because your other hand

Before this accusation,
this exemplary young man

80
00:03:17,545 --> 00:03:19,024
Ian Hunter,
had already been accepted

81
00:03:19,068 --> 00:03:22,332
to Vanderbilt Law School,
but you, Ms. Palma,

82
00:03:22,376 --> 00:03:25,335
disrespected your scholarship
to Tompkins Square University

83

by binge drinking at a party.

84

Then, after asking Mr. Hunter
for a ride home

85
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:32,951
and willingly entering
his house,

86
00:03:32,995 --> 00:03:35,519
you waited two months to decide
you'd been raped.

87
00:03:35,563 --> 00:03:37,347
I have no way of knowing

88

what actually happened
that night,

89
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:41,656

that I can't let this court

90
00:03:41,699 --> 00:03:44,441
cavalierly destroy
Mr. Hunter's future.

91
00:03:44,485 --> 00:03:48,271
I've heard the evidence
presented by the prosecution,

92
00:03:48,315 --> 00:03:50,665
and I find it
legally insufficient

93
00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:53,624
to establish
the offense charge therein,

94
00:03:53,668 --> 00:03:56,497
therefore I am granting
the defense motion

95
00:03:56,540 --> 00:03:58,803

00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:20,962
- The past.
We're looking at a judge.

161
00:07:21,005 --> 00:07:22,964
Charles Gallagher,
you two were undergrads

162
00:07:23,007 --> 00:07:24,661
at Hudson U together.
You remember him?

163
00:07:24,705 --> 00:07:28,752
- Chip Gallagher.
I wish I could un-remember him.

164
00:07:28,796 --> 00:07:30,319
I worked in the frat kitchen.

165
00:07:30,362 --> 00:07:33,235
He never bussed a tray once,
and now he's running for AG.

166
00:07:33,278 --> 00:07:35,237
- Yeah, and to kickstart
his campaign,

167
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,110
he threw out a solid rape case.
- In Suffolk, I heard.

168
00:07:39,154 --> 00:07:40,808
- And it turns out
the defendant's uncle

169
00:07:40,851 --> 00:07:43,158
was Tom Burns,
another Hudson U alum.

170
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:44,159
- I know him too.

171
00:07:44,202 --> 00:07:45,813
Those two were
thick as thieves.

172
00:07:45,856 --> 00:07:47,641
- So Burns donated
to his campaign.

173
00:07:47,684 --> 00:07:49,817
If we could prove
that it was a bribe...

174
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:53,516
- Tough case to make,
but I wouldn't be surprised.

175
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,518
They've been covering up
for each other for years.

176
00:07:55,562 --> 00:07:58,608
- Covering up what?

177
00:07:58,652 --> 00:08:01,916
- I've probably
already said too much.

178
00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:04,353
- Counselor...

179
00:08:04,396 --> 00:08:08,009
if there's a reason
that Gallagher shouldn't be AG,

180
00:08:08,052 --> 00:08:10,838
we need to get that out there.

181
00:08:10,881 --> 00:08:14,145
- It was a long time ago--
early '90s.

182
00:08:14,189 --> 00:08:18,889
Sweet, brilliant girl who was
so brutalized by Gallagher,

183
00:08:18,933 --> 00:08:22,284
she dropped out of Hudson.

184
00:08:22,327 --> 00:08:24,547
It's haunted me
because I didn't help her.

185
00:08:24,591 --> 00:08:26,854
- So you're saying
that he raped her.

186
00:08:26,897 --> 00:08:27,855
- She told me he raped her

187
00:08:27,898 --> 00:08:29,552
while Tommy Burns
held her down.

188
00:08:29,596 --> 00:08:31,554
- Did she report this?

189
00:08:31,598 --> 00:08:34,209
- She did, but those days,
it got buried.

190
00:08:34,252 --> 00:08:36,864
Gallagher went on
to Harvard Law,

191
00:08:36,907 --> 00:08:38,953
became a judge.
- And the victim?

192
00:08:40,650 --> 00:08:42,391
- Not a week has gone
without my thinking

193
00:08:42,434 --> 00:08:44,611
about what Chip did to her.

194
00:08:44,654 --> 00:08:47,396
<i>♪</i>

195
00:08:47,439 --> 00:08:52,053
- Nobody cared back then,
not even Isaiah Holmes.

196
00:08:52,096 --> 00:08:54,708
I don't blame him.
We were on scholarship.

197
00:08:54,751 --> 00:08:56,231
No match for that crowd.

198
00:08:56,274 --> 00:08:58,973
- Can you tell us
about Gallagher?

199
00:08:59,016 --> 00:09:03,368
- He invited me,
April from Sunset Park,

200
00:09:03,412 --> 00:09:05,414
to a frat party

201
00:09:05,457 --> 00:09:09,636
like he was interested in me,
but it was a setup.

202
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,684
- He assaulted you.
- One glass of punch.

203
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:18,035
Then I woke up with Gallagher
on top of me,

204
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:21,082
his wingman
Tommy Burns laughing,

205
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:22,823
holding me down.

