
00:39:50,057 --> 00:39:51,363
You with us or what?
803
00:39:53,017 --> 00:39:54,409
[sighs]
804
00:39:54,584 --> 00:39:56,107
[woman 1 sighs] Tsk.
805
00:39:59,153 --> 00:40:00,720
Don't you want to get home
to your pregnant wife?
806
00:40:00,894 --> 00:40:02,069
Of... Of course I do.
807
00:40:02,243 --> 00:40:03,462
All right.
So what's the problem?
808
00:40:04,463 --> 00:40:05,986
[stammers]
809
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:07,335
You know, this is somebody's
life we're dealing with.
810
00:40:07,510 --> 00:40:09,642
Shouldn't we at least
talk about it?
811
00:40:10,817 --> 00:40:12,384
[sighs]
812
00:40:12,558 --> 00:40:14,734
This is a joke. [sighs]
813
00:40:14,908 --> 00:40:16,823
No, it's, um...
Look, it's a deliberation.
814
00:40:16,997 --> 00:40:19,043
You are ready to send
this man to prison,
815
00:40:19,217 --> 00:40:20,566
maybe forever, just like that?
816
00:40:20,740 --> 00:40:22,829
[King] And?
817
00:40:23,003 --> 00:40:24,439
I heard the facts
of the case. Did you?
818
00:40:24,614 --> 00:40:26,616
Yeah, right.
The lawyer didn't prove,
819
00:40:26,790 --> 00:40:29,401
beyond a reasonable doubt,
that he was innocent.
820
00:40:29,575 --> 00:40:30,968
Well, he doesn't have to.
821
00:40:31,142 --> 00:40:33,057
The burden of proof
is on the prosecution.
822
00:40:33,231 --> 00:40:35,450
Does anyone have
even the slightest hesitation
823
00:40:35,625 --> 00:40:36,887
that James Sythe is guilty?
824
00:40:37,061 --> 00:40:39,933
[sighs] I mean...
825
00:40:40,107 --> 00:40:41,979
Look, if you have to think,
you aren't sure.
826
00:40:42,153 --> 00:40:43,546
No.
827
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:45,417
What I'm sure of is,
I got three kids at home
828
00:40:45,591 --> 00:40:46,592
I got to get back to.
829
00:40:46,766 --> 00:40:48,115
Look, we all have lives.
830
00:40:48,289 --> 00:40:49,203
None of us want to be here.
831
00:40:49,377 --> 00:40:51,292
Okay. Um, how about we...
832
00:40:51,466 --> 00:40:53,686
Why don't you just tell us
what your issue is
833
00:40:53,860 --> 00:40:55,732
or your issues are,
834
00:40:55,906 --> 00:40:57,603
and... and then we can
all talk through it?
835
00:40:57,777 --> 00:41:00,650
Oh, I don't have
an... an issue. Uh...
836
00:41:00,824 --> 00:41:02,390
Okay. So you just like
pissing me off, then?
837
00:41:02,565 --> 00:41:04,436
- Or what?
- [scoffs] No. Look, I...
838
00:41:04,610 --> 00:41:05,872
I have questions.
839
00:41:06,046 --> 00:41:08,701
Nah. That's just
your guilt talking.
840
00:41:10,094 --> 00:41:11,008
What do you mean?
841
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:17,057
You want to go home
to your little neighborhood
842
00:41:17,231 --> 00:41:18,406
and tell them,
843
00:41:18,581 --> 00:41:20,147
"We did right by that boy.
844
00:41:20,321 --> 00:41:23,498
We gave him a fair shake,
just like anybody else."
845
00:41:23,673 --> 00:41:25,936
Whoa, man. Hold up.
Why're you getting on him
like that?
846
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:27,111
Hey, mind
your own damn business,
847
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:28,634
all right, little fella?
848
00:41:28,808 --> 00:41:30,767
- Excuse me?
- That's enough. Both of you.
849
00:41:33,247 --> 00:41:35,423
Please, Mr. Kemp, go on.
850
00:41:35,598 --> 00:41:36,599
Thank you, ma'am.
851
00:41:37,904 --> 00:41:39,340
All I'm trying to say is,
852
00:41:39,514 --> 00:41:40,864
let's put everything else
aside for a minute
853
00:41:41,038 --> 00:41:43,606
and just remember
two key points. Um...
854
00:41:43,780 --> 00:41:46,043
One, Sythe went to trial
instead of taking a plea,
855
00:41:46,217 --> 00:41:49,089
and two, he testified
instead of taking the Fifth.
856
00:41:50,134 --> 00:41:51,570
Right? I mean...
857
00:41:51,744 --> 00:41:53,311
it doesn't mean he's innocent,
858
00:41:53,485 --> 00:41:54,747
but I think he's earned
just a few hours of our time
859
00:41:54,921 --> 00:41:56,488
just to be sure.
860
00:41:56,662 --> 00:41:58,882
Uh, he's right. You're right.
861
00:41:59,056 --> 00:42:01,319
We should take the time
and we should go over it.
862
00:42:01,493 --> 00:42:04,365
Fine. Fine,
but it's a waste of time.
863
00:42:04,539 --> 00:42:05,932
Any other group of 12 people
864
00:42:06,106 --> 00:42:07,455
would arrive at the exact same
decision we did.
865
00:42:07,630 --> 00:42:10,154
[woman 1] Mmm-hmm.
That part right there.
866
00:42:11,764 --> 00:42:14,680
The State has the truth
on its side.
867
00:42:14,854 --> 00:42:17,204
James Sythe is going to pay
for what he did.
868
00:42:17,378 --> 00:42:19,554
And I will get justice
for Kendall Carter
869
00:42:19,729 --> 00:42:23,297
and every woman who is
a victim of domestic abuse.
870
00:42:23,471 --> 00:42:25,082
How do you feel
about the latest polling
871
00:42:25,256 --> 00:42:26,953
that a verdict
in the Sythe trial
872
00:42:27,127 --> 00:42:28,738
carries a five-point swing
in the district attorney race?
873
00:42:28,912 --> 00:42:29,956
Oh, come on. You...
874
00:42:30,130 --> 00:42:31,871
You know I can't
comment on that.
875
00:42:32,045 --> 00:42:33,612
Okay. Thank you, everybody.
876
00:42:40,358 --> 00:42:44,754
So I'm just going to start
with what I think
877
00:42:44,928 --> 00:42:47,278
is the most damning evidence.
878
00:42:47,452 --> 00:42:50,281
Which was the man who saw
879
00:42:50,455 --> 00:42:53,153
Sythe on the road,
at the railing,
880
00:42:53,327 --> 00:42:55,503
directly above where
Kendall Carter's
body was found.
881
00:42:55,678 --> 00:42:57,201
Yes, exactly.
882
00:42:57,375 --> 00:42:58,855
So what's left
to even talk about?
883
00:42:59,029 --> 00:43:00,639
Well, I mean, he was
a few hundred feet away,
884
00:43:00,813 --> 00:43:01,945
looking from across the bridge.
885
00:43:02,119 --> 00:43:03,860
And it was
the middle of the night,
886
00:43:04,034 --> 00:43:05,688
and through pouring rain.
887
00:43:05,862 --> 00:43:07,124
Yeah. And I've actually done
888
00:43:07,298 --> 00:43:08,560
a bunch of landscaping
work up there.
889
00:43:08,734 --> 00:43:10,605
That whole area
is covered by trees.
890
00:43:10,780 --> 00:43:12,085
It'd be hard to see.
891
00:43:12,259 --> 00:43:14,479
The man made
a positive identification.
892
00:43:14,653 --> 00:43:16,829
Yeah, but dude's
kind of ancient, though.
893
00:43:17,003 --> 00:43:18,613
[laughs]
894
00:43:18,788 --> 00:43:22,269
Well, this old bird has
20-20 vision with my glasses.
895
00:43:22,443 --> 00:43:24,968
Come on, y'all.
It's his testimony.
He's not lying.
896
00:43:25,142 --> 00:43:26,796
I mean, why would he lie?
897
00:43:26,970 --> 00:43:28,449
And the question here means
that we think he's lying.
898
00:43:28,623 --> 00:43:30,016
I don't think he's lying.
899
00:43:30,190 --> 00:43:31,148
You think he's lying?
900
00:43:31,322 --> 00:43:32,889
No, I don't think he's lying--
901
00:43:33,063 --> 00:43:33,977
[woman 1] Okay. So what
the hell are we talking about?
902
00:43:34,151 --> 00:43:35,543
Look, I'm just saying... Okay.
903
00:43:35,718 --> 00:43:37,545
The man, he saw somebody
at the railing, right?
904
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:38,721
Can we all agree on that?
905
00:43:38,895 --> 00:43:39,765
- Yeah.
- Yes.
906
00:43:39,939 --> 00:43:41,549
Okay. So isn't it possible
907
00:43:41,724 --> 00:43:43,595
- that he saw someone
other than James Sythe?
- Oh!
908
00:43:43,769 --> 00:43:46,076
Mmm-mmm.
No, we can go back and forth
all day on possibilities.
909
00:43:46,250 --> 00:43:47,555
That's not helpful.
910
00:43:47,730 --> 00:43:48,426
- Well, I think we should.
- No, no, no.
911
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:49,775
No. That's not our job.
912
00:43:49,949 --> 00:43:51,429
Our job is to just
weigh the facts.
913
00:43:52,647 --> 00:43:54,693
[sighs] Okay. Fact.
914
00:43:54,867 --> 00:43:58,175
32% of homicides occur
between domestic partners.
915
00:43:58,349 --> 00:44:00,090
Fact, the police
arrested James Sythe
916
00:44:00,264 --> 00:44:01,918
two days after
they found the body.
917
00:44:02,092 --> 00:44:05,051
Fact, they never questioned
any other suspects.
918
00:44:05,225 --> 00:44:07,010
You watch too much TV,
old man. [scoffs]
919
00:44:07,184 --> 00:44:08,533
[chuckles]
920
00:44:08,707 --> 00:44:11,057
[sighs] Okay.
921
00:44:17,150 --> 00:44:18,282
You're a cop?
922
00:44:20,066 --> 00:44:21,415
I was.
923
00:44:21,589 --> 00:44:23,635
Twenty-two years.
Robbery-homicide.
924
00:44:25,550 --> 00:44:27,682
Finally took the buyout,
came down here to get away
925
00:44:27,857 --> 00:44:29,728
from those brutal
Midwest winters
926
00:44:29,902 --> 00:44:31,469
and be closer to the grandkids.
927
00:44:31,643 --> 00:44:33,471
Why didn't you... Why didn't
you tell the lawyers?
928
00:44:33,645 --> 00:44:34,951
'Cause nobody asked.
929
00:44:35,125 --> 00:44:36,953
How about that.
930
00:44:37,127 --> 00:44:39,433
Well, their loss is our gain.
931
00:44:39,607 --> 00:44:41,392
So what are you
thinking, officer?
932
00:44:41,566 --> 00:44:42,872
Uh, Detective.
933
00:44:43,046 --> 00:44:44,047
Um...
934
00:44:44,221 --> 00:44:45,744
Look, I think...
935
00:44:45,918 --> 00:44:47,398
It seems to me like the police,
936
00:44:47,572 --> 00:44:48,965
you know, followed
the evidence,
937
00:44:49,139 --> 00:44:50,880
found their guy,
built their case.
938
00:44:51,054 --> 00:44:52,969
Okay. So what's wrong
with that?
939
00:44:53,143 --> 00:44:55,014
It may be nothing,
but tunnel vision like that
940
00:44:55,188 --> 00:44:56,929
can really bite you in the ass.
941
00:44:57,103 --> 00:44:59,062
They feed Sythe
to that eyewitness,
942
00:44:59,236 --> 00:45:01,325
so, of course,
that's who he IDs.
943
00:45:01,499 --> 00:45:03,240
Now they're sure
they got their guy,
944
00:45:03,414 --> 00:45:05,590
so they just ignore anything
that doesn't help their case.
945
00:45:05,764 --> 00:45:08,245
They stop asking questions.
946
00:45:08,419 --> 00:45:09,768
Confirmation bias.
947
00:45:09,942 --> 00:45:11,726
Yeah, confirmation bias.
Exactly.
948
00:45:11,901 --> 00:45:12,902
Confirmation bias.
949
00:45:13,076 --> 00:45:14,817
There's no bad intentions.
950
00:45:14,991 --> 00:45:17,558
It's just a bunch of people
trying to do the right thing,
951
00:45:17,732 --> 00:45:20,866
and they can't see everything
they're doing wrong.
952
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,303
It's a good point.
953
00:45:23,477 --> 00:45:26,829
And what about this blunt
instrument murder weapon
954
00:45:27,003 --> 00:45:28,482
they kept talking about?
955
00:45:28,656 --> 00:45:31,224
The prosecutor said
they couldn't recover it.
956
00:45:31,398 --> 00:45:33,531
So he got rid of it.
That's easy to do.
957
00:45:33,705 --> 00:45:35,054
Or he could have killed her
958
00:45:35,228 --> 00:45:37,752
with something other
than a blunt instrument.
959
00:45:37,927 --> 00:45:38,928
Like what?
960
00:45:40,538 --> 00:45:42,757
Like a car?
