Previously on "Bull..."

Arthur.

Wasn't sure you'd remember me
after 12 years.

- Have you got any new evidence?
- How about a signed confession?

We need these
commissioners to grant parole

to a guy who's been
convicted of double murder.

My name is Leo Craddick,

and I'm Arthur Craddick's son.

12 years of prison is enough
to break most anyone's soul.

Please extend this opportunity to him.

Hey, Detective Kaminsky,

cops who place innocent people
behind bars

need to face consequences.

This young man just threatened me.

Leonard Craddick, you are under arrest

for the murder of
Detective Joseph Kaminsky.

Anything you say... Kaminsky's dead.

_

You gonna miss it?

Not even a little.

Bus usually comes on the hour.

You might have to wait a bit.

My son's picking me up.

Guard inside just texted him for me.

Got it all planned out.

Gonna stop at the first
open pizza place we see.

Good luck, Craddick.

Says here Kaminsky
was parked across the street

from a 24-hour bodega

when he was shot in
his car at close range.

CCTV cam captured a
suspect fleeing the scene

who roughly matches
Leo's height and weight.

I would think a quarter
of the world's population

roughly matches Leo's height and weight.

Oh, boy. Here's
something. According to this,

a palm print was recovered from
the roof of the victim's car.

They're saying it's a match to Leo's.

Palm print.

A conscientious grad student
spends years

working with his inmate father,
pouring over court documents,

filing motions, tracking down witnesses,

and they finally get their day in court,

and suddenly, murder is the only
way they can get what they want.

I don't care what they say
they found on that guy's car.

I don't buy it.

Hey, stranger, need a lift?

Mr. Colón.

Mr. Craddick.

I can't. Uh, I'm waiting for Leo.

He should be along any minute.

Actually, uh, Leo has been detained.

Hey, Leo.

Look, I'm trying every trick in the book

to get you out of here, but you
are accused of killing a cop,

- so the likelihood...
- I know.

Okay.

By the way, we spoke with your landlord.

Told him
your father had been exonerated,

and he said he was fine with
letting your dad stay there.

Benny's picking him up
at prison right now.

Thank you.

Mr. Craddick,

my name's Chester Palmer.

I'm an attorney in Dr. Bull's office.

He and I will be spearheading your case.

And what is my case?

On what basis am I being
accused of this crime?

What in the world did I have to gain

- by killing a police detective?
- Well,

Leo, it's only the morning after.

We don't have a lot of answers.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Am I being impatient
with the wheels of justice?

I certainly didn't mean to be rude.

It's only my freedom.

It's only my life.

I would like to know.

Why am I here?

You want to know the truth?

You look the part.

Yeah?

Well, so do you.

- Kind of.
- Yeah. Not really.

I aged out of that angry
young Black man category

a long time ago, but you...
You fit the profile perfectly.

Which is why the most important thing

that we have to do right now

is remind them
that you are not that person.

You are an educated,
socially-engaged young citizen.

And that this is an incredible
miscarriage of justice.

So we're gonna need you
to take it on good faith

that we're doing everything
that we can as fast as we can.

Don't have much choice, do I?

Let's start at the beginning.

They know exactly what time

that detective was shot... 11:19 p.m.

So we need to know... where were
you two nights ago at 11:19?

I was at home. Asleep.

Is there anyone who can verify that?

- Verify that I was asleep?
- Mm.

No. I live alone.

So you don't have an alibi?

Guess not.
Didn't know I'd be needing one.

You know they found your handprint

on Detective Kaminsky's car.

Well... there you go.

That's simply not possible.

Unless the cops planted it,
which I'm sure they did.

Okay, well, we'll continue
to investigate that possibility.

We'll take nothing for granted,

but why don't we give some thought as to

how that print could have
legitimately gotten there?

Hey, man, I didn't even know
the man had a car.

I wouldn't know Kaminsky's car
if it ran over me.

Okay, but you were seen verbally
accosting him at the courthouse.

He locked up an innocent man.

He robbed me of my father
for over 12 years.