206
00:09:22,866 --> 00:09:24,346
- What happened
when you reported it?

207
00:09:24,389 --> 00:09:29,090
- Campus cops interviewed me,
Chip, his frat brothers.

208
00:09:29,133 --> 00:09:32,093
Then they basically told me I
shouldn't let one drunken night

209
00:09:32,136 --> 00:09:34,617
define my college experience.

210
00:09:34,661 --> 00:09:38,447
- Did you ever go to NYPD?
- No.

211
00:09:38,490 --> 00:09:41,755
Those guys control
the narrative.

212
00:09:41,798 --> 00:09:45,236
I realized I was never
gonna make it in their world.

213
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,282
Never even made it
to law school.

214
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:49,023
- Ms. Kelly, look,

215
00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:52,417
your case is past
the statute of limitations,

216
00:09:52,461 --> 00:09:54,898
but often when one person
comes forward--

217
00:09:54,942 --> 00:09:56,073
- Not me.

218
00:09:56,117 --> 00:09:58,685
I tried to fight Gallagher
30 years ago.

219
00:09:58,728 --> 00:10:01,688
Lost.

220
00:10:01,731 --> 00:10:03,733
And he's running for AG now?

221
00:10:03,777 --> 00:10:05,474
If I go up against him,

222
00:10:05,517 --> 00:10:08,825
his old boy network
will destroy me.

223
00:10:11,349 --> 00:10:13,395
I have to go back to work.

224
00:10:13,438 --> 00:10:15,136
- So that's it?

225
00:10:15,179 --> 00:10:16,964
- Well, if she reported it
to Hudson,

226
00:10:17,007 --> 00:10:18,400
there might be a record.

227
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:19,749
- Yeah, but didn't you
used to know the president?

228
00:10:19,793 --> 00:10:22,099
- Well, there's been
a revolving door lately,

229
00:10:22,143 --> 00:10:24,058
but Gallagher teaches there.

230
00:10:24,101 --> 00:10:26,364
I should give the new president
the courtesy of a heads-up.

231
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:32,283
- We're lucky to have a judge
of Gallagher's stature

232
00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:34,111
teaching
constitutional law here.

233
00:10:34,155 --> 00:10:35,939
We think the world of him.

234
00:10:38,986 --> 00:10:41,205
- Well, it doesn't seem
like your students agree.

235
00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:43,294
- I can't say I entirely
disagree with them.

236
00:10:43,338 --> 00:10:46,036
The ruling in the Suffolk case
was upsetting.

237
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,690
Frankly, I wish
the Manhattan DA

238
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,257
had prosecuted the case.

239
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,215
- That was a decision
beyond my pay grade.

240
00:10:51,259 --> 00:10:53,522
- I imagine
there's a lot of those.

241
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:56,351
Anyway, if you're vetting him
for his AG run,

242
00:10:56,394 --> 00:10:59,180
I can assure you
there have been no complaints

243
00:10:59,223 --> 00:11:01,356
about him here.
- As a professor.

244
00:11:01,399 --> 00:11:04,402
And I realize this is
before your time here,

245
00:11:04,446 --> 00:11:06,013
but do you know anything

246
00:11:06,056 --> 00:11:09,016
about his record
as an undergrad?

247
00:11:09,059 --> 00:11:12,454
- You're fishing for something.
You want to give me a hint?

248
00:11:14,891 --> 00:11:17,807
- There may have been
a sexual misconduct claim

249
00:11:17,851 --> 00:11:20,244
filed against him
when he was at Tau Omega.

250
00:11:20,288 --> 00:11:21,724
- This would have been
in the '90s.

251
00:11:21,768 --> 00:11:24,118
- Yes.
- I'll look into it.

252
00:11:24,161 --> 00:11:25,510
- Thank you.

253
00:11:25,554 --> 00:11:27,077
- But I doubt
we'll find anything,

254
00:11:27,121 --> 00:11:29,036
given his character
and, frankly,

255
00:11:29,079 --> 00:11:30,341
the way complaints
were handled back then--

256
00:11:30,385 --> 00:11:34,215
- I would appreciate any help.
- Of course.

257
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:40,047
- You get anything, captain?

258
00:11:40,090 --> 00:11:41,918
- Well, President DuBois agreed

259
00:11:41,962 --> 00:11:44,355
to look into April's
accusations against the judge.

260
00:11:44,399 --> 00:11:45,879
- And you believe her?
- I don't know.

261
00:11:45,922 --> 00:11:47,271
I mean, she said
all the right things,

262
00:11:47,315 --> 00:11:49,534
but that's why they hired her.

263
00:11:49,578 --> 00:11:50,927
- Ask Carisi for a warrant.

264
00:11:50,971 --> 00:11:53,843
- I think that'll raise
a red flag.

265
00:11:55,802 --> 00:11:58,282
- There might be a better way.

266
00:11:58,326 --> 00:12:01,416
- Working campus police,
I got more bennies

267
00:12:01,459 --> 00:12:03,070
than even you guys.

