Previously on Reasonable Doubt...

You've been served.

Seems like
you want me to be a snitch.

We want you to be partner.

So you think I killed Alex?

-You're the one who's on trial for murder.
-So you think I killed Wendy?

Do you know where your son was
on the night of the murder?

He told me he was at home.

Jax, you have a sister.

-Did you get the money?
-No.

I think I'm falling in love with you.

There's no such thing
as a safe space.

Out!

Every time I close my eyes, I see Wendy.

This man has been famous
since he was like 10,

and he's still surrounded
by people who treat him like a child.

This family that has supported you

and sacrificed everything for you.

I think it was Ozzie.

What if I killed Wendy?

I realized there were some things
I wasn't ready to see.

I think it was Ozzie.

I think my son killed Wendy.

Hey. Are you okay?

♪ If I tell you, if I tell you now ♪

Not really.

♪ Will you keep on,
will you keep on loving me? ♪

Look, you're gonna figure it out.

You always do.

But what if he did it?

What if Ozzie is this monster
that everyone thinks he is,

but I'm the only person who can't see it?

Hey. I'm sorry about last time.

But I wanted to see you again.

I've, uh, kind of been having a hard time.

So you called me to what?

Make you feel better?

Sure.

According to our shadow jury,

Rosie's testimony
did exactly what we needed it to do.

Shift the jury's attention
towards Sal Edwards as a suspect,

which means we need just one final piece,

something that cements
any doubt in the jurors' minds

that Ozzie had anything to do with it.

Now...

Eric Shaver's jury analysis infers

that the sex tape earned us
empathy with some jurors.

Now we may be able to sway a few more
if we put Ozzie on the stand.

Well...

Now would be the time to speak up.

I think it's a risk.

The sex tape gutted Ozzie.

Now we're gonna ask him
to relive it in front of the world?

That's fair.

Daniel?

Daniel.

I agree.

To what?

To whatever you just said.

Wow. Krystal.

W... Well, life in prison
is a hell of a motivator.

So if you think he can handle it,
I say convince him to take the stand.

I just don't wanna break
what's left of him for a win.

We need to have a conversation with Ozzie.

Then we should do that soon.

-I'll meet you there.
-Okay.

He's gonna make it.

We were lucky.

A few hours later and the theobromine
from the chocolate

would have sent little O-Dog
into cardiac arrest.

Thank God you found O-Dog in time, Orsel.

Ozzie, why don't you head up front?

I need to talk to your mom for a sec.

I, uh, deal with a call like this
twice a week.

But usually, it's a candy bar
that was left out by accident.

This was significant.

I'm-I'm sorry, I'm not following.

Well, the amount
of chocolate O-Dog ingested

makes me question
if this was an accident.

Why would it not be an accident?

Have either of your children
had mental health diagnoses?

No. Why?

I ask because in many cases
of animal abuse,

the person who discovers the pet

is often the person responsible
for causing them harm.

I-I'm a vet, not a psychologist,

but children who abuse animals
often become adults who harm people.

-Now I don't want to alarm you, but...
-Stop it. Just stop.

It's not my intent to offend,
but it is my obligation.

Stick to animals, Dr. Lyons.

Clearly, people are
way above your pay grade.

Everything okay?

I can't imagine if we lost him.

Me either, honey.

Ozzie?

Ozzie, you good?

I thought you said me testifying
would be a last resort.

Yes.

But I've been thinking about it,
and you are charming.

And at the end of the day, a star.

And everyone wants to be
in the presence of a star.

At least the general public does,
which includes the jury.

Okay, the "general public,"
they just wanna watch my epic fall.

Nobody cares about my story.

And also, I don't remember
anything about that night.

It is generally uncommon for defendants
in a murder trial to testify,

but there are notable examples

where the defendant's testimony
was the key to acquittal.

And you have the best thing
working in your favor.

What's that?

Your innocence.

Right, right.

But...

what if I did it?

What if I killed Wendy?

I'm just saying, I've been having
these dreams about Wendy and the cabin,

-and they feel very, very real.
-Ozzie...

So what if I was at the cabin?
What if I went to the cabin?

What if I did something
and I just don't remember?

