- [car alarm toots]
- [doors unlock]
2
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:25,727
Don’t move, don’t make a sound.
Just give me the keys.
3
00:00:26,484 --> 00:00:27,324
Come on.
4
00:00:28,403 --> 00:00:29,323
I’ll take that watch.
5
00:00:29,904 --> 00:00:30,744
Faster.
6
00:00:31,656 --> 00:00:34,366
- Please. I’m the Mayor.
- I don’t care what you are.
7
00:00:35,285 --> 00:00:36,825
Maybe I’ll kill you because you’re
the Mayor.
8
00:00:36,828 --> 00:00:39,038
- Please.
- Wallet, wallet. Where’s your wallet?
9
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:41,462
It’s in my briefcase,
but I don’t carry any cash.
10
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:43,538
Get in, get in.
Come on, come on.
11
00:00:45,670 --> 00:00:47,340
Disparity of wealth, that’s all this is.
12
00:00:47,422 --> 00:00:48,672
’Cause you got, I take from you.
13
00:00:49,299 --> 00:00:51,469
Put down the knife or your head explodes.
14
00:00:58,475 --> 00:00:59,475
Lie down on the ground.
15
00:01:03,563 --> 00:01:04,863
You take the car, I walk away.
16
00:01:05,648 --> 00:01:06,608
I said, "Lie down!"
17
00:01:07,275 --> 00:01:08,895
You’ve got me at attempted robbery, tops.
18
00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:10,647
And I’m looking at six to eight,
19
00:01:10,737 --> 00:01:12,027
chopped to three if I’m good.
20
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,240
- Shut your mouth.
- No.
21
00:01:13,323 --> 00:01:15,083
No, see, I think you’ll want to hear this.
22
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:17,414
See, if I do time, I gotta come looking
23
00:01:17,494 --> 00:01:19,004
for the guy responsible.
It’s who I am.
24
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:21,460
That’s right.
25
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,786
You take a good, long look at me.
26
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:30,052
Don’t I seem like the kind of psycho
who might come back?
27
00:01:33,301 --> 00:01:34,841
I bet you’ve got kids, too.
28
00:01:40,642 --> 00:01:42,522
[dog barking in distance]

[theme music ends]
31
00:02:49,627 --> 00:02:52,087
[officer 1] Folks, we need you to stay
back behind the yellow tape.
32
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:54,379
[officer 2] Only essential personnel.
33
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:56,588
Essential personnel only.
34
00:02:59,637 --> 00:03:00,717
He just appeared.
35
00:03:00,847 --> 00:03:01,927
I turned around.
36
00:03:02,140 --> 00:03:03,390
Sit down over here, Bill.
37
00:03:03,516 --> 00:03:05,096
[siren wails]
38
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:09,150
- This is the knife?
- He just appeared.
39
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,571
Uh, dust it. Run that through
ballistics for the report.
40
00:03:12,567 --> 00:03:14,317
- I just turned around.
- Bill.
41
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:15,901
Bill, I’m gonna have Jill check you out.
42
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:17,614
I think you might be in shock.
43
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:19,784
Preliminary determination, intermediate
gunshot wound to the head.
44
00:03:19,866 --> 00:03:21,366
Cause of death, the bullet.
45
00:03:21,451 --> 00:03:23,331
- It wasn’t pneumonia?
- That’s sarcasm.
46
00:03:23,328 --> 00:03:24,828
I’ll note your attitude in my report.
47
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:26,123
- Sarcasm.
- All right.
48
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:28,333
Max, take him over to Jill.
49
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:30,626
This was the third car jacking
in one month.
50
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:32,667
- Come on.
- I just killed a man.
51
00:03:33,379 --> 00:03:35,049
- Jimmy.
- What are you waiting for?
52
00:03:42,847 --> 00:03:43,887
All right, fellas, let’s go.
53
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:44,890
Handle with care.
54
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:49,099
Boom. He just pulled the trigger.
55
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:51,271
After the guy dropped the knife?
56
00:03:51,522 --> 00:03:52,362
Oh, yes.
57
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,402
They were both standing real still,
58
00:03:54,609 --> 00:03:56,239
the Mayor was pointing the gun.
59
00:03:56,361 --> 00:03:57,951
They were talking about something.
60
00:03:58,279 --> 00:03:59,529
Real calm.
61
00:04:00,281 --> 00:04:01,321
Then boom!
62
00:04:03,409 --> 00:04:05,789
- Where were you?
- Standing about 50 yards away.
63
00:04:06,871 --> 00:04:09,751
I was poised in eyewitness position.
64
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:11,878
That’s what I am, an eyewitness.
65
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:13,843
- I see.
- Can you get me on Action News?
66
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,130
Howard, we know you suffer
from Alzheimer’s.
67
00:04:16,214 --> 00:04:19,054
This isn’t my Alzheimer’s, I saw it!
68
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:20,929
It was vicious.
69
00:04:21,386 --> 00:04:23,426
- Details at 11:00.
- Howard, uh...
70
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:25,723
Boom! It happened just like
I’m telling you.
71
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,055
He’s right.
72
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:29,728
If the victim had been holding the knife,
73
00:04:29,811 --> 00:04:31,521
- it still would have been in his hand.
- Why?
74
00:04:31,938 --> 00:04:33,358
The bullet went right through
the forebrain.
75
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:34,646
Look at those distal joints.
76
00:04:34,857 --> 00:04:35,977
Totally convulsed.
77
00:04:35,984 --> 00:04:37,244
We’ve got massive contractions
78
00:04:37,235 --> 00:04:38,605
of the carpi radialis.
79
00:04:38,736 --> 00:04:39,816
And check out that abductor.
80
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:41,031
Talk English, will you?
81
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,659
The hand would have convulsed
on the knife.
82
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,874
My bet, the guy dropped it before
the Mayor shot him.
83
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:52,504
I just keep seeing his face.
84
00:04:53,584 --> 00:04:56,304
I close my eyes, and I keep seeing
his face.
85
00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:01,335
We’ve got to talk about counseling, Bill.
86
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,139
You’re bound to suffer some
post-traumatic stress.
87
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:07,886
Jimmy. Good. [clears throat]
88
00:05:08,182 --> 00:05:09,312
I got to make a statement.
89
00:05:10,351 --> 00:05:12,401
The press is asking if we’re
linking this guy
90
00:05:12,603 --> 00:05:14,653
with the two car jackings
around Lincoln.
91
00:05:14,772 --> 00:05:16,192
Was it the same guy?
92
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:18,740
I don’t know.
93
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:21,947
Um, Jill, would you excuse us
for a sec?
94
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:23,735
Sure.
95
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:27,990
What’s the matter?
96
00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:33,286
Evidence says the guy dropped his knife
before you shot him.
97
00:05:34,751 --> 00:05:35,591
I beg your pardon?
98
00:05:37,295 --> 00:05:39,705
The suspect was four feet away from you,
99
00:05:39,714 --> 00:05:42,094
holding no weapon, when you fired.
100
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:43,887
What?
101
00:05:44,886 --> 00:05:46,256
Is this what crazy Howard told you?
102
00:05:46,971 --> 00:05:48,311
[Jimmy] Confirmed by forensics.
103
00:05:50,183 --> 00:05:52,643
In your statement, you said he was holding
a knife to your throat
104
00:05:52,727 --> 00:05:54,227
at the time you pulled the trigger.
105
00:05:57,899 --> 00:06:00,279
You’re talking to me like, like I’m
a suspect or something.
106
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:03,323
Was he holding a knife when you
shot him?
107
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:06,821
I asked you a question!
108
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:12,577
I can’t be completely sure.
109
00:06:13,456 --> 00:06:15,416
He was trying to kill me.
110
00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:18,040
I was probably in shock.
111
00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:21,052
I can’t be 100% certain.
112
00:06:26,511 --> 00:06:27,601
What the hell are you doing?
113
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:31,222
I think you better get yourself a lawyer.
114
00:06:35,853 --> 00:06:37,943
I’m very good with insanity cases.
115
00:06:38,648 --> 00:06:39,858
And may I say, Bill,
116
00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:43,113
I’ve always considered you an ideal candidate.
