the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups:
3
00:00:29,897 --> 00:00:31,798
the police who
investigate crime...
4
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:34,596
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5

You always do fine. Stop

B-line tenants said
there's no hot water.

He's fixing the boiler, I

Hey, it goes with
the job these days.
27

The Super stops a break-in,
he gets his head bashed in.
28
00:02:27,547 --> 00:02:30,779
Looks like he's been moved.
Who touched the body?
29
00:02:31,551 --> 00:02:34,282
When we showed up, the
wife was holding him like a baby.
30
00:02:34,354 --> 00:02:36,823
She won't let go. I
think she was in shock.
31
00:02:36,890 --> 00:02:40,418
McKinnon, Frank, 44. Heard a
noise, came out with a hammer.
32
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:43,726
Everybody's got to be a hero.
33
00:02:44,264 --> 00:02:47,359
Broke the window trying
to get the security bar.
34
00:02:47,701 --> 00:02:51,138
Every piece of glass, even slivers.
Everything goes into Forensics.
35
00:02:51,204 --> 00:02:52,570
Did anybody get inside?
36
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,768
Doesn't look like it. He was in the
boiler room. When he came out...
37
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:57,538
they were probably
still working the door.
38
00:02:57,611 --> 00:02:59,910
He should've gone back in.
His tool kit had a knife in it.
39
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,505
At least he'd have a chance.
40
00:03:01,581 --> 00:03:04,449
Should've gone back
in and called 911.
41
00:03:04,885 --> 00:03:08,413
Why'd he go out by himself?
I mean, why didn't he call me?
42
00:03:08,989 --> 00:03:11,049
This is Detective Briscoe.
43
00:03:11,124 --> 00:03:13,787
Mr. McKinnon's
son, Sean. Hi, Sean.
44
00:03:15,262 --> 00:03:18,460
You know, if I'd worked on the
boiler like he wanted, I mean...
45
00:03:18,532 --> 00:03:21,001
none of this would have
happened. I could have...
46
00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:24,163
Sean, why don't you take
care of your mom. Okay?
47
00:03:27,574 --> 00:03:30,635
ME says one blow
did the job. Crackhead?
48

Makes you mad, makes you
strong. Tell you one thing...
49
00:03:33,947 --> 00:03:36,507
if we don't get good prints,
goes to the three-day and dies.

What the hell is this?

Oh, honey. Uncle Ned, why
are you here? What is this?
54
00:03:47,427 --> 00:03:49,726
There was a break-in and
your father tried to stop them.
55
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:51,560
So, where is he? Is he okay?
56
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:53,463
Oh, my God! Oh, no!
57
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:55,263
No. Please!
58
00:04:45,752 --> 00:04:47,730
There's only been two
robberies in, I don't know...
59
00:04:47,754 --> 00:04:48,778
a couple of years.
60
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:50,983
Okay, so as far as you
know, he was well-liked...
61
00:04:51,057 --> 00:04:52,702
no problems with anybody
in the neighborhood.
62
00:04:52,726 --> 00:04:55,457
I never heard any. I mean, the
building was crazy about him.
63
00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:57,555
Just this morning he
was here fixing the sink.
64
00:04:57,631 --> 00:05:00,100
I mean, most Supers, you
have to open your wallet first.
65
00:05:00,167 --> 00:05:01,294
Frank wouldn't take a dime.
66
00:05:01,368 --> 00:05:03,701
Nancy, it's Frank McKinnon.
67
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:06,296
Some burglars beat
him up. He's dead.
68
00:05:06,373 --> 00:05:07,773
Oh, my God!
69
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:10,276
It was around 9:30.
Were you home?
70
00:05:10,343 --> 00:05:12,403
Did you hear any
noise, maybe shouting?
71
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,414
Who listens? The
whole city shouts.
72
00:05:14,481 --> 00:05:15,881
Wait, 9:30...
73
00:05:15,949 --> 00:05:18,783
Yeah, I was coming from the
video store. I did hear an argument.
74
00:05:18,852 --> 00:05:20,377
I thought it was
2A, the Horowitzes.
75
00:05:20,453 --> 00:05:22,354
Him and his
brother-in-law again.
76
00:05:22,422 --> 00:05:25,187
Nancy, darling, they went to
the country on Wednesday.
77
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:28,353
Oh, you're right. Okay, but
you heard two men yelling, right?
78
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:32,160
Yeah, but I thought it was
Nat Horowitz. I didn't even look.
79
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:36,063
No prints on the door,
unusable partials on the hammer.
80
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,168
Similar M. O. In
the neighborhood?
81
00:05:38,238 --> 00:05:40,605
Fire escapes, windows,
but no basements.
82
00:05:40,674 --> 00:05:42,370
Break-in at 9:30.
83
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,238
That's not a pro.
84
00:05:44,511 --> 00:05:46,673
Crackheads or kids.
85
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,675
Gets hit with his
own hammer. Now...
86
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:53,618
if I was the kind of kid who broke
into buildings, I'd probably be armed.
87
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:55,952
I got to admit, the same
thing occurred to me.
88
00:05:56,022 --> 00:05:57,650
A gun, at least a knife.
89
00:05:57,724 --> 00:06:00,853
Hey, you want to look for holes,
I got one as big as my kitchen.
90
00:06:00,927 --> 00:06:03,419
Noisy boiler room,
the guy's hammering...
91
00:06:03,496 --> 00:06:06,022
and he hears glass
break in the hall?
92
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:10,936
Talk to Forensics. I'll run a
family, see if anything pops.
93
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,006
Suppose this guy broke
into his own building?
94
00:06:15,075 --> 00:06:18,443
Oh, sure. He forgot the key.
Blood on the broken glass.
95
00:06:18,511 --> 00:06:20,742
The ME also sent over
a sample of the victim.
96
00:06:20,814 --> 00:06:22,646
How close? It's perfect.
97
00:06:22,716 --> 00:06:24,844
It's the same blood. What?
98
00:06:25,252 --> 00:06:26,481
Well...
99
00:06:27,187 --> 00:06:29,019
maybe it's one
of our guys did it...
100
00:06:29,089 --> 00:06:31,729
got the victim's blood on his
gloves before he picked up the glass?
101
00:06:31,758 --> 00:06:33,488
Maybe.
102
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:38,525
Medill.
103
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,327
Your Lieutenant calls.
104
00:06:44,471 --> 00:06:45,871
Yeah, Logan.
105
00:06:48,375 --> 00:06:49,673
For what?
106
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:55,039
Frank McKinnon's daughter's
got a juvenile record.
107
00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:57,380
Criminal Possession Four. Okay.
108
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:58,577
She got a counselor?
109
00:07:01,955 --> 00:07:03,651
Maureen had a big coat.
110
00:07:03,723 --> 00:07:05,715
Went through Macy's,
filled it with gold...
111
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:08,352
lipsticks, and enough
clothes for an army.
112
00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:10,563
I had an uncle who
had a coat like that. He
113
00:07:10,587 --> 00:07:12,695
used to load up the
pockets with ashtrays.
114
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:16,294
The boy Maureen hangs
with, ashtrays aren't on his list.
115
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:23,267
Mitchell Lewis, 16, truant, runaway,
possession three, juvenile assault.
116
00:07:23,977 --> 00:07:26,071
Just the kind of kid
I'd like for my daughter.
117
00:07:26,146 --> 00:07:27,512
Not a lovely boy.
118
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:30,573
Maureen's okay, just takes
her anger out on herself.
119
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:32,183
Who doesn't?
120
00:07:32,252 --> 00:07:34,084
Says her brother's smart.
121
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:36,316
One genius in a
family is enough.
122
00:07:36,790 --> 00:07:39,350
And there was a problem at home.
123
00:07:39,426 --> 00:07:41,190
Something about her father.
124
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:42,354
Is that a problem?
125
00:07:42,429 --> 00:07:44,898
Half the kids in America don't
get along with their parents.
126
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:48,265
Not like this. Maureen's
run away a couple of times.
127
00:07:48,335 --> 00:07:51,362
She won't tell me. She
might have told Mitchell.
128
00:07:51,438 --> 00:07:55,466
What am I hearing? Daddy was
a little too close to the daughter?
129
00:07:55,575 --> 00:07:58,602
Could make her run
away, look for protection.
130
00:07:58,745 --> 00:08:02,045
Mitchell had a scream-out
with Dad. Dad called the cops.
131
00:08:02,115 --> 00:08:04,710
Myself, I needed help,
I wouldn't pick Mitchell.
132
00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:07,083
No, we'll pick him.
For today, at least.
133
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,587
Where can we find him?
134

I don't have to be home to cry.

