Original subtitles

- Okay, final episode. Put your bets on the table.

Who did the crime,

and who will do the time?

- Oh, it's the husband, obviously.

- The best friend.

CASEY: I think it was the grandson.

- Ooh, that's dark.

- Well, murders usually are.

- I like this darkness on you.

- See? You think you know me.

- Liam, what are you doing?

Eagle wants you to watch with us.

- I'm texting with PJ,

asking her a question about a potential case.

ELI: Does it involve a man who broke up with his girlfriend,

then sued her for his acne breakout?

- Or is it the one where the woman's cat

accidentally called her and that's how she found out

her husband was cheating?

- Ah, no, the cat solved that one.

- Guys, this is a real, live murder.

- That's an oxymoron.

- It's a potential wrongful conviction

involving a dead body frozen in the forest.

Since you're not interested...

[All talking excitedly]

- Just spill it, spill it! - Tell.

- Okay. Alright.

Look, I got a call today

from an old client of mine asking for help.

His name is Dave Warner.

His wife, Sharon, was just convicted yesterday

for the murder of a woman named Katherine Harris.

Now, this was three months ago.

- And this happened in Philly?

- Uh, Schuylkill County. It's about 90 minutes from here.

Now, Dave believes that Sharon is innocent.

This is what I know so far...

♪

LIAM : A woman was on an early morning hunt

when her dog discovered the body of Katherine Harris.

[dog sniffing]

LIAM: Detectives believe that Katherine was killed

inside her own cabin and then dragged and buried nearby.

♪

- Were the CSIs able to extract

any physical evidence off the body?

- I don't have access to any of that information yet.

That's why I was texting PJ, to see if she could

get her hands on the discovery.

- Can you even get evidence off a frozen body?

SARAH: It's easier, actually.

Snow insulates the body,

delays the process of decomposition,

which is what breaks down DNA.

A dead body that's frozen can be tested for DNA a lot longer,

which is good news for Dave Warner and his wife...

if Sharon is actually innocent.

♪

LIAM: The deceased woman Katherine was really well-known

in her community, and she was also the former president

of the school's Parent-School Coalition.

SARAH: It's called the PSC. And that's not just any PSC.

Penn Park has the most powerful school organization

in the state. They raise big bucks.

- What makes Dave think that his wife didn't do this?

- Well, first off, Eli, it's his wife.

Dave said that Sharon was really, really committed

to their kid and that she'd never do anything

to separate them.

Apparently, their daughter, Lily,

will barely come out of her room.

- How did they point the finger at her in the first place?

- Dave had mentioned that their daughter, Lily,

had an ongoing conflict with the victim's daughter

and, you know, they're both 15.

- Oof! Teenage drama.

- Double oof. Potential mother's revenge.

- Now, this is assuming that both Katherine

and Sharon's kids go to Penn Park?

- Oh, yeah.

- So, that means that if Sharon is innocent,

and we do nothing,

that family is about to be destroyed.

I say we start by talking to Sharon.

- Liam and I will talk to Dave.

- Sounds good. And if we think she's innocent,

we go from there.

♪

- Mm!

Hey, did I wake you?

- Not at all. I just, uh, couldn't sleep.

- I'm sorry. What time did you get in?

- Uh, about 3:00 am.

And one of the guys was sick so I stayed longer to stock.

- Ah.

- But I got the bananas you needed.

- I saw. Thank you so much.

I made you breakfast. You can eat it up whenever.

- You know you don't have to make me breakfast every morning.

- I know, but I like to.

Look, I'm not telling you what to do, but...

you should sleep more, okay?

Love you!

- Love you too.

♪

- We know laws were created to ensure a just society,

but one such law with equality at its core

was called the Law of Retaliation,

otherwise known as...

Eli?

- Hm? Uh... [clears throat]

Sorry, what was the question?

- Law of Retaliation, otherwise known as...?

- Lex talionis .

PROFESSOR: Lex talionis .

Also known as...

Sarah?

- An eye for an eye.

- An eye... for an eye...

makes the whole world blind.

Or two people who just don't see very well.

- [laughs]

- Please provide its original intent and an example, Casey.

- To punish someone with the exact same injuries

and damages they inflicted on their victim.

So someone cuts my eye out, I cut their eye out.

- Which literally used to happen, but as a society,

what we deem to be just, it ebbs and flows, right?

