NARRATOR: In the
criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,903 --> 00:00:06,806
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,874 --> 00:00:08,638
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,709 --> 00:00:11,440
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,512 --> 00:00:13,037
These are their stories.
6
00:00:13,914 --> 00:00:15,712
Please, just take
me in your car.
7
00:00:15,782 --> 00:00:17,660
The hospital's only a few
blocks. (SIREN WAILING)
8
00:00:17,684 --> 00:00:19,516
Hang on, they're almost here.
9
00:00:24,892 --> 00:00:26,884
Please help the baby.
What's wrong with it?
10
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,656
She fell out of the crib.
11
00:00:28,729 --> 00:00:31,164
It's her head. Please, help her.
12
00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:33,943
All right. Come on. Now
let's give them some room.
13
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,512
It's gonna be all right.
It's gonna be all right.
14
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:37,801
All right? Hang on one second.
15
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:39,900
What do you got?
16
00:00:39,973 --> 00:00:42,204
Baby's dead. She was
dead before we got here.
17
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:43,300
How long?
18
00:00:43,410 --> 00:00:45,436
Not long, still
warm, no lividity.
19
00:00:45,646 --> 00:00:46,723
This baby didn't
fall out of no crib.
20
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:47,874
How do you know?
21
00:00:47,948 --> 00:00:49,314
It's a three-foot drop.
22
00:00:49,383 --> 00:00:51,528
You don't die from that unless
you land wrong and break your neck.
23
00:00:51,552 --> 00:00:53,145
Her neck's fine.
24
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:56,384
Sure, the bruises could
be consistent with a fall,
25
00:00:57,124 --> 00:00:59,324
and maybe she cut her head
on something on the way down.
26
00:00:59,393 --> 00:01:00,417
So why are we here?
27
00:01:00,460 --> 00:01:02,361
There's one bruise in
front and one in the back.
28
00:01:02,429 --> 00:01:03,829
Did she fall twice?
29
00:01:03,897 --> 00:01:04,897
Maybe she bounced.
30
00:01:04,965 --> 00:01:07,059
You tell the parents you
think they beat the baby?
31
00:01:07,134 --> 00:01:09,194
I didn't say anything,
and I don't think anything,
32
00:01:09,269 --> 00:01:11,636
except that this needs
explaining. That's your job.
33
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:14,436
Sorry if I interrupted
your coffee break.
34
00:01:15,108 --> 00:01:16,906
When's the last time
we had a coffee break?
35
00:01:16,977 --> 00:01:18,468
August of '96.
36
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:13,127
I got up at 6:30,
went to check on her,
37
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:16,636
and she was on the
floor in front of the crib.
38
00:02:16,703 --> 00:02:18,281
I can't believe you
think we would hurt her.
39
00:02:18,305 --> 00:02:20,069
How'd she get the
cut on her head?
40
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:21,665
I don't know.
41
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:22,852
Look, either there's something
42
00:02:22,876 --> 00:02:24,742
she could've cut her
head on or there's not.
43
00:02:24,811 --> 00:02:27,144
You think we spent five
years on a waiting list
44
00:02:27,214 --> 00:02:29,080
just so we could
beat a baby to death
45
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:30,811
three days after we
brought her home?
46
00:02:30,884 --> 00:02:32,443
Well, we can clear
this up pretty fast.
47
00:02:32,552 --> 00:02:33,850
We'll take a look at her room.
48
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:35,479
You mean come to our apartment?
49
00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:36,579
Yeah.
50
00:02:36,657 --> 00:02:38,216
We didn't do anything wrong,
51
00:02:38,291 --> 00:02:40,811
and you're not coming into our
apartment. Not without a warrant.
52
00:02:40,861 --> 00:02:42,557
Then you can come
to the station with us.
53
00:02:42,629 --> 00:02:43,629
Are we under arrest?
54
00:02:43,697 --> 00:02:44,756
Not at the moment.
55
00:02:44,831 --> 00:02:46,356
Then we're not going.
56
00:02:49,069 --> 00:02:51,334
You didn't see the look
on their faces, Judge.
57
00:02:51,405 --> 00:02:53,636
They did a 180 so
fast we got whiplash.
58
00:02:53,707 --> 00:02:55,539
I can think of a
thousand reasons
59
00:02:55,609 --> 00:02:58,044
people might not want
cops in their apartment.
60
00:02:58,145 --> 00:03:00,910
Yeah, illegal drugs,
unregistered guns.
61
00:03:01,214 --> 00:03:02,773
That's the attitude that makes
62
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:04,579
the Fourth Amendment
such a good idea.
63
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:06,696
Listen, the paramedic said
there was... Yes, you told me.
64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,689
You don't even have
a cause of death.
65
00:03:08,755 --> 00:03:10,690
If the M.E. calls it homicide,
66
00:03:10,757 --> 00:03:12,191
you know where to find me.
67
00:03:12,259 --> 00:03:13,522
Hi, Jane!
68
00:03:14,161 --> 00:03:15,823
CHARTERS: I can't
rearrange my schedule
69
00:03:15,896 --> 00:03:17,489
unless Dr. Rodgers tells me to.
70
00:03:17,564 --> 00:03:18,564
So, how long?
71
00:03:18,632 --> 00:03:19,964
I'm cutting as fast as I can.
72
00:03:20,033 --> 00:03:21,377
Why don't you
give her a quick look
73
00:03:21,401 --> 00:03:23,063
and tell us what
you think. (SCOFFS)
74
00:03:23,136 --> 00:03:25,367
Determining the cause
of death is a complex...
75
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:27,083
Yeah. But you check
them when they come in.
76
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:29,167
Listen, you don't have
to sign off on anything,
77
00:03:29,242 --> 00:03:30,904
just give us something to go on.
78
00:03:30,977 --> 00:03:32,240
(SIGHS)
79
00:03:38,185 --> 00:03:40,916
Two recent bruises, one
sphenoid, one temporal.
80
00:03:40,987 --> 00:03:42,011
Bad enough to kill her?
81
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:46,220
Maybe. And there are four less severe
bruises that are three or four days old.
82
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,558
Like maybe somebody
pounded on her regularly?
83
00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:50,358
It's a possibility.
84
00:03:50,731 --> 00:03:52,461
You want my
off-the-record opinion,
85
00:03:52,532 --> 00:03:54,398
you're looking at a homicide.
86
00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:57,597
You want something on
paper, you'll have to wait.
87
00:03:58,572 --> 00:04:02,202
We can't know if it's a
homicide until the M.E.'s office...
88
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:05,340
Yes, sir.
89
00:04:06,012 --> 00:04:08,538
Uh, sorry to bother you.
90
00:04:10,717 --> 00:04:13,710
Captain McKinney declines
to put pressure on the M.E.
91
00:04:13,787 --> 00:04:15,688
Guy really knows
how to nurse a grudge.
92
00:04:15,756 --> 00:04:17,952
He's been chilly since
my lawyer deposed him.
93
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:19,584
Go figure.
94
00:04:19,659 --> 00:04:22,493
Find something to
change the judge's mind.
95
00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:26,994
Moved in maybe about 10-12
months ago, them and the boy.
96
00:04:27,267 --> 00:04:28,326
They have another kid?
97
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:30,632
Yeah. Nicholas. Uh, six, seven.
98
00:04:30,704 --> 00:04:32,764
Must've slipped their minds.
How do they treat him?
99
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,105
I see 'em when they go out and
when they come in. What would I know?
100
00:04:36,176 --> 00:04:37,701
I can tell you
they've been through
101
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:39,906
about half a dozen nannies
since they've been here.
102
00:04:39,980 --> 00:04:41,676
Why's that? (EXCLAIMS)
103
00:04:43,416 --> 00:04:44,927
They close with any
of their neighbors?
104
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,510
Don't think so.
105
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:48,781
They keep to themselves.
106
00:04:48,855 --> 00:04:50,050
Anybody ever complain?
107
00:04:50,123 --> 00:04:51,955
Screaming or crying
coming from the apartment?
108
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,891
(LAUGHS) No. Not to me.
109
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,961
Children's Services were snooping
around about three months ago.
110
00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:58,862
What happened?
They came, they went.
111
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:00,827
Kid's still here.
112
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:05,004
If anything was wrong, they wouldn't
have let them adopt another one, right?
113
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:08,235
I conducted an investigation,
no action was required.
114
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:10,072
You have to wait until
a kid shows up dead?
115
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,374
No action was required.
116
00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:13,708
Who made the complaint?
117
00:05:13,780 --> 00:05:15,408
I can't tell you that.
118
00:05:15,482 --> 00:05:17,508
Lady, this is going
to hit the news,
119
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,304
and the fingers are
gonna be pointed at you.
120
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:21,981
You rather have us
on your side or not?
121
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,223
Who made the complaint?
122
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:27,526
You told Children's
Services, why not tell us?
123
00:05:27,661 --> 00:05:30,256
No, the señor and
señora have their...
124
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,855
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
125
00:05:31,932 --> 00:05:32,991
Lawyer.
126
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:34,295
SÃ, their lawyer said to me
127
00:05:34,367 --> 00:05:36,893
that I am not to make
any trouble for them again,
128
00:05:36,970 --> 00:05:38,962
or they will send la migra
129
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:41,440
and take away my
green card and deport me.
130
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,170
Well, you have your
green card, right?
131
00:05:43,243 --> 00:05:45,439
They can't do anything to you.
132
00:05:45,812 --> 00:05:47,906
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
133
00:05:52,419 --> 00:05:54,479
She says she can't help us.