Ozzie! Stop talking now.

I'm sorry.

Ozzie, listen to me.

This is not the time for self-doubt.

This is about figuring out
how to win your case

based on evidence, not dreams.

And the evidence the prosecution
has put forth has been circumstantial.

All of it.

They have the burden of proof,

and it is our goal to demonstrate
that they have not met that burden.

Their burden, not ours.

So whatever thoughts you have
when you lay your head down at night,

that is between you and Dr. Owens, not us.

So unless you want your next home
to be a six-by-eight room

where you shit and eat,
let us prep you for trial.

Understood?

-Yeah.
-Good.

Now, go get you some water,
use the bathroom, and let's get to work.

He is not ready to testify.

No, he is not.

But he will be.

No, Jax, I mean,
he's never going to be ready.

He thinks he killed Wendy,
which means he's...

Which means that he has been
sitting in that courtroom,

listening to all the gory details
of Wendy's death,

and he is having nightmares
based on all of it.

Or based on guilt.

You told me to speak up.
This is me speaking up.

So before you make a decision,

why don't you take tonight
and sleep on it?

The only thing I sleep on
is a pillow and a headscarf.

What's good, boss?

Lena came in yesterday
and asked me about the TMRs.

Oh, yeah. I know they were late,
but I got 'em in.

Yeah, I mean, that would have been
acceptable two days ago

when they were due
and if the code wasn't wrong.

And given the fact this has
happened over and over again,

-I'm gonna have to let you go.
-What?

-Does Cliff know about this?
-You work under me.

I don't need his permission to let you go.

Look.

Look, man. Uh, I'm sorry.

I know I've been a dick, right?

But that's just because
my girl's pregnant.

I didn't wanna say anything
until we made it to the second trimester

because we lost a baby before.

And I really wanna be around
and present this time,

which means that I'm not
present here, right? I guess...

I guess I just, I guess I just didn't know
how to handle it.

So I fucked up. I'm sorry.

I know this is kind of a tough ask,

but is there any way that you can
give me just one more chance?

Please?

Look, be on top of your shit.

I-I don't mean good. I mean perfect.

No more excuses.

From now on, all of this is on you,

and it is going to be
your ass before mine.

You understand?

Yes, sir, I understand.

And on the night of the murder,

you were filmed arguing with the victim,
screaming in her face, correct?

Okay, yes, yes. Uh, we-we argued.

But what is that?
That doesn't mean anything.

You seem angry, Mr. Edwards.

-Are you angry right now?
-No.

And isn't it true
that on the night of the murder,

you ended that argument
by chasing the victim?

Okay. Um, I need a break.

We can take a break.

There are no breaks on the stand.

Bill, give us a second.

Okay.

The questions the prosecution
are going to ask you

are designed to get
the exact reaction you just gave Bill.

Okay. Everybody thinks
that everything I do is some performance.

I understand, but all of this preparation
is to present who you are

without getting tripped up, okay?

It's to give you the ability
to show the real you.

No, no. My business is telling lies
and convincing people it's the truth.

The truth is only what you can
make people believe!

I believe you.

Why?

Because I have dealt with far worse people
accused of far worse things.

What if I've done things in the past

that would convince you
before the assault,

before the drugs and manipulation,

that I'm exactly the kind of piece of shit
man, human, who could do this?

So, what did you think?

A lot of cool scenes.

And, man, that monologue
at the end was lit.

Yay! I'm happy you like it.

Love it.

Monica, thank you for seeing
what I really can do...

which is why I told
my parents you were special.

I think you're special, too.

People flock to you,
they wanna be around you, and I get it.

I do, too.

I'm glad.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I got fancy sparkling water,
regular water.

Uh...

I told you I don't wanna do that anymore.

Oh. Sorry I misread the situation.

I didn't know you were gay.

Or maybe not.

But like I said,
I'm here for whatever... you need.

Script changes.

What the hell? Y-you don't knock?

Oh. I'm sorry.

-I thought I could just...
-You thought?

Oh, so you thought.

Because what I think is
some stupid PA came into my trailer

without announcing themselves
and blamed it on me.

So, say you knocked

one... more... time.