961
00:45:42,932 --> 00:45:44,194
It could have been
a hit-and-run.
962
00:45:46,326 --> 00:45:47,632
[Justin] Oh, shit.
963
00:45:47,806 --> 00:45:49,025
- Here. Let me help.
- I'm sorry. Sorry.
964
00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:49,895
- It got in your pants.
- It's all right.
965
00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:51,288
You know, that's...
966
00:45:51,462 --> 00:45:53,507
That's a really, really
good theory.
967
00:45:53,681 --> 00:45:55,292
- Hit-and-run.
- [Robinson] Yeah.
968
00:45:55,466 --> 00:45:56,641
I mean, it's raining,
it's night.
969
00:45:56,815 --> 00:45:58,556
Visibility's
got to be terrible.
970
00:45:58,730 --> 00:46:01,211
Well, we know it was slippery,
from that hiker's testimony.
971
00:46:01,385 --> 00:46:04,040
Wandering around
in the dark in heels?
972
00:46:04,214 --> 00:46:06,433
Kids today...
973
00:46:06,607 --> 00:46:10,611
Um, it explains how she could
have ended up in a creek.
974
00:46:10,785 --> 00:46:12,657
[jurors] Mmm-hmm.
975
00:46:12,831 --> 00:46:15,965
Okay. So, Sythe mowed her down
instead of bashing her head in?
976
00:46:16,139 --> 00:46:17,444
What are we talking about here?
977
00:46:17,618 --> 00:46:18,750
What difference does it make?
978
00:46:18,924 --> 00:46:21,318
The guy is a piece of shit.
979
00:46:21,492 --> 00:46:25,626
Look, my gut is telling me
that that kid is not a killer.
980
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,107
- Okay. The other day,
you voted guilty.
- [woman] Mmm-hmm.
981
00:46:28,281 --> 00:46:30,109
No. No, I never said guilty.
982
00:46:30,283 --> 00:46:33,069
I said, he should have
taken a plea bargain.
983
00:46:33,243 --> 00:46:34,853
He's got a weak case.
984
00:46:35,027 --> 00:46:36,724
[woman] Well, maybe there's
a reason for that.
985
00:46:36,899 --> 00:46:39,553
[Chicowski] Yeah. It's called
a public defender.
986
00:46:39,727 --> 00:46:40,772
I mean,
nothing against this guy.
987
00:46:40,946 --> 00:46:42,165
He seems pretty smart,
988
00:46:42,339 --> 00:46:45,081
but... the PDs
are working 10 times
989
00:46:45,255 --> 00:46:48,649
the caseload of the DA's office
on a fraction of the budget.
990
00:46:48,823 --> 00:46:50,260
It's just not a fair fight.
991
00:46:50,434 --> 00:46:52,740
Yeah, well, nothing is anymore.
992
00:46:52,915 --> 00:46:54,438
We'll just do the best we can.
993
00:46:54,612 --> 00:46:55,569
I hear you.
994
00:46:57,267 --> 00:46:59,225
And I got 22 years
on the street,
995
00:46:59,399 --> 00:47:01,140
that is telling me
996
00:47:01,314 --> 00:47:03,838
there's a lot more
to this case than we know.
997
00:47:04,013 --> 00:47:06,450
All right. Then, if you were
still a detective,
998
00:47:06,624 --> 00:47:07,581
what would you do?
999
00:47:07,755 --> 00:47:09,844
Yeah.
1000
00:47:10,019 --> 00:47:12,586
All right, y'all.
That's it for today.
1001
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,634
See you back here at 9:00 a.m.
Monday morning.
1002
00:47:16,808 --> 00:47:19,071
Oh! And I almost forgot.
Happy Halloween.
1003
00:47:19,245 --> 00:47:20,986
[jurors] Happy Halloween!
1004
00:47:23,336 --> 00:47:24,250
Hey!
1005
00:47:24,424 --> 00:47:26,339
Yeah, it has been a minute.
1006
00:47:26,513 --> 00:47:28,602
But I was hoping
you could do me a solid.
1007
00:47:29,734 --> 00:47:30,735
Hang on a sec.
1008
00:47:33,172 --> 00:47:34,652
[engine starts]
1009
00:47:36,088 --> 00:47:37,220
Yeah, I'm here.
1010
00:47:38,569 --> 00:47:39,918
[car engine starts]
1011
00:47:47,447 --> 00:47:49,275
[keyboard clacking]
1012
00:47:54,672 --> 00:47:56,108
"We cannot break the law.
1013
00:47:56,282 --> 00:47:58,981
"We can only break ourselves
of the law."
1014
00:48:00,852 --> 00:48:01,896
[knock at door]
1015
00:48:02,985 --> 00:48:04,073
- No decision yet.
- [sighs]
1016
00:48:04,247 --> 00:48:05,509
We're breaking for the weekend.
1017
00:48:05,683 --> 00:48:07,250
You're kidding.
1018
00:48:07,424 --> 00:48:09,078
You never know what
a dozen strangers are gonna do.
1019
00:48:09,252 --> 00:48:11,080
Clearly. Okay. Well,
thanks for letting me know.
1020
00:48:11,254 --> 00:48:12,516
- See you Monday.
- Mmm-hmm.
1021
00:48:12,690 --> 00:48:14,561
- Trick or treat!
- Yeah. Have a good one.
1022
00:48:14,735 --> 00:48:16,172
[keyboard clacking]
1023
00:48:16,346 --> 00:48:17,434
[sighs]
1024
00:48:57,474 --> 00:49:00,042
[somber music playing]
1025
00:49:03,523 --> 00:49:04,916
[cell phone rings]
1026
00:49:15,405 --> 00:49:17,059
[cell phone rings]
1027
00:49:20,366 --> 00:49:21,802
Hey, hon.
1028
00:49:21,976 --> 00:49:24,979
Yeah, I'm heading back
to the shop right now.
1029
00:49:25,806 --> 00:49:26,807
Okay.
1030
00:49:30,768 --> 00:49:32,552
[engine starts]
1031
00:49:56,924 --> 00:49:58,535
Hey.
1032
00:49:58,709 --> 00:50:00,450
- Hi.
- Did you get my text?
1033
00:50:02,974 --> 00:50:04,106
Oh, shit.
1034
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,455
Sorry.
1035
00:50:06,499 --> 00:50:08,110
I'm sorry, I forgot.
1036
00:50:09,111 --> 00:50:10,373
Does everything look okay?
1037
00:50:12,853 --> 00:50:13,811
Are you okay?
1038
00:50:20,165 --> 00:50:21,732
Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong?
1039
00:50:21,906 --> 00:50:22,907
I'm scared.
1040
00:50:24,952 --> 00:50:27,477
I'm scared. We didn't make it
this far last time, and...
1041
00:50:28,173 --> 00:50:29,131
I'm just scared.
1042
00:50:30,958 --> 00:50:32,308
I don't want to be
doing this alone.
1043
00:50:32,482 --> 00:50:33,874
I don't want to go
to these things alone.
1044
00:50:35,180 --> 00:50:36,747
It's going to be okay.
1045
00:50:36,921 --> 00:50:38,314
[stammers] It's going
to be all right, I promise.
1046
00:50:38,488 --> 00:50:39,228
I don't understand why
you weren't there today.
1047
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,625
How much longer is the trial
going to go on for?
1048
00:50:45,799 --> 00:50:48,759
[sighs] I have no idea.
1049
00:50:48,933 --> 00:50:51,065
- It's...
- Are you close to a verdict?
1050
00:50:51,240 --> 00:50:52,676
I'm not supposed
to discuss the case--
1051
00:50:52,850 --> 00:50:54,460
Justin, are you close
to a verdict?
1052
00:50:54,634 --> 00:50:57,507
Well, it's ten to two
for guilty.
1053
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:01,075
So then, Monday,
1054
00:51:01,250 --> 00:51:02,990
can you just go in
and sway the two holdouts
1055
00:51:03,165 --> 00:51:04,818
and then be done with this?
1056
00:51:04,992 --> 00:51:07,865
Well, I'm one of them. I...
1057
00:51:09,693 --> 00:51:11,477
- Why?
- I'm sorry,
1058
00:51:11,651 --> 00:51:12,913
but they took
one look at this guy,
and that was it.
1059
00:51:13,087 --> 00:51:14,785
No discussion of
the evidence, nothing.
1060
00:51:14,959 --> 00:51:15,960
I had to do something.
1061
00:51:19,268 --> 00:51:20,791
Everyone deserves
a chance, right?
1062
00:51:22,706 --> 00:51:25,012
I keep thinking where I'd be
if you hadn't given me one.
1063
00:51:30,540 --> 00:51:32,194
[stammers] Can I ask
you something?
1064
00:51:32,368 --> 00:51:34,021
[sighs]
1065
00:51:34,196 --> 00:51:36,720
Yeah, sure. What?
1066
00:51:36,894 --> 00:51:38,983
If I were to sell the 4Runner
without telling someone
1067
00:51:39,157 --> 00:51:40,898
it was in a wreck,
1068
00:51:41,072 --> 00:51:42,682
but they're happy with the deal
and there's no safety risks.
1069
00:51:42,856 --> 00:51:44,641
- It was in the ad, Justin.
- I know, I know,
1070
00:51:44,815 --> 00:51:45,990
but just go with me.
1071
00:51:46,164 --> 00:51:48,079
If they're never the wiser,
1072
00:51:48,253 --> 00:51:50,299
then did I do anything wrong?
1073
00:51:50,908 --> 00:51:51,865
No.
1074
00:51:53,084 --> 00:51:54,390
I mean, I don't think so.
1075
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:57,001
Yeah.
1076
00:51:59,699 --> 00:52:00,787
I'm going upstairs.
1077
00:52:00,961 --> 00:52:02,876
[melancholy music playing]
1078
00:52:03,877 --> 00:52:05,052
Food's in the fridge.
1079
00:52:05,227 --> 00:52:06,489
See you upstairs.
1080
00:52:13,278 --> 00:52:14,366
[sighs]
1081
00:52:33,037 --> 00:52:35,692
There she is.
Next round's on her.
1082
00:52:35,866 --> 00:52:37,737
Bourbon. Neat. And...
1083
00:52:37,911 --> 00:52:39,173
yeah, whatever he's having.
1084
00:52:39,348 --> 00:52:42,699
What I'm having?
What I'm having is a...
1085
00:52:42,873 --> 00:52:43,961
- Thank you.
- ...great evening.
1086
00:52:44,135 --> 00:52:45,571
Isn't it a beautiful evening?
1087
00:52:45,745 --> 00:52:47,660
It should have been
a two-hour verdict.
1088
00:52:47,834 --> 00:52:49,880
What can I tell you?
They're taking
their job seriously.
1089
00:52:50,054 --> 00:52:51,447
I gave them a lot
to think about.
1090
00:52:51,621 --> 00:52:53,927
Mmm. I got a mountain
of evidence.
1091
00:52:54,101 --> 00:52:55,668
You gave them
smoke and mirrors.
1092
00:52:55,842 --> 00:52:57,279
Where there's smoke,
there's fire.
1093
00:52:57,453 --> 00:53:01,326
[laughs] I admire
your optimism.
1094
00:53:01,500 --> 00:53:03,023
Look, here's the thing.
You walk into court
1095
00:53:03,197 --> 00:53:06,853
convinced of the guilt
of the defendant. Me, I...
1096
00:53:07,027 --> 00:53:08,377
I have no illusions
about what I do.
1097
00:53:08,551 --> 00:53:10,204
A lot of my clients are guilty,
1098
00:53:10,379 --> 00:53:13,120
and my job is to help make
the best of a bad situation.
1099
00:53:13,295 --> 00:53:15,209
But I'm telling you...
1100
00:53:15,384 --> 00:53:17,299
I'm telling you,
this guy didn't do it.
1101
00:53:20,302 --> 00:53:23,653
And the fact that the jury's
taking a little time
1102
00:53:23,827 --> 00:53:25,307
gives me hope
that things are working
1103
00:53:25,481 --> 00:53:26,699
the way they should.
1104
00:53:28,310 --> 00:53:32,139
Well... you enjoy that
while it lasts.
1105
00:53:35,317 --> 00:53:38,189
To the justice system.
1106
00:53:38,363 --> 00:53:41,323
It ain't perfect,
but it's the best we got.
1107
00:53:51,811 --> 00:53:53,117
- Hey.
- Hey.
1108
00:53:53,291 --> 00:53:55,075
I'm sorry again
about yesterday.
1109
00:53:55,249 --> 00:53:56,642
It's just that case
wearing on me.
1110
00:53:57,730 --> 00:53:58,905
I know. I can tell.
1111
00:53:59,079 --> 00:54:00,820
- Yeah.
- Trust your gut.
1112
00:54:00,994 --> 00:54:02,431
You'll do the right thing.
1113
00:54:02,605 --> 00:54:03,954
- [doorbell rings]
- Oh! Oh, Oh, wait.
1114
00:54:04,128 --> 00:54:05,303
- [kids laughing]
- Wait, wait, wait.
1115
00:54:09,568 --> 00:54:11,440
- What's that?
- It's my pitchfork.
1116
00:54:11,614 --> 00:54:13,180
- Nice!
- Yeah. Thanks.
