Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,140
He was a law clerk?
2
00:01:58,820 --> 00:02:03,080
Terry Lasher. I met him that day at the
courthouse. I had no idea that's who I
3
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,080
was talking to.
4
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,760
Makes sense, though. Two of the suspects
are judges. The other one's an
5
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,020
attorney. Yeah, I guess he stumbled onto
whatever it is they're up to and didn't
6
00:02:12,020 --> 00:02:13,020
know what to do about it.
7
00:02:14,020 --> 00:02:15,120
Should've just turned him in.
8
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:16,900
Bad career move.
9
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Nobody likes a whistleblower but the
press.
10
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:21,480
Wouldn't have tipped him off.
11
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:25,350
I think I did.
12
00:02:26,530 --> 00:02:27,369
You did?
13
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:30,650
I must have shaken them up so bad today
they started following me.
14
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:34,170
I recognized him, figured out what was
going on, and shot him.
15
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:38,310
I just found the slug.
16
00:02:38,530 --> 00:02:39,530
38 caliber.
17
00:02:40,250 --> 00:02:43,450
Lab will know quick enough whether it
came from the same gun that killed
18
00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:44,450
Wright.
19
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:47,810
Did you check up on Tom O 'Hara?
20
00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:50,550
I sent a unit to his house as soon as I
got your call.
21
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:54,600
He was there. Said he had... Come home
at 7 and been there ever since.
22
00:02:54,900 --> 00:02:55,900
Alone.
23
00:02:56,700 --> 00:03:00,720
I don't suppose he told you where he was
the night Howard Wright was murdered.
24
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,480
Working in his office.
25
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,680
Alone.
26
00:03:04,260 --> 00:03:05,300
So what do we do now?
27
00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:09,660
I'm damn fine though, Conrad. I guess we
just keep doing what he said.
28
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Look for the money.
29
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:18,980
Here's another one.
30
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:26,920
$370 ,000 was deposited into the Conner
Corporation account on 8 -28 -90.
31
00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:31,720
That makes close to $3 million, all
coming into the company within the last
32
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,539
three years.
33
00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:33,540
But where's it coming from?
34
00:03:34,620 --> 00:03:36,240
It has to be money they've gotten
illegally.
35
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,420
Maybe they're using the Conner
Corporation to launder it.
36
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,900
Well, we're talking about judges and
attorneys here, not drug dealers.
37
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800
I mean, what could they be into that
involves that kind of money?
38
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:47,140
Anybody want more coffee?
39
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:48,420
Yeah, I do. Thanks.
40
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,280
What do you have?
41
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,540
Sam Bergstrom. Who's Sam Bergstrom?
42
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,920
Connor Corporation wrote him a lot of
big checks.
43
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,300
Every time Tom O 'Hare and David Bennett
got one, he got one too.
44
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:05,980
Only his were for deposit only into an
account at the South Security Bank of
45
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:06,980
Savannah.
46
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,080
How much gas you got in your car?
47
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,140
Superior Court is now in session.
48
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,720
The Honorable Judge Diana Levin is
cited.
49
00:04:24,049 --> 00:04:27,370
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have
you reached a verdict?
50
00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:30,450
Yes, Your Honor, we have.
51
00:04:30,930 --> 00:04:36,130
The jury finds for the plaintiff on all
causes of action, damages for lost
52
00:04:36,130 --> 00:04:41,010
profits are found in the amount of $2 .2
million, for general damages in the
53
00:04:41,010 --> 00:04:46,410
amount of $5 million, and for punitive
damages in the amount of $1 .3 million.
54
00:04:47,070 --> 00:04:48,070
Thank you.
55
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:49,690
There's been a long, hard case.
56
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,320
We appreciate your performing your civic
duties. You are discharged.
57
00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:58,100
This court will stand in recess until 2
o 'clock.
58
00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:00,740
I can't believe it.
59
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,920
I still can't believe it. We did it. We
won the case.
60
00:05:07,180 --> 00:05:08,880
You deserve to win, Jim. It's called
justice.
61
00:05:09,260 --> 00:05:10,260
You think they'll appeal?
62
00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:14,600
They might, but I doubt it. $8 million
for Maxwell Toys is not that much money.
63
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:16,500
It may be cheaper for them just to pay
off.
64
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,440
You know about that letter? No, that
doll was your idea.
65
00:05:19,950 --> 00:05:22,470
You sent them a letter, and they stole
what was in it, right?
66
00:05:22,710 --> 00:05:25,310
Right. You are entitled to the money,
Jim.
67
00:05:26,090 --> 00:05:29,710
So there's no need to talk about that
letter now or ever again.
68
00:05:30,110 --> 00:05:31,570
Okay? Okay.
69
00:05:32,150 --> 00:05:33,150
You take care.
70
00:05:37,650 --> 00:05:38,650
Hey,
71
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:40,950
Mr. O 'Hare.
72
00:05:42,310 --> 00:05:43,310
Congratulations.
73
00:05:43,850 --> 00:05:44,990
Thanks. Yeah.
74
00:05:45,750 --> 00:05:48,250
What's your usual contingency? One
-third?
75
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:50,150
Boy, hell,
76
00:05:50,930 --> 00:05:54,630
you just made nearly $3 million in
there.
77
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:58,530
Is this what a special prosecutor does
all day, Mr. Matlock?
78
00:05:59,010 --> 00:06:01,030
Hangs around the courthouse harassing
people?
79
00:06:01,870 --> 00:06:06,530
Oh, no, no, no. I never harass people
unless I'm thinking of prosecuting them.
80
00:06:07,570 --> 00:06:10,250
Now, I told you before, I barely knew
Howard Wright.
81
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:12,550
Maybe that's why you killed him.
82
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,820
Maybe you weren't sure of how he would
react when the police started
83
00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:22,600
him about that evidence that he
misplaced in the Jimmy Giles case.
84
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,700
You're out of your mind. I know about
the money you've been getting from the
85
00:06:28,700 --> 00:06:31,480
Conner Corporation, you and Judge
Bennett.