She don't need you for nothing.
She needs you, though, Mitch.
138
00:08:21,768 --> 00:08:23,737
Just so she can
get busted again.
139

Where were you
last night? With me.
140
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,542

You taking me in?

We understand that Mitch didn't

No, Frank didn't like him.

Mitch killed Frank?

I mean, they argued
a couple of times, but...
153

What about?
154
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:13,476
I told you. Frank wanted
Maureen to stop seeing him.

All right, now. Your daughter
says he was with her last night.

I don't know.
160

00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:14,448
You know her boyfriend?
172
00:10:15,248 --> 00:10:16,580
Mitch.
173
00:10:16,683 --> 00:10:18,345
Well, yeah, I met him.
174
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:20,216
Yeah, you see him last night?
175
00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:24,920
Oh, no. I know what
you guys are thinking,
176
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:26,482
but that kid? I mean, he...
177
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,927
He couldn't have done it. We
heard he was angry at your dad.
178
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:32,254
Yeah, but...
179
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:34,062
No, I don't think so.
180
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:35,644
Sean, let me ask you something.
181
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:37,694
You were in your room studying.
182
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:39,500
Your father's outside
having a fight...
183
00:10:39,572 --> 00:10:42,007
but your window's
right on the alley...
184
00:10:42,075 --> 00:10:43,976
and you didn't hear anything?
185
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:47,106
Look, I don't know why
you guys are doing this, but...
186
00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:50,014
I was in the kitchen
awhile and the radio was on.
187
00:10:51,151 --> 00:10:53,620
I'd have gone out if
I'd heard something.
188
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:57,887
Yeah. Good luck on that test.
189
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:04,160
Holes just keep getting bigger.
190
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:06,927
The mother says maybe the
daughter's boyfriend did it...
191
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,593
but she won't give
you enough to move.
192
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:11,502
Yeah, and admit her
husband's doing their daughter?
193
00:11:11,571 --> 00:11:14,803
We gave her a chance. She'll
dance on his grave before she tells us.
194
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:17,070
Hell, she'll jump in
it before she tells us.
195
00:11:17,143 --> 00:11:21,046
Something here doesn't play. Loved
by his tenants. Sweetest guy on earth.
196
00:11:21,114 --> 00:11:23,709
Is that the picture of a
guy who molests his child?
197
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:26,378
None of this plays.
McKinnon's Mr. Clean...
198
00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:29,388
he doesn't take tips, lives
in a basement apartment.
199
00:11:29,455 --> 00:11:32,482
How's he afford to pay
prep school tuition for the kid?
200
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,360
We don't know enough about this
man. Let's ask somebody who might.
201
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:44,103
I own that building 16 years.
Frank McKinnon's been with me 11.
202
00:11:45,138 --> 00:11:47,573
Anybody that honest,
you got to wonder.
203
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,609
That's a lovely view
of human nature.
204
00:11:49,676 --> 00:11:52,646
Calling a Super crooked
is like calling the sky blue.
205
00:11:53,012 --> 00:11:54,105
McKinnon?
206
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:55,978
He wouldn't steal
cheese from a rat.
207
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,575
Sounds like he's practically
a friend of the Tooth Fairy's.
208
00:11:58,651 --> 00:12:00,381
He was soft on the tenants.
209
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:02,786
He fixes things they
should have paid for.
210
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:04,448
The only thing I
worried about...
211
00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:06,322
liability insurance. I wondered.
212
00:12:06,392 --> 00:12:07,985
Maybe he drank a little bit.
213
00:12:08,061 --> 00:12:10,496
So did I, but it didn't make
me a bad insurance risk.
214
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:12,725
Bet you didn't break as
many bones as he did.
215
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,631
What? Accidents.
216
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:16,593
Four, five times
in the hospital.
217
00:12:16,669 --> 00:12:18,831
I mean, it's got to
be the bottle, right?
218
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:20,430
Which hospital?
219
00:12:20,773 --> 00:12:24,073
February, cracked collarbone.
He slipped on the ice.
220
00:12:24,143 --> 00:12:27,944
April, steam from the boiler.
First degree burns on his back.
221
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:30,576
Who stands backwards
at a boiler that long?
222
00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:32,710
The admitting nurse
wanted to know, too.
223
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:36,051
Cooked that bad, he'd have to be
against a hot pipe a good minute.
224
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:39,524
July, he's in again. Cracked
ribs. Fell off a ladder.
225
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:40,924
I admitted him.
226
00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:45,056
If that man fell off a ladder, then I
got hit by a truck and stubbed my toe.
227
00:12:45,131 --> 00:12:46,793
Well, people do
fall off of ladders.
228
00:12:46,866 --> 00:12:48,767
I mean, I might
crack a couple of ribs.
229
00:12:48,835 --> 00:12:52,397
Mr. McKinnon had no bruises.
No scratches. Just the ribs.
230
00:12:52,472 --> 00:12:56,136
I asked him, "Somebody hurting
you?" He was polite enough.
231
00:12:56,209 --> 00:12:58,474
But he said I should
mind my own business.
232
00:12:58,544 --> 00:13:02,140
Four times in 18 months.
Nobody is that accident-prone.
233
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:11,015
All I know is somebody killed my
husband and you can't tell me who did it.
234
00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:14,424
All right, did your
husband have any friends...
235
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:17,692
or business associates who had
a reason to put him in the hospital?
236
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,408
You calling my father
some sort of criminal?
237
00:13:19,432 --> 00:13:20,432
Sean.
238
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,069
My husband worked hard.
239
00:13:23,503 --> 00:13:26,302
5:00 in the morning
till 10:00,11:00 at night.
240
00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:28,034
He was tired, he had accidents.
241
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:31,509
But you think your daughter's boyfriend
had a grudge against your husband, right?
242
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:33,603
I didn't say that. You did.
243
00:13:36,516 --> 00:13:38,576
Do you have any more questions?
244
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:41,746
We have to make arrangements
for my husband's funeral.
245
00:13:47,293 --> 00:13:49,694
You know, all we got
is a bunch of hunches...
246
00:13:49,762 --> 00:13:51,731
and an accident-prone dead guy.
247
00:13:51,798 --> 00:13:54,233
Yeah, I think we
got the wrong hunch.
248
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:57,930
