All language subtitles for The Practice s04e17 Black Widows

When did this happen? Eight days ago.

Why didn't the hospital notify the
police?

Admitting says he wasn't convinced the
crime had been committed. I don't

it. He also says he wanted her to heal
first before asking any tough questions.

That may be true. She's been read her
rights?

Twice. She didn't ask for a lawyer. She
hadn't said anything. She won't talk.

Hi, Jenny.

My name's Helen Campbell.

I'm the district attorney.

I know you're scared.

Being brought in by the police, you must
be terrified.

But I'm not the police, okay?

And I think I can help you.

But you're going to have to trust me
first.

I just want to leave.

And I will make sure you do.

But first, I... I just want you to tell
me what happened, okay?

Now, Dr. Matthews said you tried to kill
yourself. Is that true?

Can you tell me why?

Because... I know this stuff is hard to
talk about, so tell you what.

I'll tell you what I do know, and you
can fill in some of the blanks, all

Your mom threw you out of the house.

When did she throw you out, Jenny?

The day before.

The day before you tried to take your
life?

Yes.

Did she throw you out because she was
angry that you were pregnant?

Yes. And you were seven months.

Why was she so upset, do you know?

She used to always say, don't go and get
knocked up.

It was a big thing with her.

So when she found out, she kind of went
berserk and stuff.

Told me my life would be ruined and... I
don't know.

What about your dad?

I don't have a dad.

My mother doesn't even know who he is or
was.

I think that she got knocked up.

I was probably the baby that ruined her
life.

You being pregnant, this was sort of a
huge disaster, huh?

Were you upset when she threw you out of
the house?

Yes.

Is that the reason you tried to kill
yourself?

Probably.

Are you really going to help me?

You have my word.

I saw that after you stabbed yourself, I
see you then got yourself to a

hospital.

Did you then decide you really wanted to
live?

Yeah. It was hurting so bad, I just
wanted the pain to go away.

Did you really think you would kill
yourself by stabbing yourself in the

stomach, Jenny?

I don't know.

When I was 19, I got pregnant.

I had an abortion.

I was way too young for a baby.

What are you, 15?

Look, it's okay.

You need to talk about this. You can't
try to bear this alone.

Trust me.

I tried to keep everything inside, and
it caused me more pain than anything

in my whole life.

It's okay to talk about it, Jenny.

When you stabbed yourself, you were only
trying to kill the baby, weren't you?

It's okay, Jenny. You're only 15 years
old. For you to try to raise a child

mom had thrown you out of the house.

You were only trying to kill the baby.
Isn't that right?

You thought if you could make the baby
go away, things would be better.

It's okay, sweetheart.

I'm going to help you.

But first I'm going to send someone in
to write down the things we talked

Then I'm going to help you get out.

I promise.

Get her statement.

This is the first trial of its kind
where a woman is actually being charged

fornicating her husband to death.

Jeez, it's an original.

She's now accused of inducing his heart
attack with sexual intercourse.

The defense firm of Donald Young Dole
and Frudge is... Hey, I gotta run down

the courthouse. Favor for Helen's on a
homicide case.

Helen's asking me to favor on a homicide
case?

I'll call you when I know more. ...to
bother some men, however.

In one of the more amusing polls, 33 %
of the men said they would nevertheless

still want to have sex with the Black
Widow, fully knowing she might then try

kill them.

I would.

Ew.

3 -2 -6 -2 -2. Commonwealth versus
Jennifer Holbrook. Murder in the first

degree. Eleanor Frost for the defendant.

Wave reading. We enter a plea of not
guilty.

Helen Gamble for the Commonwealth. Your
Honor, I'd like to conference. I think

we can dispose of it today.

A first degree murder case?

I'd like to conference.

Let's go.

Jenny?

I'm Eleanor Fratt, and I'm your attorney
here. And right now, I'm going to go

back there, and I'm going to talk to the
judge and the district attorney, and

then I'm going to come back and talk to
you, okay?

Okay. Okay, it's very important that you
don't talk to anybody about this.

Nobody.

It's a prior bad act, an admissible
under... It goes to pattern, Your Honor.

killed her last husband. She killed this
one. She killed neither, and two cannot

make a pattern anyway. She could have
killed her first husband as well. That

would make three. Her first husband died
of cancer. What are you saying?

She's clever.

Settle down.

I'll remove you all if I have to.