134
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:56,750
"The devil is in that house."
135
00:05:58,658 --> 00:06:01,218
So you go back to the
judge and tell her what?
136
00:06:01,294 --> 00:06:02,728
The devil made them do it?
137
00:06:02,796 --> 00:06:05,425
She'll say you need an
exorcist, not a warrant.
138
00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:07,296
Well, we thought,
coming from you...
139
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:08,835
Wait for the autopsy.
140
00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:10,962
You gun-shy all of a sudden?
141
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:14,106
LT, there's something's
wrong in that family.
142
00:06:14,174 --> 00:06:16,439
(SIGHS) Who's the riding A.D.A.?
143
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,205
Abbie Carmichael.
144
00:06:18,345 --> 00:06:20,541
Oh, so she finally got
out of Special Narcotics.
145
00:06:20,614 --> 00:06:22,515
I know her. She can help.
146
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,915
You didn't sue
her, too, did you?
147
00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:26,419
(LAUGHS)
148
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:30,720
JUDGE: There's still no cause
of death. Nothing's different.
149
00:06:31,691 --> 00:06:35,822
And siccing the D.A.'s office
on me doesn't help your cause.
150
00:06:38,265 --> 00:06:41,064
CARMICHAEL: Your Honor, I
have booked time in the Grand Jury.
151
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,412
I am looking to charge the
Warings with obstruction.
152
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:44,904
Give it up, Carmichael.
153
00:06:44,971 --> 00:06:48,203
Refusing police entry into
one's home is not obstruction.
154
00:06:48,275 --> 00:06:49,868
Threatening a witness is.
155
00:06:49,976 --> 00:06:52,172
The detectives tried to
talk to a Mrs. Angela Cruz,
156
00:06:52,245 --> 00:06:53,645
who used to work
for the Warings.
157
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:55,091
Mrs. Cruz was
afraid to talk to them
158
00:06:55,115 --> 00:06:56,959
because the Warings
threatened her with deportation
159
00:06:56,983 --> 00:06:58,110
if she opened her mouth.
160
00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:00,153
Is Mrs. Cruz here illegally?
161
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:01,552
She has a green card.
162
00:07:01,621 --> 00:07:04,386
I want the detectives to search
the Warings' apartment to find proof
163
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:07,359
they knew their threat was extortionate
and thereby obstructed justice.
164
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,896
And what evidence do you
expect to find in their apartment?
165
00:07:09,963 --> 00:07:11,207
If they hired and
paid her legally,
166
00:07:11,231 --> 00:07:13,496
I expect to find a copy
of Mrs. Cruz's green card,
167
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:16,468
I expect to find her
Social Security number.
168
00:07:18,471 --> 00:07:20,531
All right, Ms. Carmichael.
169
00:07:24,477 --> 00:07:27,538
You didn't tell us you booked
time with the Grand Jury.
170
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:29,242
What Grand Jury?
171
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:31,581
(CHUCKLES)
172
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:32,744
Where's the baby's room?
173
00:07:32,819 --> 00:07:33,980
There.
174
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:35,820
Where's your son, Nicholas?
175
00:07:35,889 --> 00:07:36,948
He's in his room.
176
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:38,047
Where's his room?
177
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:40,236
Can you wait until my husband
gets back? What are they doing?
178
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,252
They're taking this
stuff down to the lab.
179
00:07:42,329 --> 00:07:44,628
Now, where was she
when you found her?
180
00:07:44,698 --> 00:07:46,633
I think I'd better
wait for my husband.
181
00:07:46,700 --> 00:07:49,226
Fine, you can wait with
the officer right here.
182
00:07:49,302 --> 00:07:51,328
Lennie. Bring her with you.
183
00:07:55,775 --> 00:07:57,573
This your son's room?
184
00:08:04,784 --> 00:08:06,616
PHILLIP: Elizabeth?
185
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,244
Elizabeth?
186
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,153
They have a warrant.
187
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:13,125
Hey, you must be Nicholas.
188
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:15,318
My name's Rey.
189
00:08:15,528 --> 00:08:17,759
Hey, can I take a
look at your arm?
190
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:19,800
BRISCOE: How did
you get those, Nicholas?
191
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:20,925
I fell.
192
00:08:22,035 --> 00:08:23,503
I'm going to call our lawyer.
193
00:08:25,305 --> 00:08:27,069
I'll get Children's Services.
194
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:30,406
And you can call your
lawyer from our station house.
195
00:08:31,344 --> 00:08:32,744
The boy himself
told you he fell.
196
00:08:32,812 --> 00:08:36,214
Yeah, with his parents
standing there, glaring at him.
197
00:08:36,883 --> 00:08:38,078
Where's my son?
198
00:08:38,151 --> 00:08:39,642
Children's Services.
199
00:08:39,719 --> 00:08:42,245
They don't know him.
They don't care about him.
200
00:08:42,322 --> 00:08:44,122
They're not the ones
keeping him in a dungeon.
201
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:45,418
You don't understand.
202
00:08:45,492 --> 00:08:47,358
No, I don't. Explain it to us.
203
00:08:47,427 --> 00:08:49,521
I really want to hear this.
204
00:08:55,335 --> 00:08:57,964
CSU found this tape
in their apartment.
205
00:08:59,172 --> 00:09:01,141
I hate you! I hate you!
Nicholas! Nicholas!
206
00:09:01,207 --> 00:09:02,470
You're safe now.
207
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,976
You're safe now. Get out!
208
00:09:04,044 --> 00:09:05,221
Nobody's gonna hurt you
here. I'm gonna kill you!
209
00:09:05,245 --> 00:09:07,805
(SHUSHING) I hate
your guts. I hate your guts!
210
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:10,112
Nicholas, you're safe
now. (SHOUTING)
211
00:09:10,183 --> 00:09:11,913
There's your devil.
212
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:13,920
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
213
00:09:14,354 --> 00:09:15,947
At least his head
didn't spin around.
214
00:09:19,626 --> 00:09:20,889
(SCREAMING)
215
00:09:28,935 --> 00:09:31,803
Nicholas... Hold on, sweetie!
216
00:09:31,971 --> 00:09:33,701
I'm right here. We
love you, Nicholas.
217
00:09:33,773 --> 00:09:35,639
I hate you! I hate you!
Nicholas! Nicholas!
218
00:09:35,708 --> 00:09:36,732
You're safe now.
219
00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,506
Get out!
220
00:09:38,978 --> 00:09:40,071
So?
221
00:09:41,014 --> 00:09:42,175
I see what you see.
222
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:44,149
He's disturbed and violent,
223
00:09:44,217 --> 00:09:46,948
manages anger badly and
has poor impulse control.
224
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:49,888
That explains why they
stonewalled us so hard.
225
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:51,447
They knew he killed the baby.
226
00:09:51,524 --> 00:09:55,484
This behavior is almost certainly
a reaction to severe abuse.
227
00:09:56,296 --> 00:09:58,993
You know anything about his
background before he was adopted?
228
00:09:59,065 --> 00:10:00,294
He's adopted, too?
229
00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:02,096
Yeah. Of course he is.
230
00:10:02,168 --> 00:10:06,105
Why else would his mother assure him
he's safe now, no one can hurt him here.
231
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:08,150
Could he have attacked the baby?
232
00:10:08,174 --> 00:10:09,267
Sure.
233
00:10:09,342 --> 00:10:12,073
Did he? Couldn't even
hazard a guess from the tape.
234
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:13,145
If I could talk to him...
235
00:10:13,213 --> 00:10:14,693
He's a suspect. You
can't speak to him
236
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:16,492
without his parents'
permission, and they say no.
237
00:10:16,516 --> 00:10:19,247
Well, call me if they
change their mind.
238
00:10:21,888 --> 00:10:23,254
Pull the state files,
239
00:10:23,323 --> 00:10:25,403
find out what agency placed
the boy with the Warings.
240
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,458
See if he has a history.
241
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,118
Of what? Punching babies?
242
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:30,993
Or torturing cats,
setting fires. Whatever.
243
00:10:35,668 --> 00:10:37,500
It's our policy not
to discuss matters
244
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:38,902
related to pending litigation.
245
00:10:38,972 --> 00:10:40,600
BRISCOE: There's a
lawsuit over the boy?
246
00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:42,569
Yes. Who's suing? The Warings?
247
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,304
Yes. Because he's violent?
248
00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:46,907
I really can't talk about it.
249
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:49,279
BRISCOE: So, he's
attacked people before?
250
00:10:49,349 --> 00:10:50,408
I didn't say that.
251
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:52,577
Come on. Let's face it,
the kid's a lunatic, right?
252
00:10:52,652 --> 00:10:55,850
He's a perfectly charming
little boy. I interviewed him at...
253
00:10:58,191 --> 00:11:01,025
I really can't talk
about this. I'm sorry.
254
00:11:01,928 --> 00:11:03,168
According to the court records,
255
00:11:03,229 --> 00:11:06,666
the agency neglected to mention
the boy had attachment disorder.
256
00:11:09,235 --> 00:11:11,363
If he has it, the
kid's a sociopath.
257
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:12,898
"If"?
258
00:11:13,406 --> 00:11:17,537
Attachment disorder's
over-diagnosed, like hyperactivity.
259
00:11:17,944 --> 00:11:20,243
Kid can't sit still,
he's hyperactive.
260
00:11:20,813 --> 00:11:23,977
Kid hates his mother's
guts, bing-bang, it's A.D.
261
00:11:24,651 --> 00:11:27,246
What's the story
on the birth parents?