When we know better, we do better.

Or... do we?

- Not always. - Why?

- Because our systems and institutions

are made up of humans,

and humans are inherently flawed.

- That's right. Alright, that's class.

Thank you so much. We'll pick up here next week.

- Professor Ambrose? - Yes?

- Can I talk to you about something?

- You sure can. Walk with me. - Thank you.

- So, in terms of an eye for an eye...

- Mm-hm? - When does it become criminal?

- I'm assuming this is not a hypothetical.

- No. Uh, Liam brought us another case.

- Okay.

- It started with one teenager bullying the other;

then the mother of the bullied teen got involved,

and ultimately she was convicted of first-degree murder.

- Ugh! - Yeah.

- Hey! - QUINN: Hey.

- I thought I was meeting you in the dining hall.

- You are. I thought I'd walk you over.

- Aw, that's so nice!

Um, Casey was just telling me about...

- Uh, yeah, about, um, how PJ is doing.

Which is... great. Yeah.

Uh, thank you, by the way, for writing

that letter of recommendation for her.

- I'm glad I could help.

DC Court of Appeals is a big deal.

- It is a big deal.

- How's your brother doing?

- Marcus is...

he's okay.

He's living with us.

He's working at the Acme grocery store.

- I haven't caught you sneaking around

trying to extract evidence lately.

I'm assuming your sleuthing days are over.

Or not?

- We're not even sure if there's anything there yet.

- Wrongful conviction?

- Yes. I didn't say anything. I didn't want to upset you.

- Hey, what upset me was you putting yourself

in harm's way, not trying to make sure

justice was served, okay?

What's the case?

- Like I said, we're not even sure if it's something

we want to jump into yet so, um...

I gotta go to the library, uh, and get...

- Library's the other way. - It's this way.

CASEY: Yeah, it's not this library!

Oh, goodness gracious. Yeah.

- Why do they get so weird around me?

I mean...

I've got, like, a cool energy, right?

Right?

- You know, you have attorney-client privilege

and I have professor-student privilege.

- Hey...

Whose side are you on, mine or theirs?

- [laughs] Yours!

Always yours. Mm!

PJ: [video call] Okay, see, it's tricky,

because this all went down in Schuylkill County,

which is a completely different district.

- Don't you just put the docket number in to the portal?

PJ: Normally, yes,

but Schuylkill County's not releasing the discovery.

And unfortunately, my contact at the courthouse

doesn't know why.

Yet.

However, check your inboxes.

I sent over everything I could find online

about the case, okay?

- Thanks, PJ! - No problem.

Uh, actually, I gotta go, so I'll FaceTime you later, okay?

- Okay, okay. - Alright, thanks.

- Bye! - Bye.

- So, Katherine and Sharon were both Philly residents,

but Katherine also had a cabin in the Schuylkill Mountains,

not far from where her body was found.

- Right.

- My GPS pronounced it "Shooey-kill."

- "Skoogull." - "Skoogull."

- Okay!

- Um, okay, this lines up with everything Liam said.

- Is that the discovery?

- Uh, there was a hiccup, but PJ's on it.

She sent us everything she could find.

- Wow, look at all this. Well done, PJ!

- Looks like the transcripts from some of the PSC members

who testified at Sharon's trial.

Here's one from Cherelle Anderson,

single working mom,

sat on the PSC board.

"Sharon and Katherine fought all the time

"but still, I never thought it would end like this.

"I think I'm just in shock.

"I can't believe this happened in our community."

- Uh, here's an article from Penn Park's scholarship program

highlighting Cherelle's daughter, Mia.

CASEY: Oh, wow, she got the Governor's Award

for Performing Arts. That's a big deal.

SARAH: Uh-huh.

- Okay, here's another one from PSC member Tarik Petroysan.

"Police found drugs in her car.

"Apparently, she was heavily medicated.

"It's just unfortunate for the kids;

"they're all going to need therapy."

We should start with him. Seems like he has a lot to say.

- Seems like he's spending that same energy on his son

and the football program.

Most active dad on the PSC board.

- And one more from PSC member Kimber Randolph.

Listen to this.

"Sharon was definitely on drugs and everyone knew it.

"She was an unhinged parent.

"Katherine was just trying to provide her kids

"with the best education possible.

"She was an advocate for Penn Park.

"In my opinion, justice was served."

- Well, she sounds fun.