We're just trying to give you an
idea of what you're up against here.

But I didn't do it.

Again, why would I do it?
How does it help me?

He's a cop,

and you're a man who's
shown anger towards the cops

for reasons that make
perfect sense to the two of us.

But that anger

in a courtroom

is gonna play right into
the district attorney's hands.

Let's get down to it here.

Leo, you ever attend any demonstrations,

rallies, protests that would
be considered anti-police?

What do you think?

You ever speak at any of these rallies?

- Lead any of these rallies?
- I certainly have.

And would the D.A.'s office
recognize the name

of any of these groups
that you were associated with?

You ever heard of Black Lives Matter?

Say the name.

There is no fear in that name.

It is a simple statement of fact.

Black... Lives... Matter.

No one is disagreeing with you.

We're just trying to figure out
how to defend you.

Curfew's 10:00 p.m.

Failure to make curfew,

failure of any random drug screening,

failure to secure employment

and/or failure to notify of any change

of employment or residence,

and your parole is subject
to revocation.

- Understood?
- Yes, ma'am, I understand.

Officer Schiraldi, my client
has a special request.

Now, his son is currently
being held at Rikers,

and we were hoping
that you would be willing

to authorize such a visit.

I'm sorry, but that is not possible.

Well, you should know

that A.D.A. Glover has filed a motion

to vacate the conviction
against my client,

which we are very confident
will be granted.

And since my client has been
barred from the courtroom

due to COVID restrictions,
we were hoping

that you would make an exception.

I understand you have a job to do,

but I have been away
from my son for over 12 years,

and now he needs me.

I understand.

But in my experience,

allowing felons to visit prisons
is just asking for trouble.

Now, once you're exonerated,

you are free to do what you want.

But in the meantime, I'm sorry,
the answer is still no.

Urine sample.

I need to walk him down to the bathroom.

You mind showing us where it is?

Mr. Palmer,

you have a pretrial motion
you'd like the court to hear

with regard to some
of the prosecution's evidence?

Yes, Your Honor.

I'm requesting permission
to exclude any mention

of my client's involvement
with Black Lives Matter

or photographic evidence
of affiliation with same.

With the court's permission,

we'd like to direct
your attention to the monitors

that are at the front of the courtroom.

Now, I would like to make note

that investigations
after the fact proved

that the police car in
this photo was set on fire

by people who are not
associated with my client

or the Black Lives Matter movement.

Nonetheless, the prosecution would like

to present this photo
solely with the purpose

of inflaming the jury.

Now, given the intense
media coverage of this trial

and the current climate
with regards to law enforcement,

inclusion of photos like these

would only serve to paint a misleading

and unduly prejudicial portrait
of my client.

I don't think it's prejudicial at all.

The defendant has a lengthy
and well-documented history

of anti-police sentiment

masquerading as protected speech.

Your Honor, the A.D.A. is clearly

mistaken in this regard.

Black Lives Matter is not
opposed to the police.

Black Lives Matter is opposed
to police killing Black people.

And the prosecution is trying
to paint this organization

and, by extension, my client,

as being extremist
and anti-law enforcement.

All for the crime

of simply affirming the value
of Black life.

All right, Mr. Palmer.

Your impassioned entreaty
has not fallen on deaf ears.

I agree.

I find that the mention
of Mr. Craddick's involvement

in Black Lives Matter is irrelevant

and unduly prejudicial,

and I'm granting your motion.

There are to be no references
to Black Lives Matter

or the defendant's
association therewith.

Is that clear?

Yes, Your Honor.

That was too easy. Why don't I trust it?

Because you're Jason Bull,
super smart cynic.

You've been talking
to my much better half.

Your Honor, we have

a second motion
for the court's consideration.

I ask that we exclude

any reference to the defendant's
prior conviction

for criminal mischief.

My client was one
of over 200 people arrested

after a Black Lives Matter
demonstration became overrun

with people not associated
with his group,

but who were there solely for purpose

of looting and vandalizing.