117
00:06:43,111 --> 00:06:45,321
This is serious. I may need your help.
118
00:06:46,364 --> 00:06:47,204
All right.
119
00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:50,370
But there are two things I need from
all my clients,
120
00:06:51,619 --> 00:06:52,449
the truth,
121
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,619
and a $1,000 retainer.
122
00:06:54,914 --> 00:06:56,374
The latter, I insist on.
123
00:06:56,374 --> 00:06:57,884
I’m not ready to hire you yet.
124
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:01,302
I may not even need an attorney, probably.
125
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:04,009
I’m sure I don’t really need
a lawyer. I...
126
00:07:05,716 --> 00:07:07,046
I haven’t done anything wrong.
127
00:07:09,095 --> 00:07:10,675
Why don’t you tell me what happened?
128
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:13,558
I, uh...
129
00:07:15,268 --> 00:07:18,058
I told him to lie down on the ground,
and he refused.
130
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,400
He kept saying that if I made him
go to jail, he’d be back.
131
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:24,903
And he meant it.
132
00:07:27,530 --> 00:07:30,740
I could tell from the look in his eyes,
this man would be back.
133
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:33,743
I have a family. I...
134
00:07:41,127 --> 00:07:42,247
I just pulled the trigger.
135
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:51,758
Okay, Mary, broaden your stance.
136
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:54,716
Good. Tight pattern.
137
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:03,819
Susan, aim for the trunk,
not for the groin.
138
00:08:06,694 --> 00:08:07,534
Jill.
139
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:10,362
Okay, everybody, reload.
140
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:12,954
What’s up?
141
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:14,794
Well, I’m thinking about joining
the class.
142
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:17,713
- Excuse me?
- I, I figured
143
00:08:17,705 --> 00:08:20,455
it’s a good idea to know how, you know,
just in case.
144
00:08:21,626 --> 00:08:22,706
You hate guns.
145
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:25,344
I hate the thought of being carjacked.
146
00:08:25,963 --> 00:08:28,723
And a gun seemed to save
Bill Pugen. Who knows?
147
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,260
Well, you couldn’t get a carry
permit anyway.
148
00:08:34,347 --> 00:08:37,137
And Bill Pugen was guilty
of illegal possession.
149
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:41,478
By law, you’d have to keep
the gun at home.
150
00:08:42,355 --> 00:08:45,565
Well, just the same even if you got
caught carrying it.
151
00:08:46,067 --> 00:08:47,777
It’s just a misdemeanor, right?
152
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:53,027
The knife was dropped before he shot.
153
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:55,582
I didn’t say it wasn’t.
154
00:08:56,035 --> 00:08:57,155
It’s not in there, Kenny.
155
00:08:57,912 --> 00:08:59,622
There’s nothing in there about the
location of the knife.
156
00:08:59,622 --> 00:09:01,252
I don’t see Howard’s statement.
157
00:09:01,249 --> 00:09:02,669
There’s nothing falsified in this report.
158
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:03,827
It’s what you left out.
159
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:10,554
This document becomes public record.
160
00:09:11,217 --> 00:09:12,047
Meaning?
161
00:09:13,594 --> 00:09:14,434
Meaning?
162
00:09:14,887 --> 00:09:17,057
Meaning, are you sure you want to stir
things up on this?
163
00:09:19,267 --> 00:09:20,387
You redo that report.
164
00:09:21,018 --> 00:09:24,228
You list the facts in their entirety.
Understood?
165
00:09:25,523 --> 00:09:26,363
Yes, sir.
166
00:09:31,112 --> 00:09:32,202
The kids are on their way.
167
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,204
They should be here by 10:00.
168
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Let’s not be basket cases, Marjorie.
169
00:09:39,996 --> 00:09:41,116
We don’t want them to...
170
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:45,419
Let’s see what happens before, uh...
171
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:52,046
How can Jimmy arrest you?
172
00:09:53,968 --> 00:09:55,638
He knows you’re not a criminal.
173
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:58,104
He knows you.
174
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:01,097
I don’t know.
175
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:05,726
Well, there may not be an arrest.
176
00:10:07,982 --> 00:10:10,402
But let’s be calm.
We have to stay calm for the kids.
177
00:10:12,236 --> 00:10:13,146
How?
178
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:17,660
How do we get through this?
179
00:10:22,371 --> 00:10:23,371
We will.
180
00:10:26,959 --> 00:10:28,289
I’m sorry, Marjorie.
181
00:10:31,380 --> 00:10:32,300
I’m sorry.
182
00:10:39,388 --> 00:10:41,848
Hasta la vista, baby.
183
00:10:42,475 --> 00:10:43,925
[Matthew] Well, you can’t get me!
184
00:10:44,018 --> 00:10:46,938
Boys, I’ve told you, no killing each other
on school days.
185
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,771
Let me have that gun , Zack.
Hand me that gun.
186
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:51,113
Oh, no, you don’t, young lady.
No ripped jeans.
187
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:53,322
- You’re not going...
- No school today. Faculty meetings.
188
00:10:53,319 --> 00:10:54,609
I’m going to work.
189
00:10:55,237 --> 00:10:57,027
Wambaugh lets you walk around the office
like that,
190
00:10:57,031 --> 00:10:58,371
exposed at the buttocks?
191
00:10:58,366 --> 00:10:59,776
He likes me to wear these.
192
00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,704
He thinks I have sexy, ripe cheeks.
193
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:03,406
- Is that right?
- He said that? Wambaugh said that?
194
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:05,116
Oh, honey, she’s just pushing
your buttons.
195
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,996
- Could you take the boys to school, please?
- Let’s go.
196
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:09,593
I don’t know if I like you working
for Wambaugh.
197
00:11:10,002 --> 00:11:11,802
That’s a dead issue, sweetheart.
198
00:11:11,921 --> 00:11:13,051
- That’s so...
- Bye.
199
00:11:14,799 --> 00:11:15,799
[Jill exhales deeply]
200
00:11:17,134 --> 00:11:17,974
Ah.
201
00:11:19,804 --> 00:11:21,354
Who am I to say anything?
202
00:11:22,264 --> 00:11:23,854
Did you sleep at all last night?
203
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:27,728
I don’t know what to do, Jill.
204
00:11:31,649 --> 00:11:33,399
Bill Pugen’s a friend of mine.
205
00:11:34,652 --> 00:11:39,072
Well, how about turning the whole thing
over to the DA and letting him decide?
206
00:11:39,865 --> 00:11:41,485
We’re between district attorneys.
207
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:43,662
Petrovic left last week for Green Bay,
208
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:45,711
and the new guy is due in here today.
209
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,250
[sighs]
Probably gonna ask me what I wanna do.
210
00:11:51,961 --> 00:11:55,011
The look in his eyes, I’ve seen it before.
211
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:56,339
Jimmy’s gonna get me.
212
00:11:56,674 --> 00:11:58,434
This new DA, what do you hear?
213
00:11:58,426 --> 00:12:01,346
Uh, supposed to be some up-and-comer
out of Madison.
214
00:12:01,429 --> 00:12:03,429
He’ll probably use this as a cause célèbre.
215
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:06,064
Hey, you’re the celebrity.
216
00:12:06,142 --> 00:12:08,272
Just take a look at these papers.
217
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:10,149
The people think you’re a hero.
218
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:13,516
Your approval rating has gone
up 19 points.
219
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:16,526
Jimmy Brock doesn’t listen to
public opinion.
220
00:12:16,652 --> 00:12:18,402
If he thinks I’ve committed a crime,
221
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,204
the son of a bitch will arrest me.
That’s...
222
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:22,241
He meant "son of a bitch" in a good way.
223
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:27,037
Um, here are the photocopies you wanted.
224
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,333
Ah, thank you.
225
00:12:28,831 --> 00:12:31,081
Tell me, Kim, do you know your
father’s thinking
226
00:12:31,167 --> 00:12:32,417
on this shooting incident?
227
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:34,423
That’s not fair, Mr. Wambaugh.
228
00:12:34,420 --> 00:12:35,800
You said when you hired me
229
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,510
that you would not be using me
as a police snitch.
