All language subtitles for The Practice s02e20 Cloudy With a Chance of Membranes

Never give the jury a chance to think
that you're not devoted.

Or the media. The fact that the jury
sequestered doesn't matter. Newspapers

through, television too.

They'll say he came to kill her that
night. We'll say he came to see her the

of. They'll say he got scratched while
attacking her. We'll say she scratched

him while making love.

They'll say, where's the semen?

We'll say, A, she took a bath.

B, he wore a condom.

Every red herring has to be covered.
They'll be running them up flagpoles, I

guarantee it. What about the shoe?

We'll see as we go.

Hair, prints, fibers.

Nothing we can't explain.

We gotta take out the mother. Those
threats come in.

Are you set on that?

Yes, but don't figure to suppress.

And if we don't suppress, figure the
mother to testify first.

They might lead with DNA.

I'm not leading off with the DNA. It'll
put the jury to sleep. We go with the

victim's mother. She's ready.

I've been over her testimony up and
down.

How can I not testify? I'm not saying
you won't, but the decision doesn't have

to be made yet. If they don't make their
case, we don't give them the chance to

take wax at you.

You set?

I'm set.

Bobby.

Almost three months.

You've never asked me if I'm innocent.

I am.

I am.

Expedited transcripts every single day.

All right, we're ready. You ready?

Okay.

That doctor cut off Cindy Mark's head.
Now we go after him.

You're the same reporter who's been
calling. You don't think I know your

Do you recognize my clip?

Some of the expected juice has dripped
away, Janet. It seems D .A. Gamble and

defense attorney Donald are no longer
romantic partners.

Sources say other than trial
correspondence, communication has been

between them.

Figure the dialogue to heat up this
morning, though. The subject of the

pretrial, whether or not Lorraine Marks
gets to testify about the threats.

Dr. Winslow made to her daughter.

It isn't just hearsay, it's totem pole.
It would be reversible error to allow

it. Your Honor, these statements would
clearly be exempted from the hearsay

rule. Clear to whom? Cindy Marks was in
an excited state when she said these

things. We're not just dealing with
Cindy Marks' statements to her mother.

dealing with supposed statements made by
my client to Cindy Marks. I don't care

how excited she was when she was talking
to her mother. She was passing things

on that he said to her. That's hearsay
too. His statements would be

against... Come on, Helen. I know you
went to law school. I was there. I

to that.

All right. I've heard enough.

The testimony of Mrs. Marks is
admissible.

Opening statements after lunch.

Adjourned.

An extremely big win for the
prosecution, Jim.

Absolutely. The victim's mother
establishes motive. The prosecution can

prove the affair. That's not a problem.
But motive to kill?

The threats to kill, that all comes from
Lorraine Marks, and she could be very

tough for the defense to crack.

I apologize.

Not just because we're asking you to
take time out from your families and

lives, but because we're asking you to
focus on the very worst human nature has

to offer.

Murder.

This is a gruesome, sickening crime.

He cut off her head.

He chopped off her hands.

And as we go through the facts of this
case, it will be difficult.

It will be painful.

Painful to face a reality that sometimes
underneath coats and ties and well

-groomed appearances, there lie
murderers.

There lies one here.

Yes, there was sex and love.

And passion.

Jeffrey Winslow was having an affair
with the victim. Listen to the

prosecution's case closely. All it will
prove is what I just told you. My client

had an affair with Cindy Marks. That's
all they've got.

Because that's all there is.

Yes, somebody did kill her.

But it wasn't Jeffrey Winslow.

So this telephone conversation took
place when, ma 'am? Three days before

was killed.

She called you?

No. I'd called her.

And I saw that she was very upset. Did
she tell you why she was upset?

She didn't want to discuss it.

Cindy and I never really communicated
much on her private life, since I

disapproved of it.

So she never told you the cause of her
being upset?

Eventually, she did.

When I pressed her on it.

She told me. She said her relationship
with Dr. Winslow was becoming ugly,

volatile. She said she wanted to make
public their involvement, and he

threatened her. He said if she tried to
expose the affair, that he would stop

her. Did she say anything else, Mrs.
Marks? Yes.

She said she was scared that he might
hurt her.

Thank you, Mrs. Marks.

You said she never liked to discuss her
private life with you.

Yes. Might she go so far as to conceal
her personal life from you?

She might.

Given that your daughter might conceal
her personal life from you, is it

possible that she was also seeing
somebody else in addition to my client

would try to conceal that?