I-I knocked.

Orsel!

What the hell is going on?

Hey, baby.

How was work?

Same shit, but hoping it'll get better.

Huh.

How's the Ozzie prep?

We have a lot of work to do.

Is it about whether he's guilty?

No, it's about whether
he will look guilty.

You know, Bill doesn't think
that Ozzie is ready,

but I keep trying to tell Bill,
when it comes to trials,

the prosecution needs
to feel secure to try a case,

while the defense
needs to take risks to win.

If we come in playing it safe,
we'll have lost before we started.

Hmm. That makes sense.

Well, Billable Bill
is sounding more like Billable Bitch.

Yeah, well, Billable Bitch
thinks Ozzie is guilty, so.

And you no longer think that?

No.

I don't know.

I swear, I don't know.

But what I do know
is that when you've...

...you've been hurt and disappointed

by people that you thought
cared about you,

like Ozzie and myself have,

you don't get rid of
the ones that do, like Wendy.

Hmm.

Sometimes that's the reason
you get rid of them.

To abandon them before they abandon you.

Hmm.

I believe in you, super lawyer.

-I love you.
-Thank you, baby.

-I love you too.
-You're welcome.

When you were seeing Dr. Ellen,

did anyone discuss
your Conduct Disorder diagnosis?

No.

I went for about three months

and she, she signed off on me
going back to work

and dished out 40 milligrams
of Adderall a day.

I've been craving a stimulant
basically every day since.

Often mental health diagnoses,
no matter how scary, can give comfort.

Because it puts behavior classified
by others as abnormal into context.

But I'm sure your parents
had their reasons

for not disclosing
your diagnosis to you.

Like if I poisoned
our family dog growing up?

People without Conduct Disorder diagnosis
hurt dogs, hurt people.

Normal people do just as many bad things
as different people.

But, and let me be clear,
your answer does not matter to me.

But did you do that?

Did you poison your dog?

My mom thinks I did.

And... honestly, I, uh...

I thought about doing a lot of things
to get me off the show.

Thoughts are different than actions.

We don't control our thoughts.

You know, I...

It doesn't matter
if I did or didn't do it.

She thought that her son
was capable of doing it.

She was the last person left.

Still saw me as Ozzie...

the little boy I was before
Caleb Kensington.

She was still my mom
and I was still her son.

But you can't control
what people think of you.

What is important, whether you take
that stand or not, is what you believe.

You know, I don't...

I don't know what's worse.

Knowing you didn't do something and having
the person you love and trust the most

think that you are a monster...

or...

not remembering if you killed

the person you love and trust the most.

I've been having weekly sessions
with Ozzie for the past two months.

Mm-hm.
And in your professional opinion,

would you say that Mr. Edwards
has any mental disorders or conditions

that could affect his behavior?

Mr. Edwards presents signs
of arrested development,

a condition where emotional
and psychological maturity is halted,

often due to severe trauma in childhood.

And would you classify early fame,
instability, and sexual abuse

as severe trauma or disruption?

Yes, which is why his maturity
arrested when he was 13,

when the sexual abuse began.

It's also when a child psychologist
diagnosed him with Conduct Disorder,

a condition in children where there's
a pattern of persistent behavior

that violates societal rules.

But it can also manifest in adulthood,
which it has here.

In Mr. Edwards' case,

he understands consequences
intellectually,

but emotionally, he processes them

through the lens
of a distressed adolescent,

resulting in heightened
emotional reactivity

and difficulty regulating frustrations.

Hmm. So in other words, a temper tantrum.

-In layman's terms, yes.
-Mm-hm.

Can you speak to any instances
in the last few months

that would lead you to believe

that Mr. Edwards is capable
of physical violence,

let alone the murder of his girlfriend?

No.

While he has exhibited
emotional volatility,

I haven't experienced anything
that would lead me to believe

that Ozzie's capable of physical violence.

He's just a boy who had
seen too much, lost too much,

and been failed
by nearly every adult in his life

by the time he reached
the arrested development stage.

Now he has internalized
the loss of a loved one.

Hmm.

Thank you, Dr. Owens.

Dr. Owens, you mentioned Conduct Disorder.

