(Williams) 'Victim's name is
bill Johns. Thirty four, salesman.'
7
00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:12,530
shot after work as he was
getting to his car to go home.
8
00:01:12,572 --> 00:01:15,532
Leaves behind a wife
and eleven month old baby.
9
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:18,445
I hear we have something
on the sniper shooting.
10
00:01:18,495 --> 00:01:20,455
We've already got
a suspect in custody.
11
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:23,287
Richard Nelson,
45. Married, two kids.
12
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:24,673
Tell me it wasn't random.
13
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,749
Nothing like a random sniper
shooting to panic the public.
14
00:01:27,796 --> 00:01:28,916
Ex co-workers.
15
00:01:28,963 --> 00:01:32,133
Eight months ago Nelson
got fired and Johns got his job.
16
00:01:32,175 --> 00:01:33,425
Love an up front motive.
17
00:01:33,468 --> 00:01:36,548
You'll be ecstatic about this.
Bullet came from a high end
18
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:38,176
sniper rifle
called an air tooth.
19
00:01:38,223 --> 00:01:40,643
- Nelson's?
- Something of a gun collector
20
00:01:40,683 --> 00:01:43,193
owns the only one
registered in the county.
21
00:01:43,228 --> 00:01:44,458
Claims it was stolen last year.
22
00:01:44,479 --> 00:01:46,729
- Did he report it?
- Never got around to it.
23
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:49,033
It's probably at the bottom
of a pond somewhere.
24
00:01:49,067 --> 00:01:51,397
Police are searching
for it. Maybe we get lucky.
25
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:53,114
- Ballistics?
- They uncovered the round
26
00:01:53,154 --> 00:01:56,534
which is in pretty good
shape. Just need to find a rifle.
27
00:01:56,574 --> 00:01:57,954
- 'What else?'
- That morning
28
00:01:57,992 --> 00:02:00,792
witnesses saw Nelson parked
in the back of the factory lot.
29
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:04,459
Ex co-workers say, he did
that a lot since he lost his job.
30
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:05,829
Just sit there and watch.
31
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,245
- Recon.
- What are these?
32
00:02:08,294 --> 00:02:11,554
E-mails sent to bill Johns
after Nelson was fired.
33
00:02:11,589 --> 00:02:15,049
Ouch. If you're gonna
threaten someone's life...
34
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:16,893
Never put it in writing.
35
00:02:16,928 --> 00:02:18,098
How did we get them?
36
00:02:18,138 --> 00:02:21,178
Victim's wife, Mrs. Johns,
gave them to the police.
37
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:23,184
Annabeth, you talk to her.
38
00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:26,936
We were friends. I
was close to his wife.
39
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:29,610
Kim helped me a lot
when our son was born.
40
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:32,319
I didn't know
anything about babies.
41
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Boys, they were
complete mystery.
42
00:02:35,238 --> 00:02:36,408
She's got two.
43
00:02:36,447 --> 00:02:38,737
And when Richard
Nelson got fired?
44
00:02:38,783 --> 00:02:40,583
(Jackie) 'Everything changed.'
45
00:02:40,618 --> 00:02:43,828
Richard accused bill of
padding his sales figures.
46
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:45,422
Of forcing his
clients to pre-order
47
00:02:45,456 --> 00:02:47,706
in order to make his
numbers look good.
48
00:02:47,750 --> 00:02:49,250
Did bill do that?
49
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:51,964
Richard was bill's mentor.
50
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,415
Bill was just a better salesman.
51
00:02:53,464 --> 00:02:57,094
He was... He was younger,
he was more outgoing.
52
00:02:57,135 --> 00:03:00,595
He had the gift of gab.
My dad always said.
53
00:03:00,638 --> 00:03:02,468
Charmed the birds
out of the trees.
54
00:03:02,515 --> 00:03:04,975
When did the
hostile e-mails start?
55
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,978
Uh, couple of months
after Richard lost his job.
56
00:03:08,021 --> 00:03:10,651
He blamed your husband.
57
00:03:10,690 --> 00:03:12,400
He was having
trouble finding work.
58
00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:14,032
And the family was
really struggling.
59
00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:16,028
Are you still in touch with him?
60
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:18,160
Not after the threats started.
61
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,118
But, yeah, you hear things.
62
00:03:20,158 --> 00:03:23,328
A friend told me that Kim
replaced her Rose bushes
63
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:24,369
with a vegetable garden.
64
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:26,872
She had to grow her own food?
65
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:29,995
And Joe had to drop out of
junior college this semester
66
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,213
take a job, help
support the family.
67
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:34,383
Joe is the oldest son?
68
00:03:34,422 --> 00:03:37,012
Yeah, Artie is
still in high school.
69
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,760
[Baby crying]
70
00:03:39,802 --> 00:03:42,102
That's my son.
71
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:45,929
How old?
72
00:03:45,975 --> 00:03:48,225
He will be a year next month.
73
00:03:48,269 --> 00:03:49,099
Oh.
74
00:03:49,145 --> 00:03:51,435
I have a daughter, 16 months.
75
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:54,941
- What's her name?
- Haley.
76
00:03:54,984 --> 00:03:56,404
That's Nick.
77
00:03:56,444 --> 00:03:59,164
He is loud like his dad.
78
00:03:59,197 --> 00:04:01,697
[Dramatic music]
79
00:04:01,741 --> 00:04:05,081
What am I gonna do without him?

[Baby crying]
81
00:04:07,747 --> 00:04:11,497
- Excuse me.
- Sure.

[Baby crying]
83
00:04:19,968 --> 00:04:21,678
No murder weapon, no witnesses.
84
00:04:21,719 --> 00:04:22,759
Sheer speculation.
85
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:25,354
Based on a gun my
client no longer possesses.
86
00:04:25,390 --> 00:04:27,060
Right. It was stolen.
87
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:29,100
- Last spring.
- No police report.
88
00:04:29,143 --> 00:04:31,023
I figured it was gone for good.
89
00:04:31,062 --> 00:04:32,612
What about insurance claim?
90
00:04:32,647 --> 00:04:35,897
I let my home owner's lapse.
I couldn't afford the premiums.
91
00:04:35,942 --> 00:04:39,362
He has an alibi for the
time of the shooting.
92
00:04:39,404 --> 00:04:41,034
"Home with your wife."
93
00:04:41,072 --> 00:04:43,072
Speaking of wives,
Mrs. Johns gave us
94
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:46,036
the threatening e-mails
you sent to Mr. Johns.
95
00:04:46,077 --> 00:04:48,037
That was right
after I was canned.
96
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:49,289
I was still pissed off.
97
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:51,830
Look, bill and I buried
the hatchet weeks ago...
98
00:04:51,874 --> 00:04:54,964
Please, not another word.