1117
00:54:13,355 --> 00:54:14,617
- [laughs]
- Homemade.
1118
00:54:17,359 --> 00:54:19,622
- [kids] Trick or treat!
- Hey! Happy Halloween!
1119
00:54:19,796 --> 00:54:22,320
I love your costumes!
Take two, everyone.
1120
00:54:24,453 --> 00:54:25,323
Oliver?
1121
00:54:25,497 --> 00:54:27,107
Hey, Ms. Crewson.
1122
00:54:27,281 --> 00:54:30,023
Oliver, I didn't even
recognize you! How are you?
1123
00:54:30,197 --> 00:54:31,590
I'm good. Hi, Mr. Kemp.
1124
00:54:31,764 --> 00:54:33,244
Hey, how's the writing going?
1125
00:54:33,418 --> 00:54:35,072
- I'm on student paper now.
- No way. That's awesome.
1126
00:54:35,246 --> 00:54:36,595
- That's very cool.
- Congrats.
1127
00:54:36,769 --> 00:54:38,162
- Hey, have fun tonight.
- [Oliver] We will.
1128
00:54:38,336 --> 00:54:39,468
See you back at school?
1129
00:54:39,642 --> 00:54:40,991
- Yeah. Next year.
- [Oliver] Okay.
1130
00:54:41,165 --> 00:54:42,471
Well, bye.
1131
00:54:42,645 --> 00:54:44,211
- Bye!
- Keep it up!
1132
00:54:44,386 --> 00:54:46,300
- God, he's a giant.
- I know.
1133
00:54:46,475 --> 00:54:47,911
Happy Halloween.
1134
00:54:53,046 --> 00:54:54,047
Thanks.
1135
00:55:06,495 --> 00:55:07,931
- Hey.
- Hey.
1136
00:55:08,105 --> 00:55:10,803
Why'd you follow me
after court on Friday?
1137
00:55:10,977 --> 00:55:12,979
I picked your tail up,
like, halfway out of
the parking lot.
1138
00:55:13,153 --> 00:55:15,765
I mean, green Toyota
4Runner, right?
1139
00:55:15,939 --> 00:55:17,897
Uh, yeah, well, you're...
1140
00:55:18,071 --> 00:55:19,290
you're not allowed
to investigate the case
1141
00:55:19,464 --> 00:55:20,639
outside the jury room.
1142
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,642
Yeah. Yeah, I know.
1143
00:55:23,816 --> 00:55:27,254
But... I mean,
somebody's got to.
1144
00:55:27,429 --> 00:55:28,734
Don't you want to know
what really happened?
1145
00:55:28,908 --> 00:55:30,562
Yeah. Of course.
1146
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,130
Look, I, uh...
1147
00:55:33,304 --> 00:55:34,261
I did some digging.
1148
00:55:36,394 --> 00:55:38,135
This is every registered car
in the county
1149
00:55:38,309 --> 00:55:39,789
that was in for body work
1150
00:55:39,963 --> 00:55:41,486
between October 26th
and the end of last year.
1151
00:55:41,660 --> 00:55:43,053
You're still about
the hit-and-run?
Come on, it's--
1152
00:55:43,227 --> 00:55:44,924
Yeah, because that's
a really good theory.
1153
00:55:45,098 --> 00:55:47,753
Now, the automakers
keep a detailed list
1154
00:55:47,927 --> 00:55:50,713
of these repairs
strictly for R and D purposes.
1155
00:55:50,887 --> 00:55:53,193
They collect it
from the dealers pro forma
1156
00:55:53,367 --> 00:55:55,500
and then pay the mom-and-pop
shops under the table.
1157
00:55:55,674 --> 00:55:56,893
My partner and I
recovered more cars
1158
00:55:57,067 --> 00:55:58,547
than an impound this way.
1159
00:55:58,721 --> 00:56:00,897
Right. But there must be
hundreds of cars in there.
1160
00:56:01,071 --> 00:56:02,899
Yeah, so process
of elimination,
1161
00:56:03,073 --> 00:56:05,771
which is what I spent
my whole weekend doing.
1162
00:56:05,945 --> 00:56:08,252
I mean, anything there's
already a police report for,
1163
00:56:08,426 --> 00:56:09,340
crossed off the list.
1164
00:56:09,514 --> 00:56:11,255
Mmm.
1165
00:56:11,429 --> 00:56:12,778
And there's only going to be
a very specific kind of damage
1166
00:56:12,952 --> 00:56:13,910
with this kind of hit-and-run.
1167
00:56:14,084 --> 00:56:17,130
So a headlight, grille, hood.
1168
00:56:17,304 --> 00:56:19,785
- Yeah.
- I narrowed it down
to 15 vehicles
1169
00:56:19,959 --> 00:56:21,831
that match that description
on this list,
1170
00:56:22,005 --> 00:56:23,310
one of which, by the way,
1171
00:56:23,485 --> 00:56:26,444
a '96 Toyota 4Runner,
Forest Green.
1172
00:56:26,618 --> 00:56:29,186
I mean, that's the exact
same car as yours, right?
1173
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,579
I mean, if that is your car,
1174
00:56:30,753 --> 00:56:32,668
we can just cross it
off the list.
1175
00:56:32,842 --> 00:56:36,106
Right. Yeah.
So what's the plan?
1176
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,325
Well, if you
don't mind helping,
1177
00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:39,892
there's only so many
hours in the day,
1178
00:56:40,066 --> 00:56:41,415
and we got to spend
most of them here.
1179
00:56:41,590 --> 00:56:42,765
So you want to help me
with the legwork,
1180
00:56:42,939 --> 00:56:44,375
and see if we can find our guy.
1181
00:56:44,549 --> 00:56:46,943
Yeah. Okay. You know,
you're reaching, but...
1182
00:56:47,117 --> 00:56:48,466
Look, I...
It's a hit-and-run, kid.
1183
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,033
I feel it in my bones.
1184
00:56:50,207 --> 00:56:52,252
Dollars to doughnuts,
our guy is on this list.
1185
00:56:52,426 --> 00:56:56,126
[bailiff] Oh, good morning.
Party time, y'all, let's go.
1186
00:56:58,694 --> 00:57:00,043
Fellas, wrap it up.
1187
00:57:00,217 --> 00:57:01,435
Thanks.
1188
00:57:04,308 --> 00:57:05,309
[bailiff] Let's go.
1189
00:57:07,703 --> 00:57:08,617
God damn it!
1190
00:57:08,791 --> 00:57:10,793
[grunts] Hmm.
1191
00:57:10,967 --> 00:57:12,316
Everything all right over here?
1192
00:57:12,490 --> 00:57:13,796
[Justin] Mmm?
1193
00:57:13,970 --> 00:57:15,145
[bailiff] Y'all working
my nerve today.
1194
00:57:17,016 --> 00:57:18,235
What is all this?
1195
00:57:23,022 --> 00:57:25,242
Just... You two, wait for me.
1196
00:57:27,636 --> 00:57:30,769
Read instruction
0.01 for me, please.
1197
00:57:34,817 --> 00:57:36,296
Uh...
1198
00:57:36,470 --> 00:57:37,776
"To maintain the integrity
of the jury system,
1199
00:57:37,950 --> 00:57:39,735
I remind you that you must
decide this case
1200
00:57:39,909 --> 00:57:41,867
based only on the evidence
admitted during the trial
1201
00:57:42,041 --> 00:57:44,000
and the law
I will explain to you.
1202
00:57:44,174 --> 00:57:45,654
You may not conduct
any research
1203
00:57:45,828 --> 00:57:47,569
on your own about this case
1204
00:57:47,743 --> 00:57:50,354
or about any people or places
mentioned during the trial."
1205
00:57:50,528 --> 00:57:52,051
Sounds to me
like you two violated
1206
00:57:52,225 --> 00:57:53,749
every sentence
of that paragraph.
1207
00:57:53,923 --> 00:57:55,185
Your Honor,
I move for a mistrial.
1208
00:57:55,359 --> 00:57:56,882
He's a former cop.
1209
00:57:57,056 --> 00:57:58,492
Who knows what ideas
he put in the jury's heads.
1210
00:57:58,667 --> 00:58:00,407
Failure to elicit
his previous employment
1211
00:58:00,582 --> 00:58:03,367
during voir dire
is on you, Mr. Resnick.
1212
00:58:03,541 --> 00:58:05,108
[Eric] It's misconduct.
1213
00:58:05,282 --> 00:58:06,849
Kick him off, Judge.
There's no need to start over.
1214
00:58:07,023 --> 00:58:09,329
Our resources are already
stretched so thin.
1215
00:58:12,419 --> 00:58:14,204
She's right. Motion denied.
1216
00:58:14,378 --> 00:58:15,727
Your Honor. You know...
1217
00:58:16,554 --> 00:58:17,816
As for you two...
1218
00:58:20,558 --> 00:58:22,255
You violated
your oath as jurors.
1219
00:58:24,954 --> 00:58:26,390
Your Honor...
1220
00:58:26,564 --> 00:58:27,957
if I may. I, uh...
1221
00:58:28,131 --> 00:58:30,524
I upheld the oath I took
as a police officer
1222
00:58:30,699 --> 00:58:32,614
to never betray my character,
1223
00:58:32,788 --> 00:58:35,138
my integrity,
or the public trust.
1224
00:58:40,709 --> 00:58:42,841
Mr. Chicowski, [sighs]
1225
00:58:43,015 --> 00:58:45,061
you are hereby removed
from Jury Service.
1226
00:58:47,019 --> 00:58:47,977
On account of your background,
1227
00:58:48,151 --> 00:58:49,456
I'm going to make an exception
1228
00:58:49,631 --> 00:58:52,198
and not find you
in contempt of court.
1229
00:58:53,547 --> 00:58:54,810
Thank you, Your Honor.
1230
00:58:56,333 --> 00:58:57,987
So Mr. Kemp,
1231
00:58:58,161 --> 00:59:00,163
you are not a retired
law enforcement officer,
are you?
1232
00:59:00,337 --> 00:59:01,991
No. No, Your Honor.
1233
00:59:02,165 --> 00:59:03,514
So how do you explain
1234
00:59:03,688 --> 00:59:07,431
your involvement
in this transgression?
1235
00:59:07,605 --> 00:59:10,129
I obtained those documents
on my own, Your Honor.
1236
00:59:10,303 --> 00:59:12,175
He didn't have anything
to do with it.
1237
00:59:13,350 --> 00:59:14,481
Is that true?
1238
00:59:14,656 --> 00:59:15,961
Mmm.
1239
00:59:16,135 --> 00:59:17,659
I mean, did you look
at these documents
1240
00:59:17,833 --> 00:59:19,443
or help to procure them
1241
00:59:19,617 --> 00:59:22,011
or know what Mr. Chicowski
was intending to do?
1242
00:59:22,185 --> 00:59:24,448
No, Your Honor.
I did not look at them
1243
00:59:24,622 --> 00:59:25,754
and I didn't help.
1244
00:59:27,973 --> 00:59:30,019
So do you think
that you can disregard
1245
00:59:30,193 --> 00:59:32,021
everything that
you heard just now
1246
00:59:32,195 --> 00:59:34,501
and remain an unbiased
member of this panel?
1247
00:59:34,676 --> 00:59:35,938
Yes, I can.
1248
00:59:37,722 --> 00:59:39,985
I'm going to take you
at your word.
1249
00:59:40,159 --> 00:59:43,641
Bailiff, please escort Mr. Kemp
back to the juror room.
1250
00:59:45,295 --> 00:59:49,212
Mr. Chicowski,
you are dismissed.
1251
00:59:49,386 --> 00:59:51,257
Your Honor, I would ask
that a copy of these documents
1252
00:59:51,431 --> 00:59:52,781
be made part
of the court's records
1253
00:59:52,955 --> 00:59:54,130
for purposes of appeal.
1254
00:59:54,304 --> 00:59:56,436
And again,
I move for a mistrial.
1255
00:59:56,610 --> 00:59:59,701
The documents will be marked
as court's Exhibit One.
1256
00:59:59,875 --> 01:00:03,922
Your motion for a mistrial
is denied, Mr. Resnick.
1257
01:00:04,096 --> 01:00:06,533
Is that understood?
1258
01:00:06,708 --> 01:00:09,319
Yes, Your Honor.
It's understood.
1259
01:00:09,493 --> 01:00:11,974
Good. Then we are done here.
1260
01:00:20,460 --> 01:00:22,245
- You got to be kidding me.
- What?
1261
01:00:22,419 --> 01:00:24,421
"Our resources
are stretched so thin"?
1262
01:00:25,509 --> 01:00:26,553
You are something.
1263
01:00:30,383 --> 01:00:31,384
Okay.
1264
01:00:33,517 --> 01:00:34,561
[sighs]
1265
01:00:38,522 --> 01:00:39,958
Counselor.
1266
01:00:40,132 --> 01:00:41,133
Hey, it's okay.
I'm not on the jury anymore.
1267
01:00:41,307 --> 01:00:42,395
- You don't have to...
- Yeah.
1268
01:00:42,569 --> 01:00:44,006
Yeah, made sure of that.
1269
01:00:44,833 --> 01:00:45,834
[sighs]
1270
01:00:47,052 --> 01:00:48,227
Feeling the pressure, huh?