262
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:29,886
The mother was a drug addict,
263
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:32,926
her brother was a pedophile
who raped him repeatedly
264
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:35,621
and rented him out
to other pedophiles.
265
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:38,458
He was beaten when he cried.
266
00:11:38,531 --> 00:11:39,897
He ate out of a garbage can
267
00:11:39,966 --> 00:11:42,026
because his mother
would forget to feed him.
268
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:46,370
I need to decide how hard to
pursue this and in what direction.
269
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:53,543
If he has attachment disorder,
270
00:11:53,646 --> 00:11:55,911
he's capable of killing a baby.
271
00:11:56,316 --> 00:11:57,750
He has no empathy.
272
00:11:58,151 --> 00:12:00,586
No conscience, no remorse.
273
00:12:02,488 --> 00:12:03,768
What's the best setting for him?
274
00:12:03,823 --> 00:12:06,224
You mean, where can
he do the least damage?
275
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:08,693
There's no wonder
drug, no proven therapy.
276
00:12:11,598 --> 00:12:13,362
You don't know what
he's been through.
277
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:15,493
I do. And I'm sorry.
278
00:12:17,370 --> 00:12:19,703
Did you see him attack the baby?
279
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:23,138
No, and we have no
reason to think that he did.
280
00:12:23,209 --> 00:12:25,387
If you think he's innocent, then
why are you covering for him?
281
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:26,571
They're not covering for him.
282
00:12:26,613 --> 00:12:30,448
They're just trying to protect
him from unfounded accusations.
283
00:12:30,917 --> 00:12:34,012
According to your lease, you
paid a pet deposit for a dachshund.
284
00:12:34,087 --> 00:12:35,698
The police found no
dog in your apartment.
285
00:12:35,722 --> 00:12:37,122
What happened to it?
286
00:12:40,293 --> 00:12:41,637
I want our psychiatrist
to talk to him.
287
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:42,788
What's the point of this?
288
00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:44,974
You can't charge the boy
with a crime, he's too young.
289
00:12:44,998 --> 00:12:46,694
I don't need to charge
him with a crime.
290
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:48,234
If I take this to family court,
291
00:12:48,301 --> 00:12:50,668
a judge will decide where
to institutionalize the boy.
292
00:12:50,737 --> 00:12:53,536
Bluff. She has nothing
to take to family court.
293
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:57,373
The videotape proves he's
dangerous to himself and others.
294
00:12:58,044 --> 00:13:00,138
Work with me to do
what is best for Nicholas.
295
00:13:00,213 --> 00:13:02,546
We are doing
what's best for him.
296
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:07,116
You people look at him
and you see a little monster.
297
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,383
My husband and I
see a wonderful boy
298
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:14,352
who has suffered horrors
no child should go through.
299
00:13:14,427 --> 00:13:17,226
You have no idea how
much progress he's made.
300
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,392
She doesn't care.
301
00:13:21,434 --> 00:13:22,629
It's like watching Ted Bundy
302
00:13:22,702 --> 00:13:23,846
at the beginning of his career.
303
00:13:23,870 --> 00:13:26,305
I don't want this kid let loose
in society without treatment.
304
00:13:26,939 --> 00:13:29,204
Yeah, but unless the
parents or the kid fess up,
305
00:13:29,275 --> 00:13:31,005
that's it, case closed.
306
00:13:31,077 --> 00:13:32,204
I'm gonna ask family court
307
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:34,042
to rescind the Warings'
adoption of the boy.
308
00:13:34,113 --> 00:13:35,638
Based on what?
309
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:37,308
You saw the room
they kept him in.
310
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:39,375
Wouldn't you call that
abusive and neglectful?
311
00:13:39,452 --> 00:13:41,045
What does that give us?
312
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,021
The court appoints a guardian,
313
00:13:43,089 --> 00:13:46,253
who gives permission
for Skoda to talk to the kid.
314
00:13:49,462 --> 00:13:51,488
He's a difficult child,
so they lock him in
315
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:53,055
what amounts to a bare cell.
316
00:13:53,132 --> 00:13:54,623
Children's Services
investigated,
317
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,397
they found no abuse, no neglect.
318
00:13:56,469 --> 00:13:59,962
Do I have to tell you how many fatal
mistakes Children's Services has made?
319
00:14:00,073 --> 00:14:02,304
They're doing what the boy's
psychiatrist recommends.
320
00:14:02,342 --> 00:14:03,776
You've seen the videotape.
321
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:05,721
When he loses control,
they don't lose their temper,
322
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:07,509
they don't strike him...
323
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:10,982
They just immobilize and hold
him firmly until the fury passes.
324
00:14:11,050 --> 00:14:13,747
He's seven years old. What
will they do when he's 18?
325
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:15,755
We're doing everything
that can be done.
326
00:14:15,822 --> 00:14:18,883
He's on medication, he's
in therapy, we give him love.
327
00:14:19,359 --> 00:14:21,537
There's absolutely no reason
to think he can't get better.
328
00:14:21,561 --> 00:14:25,157
Your Honor, this child
is violently disturbed.
329
00:14:25,732 --> 00:14:26,995
He needs to be in a setting
330
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:28,577
where he's supervised
by professionals.
331
00:14:28,601 --> 00:14:31,662
Nobody can do any more
than we can for Nicholas.
332
00:14:32,939 --> 00:14:34,373
Nobody else has ever loved him.
333
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,170
No matter how
much they love him,
334
00:14:36,242 --> 00:14:38,336
they are not equipped
to deal with him.
335
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:40,812
He's under suspicion
for killing a baby,
336
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,678
and I believe he's
also killed a dog.
337
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:43,842
You believe?
338
00:14:43,916 --> 00:14:46,078
They had a dog,
then they didn't.
339
00:14:46,185 --> 00:14:48,620
I asked Mr. and Mrs. Waring
about it, they wouldn't respond.
340
00:14:48,688 --> 00:14:50,179
That was eight months ago.
341
00:14:50,256 --> 00:14:51,849
He's made a lot of
progress since then.
342
00:14:51,924 --> 00:14:53,825
Not if he's graduated
to killing babies.
343
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,287
There's no evidence he did.
344
00:14:55,361 --> 00:14:57,023
Somebody did it.
345
00:14:57,096 --> 00:14:59,327
If it wasn't you or your wife...
346
00:15:01,601 --> 00:15:03,729
I agree with Ms. Carmichael.
347
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:05,334
It's in the boy's best interest
348
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:10,169
to have round the clock,
professional attention.
349
00:15:12,011 --> 00:15:14,537
SKODA: Were your
parents still asleep?
350
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:15,707
Yes.
351
00:15:16,983 --> 00:15:20,010
And you went into
the baby's room?
352
00:15:20,319 --> 00:15:21,412
Yes.
353
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:24,724
What did you do?
354
00:15:24,791 --> 00:15:27,727
I said hello to her.
She wouldn't look at me.
355
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:30,188
She was like that sometimes.
356
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,057
What did you do?
357
00:15:33,199 --> 00:15:34,963
I poked her, like this.
358
00:15:35,568 --> 00:15:37,161
Can you show me?
359
00:15:43,843 --> 00:15:45,436
Did you take her
out of the crib?
360
00:15:45,511 --> 00:15:46,535
Mmm-hmm.
361
00:15:46,813 --> 00:15:48,076
Did you drop her? Uh-uh.
362
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:50,548
I put her on the floor
and I hit her like this.
363
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:54,519
With your fist? Mmm-hmm.
364
00:15:55,388 --> 00:15:56,913
How many times?
365
00:15:59,225 --> 00:16:00,352
How hard did you hit her?
366
00:16:00,426 --> 00:16:03,055
Not too hard. She just
wouldn't look at me.
367
00:16:04,063 --> 00:16:06,055
Did you cut her face?
368
00:16:06,132 --> 00:16:08,158
I scratched her, like this.
369
00:16:10,036 --> 00:16:11,834
I wanted to make her cry.
370
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:13,372
Because she
wouldn't look at you?
371
00:16:13,439 --> 00:16:15,499
She didn't cry. She
hardly ever did cry.
372
00:16:16,309 --> 00:16:18,005
(SIGHS) Then what?
373
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:19,973
I went back to my room
374
00:16:20,046 --> 00:16:22,345
and I played with my dump truck.
375
00:16:25,618 --> 00:16:26,677
Did you mean to hurt her?
376
00:16:26,752 --> 00:16:28,015
Listen, it wasn't my fault.
377
00:16:28,087 --> 00:16:30,147
She just wouldn't look at me!
378
00:16:41,367 --> 00:16:42,892
(EXHALES)
379
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:45,536
You saw him. He
can't connect the dots.
380
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:48,507
He doesn't grasp that other
people exist apart from his needs.
381
00:16:48,941 --> 00:16:50,409
Sounds like half
the people I know.
382
00:16:50,476 --> 00:16:51,739
(EXHALES)
383
00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:55,277
Like I said, no empathy,
no conscience, no remorse.
384
00:16:57,216 --> 00:16:58,616
Arrest him.
385
00:16:59,252 --> 00:17:01,244
How about the people
who made him what he is?
386
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,380
Turn him into a psychopath,
then lock him up?
387
00:17:03,456 --> 00:17:06,517
Better now than after he
shoots up a schoolyard.
388
00:17:11,430 --> 00:17:12,608
CURTIS: We have to arrest him.
389
00:17:12,632 --> 00:17:13,759
No.
390
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:16,496
You want to put him someplace
with bars on the windows,
391
00:17:16,569 --> 00:17:18,970
guards at the doors,
20 kids to a room?