'You'll need more than that'
103
00:05:05,555 --> 00:05:07,555
to convince a jury
Mr. Nelson's a murderer.
104
00:05:07,598 --> 00:05:09,228
We know the weapon
belonged to him.
105
00:05:09,267 --> 00:05:12,477
No, the same "type" of
gun is not the "same gun".
106
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,860
If there's only one in
Indianapolis, I think we can.
107
00:05:15,898 --> 00:05:18,068
You can't prove it
if you don't find it.
108
00:05:18,109 --> 00:05:20,899
And if you don't find it,
what else do you have?
109
00:05:20,945 --> 00:05:23,775
A history of antagonism
between the two men. A motive.
110
00:05:23,823 --> 00:05:26,493
I don't think we'll have any
trouble convincing the jury.
111
00:05:26,534 --> 00:05:28,244
If you're so sure, charge him.
112
00:05:28,286 --> 00:05:31,406
We got 72 hours,
we're in no rush.
113
00:05:31,456 --> 00:05:34,666
A little cooperation could help
him avoid the death penalty.
114
00:05:34,709 --> 00:05:36,919
I didn't do it.
115
00:05:36,961 --> 00:05:39,091
Okay.
116
00:05:39,756 --> 00:05:41,546
You think about it, Mr. Nelson.
117
00:05:41,591 --> 00:05:44,971
At least, you'll get to see your
wife and kids on visiting day.
118
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:48,641
Which is a hell of a lot more
than bill Johns gets to do.
119
00:05:48,681 --> 00:05:51,061
Don't play that lethal
injection card with us.
120
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:54,480
Who's playing? Cold
blooded sniper shooting?
121
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,480
In this state, that's a
slam dunk for death row.
122
00:06:07,575 --> 00:06:10,495
[Dramatic music]
123
00:06:10,536 --> 00:06:15,036
The Nelson's financial
situation since he lost his job.
124
00:06:15,083 --> 00:06:16,423
Bleak and getting bleaker.
125
00:06:16,459 --> 00:06:18,539
Behind on property
taxes and a month away
126
00:06:18,586 --> 00:06:20,046
from defaulting
on their mortgage.
127
00:06:20,088 --> 00:06:22,878
According to the cops he
only found work a month ago.
128
00:06:22,924 --> 00:06:25,304
Making a fraction of
what he made at erath.
129
00:06:25,343 --> 00:06:26,843
- Doing what?
- Selling franchises
130
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:28,006
for a fast food chain.
131
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:30,644
Selling franchises,
that sounds lucrative.
132
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:33,481
- Ah, if you're good at it.
- Nelson wasn't good at it?
133
00:06:33,518 --> 00:06:35,868
Apparently not. These jobs are
minimum wage plus commission.
134
00:06:35,895 --> 00:06:39,145
If he made any commission,
he hadn't deposited the checks.
135
00:06:39,190 --> 00:06:40,570
Bank account is bone dry.
136
00:06:40,608 --> 00:06:42,858
Minimum wage at his
age must have been tough.
137
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:44,862
Have you talked to
his new employers yet?
138
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:48,874
Next on my list. I was on
my way to talk to his old boss.
139
00:06:48,908 --> 00:06:52,078
- 'I'll let you know.'
- Okay.
140
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,170
[Melancholic music]

00:06:57,834 --> 00:07:00,714
- You okay?
- Yeah.

'Gettin' axed after twenty
years can't be easy.'

especially when you losin'
out to a guy you trained.
144
00:07:06,342 --> 00:07:08,722
Yeah, maybe he
trained him too good.
145
00:07:08,761 --> 00:07:09,911
Five quarters
straight bill Johns
146
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:13,519
outsold Richard Nelson
by 40 plus percent.
147
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:16,228
You ever hear Nelson accused
Johns of fixing those numbers?
148
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:19,979
Sour grapes. Bill John was the
best damn salesman I ever saw.
149
00:07:20,022 --> 00:07:22,572
Brought in a lot more
money than Nelson ever did.
150
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:25,698
Came time we had to
downsize, it was a no-brainer.
151
00:07:25,736 --> 00:07:28,736
You know anything
about Nelson's new job?
152
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:29,701

Franchise? That's
what he's telling people?

00:07:34,203 --> 00:07:37,623
Couple of my guys saw him
working behind the counter.

00:07:37,665 --> 00:07:39,575
Chunky burger out on Raymond.
157
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:42,085
- When was this?
- Couple of weeks ago.
158
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:44,958
- That's clear across town.
- Makes sense, doesn't it?

his friends and neighbors.

qualified and eager to work.