86
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,360
And when I find out why you've been
getting it, I may just come after you
87
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,100
the murder of Terry Lashley. All right,
that's it.
88
00:06:40,590 --> 00:06:44,310
I've had it with cops showing up on my
doorstep every time somebody dies in
89
00:06:44,310 --> 00:06:45,450
town, and I've had it with you.
90
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:50,950
If I hear you've repeated this
preposterous story to anyone, I'll thaw
91
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:55,330
defamation suit that will leave you
financially crippled for life.
92
00:06:55,690 --> 00:06:56,790
Do you hear me?
93
00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:04,310
I think everybody in the parking lot
heard you.
94
00:07:06,050 --> 00:07:07,050
No.
95
00:08:15,340 --> 00:08:16,340
it, please.
96
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,840
I'm too old for this. Will you stop it?
97
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,160
Stop it.
98
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,200
Hey, wait a minute.
99
00:08:26,980 --> 00:08:29,940
Hey, sir.
100
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,059
Is his bark worse than his bite?
101
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Actually, his bite's pretty bad.
102
00:08:54,570 --> 00:08:57,630
Do you take him a walk every night at
this time?
103
00:08:58,230 --> 00:09:02,570
Well, it's good to keep a dog on
schedule. Makes things more predictable.
104
00:09:02,810 --> 00:09:05,250
7 .53 p .m. every night.
105
00:09:05,510 --> 00:09:07,950
Bethany's lawn, come rain or come shine.
106
00:09:08,350 --> 00:09:09,350
Hey.
107
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:16,750
Last Wednesday night, when you passed
the Wright's house over there, did you
108
00:09:16,750 --> 00:09:19,350
or hear anything out of the ordinary?
109
00:09:21,550 --> 00:09:23,470
Last Wednesday night.
110
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,660
The night Howard Wright was killed.
111
00:09:28,620 --> 00:09:32,300
No. No, I'm sorry. You did see
something.
112
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:34,500
Wait a minute.
113
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,880
Who are you?
114
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,100
My name is Ben Matlock. I'm a lawyer.
115
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:41,560
Well, I don't want to get involved.
116
00:09:42,100 --> 00:09:45,060
If you saw something, you have to get
involved.
117
00:09:45,340 --> 00:09:46,340
It's your duty.
118
00:09:47,340 --> 00:09:50,480
I just don't want some killer coming
after me next.
119
00:09:50,980 --> 00:09:52,680
That won't happen.
120
00:09:52,970 --> 00:09:54,550
That won't happen. I promise.
121
00:10:05,170 --> 00:10:06,170
Mr.
122
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:11,230
O 'Hare?
123
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:14,930
Mr. O 'Hare, you're under arrest for the
murder of Howard Wright.
124
00:10:16,430 --> 00:10:20,010
What? We have an eyewitness who saw you
leaving the scene of the crime.
125
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:22,740
That's it, Matlock. You were warned and
you're going to pay.
126
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,500
Just come with us, Mr. O 'Hare.
127
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,460
That's it, Mr. O 'Hare. You can't have
enough practice insurance to cover the
128
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:32,060
charges I'm going to bring against you.
Your career is over, Mr. Matlock.
129
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,560
You'll never make another mistake.
130
00:10:34,140 --> 00:10:35,140
You're going to die.
131
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,620
You're going to die.
132
00:10:36,860 --> 00:10:41,520
You'll never make another mistake.
133
00:10:42,940 --> 00:10:43,940
You'll get over it.
134
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Wild gets used to sitting over here.
135
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,040
Who's Mr. O 'Hare got defending him?
136
00:11:20,500 --> 00:11:25,360
Chester Gaddis, member of the bar in
five states, hasn't lost a murder one
137
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,360
yet.
138
00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:34,820
There's something I want you to find out
about him.
139
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,040
How much he charges.
140
00:11:36,180 --> 00:11:37,180
Yeah.
141
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,220
Moving right along to the matter of
bail.
142
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,900
Does the, uh...
143
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,700
prosecution have any recommendations?
144
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,840
Ah, yes, sir.
145
00:11:47,580 --> 00:11:53,420
Not only has the defendant been charged
with the heinous crime of premeditated
146
00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:58,800
murder, but he is considerably wealthy
and has no family to bind him to the
147
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:05,280
community. The defense prosecution
therefore recommends bail be set at one
148
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,280
million dollars.
149
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:08,460
Defense?
150
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:19,040
My client has been accused of a heinous
crime, yes, but proven guilty, no.
151
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,200
Not only has he been an officer of the
court for 15 years, but his
152
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:30,620
to various philanthropic activities have
made him a pillar of the various
153
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:33,340
community the state would now have you
believe he wishes to flee.
154
00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:36,580
I see no risk here, whatever.
155
00:12:37,020 --> 00:12:39,960
I recommend bail not exceed $100 ,000.
156
00:12:40,810 --> 00:12:42,690
I tend to agree, Mr. Ganders.
157
00:12:44,110 --> 00:12:46,250
Bill is set at $100 ,000.
158
00:12:46,830 --> 00:12:47,830
Thank you, Your Honor.
159
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:49,150
He's good.
160
00:12:50,430 --> 00:12:51,850
Your dress is funny.
161
00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:06,690
Hi.
162
00:13:07,990 --> 00:13:09,470
I'm looking for Sam Bergstrom.
163
00:13:10,010 --> 00:13:11,150
What can I do for you?
164
00:13:11,410 --> 00:13:12,410
You're Sam Bergstrom?
165
00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:15,430
The one that has an account over at the
South Security Bank?
166
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:19,790
Life is too short to be writing Samantha
out all the time.
167
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:22,010
Who are you?
168
00:13:22,910 --> 00:13:25,350
I'm Russell Yeager, ma 'am. I'm from the
IRS.
169
00:13:25,890 --> 00:13:26,890
May I come in?
170
00:13:28,030 --> 00:13:32,290
Invite somebody from the biggest group
of crooks in the country into my home?
171
00:13:33,970 --> 00:13:34,970
Not in your life.