Your Honor, my client was never charged
with the murder of her previous husband.

She was and still is suspected.

Three marriages, three dead husbands.
That's a pattern.

I'm going to allow it.

Appealed. So noted. Anything else? No,
Your Honor. Is the Commonwealth ready

trial? Ready, Your Honor. Mr. Donald?

Ready. Two o 'clock. Till then.

Unless you don't see all colors try.

Just preserving the objection for
appeal. The truth is, I want them to

this stuff.

Why?

Because it's been in the papers for
months. There's no way those jurors

heard of it. We'll need to address it,
Courtney.

They're not calling you the Black Widow
because you're like bugs.

She was thrown out of the house by her
mother. She's never had a father. She's

15 years old.

I'd just like to do this quietly before
it becomes front page of the Metro

section, which it would be.

What's your offer?

I'll give involuntary manslaughter three
years. That way she's out when she's 18

instead of 21.

She might have a shot at a life.

Well, I need to look at her file. I'll
talk it over with her, but that sounds

great.

Gamble said she'd help me.

She is, Jenny. Trust me.

Involuntary manslaughter is a very good
offer considering this happened in your

third trimester.

You could be out by the time you're 18.

And even if we went to trial and won on
diminished capacity, you're still

looking at as much time.

So I should plead guilty?

Well, first I want you to undergo a
psychiatric exam.

Then I'd like to review your statement
and the police report a little more,

but... Yes, it's an excellent deal, and
I think we should jump at it.

Has your mom come to see you yet?

I don't think she even knows.

Could you tell her?

Sure.

I'm going to get Lucy Hatcher, my
assistant, to come in and talk to you.

going to need to get you some new
clothes for court.

Okay. All right.

I'm going to be in touch.

And were you able to determine the cause
of death, doctor?

Acute cardiac arrest.

You did toxicology tests?

We did.

Anything remarkable in those tests?

We found traces of the drug commonly
known as Viagra.

I never ever prescribed Viagra for
Jerry.

Did you ever talk about Viagra with him?
Yes, we did.

And I told him in no uncertain terms,
taking that drug would be a death

sentence. Why is that, doctor?

Jerry had a weak heart. He'd gone
through two separate bypass operations.

The very last thing he should have been
taking is a pill to facilitate sexual

marathons. The reason you had talked
about Viagra with Jerry Hansen is

he wanted it. Isn't that right, Doctor?

Yes, but I... Thank you. In addition to
being Jerry Hansen's doctor, were you

also his friend?

Yes, I was.

His death was very upsetting for you. Do
they teach that in law school?

It's upsetting when friends die. Doctor?

Of course I'm upset.

And if you believe my client was
responsible for his death, you want to

convicted, wouldn't you?

Objection. Goes to bias.

You've made the point. Move on.

Doctor, you said Jerry wanted to perform
better with my client.

Yes.

Sexually perform.

Yes, sexually perform.

She wanted him to perform better, and he
wanted to perform better. She played

these mind games with him, made him feel
inadequate.

Well, if he were feeling inadequate,
could that be why he wanted the Viagra?

Possibly, but I... And if you wouldn't
give it to him, you make no room for the

possibility that he might go get it
someplace else. Well, why was it ground

and put into wine? Move to strike. If he
wanted to take it... Move to strike.

She laced the wine and killed him.

That's enough.

Doctor, did you advise Jerry Hampton to
refrain from sexual intercourse

altogether?

No. I told him to be very careful and
take it slow.

Well, then, why couldn't he take the
drug just to help him perform, but

carefully and slowly?

People with heart conditions do use this
drug sometimes. Isn't that right,

Doctor? Yes, but I didn't think it was
indicative for Jerry. Why not?

Because knowing Jerry, I was afraid he
would try to keep up with her.

And add Viagra, his heart might give out
before... And knowing Jerry's nature.

He wouldn't have the sense to stop.

Was that your fear?

Yes.

Thank you, Doctor.

Miss Holbrook?

Yeah. My name is Eleanor Frutt. I'm an
attorney.

What do you want?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

She dead?

Who?

Jenny.

Oh, no, no, no, no. She's not dead.

But her baby is, and she has been
charged with its death. She's in custody

and I'm representing her.

What's going to happen to her?

Well, she may have to go to a juvenile
detention center until she's 18. That's

what we're hoping for.

Three years?