1271
01:00:49,185 --> 01:00:51,535
In this job? Nah.
1272
01:00:51,709 --> 01:00:54,712
- [both chuckle]
- Yeah. Okay.
1273
01:01:02,372 --> 01:01:03,765
Hey, I'm...
Sorry, but I just...
1274
01:01:03,939 --> 01:01:05,897
I can't not say this. You...
1275
01:01:07,594 --> 01:01:09,945
[sighs] You got this case
all wrong.
1276
01:01:11,033 --> 01:01:12,861
- Oh, really?
- Yeah.
1277
01:01:13,035 --> 01:01:14,166
It's a hit-and-run.
1278
01:01:14,340 --> 01:01:16,516
No way.
ME would have flagged it.
1279
01:01:16,690 --> 01:01:18,910
Well, yeah, you'd think.
1280
01:01:19,084 --> 01:01:21,260
That guy did
five autopsies that day.
1281
01:01:21,434 --> 01:01:23,523
One day. I checked.
1282
01:01:23,697 --> 01:01:25,003
Doesn't mean anything.
1283
01:01:29,921 --> 01:01:32,184
Let me just ask you one thing.
1284
01:01:32,358 --> 01:01:34,534
Did you guys ever look
at any other suspect?
1285
01:01:36,536 --> 01:01:38,756
We did our job.
1286
01:01:38,930 --> 01:01:40,845
All due respect, Counselor,
if you'd have done your job,
1287
01:01:41,019 --> 01:01:42,499
I don't think we'd be
standing here right now.
1288
01:01:42,673 --> 01:01:44,544
Well, that guy is bad news.
1289
01:01:46,982 --> 01:01:47,939
Maybe.
1290
01:01:50,376 --> 01:01:51,813
But he didn't kill that girl.
1291
01:01:55,207 --> 01:01:56,992
[pensive music playing]
1292
01:02:08,786 --> 01:02:10,092
[bailiff] All right.
So with that being said,
1293
01:02:10,266 --> 01:02:12,398
Judge Stewart thanks you
for your patience
1294
01:02:12,572 --> 01:02:15,097
and apologizes
for any inconvenience.
1295
01:02:15,271 --> 01:02:18,535
Juror number 13 is now
a voting member of this panel.
1296
01:02:19,188 --> 01:02:20,319
Okay.
1297
01:02:20,493 --> 01:02:22,234
I'll let you guys
get back to it.
1298
01:02:25,934 --> 01:02:27,674
So what happened?
1299
01:02:27,849 --> 01:02:29,981
What was this misconduct?
1300
01:02:30,155 --> 01:02:31,853
Uh, that's between
him and the judge.
1301
01:02:32,027 --> 01:02:34,159
Bullshit. You were there.
1302
01:02:34,333 --> 01:02:35,639
What did Harold do?
1303
01:02:37,249 --> 01:02:40,296
He was investigating
the case on his own.
1304
01:02:40,470 --> 01:02:41,471
The judge sent him home.
1305
01:02:42,951 --> 01:02:44,387
What about
that stack of papers?
1306
01:02:44,561 --> 01:02:45,518
What papers?
1307
01:02:45,692 --> 01:02:47,346
The ones Harold gave to him.
1308
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,218
You dropped them
all over the floor.
We all saw it.
1309
01:02:49,392 --> 01:02:52,438
The bailiff was on us before
I looked at the papers, so...
1310
01:02:52,612 --> 01:02:54,527
You were talking
for quite a while.
1311
01:02:54,701 --> 01:02:56,529
Did he tell you
what was in them?
1312
01:02:58,575 --> 01:03:00,359
Okay, yes, he did. It...
1313
01:03:00,533 --> 01:03:03,493
It was a printout.
Names, vehicle registrations...
1314
01:03:03,667 --> 01:03:06,235
He said that it could prove
1315
01:03:06,409 --> 01:03:07,366
James Sythe's innocence.
1316
01:03:07,540 --> 01:03:09,499
- [all murmuring]
- So what?
1317
01:03:09,673 --> 01:03:10,804
Are we just supposed
to believe you now
1318
01:03:10,979 --> 01:03:12,154
and change our vote?
1319
01:03:12,328 --> 01:03:13,416
No, I'm just telling you
what I know.
1320
01:03:15,548 --> 01:03:17,159
He thinks it was a hit-and-run.
1321
01:03:49,843 --> 01:03:52,890
So if he thinks
it was a hit-and-run...
1322
01:03:57,373 --> 01:03:59,027
Kendall was 5'5".
1323
01:03:59,897 --> 01:04:03,118
If she was hunched over,
1324
01:04:03,292 --> 01:04:06,382
and the car was
an SUV or a truck,
1325
01:04:06,556 --> 01:04:08,079
she could have easily
have been hit
1326
01:04:08,253 --> 01:04:09,994
smack across
the head and torso.
1327
01:04:12,475 --> 01:04:14,999
Look at the way
her shoulders are fractured.
1328
01:04:15,173 --> 01:04:17,219
Well, I'm sorry,
but are you a doctor?
1329
01:04:18,611 --> 01:04:21,266
Not yet.
Third-year med student.
1330
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:22,964
I... I mean,
1331
01:04:23,138 --> 01:04:24,748
I think we should leave
that to the professionals,
1332
01:04:24,922 --> 01:04:26,663
the medical examiner who,
you know, examined the body.
1333
01:04:26,837 --> 01:04:29,492
Well, I mean,
doctors can be careless.
1334
01:04:29,666 --> 01:04:31,711
One time they told my dad
he was having a heart attack.
1335
01:04:31,885 --> 01:04:33,757
Turned out it was just gas.
1336
01:04:33,931 --> 01:04:36,412
[chuckles] They're always
in such a rush.
1337
01:04:36,586 --> 01:04:38,414
Go ahead, dear.
Speak your mind.
1338
01:04:42,548 --> 01:04:46,204
The right and left clavicle
both show a very clean break.
1339
01:04:46,378 --> 01:04:47,684
Can you pass this around?
1340
01:04:49,555 --> 01:04:50,904
She couldn't get that
from the fall?
1341
01:04:51,905 --> 01:04:53,559
It's not likely.
1342
01:04:53,733 --> 01:04:58,347
Both bones had to be broken
by a single,
1343
01:04:58,521 --> 01:05:01,002
sharp, posterior impact.
1344
01:05:02,568 --> 01:05:04,440
Pow.
1345
01:05:04,614 --> 01:05:07,530
Do we know if Sythe's car
had any damage?
1346
01:05:09,271 --> 01:05:10,489
No. The police
would have noted it
1347
01:05:10,663 --> 01:05:11,969
in their report if it did.
1348
01:05:12,143 --> 01:05:13,405
Not if they thought
it was irrelevant.
1349
01:05:13,579 --> 01:05:15,581
[scoffs] Cops hate paperwork.
1350
01:05:15,755 --> 01:05:17,409
So you're some kind
of secret cop now, too?
1351
01:05:17,583 --> 01:05:19,890
[laughs] No. I'm a dog groomer,
1352
01:05:20,064 --> 01:05:22,719
but I watch and listen
to a lot of true crime,
1353
01:05:22,893 --> 01:05:24,764
and the first rule
is the husband did it.
1354
01:05:25,765 --> 01:05:27,245
Okay, well,
1355
01:05:27,419 --> 01:05:29,204
husband, boyfriend.
Same difference.
1356
01:05:29,378 --> 01:05:30,857
You agree
that he's guilty, right?
1357
01:05:31,032 --> 01:05:32,120
He is the perfect suspect.
1358
01:05:32,294 --> 01:05:33,512
[King] All right. Thank you.
1359
01:05:33,686 --> 01:05:34,992
But the second rule
of true crime
1360
01:05:35,166 --> 01:05:37,342
is that it's never
the perfect suspect.
1361
01:05:38,213 --> 01:05:39,518
Oh, my God.
1362
01:05:39,692 --> 01:05:42,391
I'm just sharing with you
my experiences.
1363
01:05:42,565 --> 01:05:45,524
Your experiences?
Listening to crime podcasts.
1364
01:05:45,698 --> 01:05:47,526
Well, hold on.
And watching Dateline.
1365
01:05:47,700 --> 01:05:50,094
Okay. Well, that doesn't
make you Sherlock Holmes.
1366
01:05:50,268 --> 01:05:51,617
Oh, thank you. [laughs]
1367
01:05:51,791 --> 01:05:53,663
No, you burn
through enough cases,
1368
01:05:53,837 --> 01:05:56,405
and you start to see
certain patterns.
1369
01:05:56,579 --> 01:05:58,450
But I leave the detective work
to the forum lawyers.
1370
01:05:58,624 --> 01:06:00,061
Okay, good. Good.
1371
01:06:00,235 --> 01:06:01,714
Because we're not here
to solve a mystery, okay?
1372
01:06:01,888 --> 01:06:03,847
All we're here to do
is decide if we're positive
1373
01:06:04,021 --> 01:06:06,763
James Sythe killed
Kendall Carter. That's it.
1374
01:06:06,937 --> 01:06:07,807
- [woman 2] May I?
- Oh.
1375
01:06:07,981 --> 01:06:08,982
[med student] I'm not.
1376
01:06:10,984 --> 01:06:13,726
Old Quarry Road
feeds into the highway.
1377
01:06:13,900 --> 01:06:16,599
When traffic's heavy,
GPS will send you that way.
1378
01:06:16,773 --> 01:06:18,122
It gets busy.
1379
01:06:18,296 --> 01:06:20,603
Yeah, and at night,
I mean, it's gnarly.
1380
01:06:20,777 --> 01:06:23,214
I nearly mowed down
a deer once.
1381
01:06:23,388 --> 01:06:24,781
[man] What if that's what
they thought?
1382
01:06:25,738 --> 01:06:26,870
[Aldworth] Who thought?
1383
01:06:29,133 --> 01:06:30,569
Whoever hit Kendall Carter.
1384
01:06:33,181 --> 01:06:34,834
Yeah, man. I mean,
that all makes sense,
1385
01:06:35,008 --> 01:06:37,141
but, you know, what about
our eyewitness?
1386
01:06:39,100 --> 01:06:40,492
Maybe he saw someone else?
1387
01:06:40,666 --> 01:06:42,103
Okay, hold up. Wait a minute.
1388
01:06:42,277 --> 01:06:44,322
Y'all got way too many
"maybes" for my liking.
1389
01:06:44,496 --> 01:06:47,369
Yeah, and too many maybes
is reasonable doubt.
1390
01:06:47,543 --> 01:06:48,587
[man] I agree with Justin.
1391
01:06:49,936 --> 01:06:50,937
Yeah.
1392
01:06:52,809 --> 01:06:54,202
Okay. Keiko?
1393
01:06:58,641 --> 01:06:59,642
Nellie?
1394
01:07:01,557 --> 01:07:04,951
I'm not sure any more that
this young man is guilty.
1395
01:07:05,126 --> 01:07:07,128
Right. Okay. Anyone else?
1396
01:07:08,564 --> 01:07:09,434
Not guilty.
1397
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,523
Okay.
1398
01:07:11,697 --> 01:07:13,743
[suspenseful music playing]
1399
01:07:17,921 --> 01:07:19,270
[sighs softly]
1400
01:07:19,444 --> 01:07:21,620
[man grunting]
1401
01:07:21,794 --> 01:07:25,276
I fell asleep on Highway 17
and woke up in a ditch.
1402
01:07:25,450 --> 01:07:26,930
Thank God the hospital
was close.
1403
01:07:28,497 --> 01:07:30,890
Hmm. Okay.
1404
01:07:32,892 --> 01:07:34,067
Thank you for your time.
1405
01:07:34,242 --> 01:07:36,461
[man] Yep.
1406
01:07:36,635 --> 01:07:38,724
Yeah, we were street racing
down Greek Row.
1407
01:07:38,898 --> 01:07:40,030
It was dumb. I know.
1408
01:07:46,297 --> 01:07:47,298
[chuckles softly]
1409
01:07:49,909 --> 01:07:50,954
[sighs]
1410
01:08:08,058 --> 01:08:09,059
Guilty.
1411
01:08:10,930 --> 01:08:11,931
Guilty.
1412
01:08:15,413 --> 01:08:16,501
Not guilty.
1413
01:08:18,895 --> 01:08:20,026
Not guilty.
1414
01:08:23,639 --> 01:08:24,596
Guilty.
1415
01:08:26,381 --> 01:08:28,731
All right. It looks like
we're six to six.
1416
01:08:29,688 --> 01:08:30,994
We're deadlocked.
1417
01:08:31,168 --> 01:08:32,648
Okay, so what do we do now?
1418
01:08:32,822 --> 01:08:35,564
Feels like the more we talk,
the less we know.
1419
01:08:35,738 --> 01:08:38,088
I'm so tired.
1420
01:08:38,262 --> 01:08:41,004
You're so stoned, dear.
1421
01:08:41,178 --> 01:08:42,788
- [mouthing]
- Let's go back
to the beginning.
1422
01:08:42,962 --> 01:08:44,790
Build a case piece by piece.
1423
01:08:44,964 --> 01:08:47,967
No, no. Let's stop
wasting our damn time.