172
00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:38,670
Well, I need to ask you a few questions,
ma 'am.
173
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:43,960
Go ahead.
174
00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:50,300
We know some rather large checks from
the Conner Corporation up in Atlanta
175
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:54,720
been deposited in your account over the
last couple of years. Are you an
176
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,720
employee of theirs?
177
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,700
No. Well, then why are they paying you
all that money, ma 'am?
178
00:14:01,100 --> 00:14:04,620
Why do you want to know? Well, there
have been some irregularities at the
179
00:14:04,620 --> 00:14:05,620
Corporation.
180
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,320
We're auditing all their expenditures.
181
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,220
You're not auditing me. You? No. No.
182
00:14:14,570 --> 00:14:16,130
That money belongs to my niece.
183
00:14:16,490 --> 00:14:17,409
Your niece?
184
00:14:17,410 --> 00:14:21,290
Yes. Her accountant suggested that she
keep it in my name for tax purposes.
185
00:14:22,270 --> 00:14:26,790
I don't understand all the ins and outs,
but I'm sure it's quite legitimate in
186
00:14:26,790 --> 00:14:28,030
view of her job and all.
187
00:14:28,570 --> 00:14:29,570
Which is what?
188
00:14:29,830 --> 00:14:30,830
She's a judge.
189
00:14:32,330 --> 00:14:33,610
Judge Diana Levin.
190
00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:37,170
Got your message. What's up?
191
00:14:39,310 --> 00:14:41,830
I'm a bad man, Your Honor.
192
00:14:42,930 --> 00:14:45,470
I'm the one who slipped your clerk that
note.
193
00:14:45,850 --> 00:14:47,310
We need to talk.
194
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:48,770
Yes.
195
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:57,210
An associate of mine spoke to your aunt
down in Savannah today, and you've been
196
00:14:57,210 --> 00:15:01,450
getting payoffs from the Connor
Corporation, just like Judge Bennett
197
00:15:01,450 --> 00:15:02,450
Tom O 'Hare.
198
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:05,810
Those aren't payoffs. Those are
consulting fees.
199
00:15:06,450 --> 00:15:07,450
I don't think so.
200
00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:10,130
I think the three of you...
201
00:15:10,380 --> 00:15:14,680
are using the Connor Corporation to hold
and distribute money that you've come
202
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,680
by illegally.
203
00:15:15,860 --> 00:15:20,840
You are dead wrong. I know your scheme
has something to do with Maxwell Toys.
204
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,940
And when the truth comes out in court,
and it will, you'll go down right along
205
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:32,020
with Mr. O 'Hare. So unless prison is
something you're just dying for, if I
206
00:15:32,020 --> 00:15:33,740
you, I'd tell me what's going on right
now.
207
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,300
You called this meeting to offer us a
deal? One time only.
208
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,500
Oh, and to give you this.
209
00:15:43,580 --> 00:15:47,980
Rapina, you are wasting your time and
mine.
210
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Well, I don't have anything more to say
to you either.
211
00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:55,860
Okay.
212
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,440
I guess I'll see you both in court.
213
00:16:02,260 --> 00:16:03,260
Joe.
214
00:16:27,630 --> 00:16:29,350
To be honest, I'm not sure why I'm here.
215
00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:30,910
Please.
216
00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:36,370
Some wine? No, thank you.
217
00:16:42,130 --> 00:16:43,130
Michelle.
218
00:16:48,950 --> 00:16:54,890
Michelle, I, uh... I swear to you, I
didn't have anything to do with Howard
219
00:16:54,890 --> 00:16:55,890
Wright's murder.
220
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,840
I didn't do it, and I don't know who
did.
221
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,380
You've got to tell Ben Matlock to back
off before he ruins me.
222
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,260
That's why you asked me to come here?
223
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:08,880
I meant something to you once, Michelle.
224
00:17:09,339 --> 00:17:11,079
I don't deserve this, and you know it.
225
00:17:11,660 --> 00:17:15,020
Just tell him the truth. Tell him it
wasn't me. I can't believe you try to
226
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:16,020
me like that.
227
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,220
What choice do I have?
228
00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:20,040
My back's against the wall. I can't do
anything else.
229
00:17:20,300 --> 00:17:21,300
You can tell it the truth.
230
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,480
I am, I swear.
231
00:17:22,780 --> 00:17:24,619
The money you get from the Connor
Corporation.
232
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,660
Where did it come from?
233
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,740
I'm sorry. If you want it to help you,
you're going to have to tell it the
234
00:17:37,740 --> 00:17:38,740
truth.
235
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,640
You, uh... You've turned into one tough
lady, Michelle.
236
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:50,840
I'm not sure it becomes you.
237
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,600
David, you're in a great deal of
trouble.
238
00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:56,850
I'd like to help you.
239
00:18:01,850 --> 00:18:04,650
Not to you.
240
00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:16,830
What did you see?
241
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:22,480
When you walked your dog past Howard
Wright's house that night, Mr. Spalding,
242
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:27,600
saw a man rushing out of the garage,
jump into his car, and go tearing out of
243
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,800
there. And is the man you saw that night
in this courtroom today?
244
00:18:33,100 --> 00:18:34,100
Oh, yeah.
245
00:18:34,180 --> 00:18:35,560
He's sitting right over there.
246
00:18:36,860 --> 00:18:42,360
Let the record show that the witness has
pointed to the defendant, Tom O 'Hare.
247
00:18:42,820 --> 00:18:45,920
You remember what time it was you saw
him? Around 8 o 'clock.
248
00:18:46,180 --> 00:18:47,149
You sure?
249
00:18:47,150 --> 00:18:51,670
Positive. It's always around that time
that Otis and I pass the Wright's house.
250
00:18:51,950 --> 00:18:54,190
It's good to keep a dog on schedule.
251
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:55,830
Yes, you told me that.
252
00:18:56,290 --> 00:19:02,210
So you're sure the man you saw leaving
the scene of the crime at about 8 o
253
00:19:02,210 --> 00:19:07,570
'clock, which the coroner has
established to be the approximate time
254
00:19:07,570 --> 00:19:11,850
murder, you're sure that man was the
defendant Tom O 'Hare?