392
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,836
What the hell is
wrong with you people?
393
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:23,069
Please, just let him come home.
394
00:17:23,142 --> 00:17:25,543
I'm sorry, Mrs. Waring,
that's up to the court to decide.
395
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:28,103
(SHOUTING) Nicholas, you
have to come with us. Come on.
396
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:29,671
PHILLIP: Please!
He'll be all right.
397
00:17:29,749 --> 00:17:31,183
(CONTINUES SHOUTING)
398
00:17:34,287 --> 00:17:36,984
Arresting a seven-year-old
kid for murder?
399
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:39,890
A kid with a laundry list
of psychological problems?
400
00:17:39,959 --> 00:17:41,069
What was Carmichael thinking?
401
00:17:41,093 --> 00:17:42,152
Why don't you ask her?
402
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:43,252
I will.
403
00:17:43,329 --> 00:17:45,992
And I don't like the way she got
the parents removed as guardians.
404
00:17:46,065 --> 00:17:48,364
Sounds like you're sorry
you didn't think of it first.
405
00:17:48,434 --> 00:17:50,403
Her tactics are highhanded,
406
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:53,564
and she doesn't have enough
experience for major felonies.
407
00:17:53,639 --> 00:17:56,006
Four years in Special
Narcotics is nothing.
408
00:17:56,075 --> 00:17:59,307
A 95% conviction
rate isn't nothing.
409
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:02,109
She's earned her
stripes. Work with her.
410
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:10,023
I understand you're opening
a children's wing on death row.
411
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,157
Jack McCoy?
412
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,691
Abbie Carmichael. Thrilled
to be working with you.
413
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:18,025
As for Nicholas Waring,
414
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,057
I gave his parents a
chance to do it the easy way.
415
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:22,265
So you do an end run
around his civil rights?
416
00:18:22,335 --> 00:18:24,566
He's gone from dogs to babies.
417
00:18:24,637 --> 00:18:26,105
What's next?
418
00:18:26,172 --> 00:18:27,572
Should I have waited for him
419
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,609
to go after his parents
with a hammer?
420
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,611
You think he's better off in
children's lockup in Bellevue?
421
00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:34,909
I weighed his rights
against society's.
422
00:18:34,981 --> 00:18:37,314
My decision was
ethical and legal.
423
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:40,148
It's nothing for the disciplinary
committee to sweat over.
424
00:18:41,253 --> 00:18:42,551
(SCOFFS)
425
00:18:43,089 --> 00:18:44,785
If you have something
to say, say it.
426
00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,255
Sorry. I know they
exonerated you.
427
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:52,908
It's just that I don't like
being second-guessed, either.
428
00:18:52,932 --> 00:18:54,457
I wouldn't be
second-guessing you
429
00:18:54,533 --> 00:18:56,593
if you'd checked with me first.
430
00:18:57,069 --> 00:18:59,095
This is a team operation,
Ms. Carmichael.
431
00:18:59,205 --> 00:19:00,969
We discuss these things.
432
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:04,241
I'll keep that in mind.
433
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:06,870
The Warings filed their
appeal on guardianship.
434
00:19:06,946 --> 00:19:08,312
I started briefing our response,
435
00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:10,009
if you want to take a look.
436
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:11,550
I'm sure it's brilliant
and on point.
437
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:13,085
Unfortunately, it's all moot.
438
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:15,314
The boy didn't kill the baby.
439
00:19:18,457 --> 00:19:20,569
They told me the autopsy would
be ready at the end of the week.
440
00:19:20,593 --> 00:19:23,927
You should get to know the
cutters in the M.E.'s office.
441
00:19:23,996 --> 00:19:26,261
The cause of death
was heart failure.
442
00:19:26,332 --> 00:19:29,131
The cut and bruises
were inflicted postmortem.
443
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:31,463
This says the baby was
two and a half years old.
444
00:19:31,537 --> 00:19:33,096
The Warings' daughter
was 13 months.
445
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,800
They autopsied the wrong kid.
446
00:19:37,009 --> 00:19:38,773
Why don't you go
down to the M.E.'s office
447
00:19:38,844 --> 00:19:40,745
and introduce yourself.
448
00:19:44,884 --> 00:19:45,977
(DOOR SLAMS)
449
00:19:46,252 --> 00:19:49,381
It's the right baby, and
she was two and a half.
450
00:19:49,455 --> 00:19:51,014
Bone age doesn't lie.
451
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:52,581
But I saw her photos.
452
00:19:52,692 --> 00:19:56,094
Well, she looked younger
because she was underdeveloped.
453
00:19:56,162 --> 00:19:57,892
Long-term neglect.
454
00:19:57,963 --> 00:19:59,374
This cause of death
doesn't mean anything.
455
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:00,696
A bullet can
cause heart failure.
456
00:20:00,766 --> 00:20:02,826
Oh, this kid had massive
medical problems.
457
00:20:02,902 --> 00:20:03,979
I'm sorting through them all
458
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:06,905
to pinpoint the exact
cause of the heart failure.
459
00:20:06,972 --> 00:20:09,669
In the meantime, we have a
seven-year-old suspected of murder.
460
00:20:09,742 --> 00:20:11,142
So you do.
461
00:20:12,378 --> 00:20:14,540
All I can tell you now
is that little girl was dead
462
00:20:14,613 --> 00:20:17,242
by the time her brother
laid a hand on her.
463
00:20:17,650 --> 00:20:19,949
It's a relief to know
Nicholas didn't kill her.
464
00:20:20,019 --> 00:20:21,180
Thank you for telling us.
465
00:20:21,253 --> 00:20:22,380
Can he come home now?
466
00:20:24,757 --> 00:20:26,123
We still have a few questions.
467
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:28,184
What kind of questions?
468
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:31,458
You told the police you'd had
the baby for only a short time.
469
00:20:31,530 --> 00:20:32,930
LINDE: Three days.
470
00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:34,330
You have the adoption papers?
471
00:20:35,634 --> 00:20:36,874
Of course they have the papers.
472
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:39,167
Is there a custody issue
here over a dead baby?
473
00:20:39,238 --> 00:20:41,969
The issue is who had
the baby before them.
474
00:20:42,041 --> 00:20:43,532
I don't understand
the relevance.
475
00:20:43,609 --> 00:20:47,011
The Medical Examiner said the
baby suffered long-term neglect.
476
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,547
That's why she
appeared so small.
477
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:51,378
Small? My sister's
baby is the same age.
478
00:20:51,450 --> 00:20:54,887
According to the M.E., your
baby was two and a half years old.
479
00:20:57,556 --> 00:20:59,650
Now, where did you get the baby?
480
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,121
Gray market adoption?
481
00:21:03,796 --> 00:21:06,322
An independent
adoption, yes. We had to.
482
00:21:06,398 --> 00:21:09,527
A reputable agency wouldn't
put a baby near Nicholas?
483
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:12,503
The broker said
the baby was fine.
484
00:21:13,806 --> 00:21:15,536
We paid him $12,000.
485
00:21:16,208 --> 00:21:17,904
What was his name?
486
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:20,845
You know my files are
confidential, Ms. Carmichael.
487
00:21:20,913 --> 00:21:22,108
What I do is perfectly legal,
488
00:21:22,181 --> 00:21:24,776
so don't come in here and start
threatening me, you understand?
489
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:27,820
You passed on a baby who'd
been so severely neglected
490
00:21:27,887 --> 00:21:29,549
she had only days to live.
491
00:21:29,622 --> 00:21:32,353
If you think that's legal,
I've got bad news for you.
492
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:33,483
I didn't know.
493
00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:35,585
Where'd the baby come from?
494
00:21:37,530 --> 00:21:39,192
We're not letting go of this,
495
00:21:39,265 --> 00:21:42,167
and if I find out you knew anything
about the baby's condition...
496
00:21:42,234 --> 00:21:43,600
Look, I got a call
from a lawyer,
497
00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:45,968
he represented a woman who
wanted to get rid of her baby.
498
00:21:46,038 --> 00:21:47,700
What was the lawyer's name?
499
00:21:47,773 --> 00:21:50,072
Smith. John Smith.
500
00:21:50,676 --> 00:21:52,167
Look, the child's
papers are in order.
501
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:54,110
Here's the birth certificate.
502
00:21:55,681 --> 00:21:56,740
Diane Sullivan.
503
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:57,840
It's legitimate.
504
00:21:57,950 --> 00:21:59,782
The county recorder's
stamp is genuine.
505
00:21:59,819 --> 00:22:01,129
And here's the
health certificate,
506
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:04,817
signed by a Dr. Andre Kostov.
507
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,958
I called Mr. and Mrs.
Waring, who were thrilled.
508
00:22:11,030 --> 00:22:13,158
The lawyer brought
the baby to me,
509
00:22:13,232 --> 00:22:15,428
and the Warings picked her up.
510
00:22:15,801 --> 00:22:18,498
Did you speak to the
baby's birth parents?
511
00:22:18,571 --> 00:22:20,836
James and Patricia Sullivan?
512
00:22:20,906 --> 00:22:21,965
Why?
513
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,105
I don't understand.
514
00:22:25,778 --> 00:22:29,237
Diane died in a car accident
with my mother a year ago.
515
00:22:29,815 --> 00:22:31,545
She was just three months old.
516
00:22:31,617 --> 00:22:33,779
Somebody has used
her birth certificate
517
00:22:33,853 --> 00:22:36,448
to document and
sell another baby.