268
00:12:03,113 --> 00:12:05,028
Three kids, free tuition.

269
00:12:05,072 --> 00:12:08,118
My third's a senior,
protesting that judge.

270
00:12:08,162 --> 00:12:10,164
- Actually,
he's why we're here.

271
00:12:10,207 --> 00:12:11,426
Any chance you were
on the job

272
00:12:11,469 --> 00:12:13,254
back when Gallagher
was a undergrad?

273
00:12:13,297 --> 00:12:14,472
- My first year.

274
00:12:14,516 --> 00:12:15,909
- You know he was accused
of raping a girl

275
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:17,432
your daughter's age?

276
00:12:17,475 --> 00:12:19,042
- Listen, I can't talk
to you, man.

277
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:20,435
You gotta go
through administration.

278
00:12:20,478 --> 00:12:22,089
- You know how that goes.

279
00:12:22,132 --> 00:12:23,438
Any chance you got
any of your memo books

280
00:12:23,481 --> 00:12:26,615
from back in the day?

281
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:28,835
The victim's name
was April Kelly.

282
00:12:28,878 --> 00:12:30,401
- Sorry, I gotta go, Officer.

283
00:12:30,445 --> 00:12:32,621
I drive my daughter home
every day.

284
00:12:32,664 --> 00:12:35,493
- You can never be too safe
with a college girl.

285
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:39,367
- I wish I could have
been more help, man.

286
00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:42,936
- Hey, if anything comes up.
- Hi, Dad.

287
00:12:42,979 --> 00:12:45,895
- Hey.
- Hello, Officer.

288
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,336
<i>- Investigating
a decades old assault charge</i>

289
00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:54,904
on Judge Gallagher
with a reluctant victim

290
00:12:54,948 --> 00:12:56,297
seems an overreach.

291
00:12:56,340 --> 00:12:57,428
- He's running
for attorney general.

292
00:12:57,472 --> 00:12:59,256
His victim disclosed
to me at the time.

293
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:02,433
- Chief, I spoke to her myself.
She's credible.

294
00:13:02,477 --> 00:13:04,087
- And her case
is outside the statute.

295
00:13:04,131 --> 00:13:06,916
- This guy is a predator
who protects other predators.

296
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,310
If we keep digging,
we're gonna find more victims.

297
00:13:09,353 --> 00:13:11,965
- Sorry, sir, I told him
you were in a meeting.

298
00:13:12,008 --> 00:13:13,488
- My fault, Chief.
It's important.

299
00:13:13,531 --> 00:13:17,057
I'd appreciate a few minutes.
- Of course, Judge.

300
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,407
It's okay, Celia.

301
00:13:19,450 --> 00:13:21,322
- So these are my accusers?

302
00:13:21,365 --> 00:13:26,675
Captain, Counselor, and Isaiah.
Et tu, busboy?

303
00:13:26,718 --> 00:13:28,329
- Been a long time, Chip.

304
00:13:28,372 --> 00:13:29,939
- Counselor Holmes
and I go way back

305
00:13:29,983 --> 00:13:32,507
when he was slinging
fish sticks.

306
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:33,900
He knows
I have nothing to hide.

307
00:13:33,943 --> 00:13:35,336
You have questions,
you should have come to me.

308
00:13:35,379 --> 00:13:36,511
- Just due diligence,
Your Honor.

309
00:13:36,554 --> 00:13:37,991
- This because you
just lost your case

310
00:13:38,034 --> 00:13:39,253
or because I'm running for AG?

311
00:13:39,296 --> 00:13:41,995
- We have
a credible accusation.

312
00:13:42,038 --> 00:13:44,171
- Credible or ginned up?

313
00:13:44,214 --> 00:13:46,390
In this environment,
any woman can say anything.

314
00:13:46,434 --> 00:13:47,565
If you have
political opponents,

315
00:13:47,609 --> 00:13:48,958
they'll run with it.

316

your true goal to tar me?

319
00:13:57,619 --> 00:13:58,968
-

320
00:13:59,012 --> 00:14:00,448
That's not what
this is about, Judge.

321
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:02,580
- You're gonna sit there
and tell me these three

322
00:14:02,624 --> 00:14:04,365
aren't biased against me?

323

You're a smart guy.

Think you'd know a hanging jury

some old boxes in my garage,

329
00:14:32,132 --> 00:14:35,396
found a bunch
of old memo books, but...

hear about my case?

00:15:00,943 --> 00:15:03,467
Hudson U just treated me
like I was toxic waste.

337
00:15:03,511 --> 00:15:07,341
- Well, somebody who cared
came forward.

Look, if you feel

- Oh, I remember the details.

341
00:15:15,001 --> 00:15:18,352
Chip Gallagher assaulted me.

342
00:15:18,395 --> 00:15:19,962
- So can you tell us
what happened?

343
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:22,399
- I passed out at a party,

344
00:15:22,443 --> 00:15:24,097
woke up with his thing
in my hand,

345
00:15:24,140 --> 00:15:26,490
and the whole room
was laughing.