230
00:12:38,924 --> 00:12:42,604
Oh, I wouldn’t ask you to encroach
on family relationships.
231
00:12:42,887 --> 00:12:44,427
The family is sacred.
232
00:12:44,764 --> 00:12:47,894
But should information fall into your lap,
233
00:12:48,058 --> 00:12:51,598
well, we have an obligation to represent
our client zealously.
234
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:54,318
There’s a whole cannon of ethics,
you know,
235
00:12:54,690 --> 00:12:56,190
aimed directly at my head.
236
00:12:59,528 --> 00:13:01,238
I don’t know what my father’s thinking.
237
00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:07,949
She knows.
He’s gonna get me.
238
00:13:08,162 --> 00:13:10,922
Ah, Jimmy couldn’t think of bringing charges.
239
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:12,919
The people would lynch him.
240
00:13:14,126 --> 00:13:15,586
Oh, he can’t do it.
241
00:13:16,378 --> 00:13:18,458
You want me to indict the town mayor?
242
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:20,758
You heard the facts.
243
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:22,720
But what jury will convict?
244
00:13:23,010 --> 00:13:24,470
It’s vigilantism.
245
00:13:25,971 --> 00:13:27,471
Sheriff, look, uh...
246
00:13:28,766 --> 00:13:30,136
I’m new here in town.
247
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:32,686
I don’t know you, I don’t know the people.
248
00:13:36,106 --> 00:13:39,566
The thing is, the good guy lived,
the bad guy died.
249
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:40,492
The facts are gray.
250
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:42,236
We can basically do whatever we want.
251
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,280
What I want is to uphold the law.
252
00:13:46,784 --> 00:13:49,454
I understand, Sheriff, but follow me.
253
00:13:50,454 --> 00:13:54,254
Now, on appearance, the shooting
was self-defense.
254
00:13:54,959 --> 00:13:56,919
Now, if you, as the Sheriff,
want to call it that,
255
00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,589
I, as the District Attorney,
will accept that.
256
00:14:01,298 --> 00:14:03,588
I will not call it self-defense.
257
00:14:04,093 --> 00:14:05,183
[door opens]
258
00:14:05,261 --> 00:14:07,891
Douglas Wambaugh.
It’s an honor and a pleasure.
259
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:09,970
Doug, you don’t have an appointment.
260
00:14:10,474 --> 00:14:12,184
"An appointment." What a character.
261
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:14,233
Jimmy and I are very good friends.
262
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,480
Our families spend the holidays together.
263
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,944
Last week, his wife, Jill, she snipped off
264
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:20,991
- a bunion off my left toe.
- Doug.
265
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:22,153
[Douglas]
She didn’t charge me.
266
00:14:22,236 --> 00:14:24,656
She was so delicate,
I barely felt a pinch.
267
00:14:25,072 --> 00:14:27,452
That’s what friends mean to each other
here in Rome.
268
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:29,293
The people in this town are very close.
269
00:14:29,285 --> 00:14:30,735
This is a private conversation.
270
00:14:30,828 --> 00:14:32,158
Well, I just came to meet
271
00:14:32,288 --> 00:14:34,328
our new addition to the public sector.
272
00:14:34,915 --> 00:14:37,125
Douglas Wambaugh welcomes you
to Rome, Wisconsin.
273
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:38,036
Oh, thank you.
274
00:14:38,502 --> 00:14:39,462
It’s a pleasure.
275
00:14:39,837 --> 00:14:41,707
I’d like to have you over
for dinner maybe.
276
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:44,384
Doug, the District Attorney and I are
discussing business.
277
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:45,593
Now, if there’s nothing else...
278
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:47,433
Well, actually, since I’m here...
279
00:14:47,761 --> 00:14:49,761
I represent Mayor Bill Pugen.
280
00:14:50,014 --> 00:14:51,524
Not that he’s charged with anything,
281
00:14:51,599 --> 00:14:53,019
nor do I expect him to be.
282
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:55,392
Would my expectations be misplaced?
283
00:14:55,853 --> 00:14:57,523
It’s too soon for us to know.
284
00:14:57,605 --> 00:14:59,725
Too soon means it’s not too late.
285
00:15:01,191 --> 00:15:02,611
Off the record, let me provide you
286
00:15:02,610 --> 00:15:04,320
with a little free discovery.
287
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:06,912
That is my gift to you as a
welcome present.
288
00:15:07,239 --> 00:15:08,449
I’m not looking for any gifts.
289
00:15:08,657 --> 00:15:09,907
Take one anyway.
290
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:13,038
What you’re both thinking about is stupid.
291
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:16,419
Do you know what kind of a witness
Carter Pike is?
292
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:19,462
A rumored necrophiliac who chases tornadoes.
293
00:15:20,002 --> 00:15:21,052
And Howard Buss?
294
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:22,381
[laughing]
295
00:15:22,630 --> 00:15:25,590
I can get continuances, drag this out.
296
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,508
And by the time we get to trial,
297
00:15:27,801 --> 00:15:29,721
his Alzheimer’s would have damaged
his brain,
298
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,060
he wouldn’t be able to talk,
299
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:32,683
much less have a memory.
300
00:15:32,848 --> 00:15:33,968
Who... Who is this man?
301
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,350
I am Douglas Wambaugh.
302
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,652
And I win my cases.
303
00:15:40,356 --> 00:15:43,276
Mayor Pugen is a beloved member
of the community.
304
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:46,236
And I don’t think that any new kid in town
305
00:15:46,362 --> 00:15:49,742
- should make a name...
- I don’t need to make a name for myself.
306
00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:54,583
All I ask is that we think long and hard
307
00:15:54,662 --> 00:15:56,412
about what we plan to do.
308
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:58,542
There are consequences.
309
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,500
I’ll call you about that dinner.
310
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:08,719
Well, the facts will sustain the charges,
311
00:16:08,801 --> 00:16:11,301
but, personally, I think an arrest
would be futile.
312
00:16:16,725 --> 00:16:18,095
But if I do make an arrest?
313
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,690
Is Mayor Pugen in?
314
00:16:25,192 --> 00:16:26,112
He’s in a meeting.
315
00:16:26,944 --> 00:16:28,324
Excuse me.
You can’t go in there.
316
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:29,566
We can.
317
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,070
Excuse me?
318
00:16:32,366 --> 00:16:34,536
[Kenny] I’m sorry, Bill.
If it were up to me...
319
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:36,325
Please put your hands behind your back.
320
00:16:37,287 --> 00:16:39,997
You are under arrest for the murder
of John Dunham.
321
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:41,960
You have the right to remain silent.
322
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:45,248
Anything you say may and shall be used
against you.
323
00:16:45,504 --> 00:16:46,924
You have the right to an attorney.
324
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:49,879
If you cannot afford one, one will
be provided to you
325
00:16:49,967 --> 00:16:51,217
by the state of Wisconsin.
326
00:16:52,302 --> 00:16:55,432
Details remain unclear,
but we can confirm
327
00:16:55,431 --> 00:16:58,061
Bill Pugen, the Mayor
of Rome, Wisconsin,
328
00:16:58,142 --> 00:17:00,482
has just been arrested
for murder.
329
00:17:00,769 --> 00:17:04,269
It seems the people of Rome
would rather prosecute the town’s sheriff
330
00:17:04,481 --> 00:17:07,571
for arresting a man
everyone considers to be a hero.
331
00:17:07,860 --> 00:17:10,860
If I’d have been the mayor,
I’d have shot the SOB.
332
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:12,451
No question about it.
333
00:17:12,448 --> 00:17:13,778
- Absolutely.
- [switches off TV]
334
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:15,493
[sighs]
335
00:17:20,330 --> 00:17:22,330
[bailiff] Case Number 9942.
336
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:24,328
People v. William Pugen.
337
00:17:24,668 --> 00:17:27,208
Douglas Wambaugh for the defendant,
Your Honor.
338
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:28,880
We waive reading.
339
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:31,013
But may I say for the record,
340
00:17:31,258 --> 00:17:32,838
in 32 years of practice,
341
00:17:32,843 --> 00:17:35,353
I have never witnessed such a
travesty of justice.