518
00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:39,989
They must've just
gone to the county clerk
519
00:22:40,059 --> 00:22:41,652
and pulled the
birth certificate.
520
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:43,161
The police looked into that.
521
00:22:43,229 --> 00:22:47,223
No one has requested her birth
certificate in the last 12 months.
522
00:22:47,399 --> 00:22:51,461
I need to know from you if anyone
besides you had the certificate.
523
00:22:53,205 --> 00:22:54,901
Only Edward Connery.
524
00:22:54,974 --> 00:22:56,203
The lawyer who represented us
525
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:59,609
in the wrongful death suit
against the other driver.
526
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:03,143
CARMICHAEL: Unless you want to
add convicted felon to your resume,
527
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:06,242
I suggest you tell us
where you got that baby.
528
00:23:07,286 --> 00:23:09,278
My client couldn't
keep it any longer.
529
00:23:09,355 --> 00:23:12,052
I agreed to arrange an
adoption. There's no felony.
530
00:23:12,124 --> 00:23:14,135
You're saying you were
unaware the baby was at risk?
531
00:23:14,159 --> 00:23:16,204
That's what I'm saying. I
was given a health certificate.
532
00:23:16,228 --> 00:23:18,663
Then why switch
birth certificates?
533
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,859
My client wanted me
to protect their privacy.
534
00:23:21,333 --> 00:23:22,573
We need to talk to your client.
535
00:23:24,136 --> 00:23:26,162
You know I can't divulge
privileged information.
536
00:23:26,772 --> 00:23:28,400
Your client's identity
is not privileged.
537
00:23:28,474 --> 00:23:29,498
I say it is.
538
00:23:29,575 --> 00:23:30,852
You want to be charged
as an accessory?
539
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:33,846
If you want to defend
a false arrest lawsuit.
540
00:23:35,547 --> 00:23:36,571
Arrest him.
541
00:23:37,683 --> 00:23:39,208
On what charge?
542
00:23:40,352 --> 00:23:42,548
Filing a false business
document, for starters.
543
00:23:46,892 --> 00:23:49,088
That should hold up
about 10 minutes, Abbie.
544
00:23:50,062 --> 00:23:52,793
The man is a partner
at Peterson and Gold.
545
00:23:52,865 --> 00:23:54,390
It doesn't make sense
he would dummy up
546
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:56,230
a birth certificate
for a client.
547
00:23:56,302 --> 00:23:58,601
It's closer to home. A relative.
548
00:23:59,004 --> 00:24:00,370
Or himself.
549
00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:03,268
Find out if he has a wife
or a girlfriend with a baby
550
00:24:03,342 --> 00:24:05,811
that suddenly isn't
there anymore.
551
00:24:05,878 --> 00:24:07,210
Thank you.
552
00:24:07,613 --> 00:24:10,481
At this time, we suspect
you of abandoning your baby.
553
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:13,178
Before we go on, we have
to advise you of your rights.
554
00:24:13,252 --> 00:24:14,276
I know my rights.
555
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,752
Are you waiving them
or asserting them?
556
00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:20,157
I want to talk to my husband.
557
00:24:20,893 --> 00:24:22,122
After he makes bail.
558
00:24:22,928 --> 00:24:25,557
Are you willing to
talk about the baby?
559
00:24:25,998 --> 00:24:27,796
You don't understand.
560
00:24:28,133 --> 00:24:29,567
She wasn't really ours.
561
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:32,605
We adopted her
about a month ago.
562
00:24:32,671 --> 00:24:34,196
VAN BUREN: And what?
563
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:37,174
More responsibility than you
wanted, so you just dumped her?
564
00:24:38,510 --> 00:24:41,207
CARMICHAEL: Why didn't
you return her to the agency?
565
00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:43,772
If you only had her for a month,
566
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:45,875
the adoption isn't final.
What's the problem?
567
00:24:47,953 --> 00:24:49,979
I want to see my attorney.
568
00:24:53,959 --> 00:24:55,689
Call this attorney,
tell her she's got
569
00:24:55,761 --> 00:24:58,629
a client under
investigation for a homicide.
570
00:24:58,731 --> 00:25:01,929
Homicide? We didn't have
anything to do with that.
571
00:25:02,401 --> 00:25:04,529
She was going to die anyway.
572
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,636
First, the baby
was born premature.
573
00:25:10,776 --> 00:25:11,903
How do you know?
574
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:14,503
There was evidence of an
old intraventricular hemorrhage,
575
00:25:14,580 --> 00:25:15,980
common in preemies.
576
00:25:16,048 --> 00:25:17,778
That didn't kill her?
577
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:18,943
(SIGHS) No.
578
00:25:19,018 --> 00:25:22,682
She also had atypical teratoid
growths in the spinal region.
579
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:25,056
Even otherwise healthy children
580
00:25:25,124 --> 00:25:27,389
almost never survive
that type of cancer.
581
00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:28,984
So she died of cancer?
582
00:25:29,094 --> 00:25:30,960
She died of a metabolic problem
583
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,590
called fatty acid
oxidation disorder.
584
00:25:33,966 --> 00:25:36,435
Her liver failed,
her heart failed.
585
00:25:36,802 --> 00:25:39,101
And so you know,
with proper treatment,
586
00:25:39,171 --> 00:25:41,140
almost nobody
dies of this disorder.
587
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:43,072
JACK: What's proper treatment?
588
00:25:43,142 --> 00:25:44,269
Diet.
589
00:25:44,843 --> 00:25:46,539
Treating infections
expeditiously.
590
00:25:46,612 --> 00:25:48,877
If she'd been fed right,
she would've lived?
591
00:25:48,947 --> 00:25:50,415
Until the cancer killed her.
592
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:52,750
Thank you.
593
00:25:53,352 --> 00:25:55,344
If we need anything
more, we'll call you.
594
00:25:56,455 --> 00:25:57,718
(SIGHS)
595
00:25:58,157 --> 00:26:00,319
I can probably get an
indictment for manslaughter.
596
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:04,386
Manslaughter? They never
gave that baby a chance.
597
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:06,489
They faked an identity for her,
598
00:26:06,565 --> 00:26:08,727
they never told anyone she
needed medical attention.
599
00:26:08,801 --> 00:26:11,134
I don't see any intent
here to kill this baby.
600
00:26:11,203 --> 00:26:13,866
CARMICHAEL: It's depraved
indifference. Murder two.
601
00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:15,183
They knew the
baby was gonna die.
602
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:16,551
They didn't care
one way or the other.
603
00:26:16,575 --> 00:26:19,170
Assumption. Charge
them with man one.
604
00:26:19,278 --> 00:26:23,306
So, we send a message
it's sort of okay to kill a baby?
605
00:26:24,683 --> 00:26:26,015
This isn't a couple of teenagers
606
00:26:26,085 --> 00:26:28,045
who killed their newborn
because they were scared.
607
00:26:28,087 --> 00:26:31,854
These are two adults who went to
a lot of trouble to dump a dying child
608
00:26:31,924 --> 00:26:34,086
and to cover their tracks.
609
00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:37,755
I may be the new kid here, but
to me this sounds like murder.
610
00:26:43,402 --> 00:26:44,768
Megan, what are you doing here?
611
00:26:44,837 --> 00:26:47,204
She's under arrest for murder,
Mr. Connery. And so are you.
612
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:48,296
Let's go.
613
00:26:48,373 --> 00:26:50,501
You want a lawyer, Counselor?
614
00:26:53,645 --> 00:26:55,580
It was a spontaneous
admission, Your Honor,
615
00:26:55,647 --> 00:26:57,115
there's no basis
for suppression.
616
00:26:57,182 --> 00:26:59,276
Mrs. Connery had
asked to see her attorney.
617
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:01,785
Ms. Carmichael was required
to cease the questioning.
618
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:03,584
And the questioning did cease.
619
00:27:03,655 --> 00:27:06,716
Lieutenant Van Buren made an
offhand remark to a police officer.
620
00:27:06,792 --> 00:27:08,920
All Mrs. Connery had to
do was keep her mouth shut.
621
00:27:09,228 --> 00:27:11,629
You're splitting
hairs, Mr. McCoy.
622
00:27:11,864 --> 00:27:14,834
The lieutenant made a
provocative and unnecessary remark.
623
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:18,393
Maybe it was designed to
elicit an unguarded response
624
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:20,530
from Mrs. Connery, maybe not.
625
00:27:20,606 --> 00:27:21,835
No, sir, it wasn't.
626
00:27:21,907 --> 00:27:23,418
ROCKWELL: Now, I've seen
enough of these charades
627
00:27:23,442 --> 00:27:25,536
to know the likelihood is there.
628
00:27:25,911 --> 00:27:27,209
I'm suppressing her statement
629
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:28,907
they knew the child
was in poor health.
630
00:27:29,014 --> 00:27:32,109
Mrs. Connery's statement is
the only evidence the D.A. has
631
00:27:32,184 --> 00:27:34,278
that they knew about the
baby's medical condition.
632
00:27:34,353 --> 00:27:36,913
There's no longer any basis
for the charges against them.
633
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:39,390
Your Honor, these people
callously and deliberately
634
00:27:39,458 --> 00:27:41,120
abandoned a sick little girl,
635
00:27:41,193 --> 00:27:42,718
who died because
of their actions.
636
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:45,730
And I wish you luck in
proving that, Mr. McCoy,
637
00:27:45,797 --> 00:27:48,961
but until you have admissible
evidence to that effect,
638
00:27:49,034 --> 00:27:50,627
the charges are dismissed.