346
00:15:26,534 --> 00:15:28,579
- Did you report Gallagher?
- The next day.

347
00:15:28,623 --> 00:15:31,669
They took statements
from everybody in the room,

348
00:15:31,713 --> 00:15:35,499
Chip's pals,
my so-called friends.

349
00:15:35,543 --> 00:15:38,067
They all backed Chip,
just like with April.

350
00:15:38,111 --> 00:15:40,026
- So you knew about April.

351
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:43,899
- When April heard about it,
she reached out,

352
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:46,380
told me what Gallagher
did to her.

353
00:15:46,423 --> 00:15:49,035
At least it made me feel
like I wasn't crazy.

354
00:15:50,732 --> 00:15:54,518
- If we can make a case
against Gallagher,

355
00:15:54,562 --> 00:15:56,520
would you be willing
to testify?

356
00:15:56,564 --> 00:15:57,869
- Isn't it too long ago?

357
00:15:57,913 --> 00:16:00,002
- We wouldn't be able
to prosecute your case,

358
00:16:00,046 --> 00:16:03,397
but this is still
an open investigation,

359
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,097
so his conduct with you would
certainly speak to pattern.

360
00:16:09,969 --> 00:16:12,493
- If you say so.

361
00:16:12,536 --> 00:16:14,886
In my opinion,
guys like Gallagher,

362
00:16:14,930 --> 00:16:17,541
they've been
above the law for so long,

363
00:16:17,585 --> 00:16:19,891
nothing touches them.

364
00:16:22,938 --> 00:16:24,679
- I was a freshman.

365
00:16:24,722 --> 00:16:27,508
I couldn't believe I was
invited to a Hamptons party.

366
00:16:27,551 --> 00:16:29,901
I had some drinks.

367
00:16:29,945 --> 00:16:34,471
I woke up on a boat naked
and alone with Chip Gallagher.

368
00:16:34,515 --> 00:16:36,082
I was scared.

369
00:16:36,125 --> 00:16:39,128
I begged Chip to take us back.
- And what did he say?

370
00:16:39,172 --> 00:16:42,827
- He said I had two choices--
hump or jump.

371
00:16:42,871 --> 00:16:43,959
- I'm so sorry.

372
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:46,048
- I was a city kid.
I couldn't swim.

373
00:16:46,092 --> 00:16:47,702
At least it was over fast.

374
00:16:47,745 --> 00:16:50,052
- Did you ever file
a police report?

375
00:16:50,096 --> 00:16:53,055
- Hudson U said it was
a campus security matter.

376
00:16:53,099 --> 00:16:54,230
When you're on financial aid,

377
00:16:54,274 --> 00:16:55,579
you do what the school
tells you.

378
00:16:55,623 --> 00:16:56,928
- So they told you
they'd look into it

379
00:16:56,972 --> 00:16:58,756
and not to go to the police.

380
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,976
- Would you be willing
to testify against him?

381
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,891
- I'm a court reporter.

382
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:05,067
For the past 15 years,
I've taken the testimony

383
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:08,592
of every skeeze, sleaze,
and scumbag they make.

384
00:17:08,636 --> 00:17:10,768
My dream--
someone else typing

385
00:17:10,812 --> 00:17:12,944
while I testify
against Chip Gallagher.

386
00:17:15,599 --> 00:17:17,210
- So April is still reluctant,

387
00:17:17,253 --> 00:17:19,777
but Francine is willing,

388
00:17:19,821 --> 00:17:23,259
and Carmen has already given
an interview to Buzzfeed

389
00:17:23,303 --> 00:17:25,000
about how she was
sexually assaulted

390
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:27,133
by Gallagher as an undergrad.

391
00:17:27,176 --> 00:17:29,004
- And we've got
campus police memo books

392
00:17:29,048 --> 00:17:30,658
to back 'em up.
- Okay, it's a start.

393
00:17:30,701 --> 00:17:32,094
It goes to pattern,
but I still need a case

394
00:17:32,138 --> 00:17:33,443
within the statute.

395
00:17:33,487 --> 00:17:35,489
- Also going to pattern,
Gallagher only chooses

396
00:17:35,532 --> 00:17:38,187
women from lower classes--
on scholarships, ethnic.

397
00:17:38,231 --> 00:17:40,102
- So we look for more women
in his orbit

398
00:17:40,146 --> 00:17:42,191
that fit that profile.
- Well, you better move fast.

399
00:17:42,235 --> 00:17:44,237
Gallagher's circling
the wagons.

400
00:17:45,934 --> 00:17:47,979
<i>- With us today
are ten lawyers</i>

401
00:17:48,023 --> 00:17:50,025
<i>who've been mentored
by Judge Gallagher</i>

402
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:53,855
<i>as interns,
clerks, or students.</i>

403
00:17:53,898 --> 00:17:56,031
<i>Each of these women
has signed a statement</i>

404
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:59,991
<i>attesting that the judge is
a man of impeccable character</i>

405
00:18:00,035 --> 00:18:01,993
<i>incapable of
the kind of behavior</i>

406
00:18:02,037 --> 00:18:04,518
<i>he has been
falsely accused of.</i>

407
00:18:04,561 --> 00:18:06,955
- Calhoun is defending
Gallagher now.

