1
00:00:04,265 --> 00:00:06,309
In the criminal justice
system,
2
00:00:06,310 --> 00:00:07,702
the people are represented
3
00:00:07,703 --> 00:00:10,096
by two separate,
yet equally important groups:
4
00:00:10,097 --> 00:00:11,880
the police,
who investigate crime,
5
00:00:11,881 --> 00:00:14,796
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:14,797 --> 00:00:16,581
These are their stories.
7
00:00:19,193 --> 00:00:21,063
You're not gonna
believe this.
8
00:00:21,064 --> 00:00:23,283
The mother of one
of my patients calls,
9
00:00:23,284 --> 00:00:26,112
and she wants an
emergency session, right?
10
00:00:26,113 --> 00:00:30,116
So their kid got
waitlisted at Cornell.
11
00:00:30,117 --> 00:00:31,595
He's right on the bubble.
12
00:00:31,596 --> 00:00:33,162
So the admissions office
wants to do a phone call
13
00:00:33,163 --> 00:00:35,164
with him, like an interview.
14
00:00:35,165 --> 00:00:36,557
And then he's in.
15
00:00:36,558 --> 00:00:38,646
It's great, right?
- Yeah.
16
00:00:38,647 --> 00:00:43,259
Okay. But the kid declines
because of telephobia,
17
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:45,696
all right, the fear
of talking on the telephone.
18
00:00:45,697 --> 00:00:48,047
- That's a thing?
- It's an epidemic.
19
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:51,093
Okay, Gen Z, Gen Alpha, they
can do anything on their phone
20
00:00:51,094 --> 00:00:52,703
except talk on it.
21
00:00:52,704 --> 00:00:56,881
Anyway, so I say to him,
would you rather go to Cornell
22
00:00:56,882 --> 00:00:58,535
or not make a phone call?
23
00:00:58,536 --> 00:01:01,886
And the kid says,
"Cornell wasn't meant to be."
24
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:03,888
I couldn't believe it.
25
00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:06,456
You know,
in many cultures,
26
00:01:06,457 --> 00:01:09,329
it's customary to say hello
to someone when you see them
27
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:11,679
as a kind of greeting or--
28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,029
- Hello.
- Hello.
29
00:01:14,030 --> 00:01:16,205
Sorry.
30
00:01:16,206 --> 00:01:18,294
Oh, hang on.
31
00:01:18,295 --> 00:01:20,905
Oh, I gotta--
32
00:01:22,212 --> 00:01:24,213
You wouldn't believe what
these kids come in with.
33
00:01:24,214 --> 00:01:26,868
Crippling anxiety,
social isolation.
34
00:01:27,913 --> 00:01:29,176
What the--
35
00:01:33,528 --> 00:01:35,833
I need to practice
what I preach, don't I?
36
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:37,748
No judgment.
37
00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:39,141
Maybe.
38
00:01:39,142 --> 00:01:40,969
Okay, I'm putting
this away now.
39
00:01:40,970 --> 00:01:43,537
We're gonna go for a walk
like people used to do
40
00:01:43,538 --> 00:01:47,149
before we had mega computers
in our pockets.
41
00:01:51,937 --> 00:01:54,548
Nora, Todd, got a sec?
42
00:01:54,549 --> 00:01:56,027
Listen.
43
00:01:56,028 --> 00:01:59,118
This wasn't easy, but
I can only choose one of you.
44
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:01,468
That's why they
call it a solo.
45
00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:02,905
Nora, I'm going with Todd.
46
00:02:05,299 --> 00:02:07,126
- Perfect.
- Don't be like that.
47
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:09,171
Todd hit that high C tonight.
48
00:02:09,172 --> 00:02:10,868
Plus,
he's a totally awesome guy.
49
00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:12,609
I get you're upset.
50
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:14,176
Channel it into your trumpet.
51
00:02:14,177 --> 00:02:16,701
We need everything
we got this weekend.
52
00:02:18,268 --> 00:02:19,834
Later, Mr. T.
53
00:02:19,835 --> 00:02:21,140
Thanks.
54
00:02:25,841 --> 00:02:27,189
We good?
55
00:02:33,979 --> 00:02:35,197
Talk to me.
56
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:36,198
Three stab wounds
to the upper back.
57
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:37,330
No sign of the weapon.
58
00:02:37,331 --> 00:02:38,461
Who found the body?
59
00:02:38,462 --> 00:02:39,462
A couple of people
heard a scream.
60
00:02:39,463 --> 00:02:40,855
Jogger got here first.
61
00:02:40,856 --> 00:02:42,552
Kid died in his arms.
62
00:02:42,553 --> 00:02:43,510
Robbery?
63
00:02:43,511 --> 00:02:44,946
Doesn't look like it.
64
00:02:44,947 --> 00:02:47,514
Wallet and backpack are here,
but no cell phone.
65
00:02:47,515 --> 00:02:50,038
I'll bet you my pension
he had one, though.
66
00:03:00,963 --> 00:03:03,225
Some kind of bead.
67
00:03:03,226 --> 00:03:05,488
Let's bag it.
68
00:03:05,489 --> 00:03:07,229
You got an ID on this kid?
69
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,885
Todd Feldman, 10th grade.
70
00:03:11,930 --> 00:03:13,366
Same grade as my daughter.
71
00:04:03,547 --> 00:04:05,941
This can't be happening.
72
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:09,160
Why was your son in the park?
73
00:04:09,161 --> 00:04:11,728
He was walking home from
school, Northwood Academy.
74
00:04:11,729 --> 00:04:14,470
He stayed late for rehearsal--
75
00:04:14,471 --> 00:04:17,560
big marching band competition
on Sunday.
76
00:04:17,561 --> 00:04:20,781
And had anything
unusual happened lately?
77
00:04:20,782 --> 00:04:21,825
Any problems?
78
00:04:21,826 --> 00:04:25,568
No, he was just
a regular kid.
79
00:04:25,569 --> 00:04:27,788
He had a good head
on his shoulders.
80
00:04:27,789 --> 00:04:30,618
Todd struggled a bit
in the social department.
81
00:04:32,489 --> 00:04:34,229
Would anyone want
to hurt him?
82
00:04:34,230 --> 00:04:35,752
No.
83
00:04:35,753 --> 00:04:38,452
Todd never had so much
as a scuffle at school.
84
00:04:42,456 --> 00:04:44,283
Hear anything from the ME?
85
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:45,501
Yeah, she said
that the stab wounds
86
00:04:45,502 --> 00:04:47,286
on the victim were weird.
87
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:48,635
Weird how?
88
00:04:48,636 --> 00:04:50,463
The weapon's blade
was super sharp,
89
00:04:50,464 --> 00:04:53,161
but it made shallow wounds,
Just 2 1/4 inches,
90
00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:55,729
a full inch shorter than
your standard switchblade.
91
00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:57,252
- That is weird.
- Yeah.
92
00:04:57,253 --> 00:04:58,775
Any luck pinging
the vic's cell phone?
93
00:04:58,776 --> 00:05:00,342
It's either off or destroyed.
94
00:05:00,343 --> 00:05:02,605
We've been scouring cameras
in the vicinity of the park
95
00:05:02,606 --> 00:05:05,869
for any suspicious activity,
but no dice.
96
00:05:07,394 --> 00:05:09,438
Can you please tell me
you have something?
97
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:11,962
Parents found some pills
that weren't Todd's.
98
00:05:11,963 --> 00:05:14,356
And the pills, Adderall,
99
00:05:14,357 --> 00:05:16,315
Todd had it stashed
under his mattress.
100
00:05:16,316 --> 00:05:18,882
And shocker,
not his prescription.