I suppose it's possible.

You see that man sitting there?

Who is he?

His name is Kenneth Fuller.

He's Cindy's ex -husband.

Could you describe your feelings for
him?

Not good.

Not good.

Would it be fair to say that you dislike
him a lot?

That would be fair. Your daughter knew
that?

No uncertain terms.

Suppose, Mrs. Marsh, just suppose your
daughter resumed the relationship with

this man.

Do you disapprove?

Strongly. Strongly.

Knowing that, is it possible Cindy would
want to hide that fact from you? Your

Honor, I... Is it possible that Kenneth
Fuller was the one that was threatening

her? She said in her hysteria, she just
blurted out my client's name. She wasn't

hysterical. She was out of control,
ranting. No, she wasn't ranting. She was

calm and collected. And she very clearly
said that it was that man who was

threatening her.

So she was calm and collected.

Yes.

Your Honor, at the time we now move to
strike the hearsay testimony of the

witness, the excited utterance exception
no longer applies.

Sidebar. I'm afraid not.

Members of the jury, I'll try to make
the lesson short. The fact that the

made these alleged statements while calm
instead of agitated makes a big legal

difference. Bottom line, they're no
longer admissible.

That means there is no evidence before
you that a relationship was turning

There is no evidence of any threat. As
far as you're concerned,

those threats never happened.

Helen, you told me she was prepped. You
said you went up and down with her. I

did. He spun her. She's not a rocket
scientist.

We're the ones who look stupid. The jury
still heard it. Legally, it may be

excluded, but the jury still heard what
she said. I can't argue it in my closing

argument now. There is a lot of DNA
scientific crap between now and the time

that jury goes to deliberate.

And I can't hammer those threats in my
closing argument now, can I?

Miss Trott.

It's an option. Since the trial's only a
day old, there's a chance we could

still get it.

And why would we want to do that?

Because the jury did hear about the
threats, and it's a tough bell to

And the next jury wouldn't hear about
them. Okay, then why not ask for a

mistrial? Why not is because the
prosecution came out stumbling. First

impressions count, and I think their
case is so circumstantial to begin with.

say we keep going. If we let them start
over, we give them time to regroup.

Plus, they could do more discovery.

I'm with Lindsay.

Who's next?

Pathologist. Mine.

You ready?

Bobby, you walk around all day asking,
are you ready? Are you ready? Of course

I'm ready. We are all ready.

Okay.

No mistrial.

We keep going.

Bobby, what's the matter?

I don't know.

Something just doesn't smell right.

You made a determination that the
killing was the work of a copycat.

Yes, upon doing the autopsy.

How did the autopsy tell you this?

Well, the victim was killed by trauma to
the head, though it was made to look

like a stabbing, which would be
consistent with the poet.

Also, we found that Miss Mark's wounds
were more clinical.

What do you mean, clinical?

Ligaments were incised individually.

The person who did it cut through the
soft tissue.

Meaning what?

Meaning this likely was the work of a
doctor, perhaps a skilled surgeon.

Settle.

Anything else, doctor?

Yes, though there was evidence of
intercourse.

There was no bruising to suggest rape.
And what conclusions, if any, did you

draw from this?

That the victim consented to the
intercourse.

I believe she knew the person who killed
her.

Thank you, doctor.

Did your written report ever say this
was the work of a surgeon?

No. And you can't positively exclude the
poet, can you?

No, but the evidence would suggest... Is
the poet still at large?

Yes.

You say that Cindy died from trauma to
the head. How exactly did you determine

that?

From the skull fracture on the left
temporal lobe. The head had been cut

Yes. Anybody ever drop it on the floor?

That wasn't the fracture I'm talking
about. Did you ever see anybody drop

Cindy's head on the floor, doctor?

The head inadvertently rolled off the
autopsy table.

Hit the floor?

That's not the trauma that caused her
death, counsel.

I see.

You say the absence of vaginal bruising
suggests consensual intercourse.

Yes. Ever known a rape to occur with no
vaginal bruising? The probabilities are

that... Does it ever happen? What
happened, doctor? Rape, no bruises, can

happen? Yes. So it's entirely possible
that Cindy Marks was raped and murdered

by a non -doctor. That's possible, am I
right? Possible, but not likely in my

opinion. Yes, yes, your opinion, the
suspicion of yours that a surgeon did

killing.

When exactly did you come up with this?