- I mean, they did find a bottle of lorazepam in Sharon's car.

- Kimber's all over the press claiming to be

Katherine's best friend and demanding justice.

She really didn't like Sharon Warner.

Why?

- There's only one way to find out.

CASEY: Hi, there. I'm here to see Sharon Warner.

[prison door buzzing]

- Thank you so much for speaking with me, Sharon.

So, I'm just trying to understand here...

why was Kimber speaking about you like this

in the press?

- Because she and Katherine

didn't like that I exposed the truth.

That the PSC board is nothing more

than a bunch of high school bullies.

- I see.

And did you ever speak with Katherine about this?

Maybe even the night that she was murdered?

- Look...

I did go for a drive that night.

But it was in the opposite direction of Katherine's cabin.

My husband Dave and I got into a fight,

and I just needed to clear my head.

- Trust me, that I understand.

And this is not an accusation in any way.

We're just trying to understand why the parents

made some of these claims about you.

- You mean about using drugs?

- That would be one of them.

- It's ridiculous.

I don't use prescription medication.

I've barely even taken a drink since Lily was born.

- I'm really sorry about the... the mess.

Sharon would be mortified!

- Don't worry about it. No need for apologies.

But we do have to ask...

who do you think had it in them to frame your wife

for Katherine's murder?

- I... I don't know.

Sharon had a lot of enemies at Penn Park

and Katherine had a lot of power.

Sharon was out of her mind

with what Lily was going through at school.

I suggested she go on something, you know, take the edge off.

Her doctor tried, but she refused.

That's why I think that someone put those meds in her car.

- Our first few weeks at Penn Park,

they were great.

Lily has really bad asthma,

and she was constantly bullied about it at her old school.

Making friends was not easy.

But...

that all changed at Penn Park.

When she met Mia.

- Cherelle's daughter.

- Yeah.

Lily was over the moon.

But then the bullying started again.

- By who?

- Katherine's daughter, Harlow.

She even forced Mia to stop talking to Lily.

- That's horrible.

- When I reached out to Katherine and Cherelle to talk about it,

that's when I found out

that their daughters were best friends.

- Ah.

Harlow wanted her bestie back.

- I told Lily to walk away.

To tell the principal. And she did.

And it backfired.

Lily had her worst asthma attack yet,

triggered by Harlow's bullying.

- I'm so sorry, Sharon.

- And the worst part is, everyone looked the other way,

even though the school has a zero-tolerance policy

against bullying.

- Why would they do that?

- Because Katherine wasn't just the president of the PSC.

Her and her husband, Austin,

were also big donors to the school.

- It always comes down to money, doesn't it?

- Well, they left me no choice but to go public.

So, at the next PSC meeting, I joined.

I exposed the bullying and demanded change.

And if change didn't happen,

not only was I coming for

Katherine's position as president,

I was coming for her legally.

- I'm sorry, you were going to sue Katherine?

- For emotional distress. Absolutely.

I know how this looks.

And trust me, Katherine was not a nice person,

but she didn't deserve to be killed.

And I just don't know who could do something like this.

- Sharon, I know this seems impossible right now,

but that is exactly what we aim to figure out.

- Despite our differences with our kids,

I just keep thinking about her poor family.

- I hate to do this to you, Dave, but...

could you tell us where you were the night of Katherine's murder?

- I was with my attorney here in Philly.

I told this to the cops. I was...

I was filing for divorce.

I didn't tell Sharon, but then we...

heard about Katherine, and...

a week later, Sharon was arrested.

- How did Dave react to all of this?

SHARON: He wasn't happy about it either.

But he wanted me to drop it.

- But, like any good mother,

you refused.

- It caused a lot of tension between us.

These past few months have been really rough on Dave.

And Lily.

- It's gotta be hard navigating these

life and death situations with a child.

I can only imagine it either brings you even closer together

or tears you apart entirely.

- Our marriage had been in a bad place for a long time.

But I wanted it to work.

I still do.

- I think that's wonderful.

- I regret how I went about things.

But I promise you that the only thing that I am guilty of

is putting my family first.

And now...

now all I do is worry if they'll be okay without me.

- You asked who might have it in them to kill Katherine

and frame Sharon...

- If I were you,

I would start with every single member of that PSC board.

♪

- How many board members does it take to off a president?

- Hey. Is this the, uh...

SARAH: Murder board? Yes, it is.

