[Indistinct chatter]

(Female #1) He who dwells
in the shelter of the most high

will abide in the
shadow of the almighty.

The lord is my
shelter and my fortress

and my god in whom I trust.

Surely he will save you
from the Fowler's snare

from the deadly pestilence..

Detective pitts.

Most high will abide in
the shadow of the almighty.

The lord is my
shelter and my fortress

and my god, in whom I trust.

Surely, he will save you

from the Fowler's snare,
from the deadly pestilence.

'He shall cover you
with his feathers'

and under his wings
you shall shelter.

His truth shall be your
shield and your buckler.

He who dwells in the
shelter of the most high

will abide in the
shadow of the almighty.

The lord is my shelter..

Why are you doing those by hand?

I was just asking myself that.

Is that normal?

Sending out invitations
to a baby's baptism?

Is that what presbyterians do?

Well, I want close
friends and family there.

How will they know,
if we don't tell them?

I'm saying we don't want this

turning into another wedding.

Our wedding was perfect.

Yeah, 30 of our closest friends.

Simple backyard ceremony.

Turned into 150 of your mom's
closest friends at the church.

Oh, that.

[Cell phone ringing]

If that's work..

Tell them it's your day of rest.

[Chuckles]

This is annabeth.

[Intense music]

Blessed are you when men
shall revile you and persecute you

and shall say all manner
of evil against you falsely.

- Hey.
- What's up?

Sorry to drag you
out on a Sunday.

That's okay, detective.

Double time on weekends makes up

for a multitude of sins.

What do you got?

Cindy delacroix,
married no children.

She's under arrest
for killing her husband.

He was regional manager of
the croft Miller's grocery chain.

How'd he die?

Well, Mr. Delacroix was stabbed

three times in the back
with a butcher knife.

Cindy's bloody palm print
is on the kitchen counter.

'Her fingerprints
are on the weapon.'

has she confessed?

I believe she's about to.

She waived her
right to an attorney.

Not much she can say
to get out of this one.

Let's see.

We're ready.

Mrs. Delacroix?

The deputy prosecuting
attorney is here now.

You ready to make
your statement?

Yes.

Did you stab your husband?

Yes.

Did you intend to kill him?

Yes.

'Why'd you do it?'

god told me to.

Blessed are ye when
men shall revile you

'and persecute you and
shall say all manner..'

I think she just found
something to say.

I've had dozens of clients
who wanted to plead insane

but I don't think I've
ever actually had anybody

who is insane plead insane.

I'm telling you,
this lady is so crazy

she doesn't want to plead crazy.

Then how can you file
a competency motion?

Because she
doesn't know about it.

(Male #1) 'Case
number 75cr-30756.'

people vs Cindy delacroix.

First degree murder. Your honor.

(Male #2) 'I've read the
public defender's motion'

for a pretrial competency exam.

Unless the people
have any objection

to a psychiatric
evaluation, I will so order.

Requesting a
sidebar, your honor.

(Judge p. Teague)
'Yes, counselor?'

your honor, this motion
was filed confidentially.

Mrs. Delacroix believes
psychiatry to be the work

of the devil and objects
to even the slightest

insinuation she might
have mental problems.

Then why is he pursuing
the competency hearing?

Your honor, this is not a ploy.

'Cindy delacroix believes
she was divinely directed'

to commit the acts she's
accused of, and she's not kidding.

Well, the state believes she
picked that butcher knife up

all by herself and
stabbed her husband

in the back with it three times.

Your honor, if I'm
gonna continue to be able

to represent my client,
I respectfully request

the court to insist on
a competency exam

over my strenuous objections.

As long as we don't establish
the precedent that being

deeply religious makes you
mentally incompetent, fine.

Okay. I get it. Step back.

The court hereby orders
the defendant to submit

'to a psychiatric examination'

to determine her
fitness to stand trial.

Objection, your honor!

There's nothing to warrant

such an examination.

My client considers
this examination

to be an invasion of her
privacy and a direct attempt

to circumvent her
communication with god.

(P. Teague) 'Competency
hearing so ordered.'

this is wrong. This is wrong.