You know what turn-over's
like in the fast food industry?
175
00:08:27,298 --> 00:08:30,298
I figured Nelson was
stuck, so he'd stick.
176
00:08:30,343 --> 00:08:32,223
You know what I mean?
177
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:36,311
So, he drives 25 miles to the
job that pays him minimum wage.
178
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,059
How does that add up?
Gas prices, the way they are.
179
00:08:39,101 --> 00:08:41,981
- Made up in over time.
- You had him working account?
180
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:44,481
Why put him on the
grill when he can work
181
00:08:44,524 --> 00:08:46,654
the point of purchase
with almost no training.
182
00:08:46,692 --> 00:08:48,402
- Guess it was bad idea though.
- Why?
183
00:08:48,444 --> 00:08:50,704
He freaked out the
last day he worked here.
184
00:08:50,738 --> 00:08:53,158
Just up and left in
the middle of the shift.
185
00:08:53,199 --> 00:08:54,989
- You know what happened?
- Didn't see it.
186
00:08:55,034 --> 00:08:58,044
Apparently he took offense of
something some customer said.
187
00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,289
Too bad. He was good.
188
00:08:59,330 --> 00:09:01,710
Could've made manager in a year.
189
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:03,499
When was this exactly?
190
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:05,593
Same day that guy got shot.
191
00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,008
How long do you keep your tapes?
192
00:09:08,047 --> 00:09:09,917
Two weeks.
193
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,350
[Dramatic music]
194
00:09:14,387 --> 00:09:15,677
I feel for the guy.
195
00:09:15,721 --> 00:09:18,681
Hmm, it's a long, long
way from a suit and tie
196
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:21,524
to a chunky burger
hat and apron.
197
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:27,898
[Dramatic music]
198
00:09:27,942 --> 00:09:29,282
They're laughing at him.
199
00:09:29,318 --> 00:09:31,488
(Conlon) 'That one
doesn't think it's funny.'
200
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:34,239
no. He looks embarrassed.
201
00:09:34,282 --> 00:09:36,582
And surprised.
202
00:09:36,617 --> 00:09:39,287
(Conlon) 'Is that one
of Nelson's sons?'
203
00:09:39,328 --> 00:09:41,958
the youngest one?
204
00:09:45,876 --> 00:09:47,336
(Maureen) 'Artie.'
205
00:09:47,378 --> 00:09:48,838
this happened that day.
206
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:51,509
Just hours before
Nelson killed bill Johns.
207
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:54,303
Richard Nelson looks
for work for months.
208
00:09:54,343 --> 00:09:58,143
He finally lands a
crummy minimum wage job.
209
00:09:58,180 --> 00:10:00,390
His kid sees him
workin' the counter
210
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:03,353
he's humiliated, he
goes and gets his gun.
211
00:10:03,394 --> 00:10:06,944
And kills the man he
blames for ruining his life.
212
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:09,731
The time code on the
tape might help make sense
213
00:10:09,775 --> 00:10:12,485
of Nelson's cellphone records.
214
00:10:13,863 --> 00:10:16,533
He called his wife right
after he left chunky burger.
215
00:10:16,574 --> 00:10:19,204
'Then a flurry of
calls to his sons.'
216
00:10:19,243 --> 00:10:21,043
first, Joe, then Artie.
217
00:10:21,078 --> 00:10:24,538
Then all kinds of calls between
the four of them all afternoon
218
00:10:24,582 --> 00:10:26,382
both before and
after the shooting.
219
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:31,297
I doubt they we're discussing
his plans to kill bill Johns.
220
00:10:31,339 --> 00:10:34,009
They might have been
discussing his alibi.
221
00:10:36,761 --> 00:10:37,971
Mrs. Nelson.
222
00:10:38,929 --> 00:10:40,809
Maureen Scofield from
the prosecutor's office.
223
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:42,728
- Yes?
- Might I have a word with you?
224
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:44,977
- Do I have a choice?
- Your husband called you
225
00:10:45,019 --> 00:10:47,939
the day of the murder
right after he quit his job.
226
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:49,610
I don't remember.
Um, nothing important.
227
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:53,109
Right after he called you, you
and he each called your sons.
228
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,652
- Artie and Joe.
- That's right.
229
00:10:54,695 --> 00:10:57,815
I needed them to come
home to help me find our dog.
230
00:10:57,865 --> 00:11:00,575
- Your dog?
- Yeah. She was wandering.
231
00:11:00,618 --> 00:11:02,448
It was getting
dark. I was frantic.
232
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:03,905
That was the day
Artie discovered
233
00:11:03,954 --> 00:11:07,044
his father's new job he
was trying to keep a secret.
234
00:11:07,083 --> 00:11:08,923
He didn't want the boys to know.
235
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:11,339
- Did you know?
- Hm.
236
00:11:11,379 --> 00:11:13,879
It was the best
thing he could find.
237
00:11:13,923 --> 00:11:15,763
At his age, it's not
easy, you know.
238
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,890
We have the encounter
between your husband and son
239
00:11:17,927 --> 00:11:21,217
on videotape. It must have
been humiliating for both of them.
240
00:11:21,263 --> 00:11:23,893
It was a bit of a
shock for Artie.
241
00:11:23,933 --> 00:11:25,103
But Richard's a grown man.
242
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:27,902
He can handle a couple of
teenage boys laughing at him.
243
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:30,647
His way of handling it
was to get his sniper rifle
244
00:11:30,690 --> 00:11:33,860
and shoot the man he blamed
for putting him behind that counter?
245
00:11:33,901 --> 00:11:36,611
Richard was home with
me when bill Johns got shot.
246
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:40,784
- Is that your story?
- That's the truth.
247
00:11:40,825 --> 00:11:44,195
Lying to me isn't gonna
help your husband.
248
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:45,405
Would you excuse me?
249
00:11:45,454 --> 00:11:48,794
I really need to get these
groceries in the fridge.
250
00:11:51,460 --> 00:11:53,170
Arthur Nelson.