I printed all the pictures you asked for,

all 10 PSC members,

including the three that testified at Sharon's trial.

Also, called every pharmacy in town--

no record of Sharon Warner ever having a prescription

to lorazepam.

- Well that's good to know, 'cause after talking to Sharon,

I think we should take this case.

- Us too.

- Great. Glad we're on the same page.

The last thing Sharon said is that we should look into

all the members of the PSC.

ELI: Yeah, Dave said the same thing,

and apparently Katherine Harris isn't who she claimed to be.

- Are we sure we want to swim in this pond of piranhas?

- Well, think about it: if Sharon was framed,

then that means Katherine's killer is still out there.

- Liam and I confirmed Dave's alibi.

- He was with his attorney, filing for divorce.

Sharon didn't know.

- She still doesn't.

- Dave and Lily need our help.

- Well, two of us here know what it's like

to grow up without a parent.

Piranhas or not...

this family deserves justice.

- I agree.

- I'm in.

- Okay, team.

We are going back to high school.

- I think we're gonna need a bigger board.

♪

- How far would one of these parents go to protect their kid?

- Or their status? - Yeah.

Well, we have a board full of suspects.

We just need a plan to figure out how to get to them.

- Did, uh, somebody say they needed a plan?

- Not one that involves wearing that.

- Ah? - No.

- Come on! - Mm-mm!

Besides, you're not gonna be the one wearing it.

- So you have approximately 48 hours

to work on your characters, alright?

- Alright, fine. But while we wait for PJ

to get the discovery from Sharon's trial,

I wouldn't mind getting eyes on Katherine's cabin.

- I'll come with you.

- Ooh, a man livin' on the edge!

What's next, turning all the clocks forward 27 minutes?

but I have been known to be very naughty

when I want to.

- Right.

I can't imagine Sharon carrying Katherine's body this far.

- Careful there. - What?

No, I'm not saying it has to be a man, I'm just...

saying she's petite.

We need to keep our options open.

- Which means more than one person maybe carried her body?

- Which could mean more than one person was there

when she was murdered.

- Hmm.

Can I... ask you something?

Not about the case, just, um...

you know, you're a guy, right?

And, uh, Marcus is a guy.

- Yeah. Things that are true.

- No, I'm just, um...

I know Marcus needs to get his own footing.

I'm just... having trouble letting go.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, are you asking me for advice

in your personal life?

- Yeah, and if you gloat about it,

I'm never gonna ask you again.

- You're right.

You know...

I'll never understand

what you and Marcus have gone through, but...

I did go through a similar situation with my older sister

because neither of our parents parented...

so Olivia was both the sister and the mother.

- You never talk about your sister.

- Well, it's been complicated since the fallout with my dad...

who she works for.

- Ah, okay.

So she's the golden child that stayed

and you're the bad boy who didn't.

[chuckles]

- Look, all I'm saying is...

once I got some distance from my family

and got my own footing,

I was able to stand as my own person,

so maybe Marcus needs to talk to someone

who isn't his sister or his mom.

- Yeah.

- I could...

talk to him.

- You know, maybe I should give him more time first.

See if I can find the right moment.

- Totally.

PJ: [video call] The lines on Sharon's case were, like,

PJ: Oh, yeah.

He is definitely one to track.

[quietly] Uh, I shouldn't be telling you this,

but my contact at the Schuylkill County Court

told me that Austin Harris was BFFs with the DA.

Yeah, and he wanted the case closed, like, yesterday.

Which now explains why we never got this discovery.

- Also explains why they never questioned the husband.

- Not only was evidence not admitted,

and therefore not tested, and testimonies redacted,

but the DA and Austin Harris made sure that only one person

was considered as a suspect...

Sharon Warner.

- Hmm.

He's in tight with the victim's husband, Austin Harris.

Best friends since high school.

Do you have evidence?

CASEY: Nothing concrete yet,

Corners were cut.

However, in small towns, everyone knows everyone,

The death of Katherine Harris.

From what we heard,

it escalated from bullying at the school.

- Oh!

On the day Katherine was murdered,

Sharon called her four times.

And when she didn't hear back, she sent a text:

"This ends tonight."

♪

SARAH: The discovery revealed Katherine had puncture wounds

on her back.

- Yeah. And, uh, just saying

that none of the wounds in the photos

look like anything in the watermelons.

- Correct.