Maureen's boyfriend had
one lousy fight with her father.
249
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:00,098
That's a long way
from killing him.
250
00:14:00,173 --> 00:14:03,166
Yeah, two days ago, the mother
steers us toward the boyfriend.
251
00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:04,482
Two minutes ago, she backs off.
252
00:14:04,510 --> 00:14:06,376
Sure, she goes along
with anything we say.
253
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:08,438
She doesn't want
us to get anywhere.
254
00:14:08,514 --> 00:14:11,541
You know what else
bothers me? Both kids.
255
00:14:11,851 --> 00:14:14,446
Their father gets his skull
crushed. Where are they?
256
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,421
She's off with
Mr. Juvenile Record.
257
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:18,651
He's at his
girlfriend's, studying.
258
00:14:18,725 --> 00:14:22,560
Who in hell studies for a test
the day after your father is killed?
259
00:14:22,628 --> 00:14:24,927
You got trouble
with this kid? What?
260
00:14:24,997 --> 00:14:26,329
I mean, you're both Irish.
261
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:27,731
You made it as
far as detective...
262
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,632
he's making it all the
way to the Ivy League.
263
00:14:29,702 --> 00:14:31,534
Hey, the trouble I
have with this kid is...
264
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:33,244
he was the only one
home when it happened.
265
00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:34,706
Let's work this through.
266
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:37,938
They say somebody broke in.
We say maybe nobody broke in.
267
00:14:39,011 --> 00:14:40,809
You see the problem?
268
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:47,915
Nat Horowitz fights with
his brother-in-law all the time.
269
00:14:47,987 --> 00:14:49,512
I don't know, I just assumed.
270
00:14:49,589 --> 00:14:52,149
But it was definitely
two voices. Men's voices.
271
00:14:52,225 --> 00:14:55,161
Well, I really wasn't paying
attention. I think it was two.
272
00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:56,890
One was shouting really loud.
273
00:14:56,963 --> 00:14:59,398
Mrs. Kroll, are you sure you
didn't hear any words clearly?
274
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:03,027
No, just shouting. Later, they
were throwing things at each other.
275
00:15:03,102 --> 00:15:06,300
Elaine Horowitz told me
last year Nat threw a lamp.
276
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:08,341
This time, it
sounded like glass.
277
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:11,742
Wait a minute. Now, you didn't
say anything about glass breaking.
278
00:15:11,811 --> 00:15:14,440
Well, it was about
half an hour later.
279
00:15:14,514 --> 00:15:17,109
I was on the fire stairs
in the back hallway.
280
00:15:17,183 --> 00:15:19,550
My husband won't let me
smoke in the apartment.
281
00:15:19,619 --> 00:15:22,487
Mrs. Kroll, I'm gonna run
this by you one more time.
282
00:15:22,555 --> 00:15:26,788
You heard shouting. Then a half-hour
later, you heard glass breaking?
283
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:29,361
Yes. I thought it was Horowitz.
284
00:15:30,530 --> 00:15:32,396
Is the woman reliable?
285
00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:35,993
Unless she was smoking dope on
those back steps instead of cigarettes.
286
00:15:36,068 --> 00:15:38,663
Yeah, I don't think she
lost track of half an hour.
287
00:15:38,738 --> 00:15:41,867
And I don't think anybody
beat him up and then broke in.
288
00:15:41,941 --> 00:15:44,410
Well, fellas, I'll
buy no burglars.
289
00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:46,110
In fact...
290
00:15:46,846 --> 00:15:49,247
I'll buy there was
no one there at all.
291
00:15:51,784 --> 00:15:54,720
Somebody stop me
before the train crashes.
292
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:58,947
We're about to say Frank
McKinnon was killed by his own son.
293
00:15:59,025 --> 00:16:00,391
I won't stop you.
294
00:16:00,460 --> 00:16:03,259
I just want to know who
smashed the window.
295
00:16:04,197 --> 00:16:05,495
No question.
296
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:08,491
This glass was knocked
out. From the inside.
297
00:16:08,568 --> 00:16:12,335
You just discovered this? I'm
not Columbus. I wasn't looking.
298
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,772
Ask me sooner, I find it sooner.
299
00:16:14,874 --> 00:16:16,638
Glass is tensile.
300
00:16:17,043 --> 00:16:18,909
You want to know which
side it was hit from...
301
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,413
match a piece on the ground
with one left in the frame...
302
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,143
check for radial fractures.
303
00:16:23,216 --> 00:16:25,879
So, the kid broke the window,
realized he screwed up...
304
00:16:25,952 --> 00:16:27,853
and then moved
the glass back inside.
305
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,253
And, got some of
his father's blood on it.
306
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:34,351
Kills his old man, cleans it up
and waits for Mom to come home.
307
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,051
That is cold.
308
00:16:36,963 --> 00:16:39,797
Yeah, but Dad was in
the boiler room. Now...
309
00:16:39,866 --> 00:16:43,701
why would he go outside to
stop a break-in that didn't happen?
310
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:46,905
What's the basement
floor made of? Cement.
311
00:16:47,139 --> 00:16:49,938
Get us a guy with
Luminol. We're gonna spray.
312
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:53,941
Well...
313
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,107
I guess that's not
cranberry juice.
314
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:57,650
Straight line.
315
00:16:57,717 --> 00:17:00,016
He was dragged the whole way.
316
00:17:03,589 --> 00:17:05,285
Dead end, fellas.
317
00:17:06,692 --> 00:17:08,388
Spray the pipe.
318
00:17:11,097 --> 00:17:12,326
Right.
319
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:16,095
Well...
320
00:17:17,203 --> 00:17:19,604
he hits him here, drags him out.
321
00:17:20,973 --> 00:17:22,908
You think the mother knows?
322
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:24,976
I don't know.
323
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:28,446
But did you notice the daughter
the last time we were in the building?
324
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:31,006
Unhappy. And scared.
325
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:38,250
You keep coming after me. I was
with my boyfriend. I don't know anything.
326
00:17:38,324 --> 00:17:41,260
Okay, look, all we want to know
is what happened to your father.
327
00:17:41,327 --> 00:17:44,388
We don't think you or your
boyfriend had anything to do with it.
328
00:17:44,463 --> 00:17:46,955
I'm gonna ask you
a question, okay?
329
00:17:47,333 --> 00:17:49,893
Did your brother get
along with your father?
330
00:17:50,369 --> 00:17:52,600
Did they ever fight sometimes?
331
00:17:53,205 --> 00:17:55,003
I don't know what you mean.
332
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:59,277
Well, he was there that night.
But he says he didn't hear anything.
333
00:17:59,345 --> 00:18:01,576
He said he was in the kitchen.
334
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:05,010
Maybe he wasn't
telling the truth.
335
00:18:06,752 --> 00:18:08,550
What do you think happened?
336
00:18:10,656 --> 00:18:13,251
I don't... You
know what I think?
337
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,325
I think you don't
believe him either.
338
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:18,998
Look, it doesn't matter.
339
00:18:19,065 --> 00:18:21,694
My father is dead,