101
00:05:18,883 --> 00:05:20,536
Most of the label's
ripped off,
102
00:05:20,537 --> 00:05:22,799
but there's still
an RX number and a DOB.
103
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,453
Yeah, yeah, there was
enough on there
104
00:05:24,454 --> 00:05:26,455
for me to call for a refill.
105
00:05:26,456 --> 00:05:28,762
Pharmacist assumed I was
the holder's father,
106
00:05:28,763 --> 00:05:31,155
referred to me
as a Mr. Colavecchio,
107
00:05:31,156 --> 00:05:32,461
so I referenced that name
108
00:05:32,462 --> 00:05:34,028
against the directory
at Todd's school,
109
00:05:34,029 --> 00:05:35,421
and I got a hit:
110
00:05:35,422 --> 00:05:37,640
Dylan Colavecchio,
15 years old,
111
00:05:37,641 --> 00:05:39,120
and according
to the yearbook,
112
00:05:39,121 --> 00:05:41,209
he's in some of the same
AP classes as Todd
113
00:05:41,210 --> 00:05:42,776
and also in the marching band.
114
00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:43,864
Nice.
115
00:05:43,865 --> 00:05:45,779
Do you think this
was about drugs?
116
00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:47,607
There's only one way
to find out.
117
00:05:47,608 --> 00:05:49,652
I should just keep
the jacket on.
118
00:05:52,656 --> 00:05:55,136
Dylan Colavecchio,
119
00:05:55,137 --> 00:05:58,052
need to talk to you
about Todd Feldman.
120
00:05:58,053 --> 00:05:59,967
Hey, stop!
121
00:06:03,798 --> 00:06:06,061
Hey, for a smart kid, that
was really freaking stupid.
122
00:06:10,457 --> 00:06:12,458
Okay, Dylan.
123
00:06:12,459 --> 00:06:13,676
You understand your rights.
124
00:06:13,677 --> 00:06:14,895
You don't have to--
125
00:06:14,896 --> 00:06:16,026
Answer any questions
I don't want to.
126
00:06:16,027 --> 00:06:17,463
Yeah, I got it.
127
00:06:17,464 --> 00:06:18,942
And your mom's on her way.
128
00:06:18,943 --> 00:06:20,335
You called my mom?
129
00:06:20,336 --> 00:06:21,336
You're a minor.
130
00:06:21,337 --> 00:06:23,207
I had to.
131
00:06:23,208 --> 00:06:25,253
And you know what
I'm gonna tell her?
132
00:06:25,254 --> 00:06:28,822
That you distributed
a controlled substance.
133
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:31,128
And that's a Class D felony.
134
00:06:31,129 --> 00:06:33,174
Yeah,
I sold my pills to Todd.
135
00:06:33,175 --> 00:06:35,351
You got me.
But I didn't kill anybody.
136
00:06:37,353 --> 00:06:39,615
Did you make the exchange
with Todd Feldman
137
00:06:39,616 --> 00:06:40,964
in Central Park yesterday?
138
00:06:40,965 --> 00:06:42,923
And did he forget to pay you?
139
00:06:42,924 --> 00:06:44,446
No.
140
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:46,622
I gave the pills to Todd
at school last week,
141
00:06:46,623 --> 00:06:49,625
and he paid me
142
00:06:49,626 --> 00:06:51,367
with his Nintendo Switch.
143
00:06:52,803 --> 00:06:54,282
Real gangsters.
144
00:06:54,283 --> 00:06:56,066
Half our school
is on Adderall.
145
00:06:56,067 --> 00:06:58,634
It's--Todd's just one of
the few who didn't actually
146
00:06:58,635 --> 00:07:00,680
have an ADHD diagnosis.
147
00:07:00,681 --> 00:07:02,333
So why did he need the drugs?
148
00:07:02,334 --> 00:07:03,987
To keep up.
149
00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:07,513
Todd's juggling AP classes,
rocketry,
150
00:07:07,514 --> 00:07:10,472
and he's going to war
with this girl, Nora.
151
00:07:10,473 --> 00:07:13,823
Why is he going to war
with this girl, Nora?
152
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:17,131
Over marching band stuff,
153
00:07:17,132 --> 00:07:20,003
who was going to play the solo
at the band competition.
154
00:07:20,004 --> 00:07:21,744
You can't be serious.
155
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:23,790
I know it sounds stupid,
156
00:07:23,791 --> 00:07:26,357
two kids fighting
over a trumpet solo,
157
00:07:26,358 --> 00:07:28,970
but it got nasty.
158
00:07:33,191 --> 00:07:36,759
Okay, Nora,
there you are after school.
159
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,067
That's you giving Todd Feldman
a piece of your mind.
160
00:07:40,068 --> 00:07:42,678
Then 20 minutes later,
he was murdered.
161
00:07:42,679 --> 00:07:45,507
I promise you, I went
straight home from school.
162
00:07:45,508 --> 00:07:47,727
And I FaceTimed all
the way home with my friend.
163
00:07:47,728 --> 00:07:49,511
You can check my phone.
164
00:07:49,512 --> 00:07:51,948
So what was this beef
about, huh?
165
00:07:51,949 --> 00:07:53,863
Trumpet solo?
166
00:07:53,864 --> 00:07:55,169
Nothing to do with that.
167
00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:57,214
Well, what then?
168
00:07:57,215 --> 00:07:59,695
I always thought Todd was
just a decent guy,
169
00:07:59,696 --> 00:08:01,828
but...
170
00:08:01,829 --> 00:08:04,134
I heard he sent around
a nude photo
171
00:08:04,135 --> 00:08:06,267
of a girl at our school.
172
00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:08,878
This crap happens
every day at our school.
173
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:11,533
It happened to my sister.
174
00:08:11,534 --> 00:08:12,969
It was awful.
175
00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:15,494
Nora, it's very important
that you tell us
176
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:17,497
who was the girl
in the picture.
177
00:08:25,113 --> 00:08:26,417
Mr. Moore?
178
00:08:26,418 --> 00:08:27,854
We need to speak
to your daughter.
179
00:08:27,855 --> 00:08:28,985
Why?
180
00:08:28,986 --> 00:08:30,204
We're investigating
the murder
181
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:31,553
of one of her classmates.
182
00:08:31,554 --> 00:08:32,902
What's Cassie
got to do with it?
183
00:08:32,903 --> 00:08:34,339
Can we speak inside?
184
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,559
Is Cassie here?
185
00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:39,213
No, she's at school.
186
00:08:39,214 --> 00:08:41,041
Actually, she's not.
187
00:08:41,042 --> 00:08:42,303
Hey, excuse me.
188
00:08:42,304 --> 00:08:44,087
Sir, we just came from there.
189
00:08:44,088 --> 00:08:46,220
She never went to school today.
- What?
190
00:08:46,221 --> 00:08:48,004
That's the first
I've heard of it.
191
00:08:48,005 --> 00:08:50,441
You got FindMy?
192
00:08:50,442 --> 00:08:52,705
Hey, Lieu.
193
00:08:52,706 --> 00:08:55,664
Missing bead from the scene.
194
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:08,155
You know, Cassie,
I don't usually do this,
195
00:09:08,156 --> 00:09:10,287
but I've got a daughter
your age.
196
00:09:10,288 --> 00:09:11,941
I've seen what she's
been through at school.
197
00:09:11,942 --> 00:09:13,464
And to be honest,
198
00:09:13,465 --> 00:09:15,902
I think she's been
pretty lucky.
199
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:19,470
What happened to you,
what Todd Feldman did to you,
200
00:09:19,471 --> 00:09:21,124
some might say that
he deserved it.
201
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,213
My daughter would never
hurt anyone, period.