1424
01:08:48,141 --> 01:08:50,927
How about we all just
take a breath. It's...
1425
01:08:51,101 --> 01:08:52,537
It's been a long day,
but, you know, votes...
1426
01:08:52,711 --> 01:08:53,799
votes have changed, right?
1427
01:08:53,973 --> 01:08:55,366
The process is working.
1428
01:08:55,540 --> 01:08:58,195
[woman] No, it's not.
You are wearing us down.
1429
01:08:58,369 --> 01:09:01,067
Talking a lot,
but saying nothing.
1430
01:09:01,242 --> 01:09:03,418
I mean, hell, you go over
anything enough times,
1431
01:09:03,592 --> 01:09:05,071
yeah, we'll start
to question it.
1432
01:09:05,246 --> 01:09:07,465
Yeah. Like which shoes to wear.
1433
01:09:07,639 --> 01:09:09,859
Yeah. Look... [sighs]
1434
01:09:10,033 --> 01:09:12,731
We got all these theories,
y'all, but no new evidence.
1435
01:09:12,905 --> 01:09:14,516
Well, yeah, but those
theories are making
1436
01:09:14,690 --> 01:09:16,387
some of us question
James Sythe's guilt.
1437
01:09:16,561 --> 01:09:19,129
No. No, no. You can
question it all you want,
1438
01:09:19,303 --> 01:09:21,392
but I know he's guilty.
1439
01:09:22,915 --> 01:09:24,439
Just look at his damn neck.
1440
01:09:26,441 --> 01:09:28,138
Hey, my man. I know you
got a picture of him
1441
01:09:28,312 --> 01:09:29,270
in that book of yours.
1442
01:09:31,315 --> 01:09:34,536
I mean, yeah,
but it's not perfect, but...
1443
01:09:35,885 --> 01:09:38,017
Yes. See? Right there.
1444
01:09:38,191 --> 01:09:40,150
Snake and a crown.
1445
01:09:40,324 --> 01:09:41,760
That's the West Side Crowns.
1446
01:09:41,934 --> 01:09:44,459
They're the biggest
drug pushers in the city.
1447
01:09:44,633 --> 01:09:45,851
How do you know that?
1448
01:09:46,025 --> 01:09:48,201
Because I run
the Boys and Girls Club.
1449
01:09:48,376 --> 01:09:51,292
These guys are poisoning
their own community.
1450
01:09:54,469 --> 01:09:55,644
This case is personal to you.
1451
01:09:55,818 --> 01:09:57,123
Yeah, well, you're
damn right it is.
1452
01:10:00,997 --> 01:10:04,435
My little brother was 14
1453
01:10:04,609 --> 01:10:05,871
when he got inked.
1454
01:10:08,526 --> 01:10:11,921
A month before
his 17th birthday,
he was dead.
1455
01:10:12,095 --> 01:10:13,792
Caught a stray bullet
in some...
1456
01:10:15,011 --> 01:10:17,579
tit-for-tat turf bullshit.
1457
01:10:20,059 --> 01:10:22,148
I'm sorry. I had no idea.
1458
01:10:22,323 --> 01:10:25,021
Yeah, that's right.
You have no idea.
1459
01:10:28,590 --> 01:10:33,638
Look, Sythe did say
that he left that life behind.
1460
01:10:33,812 --> 01:10:35,727
There's only one way
to leave that crew.
1461
01:10:37,860 --> 01:10:39,209
So...
1462
01:10:39,383 --> 01:10:42,299
You can keep talking
about your theories.
1463
01:10:42,473 --> 01:10:44,040
Look, people can change.
1464
01:10:44,214 --> 01:10:45,346
[King] Yeah.
Keep telling yourself that.
1465
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:46,651
I... I do. Every day.
1466
01:10:46,825 --> 01:10:48,697
Well, I drive a bus,
1467
01:10:48,871 --> 01:10:50,568
and I see the same people
day in and day out,
1468
01:10:50,742 --> 01:10:52,048
and they do not change.
1469
01:10:52,222 --> 01:10:54,529
Well, then how
am I sitting here?
1470
01:10:54,703 --> 01:10:55,704
What are you talking about?
1471
01:10:55,878 --> 01:10:56,835
I should be dead.
1472
01:10:57,967 --> 01:10:58,837
I should...
1473
01:11:00,186 --> 01:11:02,275
A little over four years ago,
1474
01:11:02,450 --> 01:11:03,712
I wrapped my car around a tree
1475
01:11:03,886 --> 01:11:05,801
with a blood alcohol
level that,
1476
01:11:05,975 --> 01:11:07,237
you know, probably
should have killed me
1477
01:11:07,411 --> 01:11:08,543
before I even got in the car
1478
01:11:08,717 --> 01:11:11,284
and somehow... [clears throat]
1479
01:11:11,459 --> 01:11:12,764
walked away
with barely a scratch.
1480
01:11:12,938 --> 01:11:14,287
[King] Mmm. Lucky you.
1481
01:11:14,462 --> 01:11:16,115
[Justin] Yeah. Yeah,
part of my sentence
1482
01:11:16,289 --> 01:11:17,813
was community service.
1483
01:11:17,987 --> 01:11:19,075
I spent three days a week
in an elementary school
1484
01:11:19,249 --> 01:11:21,164
teaching kids how to write.
1485
01:11:21,338 --> 01:11:24,907
Uh... Alcoholics,
we can charm anybody.
1486
01:11:25,081 --> 01:11:27,518
But the teacher
I was reporting to,
1487
01:11:27,692 --> 01:11:28,911
I mean, she was Teflon.
1488
01:11:29,085 --> 01:11:30,956
She saw right through me.
1489
01:11:31,130 --> 01:11:32,741
And she...
1490
01:11:32,915 --> 01:11:35,483
She made me finally want to,
you know, own my shit
1491
01:11:35,657 --> 01:11:38,355
and just take
responsibility for myself.
1492
01:11:40,705 --> 01:11:41,663
I'm... [clears throat]
1493
01:11:41,837 --> 01:11:43,186
I'm still not sure what I did
1494
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:44,709
to get a woman like her
to give me a chance.
1495
01:11:44,883 --> 01:11:48,539
But her belief
and believing in myself,
1496
01:11:48,713 --> 01:11:51,020
that I could change,
that was...
1497
01:11:51,194 --> 01:11:53,109
That was, you know,
the first step.
1498
01:11:54,153 --> 01:11:55,546
And...
1499
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,113
Look, the, uh...
1500
01:11:57,287 --> 01:11:59,507
the journey never ends,
I know that...
1501
01:11:59,681 --> 01:12:00,725
But...
1502
01:12:02,074 --> 01:12:02,988
that's...
1503
01:12:04,207 --> 01:12:05,817
that's four years.
1504
01:12:05,991 --> 01:12:08,864
And am I the same man
that I was four years ago? No.
1505
01:12:09,778 --> 01:12:10,996
Absolutely not.
1506
01:12:11,170 --> 01:12:12,607
Yeah, well...
1507
01:12:12,781 --> 01:12:14,435
Now I can see... [chuckles]
1508
01:12:15,653 --> 01:12:16,698
You changed.
1509
01:12:17,916 --> 01:12:19,744
But guys like James Sythe,
1510
01:12:20,658 --> 01:12:22,312
they don't change.
1511
01:12:22,486 --> 01:12:24,706
Okay. Think back
to his testimony.
1512
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:28,492
That was raw and real,
and I believed it.
1513
01:12:28,666 --> 01:12:30,625
Wait, hold on, gang.
1514
01:12:30,799 --> 01:12:32,670
If Sythe didn't do it,
then who did?
1515
01:12:32,844 --> 01:12:34,803
We don't have to answer that.
1516
01:12:34,977 --> 01:12:36,587
So no one's going to pay for
what happened to that girl?
1517
01:12:36,761 --> 01:12:39,068
- No, someone will pay.
- How do you know that?
1518
01:12:39,242 --> 01:12:40,678
Because somebody
always does. Look...
1519
01:12:40,852 --> 01:12:42,158
Look, I get how you feel,
1520
01:12:42,332 --> 01:12:44,943
but you can't let
your feelings sway you.
1521
01:12:45,117 --> 01:12:46,641
You don't know
anything about me, man.
1522
01:12:46,815 --> 01:12:47,859
All right.
1523
01:12:50,906 --> 01:12:52,995
How... how old's your daughter?
1524
01:12:53,169 --> 01:12:54,562
That's her
on the key chain, right?
1525
01:12:57,434 --> 01:12:59,131
Yeah. She, um...
1526
01:12:59,305 --> 01:13:01,394
She turned 16 in March.
1527
01:13:01,569 --> 01:13:02,787
How often do you
get to see her?
1528
01:13:05,355 --> 01:13:07,052
Not often enough.
1529
01:13:07,226 --> 01:13:09,751
You know, during the trial,
I was sat
1530
01:13:09,925 --> 01:13:11,448
right in Kendall's
parents' eyeline.
1531
01:13:11,622 --> 01:13:12,667
I could see...
1532
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:15,974
I mean, their pain each day.
1533
01:13:16,148 --> 01:13:18,368
And, you know, what if
she were your daughter?
1534
01:13:19,282 --> 01:13:20,631
[stammers]
1535
01:13:20,805 --> 01:13:22,590
You want justice, right?
An eye for an eye.
1536
01:13:22,764 --> 01:13:24,505
Right. Yeah.
1537
01:13:24,679 --> 01:13:26,332
But then James Sythe's family
was in court each day, too.
1538
01:13:26,507 --> 01:13:27,899
You know, his grandma
and his niece.
1539
01:13:28,073 --> 01:13:29,771
Uh...
1540
01:13:29,945 --> 01:13:31,860
What if he were
your son, right?
1541
01:13:33,514 --> 01:13:34,863
Wouldn't you want justice
for him, too?
1542
01:13:37,343 --> 01:13:39,737
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose, I would.
1543
01:13:41,217 --> 01:13:42,305
[Robinson sighs]
1544
01:13:51,270 --> 01:13:53,229
[suspenseful music playing]
1545
01:14:18,384 --> 01:14:19,342
[engine roars]
1546
01:14:19,516 --> 01:14:20,561
[sighs]
1547
01:14:28,046 --> 01:14:30,005
So how can I help you?
1548
01:14:30,179 --> 01:14:31,484
Well, I just want
to have a little chat
1549
01:14:31,659 --> 01:14:32,921
about what happened here.
1550
01:14:33,095 --> 01:14:34,618
Just have a little one on one.
1551
01:14:34,792 --> 01:14:36,098
Maybe I could get
some more information
1552
01:14:36,272 --> 01:14:39,362
if something came to you
new, you know?
1553
01:14:39,536 --> 01:14:43,279
Well, like I said at the trial,
the police come by.
1554
01:14:43,453 --> 01:14:44,933
Showed me a picture,
1555
01:14:45,107 --> 01:14:46,587
asked me if he was the man
I saw that night.
1556
01:14:46,761 --> 01:14:49,111
Mmm. They show you
any other pictures?
1557
01:14:49,285 --> 01:14:50,939
Oh, no. They knew it was him.
1558
01:14:51,113 --> 01:14:53,681
They... They just needed me
to confirm it.
1559
01:14:53,855 --> 01:14:54,986
Right.
1560
01:14:56,031 --> 01:14:57,249
I was happy to do so.
1561
01:14:57,423 --> 01:15:00,209
I mean, everyone
was so generous.
1562
01:15:00,383 --> 01:15:03,212
And if I could say so,
it felt pretty good
1563
01:15:03,386 --> 01:15:05,693
- to be needed again.
- Mmm.
1564
01:15:06,476 --> 01:15:08,260
I'm sure it did.
1565
01:15:08,434 --> 01:15:10,349
All right. Well,
if there's anything else
I can do for you,
1566
01:15:10,523 --> 01:15:12,700
just give a holler.
Tea is always hot.
1567
01:15:12,874 --> 01:15:14,179
[chuckles] Okay.
Thank you so much.
1568
01:15:14,353 --> 01:15:15,267
Thanks for your time, sir.
1569
01:15:15,441 --> 01:15:16,747
Uh, James Sythe...
1570
01:15:19,663 --> 01:15:21,883
He did kill that girl, right?
1571
01:15:26,670 --> 01:15:27,932
[exhales]
1572
01:15:30,587 --> 01:15:33,503
Okay, so does anybody else
want to change their vote?
1573
01:15:33,677 --> 01:15:35,070
[chuckles]
1574
01:15:35,984 --> 01:15:37,333
Uh, well...
1575
01:15:39,161 --> 01:15:40,162
It doesn't matter anyway.
1576
01:15:40,336 --> 01:15:42,033
[Aldworth] What do you mean?
1577
01:15:42,207 --> 01:15:44,645
Because I haven't
changed my mind.
1578
01:15:44,819 --> 01:15:45,950
All right, well,
let's just keep talking.
1579
01:15:46,124 --> 01:15:49,214
No, no, I'm done talking.
1580
01:15:49,911 --> 01:15:51,347
Marcus.
1581
01:15:51,521 --> 01:15:54,480
So what? You're gonna
tell the judge, we...
1582
01:15:54,655 --> 01:15:56,657
we can't reach a verdict?