so just leave us alone.
340
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:32,944
This has been very hard
for my sister and the kids.
341
00:18:33,512 --> 00:18:35,606
Oh, please, sit down.
342
00:18:39,018 --> 00:18:40,953
I'm sure that Catherine...
343
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:43,012
you know, told you
everything she knows.
344
00:18:43,089 --> 00:18:46,150
All due respect to you, we
don't think that's the case.
345
00:18:47,727 --> 00:18:49,787
What are you suggesting?
346
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:54,457
I'm suggesting that Mr. McKinnon
was in the hospital four times last year.
347
00:18:55,801 --> 00:18:58,532
Was your sister's
husband a violent man?
348
00:18:58,604 --> 00:18:59,663
No.
349
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,233
How about Sean?
350
00:19:02,942 --> 00:19:04,570
He ever hit his father?
351
00:19:06,345 --> 00:19:09,281
Well, I mean, you
know, once in a while...
352
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:13,052
You know how families
are. Tempers flare, you know.
353
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,283
Where I come from, it was
the father who used the strap.
354
00:19:29,769 --> 00:19:33,069
There was this reception,
the Princeton Club.
355
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:36,971
It was for applicants
and their parents.
356
00:19:38,077 --> 00:19:40,569
I went in Frank's place.
357
00:19:41,781 --> 00:19:44,216
Catherine said I'd make
a good impression...
358
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:46,081
because I'm an accountant.
359
00:19:47,987 --> 00:19:49,956
When we got home that night...
360
00:19:50,423 --> 00:19:52,892
Frank was upset.
361
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,857
He said, "I'm a
Super and proud of it."
362
00:19:57,997 --> 00:20:01,456
And Sean said, "Oh, a Super.
That would really help me get in."
363
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:03,931
Frank was shouting.
364
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:07,864
Sean told him to shut up.
365
00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:13,413
And then, Frank went
right over to the boy...
366
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,016
right in his face and
he said, "Go ahead...
367
00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:20,514
"do it in front of your
uncle. Take a pop at me.
368
00:20:21,654 --> 00:20:24,351
"Let him see what this
family is really about."
369
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:28,554
Sean was gonna hit him.
370
00:20:31,363 --> 00:20:33,332
I had to separate them.
371
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:36,565
I thought you said your
sister told us the truth.
372
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,074
Yeah, well, maybe I'm
not as sure as I used to be.
373
00:20:49,381 --> 00:20:52,215
Broken collarbone, cracked ribs.
374
00:20:52,618 --> 00:20:55,281
You were beating him up
pretty regular, weren't you?
375
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:57,846
Let's give the kid
a chance, Lennie.
376
00:20:58,691 --> 00:21:00,887
Maybe you can
explain this, Sean.
377
00:21:02,027 --> 00:21:03,689
You think I hit my own father?
378
00:21:03,763 --> 00:21:06,096
We heard you almost hit
him in front of your uncle.
379
00:21:06,165 --> 00:21:09,033
What he do this time, huh?
Something must have made you mad.
380
00:21:09,101 --> 00:21:12,469
I don't know what you're talking
about. Somebody broke in.
381
00:21:12,538 --> 00:21:14,166
No, actually, Sean, nobody did.
382
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,868
You see, what happened was this.
383
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:19,878
Somebody dragged his body
out from the boiler room outside.
384
00:21:20,246 --> 00:21:22,238
You didn't like your
old man, did you?
385
00:21:22,314 --> 00:21:24,693
Why? 'Cause he was a Super?
'Cause he didn't go to Princeton?
386
00:21:24,717 --> 00:21:25,844
I loved my father.
387
00:21:25,918 --> 00:21:28,196
Well, maybe you can tell
us about the broken window
388
00:21:28,220 --> 00:21:29,552
'cause it turns out...
389
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:31,955
somebody knocked
it out from the inside.
390
00:21:32,024 --> 00:21:35,119
That doesn't sound like a burglary
to me. You know what I mean?
391
00:21:35,194 --> 00:21:36,594
Pretty smart move, Sean.
392
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:39,461
But you didn't know we
could prove that, did you?
393
00:21:40,199 --> 00:21:41,633
Gentlemen...
394
00:21:42,468 --> 00:21:44,699
Roger Easton, Sean's lawyer.
395
00:21:44,770 --> 00:21:45,999
What's he doing here?
396
00:21:46,071 --> 00:21:48,563
Well, for openers, we
think he killed his father.
397
00:21:48,641 --> 00:21:49,836
Under pressure here?
398
00:21:49,909 --> 00:21:53,277
You can't find the street scum
who did it, so you go after this boy?
399
00:21:53,345 --> 00:21:54,904
I want him out of here, now.
400
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:58,348
Take a break, Counselor. Maybe,
we'll give you a ride to central booking.
401
00:21:58,417 --> 00:21:59,578
Mike.
402
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:07,350
Parents beating their kids is pretty
common. But the other way around?
403
00:22:07,426 --> 00:22:10,328
How often does that happen? So
this kid's the exception to the rule.
404
00:22:10,396 --> 00:22:14,197
He's ashamed of his father? As a motive,
it sounds like sidewalk psychology to me.
405
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:16,778
Look, I don't care what it sounds
like. You don't buy the motive?
406
00:22:16,802 --> 00:22:19,237
Go with the physical evidence.
Who broke that window?
407
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:21,797
Who the hell dragged
McKinnon's body down that hall?
408
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:24,810
The physical evidence makes
me ready to believe the motive.
409
00:22:24,877 --> 00:22:27,745
Even if I am ready to believe
it, I don't know if a jury is.
410
00:22:27,813 --> 00:22:29,805
We have enough to indict.
411
00:22:33,786 --> 00:22:35,516
Okay. Go ahead.
412
00:22:40,993 --> 00:22:42,325
Sean McKinnon...
413
00:22:42,394 --> 00:22:45,523
you're under arrest for the murder
of Frank McKinnon. Excuse me.
414
00:22:45,598 --> 00:22:47,260
You have the right
to remain silent.
415
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:49,097
Anything you do,
say, can and will be...
416
00:22:49,168 --> 00:22:51,330
used against you
in a court of law.
417
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:56,737
"Docket number 680641...
418
00:22:57,343 --> 00:23:00,541
"People of the State of
New York v. Sean McKinnon.
419
00:23:00,613 --> 00:23:03,082
"Charge is murder
in the second degree."
420
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,784
How does the defendant plead?
421
00:23:06,919 --> 00:23:08,547
Not guilty, sir.
422
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:10,450
All right.
423
00:23:10,522 --> 00:23:13,390
Young man, nobody
calls me sir anymore.
424
00:23:13,459 --> 00:23:14,483
Ms. Kincaid?
425
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,495
The People request
reasonable bail.
426
00:23:16,562 --> 00:23:19,430
While there's no risk of
flight... There's also no record.
427
00:23:19,498 --> 00:23:22,991
Bail is to secure appearance at
trial, Ms. Kincaid, not to punish.
428
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:24,263
Mr. Easton?
429
00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:27,238
Your Honor, the McKinnon
family have limited means.
430
00:23:27,306 --> 00:23:29,673
High bail would be
a terrible hardship.
431
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:32,576
Death was a terrible
hardship for the victim.
432
00:23:32,645 --> 00:23:35,342
Meanwhile, your client
looks quite respectable.
433