Baby lasts a lot longer than that. She
made out good.

Yeah.

We tested the wine. The results
indicated there were remnants of Viagra

And what, if any, conclusions did you
draw from this detective?

That the Viagra had been ground up and
put into the wine.

Her previous husband, Mr. Carter, died
of an insulin overdose.

Accidental? There was evidence to
support that he was killed by the

who was still married to him at the
time.

What evidence?

He was a diabetic. He gave himself
insulin injections daily and had been

years without incident.

And here we had a massive overdose.

It was hard for us to believe that he
could have made such a huge mistake.

Latent fingerprints on the syringe
matched the defendant.

She inherited under the will, which gave
financial motive.

You never charged Mrs. Hanson with Mr.
Carter's death?

No, we were never able to collect enough
evidence.

In fact, the truth is, you had no
evidence, other than your suspicion.

Isn't that right, Detective?

Her prints were on the syringe.

She could have handed him the syringe
like she said.

Possible.

Possible. We're missing something.

Why?

Their case is lousy. It's all
circumstantial innuendo. Marsha Scott is

DA and she hasn't put anything on the
table.

We're missing something.

Courtney.

Are we?

No. I mean... What's your son gonna say?

Just what we talked about.

But he's had an agenda from the
beginning. He never even wanted me to

father in the first place.

Why?

He was afraid I'd kill him.

Because of all the suspicion around my
previous husband's death.

Well, they must think he's some kind of
witness because they're resting on his

testimony.

We're missing something.

They could rest by midday tomorrow, so
let's go over your testimony.

I go first?

You're first and last. You're all we
have.

How'd it go?

All right.

Did you tell her mother?

Yeah, you know what she said? Three
years, not so bad. A baby lasts longer

three years.

Eleanor, Helen told her she could leave.

She also told Jenny about her own
abortion and how she needed to talk

I think she was tricked into that
confession.

She told you she had an abortion?

Yes. And what else?

Just how hard it was for her and how she
made it worth by keeping it all inside.

She said it would be better for me to
tell her and that if I did, she'd make

sure I could leave jail.

What else?

She just kept saying how, you know, she
understood how I would want to make the

baby go away.

And...

How my life... I thought she'd help me.

She never said I'd be convicted of
murder.

She never said that.

My first husband?

How is he relevant?

Well, we have to cover the old thing.

All your husbands were.

Years older. It's a question the jury
will be asking, and I'd like to answer

It's not something I really want to get
into on the witness stand in front of a

room full of reporters.

Well, get into it now, and I'll decide
whether it's useful or not.

I, uh... began to develop when I was 11.

My older brother's friends were copping
fields by the time I was 12.

When I was 15, college guys were hitting
on me.

Even now, your colleague, Mr. Berluti.

And even you.

Have your thoughts.

Me? What have I done?

Get beside the point. The point is, I've
been on my guard with men my whole

life.

The only man I ever felt safe with
growing up was my dad.

So, I suppose on some level, my
attraction to older men is

more about... I'm being drawn to the
safety of...

I don't know.

I hope that you don't feel that I've
been... You've been nothing but totally

professional.

But I know when a man's attracted to me.

Sometimes even before he does.

Your Honor, you didn't tell her? I don't
want her prepared.

3 -2 -6 -2 -2, Commonwealth versus
Jennifer Holbrook, murder in the first

degree.

Your Honor, both parties offer joint
recommendation as discussed in

I'm sure Miss Holbrook... Actually, Your
Honor, defense rescinds its agreement

on the plea and instead brings a motion
to suppress Miss Holbrook's confession.

Eleanor. On what grounds?

My client's statement was a result of
coercion. It was also obtained in

violation of her Fifth Amendment rights.
What are you talking about? Miranda, my

client didn't understand. She was read
her rights twice. And then she was

basically unread them, Helen. What?

What's going on here? Ms.

Gamble told my client that if she gave a
statement, she would get to leave.

Basically, Your Honor, where Miranda
says anything you say may be used

you, Ms. Gamble told her anything you
say may be used to help you.

Miss Holbrook is 15 years old, still in
the throes of a pretty big emotional

wallop, and she believes the promises
that Miss Gamble made. Oh, come on.

Have you ever had an abortion?

She talked to my client about her very
own abortion in order to get Jenny to

admit that she killed her unborn child.
The only thing that matters for the

purpose of a confession is was the
suspect read her rights and did she make

statement voluntarily.