- Yeah, which means none of these were the kind of weapon

used to kill her.

- Which is exactly what the discovery said,

"Murder weapon unknown."

- And even though evidence can survive on fabrics

for months, they didn't test Katherine's clothing.

- Well, they didn't even test anything in the cabin,

just the items that were found on Sharon,

which is her jacket,

the hairs that were on the jacket--

which turned out to be Katherine's--

and the note that was in her pocket

which had the address of Katherine's cabin on it.

That's all they needed to put Sharon away.

- And Austin Harris really wanted this case closed quickly.

- Liam, how are you doing on Sharon's alibi?

- Good. Sharon said that she was on a drive that day,

so I'm gonna drive the route myself.

I just need a red light camera, a photo of Sharon

at any of the stops, just to prove that she was elsewhere

at the time of murder.

- I got the work address for Austin Harris,

so I'm gonna give his office a visit.

was Coach Higgins meeting with Principal Adams again?

- Fantasy football draft starts at 5:00.

Mr. Higgins, hi, I'm Cassandra Julian

from the County Defense Office.

Uh, would you be willing to answer a few questions

about Sharon Warner?

- I've already said everything I needed to say,

and that case is closed.

- Well, we believe Sharon Warner to be innocent,

and we have some potential evidence

that might actually reopen her case.

- Like I said, I've given my statement.

- Well, that's just the thing.

You see, the prosecution actually redacted

most of your statement.

Threw it out on the basis of bias.

- Bias? Bias to who?

- Well, uh...

that is exactly what I am tryin' to figure out,

Mr. Higgins.

Please...

we owe it to her and to Lily to make this right.

Of course.

- So, Austin Harris' assistant, Cindy,

confirmed that he lied about his alibi.

She just willingly gave you that info?

LIAM: Wow.

SARAH: Ew! CASEY: Yeah.

Well, we know that Kimber publicly supported Katherine

after her murder...

- Yeah.

- But Coach Higgins was saying that before her murder,

Kimber, Cherelle, and Tarik were trying to take her down.

SARAH: So, why the about-face from Kimber?

Seems like the answer to their problems

was the removal of one person:

Katherine Harris.

- An eye for an eye.

- Still doesn't explain why Austin Harris wanted

the case closed up so quickly.

Oh, guys, here they come.

- Hi. - Hi. Come on in.

This is Cecilia Sanz, Sharon's defence attorney.

Cecilia, this is...

a special group of people

who focus on exonerating the wrongfully convicted,

and they have reason to believe

that Sharon Warner was one of them.

CECILIA: Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

I mean, I believe she is too,

but it did not go our way.

The Schuylkill DA was not interested in justice.

- What if we told you we had proof of Sharon's innocence?

Would you fight to reopen the case?

- [sighs] Depends.

What do you consider proof?

Check that out.

Uh, so this is a picture of Sharon Warner in her car

driving, hours away from the crime scene, right?

This is at 7:34 pm, same TOD as Katherine's murder.

- Oh!

- And we have at least four viable suspects,

all with strong motives.

- And I am looking for a way to get closer to those suspects.

[Casey clears throat]

- Legally. Legally, of course.

CASEY: We can continue on with this

if you don't want to be involved,

but it would certainly be a lot easier with your help.

- And you will have the full support of my office.

- I'm gonna file a PCRA petition.

- What's a PCRA?

- Post-Conviction Relief Act.

- It allows me to legally challenge Sharon's conviction

And I'm gonna need you to make a call

and expedite this sucker.

You hear me?

- You can send me everything you have.

And, uh, everything you can on those four suspects.

Alright, bye.

ELI: I'm good. CASEY: Thanks, Liam.

Cecilia's gonna have to mount a new defence quickly.

What's interesting here is the PSC Three were not friends,

but publicly they all supported Katherine.

Privately, they were each trying to take her down.

I feel like these testimonies had to be coordinated.

They're all virtually identical.

- They were covering their tracks?

- Or someone coerced them into pointing the finger at Sharon.

- But who?

ELI & CASEY: Austin Harris!

SARAH: [gasps] Maybe that's why DA Pearl

redacted Higgins' testimony,

because it pointed the finger at more suspects

other than Sharon Warner.

- Yeah, I don't see Higgins being coerced into doing anything.

- No.

- You'd think that Harris would want the right person

behind bars for killing his wife.