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:39,044
You'll get a bond.
$50,000, short date. Next?
434
00:23:39,585 --> 00:23:42,521
You're making a mistake.
The boy's a victim.
435
00:23:43,489 --> 00:23:47,551
Sir, he's walking around
and his father is six feet under.
436
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,824
Mrs. McKinnon is prepared to
admit that her son killed her husband.
437
00:23:57,469 --> 00:23:59,438
I tried to stop him.
438
00:24:01,807 --> 00:24:03,708
It's a couple of years now.
439
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:08,046
Sean was only defending himself.
440
00:24:08,847 --> 00:24:11,976
Your husband was abusing
your son? He hit him.
441
00:24:13,485 --> 00:24:15,454
He hit me, sometimes...
442
00:24:16,255 --> 00:24:17,689
my daughter.
443
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:22,156
My husband was a very angry man.
444
00:24:25,831 --> 00:24:27,299
Sean says...
445
00:24:28,434 --> 00:24:29,868
He told me...
446
00:24:30,002 --> 00:24:31,766
he was studying...
447
00:24:33,772 --> 00:24:36,708
and his father was in
one of those moods.
448
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:40,238
He came after him.
449
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:43,373
Mrs. McKinnon, when
did your son tell you this?
450
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:47,017
Ben, this is not the time to
look for an accessory charge.
451
00:24:47,086 --> 00:24:49,783
I couldn't believe
Sean had done it.
452
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,386
When he told me, I knew...
453
00:24:54,727 --> 00:24:56,491
that I was at fault.
454
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:01,025
I should have stopped Frank.
455
00:25:01,967 --> 00:25:04,129
He picked on Sean so much.
456
00:25:04,436 --> 00:25:06,098
Her husband was abusive.
457
00:25:06,305 --> 00:25:08,900
Mr. McKinnon was in
the hospital several times.
458
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:11,102
For God's sake, so was Sean.
459
00:25:15,047 --> 00:25:16,675
He broke his arm.
460
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:18,647
His father broke his arm.
461
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,113
We told the doctor it was a
bike accident. He fell off his bike.
462
00:25:25,257 --> 00:25:27,453
Sean was supposed
to go to Europe...
463
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:29,859
he sang with a group at school.
464
00:25:30,162 --> 00:25:31,755
His father beat him...
465
00:25:32,331 --> 00:25:34,027
he was black and blue...
466
00:25:34,299 --> 00:25:35,699
he couldn't go.
467
00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:37,532
He gave him a black eye.
468
00:25:38,804 --> 00:25:40,705
We lied and said...
469
00:25:41,473 --> 00:25:43,704
it was an accident. Basketball.
470
00:25:48,514 --> 00:25:50,312
Pity the poor child.
471
00:25:51,450 --> 00:25:53,885
It's a good defense,
and it works.
472
00:25:54,453 --> 00:25:57,480
There is the possibility
that she's telling the truth.
473
00:25:57,556 --> 00:25:58,990
You didn't even want an arrest.
474
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:01,027
I hadn't met Catherine McKinnon.
475
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:02,959
It was weird. When you
went out with Easton...
476
00:26:03,095 --> 00:26:05,291
she kept saying how
sad it was for her son.
477
00:26:05,364 --> 00:26:06,889
But she never
mentioned her husband.
478
00:26:06,965 --> 00:26:08,866
Not even to complain about him.
479
00:26:08,934 --> 00:26:11,597
- I don't believe her.
- She's not on trial.
480
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:13,639
And if she's lying,
they trumped us.
481
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:17,233
But if she's not lying, I don't
want to prosecute an abused child.
482
00:26:17,309 --> 00:26:19,175
Now, why didn't she go for help?
483
00:26:19,244 --> 00:26:22,214
An abusive father, he can
hold an entire family hostage...
484
00:26:22,281 --> 00:26:25,115
but an abusive son? No,
she'd have called somebody.
485
00:26:25,184 --> 00:26:27,210
Sean McKinnon
almost hit his father...
486
00:26:27,286 --> 00:26:30,256
in front of his uncle. Now,
that wasn't self-defense.
487
00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:32,323
What do you think?
488
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:35,193
You want a deal?
489
00:26:35,260 --> 00:26:38,424
You tell Easton, the
kid has to see Olivet.
490
00:26:38,764 --> 00:26:40,494
Are you so
convinced he's guilty?
491
00:26:40,566 --> 00:26:42,558
Check the mother's story.
492
00:26:42,634 --> 00:26:45,229
And see if that kid
was also in the hospital.
493
00:26:51,076 --> 00:26:53,170
I never thought
I'd hit him back.
494
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:55,544
How do you feel now?
495
00:26:58,750 --> 00:27:00,548
I don't know. I mean...
496
00:27:00,986 --> 00:27:03,080
what do you want me to say?
497
00:27:03,522 --> 00:27:04,854
I feel bad?
498
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:08,984
Okay, I mean, I feel bad.
499
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:11,597
He was my father.
500
00:27:12,364 --> 00:27:13,992
I'm sorry.
501
00:27:15,968 --> 00:27:17,869
I didn't want this to happen.
502
00:27:18,403 --> 00:27:19,701
I know.
503
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:28,974
When he beat me...
504
00:27:30,649 --> 00:27:32,345
he was shouting...
505
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,382
about...
506
00:27:37,856 --> 00:27:40,223
how I didn't respect
him. And about...
507
00:27:43,428 --> 00:27:47,024
About how I never brought friends
home 'cause he was only a Super.
508
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,798
He didn't understand.
509
00:27:51,436 --> 00:27:54,304
The way he let those
tenants treat him. I mean...
510
00:27:54,606 --> 00:27:58,566
he lived in the basement, as
if that was all you should have.
511
00:28:00,379 --> 00:28:02,746
Do you think he was
ashamed of himself?
512
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,108
He thought I was ashamed, but...
513
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:07,744
he was projecting.
I didn't care. I just...
514
00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:11,517
I just wanted him
to be proud of me.
515
00:28:12,457 --> 00:28:13,823
Well, was he?
516
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:17,496
No, he wasn't.
517
00:28:17,563 --> 00:28:19,725
It didn't matter how
hard I worked. I mean, I...
518
00:28:19,798 --> 00:28:23,701
I got into Princeton and everybody
else was happy, except him.
519
00:28:24,970 --> 00:28:27,269
He was depressed. He was angry.
520
00:28:27,973 --> 00:28:29,441
Why was that?
521
00:28:31,643 --> 00:28:32,736
He said...
522
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:35,479
I thought I was better than him.
523
00:28:38,817 --> 00:28:40,513
And then a week after...
524
00:28:41,086 --> 00:28:44,318
he showed up at school
in work clothes. I mean...
525
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:46,991
you don't do that at Deardon.
526
00:28:49,561 --> 00:28:51,154
Did that matter to you?
527
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:55,967
No.
528
00:28:57,336 --> 00:28:58,929
Oh, no. I just...
529
00:29:00,005 --> 00:29:01,530
I wanted to be
different, you know.
530
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:03,665
I just wanted a different life.
531
00:29:05,811 --> 00:29:07,074
I wanted more.
532
00:29:08,247 --> 00:29:11,012
It's a great act, but
he's a sociopath.
533
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:13,641
An ounce of doubt,
I wouldn't testify.
534
00:29:13,719 --> 00:29:17,247
Liz, the son beats the father
up and the mother does nothing?
535
00:29:17,322 --> 00:29:19,018
The woman is probably paralyzed.
536
00:29:19,091 --> 00:29:22,493
If she admits how bad it is, she