1583
01:15:56,831 --> 01:15:58,484
[woman] It is what it is.
1584
01:15:58,659 --> 01:16:00,312
But we're actually
making progress.
1585
01:16:00,486 --> 01:16:03,402
- [scoffs] Progress?
- Yeah.
1586
01:16:03,576 --> 01:16:05,796
How can we continue if we
can't even reach a verdict?
1587
01:16:05,970 --> 01:16:08,494
We've been at this for
I don't even know how long.
1588
01:16:09,321 --> 01:16:10,583
My kids need me.
1589
01:16:12,411 --> 01:16:14,022
I'm just trying
to do my job here.
1590
01:16:15,197 --> 01:16:17,721
Okay? Um...
1591
01:16:17,895 --> 01:16:19,810
Courtney, what about you?
Do you want to keep going?
1592
01:16:19,984 --> 01:16:22,508
I don't know.
Look, he yelled at her.
1593
01:16:22,683 --> 01:16:25,294
He grabbed her arm.
He called her a bitch.
1594
01:16:25,468 --> 01:16:27,557
He was possessive
and temperamental.
1595
01:16:27,731 --> 01:16:30,560
No, he was abusive. Screw him.
1596
01:16:31,779 --> 01:16:33,519
Yeah. You're right.
1597
01:16:34,346 --> 01:16:35,652
Screw him.
1598
01:16:35,826 --> 01:16:37,610
Great. [chuckles]
For the third time,
1599
01:16:37,785 --> 01:16:38,960
I get to go home
and tell my husband,
1600
01:16:39,134 --> 01:16:40,048
"Guess what, honey?
1601
01:16:40,222 --> 01:16:42,485
[laughs] I did nothing."
1602
01:16:42,659 --> 01:16:44,661
He gets a real kick
out of that.
1603
01:16:44,835 --> 01:16:46,837
I'm sorry, Denice.
I'm not changing my vote.
1604
01:16:47,751 --> 01:16:49,231
Neither am I.
1605
01:16:49,405 --> 01:16:51,363
Yeah. Me, too.
1606
01:16:56,151 --> 01:16:57,369
[man] So what do we do then?
1607
01:16:58,066 --> 01:16:59,023
Um...
1608
01:17:00,546 --> 01:17:02,287
there's one thing we could try.
1609
01:17:03,724 --> 01:17:06,335
[sighs] Madam Foreperson.
1610
01:17:07,945 --> 01:17:09,860
Sending a jury
to visit a crime scene
1611
01:17:10,034 --> 01:17:11,427
once deliberations have begun
1612
01:17:11,601 --> 01:17:13,951
is not something
I would typically allow.
1613
01:17:14,125 --> 01:17:15,474
With all due respect,
Your Honor,
1614
01:17:15,648 --> 01:17:18,434
this has not been
a typical deliberation.
1615
01:17:18,608 --> 01:17:20,262
But I do think
it will be beneficial
1616
01:17:20,436 --> 01:17:22,046
in helping us reach a verdict.
1617
01:17:22,220 --> 01:17:23,091
I see.
1618
01:17:25,876 --> 01:17:27,225
Mr. Resnick. Any objections?
1619
01:17:28,313 --> 01:17:29,575
No, Your Honor.
1620
01:17:29,750 --> 01:17:30,968
Okay, Miss Killebrew?
1621
01:17:33,014 --> 01:17:34,667
The State's fine with it.
1622
01:17:34,842 --> 01:17:35,843
All right, then.
1623
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,281
Here are the rules.
1624
01:17:39,455 --> 01:17:41,805
During your visit,
you are not to speak
1625
01:17:41,979 --> 01:17:43,764
to anyone outside
of your jury panel,
1626
01:17:43,938 --> 01:17:48,464
nor are you to speak to
each other about this case.
1627
01:17:48,638 --> 01:17:50,509
All right, you are there
to view the locations
1628
01:17:50,683 --> 01:17:53,643
in and around where
the crime took place.
1629
01:17:53,817 --> 01:17:58,300
And you are not to collect
evidence of any kind.
1630
01:17:58,474 --> 01:18:00,693
Does everyone
understand these rules?
1631
01:18:00,868 --> 01:18:02,695
- Yes, ma'am.
- [jurors] Yes, Your Honor.
1632
01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:03,871
All right, then.
1633
01:18:05,220 --> 01:18:06,438
This court is adjourned.
1634
01:18:08,658 --> 01:18:10,399
Hey. Hey. Can... Can we talk?
1635
01:18:12,444 --> 01:18:14,359
Yeah, great. Great.
I'll see you there. Thanks.
1636
01:18:16,013 --> 01:18:17,188
[knock at door]
1637
01:18:20,278 --> 01:18:21,802
[knocks at door]
1638
01:18:30,375 --> 01:18:31,768
Hello?
1639
01:18:31,942 --> 01:18:34,379
Oh, hey, are you
Allison Crewson?
1640
01:18:34,553 --> 01:18:36,207
Yes, I am. Yeah. Who are you?
1641
01:18:36,381 --> 01:18:37,992
I'm, um... I'm Faith Killebrew.
1642
01:18:38,166 --> 01:18:40,646
I'm a prosecutor with
the District Attorney's office.
1643
01:18:40,821 --> 01:18:42,910
Do you mind if we talk?
1644
01:18:43,084 --> 01:18:44,781
I was just about to lay down,
but what is this about?
1645
01:18:44,955 --> 01:18:47,088
It'll only be a minute.
1646
01:18:47,262 --> 01:18:49,046
- Okay. Come in.
- Okay. Thank you.
1647
01:18:55,487 --> 01:18:56,880
Uh, I'm sorry
for the intrusion.
1648
01:18:57,054 --> 01:18:58,751
I won't be long.
1649
01:18:58,926 --> 01:19:00,710
I'm following up on a...
1650
01:19:00,884 --> 01:19:03,191
on a few different accidents
from October last year,
1651
01:19:03,365 --> 01:19:05,280
just doing routine checks
on any cars
1652
01:19:05,454 --> 01:19:08,022
that were serviced
for major body damage
around that time.
1653
01:19:08,196 --> 01:19:09,284
Okay.
1654
01:19:09,458 --> 01:19:11,242
So on October 25th last year,
1655
01:19:11,416 --> 01:19:14,811
did you own a 1996
green Toyota 4Runner?
1656
01:19:14,985 --> 01:19:16,508
Yes.
1657
01:19:16,682 --> 01:19:17,945
Mmm-hmm. And do you remember
having any body work
1658
01:19:18,119 --> 01:19:20,425
- done on it around that time?
- Yeah.
1659
01:19:20,599 --> 01:19:23,559
Okay. And how was
your car damaged?
1660
01:19:23,733 --> 01:19:25,430
My husband, Justin, hit a deer.
1661
01:19:25,604 --> 01:19:27,171
Okay. Any idea where?
1662
01:19:28,346 --> 01:19:29,870
Up on Brimstone Pass.
1663
01:19:30,740 --> 01:19:31,784
You sure?
1664
01:19:31,959 --> 01:19:34,831
[laughs] Yeah.
1665
01:19:35,005 --> 01:19:36,964
Could it have been
Old Quarry Road? Or...
1666
01:19:38,617 --> 01:19:40,271
No, it was Brimstone Pass.
1667
01:19:41,838 --> 01:19:42,839
You're positive.
1668
01:19:43,927 --> 01:19:45,059
Positive.
1669
01:19:47,148 --> 01:19:49,628
Okay. Great.
Well, that's all I have.
1670
01:19:51,587 --> 01:19:54,111
Thank you very much
for your time, Mrs. Crewson.
1671
01:19:54,285 --> 01:19:56,679
And, uh, congratulations.
When are you due?
1672
01:19:57,941 --> 01:19:59,247
Uh...
1673
01:19:59,421 --> 01:20:00,639
Yeah, any day now.
1674
01:20:00,813 --> 01:20:02,119
[laughs] Well,
good luck with that.
1675
01:20:02,293 --> 01:20:03,904
You want me to do anything
before I go?
1676
01:20:04,078 --> 01:20:05,383
- No, no. No.
- Okay. Well, I'll just
see myself out.
1677
01:20:05,557 --> 01:20:06,863
- No. I'll get you...
- No, you stay there.
1678
01:20:07,037 --> 01:20:08,778
- Okay, all right.
- No, it's good. [laughs]
1679
01:20:08,952 --> 01:20:09,735
- Have a good one.
- Thank you.
Thanks for your time.
1680
01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:10,432
- Bye.
- Bye, now.
1681
01:20:11,259 --> 01:20:12,173
[door closes]
1682
01:20:12,347 --> 01:20:13,957
[tense music playing]
1683
01:20:27,275 --> 01:20:29,059
[bell ringing]
1684
01:20:32,410 --> 01:20:34,586
Hey. Sorry I couldn't
meet you earlier.
1685
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:36,371
- No worries.
- What's on your mind?
1686
01:20:36,545 --> 01:20:37,459
The trial.
1687
01:20:37,633 --> 01:20:39,417
Well, yeah, I figured.
1688
01:20:39,591 --> 01:20:41,115
It's headed for a hung jury.
1689
01:20:41,289 --> 01:20:42,290
[man] Justin!
1690
01:20:43,247 --> 01:20:45,162
- Thanks.
- Enjoy.
1691
01:20:45,336 --> 01:20:47,817
- I got you a coffee.
- Thanks.
1692
01:20:47,991 --> 01:20:49,732
Obviously, I want
to acquit the guy,
1693
01:20:49,906 --> 01:20:52,213
but if the jury hangs,
it's a mistrial, right?
1694
01:20:52,387 --> 01:20:54,737
- That's right.
- So problem solved.
1695
01:20:54,911 --> 01:20:56,695
Well, given all the press
on this case,
1696
01:20:56,869 --> 01:20:58,915
the public's going
to demand a retrial.
1697
01:20:59,089 --> 01:21:01,265
We're just gonna have to do it
all over again with Sythe.
1698
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,267
Unless the District Attorney's
office decides
1699
01:21:03,441 --> 01:21:06,836
that he's not the guy,
then they'll find the guy.
1700
01:21:07,010 --> 01:21:09,186
And there's no way that this
case ends without a verdict.
1701
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:11,710
Once they get that,
then, yeah, it's over.
Then it's done.
1702
01:21:11,884 --> 01:21:13,669
So you're saying
I need a verdict?
1703
01:21:14,409 --> 01:21:15,540
I'm afraid so.
1704
01:21:30,338 --> 01:21:31,469
[sighs]
1705
01:21:32,905 --> 01:21:34,907
Hey, can you meet me at County?
1706
01:21:55,711 --> 01:21:56,538
[Allison] Hey.
1707
01:21:57,582 --> 01:21:59,932
Hey. Everything okay?
1708
01:22:01,978 --> 01:22:04,154
Just checking the car.
Might have a buyer.
1709
01:22:10,639 --> 01:22:12,032
Where'd you hit
that deer again?
1710
01:22:14,208 --> 01:22:16,297
Up on Brimstone Pass, right?
1711
01:22:17,907 --> 01:22:18,777
Mmm.
1712
01:22:20,649 --> 01:22:22,520
Are you sure that
it wasn't Old Quarry Road?
1713
01:22:23,782 --> 01:22:25,045
I'm positive.
1714
01:22:26,002 --> 01:22:27,003
That's...
1715
01:22:27,830 --> 01:22:29,832
Just that's ex...
1716
01:22:30,006 --> 01:22:32,356
"Positive," that's what
I said to the...
1717
01:22:32,530 --> 01:22:34,097
prosecutor from your trial
1718
01:22:34,271 --> 01:22:36,404
when she just interrogated me
in our living room.
1719
01:22:37,666 --> 01:22:38,971
- What? She was here.
- Yeah.
1720
01:22:40,886 --> 01:22:42,758
I looked her up.
She wanted to know about
your accident.
1721
01:22:44,368 --> 01:22:45,326
That--
1722
01:22:47,067 --> 01:22:48,459
What'd you tell her?
1723
01:22:48,633 --> 01:22:49,547
The truth.
1724
01:22:52,159 --> 01:22:53,203
That you hit a deer
1725
01:22:54,204 --> 01:22:55,510
up on Brimstone Pass.
1726
01:22:56,989 --> 01:22:58,991
Okay. Good.
1727
01:23:00,645 --> 01:23:01,733
That is the truth, right?
1728
01:23:04,258 --> 01:23:05,955
Did you take the shortcut...
1729
01:23:06,129 --> 01:23:07,609
home through
Old Quarry that night?
1730
01:23:09,872 --> 01:23:11,743
Did you stop
at Rowdy's Hideaway?
1731
01:23:16,008 --> 01:23:17,053
[Allison sighs]
1732
01:23:23,190 --> 01:23:24,191
Did you drink?
1733
01:23:25,844 --> 01:23:26,889
[sighs softly]
1734
01:23:32,851 --> 01:23:33,852
Did you?
1735
01:23:35,854 --> 01:23:37,900
Justin. Did you drink?
1736
01:23:39,423 --> 01:23:41,947
- Talk to me.
- No, no, I didn't drink.
1737
01:23:42,122 --> 01:23:44,080
I didn't drink. Okay? I...
1738
01:23:47,344 --> 01:23:48,998
I stopped and I [stammering]...