He couldn't afford counsel,
he spent a night in jail.

For these spurious charges
to be used against him...

It seems unjust and unfair, Your Honor.

Ms. Olson, care to respond?

Your Honor, as Mr. Palmer is well aware,

if his client chooses to take
the stand in his own defense,

he can be cross-examined
about prior crimes

that bear on his credibility.

To arbitrarily deny me the opportunity

to share this conviction
with the jury seems...

How did you put it?

Unjust and unfair?

And it is.

To the state, which believes
Mr. Craddick is guilty

of murdering a police officer
in cold blood.

And I would also point out to the court,

violence against police officers
seems to be

a common feature of these rallies.

And whether that violence is instigated

by the sponsoring organization

or outsiders who seize the opportunity

to indulge in mayhem
is beside the point.

The point... the only point...

Is that Mr. Craddick
has been arrested and convicted

in the past.

And that is something that
the jury has a right to know.

Told ya.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh way.

Come on, no one's
taken away anything yet.

While I still believe
Mr. Craddick's association

with Black Lives Matter
should remain out of bounds,

if he does choose to take the stand

in his own defense

and personally asserts his innocence,

I believe...

his criminal history
should be admissible

to impeach his credibility.

Told ya.

But, Your Honor,

you're essentially taking away
his ability to testify

on his own behalf.

I've issued my ruling, Mr. Palmer.

If Mr. Craddick testifies,

the arrest is admissible.

Just got off the phone with Bull.

He was curious what kind
of progress you were making.

Actually, I was just staring

at Detective Kaminsky's
phone bill as we speak.

For what it's worth, in the
weeks leading up to his murder,

he received dozens of calls

from a host of different burner phones.

Well, that sounds promising.

Maybe. Danny told me
when she was in the NYPD

they'd give out burner phones

to all the confidential informants.

Gave them out like Handi Wipes,
she said.

Veteran cop like Kaminsky,
he probably had dozens

of confidential informants.

The thing is, I don't know

who's on the other end of these calls.

I can't see any of the texts.
I can't hear any of the calls.

I can't tell any of that from a bill.

Well, it's a start. My guess is

tomorrow we will file
a motion for discovery

so that we can get access
to the physical phone.

That way, we can read any texts,

listen to any voice mails.

And in the meantime,

Danny'll keep trying
to track these burners,

see if we can find out
who he gave them to.

There's got to be
a record of it somewhere.

- You want to talk juries?
- Sure.

I think this morning's gonna be
all about belief perseverance.

Belief perseverance?

People who insist on holding on
to something they believe in

even in the face of new information

that contradicts that belief.

Where I come from, people
just call that "stubborn."

"Stubborn" works, too.

We definitely want to eliminate
or least minimize the stubborn.

The job is gonna be to convince our jury

that the police investigation
was compromised from the start.

They zeroed right in on Leo.

They barely investigated,
'cause they had their theory.

And they held on to that theory

to the exclusion of any other
information or possibilities.

Now, that's the narrative.

For that argument to stick,

we need jurors whose first
impressions are malleable

to new information, new evidence.

We need people who aren't stubborn.

Any hopeless romantics here today?

Anyone here believe

in love at first sight?

Oh.

You, ma'am.

Any reason in particular

you don't believe people
can fall in love at first sight?

My first date with
my now husband was a disaster.

First, he went to the wrong restaurant,

so he was 20 minutes late.

And when he finally got there,
he was so nervous,

he dumped a glass of wine
on my favorite blouse.

And then, to top it off,

he left his wallet in the cab,

- so I had to pay for dinner.
- Oh.

But he made me laugh,

so I gave him another chance.

A few more chances, actually.

And all that's to say is that,

even when you think you know,

you don't know.

Lady doesn't go all in
on first impressions.

We like it.

Or don't we?

No, I think we do.

She reads websites from all
sides of the political spectrum,

is registered as an independent

and she and her husband

just celebrated their 35th anniversary.

From where I'm sitting,
she's our dream juror.

Juror number 19.