SARAH: Okay, so I got a viable DNA sample from the antlers.

If it matches what we got from Katherine's clothes,

then I can finally develop a profile

and have forensic proof

that the antlers were the cause of death.

That said...

from the angle the antlers punctured Katherine's body...

I don't think she died instantly.

- So whoever did this let her bleed out?

- Possibly.

- Okay, if I'm not mistaken,

the height of the antlers on the wall

is about the same height as Katherine's wounds

would have been if she was standing up.

- Yes.

- What if she was pushed into the antlers

and not stabbed?

- Oh!

Oh, that's good. Okay.

Okay! The killer...

- Yeah. - ...comes to confront Katherine.

Katherine-- a fight ensues.

- Mm-hm? - Katherine...

Katherine grabs the iron,

hits the killer over the head with it!

- Okay, okay, why the head?

- Because there's hair on it! I can't believe I missed this.

Oh my gosh, if I'm right,

Okay, uh, can you call Schuylkill County ER?

All of you are right to not trust Kimber Randolph.

- Okay, you need to leave. Now!

ELI: As you can see, Katherine Harris was embezzling

your school's funds into her own personal account.

The same funds you worked so hard

to secure for your children

were used to save Katherine and Austin Harris from bankruptcy.

- But Katherine's plan started to fail

when Cherelle found the fraudulent transfers.

Great work, by the way.

You were telling the truth, and Katherine knew that,

so she tried to have you silenced

by removing you as treasurer.

- She tried to silence Sharon, but Sharon wouldn't be silenced,

because her feud was about something more important

than money...

her child.

- No, but someone else made sure Sharon took the fall

for a crime that she didn't commit.

- Look familiar?

- I've never seen that before in my life.

- Please, allow me to set the stage.

It is Saturday and Katherine's at her cabin.

There's a knock at the door.

Because of her past misdeeds, Kimber, Cherelle, and Tarik

were all plotting to have Katherine removed

as PSC president.

But what they didn't know is it was actually Kenneth

who went to the cabin to confront her.

That's right-- Kimber's husband.

KATHERINE: Kenneth, what are you doing here?

- You've been stealing money from the PSC

to fund a life you can't afford!

- That's preposterous.

- I have all the evidence, Katherine!

- Who do you think the people are gonna believe, hmm?

A mom who's dedicated her life to this school

or a parent who's jealous because their kid

couldn't make the cut?

- Kimber doesn't know I'm here, but she's had it with you.

So I'm offering you a quiet way out.

Remove yourself as president and leave Penn Park!

- [laughs]

- Or go to prison for embezzlement!

Your choice.

- You need to leave. Now! Get out of here!

- Fine. - Go!

SHARON: That's the oven. I'll be right back.

- That's when you planted the note

containing the address for Katherine's cabin...

along with her hair.

- But that wasn't enough.

You had to paint the picture of an unhinged mother

who would stop at nothing to protect her child,

so you put your lorazepam in the doctor prescription bottle.

- But you put that bottle in her car

and then informed the police that she was abusing drugs.

- And then you sat back and watched as Sharon was arrested,

charged, and convicted of the murder of Katherine Harris.

- Originally, we thought it was the three of you,

but then we realized it was just you.

- This is all wildly imaginative!

Ha! I mean, truly.

Besides, you don't have any proof.

- Actually...

- Exhibit A, your invoice for the prescription labels.

Exhibit B, the lorazepam in your medicine cabinet,

which was found in Sharon's car.

CASEY: There is no record of Sharon Warner

having any prescription for lorazepam.

But there is a record of your husband in the ER

the night of Katherine's murder.

His diagnosis? Concussion.

[loud thud]

SARAH: We did find his DNA on Katherine's iron...

and on her clothes.

- And when the case was re-opened, you got nervous.

So you and Kenneth went back to the cabin

to dispose of the antlers,

but that time you forgot your gloves.

- Your phone records also confirmed that your husband

called you from Katherine's cabin

on the day of the murder.

- And we had someone look into the Harris' financials.

- If he had called 911,

Katherine's life could have been saved.

- But our life would have been destroyed!

Katherine attacked him!

It was an accident!

She would have made sure Kenneth

spent the rest of his life in prison!

Where's the justice in that?

He thought he was doing the right thing.

Shouldn't Katherine pay for what she did?

Shouldn't she?!

- Not every wrong has a remedy.