639
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:55,831
The Connerys found out
somehow about the child's condition.
640
00:27:55,908 --> 00:27:58,537
What about the doctor who
signed the health certificate, Kostov?
641
00:27:58,644 --> 00:27:59,805
Was he part of the collusion?
642
00:27:59,845 --> 00:28:02,110
He's not listed in the
state medical association.
643
00:28:02,214 --> 00:28:03,591
The cops are trying
to track him down.
644
00:28:03,615 --> 00:28:06,346
The Connerys must've
had a pediatrician.
645
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:09,678
I'll check with their
medical insurance company.
646
00:28:09,755 --> 00:28:12,520
I've been her
gynecologist for 15 years.
647
00:28:12,591 --> 00:28:15,959
All I can say is that I counseled
them to consider adoption.
648
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:17,272
You thought they'd
be good parents?
649
00:28:17,296 --> 00:28:19,595
No reason to consider otherwise.
650
00:28:20,032 --> 00:28:21,943
Would it surprise you to
know that they kept the baby
651
00:28:21,967 --> 00:28:24,266
for three weeks
and then got rid of it?
652
00:28:24,336 --> 00:28:26,931
The Connerys? No, there
must be some mistake.
653
00:28:27,272 --> 00:28:28,604
They were so desperate to adopt
654
00:28:28,674 --> 00:28:30,700
they went halfway
around the world.
655
00:28:30,776 --> 00:28:33,007
Where's halfway
around the world?
656
00:28:33,078 --> 00:28:34,307
Russia.
657
00:28:37,015 --> 00:28:39,610
I checked with U.S. Immigration
and the Russian consulate.
658
00:28:39,685 --> 00:28:42,621
The Connerys have been to Vologda,
Russia, twice in the last three months.
659
00:28:42,821 --> 00:28:46,588
The second time they brought
back a baby girl, Mariana Petrova.
660
00:28:46,658 --> 00:28:48,578
Still doesn't prove they
knew the child was sick.
661
00:28:49,661 --> 00:28:52,153
No, but I've located Dr. Kostov.
662
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:56,066
I am a diplomat.
663
00:28:56,401 --> 00:28:59,428
I am attached to the
World Health Organization.
664
00:29:03,809 --> 00:29:05,437
Nice try. I checked.
665
00:29:05,877 --> 00:29:08,346
You're a temporary
consultant without immunity.
666
00:29:08,413 --> 00:29:10,258
Why did you sign a
health certificate for a baby
667
00:29:10,282 --> 00:29:12,046
with serious medical problems?
668
00:29:12,117 --> 00:29:14,518
To my knowledge, I
have done no such thing.
669
00:29:14,953 --> 00:29:16,581
If you excuse me.
670
00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:19,481
I checked with immigration.
671
00:29:19,558 --> 00:29:21,823
Dr. Kostov signed
numerous health certificates
672
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:24,226
for Russian children
adopted by Americans.
673
00:29:24,296 --> 00:29:25,821
Where does he get the children?
674
00:29:25,897 --> 00:29:28,492
He has an exclusive deal with
three orphanages in Vologda
675
00:29:28,567 --> 00:29:32,026
who offer the children for
adoption to foreign couples.
676
00:29:32,371 --> 00:29:33,862
How many couples did you find?
677
00:29:33,939 --> 00:29:35,066
Eight.
678
00:29:35,140 --> 00:29:36,904
They were given
sick children, too?
679
00:29:36,975 --> 00:29:39,137
Two of the families have
had no problems as yet.
680
00:29:39,211 --> 00:29:41,373
The others do, to
varying degrees.
681
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:43,745
JACK: And he told them
the children were healthy?
682
00:29:43,815 --> 00:29:45,215
Yes.
683
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:48,254
One family adopted a
little boy with a club foot.
684
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,481
Easily correctable.
685
00:29:49,554 --> 00:29:51,785
Dr. Kostov said that was
the only thing wrong with him.
686
00:29:52,257 --> 00:29:55,318
So far they've spent $80,000
in fixing other problems,
687
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:57,863
and that's on top of the 20
grand they paid Dr. Kostov
688
00:29:57,929 --> 00:29:59,591
for the placement.
689
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:01,699
He's peddling defective children
690
00:30:01,767 --> 00:30:03,326
without regard
for their welfare.
691
00:30:03,402 --> 00:30:05,837
Or the welfare of
the adoptive parents.
692
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:08,203
A fine summation.
What's the charge?
693
00:30:08,273 --> 00:30:09,784
JACK: Same as the
Connerys. Murder two.
694
00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:10,901
Depraved indifference.
695
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,342
CARMICHAEL: It's a stretch.
696
00:30:12,411 --> 00:30:14,243
He's one step removed
from the child's death.
697
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:15,747
Morally, he's just as culpable.
698
00:30:17,549 --> 00:30:19,313
You need one to
convict the other.
699
00:30:19,384 --> 00:30:21,148
See who blinks first.
700
00:30:21,687 --> 00:30:23,656
The only way my clients
will plead to anything
701
00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:26,088
is you agree to
a fine and a walk.
702
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:27,387
CARMICHAEL: A fine?
703
00:30:27,459 --> 00:30:29,087
For filing a false document.
704
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:30,754
How much for killing a baby?
705
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:33,993
Please. We didn't
mean for her to die.
706
00:30:34,066 --> 00:30:35,932
If Dr. Kostov hadn't lied to us,
707
00:30:36,001 --> 00:30:37,178
none of this would've happened.
708
00:30:37,202 --> 00:30:40,434
The offer is man one,
minimum sentence
709
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:42,474
and you testify
against Dr. Kostov.
710
00:30:46,144 --> 00:30:48,704
JACK: You gave Mariana
Petrova a clean bill of health.
711
00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:51,909
She died of a diagnosable
and treatable disease.
712
00:30:52,284 --> 00:30:55,550
I told the Connerys to
make sure she ate regularly
713
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:57,551
and got plenty of Vitamin A.
714
00:30:58,156 --> 00:30:59,920
Did you tell them
about the spinal tumors?
715
00:30:59,991 --> 00:31:03,189
I knew nothing of spinal tumors.
716
00:31:03,261 --> 00:31:04,729
You can try and sell that.
717
00:31:04,796 --> 00:31:07,163
I'm asking the Grand Jury
for a murder two indictment.
718
00:31:07,232 --> 00:31:08,232
You can't be serious.
719
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:10,078
My client is a distinguished
representative...
720
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:12,936
Your client is a ghoul who
traffics in dying children.
721
00:31:13,004 --> 00:31:16,668
Whatever actions Dr. Kostov
took occurred on Russian soil.
722
00:31:16,742 --> 00:31:17,835
You have no jurisdiction.
723
00:31:17,909 --> 00:31:21,346
The baby died here.
It's a result offense.
724
00:31:21,413 --> 00:31:23,211
CPL-2010, Sub Three.
725
00:31:23,281 --> 00:31:24,641
I have all the
jurisdiction I need.
726
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:26,617
What are you angling
for, Mr. McCoy?
727
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,029
CARMICHAEL: Whatever
your client can tell us
728
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,681
about his dealings
with the Connerys.
729
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:34,091
Man one, minimum sentence.
730
00:31:36,595 --> 00:31:37,995
Three-to-six.
731
00:31:38,063 --> 00:31:39,998
No, no, no, no, no, no.
732
00:31:41,266 --> 00:31:43,098
I am not responsible
for any of this.
733
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:49,068
If that's your position, you can
take your chances with a jury.
734
00:31:53,779 --> 00:31:55,042
(DOOR OPENS)
735
00:31:55,313 --> 00:31:56,337
(DOOR CLOSES)
736
00:31:56,415 --> 00:31:58,611
So, who do you
want to put on trial?
737
00:31:59,418 --> 00:32:00,818
All of them.
738
00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:07,482
ATKINS: I was the
physician in charge
739
00:32:07,559 --> 00:32:10,552
the night the Connery's
brought their child into the E.R.
740
00:32:10,629 --> 00:32:11,927
What was wrong with her?
741
00:32:11,997 --> 00:32:13,158
They said she wouldn't eat.
742
00:32:13,231 --> 00:32:15,223
She was vomiting.
We stabilized her,
743
00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:16,598
and I suggested to the parents
744
00:32:16,668 --> 00:32:18,432
that she be admitted for tests.
745
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:19,596
Why?
746
00:32:19,805 --> 00:32:23,537
She was lethargic, undersized,
had poor muscle tone.
747
00:32:24,309 --> 00:32:26,471
What was the
result of the tests?
748
00:32:26,545 --> 00:32:28,343
The carnitine level
led us to suspect
749
00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:30,644
fatty acid oxidation disorder.
750
00:32:30,916 --> 00:32:34,478
Tests also uncovered several
cancerous spinal tumors.
751
00:32:34,619 --> 00:32:36,247
Were the cancers treatable?
752
00:32:36,321 --> 00:32:38,290
Well, surgery wasn't an option.
753
00:32:38,356 --> 00:32:40,052
I told them they could
try chemotherapy,
754
00:32:40,125 --> 00:32:41,559
but that any course of treatment
755
00:32:41,626 --> 00:32:43,492
would be very expensive
and the outcome
756
00:32:43,562 --> 00:32:45,656
was unlikely to be positive.
757
00:32:45,864 --> 00:32:47,696
This is a cancer that kills.
758
00:32:47,766 --> 00:32:49,359
Always? Virtually.
759
00:32:50,001 --> 00:32:51,663
How long could
the child have lived?