At the autopsy. At the autopsy. And did
you share it with the district attorney?

Yes. When?

Objection. Work product.

Overruled. When did you tell the
district attorney about your suspicion

killer was a surgeon?

I told her around the time of the
autopsy. But you didn't write it down.

No. Did she ask you not to write it
down?

Objection. Was the suspicion hatched
between the both of you yesterday?

Objection. I mean, with all the counsel.

Approach.

She has the duty to turn over all
inculpatory evidence. I did.

Testimony that it was the work of a
surgeon. Tasty little tidbit to leave

Anyone knew this witness was going to be
saying copycat? We didn't know he was

going to be saying surgeon.

All right.

That testimony should be stricken. I
said all right. It's an unfair surprise

we would have known. Counsel, this is my
courtroom.

I don't like it, but I'm not striking
it. Your Honor. I've made my ruling step

back.

You get the hell out of my face.

Hey, nice spring job, Helen.

Don't you ever accuse me of hatching.
Oh, come on. You sat down and you know

All right, let's save it for the picnic,
shall we? Hey, hey, we were here first.

Mr. Donald, do you have any comments? No
comment, no comment.

We can't not introduce the shoe print,
Helen. I want to hold it for rebuttal.

For rebuttal, Winslow might not even
take the stand. I'll take that bet.

Helen, we don't have the greatest case
here. Exactly. We don't have the

case. We need to catch him in a lie.
Which we can't do if he doesn't testify.

Scott.

How are we doing?

We can't lose this one, Helen.

We need to put in the shoe.

All right. DNA is next. We have nothing
to fear there. Let them talk.

Nobody fidgets or looks worried. If
anything, look forward. Send a message

the jury. This stuff doesn't matter.

Does anyone here besides me think he did
it?

I'm sorry, but does anyone here even
have a theory as to who else?

Karen. What, Jeffrey, what?

I know you have every right to doubt me.
Oh, you're wrong, Jeffrey. I don't

doubt you for a second. Okay, so we have
some excitement here. Look, Karen...

And don't you give me that devoted wife
pitch again.

Karen, why don't you and I go take a
break?

Great.

We have to decide whether you're going
to testify.

Do you think he killed her?

No, of course not.

I'm sorry. Sitting in that room today,
listening.

Karen, I know. I can't do it.

I can't play the adoring wife anymore.

Ever since this happened, I've been
pretending that I stand by him, that

I feel dirty walking in the room with
him, holding his hand.

He betrayed me, and I can't pretend
anymore.

Karen, listen to me.

We have a murder trial, and we have a
marriage. And unfortunately, for the

of the trial, we have to send a signal
that the marriage is okay. This tells

jury something.

If you believe that he's innocent,

Murder -wise.

Then you have to pretend marriage -wise
just for a little bit longer, Karen.

Okay.

Okay.

They never actually checked out the
mother, at least not much.

You really think that she could
decapitate her own daughter?

No. But they didn't like each other.

And, Bobby, now that the surgeon's done
everything, we might have to start

suggesting other suspects.

No, that's too dangerous. Burden's on
them. We don't offer anything we can't

prove. Yeah, well, our consultants say
we have to respond to the threats, too.

Admissible or not, they think it's a
problem. Which means Jeffrey would have

testify, which is what I think Helen
wants.

What?

Right in front of our faces.

I don't know what it is.

As you can see, the nucleotides link up.

We have an exact genetic matchup with
the defendant.

And this was from skin samples?

Found underneath her fingernails, yes.

The hair samples found on the bed also
line up in matching sequences.

Doctor, can you crunch all this for us?

The defendant was in her apartment.

But DNA can't establish that he killed
her.

Only that he was there.

Yes. It was a prior victim of the poet.

And Dr. Knopfel, the defendant had
access to the autopsy report on this

Yes, he did.

Because it was a prior victim of the
poet, the autopsy report was faxed all

your hospital, wasn't it? It was juicy
copy and a lot of people had it.

Yes.

Do the hospital phone records show any
outgoing call to Dr. Winslow's residence

the evening of the murder?

No. And if somebody did call him down to
the hospital, your phone records would

indicate that? Yeah.

Anybody in the hospital have personal
cell phones?

Yes.

Is that it, Ms. Gamble?

Put the shoe in now, Helen.

If Winslow doesn't testify, they could
rest.

Reasonable doubt. We have not made our
case.

Prosecution would like to call one last
witness.