202
00:09:23,214 --> 00:09:24,606
Mr. Moore, you are
allowed to be here
203
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:25,868
to support your daughter,
204
00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:27,217
but you are not to
answer questions for her.
205
00:09:27,218 --> 00:09:28,524
Do you understand me?
206
00:09:30,395 --> 00:09:33,963
We're only looking
for the truth, Cassie.
207
00:09:33,964 --> 00:09:36,575
This is from your bracelet.
208
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:39,099
We found it
next to Todd's body.
209
00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,232
And that puts you
at the crime scene.
210
00:09:42,233 --> 00:09:43,494
That's not true.
211
00:09:43,495 --> 00:09:44,974
I lost my bead,
like, two years ago.
212
00:09:44,975 --> 00:09:46,062
Cassie, come on.
213
00:09:46,063 --> 00:09:47,629
I'm telling the truth.
214
00:09:50,938 --> 00:09:54,331
Just got off the phone
with Maroun.
215
00:09:54,332 --> 00:09:57,857
She doesn't think we have
enough to charge Cassie.
216
00:09:57,858 --> 00:09:59,206
She's only 15.
217
00:09:59,207 --> 00:10:00,686
We can only hold her
for six hours.
218
00:10:00,687 --> 00:10:02,078
I got something.
219
00:10:02,079 --> 00:10:04,167
Accessed Cassie's Uber account.
220
00:10:04,168 --> 00:10:07,431
Toyota Camry picked her up near
the west side of Central Park
221
00:10:07,432 --> 00:10:10,652
300 yards from the scene,
11 minutes after the murder.
222
00:10:10,653 --> 00:10:12,523
Something that puts her
in the area.
223
00:10:12,524 --> 00:10:14,177
Did you get a hold
of the driver?
224
00:10:14,178 --> 00:10:16,658
Dude can hold a grudge.
Gave Cassie two stars.
225
00:10:16,659 --> 00:10:18,181
What did she do?
226
00:10:18,182 --> 00:10:20,706
Made him make a pit stop
on the way to her apartment.
227
00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:22,316
Pit stop for what?
228
00:10:22,317 --> 00:10:24,013
His exact words,
229
00:10:24,014 --> 00:10:26,060
"You gotta go, you gotta go."
230
00:10:28,062 --> 00:10:29,715
We need to check
your restroom.
231
00:10:29,716 --> 00:10:31,151
Okay.
232
00:10:39,682 --> 00:10:40,727
Nothing in here.
233
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,642
Where is everything?
234
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:44,686
Where's what?
235
00:10:44,687 --> 00:10:46,209
Your trash,
where do you put it?
236
00:10:46,210 --> 00:10:47,733
Oh, there's a dumpster
out back.
237
00:10:47,734 --> 00:10:49,299
When's trash day?
238
00:10:56,699 --> 00:10:59,746
God, we gotta find you
a damn partner.
239
00:11:01,835 --> 00:11:04,445
Yo, how long is
this going to take?
240
00:11:04,446 --> 00:11:07,056
Ask me that again,
I swear to God, all right?
241
00:11:07,057 --> 00:11:08,841
Hey.
242
00:11:08,842 --> 00:11:11,104
What, I got to sift through
the trash and take crap for it?
243
00:11:11,105 --> 00:11:13,454
No, no, no, no, no,
dummy, look.
244
00:11:13,455 --> 00:11:15,412
Oh.
245
00:11:15,413 --> 00:11:18,721
Oh, yeah, I got some kind
of credit card here too.
246
00:11:20,636 --> 00:11:22,419
Wait.
247
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:24,334
It's not a credit card.
- No?
248
00:11:24,335 --> 00:11:26,162
I've seen these.
249
00:11:26,163 --> 00:11:28,296
Women use these
for self-defense.
250
00:11:29,732 --> 00:11:31,733
Huh.
251
00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:33,604
Looks like blood.
252
00:11:33,605 --> 00:11:35,389
Would match with
the ME said, too, right?
253
00:11:35,390 --> 00:11:38,609
The wounds were sharp,
but really shallow?
254
00:11:38,610 --> 00:11:41,570
One man's trash is
another man's treasure.
255
00:11:47,794 --> 00:11:49,490
Salt and vinegar.
256
00:11:49,491 --> 00:11:51,666
You like?
257
00:11:51,667 --> 00:11:54,364
Cassie, I know I told you
you are under no obligation
258
00:11:54,365 --> 00:11:55,714
to talk to me.
259
00:11:55,715 --> 00:11:59,065
Truth is,
I'm under no obligation
260
00:11:59,066 --> 00:12:01,241
to talk to you either.
261
00:12:01,242 --> 00:12:04,418
So we found this group chat
on Todd's phone--
262
00:12:04,419 --> 00:12:06,986
Todd, a few of his friends.
263
00:12:06,987 --> 00:12:09,292
Check out the last message
he sent.
264
00:12:09,293 --> 00:12:11,731
"The photo of Cassie was fake."
265
00:12:15,952 --> 00:12:20,695
Now, we have a witness
who found Todd unresponsive,
266
00:12:20,696 --> 00:12:25,874
dead, and then made
a call to 911
267
00:12:25,875 --> 00:12:28,224
at 6:37 p.m.
268
00:12:28,225 --> 00:12:33,490
And the funny thing is,
when Todd sent this message
269
00:12:33,491 --> 00:12:37,757
that the photo was fake,
it was 6:41 p.m.
270
00:12:39,193 --> 00:12:40,977
So he was already dead.
271
00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:45,372
Here's what I think.
272
00:12:45,373 --> 00:12:47,462
I think you killed Todd.
273
00:12:48,811 --> 00:12:50,638
You took his phone,
274
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,248
scanned his face to unlock it,
275
00:12:52,249 --> 00:12:55,775
and then you sent that
message to his friends.
276
00:12:57,602 --> 00:12:59,213
And this is why.
277
00:13:02,607 --> 00:13:07,133
That picture Todd passed around
school was fake, wasn't it?
278
00:13:07,134 --> 00:13:10,136
And this is the original
you sent him.
279
00:13:10,137 --> 00:13:12,703
And I'm guessing he used
one of those stupid apps
280
00:13:12,704 --> 00:13:16,098
to turn it into a nude,
which is disgusting.
281
00:13:16,099 --> 00:13:18,493
So what happened?
282
00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:24,585
I had to go
to this pool party
283
00:13:24,586 --> 00:13:26,065
with these popular girls.
284
00:13:26,066 --> 00:13:30,721
And I wasn't feeling so good
about myself, you know?
285
00:13:30,722 --> 00:13:34,073
So you took a selfie
of your suit,
286
00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:36,902
and you sent it to your
friend for reassurance.
287
00:13:36,903 --> 00:13:38,642
He was really nice about it.
288
00:13:38,643 --> 00:13:40,122
He said that I looked great,
289
00:13:40,123 --> 00:13:42,516
and that I had nothing
to worry about.
290
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:47,303
But then he turned on you.
291
00:13:47,304 --> 00:13:48,828
Why?
292
00:13:50,351 --> 00:13:55,311
There's this group of guys,
these popular boys.
293
00:13:55,312 --> 00:13:59,185
And they were teasing him
about being a virgin.
294
00:13:59,186 --> 00:14:03,276
And he was just
so desperate to fit in.
295
00:14:03,277 --> 00:14:07,454
So he told them that
he hooked up with me,
296
00:14:07,455 --> 00:14:10,152
sent them that photo
of me nude.
297
00:14:10,153 --> 00:14:13,373
Well, you had every right
to be angry,
298
00:14:13,374 --> 00:14:15,897
to hate him.
299
00:14:15,898 --> 00:14:20,815
So I waited
for him in the park.
300
00:14:20,816 --> 00:14:22,512
How'd you know where he'd be?