Love at first sight: You in, you out?

Well, I'm not saying
I don't believe in it.

I mean, I like the idea of it.

Who wouldn't like to live in
a world where you could be sure

just by looking at someone?

But...

it's like she just said, you never know.

Sounds like someone willing to
hear both sides of an argument.

What are we looking at here, Marissa?

Willard Goss.

24 years old. Family owns Goss Uniforms,

an apparel company that provides
clothing and accessories to...

among other organizations,

the NYPD.

Well, that's that, isn't it?

And how about you, miss?

Love at first sight?

I don't think so.

Care to explain?

Because it's a myth,

a fairy tale.

The advertising agencies,

the greeting card companies,
Hollywood...

It's a tale they tell
to separate you from your money.

Sounds like someone who doesn't
budge once her mind is made up.

You don't know the half of it.

Her social media is scorched earth.

Movies, music, food...

She's posting 500 words
on why you're wrong.

If this woman doesn't like
something about Leo,

she'll be a nightmare on the jury.

We'd like to thank

and excuse juror number 30, Your Honor.

Your Honor,

before you dismiss this juror,

may we be heard in chambers?

Your Honor, I count six total jurors

eliminated by the defense.

All six are white.

As I'm sure you're aware,

Batson v. Kentucky explicitly
prohibits jury eliminations

based on race.

Your Honor, as the A.D.A. is well aware,

the Batson ruling was
specifically intended to address

the exclusion of Black people
from serving as jurors.

Yes. When it was originally
issued, that was the case.

But the Supreme Court has since
expanded its ruling on Batson

to ensure no citizen is disqualified

from jury service based on race.

Equal protection, Your Honor.

That's all well and good, but,

Your Honor, none of these
strikes were discriminatory.

Each and every choice was
based on scientific analysis

and had nothing whatsoever

- to do with race.
- Really?

Hmm. And we're just supposed
to accept that

because you assert it?

With all due respect, Dr. Bull,

it may or may not be true.

But what is true, what is unassailable,

is that all of your jury strikes

were exercised against Caucasians.

I don't doubt your methods, Dr. Bull,

but it's hard to disagree
with A.D.A. Olson's point.

Out of an abundance of caution,

I'm not going to allow you
to strike juror number 30.

Your Honor...

She stays, Mr. Palmer.

Mrs. Kaminsky,

did your late husband ever mention

Leo Craddick to you?

Not by name.

Joe never talked about his cases.

So, I-I'm confused
when you say "not by name."

Have you ever met Leo Craddick?

Yes, I have.

And can you tell us when
and where you met the defendant?

It was during the trial
involving the father.

Joe went to testify and told me

he ran into the man's son in the hall.

He didn't say so, but...

you could tell it rattled him.

Otherwise, he never
would have mentioned it.

Hmm.

Anyway, since he was in court

that day, he left me the car.

He was going to take the train home

after he was done at the station house,

but I offered to pick him up.

And when I got there,

I went to park in Joe's spot.

And as soon as I did, a man walked over.

And do you see
that man in the courtroom?

I do.

It's him.

And what happened when he walked over?

He asked me if I knew that this
was Detective Kaminsky's spot.

And what did you say?

I said I did.

I mean, there was a sign.

So, did that seem
like a strange question to you?

Objection. Counsel
is leading the witness.

Objection sustained.

Rephrase the question, please.

Can you describe

what you did when the defendant asked

if the spot belonged
to Detective Kaminsky?

I told him it did.

And then I instantly regretted it.

Why?

I don't know.

There was something desperate about him.

About the question.

He said he had gone
into the station house

and asked to see Joe,

but they wouldn't even tell him
if he was working or not.

Said he had to call
and make an appointment.

And what did you say?

I lied and told him
I was sure Joe wasn't working.

Otherwise he never would have told me

it was okay to use his spot.

And then what happened?

And then I went into the station house

like I worked there, too.

As soon as I got in the door,

I mentioned it to the watch commander,

and they sent somebody out
to take a look.

But...

by then, he was gone.