342
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:37,509
- [people agreeing]
- [gavel pounding]
343
00:17:37,598 --> 00:17:38,428
[Judge] Quiet.
344
00:17:40,768 --> 00:17:41,598
Quiet!
345
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:45,146
Quiet down or I’ll clear the room
right now.
346
00:17:46,565 --> 00:17:48,725
John Littleton appearing for the people,
Your Honor.
347
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,031
No request for bail,
348
00:17:50,027 --> 00:17:52,067
but we would petition for change
of venue...
349
00:17:52,071 --> 00:17:54,161
We want the trial here in Rome.
350
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:57,447
The defendant is the mayor of the town.
351
00:17:57,618 --> 00:17:59,948
And he’s entitled to a jury of his peers.
352
00:18:00,037 --> 00:18:02,037
Yes, but not his close, personal friends.
353
00:18:02,206 --> 00:18:04,826
Your Honor, I take exception to
that remark.
354
00:18:05,084 --> 00:18:07,634
The District Attorney is new to Rome.
He doesn’t know us,
355
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:09,415
and already he insinuates
356
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:11,010
that the people of our community
357
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:12,550
are incapable of being trusted.
358
00:18:12,633 --> 00:18:13,683
I didn’t say that.
359
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:15,139
I could certainly understand
360
00:18:15,219 --> 00:18:17,759
this young man’s desire to get
out of this case.
361
00:18:17,971 --> 00:18:21,141
He’s probably afraid of a big murder trial
because he’s inexperienced.
362
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:23,345
Hey, I’m not afraid of anything.
363
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,766
I’m speaking as an officer of this court.
364
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:27,401
And I believe that a venue change
365
00:18:27,481 --> 00:18:28,821
is in the interest of a fair trial.
366
00:18:28,982 --> 00:18:30,822
Our new friend has quite a temper.
367
00:18:30,818 --> 00:18:32,608
- Who is this man?
- [Judge] All right, that’s enough.
368
00:18:32,903 --> 00:18:34,993
If the defendant wants his day
in this court,
369
00:18:35,072 --> 00:18:36,412
I’m inclined to give it to him.
370
00:18:36,490 --> 00:18:38,740
Your Honor, the defendant is the
mayor of the town.
371
00:18:38,826 --> 00:18:39,866
His friends live here.
372
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:41,292
One of them arrested him.
373
00:18:41,578 --> 00:18:43,458
- [people agreeing]
- [gavel pounding]
374
00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:44,409
[Judge] Quiet!
375
00:18:45,332 --> 00:18:47,922
I’m satisfied we can provide a fair
trial right here.
376
00:18:48,168 --> 00:18:50,298
Petition for venue change is denied.
377
00:18:50,379 --> 00:18:52,299
OR is granted.
Let’s set a date.
378
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,429
Your Honor, the defendant stands ready
for trial now.
379
00:18:58,011 --> 00:19:00,641
- Immediately?
- [Douglas] As long as these charges
380
00:19:00,639 --> 00:19:02,769
are allowed to hang over his head,
he is hurt.
381
00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:05,100
He wants to confront his accusers at once.
382
00:19:05,394 --> 00:19:07,354
- [people agreeing]
- [Judge] That’s enough.
383
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:08,977
Quiet.
384
00:19:09,356 --> 00:19:10,566
Counsel, in chambers.
385
00:19:10,774 --> 00:19:12,364
Sheriff Brock, you too.
386
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,529
If you are gonna put on an insanity defense,
387
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:18,200
- I need time...
- We’re not going with insanity,
388
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:19,832
we’re going with self-defense.
389
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:21,907
Police investigation done?
390
00:19:22,703 --> 00:19:24,293
- [Jimmy] Uh, basically.
- What, what?
391
00:19:24,288 --> 00:19:26,118
This is a murder trial, Your Honor.
392
00:19:26,874 --> 00:19:29,924
The longer this thing lives,
the more publicity it will generate.
393
00:19:30,377 --> 00:19:32,667
The bigger the circus,
the tougher it will be
394
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:34,381
to find impartial jurors.
395
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:35,838
- Two weeks.
- What?
396
00:19:35,841 --> 00:19:38,971
Your Honor, I request that cameras be
allowed in the courtroom.
397
00:19:40,512 --> 00:19:42,392
- Why?
- You’re asking me why?
398
00:19:42,389 --> 00:19:44,349
- To defray legal costs.
- [Judge] Denied.
399
00:19:44,433 --> 00:19:47,103
We’ve negotiated a movie-of-the-week deal
with CBS.
400
00:19:47,394 --> 00:19:49,154
They said if they get enough
documentary footage,
401
00:19:49,146 --> 00:19:50,556
they’ll air it during sweeps,
402
00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:52,154
which will give us a higher license fee.
403
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:55,109
- Am I hearing this?
- Wambaugh, I said denied.
404
00:19:56,653 --> 00:19:57,913
Voir dire starts Monday.
405
00:19:58,614 --> 00:20:01,164
Trial date, November on the 1st.
Now, get out.
406
00:20:01,783 --> 00:20:03,203
[Douglas] About dinner,
I spoke to my wife.
407
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,372
I don’t want to have dinner.
408
00:20:04,578 --> 00:20:05,828
A man has to eat.
409
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:09,075
My wife makes a wonderful brisket.
410
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:10,713
It’s her special dish.
411
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:13,166
Sheriff Brock.
412
00:20:16,548 --> 00:20:18,548
Do you have any idea what you’ve done?
413
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:23,176
[Jimmy] The job.
414
00:20:25,307 --> 00:20:27,807
That’s what I do as Sheriff,
that’s what you do as Deputy.
415
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:31,060
- I did my job.
- Did you tell the Mayor that if it were up to you,
416
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:32,903
an arrest would not be made?
417
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:35,572
- Did you tell him that?
- I don’t think he’s a criminal.
418
00:20:37,402 --> 00:20:39,282
I won’t stand for insubordination
419
00:20:39,363 --> 00:20:41,073
any more than I will vigilantism.
420
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:43,704
I meant no disrespect to you, Jimmy.
421
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:44,624
It’s just that...
422
00:20:45,035 --> 00:20:45,865
It’s just what?
423
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,329
You see the statistics.
424
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:49,456
Crime’s rising, we can’t stop it.
425
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:52,668
People these days, they have to start
protecting themselves.
426
00:20:53,752 --> 00:20:56,052
Ten years ago, it was
"Lock your front door."
427
00:20:56,338 --> 00:20:58,668
Five years ago, "Install an alarm."
428
00:20:59,466 --> 00:21:01,216
Maybe today it’s "Buy a gun."
429
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:03,262
Hmm. Very good point.
430
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:04,720
I’ll put it in my opening.
431
00:21:05,597 --> 00:21:08,387
I can’t believe you’re representing
Bill Pugen.
432
00:21:08,392 --> 00:21:09,852
You two don’t like each other.
433
00:21:10,811 --> 00:21:12,231
Exactly why he wants me.
434
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:14,864
The whole town knows that I think
he’s a shmuck.
435
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:17,937
For me to defend him must mean that
I think he’s innocent.
436
00:21:18,735 --> 00:21:20,445
So that’s why he wants you.
437
00:21:20,988 --> 00:21:22,238
Why’d you say yes?
438
00:21:22,906 --> 00:21:24,446
He is innocent.
439
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:27,289
This is the big time, Myriam.
440
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:28,953
This is my chance.
441
00:21:30,205 --> 00:21:32,035
You remember why I left New York.
442
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:33,996
They all laughed at me there.
443
00:21:35,043 --> 00:21:37,593
When will you stop having to prove
yourself?
444
00:21:38,213 --> 00:21:40,803
I’m not trying to prove myself.
445
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:42,676
He broke the law.
446
00:21:43,677 --> 00:21:45,507
If anything, it’s because he’s the Mayor.
447
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:49,057
If I made such a public exception,
448
00:21:49,182 --> 00:21:50,812
that wouldn’t serve the town.
449
00:21:51,643 --> 00:21:54,233
But arresting him has ripped the town
apart, Jimmy.
450
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:57,146
Most people saw it as self-defense.
451
00:21:57,858 --> 00:21:59,228
You could have let it be.