She was. She did. And I contend she was
confused in respect to her rights,

deliberately confused, and that the
statement was not voluntary.

All right.

I'd like to see Ms. Harbrook and
Chambers, please.

Excuse me?

Is there a problem with me asking a few
questions, counsel?

Nice ambush, Eleanor. You know, don't
talk to me about ambush, Helen. You used

me. I did no such thing. You figured I'd
be less inclined to doubt your motives

and I don't like it. My motive was to
help that girl. And what was it when you

went into that room to interrogate her?
To get her statement. Having got a

confession, I did have compassion for
her. That is why I came to you. I don't

know how in good conscience you can
trick a 15 -year -old. Your client is a

murderer, Eleanor.

You're angry. I understand.

But don't appeal to me unconscious.

I was suspicious of her from the very
beginning.

Why was that?

My father was in his 70s.

Frail. He wasn't what anybody would call
attractive.

Nor was he at all charming.

And she falls in love with him?

Did your father ever talk to you about
his relationship with the defendant?

Sometimes.

Specifically, what did he talk about?

Specifically, sex.

He said she was insatiable.

He once said that... Objection, hearsay.
Did he ever seem upset when he spoke of

sex? Once he was very excited, yes.

What did he say then?

Objection. Excited utterance, exception
to the hearsay rule. And he just

happened to use that word excited. This
witness has been coached. I object to

that. All right.

Mr. Donald, your objection is overruled.
Please sit. The witness may answer the

question. What did your father tell you,
Mr. Hanson?

He said she would make love so
physically sometimes.

It was violent.

Almost sadistic.

He wondered whether she was trying to
give him a heart attack.

What else, sir?

He said she'd taunt him during sex.

Taunt him to go harder.

Like some weird psychological
punishment.

I have nothing further, Your Honor.

Did she say, I'm going to put Viagra in
his wine and then make love to him till

he suffers a coronary? Because that
would be good testimony, Mr. Hanson.

you should have her say that.

Objection. Withdrawal.

Did your father feel his life was in
danger?

Well, I think a little he did.

Did you take him seriously?

Yes. Did you notify the police, talk to
my client, express your concern?

No. So you weren't concerned.

You took the danger seriously, but he
didn't concern you.

What was I supposed to do? Go to the
police and say...

Hey, I think my stepmother is trying to
intercourse my father to death.

If you were concerned, yes.

Tell me, Mr. Hanson, if my client is
convicted of murder and becomes

disqualified from the inheritance, who
then takes under the will?

That would be me. That would be you. Do
you think I'm sitting in this chair

today because of money?

That's exactly what I think. I think
you're a liar.

Objection. I think your testimony was
false.

Calculated. Objection. Are you lying to
get your father's money? Counsel.

It's just a little too damn convenient
for me. I'm sorry. My client is being

charged with murder for inducing a heart
attack, and you get up here and say,

gee, my father told me he was afraid
she'd give him a heart attack, when you

never said that to anybody before, Mr.
Hanson. And you remember to add he was

excited when he said it to get around
the hearsay rule.

Well, probably at the district
attorney's coaching. Objection! It's

little too convenient. He's badgering.
Damn right I am. I badger life. Mr.

Young, that's enough.

You said she makes love in a violent
way.

That's what he said. What's violent to a
70 -year -old man? I don't know. Well,

did you ask?

Your father says violent. You don't
follow that up and say, Dad, what do you

mean? I wish I had.

You said she talks.

She's sadistic.

She pathologically punishes him, and you
don't even go to her and say what's

going on?

What kind of caring son are you?

Maybe I should have done that. Do you
know what perjury is, Craig? Objection!

You're under oath here, Mr. Young!

I'm done.

And since... You know, she was an
attorney.

I thought... I thought she would make it
so I could leave.

But when you signed this statement...
She said that if I told them exactly

happened, it would be better for me by
not keeping stuff inside.

And I... She told you she had an
abortion?

Yes. And how terrible it was for her
that she kept stuff buried inside and...

You lied to me.

I trusted you and you lied to me. All
right, Jenny.

The detective told you, did they not,
that the things you said could be used

against you in a court of law?

Yes.

But then she came in and she's an
attorney and she said they wouldn't be.

Jenny,

I think...

I'd like you to wait outside for a
minute.

Keep her here, please.

Aren't we resourceful?