Okay, so let's just review.

Your husband had an encounter
with Leo Craddick

- in the courthouse corridor...
- Objection.

Counsel's assuming facts
that are not in evidence.

And then you encountered him

later that night, skulking around

- the station house...
- Your Honor.

- Objection sustained.
- ...after he was told

- he needed to have an appointment.
- The jury will...

- In your opinion...
- Ms. Olson...

- ...was he lying in wait?
- I'm ordering you

- to stop questioning the witness!
- Or perhaps planning

- to shoot your husband that night?
- Counsel is ignoring

- the order from the bench!
- Ms. Olson, that's enough!

The jury will disregard
the A.D.A.'s... outbursts.

Like hell they will.

And you, my dear,

are within a hair's breadth

of being found in contempt of court.

Am I being clear?

Very.

You were there.

I called him out at the courthouse,

told him there was gonna be a reckoning.

He even said, "Are you threatening me?"

I remember it well.

Now, get to the part
where you're stalking him

at the precinct?

I wasn't stalking him at the precinct.

I wasn't stalking him anywhere.

I realized as soon
as I saw the look on your face

that I should never have
confronted Kaminsky in that way.

That that was no way
to get my father out of jail.

So, again,

what were you doing
at the precinct that night?

I went there to apologize.

I went there to try and repair
whatever damage I might have done.

But like his wife said,

they wouldn't even tell me
if he was there.

So I thought
I'd look in the parking lot.

And suddenly,
a car pulled into his spot.

I had no idea she was his wife.

I figured she was just another cop

whose space was just further away.

So when she told me that
he wasn't working that night,

I took her word for it and went home.

Oh, see, that-that...
that's a great answer.

I love that answer.
I want to put you on the stand

so you can tell that to the jury.

- Except you can't.
- Excuse me?

She just set a trap for you, that A.D.A.

She's tough. She's ferocious.

There's nothing she wants more

than for you to put him on the stand

so he can declare his innocence.

And then, she will say,
"While I have you up here,

"isn't it true that you are a member

"of the Black Lives Matter movement?

"And isn't it also true that,
in connection with a protest

that was staged 14 months
ago, you were arrested?"

So, what do we do?

Quite honestly, I don't know.

I think I do.

So let me make sure

that I understand what transpired

that night in the parking lot.

You pulled into your husband's spot,

and then Mr. Craddick approached you.

Yes.

And did he touch your car?

What do you mean?

Well,
one of the key pieces of evidence that

the prosecution keeps telling us about

is this palm print
on Detective Kaminsky's car.

The same car that
you were driving that night.

Okay.

So I'm asking, in your back and forth

with Mr. Craddick, did he have occasion

to put his hand on your car?

Maybe his palm on
the driver's side of the roof?

Not that I recall.

Do you recall testifying
not 20 minutes ago

that at a point, you left your car,

- and you went into the station house?
- Yes.

And you were so concerned about
Mr. Craddick being out there

that, well, you told
the watch commander about it.

Yes.

Well, isn't it possible that,
during that time,

that Leo inadvertently
left his palm print

on the driver's side roof of the vehicle

where the police later discovered it?

I don't know. I didn't see it.

But isn't it possible?

Objection! Asked and answered.

Overruled. The witness
will answer the question.

I suppose it's possible.

Are you aware

that a palm imprint, like
the one that my client left,

can last for a day, a week,

- even years?
- Objection!

The defense is testifying!

Sustained. The jury will
disregard that last statement.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Wow. That was pretty impressive.

Just goes to show you,
when life hands you lemons...

You want to make sure
there's someone on your team

with lots of tequila and salt.

Answers. We got answers.

Fire when ready.

Okay, well, it turns out
all of the owners

of all of the burner phones
that Kaminsky gave out

to his confidential informants
are either in jail,

alibied out or dead.

How convenient.

All of them...

except for one.

Who, of course, is the person

who texted Kaminsky four
times the night of his death.

And that phone would belong to?

I have no idea.

Kaminsky kept records of the others,

but this one's kind of a ghost.