00:11:53,212 --> 00:11:54,672
Ed Williams,
prosecutor's office.
252
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,844
I'm busy.
253
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:57,881
It's about your father's
job at chunky burger
254
00:11:57,925 --> 00:12:00,925
and what happened
there the other day.
255
00:12:02,179 --> 00:12:04,559
- Look, I gotta go.
- We have the security tape.
256
00:12:04,598 --> 00:12:07,388
We know your friends mocked
your dad at the restaurant.
257
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,265
Just 'cause the chunky
burger uniform's queer.
258
00:12:09,311 --> 00:12:11,771
- What'd your dad say to you?
- I don't remember.
259
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:14,194
You discover your father's
baggin' burgers for a living
260
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:16,903
and you don't remember
what you said to each other?
261
00:12:16,944 --> 00:12:19,824
I said something like,
"what're you doing here?"
262
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:22,324
He said, "what does it
look like? I'm working."
263
00:12:22,366 --> 00:12:25,366
- Told me to go home.
- What happened after that?
264
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:28,371
I went home to look
for our dog, Lola.
265
00:12:28,414 --> 00:12:29,924
Were you with him then?
266
00:12:29,957 --> 00:12:32,327
Yeah, met him home
and started searching.
267
00:12:32,376 --> 00:12:34,456
You were with
him the whole time?
268
00:12:34,503 --> 00:12:35,843
Till we found her.
269
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720
- Then why all the phone calls?
- Calls?
270
00:12:38,758 --> 00:12:40,718
He tried calling
you all afternoon.
271
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,220
So did you mother
and your brother, Joe.
272
00:12:43,262 --> 00:12:45,972
Is it a crime to
make phone calls?
273
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:47,885
No, just doesn't make much sense
274
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:50,853
if you're with the person
you're supposedly calling.
275
00:12:50,895 --> 00:12:52,515
Your father wasn't
with you, was he?
276
00:12:52,563 --> 00:12:55,483
I guess we were looking for
Lola in different places sometimes.
277
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:57,824
You just said you were
together the whole time.
278
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:00,950
- Was he with you or not?
- With me.
279
00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:03,278
And when he
wasn't, he called me.
280
00:13:03,324 --> 00:13:08,454
- About looking for the dog.
- Looking for the dog. Right.
281
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:13,580
So you packed up your
tools and bolted out of here
282
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:17,456
in the middle of your shift
'cause your mom called?
283
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:18,585
Dad called.
284
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:22,051
Said I had to get home right
away and help find the dog.
285
00:13:22,092 --> 00:13:24,932
- There's no mystery.
- No, there isn't.
286
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:27,720
In fact, it's transparent,
plain as day.
287
00:13:27,765 --> 00:13:28,925
How's that?
288
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:32,694
You all cooked up this lost dog
story to give your dad an alibi.
289
00:13:32,728 --> 00:13:35,398
- It's what happened.
- My dad was unemployed once.
290
00:13:35,439 --> 00:13:37,439
Two years. Never
wanted my mom to work.
291
00:13:37,483 --> 00:13:40,073
And she had to take
a job baggin' groceries.
292
00:13:40,110 --> 00:13:42,530
It nearly killed him.
293
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:44,411
Dad wasn't angry about the job.
294
00:13:44,448 --> 00:13:47,698
Come on, I talked to
the guy he worked for.
295
00:13:47,743 --> 00:13:50,623
- He was half his age.
- Well, maybe he liked the job.
296
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:53,503
If he liked it, then why'd
he keep it a secret?
297
00:13:53,541 --> 00:13:56,041
My dad didn't kill bill Johns.
298
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:59,085
Think about this dog story,
Joe. 'Cause the next time we talk
299
00:13:59,129 --> 00:14:02,219
about what happened that
day it's gonna be under oath.
300
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:04,718
[Phone ringing]
301
00:14:06,178 --> 00:14:08,428
Blackwell.
302
00:14:10,099 --> 00:14:12,479
I'll be right down.
303
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,939
Police found your dad's gun.
304
00:14:17,648 --> 00:14:18,608
Oh, yeah?
305
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:20,189
Rock quarry, half
a mile from erath.
306
00:14:20,234 --> 00:14:23,404
Witness saw a guy toss it
there the night of the murder.
307
00:14:23,445 --> 00:14:25,695
Must have been an
hour after the shooting.
308
00:14:25,739 --> 00:14:26,989
It wasn't my dad.
309
00:14:27,032 --> 00:14:29,792
Well, police is gonna
put him in the line-up.
310
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:32,577
If the witness picks him out..
311
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:46,593
Take your time. No rush.
312
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:49,465
Number three
looks familiar but..
313
00:14:49,513 --> 00:14:50,563
Satisfied?
314
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:53,598
Well, he looks, sort
of like the man I saw.
315
00:14:53,642 --> 00:14:54,892
But not quite.
316
00:14:54,935 --> 00:14:58,395
Unable to make a positive
ID, think we're done here.
317
00:14:58,439 --> 00:15:00,569
- I'm sorry.
- H-Hold on.
318
00:15:00,608 --> 00:15:03,028
Number three looks familiar.
319
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:04,068
'Yeah, but..'
320
00:15:04,111 --> 00:15:06,031
come on, how many
bites of the apple
321
00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:09,741
- are you gonna give her?
- Hush. Familiar how?
322
00:15:09,783 --> 00:15:14,163
He looks familiar but the
man I saw was much younger.
323
00:15:14,204 --> 00:15:17,884
- 'Younger than all these guys.'
- Okay, we're done here.
324
00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:18,707
Thank you.
325
00:15:18,751 --> 00:15:20,711
I'd like to show
you some pictures.
326
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:23,553
- A couple of six packs.
- What're you fishing for?
327
00:15:23,589 --> 00:15:24,969
(Conlan) 'A positive ID.'
328
00:15:25,007 --> 00:15:27,217
witness saw a Joe
Nelson tossing the gun.
329
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:29,969
Maybe we've been looking
at the wrong Nelson all along.
330
00:15:30,012 --> 00:15:31,892
The question is
did he kill bill Johns
331
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:35,271
or was he just helping his
father get rid of the evidence?
332
00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:39,189
- Ballistics in crime lab.
- Thanks, Denise.
333
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:43,976
Bullet from the victim and
sniper rifle are a match.
334
00:15:44,026 --> 00:15:46,696
Nelson's gun is
the murder weapon.
335
00:15:46,737 --> 00:15:49,907
- Closes that loophole.
- 'Might just open another one.'
336
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:53,199
lab lifted three sets
of prints off the gun.
337
00:15:53,243 --> 00:15:55,333
Richard, Joe and Artie Nelson.
338
00:15:55,371 --> 00:15:57,001
'Well they all
had access to it.'
339
00:15:57,039 --> 00:15:59,249
I'm surprised their
mother's prints aren't on it.
340
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:02,541
Maybe we should be
looking at all three nelsons.
341
00:16:02,586 --> 00:16:03,836
You think they did it together?
342
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,009
We'd have to place the
three of them at the scene.
343
00:16:07,049 --> 00:16:08,839
Well, they all had
cell phones, right?
344
00:16:08,884 --> 00:16:11,894
All those calls after Artie
saw his dad at the burger joint.
345
00:16:11,929 --> 00:16:14,969
We could triangulate the
calls to the nearest cell tower.
346
00:16:15,015 --> 00:16:17,135
Get a location. We'll know
exactly where they were.
347
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:24,154
Richard Nelson left work here
and made his first call to Joe.
348
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:26,611
Where was Richard goin'?
349
00:16:26,652 --> 00:16:29,412
'General direction
of the erath factory.'
350
00:16:29,446 --> 00:16:31,236
on his way to shoot bill Johns.
351
00:16:31,281 --> 00:16:34,791
What about the two boys,
Artie and Joe? Where'd they go?
352
00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:38,747
'Joe Nelson left the auto shop
and went the same direction.'
353
00:16:38,789 --> 00:16:40,669
- 'towards the factory.'
- Artie?
354
00:16:40,708 --> 00:16:43,998
Calls placed to Artie
went straight to voice mail.
355
00:16:44,044 --> 00:16:47,264
Okay can you tell Artie
was when he got those calls?
356
00:16:47,297 --> 00:16:48,627
Now, that's interesting.
357
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:50,724
'All over town
looks like initially'

hit for Artie Nelson'

00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,604
'when your victim was shot'
360
00:16:57,641 --> 00:16:59,481
same as the one
for Richard and Joe.
361
00:16:59,518 --> 00:17:03,268
(Conlon) 'So they were all in
the same place at the same time.'
362
00:17:03,313 --> 00:17:06,073
- generally speaking.
- I hate that word, "generally."
363
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,278
All three Nelson men
were at the crime scene
364
00:17:08,318 --> 00:17:10,948
when bill Johns was shot
with Richard Nelson's gun
365
00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:12,278
and Richard Nelson's ammunition.
366
00:17:12,322 --> 00:17:15,662
- At or near?
- In the general vicinity.
367
00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,951
If we had a witness who
could place them at the scene.
368
00:17:18,996 --> 00:17:21,246
If this were a drive-by
and we didn't know
369
00:17:21,290 --> 00:17:23,080
who pulled the
trigger, we'd still charge
370
00:17:23,125 --> 00:17:24,585
everyone in the car with murder.
371
00:17:24,626 --> 00:17:26,666
I understand your "drive-by"
analogy but your car
372
00:17:26,712 --> 00:17:28,882
is like a 1000 feet
wide in every direction.
373
00:17:28,922 --> 00:17:31,632
All three of the nelsons
were there. It was their gun
374
00:17:31,675 --> 00:17:34,715
their ammo, the victim was
someone they had motive to kill.
375
00:17:34,762 --> 00:17:36,642
It doesn't matter
which one did it.
376
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,390
They all aided and
abetted the crime
377
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:39,912
they're all equally
responsible for it.
378
00:17:39,933 --> 00:17:42,353
If they were together
but that is a supposition.
379
00:17:42,394 --> 00:17:44,104
It's a very plausible
assumption.
380
00:17:44,146 --> 00:17:46,976
Supported by a plausible
interpretation of the evidence.
381
00:17:47,024 --> 00:17:48,074
Thank you.
382
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:49,568
Arrest Artie and Joe Nelson too.
383
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:54,030
We charge the three of them
with the murder of bill Johns.

[Dramatic music]

with the murder
of William Johns.
387

- How do they plead?
- Not guilty, your honor.

