In the criminal justice system,

the people are represented

by two separate, yet equally important groups:

the police, who investigate crime,

and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders.

These are their stories.

We were nearby. What do we got?

Witness who called 911 saw a man grab the victim's purse,

and he pushed her off the bridge.

Get a description?

White, 20s, maybe 30s, wearing a baseball cap.

Said the purse was bright pink.

Was he armed?

Not that she could tell.

Oh, she's just a teenager.

A light-colored shirt, I think, but I'm not sure.

All right, what about the vic?

Have you been able to ID her yet?

I talked to the principal at Barton Creek High in Texas.

She IDs our DOA as Becca Carter,

a senior at the school.

Well, did she know why Becca was in New York?

She says the school was on break this week.

Get this... Becca Carter is the daughter of Ron Carter.

The governor of Texas?

Oh, Jesus.

I just saw him on Fox News last week.

He was talking about how the rising crime rate in New York

[REPORTERS CHATTERING]

Fellas, fellas, we're on the job.

Governor Carter, I'm Detective Cosgrove.

This is Detective Shaw.

We're the lead investigators working your daughter's case.

Sorry about your loss.

This is my wife, Barbara, our son, Blake,

and this is Tyler, Becca's boyfriend.

Look, I'm sorry if my words just now seemed unduly harsh.

She was my baby girl.

We understand. We're on your side, sir.

Is there anything that you can tell us

about your daughter's visit, any specific plans?

She was here on a college visit, Tompkins University.

They got a week-long program

for kids considering enrollment.

Tyler, did you accompany her?

No, I flew in this afternoon.

I tried to talk her out of it.

I told her how dangerous this city was.

She promised me she wouldn't go anywhere alone.

If you'll excuse us.

Sir, ma'am.

We should talk to somebody from the university.

Maybe they know why Becca was in the park alone.

Becca was supposed to be sitting in

on a class from 10:00 to 12:00 p.m. today,

and according to the sign-in sheet, she was.

Obviously, Becca skipped out.

Honestly, I'm not surprised.

I didn't get the vibe she was really

interested in attending here.

According to her family, she was hellbent

on coming here despite their protests.

I don't know what to tell you.

I try to plan a tour that's both fun and exciting

for our prospects, but Becca just didn't seem into it.

Did you notice anything else unusual during her visit?

This morning in the dining hall,

I interrupted an argument between Becca and Valerie,

the student hosting her for the week.

Do you know what the fight was about?

No.

I asked, and they said it was nothing.

But Valerie did not look happy.

I was pissed.

The girl kept ducking out

of all the official tour activities.

As her host, that could have got you in trouble.

That's what I told her, not that it did any good.

The first day, she took off to meet up with someone

and stayed out all night.

She tell you where she was going?

No, but she was obviously partying.

She showed up the next morning super hungover.

And you didn't report this to anyone?

I wasn't happy about it, but I wasn't gonna narc on her.

It sounded like she came from a really conservative family.

So I guess it's not that surprising

she wanted to have a little fun.

Why'd you two get in a fight?

She was supposed to come with me to a class this morning,

but she told me she had something she had to go do

and asked me to cover for her again.

So I let her have it.

But you still signed her in.

Am I in trouble?

Did she mention who she was meeting up with?

No, but I do know that whoever she met with

that first day, she met them at Evo Café in Midtown.

She needed my help figuring out how to get there.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

We pulled the footage from the café around the time

that Valerie Adams claims Becca was set to meet

with the mystery person.

Well, if Becca is meeting somebody in secret,

maybe that means she's got something to hide.

Whatever that is, maybe that's what got her killed.

There she is.

That's Becca.

She's meeting a woman.

- Can you zoom in on her face? - Mm-hmm.

You're kidding me.

You recognize her?

That's the witness from the park who called 911.

Any luck?

Not yet... the contact info

she gave me was bogus, but the credit card receipt

from the café confirms Drea Clark is her real name.

Andrea Clark, 34.

Driver's license registered with the Texas DMV.

Home address, Austin.

And they arrived in New York on the same plane together.

So what's the connection to the victim?

I don't know, but it definitely

looks like they traveled together.

Why would she lie about knowing her?

Secret affair?

Closeted kid from a conservative family

comes to the big city to live her truth.

Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.

So then what? They get in a lover's quarrel

and she pushes Becca off a bridge?

Mm, no, the second witness corroborated that it was

a white male in a baseball cap that pushed Becca.

No, Simone Richards only saw a white male

running from the bridge holding a purse.

She didn't actually see the push.

Evo Café is across the street from the Westin.

Well, that ship has sailed.

She's dead, and it's starting to look like

you had something to do with it.

I didn't! I swear.

I was helping her.

I am a volunteer for an organization.

Project Circe.

We assist women in need in traveling out

of the state of Texas to receive abortion care.

Becca was pregnant?

She reached out to us because she wanted

to terminate the pregnancy.

She was just about to start her life, go to college.