Isn't that a condition often associated
with lack of empathy and guilt,

along with manipulative
and aggressive behavior?

In some cases, yes,
but it presents differently

depending on the child
and the circumstances.

Was Mr. Edwards ever treated
for this mental illness?

Not to my knowledge.

So he went untreated for a decade.

You also stated that Mr. Edwards
has arrested development

and reacts like a distressed adolescent.

Are you suggesting that's justification
for what he did to Miss Collins?

Objection.
Assumes facts not in evidence.

Sustained.

I'll rephrase my question.

Does Mr. Edwards' arrested development
excuse him from accountability?

No, but it explains
how he processes certain situations

and how, in a heightened moment,
he may lack the tools

to regulate his emotional response.

Is that a psychological way of saying

that he doesn't know
how to control himself?

No, it's not.

Do you believe Ozzie Edwards understands
that killing someone is wrong?

-Yes, he understands it's wrong.
-Huh.

Or maybe he just knows
how to play the system.

After all, he's been
in front of the cameras his entire life.

Is it possible he's manipulating you?

I'm trained to detect manipulation.

What I've seen in Mr. Edwards
is regression, panic, and despair.

Panic? Huh.

No further questions.

Yesterday was a win for us.

The jury needed an explanation
for the outbursts

Ozzie's been accused of
during the course of this trial

and for his argument
with Wendy that night.

I've been thinking about this and...

he didn't kill her.

Okay. Is that our angle?

Uh, here are the rest of the case files
on Conduct Disorder diagnosis.

-Thank you, Krystal.
-Mm-hmm.

Look, Ozzie has been famous
for over 12 years.

He doesn't stock his own refrigerator
or pay his own bills

or replace his toilet paper
when it runs out.

You know, when Daniel and I asked him

for his streaming passwords,
he didn't know them.

So we're supposed to believe
that he committed this crime,

cleaned up the scene,

and then left a trail
of circumstantial evidence

in an attempt to get away with it?

-I don't buy it.
-Me neither.

I mean, honestly, I think Ozzie
is too dumb to have killed Wendy.

You're exactly right.

There is no way Ozzie killed Wendy.

Our angle isn't about personality,
but rather capability.

If the man can't wash his own clothes,

why should I believe
that he could cover up a murder?

Brilliant, Krystal.

Oh, well, I mean, you know how I do.

I'm not so sure Ozzie would be onboard
with this new angle.

Ozzie doesn't need to know.

We'll prep him for the questions
Michael asks him,

and not the ones
that insinuate his... naivete.

-Hmm?
-Mm-hmm.

Look, his pride will prevent him
from looking dumb on the stand,

even if it keeps him from prison.

Oh, it's definitely interesting.

Ok-ok... Um, okay, you know, I'ma go.

Bill, what is your problem?

The only problem I have is I don't agree
with putting Ozzie on the stand.

No, what is your problem with me? Hmm?

Every time I have a theory or a plan,
or even just the faintest idea,

here you come being a contrarian.

Lately, you're less Billable Bill,
and more...

Belligerent Bill.

So I'm gonna ask you again,
what is your problem?

You know what my problem is?

My problem is I'm about to put
my entire career on the line

for your whimsical decisions.

Oh. Whimsical?

Yes!

Like you love to say,
your name is on the building.

But guess what? Mine isn't.

And if we don't win this case,
then there's a chance it never will be.

Wait. What does this verdict
have to do with you? Hmm?

You're here to learn. I'm here to win.

Bill, did one of the partners tell you

that if you win this case,
you would make partner?

Hmm. Stephen or Vince?

-It doesn't matter if...
-Stephen or Vince?

-Jax, I'm not gonna get into this.
-Stephen or Vince?

-Both!
-Right!

So the plan is that I win
and you get promoted.

What do I get?

Do I get to tell them that you're
divorcing your sympathetic Black wife

while currently fucking
another Black woman

who happens to be my friend
behind my back?

That's not exactly painting the picture
of partner stability, Bill, now, is it?

-No.
-Right.

I know about Sally. Mm-hmm.

You say you want me to learn,
this is our case.

But you just want an assistant,
a lackey to hang on your every word.

