00:15:34,455 --> 00:15:36,544
- To talk to you
about Libby Blandon.
351
00:15:36,587 --> 00:15:38,372
- Well, one squad's vic
is another squad's perp.
352
00:15:38,415 --> 00:15:40,069
It happens.
353
00:15:40,113 --> 00:15:43,246
- So you do know that she was
a victim of a brutal rape
354
00:15:43,290 --> 00:15:44,595
a year ago?
355
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:47,511
- And you want me
to ask the ADA for leniency?
356
00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:49,513
I already told her attorney
if she confesses,
357
00:15:49,557 --> 00:15:51,559
the ADA would be open
to a plea deal.
358
00:15:51,602 --> 00:15:53,430
- Well, that's actually
not why I'm here.
359
00:15:53,474 --> 00:15:56,564
I was curious
about how you ID'd her.
360
00:15:56,607 --> 00:15:58,479
- I didn't.
The guy she robbed did--
361
00:15:58,522 --> 00:15:59,828
made a corporeal ID.
362
00:15:59,871 --> 00:16:01,308
She couldn't even look him
in the eye.
363
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:04,311
- But how were you able
to bring her in?
364
00:16:04,354 --> 00:16:07,705
She used a fake name,
fake number, and fake address.
365
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:10,708
But somehow, you managed to
pick her up through her mother?

She's been doing real well
working her program.
695

Then this afternoon,
her grandfather paid a visit.
696

Did they go somewhere together?
697

He wasn't here long, but Nina
was real upset afterwards.

She didn't speak
at all during group.

She went out for a smoke
and hasn't come back.

where she went?
702

She wouldn't have to go far.

Up until today,
she's been a model resident.

requesting bail.

is not bail-optional.

Look, if there was
improper police procedures

the NYPD can look into that,
761

can bring it up at trial.

had access to that DNA.

and indictment

is tainted.

that their DNA

progress with the rape kit DNA?
864
00:38:13,247 --> 00:38:15,423
- We may have found
some common ground.
865
00:38:15,467 --> 00:38:17,425
- Keep me posted.
- I will.
866
00:38:17,469 --> 00:38:18,600
- Nice to see you again,
Lorraine.
867
00:38:18,644 --> 00:38:21,342
- And you too.
I miss you around here.
868
00:38:21,386 --> 00:38:22,909
Give my best to Lamai.
869
00:38:22,952 --> 00:38:24,040
- Will absolutely do.
Take care.
870
00:38:24,084 --> 00:38:26,782
- You too.
871
00:38:26,826 --> 00:38:28,654
- Common ground?
- [chuckles]
872
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:31,178
I had dinner last night
with Judge Cohen,
873
00:38:31,221 --> 00:38:33,136
and he had a few more
drinks than I did.
874
00:38:33,180 --> 00:38:35,965
So he said
that he told Libby's attorney
875
00:38:36,009 --> 00:38:37,445
to request a bench trial.
876
00:38:37,489 --> 00:38:39,578
- So he's signaling to Miglani
877
00:38:39,621 --> 00:38:41,667
that he's gonna find
Libby not guilty.
878
00:38:41,710 --> 00:38:43,364
Well, that's
great news for Libby,
879
00:38:43,408 --> 00:38:45,584
but not
for the other convictions.
880
00:38:45,627 --> 00:38:48,891
- Judge Cohen
had some ideas about that too.
881
00:38:48,935 --> 00:38:53,766
Apparently, DA Drakos'
husband was stepping out.
882
00:38:53,809 --> 00:38:57,378
So she cut and pasted
Judge Cohen's signature
883
00:38:57,422 --> 00:39:00,338
on phone company orders
for a wiretap.
884
00:39:02,209 --> 00:39:04,777
- And he's been sitting
on that the entire time?
885
00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:06,996
- Never underestimate
the complexity
886
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,129
of politics in Queens.

Oh, as a matter of fact,
889
00:39:12,393 --> 00:39:14,656
the DA's making
a statement now.
890
00:39:18,138 --> 00:39:19,531
- And with the help of OCME
891
00:39:19,574 --> 00:39:22,011
and Detective Szabo
from Major Case,
892
00:39:22,055 --> 00:39:24,840
we have discovered a flaw
in the OCME database.
893
00:39:24,884 --> 00:39:28,322
- She discovered the flaw?
They created the flaw.
894
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:30,368
- So in a sense,
they discovered it.
895
00:39:30,411 --> 00:39:31,717

- I am dropping
896
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,414
all charges against
the current defendant
897
00:39:33,458 --> 00:39:34,546
because the Fourth Amendment,
898
00:39:34,589 --> 00:39:37,418
right to privacy,
is paramount.
899
00:39:37,462 --> 00:39:39,638
I will be looking

00:39:43,293 --> 00:39:46,514
I will also be calling on all

in asking for legislation
903
00:39:48,473 --> 00:39:52,738
to ensure that
this practice becomes illegal.
904
00:39:52,781 --> 00:39:56,742
- She's calling on other DAs
to help her with her crusade?
905
00:39:56,785 --> 00:39:58,570
Wow, that is chutzpah.
906
00:39:58,613 --> 00:40:00,528
- You know,
I've learned that the best way
907
00:40:00,572 --> 00:40:04,619
to get anything done is to let
other people take the credit.

talk more about this--

that he wasn't even my father,
912
00:40:14,324 --> 00:40:15,848
and what he did to Aretha?
913
00:40:15,891 --> 00:40:18,503
- I couldn't tell you, Mama.
- Oh, I know,
914
00:40:18,546 --> 00:40:20,418
and I know
that's why you ran away.
915

But that's over now.

- For what it's worth, he's
agreed to spare you a trial.
917
00:40:24,334 --> 00:40:25,466
He's going to prison,
918
00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:26,859
most likely
for the rest of his life.
919
00:40:26,902 --> 00:40:28,121
- I don't care anymore.
920
00:40:28,164 --> 00:40:30,776
I don't want to hear his name
ever again.