408
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:09,523
So there really is no bottom.
- Or shame.

409
00:18:09,566 --> 00:18:11,177
She just argued
a case in front of him.

410
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:14,745
<i>- I pride myself on having
created opportunities</i>

411
00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:16,921
<i>for women
throughout my career.</i>

412
00:18:16,965 --> 00:18:20,882
<i>If I stand for anything,
it's for equity and fairness.</i>

413
00:18:20,925 --> 00:18:25,539
<i>I don't see
gender, race, or creed.</i>

414
00:18:25,582 --> 00:18:27,845
- All right, well,
he doesn't see class or color,

415
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:29,151
but when I look
at that screen,

416
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,022
all I see are white women
of privilege.

417
00:18:31,066 --> 00:18:32,807
- So we know
he's not raping them.

418
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:34,678
- But these guys call in favors

419
00:18:34,722 --> 00:18:36,027
from women
they haven't assaulted.

420
00:18:36,071 --> 00:18:37,290
We've seen that move before.

421
00:18:37,333 --> 00:18:39,335
- All right,
then we need to find the women

422
00:18:39,379 --> 00:18:41,903
that didn't
sign that statement.

423
00:18:45,124 --> 00:18:47,691
- This was over ten years ago.

424
00:18:47,735 --> 00:18:49,780
I can guess why you're here,
and I can tell you right now

425
00:18:49,824 --> 00:18:51,304
I can't help you.

426
00:18:51,347 --> 00:18:54,176
- You weren't a part of
Gallagher's press conference.

427
00:18:54,220 --> 00:18:55,873
- I just made junior partner
at my firm.

428
00:18:55,917 --> 00:18:57,048
I didn't have the time.

429
00:18:57,092 --> 00:18:58,572
- Maybe it's because Gallagher

430
00:18:58,615 --> 00:19:00,051
was less of a gentleman
with you.

431
00:19:00,095 --> 00:19:02,793
- He was my professor,
my mentor.

432
00:19:02,837 --> 00:19:04,621
- And you're saying
he wasn't hands on?

433
00:19:04,665 --> 00:19:06,362
- I wouldn't be here today
earning high six figures

434
00:19:06,406 --> 00:19:07,929
without his referral.

435
00:19:07,972 --> 00:19:11,106
- You should be very proud,
a girl from the Pink Houses.

436
00:19:12,803 --> 00:19:14,065
- I am.

437
00:19:14,109 --> 00:19:15,676
I moved my moms
out of the projects

438
00:19:15,719 --> 00:19:17,373
in Brownsville
into a brownstone I now own.

439
00:19:17,417 --> 00:19:18,853
- You're afraid
all that'll go away

440
00:19:18,896 --> 00:19:20,376
if you let people think

441
00:19:20,420 --> 00:19:22,248
that you slept
with your professor?

442
00:19:23,118 --> 00:19:25,164
- I was talking
to your partner.

443
00:19:25,207 --> 00:19:29,168
- He's my boss,
but maybe you and I have...

444
00:19:31,387 --> 00:19:34,085
More in common
than you think.

445
00:19:34,129 --> 00:19:35,783
I had to leave
my first job, my hometown,

446
00:19:35,826 --> 00:19:37,785
because of a guy
like Gallagher.

447
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,267
- Then you know
I didn't sleep with him.

448
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,225
- Yeah.

449
00:19:46,272 --> 00:19:47,751
- He said
he needed an assistant

450
00:19:47,795 --> 00:19:50,363
on a fast track to clerk.

451
00:19:50,406 --> 00:19:53,235
Didn't matter that I was
one of his best students.

452
00:19:53,279 --> 00:19:54,715
I had a choice

453
00:19:54,758 --> 00:19:56,804
between failing his class
or acing it

454
00:19:56,847 --> 00:19:58,022
with a law school
recommendation

455
00:19:58,066 --> 00:19:59,546
and a clerkship
that led to this job--

456
00:19:59,589 --> 00:20:01,939
- Maya, you don't need me
to tell you that that's rape.

457
00:20:01,983 --> 00:20:05,247
- Maybe rape three,
but that's a tough case,

458
00:20:05,291 --> 00:20:08,816
and it might put
my partnership at risk.

459
00:20:08,859 --> 00:20:11,775
- Maya, I can't tell you
what to do,

460
00:20:11,819 --> 00:20:13,908
but I've never known
a sister from Brownsville

461
00:20:13,951 --> 00:20:15,692
that would step away
from a fight

462
00:20:15,736 --> 00:20:18,129
when someone
had done her wrong.

463
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,006
- Two women
he went to college with

464
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:27,269
and someone who clerked for him

465
00:20:27,313 --> 00:20:29,967
are making
unsubstantiated accusations.