And what do you think
Stephen and Vince want you to be, huh?

Bill, we are too deep in this
to be standing here

fighting with each other
instead of fighting for Ozzie's life.

So what is it gonna be?

You are either with me or against me.

I'm with you, Jax! I'm just...

-I'm with you.
-Good.

Then I look forward
to watching you prove it.

Fuck outta here.

-Are you Lewis?
-Can I help you?

-I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to...
-No, no, it's okay.

Just tell me who you are
and what you want.

I'm Chelsea. Eddie is my dad.

Yeah, look, Jax needs to know
that Eddie isn't who he says he is.

Doesn't surprise me. But say more.

My mom died last spring and she was
my only family apart from my kids.

Eddie was with her until she died.

Do you know he left me
to plan a funeral all by myself?

I know he's swooping in
to help Jax with her mom,

but all he does is scheme and scam.

His intentions are never pure.

Don't get me started on the drugs.

Well, I thought, I thought he was sober.

Until he's not.

Hey, look, I'm, I am so sorry
about your mom

and everything you've been through,

but what do you want from us?

Let me guess.

He said I'm a dangerous person
that can't be trusted.

Am I right?

Almost verbatim.

Look, I just wanted
a chance to talk to Jax

so I could tell her about Eddie.

She deserves a chance to have him
out of her life in a way that I didn't.

Look, I... I-I will try.

Can I ask you a question?

Why do you call him Eddie and not Dad?

Because "Dad" is for men like you.

Not motherfuckers like him.

Daniel, too much has happened

to pretend like anything can be
normal again with Ozzie and my family.

I... I-I hope the truth comes out,
but I doubt the truth is enough.

I love you, but this can't be fixed.

Forgive me. Kristin.

Son? Son?

Hey.

Hey. Where's, uh, where's Mom and Kristin?

Uh, they're not gonna make it.

But you know what?
Don't even worry about them.

You got this.

I'm here for you.

Yeah?

Okay.

Can I get some eggs, toast?

Upfronts are soon, so no carbs.

Why do I have to take
three Adderall pills?

I normally take two.

We're shooting late tonight
and the network is visiting,

so you need to be sharp.

Mom...

how much longer do I have to do this show?

I know it's a lot.

But, sweet... do you know
how lucky you are?

So many kids would love to do what you do.

I'd rather do what they do.

Go take a shower.

A Black actor
should never be late for call.

I didn't do what you think I did.

I'm sure it was an accident.

Okay.

I love you, Mom.

Same... baby.

The defense calls
Orsel Edwards to the stand.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth,
so help you God?

I do.

Mr. Edwards, would you mind
telling the jury your age?

I'm 25.

And how long have you been
a working actor?

Since I was three years old.

Do you live alone?

Yes. Mostly.

Uh, my sister stays with me sometimes
if I have an early call the next day,

or if not her, then my mom.

Or there's just always someone.

Mr. Edwards, do you own a gun?

Yes.

Uh, we keep it in a safe at the cabin.

And what's that safe's combination?

Uh, I'm not sure.

How did you select that gun?

I didn't.

My dad said it was a good model,
so we got it.

Where did you buy it?

The store.

At which gun store?

Uh, I don't know.

Monica took me one day, years ago,
right after I turned 18.

Mm-hmm.

When was the last time you shot it?

Uh, Mom made us take a safety class
right after we got it,

and we all had to fire it in the class,
so I guess seven years ago?

Seven years ago?

So is that why your fingerprints
weren't on the gun?

-Objection.
-Withdrawn.

Mr. Edwards, rope was found at your cabin.

Where did you buy it?

I don't know.

Well, if you had to buy rope today,
where would you buy it from?

At the store.

Which store?

The rope store.

Help me understand how someone
who's not able to do common adult tasks

is able to manipulate a drug dealer,

ditch their phone for surveillance,
and coordinate a trip

to their remote cabin to tie up
and murder their girlfriend.

Objection! Assumes facts
not in evidence, Your Honor.

Your Honor, I am merely drawing
from the testimony.

Sustained.

Mrs. Stewart, last warning.

Understood?

Yes, Your Honor. Apologies.