- You speak for all of them?
- I do, your honor.
389

The defendants have
waived any potential conflict
390
00:18:19,139 --> 00:18:20,929
and I'll be
representing all of them.
391
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:23,144
Very well. Miss chase,
on the matter of bail?
392
00:18:23,185 --> 00:18:26,225
The people request that bail be
denied for all three defendants.

'Your honor, none of
them has a criminal record'

threat to the community

nor as the people well
know the means or resources
396
00:18:33,570 --> 00:18:36,320
to leave the jurisdiction and
therefore pose no flight risk.

I think they're smart
enough to figure out
400
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:45,182
- how to flee the jurisdiction.
- Agreed.
401
00:18:45,207 --> 00:18:47,787
As my father said, "all
you need to jump bail
402
00:18:47,835 --> 00:18:50,085
"are two good feet and
one good head start."

will be remanded.

Audacious and over-reaching
are the most polite words
406
00:19:02,891 --> 00:19:05,811
I could use to describe this
unbelievably coercive tactic.
407
00:19:05,853 --> 00:19:08,983
There's nothing unbelievable
or coercive about it.
408
00:19:09,022 --> 00:19:10,942
All three Nelson
men are equally guilty.
409
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,533
And I'm gonna give all three
410
00:19:12,568 --> 00:19:14,188
the opportunity
to tell the truth.
411
00:19:14,236 --> 00:19:15,446
We're not interested.
412
00:19:15,487 --> 00:19:17,487
Well maybe Mr. Nelson
isn't interested.
413
00:19:17,531 --> 00:19:18,951
Neither are Joe or Artie.
414
00:19:18,991 --> 00:19:20,581
I'd like to talk to them anyway.
415
00:19:20,617 --> 00:19:23,077
Don't waste your breath,
they won't talk to you.
416
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:25,080
They're not
interested in a plea?
417
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:27,212
They all steadfastly
maintain their innocence.
418
00:19:27,249 --> 00:19:30,169
And their ignorance of every
aspect of this tragic affair.
419

They're not involved.
420

And you're barking up a
whole forest of wrong trees.
421
00:19:35,299 --> 00:19:39,299
At the precise moment
that bill Johns was shot
422
00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:42,184
Richard, Artie and
Joe were at the scene
423
00:19:42,222 --> 00:19:43,322
with Richard Nelson's weapon.

'Didn't live that far
from the factory.'
429

you may not like the
explanation but it's reasonable.
430
00:19:55,444 --> 00:19:59,824
It's patently false. A
blatant, bald-faced lie.
431
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,275
Call it what you
want. They didn't do it.
432

An eye witness identified him.

00:20:03,660 --> 00:20:05,950
She saw him ditching
the gun in a quarry

a half hour after
the murder occurred.
435

Allegedly. If she
has her ID right.

Those glasses
were kind of thick.

I have yet to hear
anyone say that they saw
438
00:20:14,463 --> 00:20:15,923
my clients shoot
and kill anyone.
439
00:20:15,964 --> 00:20:18,804
Not just any gun.
The murder weapon.
440
00:20:18,842 --> 00:20:20,092
And his prints were on it.
441
00:20:20,135 --> 00:20:23,005
Well, Joe was hunting
with his father, every year.

Don't you go hunting?

00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,483
Did you in fact
throw that gun away?

You're not to
answer that question.

any of her questions.

We have video tape
from the restaurant.

Over-zealous prosecutors
have been known to.

00:20:36,652 --> 00:20:40,072
Publically humiliated
in front of his friends.
450
00:20:40,113 --> 00:20:41,993
It's no big deal.
451
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,912
- Whatever.
- Don't say anything.
452
00:20:43,951 --> 00:20:46,621
I can easily imagine
how that must have felt.
453
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:49,412
- So will a jury.
- 'Good luck with that.'
454

everyone did it,
everyone's responsible
455
00:20:51,541 --> 00:20:54,251
everyone's going to jail,
everyone should confess.
456
00:20:54,294 --> 00:20:56,514
It's not gonna
happen, miss chase.
457
00:20:56,546 --> 00:20:58,296
Just doesn't work that way.
458
00:21:00,008 --> 00:21:03,798
Hearing on the motion to
dismiss murder charges against
459
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:06,805
Richard, Arthur
and Joseph Nelson.
460
00:21:06,848 --> 00:21:08,138
Mr. Bosco.
461
00:21:08,183 --> 00:21:09,903
Miss chase asserts
that the defendants acted
462
00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,685
as a so called gang to
aid and abet a murder.
463
00:21:12,729 --> 00:21:15,319
This requires her to place
all three of them together
464
00:21:15,357 --> 00:21:17,397
at the crime scene when
the murder occurred.
465
00:21:17,442 --> 00:21:19,652
It's common basis
for a murder charge.
466
00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:22,405
The evidence doesn't support
it. Cell towers in that area
467
00:21:22,447 --> 00:21:25,157
have a range of 1000
feet in any direction.
468
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,250
They could've been up to
2000 feet away from each other
469
00:21:28,287 --> 00:21:31,037
at the time. Out of sight
or hearing one another.
470
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:32,561
Given the other
evidence it's reasonable
471
00:21:32,582 --> 00:21:34,042
to infer they were
there together.
472
00:21:34,084 --> 00:21:36,254
It's equally reasonable
to infer that they weren't.
473
00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:38,755
The murder was committed
with the Nelson family's gun
474
00:21:38,797 --> 00:21:40,877
the Nelson family's
ammunition, they had motive
475
00:21:40,924 --> 00:21:43,344
- means and opportunity.
- Assertions that are irrelevant
476
00:21:43,385 --> 00:21:45,545
whether the Nelson's
were together or apart
477
00:21:45,595 --> 00:21:47,255
when the shooting took place.
478
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,596
Now there's no factual
basis to support the charge
479
00:21:49,641 --> 00:21:52,691
that my clients worked together
to aid and abet the murder.
480
00:21:52,728 --> 00:21:54,978
Miss chase's gang theory
simply does not apply.
481
00:21:55,022 --> 00:21:58,032
These men were not in a
car, this was not a drive-by...
482
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,416
Respectfully, your honor, a
jury should decide this question.
483
00:22:00,444 --> 00:22:04,284
But this is the essence of
your case, miss chase, isn't it?
484
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:05,993
That the defendants
acted together
485
00:22:06,033 --> 00:22:09,833
and so should be treated
equally as principles in the crime.
486
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:10,910
Yes, your honor.
487
00:22:10,954 --> 00:22:14,004
You'll have my
ruling in the morning.
488
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:16,631
You worried about
how the judge will rule?
489
00:22:16,668 --> 00:22:20,128
Oh, flip a coin. It
could go either way.
490
00:22:20,172 --> 00:22:21,672
What else is bothering you?
491
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:24,425
I'm concerned the way
annabeth is handling this case
492
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:27,348
has as much to do with
the fallout from Jack's death.
493
00:22:27,387 --> 00:22:30,057
And what happened to the
drunk driver who killed him.
494
00:22:30,098 --> 00:22:31,848
She identifies with
the victim's wife.
495
00:22:31,892 --> 00:22:33,272
How could she not?
496
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:36,770
I think annabeth wants
to make sure Jackie Johns
497
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:39,363
feels justice was
served and not thwarted.
498
00:22:39,399 --> 00:22:42,109
Is that how annabeth feels?
499
00:22:42,152 --> 00:22:45,032
Trent bishop pled
guilty, as you know.
500
00:22:45,072 --> 00:22:46,492
Vehicular homicide.
Plea agreement.
501
00:22:46,531 --> 00:22:47,681
I've recommended seven years.
502
00:22:47,699 --> 00:22:50,869
Last week the
judge gave him four.
503
00:22:50,911 --> 00:22:52,041
Why so lenient?
504
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:54,619
First offense, family
man, upstanding citizen
505
00:22:54,664 --> 00:22:55,874
just had a bad day.
506
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:59,376
He has no record of
driving under the influence.
507
00:22:59,419 --> 00:23:01,669
She must be sick about it.
508
00:23:01,713 --> 00:23:04,883
She hasn't said anything
about it. Not to me anyway.
509
00:23:04,925 --> 00:23:06,005
If that happened to me
510
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:08,011
I'd be so angry I
couldn't see straight.
511
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:09,813
See that's what
I'm worried about.