255
00:19:12,850 --> 00:19:13,850
Positive.
256
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:15,470
Thank you.
257
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,800
Cross -examine.
258
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:27,060
Mr.
259
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:29,840
Spalding.
260
00:19:32,420 --> 00:19:39,260
Where were you and Otis the night you
saw this person leaving
261
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:40,139
the garage?
262
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:41,900
At the end of the driveway.
263
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,260
And could you see his face clearly after
he entered the car?
264
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:48,720
No.
265
00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:57,000
So the only time you saw him was after
he exited the garage and just
266
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,620
before he entered the car. Is that
correct? Right.
267
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:07,900
And approximately what distance was it
from the garage to the car?
268
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,200
Oh, maybe ten feet.
269
00:20:13,220 --> 00:20:16,440
And approximately how long did it take
him to cover that distance?
270
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,960
Six, seven seconds.
271
00:20:19,580 --> 00:20:20,620
Six seconds?
272
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,120
To cover ten feet?
273
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,100
I thought you said he was in a hurry.
274
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:30,540
Well, uh... Maybe three, four seconds.
275
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Three seconds. Tops. I timed it.
276
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,200
I also measured the distance from the
end of the driveway to the garage.
277
00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:39,880
That's 38 yards.
278
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:41,600
Does that sound about right to you?
279
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,120
I guess so.
280
00:20:45,610 --> 00:20:50,410
Can you guess how many lights
illuminated the garage door?
281
00:20:51,430 --> 00:20:52,990
Two, three, one.
282
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:57,550
How's your eyesight, Mr. Spalding? You
wear glasses?
283
00:20:58,130 --> 00:20:59,130
Only for reading.
284
00:20:59,250 --> 00:21:04,190
So your vision isn't exactly perfect.
No, it's not perfect, but I don't find
285
00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:07,850
Did you happen to catch the license
plate on the car that night, Mr.
286
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:10,430
No. Did you catch the make of the car?
287
00:21:11,370 --> 00:21:12,370
No.
288
00:21:14,510 --> 00:21:15,530
How about the color?
289
00:21:17,650 --> 00:21:18,650
Color?
290
00:21:21,870 --> 00:21:23,530
Beige, yellow, something like that.
291
00:21:25,210 --> 00:21:27,670
How about the man's clothes? What color
were they?
292
00:21:30,250 --> 00:21:31,250
Dark.
293
00:21:34,130 --> 00:21:35,130
Dark.
294
00:21:36,910 --> 00:21:40,450
Mr. Spalding, I don't doubt you saw
someone that night.
295
00:21:40,810 --> 00:21:42,330
But whoever it was.
296
00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:50,110
You saw him from a distance of 38 yards
by the light of a single 40 -watt
297
00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:53,910
bulb for a grand total of maybe three
seconds.
298
00:21:55,310 --> 00:21:58,890
He can't remember what his car looked
like. He can't remember what his clothes
299
00:21:58,890 --> 00:21:59,629
were like.
300
00:21:59,630 --> 00:22:05,310
Mr. Spalding, you can't say for sure
that was my client, can you?
301
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,820
I guess I can't.
302
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,640
Thank you.
303
00:22:25,900 --> 00:22:26,980
I hate him.
304
00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:28,580
I don't.
305
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,140
He reminds me of you.
306
00:22:31,100 --> 00:22:35,480
Michelle, he's sneaky, conniving,
deceitful. That's the cruelest thing you
307
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:39,100
said to me. Oh, Ben, I just meant he's
good, that's all. I mean, you gotta give
308
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:39,739
him that.
309
00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:40,740
Like hell I do.
310
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:44,840
He's not good.
311
00:22:45,220 --> 00:22:49,520
Okay. He's probably the best beating the
devil out of us.
312
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,220
I'm ready to cut a deal.
313
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,580
You've known the defendant for how long?
314
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,600
About ten years.
315
00:23:11,060 --> 00:23:12,060
Friends?
316
00:23:12,780 --> 00:23:17,200
They're not close friends, more like
business associates.
317
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,580
What kind of business, Judge Bennett?
318
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,460
A couple of years ago, shortly after I
was appointed presiding judge, Tom O
319
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:31,400
'Hare came to me with a proposition.
320
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:36,020
He said if I'd assign myself to a multi
-million dollar lawsuit that he'd...
321
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,960
just filed and use all my powers as
presiding judge to see to it that the
322
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:47,820
ruled in his client's favor, he would
split his one -third of the
323
00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:48,820
judgment with me.
324
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,780
So that's what we did.
325
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,280
Did it work?
326
00:23:55,740 --> 00:23:57,420
So well that we did it again.
327
00:23:57,740 --> 00:23:58,740
Many times.
328
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,440
Do you mean to tell me that a judge can
actually fix a trial?
329
00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:05,780
Well, it's a...
330
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:11,040
Obviously a very subtle thing, but...
Yes? Weren't you afraid that somebody
331
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,720
would catch on to your scheme?
332
00:24:14,740 --> 00:24:17,860
Very. That's why we eventually got a
second judge involved.
333
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,700
Judge Diane Eleven?
334
00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:22,340
Yes.
335
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:26,880
Instead of assigning all these cases to
myself, I was able to assign some to
336
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,580
her. That way, I could avert suspicion.
337
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,359
Go ahead.
338
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:37,500
She had a friend named Glenn Connor
who... owned a holding company, the
339
00:24:37,500 --> 00:24:38,500
Corporation.
340
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:46,680
I'm showing you a ledger which was
seized by search warrant from
341
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:53,380
the Conner Corporation offices and which
by stipulation with counsel will be
342
00:24:53,380 --> 00:24:57,580
marked People's Exhibit 37 and entered
into evidence.
343
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:00,160
Now, how was the money laundered?
344
00:25:02,140 --> 00:25:05,500
After winning a judgment, Tom would
instruct his client to...