None of her civil rights were violated.
Did you have an abortion?

No.

Tricks are used in interrogations all
the time. This was a lie.

Lies, too.

There's nothing unconstitutional about
lying to a suspect so long as they

understand their rights, which he did.

I disagree with that. She didn't
understand her rights. Oh, come on.

can all try to get inside this girl's
head, but that's not the way it goes.

We have constitutional do's and don'ts.
We didn't commit any of the don'ts.

The statement is valid and admissible.

That's my decision.

I'm going to think about it.

We'll reconvene at 2 o 'clock.

May I say something?

You're all thinking about Jenny
Holbrook.

I wasn't called in to talk to Jenny
Holbrook.

I was brought down to question a murder
suspect.

A suspect who killed a baby. A suspect
who wouldn't talk to the police.

Now, the morality of how I tricked her
has no relevance.

This isn't a moral arena. It is a legal
one.

And everything I did was legal. And she
has this backstory and a fragile

personality and an abusive mother. It
all seems just so awful now.

Here's a flash.

Killers don't like to talk.

It's not easy getting these confessions.

Tag a bunch of moral strings now on top
of the constitutional ones. We will

never get anybody.

He brought the Viagra.

Your husband did? Yes.

Did he say where he had gotten it?

No. And then you put it in the wine?

Yes. He had 50 milligrams, one pill, and
while we were talking about the fact

that it was now being reported that
women got benefits from taking it too,

more for a laugh than anything else, we
ground up the pill and we sprinkled it

into our wine.

And then?

After dinner, we watched some
television, then we went to bed, and we

And the effects of the Viagra.

Well, it definitely works.

And at some point... Jerry grabbed his
chest.

He was having a heart attack.

I called 911, performed CPR, but by the
time the paramedics got there, he

was gone.

There's been testimony that you were
extremely physical.

And that you taunted... That's
completely false. Craig Hansen was

His father never said those things to
him. Our lovemaking was never very

physical. It was certainly not violent.

My husband had a heart condition, and we
were always mindful of it. Both of us.

You say your husband brought the Viagra?

That's right.

Did you ever get Viagra from your
doctor?

No. Ever talk to her about the virtues
of Viagra for women?

Well, yes, we had discussed that.

Okay. I have nothing further, Your
Honor.

Counsel.

The witness may step down.

Mr. Donald.

The defense rests, Your Honor. The
Commonwealth calls one rebuttal witness,

Gail Parent.

Who is it?

She's my doctor.

Defense objects, Your Honor. Sidebar.

This is my client's own doctor.

What's your offer of proof?

She's prepared to testify she gave the
defendant Viagra samples two days before

Jerry Hansen died.

It's... Privileged doctor, patient
relationship. She waived privilege. She

opened the door. How? During her
testimony. She had the right to assert

privilege. She didn't. She talked about
her doctor when I asked her. That is so

bogus. You can't selectively assert
privilege, Your Honor. The woman did

questions about things she discussed
with her physician.

I'm going to allow it. You've got to be
kidding me.

She opened the door.

I knew we were missing something.

That was their ace.

You got the Viagra from your own doctor?

I was afraid of how it would look if...
People would think that I secretly put

it in his wine.

Did you?

No. It happened exactly as I said. It
didn't happen as you said.

You got the Viagra and now they caught
you in a lie.

Our whole case was your testimony, your
credibility, and now it's shot.

Don't yell at me. You lied to us,
Courtney.

I didn't kill him. We were making love.

I didn't kill him. Well, that's how it
looks.

After your doctor testifies, you have to
get back up there and explain to the

jury why you lied.

And I hope you're good.

I was just so afraid of how it would
look.

Everybody thinks that I killed my last
husband. I was afraid if they knew that

was the one who procured the Viagra...

So you lied.

Yes.

But we both agreed to put it into the
wine.

Courtney, why should the jury believe
you now?

I don't have an answer to that.

Why should anybody believe that I could
fall in love with an older man? But I

did.

I did.

Let's talk about that.

You've fallen in love with three older
men.

For whatever reason, I've found safety
in older men.

They're not as predatory, I suppose.

I was telling Mr. Donald that it
probably goes to the safety that I found

my own father.

You felt safe with your dad?

Your dad died serving time in Carteret
Prison in New Jersey, didn't he?

He was convicted of raping you when you
were nine years old.

He was wrongly convicted.