Maureen, I endorsed the
tack annabeth has taken
513

with the Nelson case.
514
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:18,396
Well, we'll see
if the judge does.
515
00:23:18,438 --> 00:23:21,268
The people's case
is based on the theory
516
00:23:21,316 --> 00:23:24,066
that the three
defendants acted together
517
00:23:24,111 --> 00:23:26,861
to aid and abet a murder.
518
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:29,405
I find that the evidence
presented is insufficient
519
00:23:29,449 --> 00:23:30,779
to support this claim.
520
00:23:30,826 --> 00:23:35,456
Accordingly, defendant's
motion to dismiss is granted.
521
00:23:35,497 --> 00:23:38,917
- Your honor, without prejudice.
- Of course, miss chase.
522
00:23:38,959 --> 00:23:41,799
My advice to you is that
you either pick the shooter
523
00:23:41,837 --> 00:23:44,377
and make the best
case you can against him
524
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:46,973
or drop the case altogether.

What happened? Why
did he dismiss the charges?

It's complicated. It doesn't
mean our case is over.
529
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:57,621
Richard Nelson
threatened bill for months
530
00:23:57,644 --> 00:23:59,774

sons murdered him.

What is so
complicated about that?

New murder charges
against the nelsons?
534
00:24:12,617 --> 00:24:14,077
Horton only
dismissed the charges
535
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,249
because of the gang theory.
536
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,077
Yeah, but you've also
gotta pick the shooter.
537
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:20,332
Do you have new evidence
that points to one of the nelsons?
538
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:22,415
- No there isn't.
- Then what's the new theory?
539
00:24:22,461 --> 00:24:25,051
Try each of them
individually for the murder.
540
00:24:25,088 --> 00:24:27,798
Each of them had the
motive, means and opportunity
541
00:24:27,841 --> 00:24:28,971
to shoot bill Johns.
542
00:24:29,009 --> 00:24:30,969
You want three separate
trials against them.
543
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:32,691
They acted together
and murdered bill Johns
544
00:24:32,721 --> 00:24:35,641
but if I can't try them
together I'll try them apart.

This is your creative
way around his ruling?
546
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:40,194
It's unconventional but it
doesn't change the facts
547
00:24:40,228 --> 00:24:42,268
or what I would
argue to the juries.
548
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:44,024
- It's borderline.
- 'It's over the line.'
549
00:24:44,065 --> 00:24:47,355
a prosecutor down in Florida
got called before the state bar
550
00:24:47,402 --> 00:24:48,782
for trying something like this.
551
00:24:48,820 --> 00:24:51,200
I know, but that prosecutor
gave the different juries
552
00:24:51,239 --> 00:24:53,529
different theories of
the same crime, I won't.
553
00:24:53,575 --> 00:24:57,575
But for that, don't you have to
say each one was the shooter?
554
00:24:57,621 --> 00:24:58,831
- That's impossible.
- No, no.
555
00:24:58,872 --> 00:25:01,332
Would I like to know
who shot the gun? Yes.
556
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:04,214
But do I need to know that
to make convictions? No.
557
00:25:04,252 --> 00:25:06,132
We argue the same
facts for each defendant.
558
00:25:06,171 --> 00:25:09,011
Access to gun and ammo,
motive and presence at the scene.
559
00:25:09,049 --> 00:25:11,129
The cellphone data isn't
definitive on that point.
560
00:25:11,176 --> 00:25:13,106
No, but taken with
everything else, it's persuasive.
561
00:25:13,136 --> 00:25:16,386
This case's similar to any other
case with multiple defendants.
562
00:25:16,431 --> 00:25:19,231
Defense attorneys want
separate trials in those cases
563

it doesn't work to our
advantage, it works to theirs.
564

It's unorthodox
but it's not wrong

any of the others.

committed by a group.