345
00:25:05,820 --> 00:25:10,600
Pay as usual, one -third contingency fee
in the form of a cashier's check made
346
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,040
payable to a bank in the Bahamas.
347
00:25:12,620 --> 00:25:17,840
Like these three checks here for $125
,000 to each of you.
348
00:25:18,380 --> 00:25:19,380
Yes.
349
00:25:19,860 --> 00:25:26,280
And that was ostensibly for consulting
work.
350
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:27,900
That's correct.
351
00:25:28,380 --> 00:25:31,200
But you never did any consulting work
for them, did you?
352
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,400
No.
353
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:40,600
Now this... This check here, I hear, for
$75 ,000, made out to
354
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Howard Wright. What was that for? That
was his payment for losing a vital piece
355
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,540
of evidence in a case he was prosecuting
against Jimmy Giles, the man accused of
356
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:49,800
breaking into Maxwell Toys.
357
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:53,340
And who directed the Connor Corporation
to make the payment?
358
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,720
Tom O 'Hare.
359
00:25:56,180 --> 00:26:00,020
He was protecting Giles, whom he'd hired
to plant evidence for him.
360
00:26:00,300 --> 00:26:01,300
How do you know?
361
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:02,500
He told me.
362
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:04,400
Did he tell you anything else?
363
00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:05,860
Yes, he did.
364
00:26:06,060 --> 00:26:10,540
He told me that he was afraid that
Howard would break down and confess if
365
00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:11,540
confronted by the police.
366
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:13,620
Oh.
367
00:26:14,540 --> 00:26:18,820
Oh, and if that had happened, what would
have happened to Mr. O 'Hare?
368
00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:22,700
He would have been disbarred and
probably gone to prison.
369
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,420
But that never happened, did it?
370
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,460
Instead, Howard Wright was murdered.
371
00:26:30,180 --> 00:26:31,180
Nothing further.
372
00:26:34,540 --> 00:26:36,200
Does defense wish to cross?
373
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:45,460
I've been sitting here quietly, Judge
Bennett, because I've been waiting
374
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:48,040
for proof.
375
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,980
And the problem is that you don't have
any.
376
00:26:58,380 --> 00:27:00,660
I mean, you can't prove...
377
00:27:00,910 --> 00:27:05,630
that my client was involved in this
ingenious plan of yours, can you?
378
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:07,870
Of course I can. Just look at that
ledger.
379
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:15,670
Oh. Well, this doesn't prove that my
client never did any consulting work for
380
00:27:15,670 --> 00:27:18,070
the Connard Corporation, does it? Well,
I know I didn't.
381
00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:24,770
I don't give a damn if you took money
under false pretenses, Judge Bennett.
382
00:27:25,390 --> 00:27:29,950
The question is, can you prove that my
client did?
383
00:27:32,010 --> 00:27:38,930
Well, can you prove that he paid Howard
Wright to deliberately lose a
384
00:27:38,930 --> 00:27:39,930
piece of evidence?
385
00:27:39,950 --> 00:27:45,050
No, but he... Oh, but can you prove that
he told you that he was afraid Howard
386
00:27:45,050 --> 00:27:51,330
Wright was going to get him disbarred?
No, but... No, but you cannot prove
387
00:27:51,330 --> 00:27:57,390
a single word of your testimony against
my client.
388
00:27:57,630 --> 00:28:00,950
You certainly haven't offered any
evidence that would involve him in
389
00:28:00,950 --> 00:28:01,950
Wright's death.
390
00:28:02,150 --> 00:28:05,170
Nor can you offer such evidence, can
you?
391
00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:07,470
Judge Bennett.
392
00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:08,610
It's what happened.
393
00:28:08,850 --> 00:28:11,050
Just because I can't prove it doesn't
mean it isn't true.
394
00:28:11,310 --> 00:28:12,930
Were you supposed to take your word for
it?
395
00:28:14,290 --> 00:28:15,290
Yes.
396
00:28:15,950 --> 00:28:17,370
I think not.
397
00:28:20,790 --> 00:28:21,910
No further questions.
398
00:28:24,250 --> 00:28:25,610
Witness may step down.
399
00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:26,830
Yeah.
400
00:28:27,190 --> 00:28:30,050
Ben, Bob Brooks just got this from the
police lab.
401
00:28:34,470 --> 00:28:36,230
This is inexcusable.
402
00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:41,430
Mr. Matlock has had the police
department at his full disposal since
403
00:28:41,450 --> 00:28:46,250
For them to produce evidence on his
behalf this late in the day, it's
404
00:28:46,250 --> 00:28:47,250
outrageous.
405
00:28:47,730 --> 00:28:53,130
Mr. Gaddis is absolutely correct, Your
Honor. The police lab took way too long
406
00:28:53,130 --> 00:28:54,210
to complete this analysis.
407
00:28:54,970 --> 00:28:57,310
I wish we could have gotten it to him
much earlier.
408
00:28:58,990 --> 00:29:04,090
Well, I just resent being thrown a curve
this halfway through a trial.
409
00:29:05,270 --> 00:29:09,230
You had full disclosure, Mr. Gaddis, and
you knew they were running tests.
410
00:29:09,770 --> 00:29:14,310
A half -day recess should give you ample
time to work the result into your
411
00:29:14,310 --> 00:29:15,310
defense.
412
00:29:15,510 --> 00:29:17,850
Now, let's get back in there.
413
00:29:18,550 --> 00:29:22,390
We'll put your witness on the stand, Mr.
Matlock, and then recess till tomorrow.
414
00:29:26,090 --> 00:29:27,090
I don't like this one bit.
415
00:29:27,910 --> 00:29:29,050
I don't blame you.
416
00:29:32,310 --> 00:29:39,210
Lieutenant Brooks, when the police
arrived at Howard Wright's house the
417
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:44,530
night of the murder, they found a fresh
puddle of transmission fluid outside his
418
00:29:44,530 --> 00:29:45,530
garage. Is that correct?
419
00:29:45,870 --> 00:29:46,809
Yes, we did.
420
00:29:46,810 --> 00:29:47,810
Where did it come from?