301
00:14:22,513 --> 00:14:24,819
'Cause we'd walk home from
school together every day.
302
00:14:24,820 --> 00:14:27,256
And we always cut through
the same way in the park.
303
00:14:27,257 --> 00:14:30,172
And I--I waited for him.
304
00:14:30,173 --> 00:14:35,395
And when I saw him, I...
305
00:14:35,396 --> 00:14:38,267
I stabbed him.
306
00:14:38,268 --> 00:14:39,921
I was just so angry.
307
00:14:39,922 --> 00:14:42,576
And hurting him was the
only thing that made sense.
308
00:14:50,019 --> 00:14:52,587
Thank you
for being so honest.
309
00:14:54,241 --> 00:14:56,069
Can I go now?
310
00:14:59,681 --> 00:15:01,248
No.
311
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,685
I'm afraid not.
312
00:15:11,127 --> 00:15:12,780
Well, the victim's blood
is a match
313
00:15:12,781 --> 00:15:14,564
to the blood found on weapon.
314
00:15:14,565 --> 00:15:17,045
Plus, we recovered Cassie's
fingerprints on the weapon
315
00:15:17,046 --> 00:15:19,482
and on the phone she stole
from the victim.
316
00:15:19,483 --> 00:15:22,224
Right. And in addition to
a full confession, of course.
317
00:15:22,225 --> 00:15:24,923
The question now is,
do we charge her as an adult?
318
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,750
It's a tough call.
319
00:15:26,751 --> 00:15:29,101
Cassie Moore planned this.
320
00:15:29,102 --> 00:15:30,580
She laid in wait.
321
00:15:30,581 --> 00:15:33,148
She is also 15 years old.
322
00:15:33,149 --> 00:15:37,718
And the jury will hear what was
done to her, which was cruel.
323
00:15:37,719 --> 00:15:39,067
I hear that.
324
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:40,808
I read Cassie's
confession, though.
325
00:15:40,809 --> 00:15:43,724
This was a sophisticated
and premeditated crime,
326
00:15:43,725 --> 00:15:45,508
just like that kid
in Hunts Point committed
327
00:15:45,509 --> 00:15:46,640
a few weeks ago.
328
00:15:46,641 --> 00:15:49,121
We charged him as an adult.
329
00:15:49,122 --> 00:15:50,949
I don't really see much
difference aside from the fact
330
00:15:50,950 --> 00:15:52,211
that he's Dominican.
331
00:15:52,212 --> 00:15:54,517
Yeah, he was the
same age as Cassie.
332
00:15:54,518 --> 00:15:58,304
But that kid also had known
gang ties, five priors.
333
00:15:58,305 --> 00:16:01,002
We need to be
consistent, Nolan.
334
00:16:01,003 --> 00:16:04,266
And let's not forget
the victim, Todd Feldman.
335
00:16:04,267 --> 00:16:06,007
When that fake photo
started circulating,
336
00:16:06,008 --> 00:16:07,791
she never told the police.
337
00:16:07,792 --> 00:16:09,619
She didn't tell
the authorities at her school.
338
00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:11,273
She never talked to her father.
339
00:16:11,274 --> 00:16:13,101
She just went
straight to murder.
340
00:16:13,102 --> 00:16:16,017
Well, lots of victims
don't report crimes like this.
341
00:16:16,018 --> 00:16:18,889
Cassie may have felt too
humiliated to come forward.
342
00:16:18,890 --> 00:16:20,935
You're right.
343
00:16:20,936 --> 00:16:22,589
But I'm afraid
that's irrelevant.
344
00:16:22,590 --> 00:16:26,202
Cassie brutally and viciously
killed this kid in cold blood.
345
00:16:27,725 --> 00:16:29,901
She needs to be
tried as an adult.
346
00:16:40,738 --> 00:16:42,652
- Grace, hi.
- Hi.
347
00:16:42,653 --> 00:16:44,133
Come in.
348
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:50,356
I'm fine, thank you.
349
00:16:50,357 --> 00:16:54,361
Hey, you're charging
Cassie Moore as an adult?
350
00:16:55,753 --> 00:16:58,842
The defense are challenging
it, which is standard.
351
00:16:58,843 --> 00:17:02,933
But yes, we're gonna try.
352
00:17:02,934 --> 00:17:07,416
Also, you know
I can't talk about this.
353
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:11,072
Although I am curious
how you even know.
354
00:17:11,073 --> 00:17:13,162
Cassie is my patient.
355
00:17:15,077 --> 00:17:18,037
She has been since
she lost her mother.
356
00:17:19,908 --> 00:17:22,692
And her defense attorney
has asked me to testify
357
00:17:22,693 --> 00:17:24,520
on her behalf at the hearing.
358
00:17:24,521 --> 00:17:26,435
Well, I think--
359
00:17:26,436 --> 00:17:28,221
Please don't do this.
360
00:17:29,439 --> 00:17:30,874
She's just a kid.
361
00:17:30,875 --> 00:17:34,574
She's just a screwed up
little girl.
362
00:17:40,842 --> 00:17:45,933
Ms. Hall, are you suggesting
all teenagers are mentally ill?
363
00:17:45,934 --> 00:17:48,718
Yes, sort of.
364
00:17:48,719 --> 00:17:54,289
From the age of 12 to 17,
the body is in a state of flux.
365
00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:57,292
Teens are flooded
with hormones
366
00:17:57,293 --> 00:18:00,121
that make them miserable, reactionary.
367
00:18:00,122 --> 00:18:02,384
But their
prefrontal cortex isn't
368
00:18:02,385 --> 00:18:04,517
yet developed enough
to override
369
00:18:04,518 --> 00:18:07,302
those emotions with reason.
370
00:18:07,303 --> 00:18:09,000
And Cassie Moore?
371
00:18:10,393 --> 00:18:13,526
There are aspects of our work
that Cassie has asked me
372
00:18:13,527 --> 00:18:18,574
to keep private, but I can
tell you that developmentally,
373
00:18:18,575 --> 00:18:22,883
Cassie is a very young 15.
374
00:18:22,884 --> 00:18:25,494
COVID stole her mother.
375
00:18:25,495 --> 00:18:29,237
That led to severe anxiety.
376
00:18:29,238 --> 00:18:33,415
Cassie lacks impulse control
and sound judgment,
377
00:18:33,416 --> 00:18:36,592
even by the standards
of a 15-year-old.
378
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:39,988
She needs help, not prison.
379
00:18:41,163 --> 00:18:42,903
Nothing further, Your Honor.
380
00:18:42,904 --> 00:18:44,514
Mr. Price.
381
00:18:49,215 --> 00:18:52,347
Ms. Hall, here is the law.
382
00:18:52,348 --> 00:18:56,525
Age is not a shield
from accountability
383
00:18:56,526 --> 00:19:00,616
when the mind demonstrates
adult-level intent
384
00:19:00,617 --> 00:19:02,183
and understanding.
385
00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:05,839
So let's talk about that.
386
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,189
Are you aware that
Cassie Moore acknowledged
387
00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:10,757
to police that this was
a premeditated act?
388
00:19:10,758 --> 00:19:14,456
No, I'm aware that Cassie
discussed her actions
389
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:16,110
with the police,
but I'm not prepared
390
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:18,025
to label it a premeditated act.
391
00:19:18,026 --> 00:19:20,984
Or that Cassie has
confessed that she took pains
392
00:19:20,985 --> 00:19:22,899
to learn Todd's
schedule that day,
393
00:19:22,900 --> 00:19:24,162
so she'd know when
he'd be in the park,
394
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,860
that she scouted
the park earlier
395
00:19:26,861 --> 00:19:29,993
to choose a secluded area?