Kenneth Fuller.

Your Honor, this witness is not on their
list. He was included in a prior

pretrial list. Which had 200 names on
it. Get up here, both of you.

Technically, they have noticed.

This is a revised list.

As an officer of this court, I will
state right now that nothing I ask this

witness will constitute unfair surprise.
The testimony could be worthless. It

might bother.

Because I'm playing a hunch, I'm
entitled to do that.

All right, I'll see where it goes. If
you want to adjourn after the prepared

cross, I'll give it to you. Stop your
whining.

Mr. Fuller.

We've already learned a little bit about
you from your ex -mother -in -law. You

had a bad marriage with Cindy Marks. You
could say that.

Forgive me for saying this, sir, but you
seem like a scary guy.

Objection! Sustained. Is that where
you're going? He looks scary?

Actually, yes.

Mr. Fuller, you've been in this
courtroom every day of the trial.

Anybody ask you to come?

Objection!

Overruled. Anybody perhaps pay you to be
sitting here?

Objection, work product.

Work product? Your Honor, she is going
fishing.

She's trying to get a communications
between the witness and my office. It's

work product and it's inadmissible.

I think I'd like to ask myself.

Has anyone paid you to come here, Mr.
Fuller?

You're under oath, sir. Has anyone paid
you to come to this courtroom?

Mr. Berluti.

Him.

How much?

$5 ,000.

And were you given any special
instructions?

Just sit here.

It looked like I could have killed her.

I have a legal right.

Like hell you do. We all have our paid
consultants sitting out there, paid to

sit in the room. Are you kidding? No,
I'm not kidding, Helen. Well, you should

be. Paying that man to sit there as a
flame -red herring, it's the equivalent

putting in false evidence. I mean, call
him to the stand.

What has happened to you? Look, I'm
doing what I have to do to defend my

I haven't broken any laws here, and I
demand that you instruct that jury that

haven't. Well, I'm not going to do that.
Well, then basically you just condemn

me in front of them. And I'd do it
again, and I'd love to do it more

But I don't want to hand you a mistrial.

That little trick was despicable. Oh,
and you don't think that she does that?

I'm talking now.

You're right. Technically, you get to
slide by, but barely, Bobby.

You told her. I didn't tell her. Why
don't you just pluck that out of the

Lindsay? She's smart, Bobby. Oh, please.
Don't you go accusing him. Oh, thank

you, Rebecca. You want to take over the
case now? It was stupid. You had the

case won and you know you did. And now
that jury isn't going to trust a thing

you say. And why should they? All right.

Let's not turn on each other. The case
hasn't gotten any better and the burden

is on them.

Well, we certainly can't rest on that
note. No, we can't. We got to put on a

defense.

Is Karen ready?

Yeah.

Do you remember what time your husband
left the house?

A few minutes past ten.

And when he returned?

Around midnight. I was still awake.

Can you please describe his demeanor for
the court?

It was normal.

He complained that the page was
unnecessary, that I could have waited

morning. But he was calm?

Yes. His usual self?

Yes. Mrs. Winslow, can you tell us how
long it takes to get from Weston to Math

General where your husband works?

At that hour, you can make it in about
35 minutes. So he would need an hour and

10 minutes travel time?

Right.

Mrs. Winslow, are you angry at your
husband?

I don't know if anger is a strong enough
word.

Do I love him?

Yes.

But do I also hate him?

But despite your angry feelings, here
today you sit testifying on his behalf.

I've slept by that man's side for 12
years.

I know him as well as I know myself.

It is inconceivable that he could have
committed what he's been accused of.

You seem pretty sure.

Whatever is false, he is not a murderer.

Say you know him. You didn't know he was
having an affair, though, did you?

No.

So he is able to conceal certain truths
from you, isn't he?

He didn't kill that woman.

Who is this person sitting in the second
row by the aisle?

Beverly Walton. She's my neighbor.

The day of your husband's arrest, did
you tell her you thought your husband

kill Cindy Marks?

Did you tell Beverly Walton you thought
your husband did murder Cindy Marks?

I was still in shock over the affair.

I was speaking out of hurt and anger.
You did say that.

I was lashing out. I didn't mean you...
You sit here today saying it's

inconceivable for your husband to commit
murder, and yet to this woman you said

he probably did commit murder.

I don't think he killed her.

There was a context.

There was a tongue then.

Objection. Sustained.

Mrs. Winslow, you also testified to
timeline.