760
00:32:51,770 --> 00:32:53,534
A year, maybe two.
761
00:32:56,341 --> 00:32:59,743
Doctor, what is fatty
acid oxidation disorder?
762
00:32:59,845 --> 00:33:04,010
Well, as the name implies, the
system is unable to oxidize fatty acids,
763
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,813
so the deposits
build up in the liver.
764
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:07,108
Fatal?
765
00:33:07,185 --> 00:33:09,177
If it goes untreated, yes.
766
00:33:09,254 --> 00:33:10,722
Possibly in a matter of days.
767
00:33:11,223 --> 00:33:14,250
Is there a scientifically
recognized treatment?
768
00:33:14,326 --> 00:33:17,387
Well, the factors that
stimulate the disorder,
769
00:33:17,462 --> 00:33:19,226
infection and improper diet,
770
00:33:19,297 --> 00:33:22,699
control these and the patient
can live a normal life span.
771
00:33:22,767 --> 00:33:25,362
Did you give all this information
to Mr. and Mrs. Connery?
772
00:33:26,204 --> 00:33:27,297
Yes.
773
00:33:27,672 --> 00:33:29,334
No more questions.
774
00:33:32,110 --> 00:33:34,170
If that was a little
rough, Mrs. Waring,
775
00:33:34,246 --> 00:33:36,613
we can call you after the
trial, give you the verdict.
776
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:39,276
Now you worry about
being rough on us?
777
00:33:39,551 --> 00:33:41,262
You don't have to put
yourselves through this.
778
00:33:41,286 --> 00:33:42,618
It's so...
779
00:33:45,357 --> 00:33:48,691
I still can't believe anybody
would do what they did.
780
00:33:49,194 --> 00:33:51,425
All they had to do was tell us.
781
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:54,162
We would have taken her anyway.
782
00:34:00,338 --> 00:34:02,034
I had no reason to suppose
783
00:34:02,107 --> 00:34:05,942
the child would not respond
to affection and a proper diet.
784
00:34:06,578 --> 00:34:09,446
Did you know she had a
specific metabolic disorder?
785
00:34:09,514 --> 00:34:10,948
No, I did not.
786
00:34:11,016 --> 00:34:12,780
Did you know she had cancer?
787
00:34:12,851 --> 00:34:14,410
No, I did not.
788
00:34:14,486 --> 00:34:17,650
So when the Connerys told
you, it came as a surprise to you?
789
00:34:17,923 --> 00:34:21,451
Yes. They wanted me
to take the child back.
790
00:34:22,127 --> 00:34:24,824
A child is not a defective
washing machine.
791
00:34:25,363 --> 00:34:28,731
I told them they cannot
return it to the manufacturer.
792
00:34:29,267 --> 00:34:30,633
Thank you.
793
00:34:32,103 --> 00:34:33,662
So, it's your testimony
you didn't know
794
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:35,468
that Mariana was gravely ill?
795
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:36,633
Yes.
796
00:34:37,208 --> 00:34:40,042
People's 17, Your Honor.
A translation of a report
797
00:34:40,111 --> 00:34:42,239
prepared by the
director of the orphanage
798
00:34:42,314 --> 00:34:44,340
Mariana Connery came from.
799
00:34:45,283 --> 00:34:48,253
Could you read the
highlighted section, Doctor?
800
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:56,451
"Every effort should be made to
find American and European families
801
00:34:56,528 --> 00:34:58,360
"for orphans with
medical problems
802
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:01,763
"that cannot be successfully
treated in this country.
803
00:35:02,167 --> 00:35:06,036
"We can place most of the healthy
children with Russian families."
804
00:35:06,104 --> 00:35:10,565
So, your mission is to
palm off sick children
805
00:35:10,642 --> 00:35:12,838
on unsuspecting
Americans, Dr. Kostov?
806
00:35:12,911 --> 00:35:16,507
You people have the
resources to help them. We don't.
807
00:35:16,615 --> 00:35:19,779
Oh, I see, your motives
are altruistic, is that right?
808
00:35:19,851 --> 00:35:20,910
Yes.
809
00:35:21,286 --> 00:35:23,687
And to accomplish
this laudable goal,
810
00:35:23,788 --> 00:35:26,849
you sign false health
certificates, is that right?
811
00:35:28,093 --> 00:35:29,093
If I must.
812
00:35:29,194 --> 00:35:33,188
And in exchange for this,
you put $20,000 per child
813
00:35:33,264 --> 00:35:35,665
into your altruistic
pocket, is that right?
814
00:35:35,734 --> 00:35:39,694
$20,000 can save a
lot of children in Russia.
815
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:43,975
There is an epidemic
of child abandonment.
816
00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:48,275
Every year the spring thaw
uncovers hundreds of dead babies
817
00:35:48,346 --> 00:35:51,874
who were pushed down into
the snow and left there to die.
818
00:35:54,019 --> 00:35:55,419
I am saving as many as I can.
819
00:35:56,454 --> 00:35:57,752
People's 18.
820
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:02,825
A translation of a financial
statement from the same orphanage.
821
00:36:03,261 --> 00:36:06,129
You'll note the
highlighted section, Doctor.
822
00:36:06,898 --> 00:36:10,300
Does it indicate that the
orphanage receives $2,000
823
00:36:10,368 --> 00:36:11,700
for each foreign placement?
824
00:36:14,005 --> 00:36:15,871
Where does the other $18,000 go?
825
00:36:17,242 --> 00:36:18,904
Your Jaguar?
826
00:36:18,977 --> 00:36:20,377
Your expensive home in Odessa?
827
00:36:20,445 --> 00:36:21,445
Objection.
828
00:36:21,513 --> 00:36:23,379
The $1,500 Italian
suit you're wearing?
829
00:36:23,448 --> 00:36:25,974
Enough, Mr. McCoy.
You've made your point.
830
00:36:26,117 --> 00:36:27,949
Why accuse me?
831
00:36:28,987 --> 00:36:31,115
Why don't you accuse them?
832
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:34,216
To them, children are
like fashion accessories.
833
00:36:34,359 --> 00:36:36,385
Something to fill
out their empty lives.
834
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:37,528
Objection.
835
00:36:37,595 --> 00:36:39,689
They wanted a perfect child.
836
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:42,030
Even God cannot guarantee that.
837
00:36:42,133 --> 00:36:46,696
That will do, Dr. Kostov.
The jury will disregard.
838
00:36:47,105 --> 00:36:48,164
Mr. McCoy?
839
00:36:50,909 --> 00:36:52,844
I have nothing further.
840
00:36:55,246 --> 00:36:59,183
MEGAN: When Edward and I
found out we couldn't conceive a child,
841
00:36:59,284 --> 00:37:01,116
we were devastated.
842
00:37:01,152 --> 00:37:03,621
Like everybody,
we wanted a family.
843
00:37:04,622 --> 00:37:07,421
We saw infertility experts,
844
00:37:07,859 --> 00:37:11,091
underwent dozens of
procedures, but nothing worked.
845
00:37:11,429 --> 00:37:14,661
After a while, we
decided to adopt.
846
00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:17,995
MARSDALE: How did
you meet Dr. Kostov?
847
00:37:18,069 --> 00:37:21,164
Through an agency that specializes
in Eastern European adoptions.
848
00:37:21,873 --> 00:37:24,900
What were you told
about her background?
849
00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:28,504
Dr. Kostov told us that Mariana
had been in the orphanage
850
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:30,412
for only a few weeks.
851
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:33,350
That her mother had given her up
852
00:37:33,418 --> 00:37:36,354
because she wanted
her to have a better life.
853
00:37:38,056 --> 00:37:40,218
Did he tell you she was sick?
854
00:37:41,593 --> 00:37:44,495
He told us that she was healthy,
855
00:37:45,997 --> 00:37:49,399
but she would get sick if
she stayed in the orphanage.
856
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:52,432
The conditions were deplorable.
857
00:37:52,804 --> 00:37:55,330
It was just a
warehouse for children.
858
00:37:55,774 --> 00:37:58,005
Dr. Kostov pleaded
with us to save her,
859
00:37:58,109 --> 00:38:01,477
to take her to the United
States and give her a good home.
860
00:38:02,313 --> 00:38:07,479
Later, you found
out how sick she was.
861
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:10,354
What was your reaction?
862
00:38:11,623 --> 00:38:15,958
We were upset. We
felt so bad for her.
863
00:38:16,461 --> 00:38:18,054
What did you do?
864
00:38:19,497 --> 00:38:22,934
Edward and I talked
about it for days.
865
00:38:23,401 --> 00:38:26,894
We thought at first that
we'd be able to deal with it.
866
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:28,599
But we couldn't.
867
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:32,274
We tried to return
her to Dr. Kostov.
868
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:34,969
He wouldn't take her back.
869
00:38:35,380 --> 00:38:38,748
He said that she was
our responsibility now.
870
00:38:39,617 --> 00:38:41,415
Then what did you do?
871
00:38:42,353 --> 00:38:45,846
We tried to find someone
who would take her.
872
00:38:45,924 --> 00:38:48,484
Adoption agencies, baby brokers.
873
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,860
One broker told us that she
had a snowball's chance in hell
874
00:38:51,930 --> 00:38:54,161
of being placed anywhere else.
875
00:38:54,566 --> 00:38:56,660
So we called another broker,
876
00:38:57,569 --> 00:38:58,969
and we lied.
877
00:39:00,138 --> 00:39:04,234
He said he knew a
couple who would take her.
878
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:07,638
Did you think you were
doing the right thing?