Mr. Edwards, where were you
on the night of the murder?

-I was at home.
-Doing what?

-Getting high.
-On what?

Weed, Percocet, Molly.

Where did you get the drugs from?

Alex Hill. He brought them over.

Do you remember what happened next?

What are you talking about?

Ozzie fucking Edwards!

I remember feeling guilty.

Guilty?

Yes.

That I broke my promise
to Wendy about staying sober.

But I-I-I thought things
were over between us

and by the time I realized
that I did still love her

and I wanted to work it out,
it was too late.

I was too high to do anything.

I woke up the next morning
in my bed feeling sick.

No further questions.

Mr. Edwards, you carried
an entire hit TV show on your back

as the number one on the call sheet.

-Is that correct?
-Correct.

So you're capable of memorizing
and acting out stories.

But you also perform
with an improv group over on Melrose,

where you have to think on your feet
at the drop of a dime, correct?

Correct. I sometimes do improv.

And yet claim you couldn't have
acted quickly or manipulate evidence

the night Miss Collins was murdered
near your secluded cabin with your gun.

-Objection, Your Honor.
-You're misconstruing what I'm saying.

All while having caretakers who have lied
to get you out of trouble multiple times?

-No. I-I-I just...
-You just, you just, you just what?

-You killed her?
-No...

-Your Honor!
-No, I'm just messed up!

How are you messed up, Ozzie?

Um... I'm not like other people.

I don't know how to do normal things.

I never shopped at a grocery store.

I've never been allowed to shop
at a grocery store.

Or go to an amusement park with friends,
or go to a movie theater.

I hate how dependent I am on other people.

I hate that I didn't try to find her...

or that I was only thinking
about my own feelings,

that I was getting high
while she was dying.

That makes me a selfish
and entitled human being.

It doesn't make me a murderer.

Uh... Mr. Edwards,

Alex Hill testified that you directed him

to take you to the cabin
that night to see Wendy.

Is it possible that you were
too high to remember?

-No.
-And why is that?

Because Alex has only been
to the cabin once, and it was years ago.

Which means I would have had to give him
an address or show him the way.

What? W-w-were you too high to recall?

No.

I don't know how to get there.

Uh, uh... Nothing further, Your Honor.

Mr. Edwards, you're excused.

So, Bill, why did we just watch

Ozzie unravel on the stand in real time?

I thought you said he wasn't
gonna take the stand.

Why didn't you let us know
about this beforehand?

Jax is first chair, and first chair
is responsible for strategy.

You seem to have forgotten
your responsibility.

You keep us in the loop, make sure
that Jax doesn't fly off the mountainside

and 69 our acquisition plans.

Eighty-six.

I think you mean
86 the acquisition plans.

Either way, we're fucked.

I genuinely wonder if you understand
what's at stake here for everyone,

including you.

All due respect,

I don't think you understand
what's at stake here for you.

If I tell Jax what you're up to,

then this entire acquisition
goes up in smoke,

and the only thing
you'll be 69-ing is each other.

I respect Jax, I do.

But the truth is, I'm about to go through
a very taxing and expensive divorce,

which means I need this money
and this win more than anyone.

More than Jax.

So, this is how this is gonna go.

You're gonna help me help you.

Okay.

And how are we gonna do that?

Every single adult in Ozzie's life

has chosen exploitation over protection.

It is nothing short...

No.
No, I should change that. Let's see.

It is nothing short of abhorrent.

-The only...
-We interrupting?

Yes.

Jax, this trial's been a real monster.

And you've handled everything
like a champ, no doubt.

So kudos.

-Hmm.
-However...

It's time we make a call
to the bullpen and close this thing out.

We think Bill should be the one
to do the closing argument.

Oh...

I'm s... Are you... What?

Jax, you've been the face
of this trial, which is great,

but it'll be good for the jury
to see another side of the defense.

Clarity over heart, facts over emotion.

Penis over vagina.

Oh, come on, Jax.

We're all partners here.

This should be a conversation
at the very least.

The only time we're partners
is when we're taking a photo

or the client has a little melanin
in their skin, huh?

So let's not pretend
this is about strategy.

It's about comfort, huh?