Two hours.

10 to midnight hour commute.

Do you remember speaking with me and
Detective McCrew the day after the

Yes. Did you not tell us then that your
husband returned home around 1 a .m.? I

was wrong.

It was 12.

You were wrong the day after you said 1.

But three months later at trial, your
memory is fresher.

I didn't remember saying that.

I didn't remember.

All right, let's not panic. We still got
a long way to go. Let's not panic?

My own wife shouts out to somebody, he
did it, let's not panic? Come on,

Jeffrey.

Did you kill her?

You did, didn't you? You killed her.

You retain everything, Karen.

You wouldn't forget saying he did it to
Beverly? You wouldn't forget saying

about 1 a .m.?

Maybe you did know about the affair.

What a perfect revenge that would be,
wouldn't it?

Are you out of your mind? Maybe I am!

All of this, pretending to be by my
side, and then you get up there on the

and...

Now,

maybe you... Maybe you went up there
knowing full well that the DA would kick

you to pieces on cross.

Perfect, Karen.

Perfect.

Oh.

Oh, I get it.

I'm supposed to think, wow, for him to
accuse me, he really must be innocent.

Is that what you want me to think? Is
that what this little tantrum is about?

Trial has been suspended for the rest of
the day, but tomorrow will be the day

everyone has been salivating for.

Jeffrey Winslow is scheduled to climb
into that witness chair.

Where is he? With Jimmy and Eugene.

Mock testimony.

Bobby, have we even thought about a
plea? A plea?

They still haven't made their case.
Why... Becky. You

probably have the most distance. Where's
your head?

Beyond a reasonable doubt, I don't know.
But I definitely think the guy did it.

Maybe we should just throw out a feeler,
see if there's anything to even

consider.

Not a chance.

Helen, you haven't even come close to
satisfying burden of truth. Then why are

you here? Because the stakes are so
high.

Murder, too, is the best you get. That's
automatic life. Why would we even think

about that? He chopped her into pieces.
What are you looking for, a battery?

Should we just write him a little
speeding ticket?

This is more about beating me, isn't it?

Beating you is extra.

Helen, maybe you're not seeing straight.

You haven't done so great on the
elements here. You have to know that.

Then I'll lose.

I know Helen Gamble well enough.

She's got another card in her hand. Only
you can know what it is.

I don't. You screw me, you screw
yourself.

If I'm going to save you from life in
prison, tell me what I don't know,

I guarantee you, she knows.

Tell me now!

I went there that night.

I made love to her in the afternoon, and
I went back at night to see her.

And I saw her like that.

Like what?

Dead.

All cut up.

Her head.

I saw it.

But I didn't do it, Bobby. I didn't.
What did you do then?

I just left.

I went home.

I was afraid.

I thought that if I called the police,
the affair would be on the front page.

Eugene, Jimmy. Bobby, I...

He was there the night of the murder.
Helen knows it. How she knows it has to

in those discovery documents. Otherwise,
she'd be guaranteeing a mistrial.

I don't understand. If she knew he was
there that night, why didn't she put it

into evidence? She didn't want us to be
able to explain it. She was counting on

you taking the stand and saying you
weren't there that night under oath.

Then she springs what she's got in
rebuttal. She's caught you in a lie and

you're dead. I don't know, man. That's a
little dicey.

What? In the DNA discovery, she turned
over hair, blood, prints, hand, and

Turned to the supplemental discovery.

Blood on floor. You stepped in blood.
That's what she's got.

Footprints. So technically she's covered
with the discovery rules. But she

played hard to ball.

They did take my shoes when they
searched.

Okay, okay. We play this straight.

We just defuse her cannon before she
ever gets to shoot it. Come on, we'll go

over your testimony on the way.

Let's go.

We made love.

Then I went home.

In the middle of the afternoon?

Yes.

And that's why you had these scratches
on your back?

Yes. Now, Doctor, I need to ask the
question everybody in this room is

Did you kill Cindy Marks?

No, I didn't.

I... This isn't easy to say in front of
my wife.

love cindy i could never do anything to
hurt her well you have to admit that

it's it's a little coincidental that she
was killed on the same day that you

were there i'm afraid it's a little more
incriminating than that mr donald i'm

ashamed to say this because i didn't
report it but uh ashamed to say what i

back to the house that night you went
back there yes i walked

in

She was dead.

There was blood everywhere.

We were having an affair.