396
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:37,610
No, I was not aware of that.
397
00:19:37,611 --> 00:19:40,265
She set out that day
with lethal intent.
398
00:19:40,266 --> 00:19:42,223
She carried out this murder.
399
00:19:42,224 --> 00:19:44,312
She covered her tracks
by disposing of the weapon
400
00:19:44,313 --> 00:19:46,488
and stealing
the victim's cell phone.
401
00:19:46,489 --> 00:19:49,317
Ms. Hall...
402
00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:52,581
in your professional opinion,
403
00:19:52,582 --> 00:19:55,193
do those sound like
the actions of a child?
404
00:19:55,194 --> 00:20:00,850
Or does that sound
like adult-level intent
405
00:20:00,851 --> 00:20:02,983
and understanding?
406
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:16,214
I heard we won the hearing.
407
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:19,391
And that your friend was
a witness.
408
00:20:19,392 --> 00:20:21,436
Not ideal.
409
00:20:21,437 --> 00:20:24,134
Uh, Nick,
410
00:20:24,135 --> 00:20:28,226
I think we should
offer Cassie Moore a deal.
411
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:30,271
The facts of this case
say murder.
412
00:20:30,272 --> 00:20:32,578
The facts say adult crime.
413
00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:34,362
But I'm looking
at this defendant,
414
00:20:34,363 --> 00:20:38,149
and I see a wounded
15-year-old girl.
415
00:20:40,761 --> 00:20:43,111
Is this you talking or Grace?
416
00:20:44,417 --> 00:20:45,808
Me.
417
00:20:45,809 --> 00:20:47,723
It is my job to win this thing.
418
00:20:47,724 --> 00:20:51,292
What I'm telling you is that
if I see that side of Cassie,
419
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,381
how are 12 people
on the jury going to respond,
420
00:20:53,382 --> 00:20:55,470
12 human beings?
421
00:20:55,471 --> 00:20:58,257
Even with the facts
on our side.
422
00:21:01,956 --> 00:21:03,783
All right.
423
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:05,306
I'll offer it up.
424
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:07,701
Man One, 12 years,
nothing less.
425
00:21:10,138 --> 00:21:14,141
We are not without
sympathy for your client.
426
00:21:14,142 --> 00:21:17,405
The circumstances,
the strain she was under
427
00:21:17,406 --> 00:21:19,059
when she carried
out this attack,
428
00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:20,974
her age, of course.
429
00:21:20,975 --> 00:21:23,237
So we're open
to discussing a deal.
430
00:21:23,238 --> 00:21:25,500
If she pleads guilty
to Man One,
431
00:21:25,501 --> 00:21:27,589
we'll recommend 12 years,
first six in juvie.
432
00:21:27,590 --> 00:21:31,027
Then when she's 21, she'll
transfer to adult prison.
433
00:21:31,028 --> 00:21:34,292
She's probably out
when she's 22, 23.
434
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:36,685
She can have a life.
435
00:21:36,686 --> 00:21:40,080
No, we're not interested.
436
00:21:40,081 --> 00:21:42,909
Erin, this is a good offer.
437
00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:46,478
My client and her father are
committed to trying this case.
438
00:21:46,479 --> 00:21:48,567
They believe she did
nothing wrong.
439
00:21:48,568 --> 00:21:52,354
So "only" eight years in prison
is not an option.
440
00:21:53,877 --> 00:21:58,316
Okay, that's fine, but just
know this is a one-time offer.
441
00:21:58,317 --> 00:22:00,709
And the evidence against
your client is overwhelming.
442
00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:02,450
Well, not for long.
443
00:22:02,451 --> 00:22:04,758
Motion to suppress
Cassie's confession.
444
00:22:07,761 --> 00:22:10,066
It's true that Ms. Moore
did not have
445
00:22:10,067 --> 00:22:11,372
an adult present
when she confessed.
446
00:22:11,373 --> 00:22:13,069
But that's irrelevant here.
447
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:15,333
To question a minor,
law enforcement's only
448
00:22:15,334 --> 00:22:18,161
legally required to notify
an interested adult
449
00:22:18,162 --> 00:22:19,902
and confirm
the minor understands
450
00:22:19,903 --> 00:22:21,382
their Miranda Rights.
451
00:22:21,383 --> 00:22:22,818
And the police did
both of those things.
452
00:22:22,819 --> 00:22:25,386
Your Honor, Lieutenant Brady
deliberately waited
453
00:22:25,387 --> 00:22:27,475
until Cassie's father
left the room to question her.
454
00:22:27,476 --> 00:22:29,303
There is no evidence of that.
455
00:22:29,304 --> 00:22:31,174
And even if it were true,
456
00:22:31,175 --> 00:22:33,089
it still would not violate
the law, Your Honor.
457
00:22:33,090 --> 00:22:34,743
She knew if she could
get Cassie alone,
458
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:37,180
she could exploit her youth,
her vulnerability.
459
00:22:37,181 --> 00:22:39,574
Lieutenant Brady wasn't
actively questioning her
460
00:22:39,575 --> 00:22:41,097
at that moment.
461
00:22:41,098 --> 00:22:43,186
Lieutenant Brady had food
brought in for the defendant.
462
00:22:43,187 --> 00:22:45,754
Then Cassie started talking.
463
00:22:45,755 --> 00:22:47,234
Your Honor, please.
464
00:22:47,235 --> 00:22:49,018
It wasn't some stupid
bag of potato chips
465
00:22:49,019 --> 00:22:50,193
that got Cassie talking.
466
00:22:50,194 --> 00:22:51,543
It was evidence.
467
00:22:51,544 --> 00:22:54,372
Lieutenant Brady is
a decorated veteran officer
468
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:56,504
who knew exactly how
it would unfold
469
00:22:56,505 --> 00:22:59,420
after she happened
to show that photograph
470
00:22:59,421 --> 00:23:02,118
to this emotionally shattered
15-year-old girl.
471
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,034
It was a cynical
and intentional ploy.
472
00:23:05,035 --> 00:23:06,558
It worked.
473
00:23:06,559 --> 00:23:09,169
It doesn't mean the court
has to stand for it.
474
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:11,171
I agree.
It's out.
475
00:23:11,172 --> 00:23:12,390
Your Honor--
476
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:14,262
That's your cue to leave,
Mr. Price.
477
00:23:16,090 --> 00:23:18,483
Okay, so the confession
is out.
478
00:23:18,484 --> 00:23:20,267
Not that big of a surprise.
479
00:23:20,268 --> 00:23:21,834
No, but this is.
480
00:23:21,835 --> 00:23:24,664
Cassie's attorney is now
alleging self-defense.
481
00:23:26,274 --> 00:23:27,883
Makes sense.
482
00:23:27,884 --> 00:23:30,190
Once the judge kicked
out the confession,
483
00:23:30,191 --> 00:23:32,148
this case becomes
she said, he said.
484
00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:33,802
And "he" is dead.
485
00:23:33,803 --> 00:23:36,849
So they invented this
self-defense claim.
486
00:23:36,850 --> 00:23:39,547
Now we know why they
rejected the plea.
487
00:23:39,548 --> 00:23:42,158
Good news is,
the evidence is in our favor.
488
00:23:42,159 --> 00:23:44,334
Cassie clearly planned
this attack.
489
00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:45,945
She stabbed the victim
in the back,
490
00:23:45,946 --> 00:23:47,294
hid the murder weapon.
491
00:23:47,295 --> 00:23:49,035
Make that the focus
of your case,
492
00:23:49,036 --> 00:23:50,732
the evidence, the facts.