1739
01:23:49,172 --> 01:23:50,652
I ordered the drink,
but I didn't touch it.
1740
01:23:50,826 --> 01:23:52,741
Ordered, but didn't drink.
Why would I believe that?
1741
01:23:52,915 --> 01:23:54,569
- Because that's the truth.
I promise. I swear.
- You swear?
1742
01:23:54,743 --> 01:23:56,397
Why should I believe that?
Why should I believe anything
1743
01:23:56,571 --> 01:23:57,746
- that you're saying anymore?
- I promise. I swear to you.
1744
01:23:57,920 --> 01:23:59,008
- I swear to you.
- You swear to me?
1745
01:23:59,182 --> 01:24:00,009
- I swear.
- Don't lie to me.
1746
01:24:00,183 --> 01:24:01,141
I'm not lying. I promise.
1747
01:24:01,315 --> 01:24:03,055
I promise. That is the truth.
1748
01:24:03,230 --> 01:24:04,056
Okay?
1749
01:24:05,406 --> 01:24:06,407
Look, it...
1750
01:24:08,322 --> 01:24:09,279
It...
1751
01:24:11,281 --> 01:24:13,544
It was the twins' due date
and I couldn't deal
1752
01:24:13,718 --> 01:24:14,719
with the feelings
that I was having.
1753
01:24:14,893 --> 01:24:16,591
I couldn't deal with them,
1754
01:24:16,765 --> 01:24:18,288
so I didn't want to bring them
home and put them on you.
1755
01:24:19,071 --> 01:24:20,334
So I went there.
1756
01:24:20,508 --> 01:24:22,031
I sat there for a while,
and then I...
1757
01:24:22,205 --> 01:24:23,989
and then I came home.
1758
01:24:24,164 --> 01:24:26,166
[voice shaking] Why didn't
you tell me any of this?
1759
01:24:26,340 --> 01:24:27,993
Why did you keep this from me?
1760
01:24:28,168 --> 01:24:29,169
- I wanted... I wanted to.
- You could've talked to me.
1761
01:24:29,343 --> 01:24:30,431
But you were in so much pain.
1762
01:24:30,605 --> 01:24:32,824
Of course I was in pain.
1763
01:24:32,998 --> 01:24:34,565
I kept thinking that I was
somehow responsible,
1764
01:24:34,739 --> 01:24:36,088
that it was my fault,
that it's still my...
1765
01:24:36,263 --> 01:24:37,612
No. No. It was not your fault.
1766
01:24:37,786 --> 01:24:39,091
- They were my babies.
- It's not... It's not...
1767
01:24:39,266 --> 01:24:40,832
- They were our babies.
- I know.
1768
01:24:41,006 --> 01:24:43,879
None... None... None of this
is your fault, okay?
1769
01:24:44,053 --> 01:24:46,098
We were both hurting.
It still hurts.
1770
01:24:48,623 --> 01:24:49,711
I'm still hurting.
1771
01:24:53,802 --> 01:24:54,716
Me, too.
1772
01:24:56,457 --> 01:24:57,936
Yeah. Yeah.
1773
01:25:02,332 --> 01:25:03,942
[sighs]
1774
01:25:04,116 --> 01:25:06,293
I'm not doing this alone.
1775
01:25:06,467 --> 01:25:08,338
No, you're not. You're not.
1776
01:25:08,512 --> 01:25:09,687
You are not.
1777
01:25:09,861 --> 01:25:12,734
I will protect our family.
I will.
1778
01:25:14,953 --> 01:25:16,346
I promise. Okay?
1779
01:25:19,654 --> 01:25:21,525
Hey, come here. Come here.
1780
01:25:22,787 --> 01:25:23,875
[sighs]
1781
01:25:37,672 --> 01:25:38,934
What the hell is going on?
1782
01:25:39,108 --> 01:25:40,979
- Ugh, I need to see him.
- Why?
1783
01:25:41,153 --> 01:25:42,285
I need him
to look me in the eye
1784
01:25:42,459 --> 01:25:43,591
and tell me he didn't do it.
1785
01:25:45,549 --> 01:25:46,594
So you're having doubts?
1786
01:25:46,768 --> 01:25:47,769
I'm right. You're doubting it?
1787
01:25:47,943 --> 01:25:49,771
I... I don't know.
1788
01:25:49,945 --> 01:25:51,425
What do you mean
you don't know?
1789
01:25:51,599 --> 01:25:52,774
Come on. You know
something isn't right here.
1790
01:25:52,948 --> 01:25:54,863
The jury knows it. It's just...
1791
01:25:55,037 --> 01:25:56,734
Can you prove
that's what happened?
1792
01:25:56,908 --> 01:25:59,084
Can you prove it didn't?
Can you?
1793
01:25:59,259 --> 01:26:01,173
[Faith] I don't know.
Just get me in there.
1794
01:26:05,047 --> 01:26:06,266
[door buzzes]
1795
01:26:12,620 --> 01:26:13,795
[door slams]
1796
01:26:16,972 --> 01:26:18,016
What are you doing here?
1797
01:26:19,844 --> 01:26:20,758
Have a seat.
1798
01:26:22,499 --> 01:26:23,631
I shouldn't be talking to you.
1799
01:26:24,719 --> 01:26:25,633
It's okay.
1800
01:26:32,030 --> 01:26:33,162
What do you want?
1801
01:26:34,468 --> 01:26:36,383
Same thing as you.
1802
01:26:36,557 --> 01:26:37,993
Justice for Kendall Carter.
1803
01:26:38,167 --> 01:26:40,038
So go find the son of a bitch
who did it.
1804
01:26:42,737 --> 01:26:44,391
Look, there's no jury,
1805
01:26:44,565 --> 01:26:47,045
no judge, no cameras.
So just...
1806
01:26:47,219 --> 01:26:48,438
tell me what happened
that night.
1807
01:26:48,612 --> 01:26:50,571
I told you. I went home.
1808
01:26:52,790 --> 01:26:54,749
Right, but first, you...
1809
01:26:54,923 --> 01:26:56,925
you followed her, right?
1810
01:26:58,143 --> 01:26:59,449
Yeah. I mean, she was wasted.
1811
01:27:00,885 --> 01:27:02,844
Oh, no. So you felt angry
1812
01:27:03,018 --> 01:27:05,020
and, I don't know,
sick of being played?
1813
01:27:05,194 --> 01:27:07,457
No, no, that wasn't it. Okay?
1814
01:27:08,850 --> 01:27:10,634
It's just how Kenny was.
1815
01:27:10,808 --> 01:27:12,810
She'd get all worked up,
you know, talk this big game,
1816
01:27:12,984 --> 01:27:15,509
and the next day,
it'd be like nothing happened.
1817
01:27:15,683 --> 01:27:17,249
So she just needed
to chill out.
1818
01:27:18,294 --> 01:27:19,339
Right.
1819
01:27:20,731 --> 01:27:21,732
Yes, okay, I...
1820
01:27:23,299 --> 01:27:26,346
I know our relationship
wasn't perfect.
1821
01:27:28,565 --> 01:27:29,784
But we did love each other.
1822
01:27:32,874 --> 01:27:34,571
Now, listen, lady...
1823
01:27:34,745 --> 01:27:37,139
I've done a lot of things
in my life
1824
01:27:37,313 --> 01:27:38,445
that I'm not proud of.
1825
01:27:40,490 --> 01:27:42,884
But I didn't do this.
1826
01:27:47,279 --> 01:27:48,368
The biggest regret...
1827
01:27:50,108 --> 01:27:51,240
of my life...
1828
01:27:53,285 --> 01:27:54,461
is that I didn't
go after Kendall
1829
01:27:54,635 --> 01:27:55,853
in my car that night.
1830
01:27:57,812 --> 01:27:58,813
Because if I did...
1831
01:28:00,771 --> 01:28:02,164
Kenny would still be alive.
1832
01:28:05,515 --> 01:28:06,386
I'm done.
1833
01:28:08,866 --> 01:28:09,824
[bangs door]
1834
01:28:19,224 --> 01:28:20,269
[door closes]
1835
01:28:22,358 --> 01:28:24,099
[bailiff] All right, everybody,
on the bus. Let's go.
1836
01:28:27,624 --> 01:28:28,582
[laughing]
1837
01:28:37,765 --> 01:28:39,157
[Courtney laughs]
1838
01:28:41,856 --> 01:28:43,423
[snoring]
1839
01:29:01,353 --> 01:29:03,660
Ah. Look, but don't touch.
1840
01:29:04,705 --> 01:29:05,706
Put it back.
1841
01:29:14,323 --> 01:29:16,281
[country music playing
on speakers]
1842
01:30:05,505 --> 01:30:07,811
[bailiff] Okay, y'all.
You ready to go?
1843
01:30:07,985 --> 01:30:10,031
[music fades]
1844
01:30:31,487 --> 01:30:33,489
[tense music playing]
1845
01:30:40,278 --> 01:30:42,324
So this is where they fought.
1846
01:31:46,780 --> 01:31:48,129
Hey, you all right?
1847
01:31:49,478 --> 01:31:50,871
Yeah. I'm fine, thanks.
1848
01:31:51,523 --> 01:31:52,524
Nah, man.
1849
01:31:54,309 --> 01:31:55,963
You haven't been fine
since the start.
1850
01:31:58,443 --> 01:32:00,445
I think you've been playing us
this whole time.
1851
01:32:01,925 --> 01:32:02,839
I don't know what you mean.
1852
01:32:05,363 --> 01:32:06,974
The day you got
on the jury, you were...
1853
01:32:08,410 --> 01:32:11,152
puking in the bathroom.
1854
01:32:11,326 --> 01:32:13,850
All that stuff
with the Flower Man cop
and those papers.
1855
01:32:16,070 --> 01:32:17,158
You claim to be
the voice of reason,
1856
01:32:17,332 --> 01:32:18,899
but you're really just...
1857
01:32:19,073 --> 01:32:20,335
telling us
what we want to hear.
1858
01:32:20,509 --> 01:32:21,989
[clinks]
1859
01:32:29,387 --> 01:32:30,737
Now, I don't know
what game you're playing, man,
1860
01:32:30,911 --> 01:32:31,955
but I see you.
1861
01:32:35,655 --> 01:32:38,048
Do I know exactly
what happened that night?
1862
01:32:38,222 --> 01:32:39,615
No.
1863
01:32:39,789 --> 01:32:41,748
But neither do you.
1864
01:32:43,271 --> 01:32:45,621
And you can't be any more sure
1865
01:32:45,795 --> 01:32:48,102
that James Sythe got in his car
1866
01:32:48,276 --> 01:32:51,148
and drove home that night
than I'm sure he...
1867
01:32:53,020 --> 01:32:54,761
picked up one of these rocks
1868
01:32:54,935 --> 01:32:56,676
and bashed
that poor girl's head in.
1869
01:32:58,416 --> 01:32:59,853
And threw her body
in the creek.
1870
01:33:06,381 --> 01:33:08,426
Jesus, man.
1871
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:10,690
- You nearly slipped.
- Yeah. [clears throat]
1872
01:33:15,912 --> 01:33:18,349
Maybe that hiker was right.
1873
01:33:18,523 --> 01:33:20,743
- Could have slipped.
- Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
1874
01:33:22,136 --> 01:33:23,267
But it doesn't matter.
1875
01:33:26,923 --> 01:33:29,621
That piece of shit
left her there that night...
1876
01:33:30,579 --> 01:33:32,668
alone, to die.
1877
01:33:32,842 --> 01:33:34,017
In a ditch.
1878
01:33:36,367 --> 01:33:38,021
Her death is on him.
1879
01:33:38,195 --> 01:33:40,763
Which is why I will never
acquit James Sythe.
1880
01:33:42,112 --> 01:33:43,070
Ever.
1881
01:33:47,378 --> 01:33:48,858
This trial ends
in only two ways,
1882
01:33:49,032 --> 01:33:51,731
either with a conviction
or a hung jury.
1883
01:33:51,905 --> 01:33:53,080
[Denice claps] All right.
1884
01:33:53,254 --> 01:33:54,690
Is everybody ready
to head home?
1885
01:33:57,171 --> 01:33:58,738
Is everybody done here, please?
1886
01:34:00,609 --> 01:34:01,566
[Marcus] Yeah.
1887
01:34:06,397 --> 01:34:07,311
Okay, let's go.
1888
01:34:10,706 --> 01:34:11,838
[Denice] Have you seen enough?
1889
01:34:12,752 --> 01:34:13,665
Yeah.
1890
01:34:13,840 --> 01:34:15,885
[engines start]
1891
01:34:24,633 --> 01:34:27,592
[suspenseful music playing]
1892
01:34:28,985 --> 01:34:30,465
[engine starts]
1893
01:34:31,988 --> 01:34:34,295
[country music playing

1894
01:35:01,365 --> 01:35:02,497
[sighs]
1895
01:35:18,252 --> 01:35:19,253
[banging]
1896
01:35:19,427 --> 01:35:20,428
All rise!
1897
01:35:40,970 --> 01:35:42,189
Madam Foreperson.
1898
01:35:45,627 --> 01:35:47,150
Has the jury reached a verdict?
1899
01:35:48,021 --> 01:35:49,718
Yes, Your Honor.