466
00:20:30,011 --> 00:20:33,319
This isn't an investigation.
It's a political inquisition.

467
00:20:33,362 --> 00:20:36,322
- Rita, you can spin this
any way you want.

468
00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:39,847
We found these women.
They didn't come to us.

469
00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:42,066
- And the DA's willing to go
to trial on this tomorrow.

470
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:43,242
- Correct me
if I'm wrong, Counselor.

471
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:45,374
You went to Fordham Law
night school?

472
00:20:45,418 --> 00:20:49,335
You've been a ADA for a year?
- Hold on, Your Honor.

473
00:20:49,378 --> 00:20:52,163
Neither of you like my client,
but let's face it.

474
00:20:52,207 --> 00:20:53,295
If you had a viable case,

475
00:20:53,339 --> 00:20:54,775
you'd have already
perp walked him,

476
00:20:54,818 --> 00:20:57,038
so why are we here?

477
00:20:57,081 --> 00:21:00,171
- The DA's also willing
not to proceed

478
00:21:00,215 --> 00:21:02,826
if Judge Gallagher agrees
to drop out of the AG race.

479
00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:04,175
- What the hell
are you talking about?

480
00:21:04,219 --> 00:21:06,003
- He'd also have to resign
from the bench.

481
00:21:06,047 --> 00:21:07,962
- Olivia--

482
00:21:08,005 --> 00:21:11,008
I have asked the judge to give
you the benefit of the doubt,

483
00:21:11,052 --> 00:21:14,055
but these overt ideological
and personal attacks

484
00:21:14,098 --> 00:21:15,535
are beyond the pale.

485
00:21:15,578 --> 00:21:18,799
- Rita, this isn't personal,
and this is not political.

486
00:21:18,842 --> 00:21:21,454
Your client is a rapist.

487
00:21:21,497 --> 00:21:24,021
- The only reason
that he's getting off

488
00:21:24,065 --> 00:21:25,762
on a complete walk
is because the DA

489
00:21:25,806 --> 00:21:27,373
doesn't want it to look
like he's interfering

490
00:21:27,416 --> 00:21:29,853
in a political race.
I'd take it, Counselor.

491
00:21:29,897 --> 00:21:33,204
- Respectfully pass.
Judge, let's go.

492
00:21:33,248 --> 00:21:34,336
- You people in Manhattan

493
00:21:34,380 --> 00:21:36,207
really live in a bubble,
don't you?

494
00:21:36,251 --> 00:21:37,513
The world has changed.

495
00:21:37,557 --> 00:21:39,167
You have no idea
what you're dealing with.

496
00:21:39,210 --> 00:21:40,299
You know, if you keep this up,

497
00:21:40,342 --> 00:21:41,865
I'll see to it
you're disbarred.

498
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:42,866
You get lucky,

499
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:44,085
maybe the NYPD'll
take you back.

500
00:21:44,128 --> 00:21:45,913
You can do traffic stops
on Staten Island.

501
00:21:45,956 --> 00:21:47,871
- Your Honor, we're done here.
- Okay, all right.

502
00:21:47,915 --> 00:21:50,134
- Something they
can't teach you at Fordham,

503
00:21:50,178 --> 00:21:52,354
how to belong.

504
00:21:52,398 --> 00:21:54,356
People on the eighth floor
who nod at you in the elevator,

505
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,880
they can smell the flop sweat
and the garlic

506
00:21:56,924 --> 00:21:59,274
coming off your cheap suit.
- Keep going, Judge.

507
00:21:59,318 --> 00:22:00,406
- Yeah, what do you
want to hear, you dumb dago?

508
00:22:00,449 --> 00:22:01,885
You want to go?
- Yeah, fine.

509
00:22:01,929 --> 00:22:03,234
I'll take you out right here.
- Okay, that's enough.

510
00:22:03,278 --> 00:22:04,497
That's enough.
- Or we can go right now.

511
00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:07,195
Either way's fine for me.
- Carisi.

512
00:22:09,023 --> 00:22:10,764
- No need.

513
00:22:10,807 --> 00:22:12,200
You're in
so far over your head,

514

It's always good to know

00:22:42,883 --> 00:22:44,014
what's right there
below the surface.

522
00:22:44,058 --> 00:22:45,799
- He has so much ego.

523
00:22:45,842 --> 00:22:47,888
He thinks
that he's invulnerable.

524

It hasn't even occurred to him
that he's risking prison time.

525
00:22:50,543 --> 00:22:51,805
- Eh, to the contrary.

526
00:22:51,848 --> 00:22:53,459
He sees this as a way
to shore up his status

527
00:22:53,502 --> 00:22:55,809
as a victim
of cancel culture persecution.

528

- Charges are slanderous...

529

- Calhoun is beating that drum
as loud as she can.

530
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:03,382
- You have your work
cut out for you, Counselor.

531
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:04,687
Good luck.

532

a respected and dedicated

civil servant
for over 1/4 century.

He has devoted his entire life

00:23:15,655 --> 00:23:16,699
and the rule of law.

536

- Isn't Carmen
your first witness?