00:30:26,574 --> 00:30:29,044
Is he gonna attack
me? Call me a liar?
682
00:30:29,077 --> 00:30:30,867
You're the victim's widow.
683
00:30:30,912 --> 00:30:33,002
Abusing you
wouldn't help his case.
684
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:34,079
Okay.
685
00:30:34,123 --> 00:30:37,213
Jackie, your testimony
is our best direct evidence
686
00:30:37,252 --> 00:30:40,762
of the Nelson's
motives for killing bill.
687
00:30:40,797 --> 00:30:43,417
Right let's get started then.
688
00:30:43,466 --> 00:30:44,796
Okay.
689
00:30:44,843 --> 00:30:46,403
Richard said bill
faked the sales figures
690
00:30:46,427 --> 00:30:50,097
just before their boss decided
who to let go and who to keep.
691
00:30:50,139 --> 00:30:52,349
How did bill feel
about that accusation?
692
00:30:52,392 --> 00:30:57,862
It wasn't true, he felt
horrible, sick and then scared.
693
00:30:57,897 --> 00:31:00,437
- Scared of what?
- Of Richard.
694
00:31:00,483 --> 00:31:01,903
Richard Nelson, the defendant?
695
00:31:01,943 --> 00:31:05,493
- Richard threatened him.
- He threatened your husband?
696
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:07,910
- How?
- He wrote bill e-mails.
697
00:31:07,949 --> 00:31:10,449
He blamed him for getting fired.
698
00:31:10,493 --> 00:31:12,333
(Jackie) 'He said
he'd get him back.'
699
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:14,580
what did bill think
Richard would do?
700
00:31:14,622 --> 00:31:18,212
Bill told me that he thought
Richard wanted to kill him.
701
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:20,001
He took the threat seriously?
702
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:23,134
- Yes.
- And did you?
703
00:31:23,172 --> 00:31:25,172
Yes.
704
00:31:25,216 --> 00:31:27,086
- And look at what happened?
- Objection.
705
00:31:27,135 --> 00:31:28,215
(Judge) 'Sustained'.
706
00:31:28,261 --> 00:31:31,311
No further
questions, your honor.
707
00:31:32,515 --> 00:31:37,055
Good afternoon, Mrs.
Johns. I'm sorry for your loss.
708
00:31:37,103 --> 00:31:40,273
And that you have to be
here today to discuss it.
709
00:31:40,315 --> 00:31:43,565
I'd like to hear more
about these e-mails.
710
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,570
Had you actually seen these
e-mails before bill was killed?
711
00:31:46,613 --> 00:31:47,953
After he was killed.
712
00:31:47,989 --> 00:31:51,119
I looked for them on his
computer and I printed them out.
713
00:31:51,159 --> 00:31:53,039
- Then what?
- I gave 'em to the police.
714
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:55,997
Did you find any other e-mails
from Richard on bill's computer?
715
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:59,919
Yes. There were a lot of
them. About business mostly.
716
00:31:59,959 --> 00:32:01,089
What happened to those?
717
00:32:01,127 --> 00:32:03,127
All the e-mails
Richard ever sent to bill
718
00:32:03,171 --> 00:32:06,091
were on the computer
that I gave to the police.
719
00:32:06,132 --> 00:32:09,592
Did you delete any e-mails
720
00:32:09,636 --> 00:32:12,716
before you turned
it over to the police?
721
00:32:15,266 --> 00:32:18,726
No. I don't think so.
722
00:32:19,228 --> 00:32:20,608
Don't you know?
723
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:22,607
Not intentionally,
if I inadvertently..
724
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:25,109
Did you or did you
not delete any e-mails
725
00:32:25,151 --> 00:32:26,691
from your husband's computer?
726
00:32:26,736 --> 00:32:32,076
No. I don't think I
deleted anything.
727
00:32:32,116 --> 00:32:34,736
'Let me refresh your memory.'
728
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:39,455
recognize it? You
deleted this one didn't you?
729
00:32:39,499 --> 00:32:41,999
Objection, your honor, we're
unaware of this evidence.
730
00:32:42,043 --> 00:32:43,293
We obtained it this morning
731
00:32:43,336 --> 00:32:44,996
from Mr. Johns'
Internet service provider.
732
00:32:45,046 --> 00:32:46,376
That doesn't excuse the defense
733
00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:48,222
from following proper
rules of discovery.
734
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:49,877
(Bosco) 'Impeachment
evidence, judge.'
735
00:32:49,926 --> 00:32:51,756
an e-mail Richard
Nelson sent bill Johns
736
00:32:51,803 --> 00:32:53,853
months after the so-called
threatening e-mails.
737
00:32:53,888 --> 00:32:56,308
The witness deleted this
and seven other such friendly
738
00:32:56,349 --> 00:32:58,939
dare I say, cordial e-mails
from Mr. Johns' computer.
739
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:02,057
We'd like an opportunity
to review this evidence.
740
00:33:02,105 --> 00:33:04,475
Lemme see it?
741
00:33:08,653 --> 00:33:11,993
I'll allow it. You may
read it, Mrs. Johns.
742
00:33:14,701 --> 00:33:17,371
[Instrumental music]
743
00:33:19,747 --> 00:33:23,877
"Bill, it was a
competition and you won.

00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:40,095
Your husband replied to
this message, didn't he?
748
00:33:40,143 --> 00:33:42,483
Agreed to meet Richard
for a drink, didn't he?
749
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,360
- I don't know.
- Of course you do.
750
00:33:45,398 --> 00:33:48,188
You deleted his
response saying just that.

"Dear Richard, tomorrow
at nine, the daily grind

"look forward to
seeing you. Bill."

Hardly the Hatfield's
and McCoy's, is it?
754
00:33:57,535 --> 00:34:00,495
Richard and bill had
reconciled, hadn't they?
755
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:03,828
I didn't believe
that. I still don't.
756
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:04,955
He killed my husband.
757
00:34:05,001 --> 00:34:07,251
You hid evidence
of this reconciliation
758
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:11,165
from the police
and from this court.
759
00:34:11,215 --> 00:34:14,715
You're a liar, Mrs. Johns.
760

[Intense music]
761
00:34:22,310 --> 00:34:24,560
We could've dealt with
those e-mails if you'd told us.
762
00:34:24,604 --> 00:34:25,944
You jeopardized all three cases.
763
00:34:25,980 --> 00:34:28,520
If I told you, you might've
not charged the nelsons.
764
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:31,816
- Let me decide that.
- I didn't know they'd find 'em.
765
00:34:31,861 --> 00:34:34,201
A trial isn't a game
of hide and seek.
766
00:34:34,238 --> 00:34:35,588
You've basically
perjured yourself.
767
00:34:35,615 --> 00:34:37,905
Did you hear the part
about the whole truth?
768
00:34:37,950 --> 00:34:39,740
- Will they be acquitted?
- Should they be?
769
00:34:39,786 --> 00:34:42,076
The question is what
else haven't you told us?
770
00:34:42,121 --> 00:34:45,921
You know everything,
now. I'm sorry.
771

[Intense music]
772
00:34:48,377 --> 00:34:50,337
Now Jackie can't
testify in their trials.
773
00:34:50,379 --> 00:34:53,129
So, what was Nelson
doing that day?
774
00:34:53,174 --> 00:34:55,514
Remember that first
interview you had with him
775
00:34:55,551 --> 00:34:57,101
'before bosco shut him up?'
776
00:34:57,136 --> 00:35:01,386
yeah, Nelson said
they'd buried the hatchet.
777
00:35:01,432 --> 00:35:03,982
What if he was
trying to save bill?
778
00:35:04,018 --> 00:35:05,728
From one of his sons?
779
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:08,480
- Right. But which one?
- I don't know.
780
00:35:08,523 --> 00:35:11,193
And as long as they
won't to talk to us.
781
00:35:11,234 --> 00:35:13,574
We could go back
to them with a plea.
782
00:35:13,611 --> 00:35:14,991
We've already tried that.
783
00:35:15,029 --> 00:35:19,949
Conlon talked to Richard Nelson
but he never talked to the boys.
784
00:35:19,992 --> 00:35:22,042
They might listen to him.
785
00:35:22,078 --> 00:35:25,618
- What're you offering?
- Fifteen years for the shooter.
786

(James) 'If the others can
convince me they weren't involved'
787
00:35:28,417 --> 00:35:31,587
- suspended sentences.
- It's fair offer, Richard.
788
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:38,723
We reject it.
789
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:42,101
This isn't the way to protect
your family, Mr. Nelson.
790
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:44,480
It's a guaranteed
way to put them in jail.
791
00:35:44,517 --> 00:35:48,017
Mr. Bosco says that Jackie Johns
won't even be allowed to testify
792
00:35:48,062 --> 00:35:49,192
at my son's trials.
793
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:51,190
That doesn't mean
they'll be acquitted.
794
00:35:51,232 --> 00:35:56,072
I think it does. We'll
see about that, I guess.
795
00:35:56,112 --> 00:35:58,782
Jackie Johns isn't the
only lying wife, Mr. Nelson.
796
00:35:58,823 --> 00:36:02,243
Your wife is lying too and
she'll have to take the stand.
797
00:36:02,285 --> 00:36:05,195
It's the only way you'll
get your alibi into evidence.
798
00:36:05,246 --> 00:36:09,166
- So?
- So, if we prove she's lying
799

Why didn't you tell
the police about Lola

when they first questioned you?