493
00:23:50,733 --> 00:23:53,300
Despite her age and the
unfortunate circumstances
494
00:23:53,301 --> 00:23:55,476
leading up to this crime,
495
00:23:55,477 --> 00:23:58,611
those jurors need to realize
this was a cold-blooded murder.
496
00:24:04,094 --> 00:24:05,747
Lieutenant Brady,
could you read
497
00:24:05,748 --> 00:24:08,533
the highlighted portion of
the medical examiner's report
498
00:24:08,534 --> 00:24:10,578
regarding the victim,
Todd Feldman?
499
00:24:10,579 --> 00:24:13,233
Decedent sustained
three sharp force injuries
500
00:24:13,234 --> 00:24:14,626
to the neck and upper back.
501
00:24:14,627 --> 00:24:16,541
Cause of death is
massive hemorrhage
502
00:24:16,542 --> 00:24:19,935
from bilateral vertebral
artery transections.
503
00:24:19,936 --> 00:24:21,459
Layman's terms?
504
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,504
Mr. Feldman was
stabbed three times.
505
00:24:23,505 --> 00:24:25,898
And the blade severed the
arteries that provide blood
506
00:24:25,899 --> 00:24:27,552
to the brain and spinal cord.
507
00:24:27,553 --> 00:24:31,120
How many homicides have you
investigated in your career?
508
00:24:31,121 --> 00:24:33,645
145, give or take.
509
00:24:33,646 --> 00:24:36,952
In your experience, do those
who are defending themselves
510
00:24:36,953 --> 00:24:38,693
stab people in the back?
511
00:24:38,694 --> 00:24:40,695
No, they do not.
512
00:24:40,696 --> 00:24:43,132
This bead detectives
discovered
513
00:24:43,133 --> 00:24:45,134
at the crime scene
near the body,
514
00:24:45,135 --> 00:24:46,527
when you explained to Ms. Moore
515
00:24:46,528 --> 00:24:49,138
that you had found her bead,
what did she do?
516
00:24:49,139 --> 00:24:53,012
She claimed that she had
lost hers two years prior.
517
00:24:53,013 --> 00:24:57,320
Obviously, that bead put her at
the crime scene, so she lied.
518
00:24:57,321 --> 00:24:59,888
Objection.
That's speculation.
519
00:24:59,889 --> 00:25:01,455
Sustained.
520
00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:03,326
When you first questioned
Ms. Moore, did she tell you
521
00:25:03,327 --> 00:25:05,111
that Todd Feldman
had threatened her?
522
00:25:05,112 --> 00:25:06,504
No.
523
00:25:06,505 --> 00:25:08,244
Did she tell you she was
afraid for her life,
524
00:25:08,245 --> 00:25:10,159
that she acted in self-defense?
525
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,685
No, she did not.
526
00:25:15,557 --> 00:25:18,211
Ms. Coleman,
like Todd Feldman,
527
00:25:18,212 --> 00:25:21,040
you're a member of Northwood
Academy marching band, correct?
528
00:25:21,041 --> 00:25:23,172
Right, we both play trumpet.
529
00:25:23,173 --> 00:25:24,652
So on the evening
of September 4th,
530
00:25:24,653 --> 00:25:27,263
you had reason to stay after
school with Mr. Feldman?
531
00:25:27,264 --> 00:25:28,787
We had a long practice
after school
532
00:25:28,788 --> 00:25:30,702
to get ready
for a competition.
533
00:25:30,703 --> 00:25:33,443
Did you receive messages from
Ms. Moore while you were there?
534
00:25:33,444 --> 00:25:36,098
Yes, on Snap.
535
00:25:36,099 --> 00:25:38,579
She asked me to tell her
what time practice was over,
536
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:40,581
so I did.
537
00:25:40,582 --> 00:25:42,148
Did she say anything else?
538
00:25:42,149 --> 00:25:44,193
No.
539
00:25:44,194 --> 00:25:47,719
She was just acting
really weird.
540
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,330
I'd seen her earlier
in the day at school.
541
00:25:50,331 --> 00:25:54,116
She was crying in a stairwell
about the picture and stuff.
542
00:25:54,117 --> 00:25:58,294
We're friends, so I just kind
of asked her if she was okay.
543
00:25:58,295 --> 00:25:59,818
What'd she say?
544
00:26:07,609 --> 00:26:09,262
No.
545
00:26:09,263 --> 00:26:12,005
But I will be soon.
546
00:26:16,270 --> 00:26:19,272
I thought I could trust Todd.
547
00:26:19,273 --> 00:26:22,057
I had for years.
548
00:26:22,058 --> 00:26:25,713
I mean, we started at
kindergarten at the same time.
549
00:26:25,714 --> 00:26:29,021
And it was only
a few years after that,
550
00:26:29,022 --> 00:26:31,806
once we realized how close
we lived to each other,
551
00:26:31,807 --> 00:26:33,808
that we started walking
home from school,
552
00:26:33,809 --> 00:26:36,463
cutting through
the park every day.
553
00:26:36,464 --> 00:26:39,988
And as the years went on,
we kind of knew
554
00:26:39,989 --> 00:26:42,034
everything about each other.
555
00:26:42,035 --> 00:26:46,995
And we taught each other how
to ride bikes, all that stuff.
556
00:26:46,996 --> 00:26:52,436
He was the brother
I never had, basically.
557
00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:56,439
Your Honor, I would like
to show the jury privately
558
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,921
the image Mr. Feldman
manufactured using AI.
559
00:26:59,922 --> 00:27:01,489
Go ahead.
560
00:27:03,099 --> 00:27:05,623
What happened after
this altered photo
561
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,538
circulated at school?
562
00:27:09,018 --> 00:27:11,454
My life ended.
563
00:27:11,455 --> 00:27:13,674
Todd sent it to three kids.
564
00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:16,765
Someone put it on Snap,
and it was everywhere.
565
00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:20,942
And our school can be so mean.
566
00:27:20,943 --> 00:27:25,686
People were--were laughing
at me, calling me a slut.
567
00:27:25,687 --> 00:27:29,603
I mean, I've never even
kissed anyone before.
568
00:27:29,604 --> 00:27:32,345
Why did you go to the
park that night, Cassie?
569
00:27:32,346 --> 00:27:34,739
I texted Todd
three or four times
570
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:36,479
to try to get him
to tell everyone
571
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,050
that the photo was fake,
but he left me on read.
572
00:27:42,617 --> 00:27:47,926
Just thought that if
I could see him in person,
573
00:27:47,927 --> 00:27:50,319
if I could just have
a heart-to-heart
574
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,930
without anyone else around,
575
00:27:51,931 --> 00:27:55,411
if he could just see
what I was going through--
576
00:27:55,412 --> 00:27:59,154
everything just felt
so out of control.
577
00:27:59,155 --> 00:28:00,766
What did he say that night?
578
00:28:02,681 --> 00:28:05,204
He said he couldn't.
579
00:28:05,205 --> 00:28:09,512
He said he didn't want his
friends to know the truth.
580
00:28:09,513 --> 00:28:12,952
So I told him that
I would tell the cops, and--
581
00:28:15,215 --> 00:28:19,609
And the next thing I knew,
his hand was around my neck,
582
00:28:19,610 --> 00:28:21,786
squeezing hard.
583
00:28:21,787 --> 00:28:25,267
And I told him to stop,
but he wouldn't.
584
00:28:25,268 --> 00:28:27,313
And I just--I just panicked.
585
00:28:27,314 --> 00:28:29,010
But I didn't mean to kill him.
586
00:28:29,011 --> 00:28:30,970
I'm so sorry.
587
00:28:32,754 --> 00:28:34,712
If you were
defending yourself,
588
00:28:34,713 --> 00:28:38,237
why did you stab
Todd in the back?
589
00:28:38,238 --> 00:28:42,850
When I went to stab him,
he turned his back on me.