Never officially assigned to anyone.

May not even be one of
the ones he gave out.

I mean,

who says every call he gets

from a burner phone
has to be from an informant?

Good point.

Can you run this one last number again?

I don't even know if it's possible,

but can you see
what the point of purchase was?

Where whoever owns this thing
might have gotten it from?

It'll at least give me a...
a starting point.

The prosecution would like to
call Ahmaud Coleman to the stand.

Objection.

Your Honor, this man's name
does not appear

on any witness list.

This is a blatant violation
of the rules of discovery.

Apology to the court, Your Honor.

This witness just came
to my attention late last night,

when he was arrested
for an unrelated matter.

Your Honor...

You'll be provided with all the time

you require to prepare

to cross-examine the witness,
Mr. Palmer.

I'd like to proceed.

Yes, Your Honor.

Mr. Coleman,

you and the defendant live
in the same apartment complex.

Is that right?

That's right.

And are you and the defendant

close friends? Acquaintances?

Neighbors.

I'd mostly see him at
the Housing Authority meetings.

Had to raise hell
to get them to fix anything.

Did the defendant ever share
his feelings about the police

while the two of you were
at one of those meetings?

Yeah. Leo would say how the only reason

his father was in prison was
the police railroaded him.

Hmm.

Did he say anything else?

Anything that stood out to you?

One day he asked if I knew anyone

who could help him get a gun.

Oh.

Did Leo Craddick say
why he wanted a gun?

He just wanted to know
how long it would take.

Said he needed it fast.

Mm-hmm. Was this before, or after
Detective Kaminsky was shot to death?

It was before.

Nothing further at this time,
Your Honor.

You bought a gun from this guy?

No. Of course not.

There have been a bunch of
break-ins in our building.

I thought about getting
a gun for protection,

but I never followed through.

So you got picked up
for something last night,

and someone suggested to you
that if you come into court this morning

and testify against my client,

that things might go
a little easier for you?

Hmm?

- The witness will answer the question.
- No.

That's all right, Your Honor.

We'll give him this one for free.

Mr. Coleman,

did my client ever buy a gun from you?

No.

And did my client ever follow up

with you about buying a gun?

- No.
- So,

my client never bought a gun from you,

and the two of you never
discussed the subject again?

No.

I see.

So the totality of your testimony

is that you and my client
had a little chat?

I suppose.

And during that chat,
did my client tell you

that the reason why
he wanted a gun was because

of all of the break-ins
in your building,

and that that is why he wanted a gun?

You're under oath, Mr. Coleman.

It came up in the conversation.

I bet it did.

I have nothing further
for this... witness.

That was a nice piece of lawyering,
Mr. Palmer.

Thank you.

I'm just doing my job.

And how do you see this going?

What's that jury thinking?

It's hard to say.

And they need 12 to convict,
they need 12 to exonerate.

Anything else, and we have a hung jury.

You go back to prison, and then we go

and do this all over again
in eight or nine months.

None of that sounds like an answer.

They believe your motive is revenge.

A witness said they saw
you seek out the victim.

And someone else said
you wanted to buy a gun.

But I didn't buy one.

But you asked about it.

And we know there's at least one juror

whose mind we are not
gonna change about you.

Because I look the part.

Put me on the stand.

Let me testify. Let me tell my story.

Leo, we put you on the stand,

and that A.D.A.'s
first question is going to be,

"Do you stand with Black Lives Matter?"

And my answer's gonna be,

"Hell yes, I do!"

Black lives matter. Why is
that even open for debate?

It shouldn't be,
but with this jury, it is.

I want... to testify.

It's my life.

If I'm going to spend the rest
of it behind bars,

I want to look the people

who are going to put me in there
in the eye.

Okay, Leo. Okay.

- Let me think about it.
- Why?

- It's not even your choice.
- Let me think about it.

You do whatever you want.

I've already made up my mind.

Gentlemen, I have an idea.

Dr. Bull.

Arthur wanted to have a word.