has to admit she raised a monster.
537
00:29:22,561 --> 00:29:24,655
Then maybe we should
be prosecuting her.
538
00:29:24,730 --> 00:29:27,165
She's in denial. She wants
to keep her family together.
539
00:29:27,232 --> 00:29:28,723
Like with alcoholics.
540
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,929
Daddy passes out over
dinner, we pretend he's just tired.
541
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:36,431
The cops were right. The McKinnons
had a secret. They just got the wrong one.
542
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:38,272
I wish I could be
as sure as you are.
543
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:40,471
Why don't you
want it to be true?
544
00:29:42,414 --> 00:29:44,007
Am I the patient here?
545
00:29:44,116 --> 00:29:45,607
Ben, you're not alone.
546
00:29:45,684 --> 00:29:48,916
None of us want to believe
that kids beat up their parents.
547
00:29:50,756 --> 00:29:53,419
Do you think that the
father ever hit the kid?
548
00:29:53,592 --> 00:29:56,255
It would make it easier
to deal with, wouldn't it?
549
00:29:56,328 --> 00:29:58,490
I think this kid doesn't
want to be who he is...
550
00:29:58,563 --> 00:30:01,055
and every time he looks
at his father, he's reminded.
551
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:05,036
Maybe Mom sent him a message,
the father's no good. So, he takes over.
552
00:30:05,103 --> 00:30:07,868
Do you know what he
told me? He pays the bills.
553
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,000
How many 17-year-olds do you know
who take care of their family finances?
554
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:13,373
I don't know.
555
00:30:13,612 --> 00:30:14,841
Is it that important?
556
00:30:14,913 --> 00:30:16,711
It's a textbook sign.
557
00:30:17,916 --> 00:30:20,215
Journal of Family Dysfunction.
558
00:30:21,787 --> 00:30:26,452
"In most cases, the adolescent is ashamed
of a parent's lack of social status.
559
00:30:26,558 --> 00:30:29,118
"The child commonly takes
over parental functions...
560
00:30:29,194 --> 00:30:31,993
"determining how money
is spent and paying bills.
561
00:30:32,064 --> 00:30:34,795
"The parents, fearing
the child, acquiesce."
562
00:30:35,734 --> 00:30:38,431
A million cases a
year of parent abuse.
563
00:30:38,637 --> 00:30:41,106
I can't tell you why it
happened in this family.
564
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:45,372
But I do know that Sean McKinnon
has enough anger to blow this office apart.
565
00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:54,884
The McKinnons are playing
the press. Guess what?
566
00:30:54,953 --> 00:30:56,512
The father's the villain.
567
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,181
That's what they'll do in court.
568
00:30:58,256 --> 00:31:00,691
Sean McKinnon will
make his own best witness.
569
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:03,160
The hospital only has
X-rays of Sean's broken arm.
570
00:31:03,228 --> 00:31:05,823
They don't prove how it
happened. And the black eye?
571
00:31:05,897 --> 00:31:07,559
Two stitches, they
sent him home.
572
00:31:07,632 --> 00:31:09,931
She told us that her
husband hit the kid, right?
573
00:31:10,001 --> 00:31:12,903
She told the hospital that
it was a basketball game.
574
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:16,333
So, let's find out who
he plays ball with, okay?
575
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:18,605
If we'd known Sean's
dad was beating him...
576
00:31:18,677 --> 00:31:20,236
I mean, maybe we
could have helped him.
577
00:31:20,312 --> 00:31:21,678
We all feel really bad about it.
578
00:31:21,747 --> 00:31:23,306
Oh, he never told you?
579
00:31:24,015 --> 00:31:26,382
No. Sean never
talked about his father.
580
00:31:26,651 --> 00:31:28,517
I guess now we know why.
581
00:31:28,587 --> 00:31:30,419
Why are you asking
me about this?
582
00:31:30,489 --> 00:31:32,822
I mean, my coach said
something about me hitting him?
583
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:35,690
Last June, when
he got a black eye?
584
00:31:38,263 --> 00:31:40,391
That was an accident.
585
00:31:40,732 --> 00:31:42,530
We were playing one-on-one.
586
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:46,195
His mother claims that his
dad gave him the black eye.
587
00:31:47,205 --> 00:31:48,205
No.
588
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:51,537
No, it was me. I mean,
I was sorry, but I did it.
589
00:31:53,378 --> 00:31:56,678
It swelled up. He went to the
emergency room at St. Mary's.
590
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:58,683
Did Sean say it didn't happen?
591
00:31:59,751 --> 00:32:00,912
Catherine McKinnon lied.
592
00:32:00,986 --> 00:32:05,219
Yeah, she'll testify that she was
confused. It was another black eye.
593
00:32:05,524 --> 00:32:07,356
This whole story
plays both ways.
594
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:09,759
The father had accidents...
595
00:32:09,828 --> 00:32:12,627
the son was abused.
Or the other way around.
596
00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:15,929
But the father's not here to
defend himself. So a jury...
597
00:32:16,001 --> 00:32:19,165
could give this kid a
college going-away party.
598
00:32:19,237 --> 00:32:21,729
He kills his father,
mother defends him.
599
00:32:21,807 --> 00:32:24,003
Doesn't the sister
have a stake in this?
600
00:32:24,075 --> 00:32:26,909
Well, we scheduled her for a
statement, she didn't come in.
601
00:32:26,978 --> 00:32:29,675
She's staying at her
uncle's. Should I try again?
602
00:32:29,748 --> 00:32:31,125
Why? She never
did anything before.
603
00:32:31,149 --> 00:32:33,118
Why should she start now?
604
00:32:33,485 --> 00:32:36,546
Before her father was just
bruised. Now he's buried.
605
00:32:37,522 --> 00:32:39,787
She wouldn't be comfortable
at home right now.
606
00:32:39,858 --> 00:32:40,858
I see.
607
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:42,894
She's having nightmares.
608
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,022
I don't want to talk to you.
609
00:32:46,097 --> 00:32:50,467
Maureen, your mom says Sean
had to protect you from your father.
610
00:32:50,535 --> 00:32:52,128
Now is that true?
611
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,838
Your mom says your
father hit all of you.
612
00:32:57,542 --> 00:32:59,477
Mom wouldn't say that about Dad.
613
00:32:59,544 --> 00:33:01,877
Honey, why would
she make that up?
614
00:33:03,181 --> 00:33:06,709
What did you let her in here
for? Did your father ever hit you?
615
00:33:09,788 --> 00:33:12,622
I wish I could tell
you, but I wasn't there.
616
00:33:13,959 --> 00:33:15,791
Yeah, why weren't you there?
617
00:33:16,495 --> 00:33:18,259
Why wasn't somebody there?
618
00:33:18,663 --> 00:33:21,030
I'm sorry, Maureen.
I should have been.
619
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:23,199
Maureen...
620
00:33:23,568 --> 00:33:26,231
your mother and your brother
say your father beat you.
621
00:33:26,304 --> 00:33:28,773
No! And that's why
you got into trouble.
622
00:33:29,074 --> 00:33:30,872
It was your father's fault.
623
00:33:31,243 --> 00:33:33,542
No. It's not true.
624
00:33:33,612 --> 00:33:37,276
My dad never hit me. He
never hit anybody. It's not true.
625
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:38,442
Okay, okay.
626
00:33:46,157 --> 00:33:48,126
My daughter's been in trouble.
627
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:51,254
She has a lot of problems.
Your brother believes her.
628
00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:54,163
He wasn't there when
she was arrested.
629
00:33:54,466 --> 00:33:56,492
He wasn't at the police station.
630
00:33:57,335 --> 00:33:59,429
He didn't have to
face the neighbors.
631
00:33:59,504 --> 00:34:03,407
Mrs. McKinnon, maybe what the
neighbors think isn't the issue here.
632