590
00:28:42,851 --> 00:28:44,896
And why did you have
a knife with you?
591
00:28:44,897 --> 00:28:46,680
For protection.
592
00:28:46,681 --> 00:28:48,377
My--my dad got it for me.
593
00:28:48,378 --> 00:28:50,336
I carried it all the time.
594
00:28:50,337 --> 00:28:52,338
I walked through the park
by myself a lot.
595
00:28:52,339 --> 00:28:55,037
You carried it
for self-defense.
596
00:28:56,865 --> 00:28:59,867
And then you used it
in self-defense
597
00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:02,957
because you were reasonably
afraid for your life.
598
00:29:02,958 --> 00:29:04,654
Yeah.
599
00:29:04,655 --> 00:29:06,569
I mean, Todd was twice my size.
600
00:29:06,570 --> 00:29:08,528
And he said he was
going to kill me.
601
00:29:14,361 --> 00:29:16,102
Nothing further.
602
00:29:19,496 --> 00:29:22,890
When you were afraid
for your life,
603
00:29:22,891 --> 00:29:25,589
did you--did you run
and scream?
604
00:29:26,590 --> 00:29:27,939
No.
605
00:29:27,940 --> 00:29:32,770
Then--and after
you plunged a knife
606
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:36,425
into Todd Feldman's back
three different times,
607
00:29:36,426 --> 00:29:39,603
did you call 911, the police?
608
00:29:40,996 --> 00:29:42,388
No.
609
00:29:42,389 --> 00:29:43,869
Why not?
610
00:29:46,915 --> 00:29:50,918
Because I knew
how it would look.
611
00:29:50,919 --> 00:29:54,183
Yes, real bad.
612
00:29:55,663 --> 00:29:58,404
If you were truly acting
in self-defense,
613
00:29:58,405 --> 00:30:03,626
why go through the trouble
of stealing Todd's phone?
614
00:30:03,627 --> 00:30:06,978
Why go through the trouble
of posing as Todd,
615
00:30:06,979 --> 00:30:10,938
texting his friends four
minutes after Todd was dead
616
00:30:10,939 --> 00:30:13,636
and telling them to delete
the doctored photo?
617
00:30:17,598 --> 00:30:22,254
You have no idea
what it is like
618
00:30:22,255 --> 00:30:27,389
to have a photo of yourself
passed around like this,
619
00:30:27,390 --> 00:30:29,739
everyone laughing at you,
620
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:32,133
enjoying your humiliation.
621
00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:42,623
Nothing further, Your Honor.
622
00:30:44,190 --> 00:30:47,192
Court is adjourned
until 8:30 a.m.
623
00:30:48,672 --> 00:30:50,718
We are losing the jury.
624
00:30:55,288 --> 00:30:57,855
So the self-defense
claim is working?
625
00:30:57,856 --> 00:30:59,421
They're attacking
the victim,
626
00:30:59,422 --> 00:31:00,988
turning him into something
he wasn't.
627
00:31:00,989 --> 00:31:02,947
A bully.
628
00:31:02,948 --> 00:31:06,864
And Cassie is
a compelling witness.
629
00:31:06,865 --> 00:31:08,561
A very good liar, of course.
630
00:31:08,562 --> 00:31:10,911
Are you saying
the jury's on her side?
631
00:31:10,912 --> 00:31:13,087
It looks that way.
632
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:16,525
I mean, we're asking the jury
to go to bat for a boy
633
00:31:16,526 --> 00:31:18,484
who violated one
of his oldest friends
634
00:31:18,485 --> 00:31:21,226
to curry favor with a bunch
of girl-hating idiots.
635
00:31:21,227 --> 00:31:24,359
There's an "I told you so"
in there somewhere.
636
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,188
I'm just trying
to get the result you want.
637
00:31:27,189 --> 00:31:29,147
She murdered
this kid Feldman,
638
00:31:29,148 --> 00:31:31,410
stabbed him repeatedly.
639
00:31:31,411 --> 00:31:35,153
Yes, he did something stupid,
something cowardly.
640
00:31:35,154 --> 00:31:36,981
But he was just a kid too.
641
00:31:36,982 --> 00:31:38,721
Yeah, it's
a complicated case.
642
00:31:38,722 --> 00:31:39,940
We offered Man One.
643
00:31:39,941 --> 00:31:41,420
They said no.
644
00:31:41,421 --> 00:31:42,682
I get it, I do.
645
00:31:42,683 --> 00:31:44,205
I'm just trying to do my job.
646
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:46,555
And right now, we need
evidence to rebut
647
00:31:46,556 --> 00:31:49,732
the self-defense claim,
or she's gonna walk.
648
00:31:49,733 --> 00:31:51,953
So get to work.
649
00:31:59,178 --> 00:32:00,569
This is hopeless.
650
00:32:02,181 --> 00:32:04,922
I don't know how we're
gonna get this jury back.
651
00:32:04,923 --> 00:32:06,663
Oh, ye of little faith.
652
00:32:08,448 --> 00:32:12,320
I asked TARU to do another
deep dive on Cassie's devices.
653
00:32:12,321 --> 00:32:15,062
Turns out, she has
a finsta account.
654
00:32:15,063 --> 00:32:16,629
A finsta?
655
00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:19,066
Yeah, it's like a hidden,
alternate Instagram account
656
00:32:19,067 --> 00:32:21,286
designed to fly
under the radar.
657
00:32:21,287 --> 00:32:24,419
Cassie used a fake name,
Lizzie Bennet.
658
00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:26,639
Like "Pride and Prejudice."
659
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,597
She's got good taste,
I'll give her that.
660
00:32:28,598 --> 00:32:30,730
That explains why the techs
couldn't find the account.
661
00:32:30,731 --> 00:32:36,084
Yeah, it looks like
she used it to send some DMs.
662
00:32:38,304 --> 00:32:40,523
You won't believe
who she sent them to.
663
00:32:53,623 --> 00:32:56,321
You and I, we were
together that day,
664
00:32:56,322 --> 00:32:58,540
the day of the murder.
665
00:32:58,541 --> 00:33:00,890
You were telling me
about the kid who
666
00:33:00,891 --> 00:33:03,589
couldn't go to Cornell because
he was terrified of telephones.
667
00:33:03,590 --> 00:33:06,896
And Cassie, she was the
kid who was calling you
668
00:33:06,897 --> 00:33:08,811
and texting you all the--
669
00:33:08,812 --> 00:33:10,161
Nolan, slow down.
670
00:33:10,162 --> 00:33:14,078
Cassie called
and texted you repeatedly
671
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:15,993
minutes before the murder.
672
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:17,820
Is that right?
673
00:33:17,821 --> 00:33:19,779
Yes, she was venting.
674
00:33:19,780 --> 00:33:21,085
Venting about what?
675
00:33:21,086 --> 00:33:23,000
About the fake photo,
about Todd?
676
00:33:23,001 --> 00:33:24,740
Yes, she was very upset.
677
00:33:24,741 --> 00:33:26,046
She was traumatized.
678
00:33:26,047 --> 00:33:27,700
What did she say?
679
00:33:27,701 --> 00:33:30,050
What were her exact words?
680
00:33:30,051 --> 00:33:33,314
You know I can't
tell you that.
681
00:33:33,315 --> 00:33:36,665
Grace, she was en route
to murder someone.
682
00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:40,060
And she called you
and texted you on the way.
683
00:33:40,061 --> 00:33:41,235
Hell, she might
have already been
684
00:33:41,236 --> 00:33:42,628
waiting for him in the park.
685
00:33:42,629 --> 00:33:44,021
Nolan, please, please.
