Because of a home jury. 57 00:05:11,770 --> 00:05:13,810 Nothing was proven, one way or the other. 58 00:05:14,050 --> 00:05:16,890 Excuse us. Heads up. Excuse us. Watch out, folks.

But it's after... Yes, of course. 113 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,320 Who do you want us to check out? 114 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:04,700 Tracy Oliver. 115 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,540 That case is dead and buried. 116 00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,380 All right, Chief. I'll get on it first thing in the morning. 117 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,180 Um, yes, sir. You'll be down there in 20 minutes. 118 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,440 Uh, 10 minutes. 119 00:09:37,149 --> 00:09:38,270 grossly misinformed, Dennis. 120 00:09:38,530 --> 00:09:43,030 Oh, am I? You claim that I am, quote, fooling around with the Oliver case. Not 121 00:09:43,030 --> 00:09:46,250 so. I'm attacking the Oliver case with everything I've got. 122 00:09:46,450 --> 00:09:47,450 Attacking what? 123 00:09:47,790 --> 00:09:48,790 What's the case? 124 00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:51,990 Mrs. Oliver stood trial for the murder of her husband and she got off. 125 00:09:52,310 --> 00:09:56,130 The state couldn't prove she did it. The tragedy is no one could prove she 126 00:09:56,130 --> 00:09:58,150 didn't do it. That was unfortunate for us, too. 127 00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:00,350 Homicide made an exhaustive investigation. 128 00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:04,110 I wouldn't know about that. They were taking a slug out of my back at the 129 00:10:04,510 --> 00:10:06,510 Oh, is that what's bugging you? 130 00:10:06,830 --> 00:10:09,650 You weren't here to run things, so the department did a sloppy job. 131 00:10:09,890 --> 00:10:13,430 Is that what you think? No. In this country, we're obliged to accept the 132 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:14,430 decision of the court. 133 00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:20,710 Unhappily, when there's a hung jury, we're left with a shadow of a doubt. Now 134 00:10:20,710 --> 00:10:24,390 everyone, even people she loves, look at Tracy with a question. 135 00:10:24,950 --> 00:10:26,410 Did you kill him or didn't you? 136 00:10:27,550 --> 00:10:30,870 Dennis, she's reached the point where she can't live with that question any 137 00:10:30,870 --> 00:10:31,870 longer. 138 00:10:32,130 --> 00:10:35,010 Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it, Bob. Yes, there is. 139 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:37,920 We can answer the question. 140 00:10:38,820 --> 00:10:40,880 We can find out who did kill Oliver. 141 00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:44,800 With your permission, I'll start my investigation as of last night. 142 00:10:50,620 --> 00:10:52,300 Just about everything I could dig up. 143 00:10:53,180 --> 00:10:55,820 Trial transcript, statements, newspaper clippings. 144 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,600 I haven't had time to read it all. 145 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,880 For the present, just give me the who, what, where, and why. 146 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,800 Who? Walter T. Oliver, wheeler -dealer millionaire. 147 00:11:08,460 --> 00:11:09,660 He was shot in the head. 148 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,600 Happened in the study of his home on Burlingame Avenue. 149 00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:14,340 Why? 150 00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:15,540 That's the big one. 151 00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:18,180 His wife, Tracy Oliver, was the only suspect. 152 00:11:19,060 --> 00:11:22,800 Prosecution claimed that her motive was his money, plus the fact she was in the 153 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,740 house at the time, plus the fact that her fingerprints were on the gun. 154 00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:30,140 Rifle? Shotgun. Not a very ladylike weapon. 155 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,240 Lizzie Borden used an axe. 156 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:33,680 What's that? 157 00:11:34,700 --> 00:11:36,180 Mrs. Oliver's scarf. 158 00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:38,860 It was found near her husband's body. 159 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,640 His blood. 160 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,200 Well, you're beautiful. 161 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,340 I presume you enjoyed the party. 162 00:11:57,020 --> 00:12:01,140 One of the main reasons I went straight and joined the department is a cocktail 163 00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:02,200 party like that one. 164 00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:06,880 Does the jet set have any gossip about Tracy Oliver's attempted suicide? 165 00:12:07,220 --> 00:12:08,860 Some say she was faking it to get sympathy. 166 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,620 Some fake a razor across her wrist. Then there were those who believed that she 167 00:12:12,620 --> 00:12:15,960 did murder her husband and her conscience is bigger than she is. Tracy 168 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:16,960 has to be innocent. 169 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,700 Lovell? That was her maiden name. Lovell Oliver? What's the difference? She 170 00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:22,200 didn't kill her husband. She told me so. 171 00:12:22,460 --> 00:12:25,600 If I came up with a conclusion like that, you'd throw the book at me. You'd 172 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,600 deserve it. 173 00:12:28,380 --> 00:12:29,380 I'll get it. 174 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,100 Let's get back to the party. 175 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,720 All right. 176 00:12:34,900 --> 00:12:39,600 Everybody agreed on one thing. She hated her husband enough to kill him, whether 177 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,600 he had money or not. 178 00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:43,940 Hated him? What do you mean, hated him? She married him. Because she loved her 179 00:12:43,940 --> 00:12:48,200 father. When her mother died, Mr. Lovell cracked up, lost all of their money, 180 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,940 and ran up impossible debts. 181 00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:52,780 It wasn't a marriage. It was a bargain. 182 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Walter agreed to bail Mr. Lovell out if Tracy married him. Eve, that went out 183 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,640 with high -button shoes. 184 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,440 Well, Mr. Sanger, are we boring you? The cat on the phone wouldn't leave his 185 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,100 name, said you ought to look at the Lynn Levitt TV show. You'd be mighty 186 00:13:10,100 --> 00:13:13,500 interested. Lynn Levitt? Oh, Mark, must we? He's such a rabble -rouser. 187 00:13:13,980 --> 00:13:17,720 I don't see Commissioner Randall giving him his head and allowing him to use 188 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,520 taxpayers' dollars on a personal matter.