452
00:22:00,819 --> 00:22:02,779
[sighs] I couldn’t let it be.
453
00:22:13,457 --> 00:22:14,537
[man] I’ll hook up inside.
454
00:22:14,541 --> 00:22:16,291
Okay. I think we’ll just set up
over there.
455
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:22,381
At this point, we don’t know who will be
taking the stand first.
456
00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:24,469
- Speculation is that...
- We’ve learned virtually nothing
457
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:25,838
about the defense’s strategy.
458
00:22:26,053 --> 00:22:28,063
- It’s anticipated that Mayor Pugen will...
- You know, of course,
459
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:29,925
that the Mayor has been completely
silent so far,
460
00:22:30,015 --> 00:22:31,305
on the advice of his attorney.
461
00:22:31,558 --> 00:22:33,188
But it would be impossible to prevail
462
00:22:33,185 --> 00:22:35,595
on a self-defense strategy without
hearing his account.
463
00:22:35,896 --> 00:22:38,186
When we walk in and out of the
courtroom, Marjorie,
464
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:39,730
I want you to take his hand.
465
00:22:40,650 --> 00:22:42,860
You believe in him, you love him.
466
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,320
The jury has to see it.
467
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:48,951
And you, children, you look
at him adoringly.
468
00:22:49,618 --> 00:22:52,408
He’s your father, a loving family man.
469
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,170
And you embrace at the end of each day
470
00:22:55,165 --> 00:22:56,785
right there in the courtroom.
471
00:22:57,626 --> 00:22:58,786
We want the jury,
472
00:23:00,045 --> 00:23:01,625
and we want to humanize.
473
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:05,626
Are you all right?
474
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:08,425
Oh, I’m fine. I’m fine.
475
00:23:09,429 --> 00:23:10,469
This one...
476
00:23:11,723 --> 00:23:13,233
This one’s a little tense.
477
00:23:14,643 --> 00:23:16,733
- How can this be?
- Just give me a mild sedative.
478
00:23:16,812 --> 00:23:19,272
- I’ll be fine.
- I can’t put you in the witness chair
479
00:23:19,356 --> 00:23:20,396
on drugs, Carter.
480
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:21,572
Doctor.
481
00:23:21,942 --> 00:23:23,902
It’s a neurotic edema of the vocal chords,
482
00:23:23,902 --> 00:23:25,532
probably induced by panic.
483
00:23:25,529 --> 00:23:27,199
Oh, so he’s gonna sound like a chipmunk?
484
00:23:27,364 --> 00:23:29,914
[stutters] It could just be hyperventilation.
485
00:23:30,283 --> 00:23:31,543
Carter, let’s try some singing.
486
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:33,160
Sometimes that can relax the swelling.
487
00:23:33,245 --> 00:23:34,905
You have got to be kidding me.
488
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:37,213
He had a bad experience in the
witness stand last year.
489
00:23:37,207 --> 00:23:38,957
He’s the medical examiner.
490
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,457
[Carter] ♪ My eyes have
seen the glory of the... ♪
491
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:42,963
Oh, no, that’s it.
I’m kicking it.
492
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:44,670
You’re not kicking it.
493
00:23:45,006 --> 00:23:47,296
Look, you cannot expect me
to go into court
494
00:23:47,384 --> 00:23:48,594
- with these two witnesses.
- I expect you...
495
00:23:48,677 --> 00:23:50,387
This if my first trial in this town...
496
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:51,297
Hey!
497
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:52,890
- [Carter clearing throat]
- Hmm?
498
00:23:54,349 --> 00:23:55,639
Maybe Howard should go first.
499
00:23:57,144 --> 00:23:58,104
[John sighs]
500
00:23:58,979 --> 00:24:00,439
- Howard, are you ready?
- Yes.
501
00:24:00,981 --> 00:24:02,861
We go through my Alzheimer’s
condition first,
502
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:05,494
flagging the occasional lapses
of dementia,
503
00:24:05,569 --> 00:24:07,569
but clarifying that it does not impair
504
00:24:07,571 --> 00:24:09,281
my capacity for observation.
505
00:24:09,656 --> 00:24:11,066
Good, good.
Now, look,
506
00:24:11,158 --> 00:24:12,408
if there’s anything that you
don’t remember,
507
00:24:12,409 --> 00:24:13,829
you just say so, all right?
508
00:24:13,994 --> 00:24:15,544
We can always recollect with
your statement.
509
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:17,077
Now, Howard,
this is very important,
510
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:19,674
if you get confused,
just say you don’t remember.
511
00:24:20,250 --> 00:24:21,670
Don’t worry about me.
512
00:24:22,252 --> 00:24:24,212
- I’m ready.
- Okay.
513
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:25,456
[in squeaky voice] So am I. Let’s go.
514
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:27,591
[John sighs]
515
00:24:28,175 --> 00:24:30,335
[Jimmy] All right.
Please. Please. Move aside.
516
00:24:30,802 --> 00:24:32,802
Please.
Please excuse us.
517
00:24:32,888 --> 00:24:34,638
- Not now.
- [man] Here comes the Mayor.
518
00:24:34,723 --> 00:24:36,643
- [Douglas] No comment.
- [Pugen] Excuse me, please.
519
00:24:36,725 --> 00:24:37,975
- No comment.
- [Douglas] Let us through.
520
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:39,556
[reporters clamoring]
521
00:24:39,561 --> 00:24:41,151
- [Pugen] No comment.
- [Douglas] Please.
522
00:24:41,146 --> 00:24:42,516
Let us through. Please.
523
00:24:43,148 --> 00:24:46,028
Later, later.
No comment now. No comment. Later.
524
00:24:48,403 --> 00:24:49,783
I have a story for you.
525
00:24:51,198 --> 00:24:53,908
Your Honor, the prosecution calls
as its first witness
526
00:24:53,909 --> 00:24:55,909
- Mr. Howard Buss.
- Your Honor,
527
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:59,078
the defense will stipulate
to Mr. Buss’s testimony.
528
00:24:59,247 --> 00:25:01,537
He saw Mayor Pugen discharge
his weapon
529
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:03,455
after the carjacker dropped the knife.
530
00:25:03,585 --> 00:25:04,625
Mr. Littleton?
531
00:25:06,087 --> 00:25:07,627
Well, the prosecution contends
532
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:09,631
that the gun was fired
20 to 30 seconds
533
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:10,883
after the knife was dropped.
534
00:25:10,884 --> 00:25:14,184
20 to 30 seconds so stipulated
with pleasure.
535
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:20,024
Uh, fine.
536
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:22,652
The jury has to consider this stipulation
537
00:25:22,646 --> 00:25:24,266
as uncontroverted evidence.
538
00:25:24,981 --> 00:25:26,481
Prosecution may call its next witness.
539
00:25:26,775 --> 00:25:27,725
Uh, the People...
540
00:25:28,443 --> 00:25:29,693
[Carter clearing throat]
541
00:25:30,111 --> 00:25:31,571
The People call Carter Pike.
542
00:25:31,905 --> 00:25:33,525
All Carter Pike is gonna do
543
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:35,242
is confirm what Howard says.
544
00:25:35,825 --> 00:25:36,735
Mr. Littleton?
545
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:40,002
That’s right.
546
00:25:40,372 --> 00:25:43,002
We can stipulate that Carter’s
forensic findings
547
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:45,253
support Howard Buss’s version
of the events?
548
00:25:47,045 --> 00:25:48,505
- Fine.
- [Judge] So ordered.
549
00:25:48,505 --> 00:25:49,665
Call your next witness.
550
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,433
Well, that’s all we have, Your Honor.
551
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:55,300
The prosecution rests.
552
00:25:55,929 --> 00:25:57,349
[scattered laughter]
553
00:26:02,435 --> 00:26:03,725
You could have demanded they testify.
554
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:04,942
Why should I?
555
00:26:04,938 --> 00:26:06,608
I’m happy to take the stipulations.
556
00:26:08,024 --> 00:26:09,994
[sighs] Don’t you see what Wambaugh did?
557
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:12,525
The jury doesn’t get to hear our story.
558
00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:15,529
Instead of witnesses, they get
dry stipulations.