(Maureen) Officer
macklin, what's going on?

How are you holding up?

I know there was a
lot of fallout after you

testified against margate.

I'm okay.

I just want you to know that not
every cop hates you, Maureen.

You came down here
just to tell me that?

That and I was
hoping that you could

put this paperwork
on the fast track for me.

It's a justifiable homicide.

Homeowner takes a
gun away from a guy

breaking into his house
and shoots him. Kills him.

Burglar had a record
for previous b and es.

Hmm, and officer Keith macklin
has a promotion coming up

and would like another solved
case on his record, hmm?

You know, I called
you some time ago.

I didn't return the
message. Sorry.

That's okay. You
were probably busy.

- I was wondering if...
- I don't date cops.

Oh, so it's, it's the
clothes and not the man?

Basically.

Listen, I will do this.

Anything to save the
people's time and money.

But you need to
send, uh, Dave Simon

up here to talk to me.

I'll bring him myself.

(Male #2) 'So tell me, who
is the commander in chief?'

George w. Bush.

And your parents' names?

- Gabe and Nora Templeton.
- How's the baby?

Oh, she's so
cute, it's ridiculous.

She's getting
baptized next week.

Can you tell me why god
told you to kill your husband?

I don't trust you.

I don't appreciate your tone.

And I'm not going to
answer that question.

Mrs. Delacroix, I simply asked

why god told you
to kill your husband.

That's between god and me.

I spoke to the lord.

'I sought his guidance.'

it was his hand

that took Barry's
life, not mine.

And I am at peace with that.

So, if god told you right
now to reach across this table

put your hands around my
neck and strangle me to death

you'd do it?

I know what the
lord guided me to do

is against the laws of man,
but I answer to a higher law.

Okay, she not only
knows right from wrong

she just confessed on the
record again. She's competent.

And she also just told
her shrink she hears voices

and believes her
actions are compelled

by an overwhelming
undeniable force.

In Indiana vs kennesaw,
the court called that crazy.

(Cindy) 'You're
not listening to me.'

you think that
everything can be solved

through doctors and therapy.

Well, there's no question

therapy would be a
tremendous benefit.

But there is no doubt whatsoever

the defendant is mentally
competent, aware of her actions

and legally fit to stand trial.

So ordered.

Your honor, even though
my client is deemed competent

to face trial, we reserve
the right to plead insanity

and/or temporary insanity.

I told you I'm not insane.

This competency
finding by no means

prevents you from mounting
any defense you choose.

'If you think you
can prove your client'

was legally insane at
the time of the crime...

My sister is not insane!
Her husband was insane!

Please refrain from
talking in the gallery.

If I am insane, then
Abraham is insane.

God told him to
kill his beloved son.

You promised me you
wouldn't say I was insane.

Mrs. Delacroix, I
won't warn you again!

God tested Abraham,
god tested Jonah

god tested Sarah,
god tested Mary

and god tested me.

[Gavel bangs] 'Next case.'

(Maureen) So tell
me about the break-in.

The worst part was
this was my weekend

with Laurie, my little girl.

Her mother and
me split up last year.

Since the break-in

she won't let Laurie
stay with me anymore.

Did Laurie see anything?

No. Thank god.

She didn't wake up.

Like I said, I woke with
a glass breaking sound

like a window being punched out.

So I got up and I
went downstairs.

And I see this guy
rifling through my things.

First, I froze, but
then he spun around.

And I saw the gun
and just, you know

instinctively grabbed it.

And?

Big struggle. He-he
wasn't letting go of that gun.

And it just... Kind of went off.

And he was dead.

Well, this is all very
consistent with your statement.

You're a very lucky
man, Mr. Simon.

Well, I'm lucky everybody's
been so helpful and great.

This has been a
horrible few days.

But seriously, I-I appreciate

everyone not making
any, making it it any worse.

Thank you both.

Thank you. Thank
you for coming in.

Okay.

- So, you good on this?
- Close.

No one gets a pass
until I see the ballistics

and fingerprint reports.

[Chuckles] I guess I.. Guess
I'll let you get back to work.