She wasn't ready to be a mother,

but the ban in Texas took effect

30 days after Roe was overturned.

She didn't know what else to do.

Do you know who the father was?

Her... her boyfriend.

Tyler, I think.

Okay, how does this work?

You make the arrangements,

and then you come up with some cover story

- about visiting a college? - No, that was her idea.

A lot of the women we help need financial assistance,

but a number of them, like Becca,

are just looking for logistical or emotional support.

Becca's situation was particularly delicate,

obviously, because of who her father is.

Had she already had the abortion before she died?

I took her to a clinic the first day we were here.

She was only six weeks in,

so everything was done with medication.

But those pills, they cause severe cramping and bloating.

And that's why she didn't go back

to the dorm room that night.

She stayed at my hotel.

I got her soup.

I kept her hydrated, held her hand.

[SOLEMN MUSIC]

She was... she was really brave.

She went back to the university the next morning.

And that was the day before she died?

I was supposed to meet her in the park near the clinic

in the morning so that I could take her

to her follow-up appointment, but when I got there,

I saw a man attacking her, just like I told you.

Yeah, well, if that's true, you left a lot of that out.

Her abortion didn't seem relevant.

A woman is dead.

I don't think it's really up to you to decide.

I just wanted to respect her privacy.

She was so terrified of what her father would think of her

if he found out.

And you were upset because you knew the baby was yours.

No, no, it wasn't like that.

the abortion, all right? I was glad.

You catch Governor Carter on Hannity last night?

He's circling the conservative wagons

around his son.

And he's using the national press to paint

your star witness as a pro-abortion activist

with an axe to grind against his family.

Good morning.

I think we're good.

Evidence is compelling.

I have some concerns about your witness list.

You plan on calling Barbara Carter?

Text messages exchanged between Blake

and his mother show she was the one

who figured out Becca was pregnant.

She hacked into her daughter's period-tracking app

and sent Blake here to stop her.

Putting the defendant's mother on the stand

is a risky move, Nolan.

She's also the victim's mother.

And the messages establish Blake's state of mind

at the time of murder.

They make it clear he was angry enough to kill.

He refers to Becca as a slut and a murderer.

Did Barbara encourage him to use force with Becca?

No.

No, she just wanted him to talk her out of it,

but she certainly tolerated his language.

If you attack a grieving mother,

you run the risk of turning the jury against you.

Hearing the words from Barbara's own mouth

is an opportunity to drive home for the jury

just how hypocritical this family's

pro-life stance really is.

At one point in the conversation,

Blake actually says to his mother,

"I'm going to kill her."

The defense will argue it's hyperbole, but still.

Put her up if you really think it's the right move,

but tread lightly and focus on the facts.

This issue strikes at the core of some people's

entire worldview on both sides.

But the right to choose isn't on trial here.

Mrs. Carter, I am showing you what has been marked

People's 14.

Do you recognize these messages?

Yes, they are texts I exchanged with my son.

What was it you and your son

were discussing in these messages?

After my daughter left for New York,

I discovered that she was pregnant.

She wasn't answering my calls,

and I was concerned for her safety.

I asked Blake to find her,

make sure she was okay.

Specifically, you asked him to follow her to New York

and stop her from having an abortion.

Isn't that correct?

I knew she was confused, overwhelmed.

I was worried about her,

as was Blake.

Was Blake worried, or was he angry?

He was upset.

I see where you're going.

And yes, he used some very strong language,

but you have to understand,

we are a deeply pro-life family.

Can you... can you read this text here, please?

I would rather not.

Your Honor?

Please do as requested, Mrs. Carter.

"That stupid bitch.

I'm going to kill her."

It doesn't sound very pro-life.

He didn't mean it literally.

He was venting.

Blake never texted you after he arrived in New York.

Did he tell you what happened once he found Becca?

- No. - No?

So your son came here to confront your daughter,

and she ended up murdered.

And he never told you what happened?

He didn't need to.

I know Blake would never hurt his sister.

Well, I can see how it would be comforting

I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna testify.

And according to him, you can't make me.

♪

Drea Clark is invoking her Fifth Amendment rights.

In helping Becca Carter get an abortion,

she technically committed a crime.

There's no law making it illegal to assist

a person in traveling across state lines

to obtain an abortion.

Actually, that's exactly what the SBA Law in Texas did.

Yes, but with no criminal liability.

That law only provides private citizens

the right to sue the person.

The Fifth doesn't apply in civil suits.

The issue is that Becca Carter was a minor.

Drea Clark transported her across state lines

without her parent's consent.

And that, theoretically, opens her up

to felony kidnapping charges.

If she testifies, she'll be confessing under oath.

She could be facing ten years in prison.

And she's not compelled to take the risk?

Blake Carter murdered Becca right in front of her

for making the choice Ms. Clark herself

claims to be the champion of.

She won't budge.

And lacking jurisdiction, we can't immunize her.