559
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:16,872
Now, what kind of impact is that...
560
00:26:16,950 --> 00:26:18,990
Are you gonna tell me how to try
my case, Sheriff?
561
00:26:18,994 --> 00:26:20,334
What, are you a lawyer?
562
00:26:21,037 --> 00:26:24,077
Two stipulations.
That is your entire case.
563
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:25,962
Look, Howard Buss and Carter Pike
564
00:26:25,959 --> 00:26:27,879
are unreliable witnesses.
565
00:26:28,211 --> 00:26:31,011
They’re the two most unreliable witnesses
I’ve ever seen.
566
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:33,718
Now, I don’t care what the
defense’s strategy is.
567
00:26:33,717 --> 00:26:36,717
For me to get my case in without
having to talk about Howard’s Alzheimer’s,
568
00:26:36,970 --> 00:26:38,760
or without the jury listening
to Carter Pike’s
569
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:40,967
- little chipmunk voice...
- Don’t yell at me.
570
00:26:40,974 --> 00:26:42,854
Don’t tell me how to try my case.
571
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,060
All I’m telling you is that the only story
572
00:26:46,146 --> 00:26:48,396
the jury gets to hear is the Mayor’s.
573
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:49,977
I’ll get the Mayor.
574
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:52,940
When he testifies, I’ll get him.
575
00:27:00,785 --> 00:27:01,945
160 over 90.
576
00:27:02,954 --> 00:27:04,044
That is a little high.
577
00:27:05,290 --> 00:27:07,380
But it’s understandable with all
the stress, Marjorie.
578
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:09,039
Everything else is just fine.
579
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:12,130
So, I’m not having a heart attack?
580
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:14,050
No. Just a little hypertension.
581
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,680
I’ll call in a prescription for you at...
582
00:27:18,261 --> 00:27:19,101
Okay.
583
00:27:21,389 --> 00:27:22,599
Nothing to worry about.
584
00:27:28,438 --> 00:27:31,978
You and Jimmy have been in our house.
585
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:36,823
We have been in yours.
586
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:41,534
My husband is a moral man.
587
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:45,159
Problem is...
588
00:27:46,831 --> 00:27:47,831
so is mine.
589
00:27:51,544 --> 00:27:53,304
So, when you surprised him with
your pistol,
590
00:27:53,380 --> 00:27:54,960
- he dropped the knife?
- That’s right.
591
00:27:55,423 --> 00:27:57,933
I kept telling him to lie down
or I’d shoot,
592
00:27:58,051 --> 00:27:59,641
and he kept staring at me.
593
00:28:00,261 --> 00:28:03,641
Saying that if I was responsible
for sending him to jail, he’d be back
594
00:28:04,182 --> 00:28:06,352
to kill me or maybe just to maim me.
595
00:28:07,435 --> 00:28:10,305
So, what was going through your mind
at this point, sir?
596
00:28:12,816 --> 00:28:13,646
The system.
597
00:28:14,109 --> 00:28:15,109
The system?
598
00:28:16,069 --> 00:28:17,239
I kept thinking about...
599
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,236
About the overpopulation of the prisons.
600
00:28:20,490 --> 00:28:23,370
How violent criminals are being
set free earlier.
601
00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:26,083
How they come out of prison
602
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:27,659
more dangerous than they go in,
603
00:28:27,664 --> 00:28:30,544
how he probably would be
out in three years,
604
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,792
and I was afraid.
605
00:28:32,669 --> 00:28:34,419
You were afraid that he would kill you?
606
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:37,470
When he talked about killing me,
that was one thing.
607
00:28:40,885 --> 00:28:42,675
But when he threatened my kids,
608
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:44,680
my children...
609
00:28:46,599 --> 00:28:48,099
I said to myself, "No.
610
00:28:50,186 --> 00:28:53,436
"I will not let this man harm my family.
611
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,190
I will not."
612
00:28:56,317 --> 00:28:57,487
[Douglas] So, what did you do?
613
00:28:58,862 --> 00:29:01,282
I looked right into his psychotic eyes,
614
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:03,026
and I pulled the trigger.
615
00:29:03,116 --> 00:29:05,196
[people applauding]
616
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,695
- [gavel pounding]
- [Judge] Quiet.
617
00:29:07,704 --> 00:29:08,714
That’s enough.
618
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:10,964
You people be quiet.
619
00:29:12,167 --> 00:29:13,457
[Douglas] Thank you, Mayor Pugen.
620
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:14,918
I have nothing further.
621
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:19,546
Well... [clears throat]
622
00:29:19,924 --> 00:29:21,634
Just so we’re all clear here.
623
00:29:23,178 --> 00:29:25,888
Now, you’re not claiming any
diminished capacity or insanity
624
00:29:25,889 --> 00:29:27,099
when you pulled that trigger?
625
00:29:27,223 --> 00:29:28,353
To the contrary, it was probably
626
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:30,103
the sanest moment of my life.
627
00:29:30,977 --> 00:29:32,687
- [people applauding]
- [Judge] I said, "That’s enough."
628
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:34,231
- [gavel pounds]
- I’m warning you.
629
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:37,691
One more outburst,
and I’ll take prisoners.
630
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:40,490
Did you know, sir, it is illegal
631
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:41,817
to carry a concealed weapon?
632
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:45,450
The Constitution guarantees
the right to bear arms.
633
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:47,580
The Bill of Rights does not guarantee...
634
00:29:47,577 --> 00:29:49,037
- [Judge] Hold it, Counsel.
- ...the individual’s right
635
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:50,247
- to bear arms.
- I’m not interested
636
00:29:50,330 --> 00:29:52,830
in any Constitutional analysis.
637
00:29:53,082 --> 00:29:54,752
Save it for the appellate courts.
638
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:59,262
Now, according to your testimony,
639
00:29:59,547 --> 00:30:01,547
you shot the victim because
you were afraid
640
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:03,473
he would come back three years later
641
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:06,008
- to harm you or your family.
- That is correct.
642
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:09,101
You had no fear that he would harm you
at that very second?
643
00:30:09,849 --> 00:30:12,269
- That is correct.
- And you believe you were justified?
644
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:13,557
Absolutely.
645
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:16,192
Proud to stand up in court today
and say so.
646
00:30:16,189 --> 00:30:19,279
I am not proud of killing another
human being,
647
00:30:19,442 --> 00:30:21,782
but I will not engage in recrimination.
648
00:30:22,153 --> 00:30:25,453
Well, if you were so convinced of
your merit, Mr. Mayor,
649
00:30:25,532 --> 00:30:27,202
why at first did you lie?
650
00:30:29,244 --> 00:30:30,794
Why did you tell Sheriff Brock
651
00:30:30,787 --> 00:30:33,207
that that knife was pressed against
your throat when you fired?
652
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:41,756
I told the Sheriff that the knife was
pressed to my throat, that is true.
653
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:45,969
I also told the Sheriff that
I was in fear for my life
654
00:30:46,135 --> 00:30:48,595
at the time I discharged, also true.
655
00:30:49,389 --> 00:30:52,559
The Sheriff then inferred that the knife
656
00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:56,229
was pushed to my throat at the very second
that I discharged.
657
00:30:56,855 --> 00:31:00,225
The next day when he particularized his
questions, we set the record straight.
658
00:31:00,775 --> 00:31:01,815
You never lied?
659
00:31:02,694 --> 00:31:04,534
I never lied.
660
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:06,356
I think you did.
661
00:31:06,823 --> 00:31:09,163
[chuckles] Well... Well, then it’s
settled. After all,
662
00:31:09,242 --> 00:31:11,582
we gathered here to learn what
the District Attorney thinks.
663
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:12,833
- [all laughing]
- [Judge] Okay, that’s enough.
664
00:31:12,829 --> 00:31:14,749
I completely object to that man.
665
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:16,753
Wambaugh, sit down.
666
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:19,835
Do you have anything else?
667
00:31:24,132 --> 00:31:26,552
Mr. Littleton, do you have any more
questions?
668
00:31:30,138 --> 00:31:30,968
No, I’m done.
669
00:31:35,768 --> 00:31:36,938
[in squeaky voice]
We’re dead in the water.