879
00:39:07,712 --> 00:39:11,877
We honestly thought
that she'd be better off.
880
00:39:15,820 --> 00:39:17,345
When I was six,
881
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:22,722
my older brother got cancer.
882
00:39:25,663 --> 00:39:28,155
He died three years later.
883
00:39:29,434 --> 00:39:32,495
My parents were drained,
financially and emotionally.
884
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:36,269
The ordeal destroyed
their marriage.
885
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:39,708
I'm not Mother Teresa.
886
00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:45,007
I just don't have the emotional
resources to go through that.
887
00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,418
Thank you, Mrs. Connery.
888
00:39:50,021 --> 00:39:53,549
Mrs. Connery, was Mariana
covered under your medical insurance?
889
00:39:53,625 --> 00:39:55,457
No. We couldn't get coverage
890
00:39:55,526 --> 00:39:58,291
because of her preexisting
medical conditions.
891
00:39:58,363 --> 00:40:02,266
So, the cost of treating her
would've been borne entirely by you?
892
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:03,460
Yes.
893
00:40:03,534 --> 00:40:05,366
You knew she
required a specific diet
894
00:40:05,436 --> 00:40:06,904
to keep her
alive, is that right?
895
00:40:06,971 --> 00:40:08,337
Yes.
896
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:11,740
You knew from experience
how difficult it was to feed her?
897
00:40:11,809 --> 00:40:12,868
Yes.
898
00:40:12,944 --> 00:40:15,539
But when you abandoned
Mariana to the broker,
899
00:40:15,613 --> 00:40:18,606
you decided to keep that tidbit
of information to yourself, correct?
900
00:40:20,952 --> 00:40:21,976
Yes.
901
00:40:22,053 --> 00:40:24,545
Did it occur to you
to call the broker
902
00:40:24,622 --> 00:40:26,318
and tell him after she
was in her new home?
903
00:40:26,391 --> 00:40:29,589
I assumed that
whoever got the baby
904
00:40:29,661 --> 00:40:31,220
would take her to the doctor,
905
00:40:31,296 --> 00:40:33,492
and they would find out
what was wrong with her.
906
00:40:33,564 --> 00:40:36,124
Doesn't it bother you that your
assumption cost Mariana her life?
907
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:37,745
Objection!
CARMICHAEL: Your Honor,
908
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:39,513
they raised the defendant's
state of mind on direct.
909
00:40:39,537 --> 00:40:41,403
I'm entitled to cross on it.
910
00:40:41,472 --> 00:40:44,704
Overruled. Answer the
question, Mrs. Connery.
911
00:40:47,145 --> 00:40:49,239
We were trying to do
what was best for her.
912
00:40:49,314 --> 00:40:51,681
Then why falsify documents?
913
00:40:51,816 --> 00:40:53,148
Why hide where she came from?
914
00:40:53,217 --> 00:40:54,583
In fact,
915
00:40:54,652 --> 00:40:57,554
as long as you could make
her somebody else's problem,
916
00:40:57,655 --> 00:40:59,988
you just didn't give
a damn, did you?
917
00:41:00,024 --> 00:41:02,050
It's easy for you
to sit in judgment,
918
00:41:02,126 --> 00:41:04,357
but what would you have done?
919
00:41:04,662 --> 00:41:09,123
Please, tell me. What
should we have done?
920
00:41:13,638 --> 00:41:16,005
Did you call
Children's Services?
921
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:17,839
Did you talk to your own doctor?
922
00:41:19,010 --> 00:41:20,501
Did you talk to other families
923
00:41:20,578 --> 00:41:22,843
who were in similar situations?
924
00:41:23,848 --> 00:41:25,282
Did you, Mrs. Connery?
925
00:41:28,886 --> 00:41:29,979
No.
926
00:41:35,093 --> 00:41:37,528
I have nothing
further, Your Honor.
927
00:41:43,701 --> 00:41:46,170
Why should I make
a deal with you now?
928
00:41:46,237 --> 00:41:48,502
No room for mercy, Mr. McCoy?
929
00:41:48,573 --> 00:41:50,007
What can you offer?
930
00:41:50,074 --> 00:41:51,440
EDWARD: Our remorse.
931
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:55,412
We feel terrible
about what we did.
932
00:41:56,748 --> 00:41:58,508
Did you feel terrible
before you were caught?
933
00:41:59,784 --> 00:42:02,379
You accept your responsibility
for Mariana's death?
934
00:42:02,453 --> 00:42:03,921
Dr. Kos...
935
00:42:06,491 --> 00:42:08,926
Yes, we do.
936
00:42:12,363 --> 00:42:14,889
Is the man one offer
still on the table?
937
00:42:16,834 --> 00:42:18,700
We'll get back to you.
938
00:42:21,606 --> 00:42:24,098
They'll be pariahs for
the rest of their lives.
939
00:42:24,175 --> 00:42:25,234
They lose a few friends.
940
00:42:25,309 --> 00:42:26,709
That's your idea of justice?
941
00:42:28,279 --> 00:42:31,841
Three-to-six years in a
state prison is not a cakewalk.
942
00:42:32,683 --> 00:42:35,812
How many drug dealers
got a free pass from you?
943
00:42:35,887 --> 00:42:38,516
The ones who could give
me someone bigger in return.
944
00:42:38,589 --> 00:42:41,286
All the Connerys have to offer
is their plea-bargained remorse.
945
00:42:41,359 --> 00:42:43,103
She's still trying to
blame it off on Kostov.
946
00:42:43,127 --> 00:42:44,338
Did you see her
husband cut her off?
947
00:42:44,362 --> 00:42:46,263
She's the least
culpable of the three.
948
00:42:46,531 --> 00:42:48,693
Oh, gentlemen, please.
949
00:42:49,500 --> 00:42:52,868
That sorry excuse for a
woman has a hole in her soul.
950
00:42:52,937 --> 00:42:54,303
That's enough.
951
00:42:54,372 --> 00:42:55,840
I can take care of myself, Adam.
952
00:42:55,907 --> 00:42:57,773
Then remain objective.
953
00:42:58,176 --> 00:43:01,476
It was Edward Connery's actions
that directly caused a little girl's death.
954
00:43:01,546 --> 00:43:03,538
And he's an attorney. He
knew what he was doing.
955
00:43:03,614 --> 00:43:06,345
The Connerys will
never do this again.
956
00:43:06,417 --> 00:43:09,353
Kostov has and will,
over and over again.
957
00:43:10,154 --> 00:43:12,419
Kostov's children better
off in their new homes?
958
00:43:12,490 --> 00:43:14,322
CARMICHAEL: All but Mariana.
959
00:43:16,928 --> 00:43:18,863
I have a solution that
will make us all happy.
960
00:43:19,464 --> 00:43:20,727
What's that?
961
00:43:20,798 --> 00:43:23,563
No deals for anybody.
Let's hang them all.
962
00:43:24,469 --> 00:43:26,062
(LAUGHS)
963
00:43:38,116 --> 00:43:40,517
ROCKWELL: As to the
defendant, Andre Kostov,
964
00:43:40,585 --> 00:43:42,417
on the first count
of the indictment.
965
00:43:42,487 --> 00:43:44,456
Murder in the Second
Degree, how do you find?
966
00:43:44,922 --> 00:43:45,946
Not guilty.
967
00:43:46,090 --> 00:43:47,217
As to the second count,
968
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:49,817
Manslaughter in the First
Degree, how do you find?
969
00:43:50,128 --> 00:43:51,255
FOREMAN: Guilty.
970
00:43:51,329 --> 00:43:53,560
As to the defendant,
Edward Connery,
971
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:55,071
on the first count
of the indictment,
972
00:43:55,099 --> 00:43:57,034
Murder in the Second
Degree, how do you find?
973
00:43:57,101 --> 00:43:58,160
Not guilty.
974
00:43:58,269 --> 00:44:00,704
On the Second Count,
Manslaughter in the First Degree,
975
00:44:00,738 --> 00:44:02,366
how do you find? Guilty.
976
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,773
As to the defendant,
Megan Connery,
977
00:44:04,842 --> 00:44:06,777
on the first count
of the indictment,
978
00:44:06,844 --> 00:44:09,143
Murder in the Second
Degree, how do you find?
979
00:44:09,213 --> 00:44:10,374
Not guilty.
980
00:44:10,448 --> 00:44:13,441
On the second count,
Manslaughter in the First Degree,
981
00:44:14,018 --> 00:44:15,714
how do you find?
982
00:44:15,786 --> 00:44:17,516
Guilty, Your Honor.
983
00:44:24,629 --> 00:44:26,257
Man one all around.
984
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:28,959
I'll start working on the
pre-sentence reports.
985
00:44:29,033 --> 00:44:30,934
Any suggestions?
986
00:44:31,002 --> 00:44:33,680
You mean, who should spend more
time in prison? Kostov or the Connerys?
987
00:44:33,704 --> 00:44:35,263
Don't get me started.
988
00:44:35,339 --> 00:44:37,399
We can always skip the
report and take no position.
989
00:44:37,475 --> 00:44:38,568
Leave it to the judge.
990
00:44:38,643 --> 00:44:41,477
Let's do that, for the
sake of world peace.
991
00:44:41,746 --> 00:44:44,079
The Warings filed a
petition to get their son back.
992
00:44:44,148 --> 00:44:46,348
We have till the end of the
week to file our objections.
993
00:44:46,384 --> 00:44:48,853
Can you and I
agree we're too busy?
994
00:44:51,789 --> 00:44:52,916
Deal.76135