So we can't force the issue.

Can you win without her?

We still have the text messages between Blake

and his mother and his possession of the contents

of Becca's purse.

None of that proves Blake actually pushed his sister.

Mr. Carter, were you in the park on the day in question?

Yes, my mother asked me to track Becca down

and talk some sense into her.

She wasn't taking my calls, either,

but we shared the location on the maps app

on our phone for safety.

So you followed her to the park?

When I found her, she was really upset, crying hard,

and that's when she confessed to me what she had done.

So she had already had the abortion?

I was too late.

Were you angry with your sister?

I'd be lying if I said no, but I couldn't stay mad.

It was so heartbreaking.

She felt terrible.

She... she knew that she'd made a huge mistake.

You didn't fight with your sister?

No.

You didn't push her off a bridge?

No, of course not.

But I saw who did.

So there was someone else?

Yes.

Becca started telling me about how she tried

to get out of going to the clinic.

She realized that she wanted to keep that baby,

but she said there was a woman

who forced her to go through with it.

Did she tell you who this woman was?

Some activist who had helped her.

I couldn't really make sense of it at the time.

I was trying to get her to calm down,

you know, to explain it to me.

And I thought, well, maybe a cold drink of water might help.

So you went to get her some water?

Yes, and I didn't have any cash on me.

So she gave me her purse, but when I came back,

there was this other woman there,

and they were arguing.

Now, was this the woman who coerced Becca

into getting the abortion?

I mean, Becca was yelling at her, telling her how

she was gonna go back to Texas and report her,

warn other people about her organization.

So what did you do?

Well, I tried to run over to intervene, but before...

But before I got there, that woman, she...

She pushed Becca over the railing.

And then she started screaming for help

and... and pointing at me, but like

I was the one who had done it.

And I could see how it looked. I panicked.

I... I took off.

Why didn't you tell this story to the police?

I should have, but I wanted justice for myself.

That woman murdered my sister and her unborn child.

No further questions.

You stated that you never

told the police what you claim

you witnessed because, as you put it,

you wanted justice for yourself.

Yes, but I was arrested before I got the chance.

You didn't tell anyone else?

Your parents or a friend, maybe?

No.

You saw someone murder your sister,

and you didn't tell a soul?

You think it was important that someone...

That anyone should know the truth?

After I was arrested, the lawyers got involved.

They told me to keep my mouth shut.

And I'd made such a huge mess of everything,

I figured I should just do what I was told.

Isn't it true, Mr. Carter, that you attacked your sister?

No, sir.

Stole her purse where you knew

the last two pills of her prescription were?

No.

Once you had the purse, isn't it true that

you pushed her out of anger, out of spite?

No, I only wanted to protect her.

The sister you called a slut, a murderer?

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Objection, Your Honor.

and the jury will see right through it.

I hope so.

I already told you on the phone, Ms. Maroun.

I know, I know.

I'm not here to beg or preach.

Just, uh, I can use a drink.

Tequila reposado on the rocks, please.

You saw what happened in court today?

Yeah.

My phone's been blowing up.

Newspapers in Texas are covering every move.

For what it's worth, Becca didn't regret her decision.

She felt sad, sure.

Relief? Definitely.

But not regret.

It's a shame no one will ever get to hear that truth.

What... what made you want to volunteer with Project Circe?

I wanted to help.

To whatever extent I have a religion,

this is how it's practiced, helping people.

And the organization is supposed to be anonymous.

Well, the Carters are using the secrecy

to blame you for Becca's murder.

If I testify, I could go to prison.

If you testify, it'll blow up your entire life.

But if you don't, Blake Carter's version of the story

is the only one that will ever be heard,

and Becca will become a cautionary tale

to scare other women.

And all that work, all that courageous work,

will be for nothing.

You signed up to make a difference,

help other women.

[APPREHENSIVE MUSIC]

You knew there were risks involved.

So you're saying I have to sacrifice myself?

Well, religion does love a martyr.

But no, you don't have to.

It's your choice.

That's the whole point.

When I came around the corner,

they were fighting over the purse.

And what did you do?

I pulled out my pepper spray.

I told him to leave her alone.

I didn't know he was her brother.

I thought he was a mugger.

That's when she let go of the purse.

And he put both his hands on her shoulders

and just shoved her.

So it wasn't an accident?

No.

He already had the purse.

He turned and looked me straight in the face.

He looked proud of himself.

It breaks me to think that was the last thing that she saw,

her own brother.

Will the defendant please rise?

Has the jury reached a verdict?

In the charge of murder in the second degree,

we find the defendant, Blake Carter...

Guilty.

[PROTESTORS SHOUTING]

Drea, if you wait here, we can get you an officer

to escort you to a taxi.

It's fine. I can manage.

Back to Texas?

It's my home.

You could always move here.

I could, but there are women that can't.

That's why I stay, to help them.

Thank you again for your help and your courage.

Let us know if we can be of any assistance.