Ms. Delacroix, you are claiming

that god ordered you
to kill your husband

is that correct?

God is my Shepherd.

He guides my heart and my hand.

And last Sunday, god
put a knife in that hand

'and told you to
stab your husband?'

yes.

I can't believe her lawyer
let her do this interview.

She fired her lawyer.

You're kidding.
She 86'd Jeffrey?

She refused any further
psych exams and she fired him.

Her sister and her church
are handling things for now.

And her church
thinks a confession

'on the local news
is a good plan?'

they're trying to
sway public sentiment.

Taint the jury pool.

Believe me, I almost wish they
would've found her incompetent.

I gotta tell you, boss, having
to go after this woman's

twisted idea of god, that's
not a good day in court.

(Female reporter) 'Why do you
think god wanted your husband dead?'

the devil had taken his soul.

'So you killed him?'

I cut out his sin. I did
as god commanded.

You think a jury's
going to go for this?

Maybe.

With some people,
all you need to do

is invoke god and
they fall in line.

It only takes one
person to deadlock a jury.

No, well, I don't buy it.

God doesn't tell people to kill.

Danny, do me a favor

and work up a brief on
religious based offenses.

Okay.

Don't let the whole
"god told me to do it"

spin throw you off your game.

Steve, don't worry.

I'm going to handle
this just like every other

murder case I've tried.

She's only tried
two murder cases.

Yeah, but she won 'em both.

So she came up from
behind and stabbed him.

Victim fell forward
onto this chair

knocking it on its side.

She stabbed him two more times

leaving the knife
buried to its hilt.

This was not a happy housewife.

Anywho... the blood trail

goes back into the kitchen
where he grabs his keys.

His car keys?

Maybe he thought
he could drive himself

to the hospital.

Staggers outside,
face-plants in the yard.

'Not many signs of chaos
and discord in the house.'

'she said that he was
demon-possessed.'

but there are no signs of drugs

alcohol or porno magazines.

There's still the computer.

We'll get to that
this afternoon.

Let's hope there's a big
fat Internet history file.

Hey, what about
their financials?

Big box of receipts. They
did keep track of their money.

Good. We need a clear motive
based on their life together.

They say women kill
men for three reasons.

Infidelity, abuse

and every once in
a while, for money.

Given that she
stabbed him three times

let's focus on the
cheating and the beating.

'Done.'

Barry and Cindy were the
first couple that I married here

back when this church
met in a storefront.

They were high
school sweethearts.

They had their whole
lives in front of them.

So you knew them well.

Yeah.

This is a shock for all of us.

Cindy's one of the most active
members of our congregation.

What about Barry?

Unfortunately, he
had stopped attending.

He was going through
some difficult times

personally, and..

He couldn't
reconcile his feelings

with the tenets of our religion.

Were they having
marital problems?

They came to me for
counseling about a year ago.

They were at a crossroads.

Barry wanted to go one way

and Cindy wanted to go another.

It came to a point in therapy

where I think Barry wanted
me to counsel them to divorce.

He brought it up several times,
but Cindy was adamantly opposed.

She did not believe in divorce.

Was Barry unfaithful to her?

Okay, this is..

I'm still Cindy's active pastor

and the leader of
this congregation.

I feel like I've said
too much already.

I just need to understand
why this happened.

Was Barry gay?

Again, I don't.. I'm
not comfortable.

You understand that
the clerical privileges

only apply to catholic
priests in the confessional.

I can subpoena your testimony.

You have your
responsibilities and I have mine.

[Sighs]

[Instrumental music]

(Annabeth) Well, they found a
dress in Barry delacroix's closet.

The dress had a name tag on it.

"Hi, my name's Marie."

- So who's Marie?
- Exactly.

Was he having an affair
with Marie, or was he Marie?

Well, either way,
you got your motive.

It's promising. How's
it going in here?

Cindy's comparing her acts
to acts committed in the Bible.

But in the Bible, if god
wants somebody dead

he takes care of it himself.

Lot's wife, sodom and gomorrah..

Okay, so god never
tells anyone to kill.

If he does, it's just a test.