537
00:23:18,745 --> 00:23:20,877
- Ms. Benitez, you need
to wait with the court officer

538
00:23:20,921 --> 00:23:22,618
until you testify.
- I won't be testifying.

I know how stressful
this can be,

541

but you were solid on--

He said if I testify,
no judge will take me

as their court reporter.
I'm sorry.

I have to work.
I have kids.

00:23:34,804 --> 00:23:35,892
they're threatening
to blackball you.

548
00:23:35,936 --> 00:23:37,067
That is illegal.
They cannot do that.

549

- Like that's
ever stopped Gallagher.

I had too much to drink.

Chip Gallagher
was kneeling over me,

561

and he had put his erect penis
in my left hand.

- Was anyone else there?

- I did.

566

They told me
not to go to the police

567
00:24:31,557 --> 00:24:33,907
and then they deemed it
unfounded.

I ended up transferring out.

- Right, because you've been
divorced three times

I'm merely showing a pattern

- Cheated on three husbands

first met the defendant,

00:25:42,584 --> 00:25:44,717
he wasn't just
a law school professor.

594
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,024
He was also a sitting judge.
- Yes.

595
00:25:48,068 --> 00:25:49,548
I looked up to him.

596
00:25:49,591 --> 00:25:52,072
He seemed to take
a special interest in me

597
00:25:52,115 --> 00:25:53,421
even though
I was on scholarship.

598
00:25:53,464 --> 00:25:55,075
- And what changed
your relationship?

599
00:25:55,118 --> 00:25:57,643
- I asked if I could use him
as a reference for a clerkship.

600
00:25:58,905 --> 00:26:00,820
He said he would be happy
to discuss my future

601
00:26:00,863 --> 00:26:02,865
if I met him
at his campus office one night.

602
00:26:02,909 --> 00:26:05,128
- And what happened
in that meeting?

603
00:26:05,172 --> 00:26:07,696
- He said he would be
open to helping me

604
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:09,480
if I was open to helping him.

605
00:26:09,524 --> 00:26:10,960
- What did you
take that to mean?

606
00:26:11,004 --> 00:26:14,181
- He made it clear
that if I wanted good grades,

607
00:26:14,224 --> 00:26:18,577
a recommendation,
I had to, as he put it,

608
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:21,188
"approach the bench."

609
00:26:21,231 --> 00:26:24,104
By that, he meant
service him sexually.

610
00:26:24,147 --> 00:26:27,107
- And did you?

611
00:26:27,150 --> 00:26:31,067
- Yes, the first time
that night.

612
00:26:31,111 --> 00:26:34,810
I subsequently
had "night court" with him--

613
00:26:34,854 --> 00:26:38,727
his phrase for oral sex--
until the semester ended.

614
00:26:38,771 --> 00:26:40,903
- Did he physically force you?

615
00:26:40,947 --> 00:26:45,081
- No, but he made it clear that
if I didn't do what he wanted,

616
00:26:45,125 --> 00:26:46,648
he wouldn't just fail me.

617
00:26:46,692 --> 00:26:49,085
He'd see to it that I would
lose my scholarship

618
00:26:49,129 --> 00:26:50,783
and be expelled.

619
00:26:50,826 --> 00:26:53,699
One phone call
and my hopes of a law career

620
00:26:53,742 --> 00:26:55,614
would be dead and buried.

621
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:59,052
- Dead and buried.

622
00:27:00,314 --> 00:27:03,143
Those were his exact words?
- Yes.

623
00:27:04,797 --> 00:27:07,277
I knew I would
never become a lawyer.

624
00:27:07,321 --> 00:27:09,584
- Thank you, Ms. Bell.

625
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,630
I know it wasn't easy
for you to be here today.

626
00:27:15,285 --> 00:27:19,507
- As a lawyer, Ms. Bell,
I assume you know

627
00:27:19,550 --> 00:27:22,118
the penal code for prostitution

Hudson believed this encounter
was consensual?

698

- I don't know.

699
00:30:54,330 --> 00:30:56,332
- Was it because none of
the supposed witnesses to this

700
00:30:56,376 --> 00:30:58,682
backed you up?
- They were his frat buddies.

701
00:30:58,726 --> 00:31:01,337
- Didn't campus police
interview two of your friends

- Okay.

You were drinking.

you got on that bathroom floor?

He raped me.

- But no rape kit,
no police report.

712
00:31:26,710 --> 00:31:29,235

if I reported it to the police,

it could jeopardize
my scholarship.

- And did you report this
to anyone?

715
00:31:33,892 --> 00:31:37,373

Isaiah Holmes.

- And did Mr. Holmes
do anything on your behalf?

Did he report what you

Chip Gallagher raped me.
He ruined my life.

722
00:31:56,958 --> 00:32:00,701
You failed out of Hudson.
This was 30 years ago.

723
00:32:00,744 --> 00:32:04,574
Isn't it possible
that you ruined your life

724
00:32:04,618 --> 00:32:05,749
all by yourself?