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:07,411
Please, don't do this to her. I
mean, I know why she does this.
633
00:34:08,046 --> 00:34:11,175
It's out of her control. She
invented the whole story?
634
00:34:12,751 --> 00:34:14,777
She wasn't doing
so great at school.
635
00:34:14,853 --> 00:34:16,344
So I help her out.
636
00:34:16,922 --> 00:34:20,256
I help her out all the time,
and she resents me for it.
637
00:34:20,425 --> 00:34:21,916
Even my dad said to her...
638
00:34:21,993 --> 00:34:25,225
getting mad at me wouldn't make up
for the things that she's done wrong.
639
00:34:25,297 --> 00:34:26,925
You let her send
her brother to jail...
640
00:34:26,998 --> 00:34:28,864
she'll live with it for
the rest of her life.
641
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:32,234
Think what you're doing to
her. What are you doing to her?
642
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:35,105
Catherine?
643
00:34:37,108 --> 00:34:39,134
All Sean's hard work.
644
00:34:39,711 --> 00:34:41,304
You're destroying him.
645
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:44,516
You don't think he
played a part in that?
646
00:34:57,162 --> 00:34:58,790
You're going to trial?
647
00:34:59,764 --> 00:35:03,223
Who does a jury believe?
A girl with a felony record...
648
00:35:03,301 --> 00:35:05,998
or a young man
brutalized by his father?
649
00:35:14,012 --> 00:35:17,608
When he was admitted, Mr. McKinnon
didn't say anything right away.
650
00:35:18,049 --> 00:35:21,315
I was ready to call the
police. And did you call them?
651
00:35:21,419 --> 00:35:24,389
His wife told me not
to. That I was wrong.
652
00:35:25,123 --> 00:35:26,785
That it was an accident.
653
00:35:26,858 --> 00:35:28,520
And how did you respond to that?
654
00:35:28,593 --> 00:35:32,030
I said, "Believe what you
want. Somebody hit this man."
655
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:33,625
Thank you.
656
00:35:34,699 --> 00:35:36,190
Your witness.
657
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:40,496
Tell us, Dr. Henderson...
658
00:35:41,006 --> 00:35:43,532
are you an expert
in forensic medicine?
659
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:47,511
The man wasn't having accidents.
Not in February, not in April.
660
00:35:47,579 --> 00:35:50,378
Please, Doctor. Just
answer the question.
661
00:35:51,683 --> 00:35:53,242
I'm not an expert.
662
00:35:53,485 --> 00:35:57,115
Oh. So, Mr. McKinnon could
have had these accidents...
663
00:35:57,188 --> 00:35:59,885
the kind that any building
superintendent might have.
664
00:35:59,958 --> 00:36:01,392
Isn't that possible?
665
00:36:02,761 --> 00:36:04,525
Yes, it's possible.
666
00:36:05,397 --> 00:36:07,923
Thank you. No further questions.
667
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:12,631
Catherine left a message on my
machine and Maureen returned the call.
668
00:36:12,704 --> 00:36:14,415
Her mother's putting a
lot of pressure on her.
669
00:36:14,439 --> 00:36:16,533
Did she go home?
I don't think so.
670
00:36:17,142 --> 00:36:19,737
I argued with her and she
ran out of the apartment.
671
00:36:19,811 --> 00:36:21,609
All this time, I knew
something was wrong.
672
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,444
She's due to testify on Monday.
673
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:25,780
I tried. I told her
I'd always be there.
674
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:28,115
That she could live
in my apartment.
675
00:36:28,186 --> 00:36:31,418
Well, she's been in trouble
before. Where'd she go then?
676
00:36:32,590 --> 00:36:35,025
I'm not gonna do it. Did
your mother call you?
677
00:36:35,093 --> 00:36:36,755
Her brother, too. Mitch.
678
00:36:36,828 --> 00:36:38,490
Here's the headline, Counselor.
679
00:36:38,563 --> 00:36:40,054
If she goes against
her brother...
680
00:36:40,131 --> 00:36:42,100
her mother says
she can't come home.
681
00:36:42,167 --> 00:36:43,396
I won't have anybody.
682
00:36:43,468 --> 00:36:45,664
What, are you
kicking me to the curb?
683
00:36:45,837 --> 00:36:47,203
I can't live with you.
684
00:36:47,272 --> 00:36:48,968
You gonna live
with your brother?
685
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,102
He offed your old man. If you
don't do this, he gets away clean.
686
00:36:53,378 --> 00:36:57,042
Hey, Maureen, you know what
your brother says about your father.
687
00:36:57,282 --> 00:37:00,150
And that's what people
are always going to believe.
688
00:37:06,891 --> 00:37:08,985
He hit him all the time.
689
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:11,958
Whenever my dad talked
back, Sean would hit him.
690
00:37:12,163 --> 00:37:15,395
Did you tell anyone?
My dad said it would stop.
691
00:37:16,301 --> 00:37:17,599
My mom...
692
00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:22,305
she said it was my dad's
fault. He picked on Sean.
693
00:37:23,374 --> 00:37:24,865
Was that true?
694
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:28,839
Dad would do anything
Sean wanted. Anything!
695
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:33,780
Maureen, we've heard testimony
that last February your father...
696
00:37:33,852 --> 00:37:35,684
broke his collarbone.
697
00:37:36,755 --> 00:37:38,951
Could you tell us
how that happened?
698
00:37:39,958 --> 00:37:41,187
Sean...
699
00:37:41,259 --> 00:37:44,991
took $200 from my
mom to buy clothes.
700
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:48,832
My dad said it was too much...
701
00:37:50,168 --> 00:37:51,568
so Sean hit him.
702
00:37:51,970 --> 00:37:53,404
With a tire iron.
703
00:37:54,439 --> 00:37:58,740
And last April, we heard that your
father was taken to the hospital...
704
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:01,712
with a burn on his back.
How did that happen?
705
00:38:02,580 --> 00:38:04,742
There was a vacant apartment...
706
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:06,582
upstairs.
707
00:38:07,252 --> 00:38:10,154
And Sean wanted my dad
to ask the landlord for it...
708
00:38:11,489 --> 00:38:14,049
so we wouldn't live
in the basement.
709
00:38:14,993 --> 00:38:16,655
My dad said no.
710
00:38:18,730 --> 00:38:20,494
Sean called him a coward.
711
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:25,036
He followed him
to the boiler room...
712
00:38:27,172 --> 00:38:29,334
and he pushed
him against a pipe.
713
00:38:32,544 --> 00:38:34,445
And I tried to stop him.
714
00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:37,776
My dad was just screaming...
715
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:41,351
and Sean just held him there.
716
00:38:42,687 --> 00:38:46,681
Maureen, even then, you
didn't ask anyone for help. Why?
717
00:38:49,394 --> 00:38:50,885
I was afraid.
718
00:38:51,396 --> 00:38:52,694
Afraid of what?
719
00:38:53,464 --> 00:38:54,830
I don't know.
720
00:38:57,402 --> 00:39:01,396
That Sean would be taken away.
My mom and dad would break up.
721
00:39:06,211 --> 00:39:08,237
I didn't know what would happen.
722
00:39:10,148 --> 00:39:11,912
Maureen, thank you.
723
00:39:13,785 --> 00:39:15,310
Your witness.
724
00:39:21,726 --> 00:39:24,821
Maureen, do you get
along with your brother?
725
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,297
No.
726
00:39:27,365 --> 00:39:29,300
Isn't it true you
resent your brother?
727
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:32,428
That you feel he got everything
from your parents and you got nothing?
728
00:39:32,503 --> 00:39:35,132
No. So you're not
envious of him?
729
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:37,505
That's hard to understand.
730
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:42,571
Did you run away from
home several times?
731
00:39:42,881 --> 00:39:44,816
I couldn't stand being there.
732
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:48,777
I couldn't stand... Your
brother being so successful.