Mr. Colón explained the situation to me.

I had a thought.

Make me your first witness.

Excuse me?

Can you tell me where I can find
the owner of this bodega?

I don't know.

What do you want him for?

I'm a private investigator,
and I was hoping

he might be able
to give me some information.

About what?

Something somebody bought here.

A phone.

And when did you make the
decision to take an active role

in securing your freedom from prison?

That's the thing.

It wasn't me. It was Leo.

Whenever he could afford
a stamp, he would write to me.

Tell me how things were going in school,

send me his test papers,

beg me to let him come visit.

And, uh, even though I dreaded

him seeing me in that place,

him seeing me that way, I...

I finally said "yes."

And the first thing he said was...

"Pops... we're going
to get you out of here.

"You didn't do this.

"The law is the law,

and you didn't break any laws."

All that mattered to him
was that I was his father.

And that's how it started.

I went to the prison library.
He went to the Bronx library.

And twice a month, he would take
the-the bus up to the prison,

- and we would compare notes.
- Your Honor,

I object.

While this is all truly...

fascinating,

it's hard to see how any of it

is relevant to the business at hand,

which is the murder
of Detective Kaminsky.

Your Honor, apologies.

The witness is simply trying
to set the table

and create some context.

That's all well and good,
Mr. Palmer, but let's get to it.

Okay.

Mr. Craddick,

do you believe that your son
murdered Detective Kaminsky?

- No, I do not.
- Objection.

Calls for speculation.

Besides which, this man
is a convicted murderer.

Your Honor,
the conviction is in the process

- of being vacated.
- Not to mention the fact

that on the night in question,
he was behind bars

and could not possibly know
who did or did not

shoot Detective Kaminsky.

But I do.

Objection.

Sustained. The jury will disregard.

But, Your Honor, I really do
know who killed the detective.

Mr. Craddick,
I know you've studied the law,

so I know you know how this works.

You may not speak out of turn.

The attorney will ask

a question, and then you will answer.

Ask me.

Mr. Palmer,

this is your witness.

Ask a question.

Mr. Craddick,

do you know
who killed Detective Kaminsky?

I do.

Okay.

And how is this possible?

Because I'm the one
who paid the man who did it.

Order!

The jury will restrain itself.

What the hell is he doing?

Your Honor, we move to strike
the witness's last statement.

Mr. Craddick, are you saying

you were directly involved in the murder

of Detective Kaminsky?

Don't answer that!

Your Honor,
I am this witness's attorney.

Your Honor, I knew

Kaminsky was gonna try
to keep me in jail,

so I paid someone on the outside
$25,000 to have him killed

so that he couldn't block my parole.

Y-Your Honor, uh, I am requesting

- a recess to confer, please.
- I object.

The people are entitled
to cross-examine this witness.

Particularly in light
of this preposterous

and transparent attempt to
create reasonable doubt.

All right.

I'm sorry, Ms. Olson,

but we are going to adjourn for the day.

And unless Mr. Palmer
has any more questions,

when we return,

we will commence with cross-examination.

Court is adjourned.

You committed perjury. That's a felony.

You just violated the
terms of your parole.

Arthur, what were you thinking?

I was thinking that being innocent

wasn't going to keep my son out of jail.

So, I went to the bodega hoping whoever

sold our man the phone
might have a record of it

and that he might be willing

to part with that information

- for enough money.
- And?

And he hadn't

actually sold that phone to anyone.

It was his phone.

It belonged to the man
who owned the bodega.

Okay, so, now we're saying

that Detective Kaminsky
was killed by some bodega guy?

I didn't say that.

I said the phone belonged
to the bodega guy.

Cost me 500 bucks, by the way.

So, why was Bodega Guy

calling Kaminsky the
night of the murder?

Or, for that matter,
any of the other dozens

- of times they spoke?
- Well,

let's not talk about the night
of the murder just yet.

And all the other times that Kaminsky

and the bodega guy talked

was because
they were conducting business.

Business?

The bodega guy

was supplying Kaminsky with Adderall.