I can read you the
notes if you like.
808
00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:36,359
You told them Richard
was at home with you.
809
00:36:36,402 --> 00:36:40,492
- If you say so.
- But we know he wasn't.

00:36:40,531 --> 00:36:44,491
- No.
- Then why did you say he was?
811
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:46,615
I was scared.
812
00:36:46,662 --> 00:36:49,372
You lied because
you were scared?
813
00:36:49,415 --> 00:36:50,705
I guess so, yes.
814
00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:52,920
Scared to tell the
police your husband
815
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,670
was looking for a lost dog?
816
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:56,172
Scared because they were
817
00:36:56,214 --> 00:36:58,724
accusing Richard
of killing bill.
818
00:37:02,553 --> 00:37:05,643
Police investigating a murder
don't usually give information

to the suspect's
wife, Mrs. Nelson.
820
00:37:08,601 --> 00:37:11,351
I'm sure that's what they said.

The police didn't tell
you bill Johns was dead.

You already knew. That's
why you were scared.

that, Mrs. Nelson?

00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:38,113
They realize now, they
won't all be acquitted.
852
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:41,689
I'd say that's a fair analysis.
853
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:44,156
I'll set up the meeting
for this afternoon.
854
00:38:44,196 --> 00:38:47,026
- Good, I'll tell 'em.
- 'One thing first.'
855
00:38:48,784 --> 00:38:51,294
who's the shooter?
856
00:38:51,329 --> 00:38:55,749
I took my dad's gun
and drove down to erath.
857
00:38:56,959 --> 00:39:01,589
I snuck in the back of the
lot and waited till it got dark.
858
00:39:02,673 --> 00:39:05,593
Mr. Johns came
out of the building
859
00:39:05,634 --> 00:39:12,144
walked to his car
and... And I shot him.
860
00:39:13,768 --> 00:39:17,188
My dad and brother
got there right after that.
861
00:39:17,229 --> 00:39:20,729
I wanted to turn myself in right
then but they wouldn't let me.
862
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:24,815
My brother took the gun
and my dad took me home.
863
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:28,162
'They were just
trying to help me.'
864
00:39:28,199 --> 00:39:29,369
please don't punish them.
865
00:39:29,408 --> 00:39:32,618
Under the terms of your
agreement, you plead guilty
866
00:39:32,661 --> 00:39:37,171
to the crime of
voluntary manslaughter.
867
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:38,128
Yes.
868
00:39:38,167 --> 00:39:40,537
Under the terms of this
agreement you will serve
869
00:39:40,586 --> 00:39:45,296
a sentence in state prison
of no less than 15 years.
870
00:39:45,341 --> 00:39:46,841
- Is that correct?
- Yes.
871
00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:49,854
Is there anything further
you'd like to say, young man
872
00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:51,757
before I enter judgment.
873
00:39:57,311 --> 00:40:00,731
I know what I did was wrong.
874
00:40:00,773 --> 00:40:03,533
Mr. Johns didn't deserve to die.
875
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:08,857
And I'm really
sorry to Mrs. Johns.
876
00:40:10,616 --> 00:40:13,236
And her baby.
877
00:40:13,285 --> 00:40:16,455
And to everyone
in my family too.
878
00:40:16,497 --> 00:40:19,327
"The court hereby accepts
the defendant's plea of guilty
879
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:23,495
"and enters judgment as set
forth in the plea agreement."
880
00:40:23,546 --> 00:40:25,456
The defendant is
remanded to the custody
881
00:40:25,506 --> 00:40:27,296
of the department
of corrections.
882
00:40:27,341 --> 00:40:29,141

[Intense music]
885
00:41:02,793 --> 00:41:05,253
Don't you have a
baby to get home to?
886
00:41:05,296 --> 00:41:07,506
Why're you still here?
887
00:41:07,548 --> 00:41:10,888
I just talked to conlon.
888
00:41:10,926 --> 00:41:15,386
Trent bishop has filed
his notice of appeal.
889
00:41:15,431 --> 00:41:19,101
I expected that.
Pretty much automatic.
890
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:21,273
Conlon said he told
the Attorney General
891
00:41:21,312 --> 00:41:24,692
it was personal to our office
since it involved your husband.
892
00:41:24,732 --> 00:41:28,242
And the ag agreed to
let us handle the appeal.
893
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:31,857
- Us?
- Me. I take the lead.
894
00:41:37,536 --> 00:41:43,126
At the sentencing, my
stomach was in knots.
895
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:45,787
I had to force myself to go.
896
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:48,126
I thought I could
get some closure.
897
00:41:48,172 --> 00:41:50,972
That's what everybody said.
898
00:41:51,008 --> 00:41:55,138
Bishop had agreed to plead
to seven which I didn't think
899
00:41:55,179 --> 00:42:00,019
was nearly enough
but... Best we could do.
900
00:42:03,103 --> 00:42:06,523
And bishop walks up..
901
00:42:06,565 --> 00:42:11,945
And says he's sorry. That
just makes me feel worse.
902
00:42:13,489 --> 00:42:17,789
And then I hear the
judge say four years.
903
00:42:18,869 --> 00:42:22,709
Four years, for taking
my husband's life.
904
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,000
I was stunned.
905
00:42:29,046 --> 00:42:30,046
Closure?
906
00:42:30,089 --> 00:42:33,969
It felt like somebody
ripped the scab off
907
00:42:34,009 --> 00:42:37,469
and kicked me in the stomach.
908
00:42:37,513 --> 00:42:44,523
It felt like all my hard work,
all the healing I had done
909
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:46,482
right back to square one.
910
00:42:46,522 --> 00:42:49,192
Why didn't you come to me?
911
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:52,493
I guess I just thought
I could tough it out.
912
00:42:56,031 --> 00:42:58,701
That would mean a
lot to me, Maureen.
913
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:02,002
I'd sleep better at night
knowing you were handling it.
914
00:43:02,037 --> 00:43:03,867
Me too.
915
00:43:03,914 --> 00:43:06,584
I can keep you posted
every step of the way.
916
00:43:06,625 --> 00:43:08,335
I can brief you once a month.
917
00:43:08,377 --> 00:43:10,877
I can let you know
when it's all done.
918
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:14,051
Whatever works for you.
919
00:43:14,091 --> 00:43:18,051
- Every painful detail.
- Okay.
920
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,930
Thank you.
921
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:29,480
I'll see you tomorrow.