421
00:29:48,150 --> 00:29:52,870
A comparative analysis performed after
the defendant was arrested shows it came
422
00:29:52,870 --> 00:29:53,870
from his car.
423
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,900
Meaning the defendant's car was parked
outside his garage that night?
424
00:29:59,140 --> 00:30:03,260
Yes. Doesn't necessarily mean the
defendant was in the garage, though,
425
00:30:03,420 --> 00:30:09,160
No, but we also found a varnish on the
floor of Howard Wright's workshop that
426
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,660
night. Apparently it had spilled during
the shooting.
427
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,240
Forensics has isolated traces of that
exact same varnish on the fibers of the
428
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,800
floor mat on the driver's side of the
defendant's car.
429
00:30:20,350 --> 00:30:22,170
as well as on the bottoms of his shoes.
430
00:30:22,410 --> 00:30:26,810
In other words, the defendant was in
Howard Wright's garage the night of the
431
00:30:26,810 --> 00:30:28,150
murder, wasn't he? Objection.
432
00:30:28,750 --> 00:30:29,750
Calls for a conclusion.
433
00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:30,990
Withdraw the question.
434
00:30:31,690 --> 00:30:34,710
Thank you, Lieutenant Brooks.
435
00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:36,510
Nothing further.
436
00:30:38,490 --> 00:30:39,490
Mr. Gattis?
437
00:30:40,570 --> 00:30:41,570
No question.
438
00:30:41,890 --> 00:30:43,110
Witness may step down.
439
00:30:44,110 --> 00:30:46,610
This court is in recess until 9 a .m.
tomorrow.
440
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,020
You lied to me, Tom.
441
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,680
Chester, I didn't kill him.
442
00:30:57,140 --> 00:30:58,140
You were there.
443
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,920
The jury knows you were there. I was
there.
444
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,360
But I swear I didn't kill him. The whole
subject of my case was proving that you
445
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,360
weren't there.
446
00:31:08,180 --> 00:31:11,580
I discredited the eyewitnesses. I
discredited the police.
447
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,320
And now I look like a fool.
448
00:31:15,820 --> 00:31:19,600
But you, Tom, you look like you're
guilty.
449
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,960
What do we do now?
450
00:31:27,340 --> 00:31:28,600
I'm putting you on the stand.
451
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:32,400
Is that a good idea?
452
00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:34,680
It's the only idea.
453
00:31:36,220 --> 00:31:40,020
I don't want to put any pressure on you,
but this better be the greatest
454
00:31:40,020 --> 00:31:41,260
performance of your life.
455
00:31:42,020 --> 00:31:45,240
Because if it's not, you'll spend the
rest of your life in prison.
456
00:31:59,470 --> 00:32:01,030
Everything David Bennett said is true.
457
00:32:03,510 --> 00:32:08,570
I conspired with him and Judge Levin to
fix the outcome of certain cases.
458
00:32:10,210 --> 00:32:15,310
And I paid Howard Wright to lose the
case against someone who was
459
00:32:15,310 --> 00:32:18,090
in my winning a multi -million dollar
lawsuit.
460
00:32:19,650 --> 00:32:21,110
But I did not kill him.
461
00:32:23,770 --> 00:32:26,010
What were you doing in his workshop that
night?
462
00:32:27,810 --> 00:32:33,010
Well, he was afraid the police were on
to him, so he asked me for $100 ,000 to
463
00:32:33,010 --> 00:32:34,150
leave town.
464
00:32:35,890 --> 00:32:41,350
So I got the money, and I stopped by at
8 to deliver it like we'd arranged.
465
00:32:42,770 --> 00:32:44,810
Only when I got there, he was dead.
466
00:32:47,170 --> 00:32:48,730
Somebody else had shot him.
467
00:32:50,290 --> 00:32:55,490
I swear under oath that I did not kill
Howard Wright.
468
00:32:58,250 --> 00:32:59,250
Thank you.
469
00:33:00,550 --> 00:33:01,550
Mr. Matlock?
470
00:33:05,610 --> 00:33:12,370
So... So you paid Howard Wright to lose
the
471
00:33:12,370 --> 00:33:16,310
evidence in a case against Jimmy Giles.
Is that right?
472
00:33:16,970 --> 00:33:18,370
I already said that, yes.
473
00:33:19,650 --> 00:33:25,210
Well, you had a very good reason to kill
him. I mean, if he had gone to the
474
00:33:25,210 --> 00:33:26,210
police, why...
475
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,200
You would have been ruined, wouldn't
you?
476
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,860
Yes. So you were paying him off.
477
00:33:32,860 --> 00:33:38,660
What would keep him from asking for
another $100 ,000?
478
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,700
Nothing. So you couldn't be sure.
479
00:33:44,380 --> 00:33:48,080
I mean, you couldn't be sure he wouldn't
ask for more. You couldn't be sure he
480
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,860
wouldn't go to the police. So you did
the only thing you could be sure of. You
481
00:33:51,860 --> 00:33:53,820
went to his house that night, didn't
you?
482
00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:55,260
Yes or no.
483
00:33:55,630 --> 00:33:58,030
Yes, I went to his house. And you killed
him? No.
484
00:33:58,770 --> 00:34:01,410
He was dead when I got there. I swear.
485
00:34:01,970 --> 00:34:08,389
So just like your counselor said to my
witness yesterday, we're just supposed
486
00:34:08,389 --> 00:34:09,810
take your word for it. Yes.
487
00:34:10,989 --> 00:34:12,429
I left the money there.
488
00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:14,909
You what?
489
00:34:15,270 --> 00:34:19,670
I was so frightened when I saw him that
I ran away without the money.
490
00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:22,590
You left $100 ,000?
491
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,020
The first thing I saw when I went in was
him on the floor.
492
00:34:26,420 --> 00:34:29,400
I thought he flipped in the varnish and
hit his head.
493
00:34:30,580 --> 00:34:32,900
I put my briefcase down and went over to
him.
494
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,300
Then I saw the blood.
495
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,500
All of a sudden, the alarm on his watch
went off.