Apparently, he used it to stay up late.

Used it the way people chew gum.

I'm following you, but I have
no idea where you're going.

Oh, Danny, put them out of their misery.

Get to the good stuff.

It turns out the bodega guy
got busted by two cops

five days before Kaminsky's murder.

But instead of arresting him,
the cops took all his money,

his drugs and his burner phone.

Okay, so, wait. Now you're saying

you think that the people
that were calling Kaminsky

the night of his murder were cops?

We know they were cops.
And now that Taylor

has broken the encryption
on Kaminsky's phone,

I think we have enough
to prove they killed him.

Well, thank you for agreeing to
meet us so early in the morning.

This better be good.

So, when Kaminsky wanted
to buy more Adderall,

he couldn't get his connect
on the phone,

so he went to see him in person.

And that's when he
discovered the two detectives he knew

were shaking down small-time
drug dealers, including his.

So you think he threatened
to go to Internal Affairs?

I know he did.

Our technical team
unencrypted their conversations.

They said

they would kill him

if he threatened to destroy their lives.

Our first witness this morning

is scheduled to be the bodega owner.

The drug dealer.

Who will identify

the two detectives who shook him down

in exchange for leniency

because he is unmasking
two corrupt cops.

Unless, of course, you'd rather
he didn't testify for us

but instead testified for you

when you bring charges
against these two detectives.

As the, uh, people

and the defense were in agreement,

I was expecting to enter
a finding of "not guilty"

in this matter.

However, Judge Argawal informed me

of Mr. Craddick's recent
outburst in her courtroom.

Can you explain your
actions, Mr. Craddick?

If I may, Your Honor,
my client's actions

were not born
out of any contempt for the law

but were those, simply,
of a desperate father

trying to protect his son.

Now, Mr. Craddick
deeply regrets his outburst.

But, in light of the unusual
circumstances of this case,

I ask that the court show some mercy

and rule favorably on our petition.

Your Honor,

Mr. Craddick has endured
12 years in prison

for a crime he did not commit, and...

the people will not compound his
suffering by pressing charges

at this time.

The people

likewise request

that the court enter a finding
of "not guilty."

Mr. Craddick,
if I could ask you to stand.

Mr. Craddick, some wrongs
are impossible to make right.

But occasionally,
we are given the opportunity

to offer a small correction

to the grotesque cruelties

that are suffered
in the name of justice.

I'm going to rule in favor
of you, the petitioner.

A verdict of "not guilty" will
be entered into the record

along with the apologies of the court.

Mr. Craddick, you're free to go.

So, what do you know?

- Is the A.D.A. gonna play ball?
- Well,

she hasn't said anything yet.

All I know is people

with D.A. medallions
hanging from their necks

keep showing up and speaking
passionately with her.

All rise.

All right, then.

I believe it's now

the prosecution's turn to cross-examine

Mr. Arthur Craddick.

Could we please have
Mr. Craddick take his place

- in the witness box?
- Your Honor,

before we continue, there's a matter

we'd very much like to bring
to the court's attention.

A few moments ago, I was able

to confirm that an arrest warrant

had been issued
for Detective Ryan Pierson.

Just this morning,
investigators uncovered evidence

implicating Pierson

in the murder of Detective Joe Kaminsky.

In light of this,

and other evidence provided

in conjunction
with an ongoing investigation

with Internal Affairs,

the people are informing the court

that we are dismissing

all charges against Leo Craddick.

And, Mr. Craddick,

I'm so sorry for all
that you've been through.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the court thanks the jury
for its service.

This case is dismissed.

You were right.

About which thing?

Belief perseverance.

People get an idea in their head,

and they see the world in a certain way.

Yeah.

I'll meet you guys outside.

Excuse me.

Um,

sorry to bother you, but I...
I couldn't help but notice

when the judge dismissed the case,

you looked upset.

No. No big deal.

I'm just...

What can I say?

I was absolutely convinced

that the man was guilty.

Hmm.

Guess I was wrong.

It happens.