You want Bill because he feels safe,

easy to rein in, won't rock the boat.

I don't rock the boat.

I keep the boat upright in rocky waters,

like I've been doing
since the beginning of this trial.

I'm the reason the boat hasn't sank.

My team found Sal and Wendy's sex tape.

I shut down the prosecution's key witness,

and I kept Ozzie
from imploding more than once.

Without me, there would be
no case to close,

no baseball analogies to fumble through,

and no unproven trial attorney
being pitched to lose my case.

All I do is win and make us money.

That is not arrogance.

It is fact, written in stone,
receipts for days.

So, fellas, you don't
have to give me my credit,

but you better start giving me my respect.

Until then, I've got work to do.

And tell Bill I respect his game.

Hell, I might have tried it, too,
but I am not the one to be played with.

The evidence speaks for itself.

Now it's up to you to choose justice
for Wendy Collins

and convict Orsel Edwards
of second-degree murder.

Thank you.

"There can be no keener revelation
of a society's soul

than the way in which
it treats its children."

Now ask yourself if you agree
with the great South African leader

Nelson Mandela.

I do.

I agree as a mother of two.

I agree as a Black woman
existing in this world.

I agree as someone who was once
a vulnerable child herself.

Children cannot defend themselves.

They require love and care
and, above all, protection.

Now, was Ozzie Edwards
loved, cared for, and protected?

Every single adult in Ozzie's life
chose exploitation over protection.

It is nothing short of abhorrent.

The only positive
that lies within this truth

is that someone so naive,
so emotionally stunted,

and under the influence of drugs,

is incapable of committing this crime

in the sophisticated manner
the prosecution has presented.

The prosecution has failed to prove

Ozzie Edwards' guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt.

The prosecution would like you to forget

that this crime was never
properly investigated

because Ozzie was the prize
from the outset.

A known transient believed
to be responsible for three robberies

in the vicinity of Ozzie's cabin
was never reasonably treated as a suspect.

Ask yourself why Rosie Edwards
provided a false alibi for her husband

until questioned under oath.

Ask why Alex Hill is dead,
never properly investigated.

Why the prosecution's theory
of what happened

conveniently ignores trauma
to Miss Collins' skull.

Ask yourself what it means
if Wendy didn't die

exactly as the prosecution claims.

There are far too many questions
for there to be certainty.

And if you are not certain,
then you have doubts.

If you have doubts, that means
Ozzie Edwards is not guilty.

And a not-guilty verdict

means that you have chosen
to protect this young man

in a way that the adults in his life,
who claim to love him,

have chosen not to.

Not guilty for Ozzie, for Wendy...

for the truth.

Now, seven women and five men
will weigh the evidence

to determine if justice for Wendy Collins
means Ozzie Edwards loses his freedom.

For weeks, the prosecution
presented witness after witness,

chipping away
at Ozzie's squeaky-clean persona

to try to convince the jury
he's not the monster

they've made him out to be.

We should know soon if it was enough.

Baby, I'm so sorry
I wasn't there for your testimony.

-It's okay.
-No, it's not okay.

I failed you.

Today, yesterday, the day before that.

When you were 18...

When you were 13.

Monica, the show.

And I'm so sorry I kept
this distance between us.

And I believe you didn't do it.

Ozzie, I was...

And I'm not just talking about Wendy.

Look, the dog, I know you didn't.

I didn't do it.

I know.

There's just always someone.

How did you find me?

Well, I'm your boyfriend. I listen.

And I'm an investigator.

But I'm not on the job right now, okay?

This isn't about the trial.
I care about you.

Kristin...

Kristin, I love you.

Okay?

So if there's anything that you
need to tell someone, tell me.

Tell me now so I can
do everything in my power to help you.

Ozzie has always been
the sun and the moon

to my mom, my dad, their entire world.

He, he blocks out everything.

And I've always had to find my place.

Sometimes you'll do anything
to be seen standing next to the sun.

Ozzie loved that dog...

more than he loved me.

She wants more money?

No. No, no.

That's entirely too much.

Bill, the verdict is in.

Alright, Kristin...

what are you saying?

I've done awful, awful things.

Kristin...