496
00:34:41,060 --> 00:34:42,900
I ran out of there as fast as I could.
497
00:34:44,060 --> 00:34:46,520
I didn't even remember the money till
the next morning.
498
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,199
There was no briefcase found, let alone
$100 ,000.
499
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:54,900
Well, that may be.
500
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:56,940
But I left it there.
501
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:03,840
Mr. Matlock?
502
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:05,880
Are you finished?
503
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:14,960
Your Honor, I'd like to ask for a recess
till tomorrow
504
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:21,060
morning. We just had a recess, Mr.
Matlock. Do you have any idea how
505
00:35:21,060 --> 00:35:22,060
this court is?
506
00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:23,800
It's personally a good honor.
507
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,460
I don't feel so good.
508
00:35:26,700 --> 00:35:28,800
It must be something I ate for
breakfast.
509
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,640
This court is in recess until 9 .30 a
.m. tomorrow.
510
00:35:39,820 --> 00:35:40,820
You all right?
511
00:35:43,460 --> 00:35:44,460
I'm fine.
512
00:35:44,580 --> 00:35:48,040
I just had to make sure he gave me the
recess.
513
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,660
But you had that guy. Why'd you stop?
514
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:52,860
Because he's telling the truth.
515
00:35:53,580 --> 00:35:54,660
The truth?
516
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,740
Ben, that story about the money is
crazy.
517
00:35:57,460 --> 00:35:59,900
That's why he's got to be telling the
truth.
518
00:36:06,300 --> 00:36:12,420
I don't remember seeing a briefcase.
519
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,940
What did you do after you walked in and
found your husband?
520
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,840
I ran into the house, called 911.
521
00:36:20,810 --> 00:36:22,870
And I stayed in the house until the
police came.
522
00:36:23,450 --> 00:36:26,310
And you don't remember seeing or picking
up a briefcase?
523
00:36:27,530 --> 00:36:32,710
All I remember is seeing my husband
lying there, dead.
524
00:36:34,550 --> 00:36:35,550
I'm sorry.
525
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:37,550
I got it.
526
00:36:38,610 --> 00:36:40,030
I got the money right here.
527
00:36:52,330 --> 00:36:55,930
I just got a call from a man who said he
was a special prosecutor or something
528
00:36:55,930 --> 00:36:56,970
up there in Atlanta.
529
00:36:57,410 --> 00:36:58,410
Ben Matlock?
530
00:36:58,530 --> 00:37:00,010
Yes, Ben Matlock.
531
00:37:00,590 --> 00:37:06,070
Anyway, he asked me about the $100 ,000
you just wired to your account down
532
00:37:06,070 --> 00:37:07,070
here.
533
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:09,230
I mean, you know, our account.
534
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:10,850
What do you want to know?
535
00:37:11,110 --> 00:37:12,490
Where the money came from.
536
00:37:13,050 --> 00:37:14,050
What did you tell him?
537
00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:15,230
I didn't know.
538
00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:17,890
That's all I could tell him.
539
00:37:18,890 --> 00:37:20,070
Uh, dear.
540
00:37:20,940 --> 00:37:22,740
Is everything all right with you?
541
00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:25,860
Everything's fine, Aunt Sam.
542
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,120
It's nothing.
543
00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:32,740
But thank you for calling. And if he
calls you again, you let me know, okay?
544
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,320
All right, dear.
545
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:36,340
Goodbye, dear.
546
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,400
Bye.
547
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,260
The first -in -hand delivered some
documents to Frank Scansley. Where's his
548
00:37:50,260 --> 00:37:51,740
office? They're doing the right.
549
00:38:45,450 --> 00:38:46,450
Be seated.
550
00:38:48,990 --> 00:38:55,130
Well, did breakfast agree with you this
morning, Mr. Matlock? Oh, very well,
551
00:38:55,150 --> 00:38:56,430
Your Honor, very well.
552
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:57,670
Good.
553
00:38:58,090 --> 00:39:00,030
Mr. Gaddis, next witness.
554
00:39:01,110 --> 00:39:07,250
Your Honor, the state would like to
reopen its case in order to present an
555
00:39:07,250 --> 00:39:10,150
additional witness. I've already spoken
to Mr. Gaddis.
556
00:39:10,990 --> 00:39:11,990
Mr. Gaddis?
557
00:39:12,770 --> 00:39:14,590
I have no objections, Your Honor.
558
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,020
Very well. Call your witness.
559
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,300
The state calls Judge Diane Eleven.
560
00:39:22,220 --> 00:39:27,300
Approximately how much money did this
conspiracy between you and Tom O 'Hare
561
00:39:27,300 --> 00:39:29,820
Judge Bennett net you over the years?
562
00:39:30,220 --> 00:39:31,780
What conspiracy is that?
563
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:36,360
The same conspiracy that Tom O 'Hare and
Judge Bennett admitted to in this
564
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,240
courtroom. I don't know anything about
it.
565
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:39,600
Okay.
566
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,920
You have an aunt named...
567
00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:46,920
Samantha Bergstrom down in Savannah,
don't you?
568
00:39:47,140 --> 00:39:48,140
Yes, I do.
569
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:55,140
And there are deposits that you make
into her bank account and
570
00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:57,300
she does not. Is that correct?
571
00:39:57,740 --> 00:39:58,900
My aunt is elderly.
572
00:39:59,140 --> 00:40:04,040
I worry about her, so I send money that
I earn as a consultant to her bank in
573
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,040
case of emergency.
574
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,480
Come on now, come on.
575
00:40:08,180 --> 00:40:09,680
Sam Bergstrom.
576
00:40:11,100 --> 00:40:12,500
$125 ,000.
577
00:40:13,810 --> 00:40:17,310
Sam Bergstrom, $110 ,000.
578
00:40:18,330 --> 00:40:22,090
Sam Bergstrom, $95 ,000.
579
00:40:24,490 --> 00:40:30,430
That's exactly the same amount of money
that Tom O 'Hare and David Bennett got.
580
00:40:30,590 --> 00:40:35,870
And they admitted in this courtroom that
they were payoffs. Not consultant fees.