686
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:46,588
I really need you to understand
687
00:33:46,589 --> 00:33:49,723
just how much I care
about Cassie.
688
00:33:51,072 --> 00:33:53,769
How is that relevant?
689
00:33:53,770 --> 00:33:56,772
When her mother died, I--
690
00:33:56,773 --> 00:33:59,514
when she got her period
for the first time,
691
00:33:59,515 --> 00:34:01,864
I was the one who went
to the drugstore.
692
00:34:01,865 --> 00:34:06,043
I taught her how to shave
her legs over FaceTime.
693
00:34:06,044 --> 00:34:08,349
I--
694
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:11,049
I was--I was supposed
to protect her.
695
00:34:13,355 --> 00:34:15,618
She told you she was gonna
kill him, didn't she?
696
00:34:18,665 --> 00:34:20,405
Look, I never thought
she'd actually--
697
00:34:20,406 --> 00:34:22,189
Why--why didn't you tell me?
698
00:34:22,190 --> 00:34:24,235
Because she's been through--
699
00:34:24,236 --> 00:34:26,586
I don't want to send
her to prison.
700
00:34:31,156 --> 00:34:35,376
If you have information that
Cassie set out with the intent
701
00:34:35,377 --> 00:34:38,118
to kill Todd Feldman,
you have to testify.
702
00:34:38,119 --> 00:34:39,554
No, I can't.
703
00:34:39,555 --> 00:34:42,905
I'm afraid that's not
up to you.
704
00:34:42,906 --> 00:34:45,257
Or me, for that matter.
705
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,133
Ms. Hall, could you please
explain to the jury
706
00:34:53,134 --> 00:34:56,397
what it means to be
a hostile witness?
707
00:34:56,398 --> 00:34:59,661
It means I don't
want to be here.
708
00:34:59,662 --> 00:35:01,402
Why are you here?
709
00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:05,319
You told me if I didn't
comply with your subpoena,
710
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,715
that a warrant could be
issued for my arrest.
711
00:35:09,716 --> 00:35:12,587
How long have you served as
Cassie Moore's psychiatrist?
712
00:35:12,588 --> 00:35:16,243
I started seeing Cassie
shortly after the death
713
00:35:16,244 --> 00:35:19,072
of her mother in 2020.
714
00:35:19,073 --> 00:35:21,423
Cassie ever send you
messages through Instagram?
715
00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:27,776
Yes, she would
message me on occasion.
716
00:35:27,777 --> 00:35:30,997
I discouraged it.
717
00:35:30,998 --> 00:35:34,348
Boundaries are an important
part of any relationship
718
00:35:34,349 --> 00:35:36,959
between a mental health
professional and a patient.
719
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,615
So I preferred to talk
in regular session,
720
00:35:40,616 --> 00:35:45,534
but sometimes she needed more.
721
00:35:47,536 --> 00:35:49,798
Did the defendant send
you a series of messages
722
00:35:49,799 --> 00:35:52,497
through Instagram on
the evening of September 4th,
723
00:35:52,498 --> 00:35:55,500
the evening Todd Feldman
was killed?
724
00:35:55,501 --> 00:35:56,849
Yes.
725
00:35:56,850 --> 00:35:58,765
Do you still have
those messages?
726
00:36:01,463 --> 00:36:05,685
No, they were automatically
deleted after 24 hours.
727
00:36:07,252 --> 00:36:08,948
Can you recall
what Cassie said?
728
00:36:08,949 --> 00:36:10,254
Objection.
729
00:36:10,255 --> 00:36:12,604
Communication between
my client and Dr. Hall is
730
00:36:12,605 --> 00:36:15,128
protected by therapist-patient
confidentiality.
731
00:36:15,129 --> 00:36:16,825
Your Honor,
we've been through this.
732
00:36:16,826 --> 00:36:21,090
Duty to warn is the exception
to therapist-patient privilege.
733
00:36:21,091 --> 00:36:23,092
Overruled.
734
00:36:23,093 --> 00:36:26,139
Dr. Hall, please
answer the question.
735
00:36:31,101 --> 00:36:33,234
She said--
736
00:36:35,584 --> 00:36:41,023
She said,
"I'm going to make him pay.
737
00:36:41,024 --> 00:36:42,809
I'm going to kill him."
738
00:36:45,333 --> 00:36:47,552
Did you reply?
739
00:36:47,553 --> 00:36:48,901
Yes.
740
00:36:48,902 --> 00:36:54,123
I told her that she had
every right to be angry.
741
00:36:54,124 --> 00:36:58,215
I said, take some deep breaths
742
00:36:58,216 --> 00:37:02,175
and we would
talk it out tomorrow.
743
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,616
Tomorrow was too late.
744
00:37:10,402 --> 00:37:13,186
Yes, it was.
745
00:37:18,061 --> 00:37:20,499
Ms. Hall, uh...
746
00:37:22,152 --> 00:37:25,286
Why didn't you do more?
747
00:37:27,157 --> 00:37:28,942
Contact the authorities?
748
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:35,817
You have no idea.
749
00:37:35,818 --> 00:37:38,124
I'm sorry, could
you please speak up?
750
00:37:44,131 --> 00:37:48,395
You have no idea how much
kids suffer today.
751
00:37:48,396 --> 00:37:52,617
Anxiety, body issues,
stress, social media,
752
00:37:52,618 --> 00:37:56,882
every day, kids come to me
with death on their mind.
753
00:37:56,883 --> 00:38:00,407
Suicidal ideation,
homicidal ideation.
754
00:38:00,408 --> 00:38:03,628
I have to make
a judgment call every time.
755
00:38:03,629 --> 00:38:06,108
If I didn't,
if I wasn't discerning,
756
00:38:06,109 --> 00:38:08,937
then I might as well
just move my practice
757
00:38:08,938 --> 00:38:10,636
right into the NYPD.
758
00:38:12,072 --> 00:38:17,163
So instead, I try to offer
759
00:38:17,164 --> 00:38:20,340
a safe space, a--
760
00:38:20,341 --> 00:38:22,300
a haven.
761
00:38:24,302 --> 00:38:26,434
And I got this one wrong.
762
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:32,700
And two lives were
ruined as a result,
763
00:38:32,701 --> 00:38:36,792
Todd Feldman's
and Cassie Moore's.
764
00:38:39,578 --> 00:38:43,842
And I'll never forgive myself.
765
00:38:57,770 --> 00:39:00,554
Has the jury reached
a verdict?
766
00:39:00,555 --> 00:39:02,035
We have.
767
00:39:04,254 --> 00:39:07,126
In the charge of murder
in the second degree,
768
00:39:07,127 --> 00:39:10,870
we find the defendant,
Cassie Moore...
769
00:39:13,394 --> 00:39:14,481
Guilty.
770
00:39:16,963 --> 00:39:18,964
Oh, God, Cassie.
771
00:39:18,965 --> 00:39:22,837
Members of the jury,
thank you for your service.
772
00:39:42,031 --> 00:39:45,991
No rush, but do you want
to order some dinner?
773
00:39:45,992 --> 00:39:47,733
Uh, you know what?
774
00:39:49,517 --> 00:39:51,518
I'll give it another minute.
- Okay.
775
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:52,476
- Thank you.
- Just let me know.
776
00:39:52,477 --> 00:39:53,868
Yeah.
777
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:11,712
Hey, it's me.
778
00:40:11,713 --> 00:40:15,499
Uh, I'm at the restaurant.
779
00:40:15,500 --> 00:40:18,327
If you're not up for dinner,
I totally get it.
780
00:40:18,328 --> 00:40:20,199
But let me know.
781
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:21,679
I just want to make sure--
782
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,608
Hi.
783
00:40:37,609 --> 00:40:39,914
Sorry I'm late.