It never happened.

Your mother and your sister walked in on
it.

Mrs. Hanson, it never happened.

Your Honor, could I have time to confer
with my client?

No, you may not.

You don't find safety with these older
men, do you, Mrs. Hanson? You find your

anger, your hatred.

He was wrongly convicted.

It never happened.

So, Courtney, any other surprises?

Never happened.

Be seated.

Well, Miss Gamble, you're completely
right. There is nothing illegal or

unconscious. about deceiving suspects
into giving statements. It's done all

time. But still, I can't help but think
that somehow we've lost our way.

The whole point of our constitutional
safeguards is to protect the suspects

against police misconduct.

Maybe you wanted the letter of the law
here, but the spirit of it took a

beating.

The defense counsel's argument that a
Mirandized suspect was in effect de

-Mirandized is a valid one.

She's 15.

By the time you got through with her,
she believed she'd help herself by

talking. It doesn't make sense that you
can read somebody her rights so she'll

understand, only then to deliberately
confuse her and smile with a

constitutional wink.

It would seem that the players in our
system could at least act in good.

But as a judge, I'm bound by precedent,
and trickery still

survives any constitutional challenge.

I suppose Ms. Gamble said it best.

This is a legal arena, not a moral one.

The statement is allowed.

We'll conference next Tuesday at 9 o
'clock to set a trial date.

adjourned.

Well, there's certainly been a few
surprises here today.

And watching Courtney Hanson on the
stand, maybe she's got some denial

about what happened to her as a child.

Maybe it didn't really happen.

Obviously, the prosecution wants you to
believe that she's acting out her anger

against these older men she married.
It's a theory.

But at the end of the day, that's all
they have.

Suspicion, jealousy, innuendo, theory.

There is no evidence to establish that
you purposely caused Jerry Hansen to

a heart attack.

Suspicion? Yes.

But evidence?

What is it?

Jerry Hansen told his son he was afraid
the

way she pushed him during intercourse.

And yes, we can consider the way her
previous husband died because it's a

pattern.

Rich old men, death, she inherits.

If his father said he felt danger, why
did this loving son do nothing?

If she gets convicted, he inherits
everything.

Why is this loving son suddenly making
noise as the will goes to probate?

She ground up that Viagra so he wouldn't
detect it. Come on.

A man with a weak heart, two bypasses,
she has intercourse for over an hour?

If that... isn't reckless disregard,
then what is?

A man with a weak heart, prone to
pushing too hard, has a coronary.

charging murder.

That's out there to begin with. To prove
it, you better have some pretty strong

evidence. They don't have any.

They're asking you to convict with
suspicion.

Why did she lie?

If she's innocent, why didn't she just
take that stand and tell us the truth?

But she didn't do that, did she? She
lied.

Afraid you might get the right idea.

Murder, too?

Chance of parole.

If you get convicted of first degree,
you go away forever.

Do you think I'll be convicted?

Strictly on the evidence, you shouldn't
be, but I'm not so sure the jury won't

look beyond the evidence.

The insulin OD of your last husband,
that'll hurt.

You lying on the stand.

I didn't do it.

26 minutes.

They have a verdict?

What does that mean?

In this case, I have no idea. They could
have easily said no evidence, or they

could have just quickly concluded that
you're guilty. I have no idea.

Well, if we're going to take the deal...
Courtney...

It's your call.

I'll take my chances.

Courtney, the jury's not looking over.

on the table.

I hate to rush you.

Okay.

Your Honor.

We've reached a plea.

Murder in the second degree. It's too
late. The jury's returned its verdict.

It's not too late. The verdict hasn't
been entered. We are about to enter it,

Captain. It's not entered. We have a
right to reach a plea.

I'll file an interlocutory appeal. We'll
go upstairs and we'll argue it.

You really want to do this? We're fine
with it. It'll spare us an appeal.

I don't like these last -minute stunts,
Mr. Donald. It's not a stunt.

It's a legitimate plea agreement.

Mrs. Hanson.

Do you agree to plead guilty to murder
in the second degree?

I do, Your Honor.

So entered.

Members of the jury, thank you for your
service. This matter is adjourned.

Sentencing, 2 o 'clock Friday.

Mr. Donald, I'm not big on passing notes
in class, but you can keep this.

I think we did the right thing.

I'll be in. We need... We need to talk
before sentencing.

I think we did the right thing.