733
00:39:50,989 --> 00:39:52,719
How much do you hate him?
734
00:39:53,157 --> 00:39:56,184
Enough to invent
things that aren't true?
735
00:39:56,294 --> 00:39:58,195
Enough to make up these stories?
736
00:39:58,263 --> 00:40:00,357
Objection. Enough
to lie to this court?
737
00:40:00,431 --> 00:40:02,627
Your Honor, he's quietly
badgering the witness.
738
00:40:02,700 --> 00:40:04,032
Sustained.
739
00:40:07,071 --> 00:40:09,438
If your brother goes
to jail, Maureen...
740
00:40:09,774 --> 00:40:12,710
then you get all the attention
that you want, isn't that right?
741
00:40:12,777 --> 00:40:14,746
Your Honor. Withdrawn.
742
00:40:16,614 --> 00:40:18,173
No further questions.
743
00:40:22,487 --> 00:40:25,321
I've always said my
husband was a good man.
744
00:40:26,024 --> 00:40:29,927
When your husband was violent,
did you consider professional help?
745
00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:31,690
A psychiatrist, perhaps?
746
00:40:32,997 --> 00:40:34,625
We wouldn't do that.
747
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:38,534
Sick people go to them.
My husband wasn't sick.
748
00:40:40,538 --> 00:40:43,770
Did your son ever
hit your husband?
749
00:40:44,208 --> 00:40:46,677
Sean never defended himself.
750
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:48,778
Only this...
751
00:40:50,248 --> 00:40:51,716
This time.
752
00:40:52,583 --> 00:40:54,313
Thank you, Mrs. McKinnon.
753
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:56,585
Your witness.
754
00:40:56,788 --> 00:41:00,816
Mrs. McKinnon,
a doctor testified...
755
00:41:00,892 --> 00:41:05,227
that your husband's injuries were
caused by assault and not by accident.
756
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:07,196
Is she lying?
757
00:41:07,932 --> 00:41:09,594
Yes, she is lying.
758
00:41:10,401 --> 00:41:14,361
Your daughter said that your
son repeatedly attacked his father.
759
00:41:16,741 --> 00:41:18,539
Is your own daughter lying?
760
00:41:21,846 --> 00:41:23,576
Yes, she is lying.
761
00:41:25,450 --> 00:41:29,353
Mrs. McKinnon, isn't it true that
your son took control of your family...
762
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:31,150
and you couldn't stop him?
763
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:36,459
And can you give us
one reason to believe...
764
00:41:36,527 --> 00:41:39,986
that these witnesses are lying
and you are telling the truth?
765
00:41:43,301 --> 00:41:44,667
Because...
766
00:41:47,038 --> 00:41:48,973
Because I am his mother.
767
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,872
But isn't that all
the more reason...
768
00:41:50,942 --> 00:41:53,571
for you to say anything
at all to protect him?
769
00:42:01,219 --> 00:42:02,619
Thank you.
770
00:42:03,454 --> 00:42:04,979
No further questions.
771
00:42:07,392 --> 00:42:08,985
It wasn't easy.
772
00:42:10,828 --> 00:42:12,387
I still loved my dad.
773
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,590
Even though he beat you?
774
00:42:18,603 --> 00:42:20,572
I didn't blame him for it.
775
00:42:21,672 --> 00:42:23,140
He had a hard life.
776
00:42:23,741 --> 00:42:25,471
He worked hard for us.
777
00:42:26,644 --> 00:42:28,374
Tell us about that night.
778
00:42:29,447 --> 00:42:31,916
He asked me to help
him fix the boiler...
779
00:42:32,784 --> 00:42:34,650
and I liked doing it.
780
00:42:35,186 --> 00:42:36,552
It made me...
781
00:42:37,355 --> 00:42:39,415
feel useful to him.
782
00:42:41,292 --> 00:42:43,318
And I had this pair of pliers...
783
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:45,825
and...
784
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:50,763
I dropped them and
he lost his temper...
785
00:42:51,335 --> 00:42:53,133
like usual, out of nowhere.
786
00:42:55,973 --> 00:42:57,441
And he swung at me.
787
00:42:58,409 --> 00:43:01,971
He hit me in the arm and I fell
down and then he hit me again.
788
00:43:04,582 --> 00:43:06,881
I don't know what
happened then. I...
789
00:43:08,186 --> 00:43:10,348
I guess all those
times he beat me.
790
00:43:13,658 --> 00:43:17,993
I think I grabbed the hammer,
and I must have hit him.
791
00:43:23,968 --> 00:43:25,459
I don't remember it.
792
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:30,768
All I remember is the blood.
793
00:43:34,979 --> 00:43:37,813
Thank you, Sean.
No further questions.
794
00:43:42,186 --> 00:43:43,745
Mr. McKinnon...
795
00:43:44,989 --> 00:43:47,652
how did you feel after
you killed your father?
796
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,188
I don't remember.
797
00:43:53,064 --> 00:43:55,590
How did you feel when
you dragged his body...
798
00:43:55,666 --> 00:43:58,033
36 feet to the service alley?
799
00:44:00,338 --> 00:44:04,571
How did you feel when you
cleaned his blood off the hall...
800
00:44:05,943 --> 00:44:08,742
and when you broke the window
to make it look like a burglary?
801
00:44:08,813 --> 00:44:10,042
I don't remember any of it.
802
00:44:10,114 --> 00:44:12,982
Do you remember shoving
him up against a steam pipe?
803
00:44:13,050 --> 00:44:14,109
No!
804
00:44:14,185 --> 00:44:15,983
Do you remember
hitting him with a tire iron?
805
00:44:16,053 --> 00:44:17,053
No!
806
00:44:19,557 --> 00:44:21,617
Would you please
tell the court...
807
00:44:21,692 --> 00:44:23,126
what you wrote...
808
00:44:23,261 --> 00:44:27,130
on your college financial aid
application, under the heading...
809
00:44:27,598 --> 00:44:29,226
of father's occupation?
810
00:44:30,301 --> 00:44:32,964
Didn't you write
Building Manager?
811
00:44:33,871 --> 00:44:36,306
Why didn't you write
Superintendent?
812
00:44:36,941 --> 00:44:40,139
I wanted to get the scholarship.
It sounded better than Super.
813
00:44:40,211 --> 00:44:42,680
But you said you were not
ashamed of your father...
814
00:44:42,747 --> 00:44:45,046
and that he was
jealous of you, right?
815
00:44:45,449 --> 00:44:48,817
Yes, it wasn't my fault. It was
something I had to live with.
816
00:44:48,986 --> 00:44:53,321
Did you have to live with the fact
that he paid for your prep school tuition?
817
00:44:53,391 --> 00:44:55,690
And that he worked
12 hours a day...
818
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,888
to put expensive
clothes on your back?
819
00:44:57,962 --> 00:45:00,090
Hey, I worked
hard, too. Did you?
820
00:45:00,464 --> 00:45:02,524
I helped with the building.
821
00:45:02,900 --> 00:45:06,598
I helped my sister out.
I got into Princeton...
822
00:45:07,538 --> 00:45:08,870
in spite of...
823
00:45:14,045 --> 00:45:15,377
In spite of what?
824
00:45:16,214 --> 00:45:17,477
Of what he was?
825
00:45:17,548 --> 00:45:19,141
No, I didn't say that.
826
00:45:20,084 --> 00:45:23,452
You claim that you loved
your father. I did love him.
827
00:45:23,921 --> 00:45:25,617
How do you show your love?
828
00:45:25,690 --> 00:45:28,182
By hiding your father
from your friends?
829
00:45:28,259 --> 00:45:31,024
And by telling him that
he's not worth anything?
830
00:45:33,064 --> 00:45:34,692
You may call that love.
831
00:45:35,399 --> 00:45:37,197
Most of us call that shame.
832
00:45:44,842 --> 00:45:46,276
No further questions.
833
00:45:49,914 --> 00:45:51,634
Has the jury reached a verdict?
834
00:45:51,682 --> 00:45:53,116
We have, Your Honor.
835
00:45:53,184 --> 00:45:54,482
On the sole count...
836
00:45:54,552 --> 00:45:58,455
of the indictment, murder in the
second degree, how does the jury find?
837
00:45:59,257 --> 00:46:01,055
We find the defendant guilty.
838
00:46:25,216 --> 00:46:27,151
Two more months, he'd
have gone to college.
839
00:46:27,218 --> 00:46:28,880
Everything would have been fine.
840
00:46:28,953 --> 00:46:30,148
It's scary.
841
00:46:30,421 --> 00:46:32,822
No, what's scary is that if
it hadn't been his father...
842
00:46:32,890 --> 00:46:34,882
it would have been
somebody else.
843
00:46:34,959 --> 00:46:38,828
That much anger doesn't go away
with a B. A. Not even from Princeton.65736