725
00:32:05,793 --> 00:32:07,708
- Objection,
badgering the witness.

726
00:32:07,751 --> 00:32:10,624
- Rephrase.

727
00:32:10,667 --> 00:32:12,931
You're unhappy with your life.

728
00:32:12,974 --> 00:32:15,281
Isn't it possible
you're looking

729
00:32:15,324 --> 00:32:17,979
for someone else to blame?
- I can't do this!

730
00:32:18,023 --> 00:32:19,763
I can't.

731
00:32:19,807 --> 00:32:21,417
- Your honor, request a recess.

732
00:32:21,461 --> 00:32:23,506
- I'm not finished with my line
of questioning, Your Honor.

733
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:25,813
- I think the witness is.

734
00:32:25,856 --> 00:32:28,468
-

735
00:32:38,608 --> 00:32:40,045
- I tried to talk to April.

736
00:32:40,088 --> 00:32:41,655
She said she wished
I never brought any of this up.

737
00:32:41,698 --> 00:32:43,962
- I was the one that came
to you in the first place.

738
00:32:44,005 --> 00:32:45,746
- I thought I could
make things right,

739
00:32:45,789 --> 00:32:47,356
but I could not
help April today

740
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,272
any more than I could
30 years ago.

741
00:32:50,316 --> 00:32:53,014
- You could testify to that.

742
00:32:53,058 --> 00:32:54,973
- I was in the courtroom
to be supportive of her.

743
00:32:55,016 --> 00:32:57,497
Calhoun will claim that taints
any testimony I give.

744
00:32:57,540 --> 00:32:59,629
- She will, but let me
take it to the judge.

745
00:32:59,673 --> 00:33:02,023
You were an outcry witness.
That has to carry weight.

746
00:33:02,067 --> 00:33:04,939
- And you think that'll make
any difference to the jury?

747
00:33:04,983 --> 00:33:07,637
- It'll make a difference
to Gallagher.

748
00:33:12,468 --> 00:33:14,296
When did April Kelly
tell you

749
00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:16,951
that she had been raped
by Chip Gallagher?

750
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,954
- Your Honor, approach?

751
00:33:23,653 --> 00:33:25,829
Again, I object
to this witness.

752
00:33:25,873 --> 00:33:27,788
How do we know
Mr. Holmes' testimony

753
00:33:27,831 --> 00:33:29,137
hasn't been tailored to confirm

754
00:33:29,181 --> 00:33:32,010
what he heard
April Kelly claim on the stand?

755
00:33:32,053 --> 00:33:33,533
- We went over this
in chambers, Your Honor.

756
00:33:33,576 --> 00:33:36,405
- Ms. Calhoun, your objection
is on the record.

757
00:33:36,449 --> 00:33:39,060
You will have the opportunity
to cross-examine on that point,

758
00:33:39,104 --> 00:33:42,629
and, as I said,
I will remind the jury

759
00:33:42,672 --> 00:33:44,457
that when they evaluate
this testimony,

760
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:47,808
they need to take Mr. Holmes'
earlier presence into account.

761
00:33:47,851 --> 00:33:50,506
Step back.

762
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,381
You may proceed, Mr. Holmes.

763
00:33:55,424 --> 00:33:56,643
- April told me the next day.

764
00:33:56,686 --> 00:34:00,429
She was distraught, broken,
I'd say.

765
00:34:00,473 --> 00:34:01,778
I knew she was
telling the truth.

766
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:03,606
- Was there another reason
that you believed her?

767
00:34:03,650 --> 00:34:05,739
- Yes, that morning
while serving them

768
00:34:05,782 --> 00:34:07,741
in the frat dining hall,
I heard Chip bragging

769
00:34:07,784 --> 00:34:11,136
about what he'd done to April.
- In front of you?

770
00:34:11,179 --> 00:34:12,659
- I believe
they were accustomed

771
00:34:12,702 --> 00:34:13,834
to not noticing the help.

772
00:34:13,877 --> 00:34:15,923
- And did you say anything
to Gallagher?

773
00:34:15,966 --> 00:34:18,099
- I tried to confront him.
- You tried?

774
00:34:18,143 --> 00:34:20,841
- I was a confused kid
in college,

775
00:34:20,884 --> 00:34:23,148
unsure of my own racial
and sexual identity.

776
00:34:23,191 --> 00:34:24,845
- Objection.
Relevance?

777
00:34:24,888 --> 00:34:26,499
- I'm getting to that,
Your Honor.

778
00:34:26,542 --> 00:34:30,720
What happened when you
confronted Mr. Gallagher?

779
00:34:30,764 --> 00:34:32,766
- He just smirked.

780
00:34:32,809 --> 00:34:34,202
Then he said,
if I reported him,

781
00:34:34,246 --> 00:34:35,769
he would tell everyone I was
"not just a half-breed

782
00:34:35,812 --> 00:34:39,033
but a homo," and that
he knew the school trustees.

783
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:41,644
He could kill my scholarship
in a phone call.

784
00:34:41,688 --> 00:34:43,081