And then he stops
the guy from doing it.

I have a feeling this act
has a lot less to do with god

and a lot more to do with Marie.

Alright, I'm on my way to
talk to the victim's brother.

Keep it up.

I'm so sorry for your
loss, but I have to ask..

Did your brother ever talked to
you about someone named Marie?

Marie? No.

Do you know if he
was having an affair?

That's not a simple question.

He and Cindy had known
each other since they were

I don't know, a
couple of dumb kids.

He had grown into
a different person

and she wanted him
to stay the way he was.

- Are we talking about sex?
- Yeah.

He wanted to
try different things

but he didn't want
to upset Cindy.

That's what he
kept saying to me.

He was trying to figure out
how do that without hurting her.

But finally, he realized
he had to leave.

He told you that? When?

A week or so before he died.

- Did Cindy know that?
- Of course!

Oh, Barry was
very honest with her.

He wanted to do this right.

But it just..

All went wrong.

So about a year
ago, the delacroixs

upgraded their computer system

and Barry discovered the
wonders of pornography.

Guy just went bananas.

Two grand a month
on their credit cards.

- He only made $45,000 a year.
- Wait, it gets better.

Look where he's been
spending most of his

Internet time last
couple of months.

"Free living," what is this?

It's like a swingers
organization.

- You mean like wife swapping?
- More like just group sex.

I've been trying to get in
touch with some of these people

but they're kind of
hard to track down.

Sex-addicted swinger
and a religious wife.

That's a recipe for disaster.

And a slam-dunk motive

if we can get somebody
from free living

to testify to Barry's
involvement.

- Keep looking.
- You got it.

Here's the ballistic report
on your b and e case.

Thank you.

(Maureen) 'Do you understand
you have the right to counsel?'

I've got nothing to hide.

The burglar pulled a
gun and we struggled.

Your fingerprints
are on the bullets.

You lied to me,
Mr. Simon. It was your gun.

That's, that's not possible.

I'm going to give you
exactly one more chance

to tell the truth.

Okay. It was my gun.

But it wasn't my
idea to lie about it.

Whose idea was it then?

The officer.. Macklin.

'Gosh, you know, I don't want
to cause trouble for anybody.'

what did macklin tell you?

Okay, the gun wasn't registered.

So when I told
macklin that, he said

I should say it was
the burglar's gun.

'He said it would save him.'

me, everybody, a
whole lot of trouble.

He'd, he'd just
write it up that way.

His fingerprints
are on the bullets.

Wait a minute, are you
saying that it was his gun?

He says you told
him to lie about it.

You think I filed
the false report?

I'm informing you
of what he said.

You know, a lot of guys
said some pretty nasty things

about you after you testified
against detective margate.

I wasn't one of them.

This is why I don't date cops.

If Dave Simon said I told
him to lie about that gun

then he's making that up

and if he's making that up,
he's making up everything else.

Two things, Cindy
delacroix purchased

a set of kitchen knives
six days before the murder.

I have a credit card
receipt to prove that.

Do we know if the murder
weapon came from those knives?

I'll have forensics check.

Great. What's the second thing?

Cindy got a new lawyer.

Somebody named Marla dodds.

No. Oh, no, no, no.

Well, who is she?

She's a nightmare
of a defense attorney

and an unapologetic media hound.

- That would make sense.
- Why?

'Cause she's outside on the
courthouse steps right now.

Religion is under
attack in this country

in our schools and
in our courthouses.

In this very courthouse

where our sister, Cindy
delacroix, will be tried.

Is this just?

Is it fair?

No. Why?

Because how can
a godless process

ever understand the heart

of a god-fearing woman?

'Let us all bow our heads'

and join in a silent vigil

for our sister Cindy.

And let us pray
that the holy spirit

will touch the heart
of this judge, this jury

this prosecuting attorney

'so that they, too, may one day'

be able to hear
the voice of god.

She's praying the
jury ignores the law?

She's saying religious
people should band together

regardless of the cause.

'She's manipulating emotions.'

she's going for
jury nullification.

So what does that mean for us?

[Sighs] It means I have
the strongest murder case

I could possibly have.