670
00:31:38,313 --> 00:31:40,693
- [indistinct conversations]
- [cash register dings]
671
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:42,860
Hello.
672
00:31:43,484 --> 00:31:46,204
Don’t call me a midget,
I’m a little person.
673
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,910
I want to be clear on that.
674
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,078
As far as my ears go, they’re big.
675
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,790
The biggest in this town.
676
00:31:53,870 --> 00:31:56,080
I know everything about everybody.
677
00:31:56,205 --> 00:31:59,825
And eventually, I’ll know most of what
there is to know about you.
678
00:32:00,418 --> 00:32:01,628
To save time,
679
00:32:02,045 --> 00:32:05,085
I’ve compiled an easy-to-fill-out
questionnaire.
680
00:32:06,257 --> 00:32:08,547
Please have it completed by Tuesday.
681
00:32:09,052 --> 00:32:09,972
[chuckles]
682
00:32:10,553 --> 00:32:12,513
Ma’am, I don’t even have a place
to live yet.
683
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:16,524
I-I haven’t unpacked one box
in my office,
684
00:32:16,684 --> 00:32:19,064
[stutters] I’ve never tried a murder case
before in my life,
685
00:32:19,062 --> 00:32:22,652
and I’m supposed to go after your
mayor with virtually no evidence.
686
00:32:23,066 --> 00:32:24,976
[chuckles] I’m a little unsettled
at the moment.
687
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:27,898
You think I could maybe get an extension
on this questionnaire?
688
00:32:28,237 --> 00:32:30,657
Well, it’s in your interest to complete
it now.
689
00:32:31,074 --> 00:32:32,954
You have no friends in Rome.
690
00:32:33,242 --> 00:32:35,952
People will look to me for an
early indication.
691
00:32:36,204 --> 00:32:38,754
I’d like to be able to say something nice.
692
00:32:39,791 --> 00:32:42,131
Wednesday. No later.
693
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,337
No guts, that’s his problem.
694
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:54,388
Hotshot district attorney, my ass.
695
00:32:54,389 --> 00:32:55,969
He’s a fraud! Potatoes.
696
00:32:58,017 --> 00:33:01,187
He doesn’t have a very good hand to play,
honey, I think he’s doing his best.
697
00:33:01,896 --> 00:33:04,186
Oh, that’s crap.
He’s phoning it in.
698
00:33:04,899 --> 00:33:06,779
Is Mayor Pugen a murderer?
699
00:33:08,945 --> 00:33:10,775
- Yes.
- Jimmy.
700
00:33:11,364 --> 00:33:13,324
That’s for the jury to decide, sweetie.
701
00:33:14,033 --> 00:33:16,793
The man is a murderer,
no matter what the jury says.
702
00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:19,408
You seem to be taking this
very personally.
703
00:33:20,289 --> 00:33:23,959
There’s nothing personal about it,
I’m just concerned about my client.
704
00:33:24,210 --> 00:33:26,550
You’ve had clients you cared much
more about.
705
00:33:26,879 --> 00:33:30,049
For you to be this agitated, you must be
worried about yourself.
706
00:33:30,216 --> 00:33:32,046
Just let me practice my closing!
707
00:33:34,220 --> 00:33:35,050
[sighs]
708
00:33:37,056 --> 00:33:37,926
Miriam...
709
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:39,980
Miriam...
710
00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:41,984
I...
711
00:33:43,396 --> 00:33:44,766
I took a real chance.
712
00:33:45,815 --> 00:33:49,485
I could’ve gone with insanity or
involuntary manslaughter,
713
00:33:49,902 --> 00:33:51,362
I could’ve chewed up Howard
714
00:33:51,446 --> 00:33:53,656
and Carter and played for
reasonable doubt,
715
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:55,988
I went with straight self-defense.
716
00:33:56,576 --> 00:33:57,406
It’s a risk.
717
00:33:58,828 --> 00:34:00,368
I hope I didn’t screw up.
718
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:03,919
And you need to feel you’ve done your
job well, and I think that if
719
00:34:04,333 --> 00:34:06,503
the jury ratifies Bill Pugen and his fear,
720
00:34:06,586 --> 00:34:09,626
then you’re gonna take that to mean
that the streets aren’t safe.
721
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:12,506
The streets of this town are as safe as
I can make them.
722
00:34:14,927 --> 00:34:16,257
I didn’t say they weren’t.
723
00:34:19,057 --> 00:34:21,427
[dramatic music playing]
724
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:24,057
Do you have any idea how...
725
00:34:26,522 --> 00:34:29,282
To know my wife is taking
shooting lessons,
726
00:34:29,275 --> 00:34:32,645
do you have any idea how that makes me
feel as a sheriff?
727
00:34:33,863 --> 00:34:36,573
- As a husband?
- But it’s not about you, Jimmy.
728
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:38,698
It’s about what’s happening out there.
729
00:34:41,662 --> 00:34:42,962
It is about me.
730
00:34:45,708 --> 00:34:49,248
And if women have to carry guns and people
cheer vigilantes,
731
00:34:49,337 --> 00:34:51,167
then Bill Pugen is right.
732
00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:53,838
And I’m wrong.
733
00:34:57,845 --> 00:34:58,925
I’m lost.
734
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:00,849
I’ll tell you, Jill, I...
735
00:35:01,891 --> 00:35:03,681
I’m completely lost.
736
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:10,815
[sighs]
737
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:18,833
- Involuntary manslaughter?
- I think it’s the best we can do.
738
00:35:18,825 --> 00:35:20,695
Four years? Three suspended?
739
00:35:21,202 --> 00:35:24,412
- This was practically premeditated.
- We’re losing, Sheriff.
740
00:35:24,497 --> 00:35:26,417
Now, this at least puts the man
behind bars.
741
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:29,169
No! I do not want to go to jail.
742
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:30,712
I cannot risk jail.
743
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:32,547
It would be one year only.
744
00:35:32,755 --> 00:35:35,675
If they convict on second-degree,
you’re looking at 12 minimum.
745
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,850
- You said we were winning!
- We are winning.
746
00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:42,007
They wouldn’t make us this deal
unless they knew that.
747
00:35:43,891 --> 00:35:45,351
You think I should tell ’em to stick it?
748
00:35:45,935 --> 00:35:48,725
As your lawyer, I bring you the offer.
749
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:52,070
But I’m obligated to tell you,
it is a risk.
750
00:35:52,358 --> 00:35:53,988
This jury could do anything.
751
00:35:54,110 --> 00:35:57,320
Your advice, your counsel,
that’s what I’m paying you for.
752
00:35:59,490 --> 00:36:00,780
Tell them to stick it.
753
00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:03,659
Don’t you dare speak to me like that.
754
00:36:03,661 --> 00:36:05,291
You offer a bogus plea--
755
00:36:05,288 --> 00:36:07,828
- In my professional judgment, that we--
- I was--
756
00:36:07,832 --> 00:36:10,042
I’m the District Attorney, it’s my call!
757
00:36:12,962 --> 00:36:14,092
[sighs]
758
00:36:14,797 --> 00:36:17,717
I told you from the start,
this was an impossible case.
759
00:36:17,717 --> 00:36:20,337
There was no upside to pursuing it,
there never was.
760
00:36:20,887 --> 00:36:24,517
At best, we win.
And a good man goes to jail.
761
00:36:24,807 --> 00:36:28,057
A town loses its mayor,
and carjackers feel safer.
762
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:29,983
Now, at worst, we lose.
763
00:36:30,271 --> 00:36:33,611
We waste tax dollars, and leave an entire
community demoralized
764
00:36:33,608 --> 00:36:35,358
to the point of civil disfunction.
765
00:36:35,902 --> 00:36:38,652
There was no point!
It was no-win!
766
00:36:39,322 --> 00:36:40,662
You still don’t get it.
767
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:43,780
- [door opens]
- Close that door.
768
00:36:44,744 --> 00:36:45,704
Now!
769
00:36:48,748 --> 00:36:51,628
The man committed a crime,
that’s the truth.
770
00:36:52,126 --> 00:36:56,376
It’s not your job to decide whether the
pursuit of that truth has an upside.