1900
01:35:49,892 --> 01:35:51,894
And is that verdict unanimous?
1901
01:35:52,721 --> 01:35:53,853
Yes, Your Honor.
1902
01:36:21,228 --> 01:36:23,926
Will the defendant please stand
for the reading of the verdict?
1903
01:36:30,628 --> 01:36:34,763
"In the matter
of the State of Georgia
vs. James Michael Sythe,
1904
01:36:34,937 --> 01:36:39,855
case number C-R-20211715532,
1905
01:36:41,117 --> 01:36:42,684
we, the jury
1906
01:36:42,858 --> 01:36:45,426
find the defendant,
James Michael Sythe
1907
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:48,124
guilty of count one

Denice Aldworth, Foreperson."
1910
01:36:54,435 --> 01:36:55,697
[sighs]
1911
01:36:55,871 --> 01:36:56,959
Madam Foreperson?
1912
01:36:58,047 --> 01:36:59,396
To the best of your knowledge,
1913
01:36:59,570 --> 01:37:01,833
was this your verdict
in the jury room?
1914
01:37:02,008 --> 01:37:04,401
Was it freely
and voluntarily given?
1915
01:37:04,575 --> 01:37:05,925
And is this still your verdict?
1916
01:37:07,230 --> 01:37:08,753
[Denice] Yes, Your Honor.
1917
01:37:08,928 --> 01:37:10,146
[Judge Thelma] Very well.
1918
01:37:10,320 --> 01:37:12,105
Then the defendant
is hereby remanded
1919
01:37:12,279 --> 01:37:14,846
to the custody of the State.
1920
01:37:15,021 --> 01:37:17,110
Sentencing will be
at a later date.
1921
01:37:21,462 --> 01:37:23,464
[softly] Oh, James.
1922
01:37:27,772 --> 01:37:29,774
Thank you for your service.
1923
01:37:29,949 --> 01:37:31,080
It is now concluded.
1924
01:37:32,647 --> 01:37:33,909
This court is adjourned.
1925
01:37:42,004 --> 01:37:43,136
[sighs]
1926
01:38:19,955 --> 01:38:21,000
[groans softly]
1927
01:38:27,006 --> 01:38:29,356
[sirens blaring in distance]
1928
01:38:33,316 --> 01:38:35,405
[tense music playing]
1929
01:38:51,378 --> 01:38:52,727
[sighs]
1930
01:39:02,432 --> 01:39:04,565
Hey. Good. Right there.
1931
01:39:06,349 --> 01:39:08,047
- Hey.
- Hey.
1932
01:39:08,221 --> 01:39:09,526
- What time does it start?
- Soon. I'm going to head out.
1933
01:39:09,700 --> 01:39:10,832
You sure you want to go?
1934
01:39:11,528 --> 01:39:12,616
Hey! Justin.
1935
01:39:12,790 --> 01:39:14,618
He wasn't a good guy.
1936
01:39:14,792 --> 01:39:16,055
It's not your fault.
1937
01:39:18,361 --> 01:39:19,536
I didn't stand up for him.
1938
01:39:21,408 --> 01:39:23,105
I told them what they
needed to hear,
1939
01:39:23,279 --> 01:39:24,498
and said he couldn't change.
1940
01:39:26,021 --> 01:39:27,805
And I have
to live with that, so...
1941
01:39:31,679 --> 01:39:32,593
The least I can do is be there.
1942
01:39:35,030 --> 01:39:36,075
[door closes]
1943
01:39:38,381 --> 01:39:39,600
Hi, peanut.
1944
01:39:54,484 --> 01:39:55,355
This came for you.
1945
01:40:28,736 --> 01:40:31,521
Will the defendant
please stand for sentencing?
1946
01:40:35,482 --> 01:40:41,052
The murder of Kendall Carter
was violent and senseless.
1947
01:40:41,227 --> 01:40:43,794
The jury has found you
guilty of that murder,
1948
01:40:43,968 --> 01:40:47,015
for which this court
sentences you as follows.
1949
01:40:48,016 --> 01:40:50,279
Count one, malice murder.
1950
01:40:52,063 --> 01:40:53,282
Life in prison
1951
01:40:53,456 --> 01:40:55,284
without the possibility
of parole.
1952
01:40:57,243 --> 01:40:59,201
The defendant
is hereby remanded
1953
01:40:59,375 --> 01:41:01,072
to the Department
of Corrections
1954
01:41:01,247 --> 01:41:03,292
to serve the rest
of his life in prison.
1955
01:41:25,662 --> 01:41:28,274
[suspenseful music playing]
1956
01:41:28,448 --> 01:41:29,927
[Allison] My husband,
Justin, hit a deer.
1957
01:41:30,101 --> 01:41:31,494
[Justin] My wife is of
a high-risk pregnancy.
1958
01:41:45,682 --> 01:41:47,380
[Judge Thelma] This court
is now adjourned.
1959
01:42:08,792 --> 01:42:09,793
Hey.
1960
01:42:11,534 --> 01:42:13,057
I'm surprised you came today.
1961
01:42:16,322 --> 01:42:17,758
I wanted to see this through.
1962
01:42:18,585 --> 01:42:19,673
Yeah. Me too.
1963
01:42:25,026 --> 01:42:26,114
You look tired.
1964
01:42:28,595 --> 01:42:29,596
Likewise.
1965
01:42:31,075 --> 01:42:32,381
Well, I have
a new baby at home.
1966
01:42:33,687 --> 01:42:34,775
That's not what I meant.
1967
01:42:42,261 --> 01:42:43,653
Congratulations on winning
your election.
1968
01:42:43,827 --> 01:42:45,742
- I saw it in the paper.
- Oh, yeah. Thank you.
1969
01:42:45,916 --> 01:42:47,570
It's a pretty big deal.
You must have
worked hard for it.
1970
01:42:47,744 --> 01:42:48,702
Oh, I did.
1971
01:42:51,139 --> 01:42:53,272
There's a lot of good
you can do in that job,
I'd imagine.
1972
01:42:54,490 --> 01:42:55,535
Sometimes.
1973
01:42:57,580 --> 01:42:59,147
It's not as easy
as you think, though.
1974
01:43:00,888 --> 01:43:02,324
Never is.
1975
01:43:02,498 --> 01:43:04,631
Mmm. Sometimes you try
and do the right thing
1976
01:43:04,805 --> 01:43:06,372
only to realize
you got it all wrong.
1977
01:43:11,855 --> 01:43:14,336
And when you figure things out,
1978
01:43:14,510 --> 01:43:16,469
you realize the guy
you're after isn't some...
1979
01:43:17,513 --> 01:43:19,167
psycho.
1980
01:43:19,341 --> 01:43:20,821
He's not even
really a criminal.
1981
01:43:22,779 --> 01:43:24,390
He's just a regular guy.
1982
01:43:28,481 --> 01:43:29,830
What if it was an accident?
1983
01:43:30,004 --> 01:43:31,092
This is no accident.
1984
01:43:34,704 --> 01:43:36,880
It's impossible to prove,
either way.
1985
01:43:37,054 --> 01:43:39,100
Just like him
not realizing at the time
1986
01:43:39,274 --> 01:43:40,971
that he hit someone
with his car. It's...
1987
01:43:44,714 --> 01:43:45,933
You just have to trust him.
1988
01:43:47,978 --> 01:43:49,066
Why would I do that?
1989
01:43:50,372 --> 01:43:52,635
Because he's a good person.
1990
01:43:52,809 --> 01:43:55,072
He was caught
in terrible circumstances.
1991
01:43:55,246 --> 01:43:57,597
Mmm-hmm. No, you're right.
This is a...
1992
01:43:57,771 --> 01:43:59,076
[chuckles] It's a tough one.
1993
01:44:01,731 --> 01:44:03,167
He has a family
depending on him,
1994
01:44:03,342 --> 01:44:05,039
just like you have people
depending on you.
1995
01:44:06,345 --> 01:44:07,650
And what about justice?
1996
01:44:14,048 --> 01:44:15,658
Well, sometimes...
1997
01:44:15,832 --> 01:44:18,052
the truth isn't justice.
1998
01:44:18,226 --> 01:44:20,576
[scoffs] You really
believe that?
1999
01:44:26,234 --> 01:44:28,454
If you keep going with this,
2000
01:44:28,628 --> 01:44:30,760
the press will eat you alive.
2001
01:44:30,934 --> 01:44:32,806
Okay? This case
will follow you forever.
2002
01:44:32,980 --> 01:44:34,242
In the meantime,
2003
01:44:34,416 --> 01:44:36,505
some politician
will take your job,
2004
01:44:36,679 --> 01:44:38,594
a criminal goes back
on the street,
2005
01:44:38,768 --> 01:44:40,901
and a good man
and his family will be...
2006
01:44:42,381 --> 01:44:43,730
just destroyed.
2007
01:44:46,907 --> 01:44:49,083
Where is the justice in that?
2008
01:45:09,277 --> 01:45:11,279
[melancholy music playing]
2009
01:45:22,986 --> 01:45:23,987
Amen.
2010
01:45:42,136 --> 01:45:43,572
Looks like the storm passed.
2011
01:45:44,530 --> 01:45:46,357
Yeah. I think so.
2012
01:45:53,147 --> 01:45:54,453
[engine starts]
2013
01:46:10,599 --> 01:46:12,645
[Eric] Hello?
Where's our new DA?
2014
01:46:14,168 --> 01:46:16,213
- Hey.
- Hey.
2015
01:46:16,387 --> 01:46:18,215
- For the new digs.
- Oh. [chuckles]
2016
01:46:18,389 --> 01:46:20,479
- Thanks.
- Yeah. It's real.
2017
01:46:20,653 --> 01:46:22,481
Easy plant to take care of.
2018
01:46:24,134 --> 01:46:26,833
- It really thrives on neglect.
- [chuckles]
2019
01:46:27,007 --> 01:46:29,052
- You did it.
- [sighs]
2020
01:46:30,793 --> 01:46:32,142
I hope it was worth it.
2021
01:46:37,060 --> 01:46:37,974
[knocks on table]
2022
01:46:38,148 --> 01:46:39,715
Ale House later.
2023
01:46:39,889 --> 01:46:40,803
You're buying.
2024
01:47:03,913 --> 01:47:06,046
Kung fu!
2025
01:47:06,220 --> 01:47:09,179
- Hi.
- And the 4Runner
is officially sold.
2026
01:47:09,353 --> 01:47:10,180
Okay.
2027
01:47:11,921 --> 01:47:12,879
[sighs]
2028
01:47:13,793 --> 01:47:14,707
Come here.
2029
01:47:18,493 --> 01:47:19,973
[baby cooing]
2030
01:47:20,147 --> 01:47:21,061
[both gasp]
2031
01:47:21,235 --> 01:47:22,192
- Hi.
- Oh.
2032
01:47:23,890 --> 01:47:25,282
Good morning. Dada.
2033
01:47:25,456 --> 01:47:26,719
[Justin and Allison] Yeah.
2034
01:47:26,893 --> 01:47:28,721
- There she goes.
- Come here. Here we go.
2035
01:47:28,895 --> 01:47:31,811
Yeah. Yeah.
You're doing good. Hi.
2036
01:47:31,985 --> 01:47:34,857
[sighs] It sucks.
I think she has my eyes.
2037
01:47:35,031 --> 01:47:36,163
- Really?
- Yeah.
2038
01:47:36,337 --> 01:47:38,165
- No.
- Yeah.
2039
01:47:38,339 --> 01:47:39,775
- You have beautiful eyes.
- Well...
2040
01:47:40,863 --> 01:47:42,299
Look, I think, maybe mine.
2041
01:47:42,473 --> 01:47:43,605
They're changing a little bit.
2042
01:47:43,779 --> 01:47:46,390
- [baby cooing]
- Yeah, hi.
2043
01:47:46,565 --> 01:47:48,262
- She has my mouth.
- I hope not.
2044
01:47:48,436 --> 01:47:50,220
[both laugh]
2045
01:47:51,613 --> 01:47:52,788
Definitely your elbows, though.
2046
01:47:52,962 --> 01:47:54,094
My elb-- [laughs]
2047
01:47:54,268 --> 01:47:55,878
My elbow. [gasps]
2048
01:47:56,052 --> 01:47:58,054
Look at your beautiful elbows.
You're blessed.
2049
01:47:58,228 --> 01:48:00,143
- [laughs]
- My greatest feature.
2050
01:48:03,625 --> 01:48:04,583
Hi.
2051
01:48:06,759 --> 01:48:07,934
My girls.
2052
01:48:08,108 --> 01:48:10,501
My girls
with beautiful elbows. Yeah.
2053
01:48:10,676 --> 01:48:12,547
- [knock at door]
- Oh.
2054
01:48:13,113 --> 01:48:14,462
Oh.
2055
01:48:14,636 --> 01:48:16,333
Who could that be
at a time like this?
2056
01:48:16,507 --> 01:48:17,639
- Hey, peanut.
- There we go.
2057
01:48:17,813 --> 01:48:18,988
Hi, honey.
2058
01:48:19,685 --> 01:48:20,990
Okay.
2059
01:48:40,488 --> 01:48:42,446
[somber music playing]