I was afraid of the implications and the
publicity, so I panicked and I went

home.

But I swear, I didn't kill her.

I didn't.

Thank you, Doctor.

Voluntary manslaughter, eight years.

Take it or leave it.

Too late, Helen. I can still win that.

You know, it was a nice try burying the
shoe prints you thought you'd get him in

a lie. I guess that's what happens when
you play dirty.

Oh, I play dirty? You pay the ex
-husband. You imply false evidence. You

probably quote that piece of poetry we
just heard. Go away and get your eyes on

everything they say about you. You're
sleazy.

Voluntary manslaughter.

Take it or leave it.

You got a shot, Helen.

You cross -examined well.

You got a shot.

Now isn't the time to collapse.

I'm not about to collapse.

Who called you from the hospital that
night?

Nobody. You never got a call to go to
the hospital?

I told my wife I did, but I was really
going to see Cindy. You lied to your

wife? Yes.

You'd been lying to your wife for a year
about this affair?

That's true.

A person who lies is a liar. Would you
agree with that?

I lied about some things.

So by your own admission, you would be a
liar?

Yes.

Did you ever threaten to kill Cindy
Marks? No, I did not. Are you a liar,

Winslow? Objection.

Disdain. If Cindy Marks were to say she
feared physical danger from you, would

she be a liar?

She would certainly be mistaken.

If Cindy Marks were to say she feared
physical danger from you, then three

later turned up decapitated, that would
only be a little coincidence.

Objection. There's no evidence of any
threats or any statements by Cindy Marks

concerning threats.

The objection is sustained. I don't want
to hear any more mention of threats,

Ms. Gamble.

You stated you loved Cindy Marks. Yes.

You two were emotionally involved.

Yes, I suppose so.

Upon discovering her dead and
dismembered body, you simply returned

that your testimony?

Yes. You never called the police.

I explained that.

And that doesn't mean that I wasn't
horrified by her death.

You ever share your horror with anyone?

No. The next day, what did you do?

I went to work.

Did you have a nice day at work, Doctor?

After discovering the mutilated body of
someone you loved, when you decided not

to notify the police, was it because you
were afraid of being implicated in the

affair or implicated in her death?

I suppose both.

In your medical training, you did a
rotation in psychiatry. A long time ago.

me ask you, in your experience, when a
person at a crime scene chooses to run

from that crime scene, would that be
more an indication of innocence or of

guilt? I am innocent.

Are you a liar, Dr. Winslow?

Objection!

exactly where we started.

He had an affair with her and he was at
the scene the night of her death.

That's all they've established, period.

Do they have a fingerprint on the murder
weapon?

They don't even have the weapon.

Do they have a credible eyewitness?

They don't have any eyewitnesses.

Where's the case?

He didn't seem upset enough the day
after that he went to work?

Where's the

He had an affair with the victim and he
was in her apartment.

That's their case in its entirety.

Now, you want to believe that Jeffrey
Winslow is guilty?

I suppose you could.

But beyond reasonable doubt?

And let's not forget, despite the
district attorney's great efforts to

Jeffrey Winslow as a liar, he didn't
have to tell you he went back there that

night.

Prosecution never told you that.

Jeffrey did.

Jeffrey did.

Because he was under.

And under oath, he told you another
truth.

He didn't.

The evidence points to a surgeon.

Possible it wasn't? Sure, but likely.

The evidence points to consensual sex.

Possible it was rape with no bruising?
Sure, but likely.

The evidence proves he was there that
night.

Possible he just happened to walk in
after?

Sure, but likely.

The victim was killed the same way a
woman showed up dead in his hospital

he got to read the autopsy report.

Possible that's just a coincidence?

Sure.

But likely?

They've got a lot of possibilities.

And in each and every instance, they're
asking you to accept the most unlikely

of explanations.

How's this?

He knows there's a serial killer who
decapitates and severs hands.

And yet, according to his testimony,
when he walked in that room and saw

Marks decapitated with severed hands,
his very first instinct was, oh no, they

might think I did this.

Isn't that a little odd?

Wouldn't the natural reaction be, it's
obvious who did this?

It's the poet?

And wouldn't he assume that the police
officers would say the same?

Is it possible to believe what Jeffrey
Winslow is telling you?

Sure.

But remember, his very own wife, as

devoted as she was in that witness
chair, she told her neighbor.

Thank you.

The defendant will please rise.

Mr. Foreman, please read out your
verdict.