771
00:36:56,464 --> 00:36:58,764
- It is my job to--
- I’m talking now!
772
00:37:01,969 --> 00:37:05,259
I never excuse criminal behavior
out of expediency,
773
00:37:05,348 --> 00:37:08,178
and if you do, then you don’t get it.
774
00:37:09,435 --> 00:37:10,555
[knock at door]
775
00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:13,270
- Jimmy...
- What?
776
00:37:14,106 --> 00:37:16,646
Wambaugh just called, the plea bargain’s
been rejected.
777
00:37:20,571 --> 00:37:21,951
When you think of America...
778
00:37:23,366 --> 00:37:24,576
you think of guns.
779
00:37:25,409 --> 00:37:28,159
Ever since Paul Revere took his
midnight ride,
780
00:37:28,788 --> 00:37:30,538
America symbolized the land
781
00:37:30,915 --> 00:37:32,825
where the good guys took up arms
782
00:37:33,167 --> 00:37:35,337
and stave off the bad guys.
783
00:37:36,087 --> 00:37:38,507
Bill Pugen did just that.
784
00:37:39,465 --> 00:37:42,505
Bill Pugen... is an American.
785
00:37:43,427 --> 00:37:47,097
People throughout this country
have to live in fear.
786
00:37:47,848 --> 00:37:50,268
One out of every four families
787
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:54,363
will be robbed, raped, burglarized
or murdered.
788
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:59,111
Seventy-three percent of adult women
will be crime victims.
789
00:38:00,069 --> 00:38:02,069
That’s the other thing about America.
790
00:38:03,364 --> 00:38:05,784
We’re a nation of crime.
791
00:38:07,034 --> 00:38:11,464
When that carjacker put the knife under
Bill Pugen’s throat,
792
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,460
and he said to him that he’ll come
back to kill him,
793
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:18,049
and hurt his family, well, damn it!
794
00:38:19,672 --> 00:38:20,632
He got fed up.
795
00:38:21,173 --> 00:38:23,013
He wasn’t going to be a victim,
796
00:38:23,718 --> 00:38:24,968
so he saved his family.
797
00:38:25,261 --> 00:38:28,811
He did what every good husband
and father would be proud to do,
798
00:38:28,973 --> 00:38:30,643
and ladies and gentlemen...
799
00:38:31,851 --> 00:38:33,351
maybe he saved you.
800
00:38:34,228 --> 00:38:36,648
Maybe Bill Pugen stopped the knife
801
00:38:36,856 --> 00:38:38,936
from getting put under your throat.
802
00:38:40,818 --> 00:38:42,488
You’re glad he pulled the trigger.
803
00:38:43,654 --> 00:38:46,454
Admit that. Just like the people of Rome,
804
00:38:46,615 --> 00:38:48,865
that cheered right here in this very room,
805
00:38:49,785 --> 00:38:50,865
you’re glad.
806
00:38:52,371 --> 00:38:53,541
He’s our mayor.
807
00:38:54,498 --> 00:38:55,918
He’s one of us.
808
00:38:57,543 --> 00:38:59,963
So you go right back to that jury room...
809
00:39:01,589 --> 00:39:02,919
and you do what’s right.
810
00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:06,967
You follow your heart.
811
00:39:21,984 --> 00:39:23,824
[sighs, clears throat]
812
00:39:28,032 --> 00:39:30,162
Yes, he is the Mayor.
813
00:39:31,869 --> 00:39:35,409
Maybe a beloved member of this community,
maybe one of you,
814
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:37,424
I don’t really know.
815
00:39:39,001 --> 00:39:40,541
You see, the defense counsel is right,
816
00:39:40,836 --> 00:39:42,546
I don’t know you people.
817
00:39:43,422 --> 00:39:45,172
I’ve only been in town here for
a few days,
818
00:39:45,174 --> 00:39:48,094
I don’t really have any idea who the
people of Rome are.
819
00:39:49,011 --> 00:39:52,601
The only person I have any kind of feel
for at all is the Sheriff.
820
00:39:53,933 --> 00:39:55,773
So let me tell you what I know about him.
821
00:39:57,478 --> 00:40:00,938
He’s a man who doesn’t measure the
truth for its popularity,
822
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,320
he doesn’t consider integrity for its
pragmatic consequences,
823
00:40:07,446 --> 00:40:10,276
he practices honesty not because a good
might come out of it,
824
00:40:10,366 --> 00:40:12,946
but because honesty itself is a good.
825
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:15,911
And he knows that if an individual
826
00:40:16,205 --> 00:40:18,665
or a community ever abandons that principle...
827
00:40:20,709 --> 00:40:22,749
then we’d all be in big trouble,
wouldn’t we?
828
00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:27,380
Look, let’s... let’s just be honest here
for a second, people.
829
00:40:28,134 --> 00:40:31,974
There’s not a person in this room who
believes what Bill Pugen did was self-defense.
830
00:40:33,055 --> 00:40:34,465
It was vengeance.
831
00:40:35,891 --> 00:40:38,481
Now, was he legitimately afraid?
Of course.
832
00:40:39,728 --> 00:40:41,108
Is there a part of me
833
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,940
deep inside that’s glad he pulled
that trigger?
834
00:40:45,526 --> 00:40:46,436
Yes.
835
00:40:47,570 --> 00:40:48,990
If he said he just snapped,
836
00:40:49,488 --> 00:40:50,738
I’d say I understand.
837
00:40:51,824 --> 00:40:54,124
But he is not claiming that.
838
00:40:54,243 --> 00:40:58,793
He reflectively thought about the inadequacy
of our prison and judicial systems,
839
00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:03,166
and with a clear mind, he took the law
into his own hands.
840
00:41:04,587 --> 00:41:08,717
Now, whatever we feel in our hearts, in
our heads, we know that is criminal.
841
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:11,890
We all absolutely know it.
842
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:15,507
The question becomes,
"What are we gonna do about it?"
843
00:41:18,517 --> 00:41:19,807
Now, Mr. Wambaugh was right.
844
00:41:21,020 --> 00:41:22,020
I don’t know you people.
845
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:25,107
But right now, why don’t you tell me...
846
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:30,199
A society of guns like he says
where the good guys
847
00:41:30,196 --> 00:41:32,566
take up a little anarchy,
wipe out the bad guys,
848
00:41:32,573 --> 00:41:34,333
while juries pretend they don’t see?
849
00:41:36,118 --> 00:41:38,618
Or maybe, you’re more like him.
850
00:41:40,706 --> 00:41:41,786
People of honor.
851
00:41:43,918 --> 00:41:45,958
Of unflinching honor.
852
00:41:46,879 --> 00:41:49,469
Who know that no matter
how frightened we are,
853
00:41:49,465 --> 00:41:52,215
we cannot allow that fear to corrupt
our integrity.
854
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,050
As individuals or as a society.
855
00:41:58,015 --> 00:41:59,595
Ladies and gentlemen of Rome, Wisconsin,
856
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,730
I hope to God you are like that man.
857
00:42:10,444 --> 00:42:12,284
[all murmuring]
858
00:42:16,784 --> 00:42:17,664
[door opens]
859
00:42:19,119 --> 00:42:21,039
It was a gifted closing.
860
00:42:21,372 --> 00:42:25,002
Not too preachy, quietly effective.
861
00:42:25,918 --> 00:42:27,918
Uh, this is an official room.
862
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,050
I couldn’t tell whether the jury
was persuaded,
863
00:42:33,634 --> 00:42:35,434
but I could read the room.
864
00:42:36,345 --> 00:42:39,005
The people of Rome accept you.
865
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,140
Uh... [chuckles] I appreciate that,
866
00:42:42,226 --> 00:42:44,396
but I’m a little nervous right now,
867
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:46,475
do you think I can have a minute
by myself?
868
00:42:47,147 --> 00:42:50,897
Certainly. Maybe later, I could snuggle
you in my bosom.
869
00:42:53,195 --> 00:42:54,655
I find you attractive.
870
00:42:56,865 --> 00:42:59,695
[stammers, chuckles] I appreciate that,
871
00:42:59,868 --> 00:43:00,828
but, um...
872
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:03,119