581
00:40:36,110 --> 00:40:40,210
Payoffs. I can only speak for myself,
Mr. Matlock.
582
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:42,050
That money...
583
00:40:42,380 --> 00:40:45,300
was for services I rendered as a legal
consultant.
584
00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:54,480
I subpoenaed the records of your aunt's
bank
585
00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:01,480
account, and all the deposits that were
made match exactly the checks
586
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:07,000
the Connor Corporation made out to her.
All except this last one, this last one
587
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,600
here. $100 ,000.
588
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,450
Deposited. The day after Howard Wright
was murdered. Where'd that come from?
589
00:41:16,770 --> 00:41:19,870
That was money I was keeping in a safe
deposit box.
590
00:41:20,430 --> 00:41:25,770
Are you sure it wasn't the money Tom O
'Hare left in Howard Wright's workshop?
591
00:41:26,750 --> 00:41:27,750
I'm positive.
592
00:41:28,430 --> 00:41:33,450
What if Howard Wright had told the
police about this conspiracy that Tom O
593
00:41:33,450 --> 00:41:34,450
roped him into?
594
00:41:34,590 --> 00:41:37,010
That would have been the end of your
career, too, wouldn't it?
595
00:41:37,330 --> 00:41:40,680
Again. I don't know anything about a
conspiracy.
596
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:51,400
Did Tom O 'Hare tell you he was going
over to Howard Wright's
597
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,060
house at 8 o 'clock that night?
598
00:41:53,460 --> 00:41:54,460
No.
599
00:41:55,260 --> 00:41:56,520
He told me he did.
600
00:41:56,860 --> 00:41:57,900
Must have lied.
601
00:41:58,380 --> 00:42:01,740
You sure you didn't get there ahead of
him and shoot Howard Wright to death?
602
00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:05,240
And then when Tom O 'Hare arrived ahead
of schedule...
603
00:42:05,900 --> 00:42:08,640
You hid so he wouldn't see you, didn't
you? No.
604
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,520
And then after he went tearing out of
there, you thought, well, why waste all
605
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,000
this money on a dead man?
606
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:19,900
So you took it and deposited it in your
aunt's account, didn't you?
607
00:42:20,340 --> 00:42:22,660
No. Bet you wish you hadn't done that.
608
00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:24,500
That's what put us on to you.
609
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:26,360
Mistake.
610
00:42:26,660 --> 00:42:30,620
She should have kept that cash and
bought some new shoes or a robe or
611
00:42:31,980 --> 00:42:32,980
Now, see you watch.
612
00:42:35,980 --> 00:42:39,840
Oh, it's got one of those alarms that
goes off every hour.
613
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:41,320
Another mistake.
614
00:42:41,420 --> 00:42:42,980
You should have left this at home.
615
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,580
Howard Wright didn't have a watch like
this.
616
00:42:45,820 --> 00:42:49,180
Neither did Tom O 'Hare. It was your
watch that went off that night, wasn't
617
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,000
Thousands of people have a watch like
this. That doesn't prove a thing.
618
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,280
But now, a murder weapon.
619
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,660
There would be proof.
620
00:43:02,340 --> 00:43:03,340
There would be proof.
621
00:43:05,070 --> 00:43:11,330
The gun that killed Howard Wright and a
law clerk named Terry Lasher. The
622
00:43:11,330 --> 00:43:16,190
riflings on both bullets and both
murders match exactly.
623
00:43:16,910 --> 00:43:20,530
Unfortunately, the gun has never been
found.
624
00:43:21,770 --> 00:43:25,270
That is, until yesterday.
625
00:43:26,130 --> 00:43:30,770
The police found it in a desk drawer in
the defendant's office.
626
00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:33,690
Then why on earth am I up here?
627
00:43:34,060 --> 00:43:35,220
Because you put it there.
628
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:47,360
I called your aunt down in Savannah
about that $100
629
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,360
,000.
630
00:43:48,900 --> 00:43:50,440
She called you, didn't she?
631
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,940
And then you did just what I figured
you'd do when you figured I was getting
632
00:43:55,940 --> 00:43:56,940
close.
633
00:43:57,860 --> 00:43:59,940
You killed two birds with one stone.
634
00:44:00,780 --> 00:44:04,260
You got rid of the murder weapon and you
did it in such a way as to strengthen
635
00:44:04,260 --> 00:44:06,700
the case against the defendant, didn't
you?
636
00:44:06,980 --> 00:44:07,980
No.
637
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,060
You ever see yourself on TV, Judge
Levin?
638
00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:23,620
We had TV cameras hidden all over Mr. O
'Hare's office.
639
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,840
But this is my favorite angle right
here.
640
00:44:27,370 --> 00:44:30,390
It shows his desk real clearly.
641
00:44:31,470 --> 00:44:33,390
And there you are. See?
642
00:44:33,630 --> 00:44:34,630
Isn't that you?
643
00:44:36,910 --> 00:44:40,210
Hiding that unregistered gun in his
desk.
644
00:44:42,650 --> 00:44:46,070
The gun that killed Howard Wright and
Terry Lasher.
645
00:44:48,650 --> 00:44:49,650
Why?
646
00:44:52,590 --> 00:44:55,810
So no one would ever know a person
647
00:44:56,970 --> 00:44:58,330
We really killed them.
648
00:45:02,050 --> 00:45:03,050
Was you.
649
00:45:14,010 --> 00:45:16,890
Very nice, Mr. Matlock. Back at you.
650
00:45:19,470 --> 00:45:22,230
Mr. O 'Hare has asked me to inquire.
651
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,620
Whether you would represent him in his
forthcoming trial for obstruction of
652
00:45:26,620 --> 00:45:29,660
justice, fraud, and about 12 other
felony counts.
653
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,960
Oh. Why don't you do it?
654
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,260
I've had about all I can take of Mr. O
'Hare.
655
00:45:37,340 --> 00:45:38,340
Me too.
656
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Nice suit.
657
00:45:46,100 --> 00:45:47,100
Nice tie.