And I could lose.

No luck finding our swingers
or the mysterious Marie?

Nothing so far.
Detective pitts is still on it.

Well..

Show time.

[Indistinct chatter]

Ms. Chase.

It is an honor to do battle

with such a seasoned
star of Indiana's

criminal justice system.

Ms. Dodds.

Can we get you two together?

You know what Jesus
said at the last supper.

"Everybody who
wants in the picture

get on my side of the table."

[Indistinct chatter]

(Maureen) 'What you
told us is not adding up.'

did you know the man
you shot was a loan shark?

Really? No.

I have a sworn statement
from your ex-wife

saying she left you because
of your gambling addiction.

[Chuckles] Well, that's
her side of the story.

Mm-hmm.

Ernie hay came to your house
on the evening of September 8th

and you let him in.

And he demanded that you
pay him what you owed him.

This record book
from Ernie's apartment

has you in the red for
150 grand in football bets.

When you told him you couldn't
pay him, he threatened you

so you got your gun
out and shot him.

Come on. You-you know
that's not the way it was.

Then you broke the window
to make it look like a burglary

got his fingerprints on the gun
to make it look like it was his

to make it look
like self-defense.

It was self-defense.

Except there was no break-in
and he never had a gun.

And I never told you to
say that the gun was his.

I want to talk to a lawyer.

[Scoffs]

(Female #2) 'The first stab
wound was directly above'

'the right shoulder blade,
the second stab wound'

punctured the victim's left lung

and the third one went very deep

'causing massive
internal bleeding.'

how would you
categorize such wounds?

These would be
classified as rage wounds.

(Annabeth) 'Thank you.'

no questions, your honor.

Detective Welsh, can you
tell us if any of these knives

were used in the
commission of the crime?

The largest one,
the chef's knife

was found imbedded
in the victim's back.

(Annabeth) 'The one with the
defendant's fingerprints on it?'

- 'that's correct.'
- Nothing further, your honor.

Thank you for your
good work, detective.

No questions, your honor.

(Annabeth) 'Pastor rayburn..'

does god speak to you?

- 'Absolutely.'
- in what way?

I sense him in my
heart, in my soul.

In every way possible.

Does god condone killing?

No. Of course not.

(Annabeth) 'Thank you, pastor.'

no further questions,
your honor.

Pastor..

What does the Bible say

that god did to
sodom and gomorrah

for their sins of the flesh?

He destroyed them.

Objection, your
honor. The reference...

Your honor, Ms. Chase is the one

who opened the door
to this line of questioning

when she asked the witness
if god condoned killing.

Actually, I'm objecting
to the reference

to sodom and gomorrah,

in which god did
not ask an individual

to do the destruction,
he did it himself.

And if the court wishes
to get into biblical debates

we'll be here indefinitely.

Stay on target, Dr. Dodds.

Pastor, the last time that Cindy

came to you for help, what
was going on in her life?

She was struggling
to save her marriage.

Struggling against what?

Her husband's sexual obsessions.

'Mm! Could you
be more specific?'

he, he wanted Cindy to have
sex with multiple partners.

(Dodds) 'And what
did Cindy want?'

(male #3) 'A family.
A normal marriage.'

so, when Cindy asked
for your help, what..

What sort of advice
did you give her?

I said the Bible teaches
us to hold marriage sacred

but in this case, her marriage
may not be a real marriage

anymore, but a..

A perversion of marriage.

Oh, so, did you offer a remedy?

I told her to open her heart.

That god would
tell her what to do.

I think we made a big
mistake not arguing religion.

How'd it go?

She's turned into
St. Cindy in there.

We should call the
pastor again for tomorrow.

Steve, this is how she
does it. This is how she wins.

She puts the focus of the
debate as far away from the crime

as possible, and
gets you to follow her.

Guys, good news. I found
the swingers, they want to talk.

Let's not keep them waiting.

We've just been in a state of
utter confusion, Phil and me.

I mean, we couldn't
believe that Barry was dead.

It's just so awful.

When we heard all
the horrible things

they were saying
about Barry on TV

particularly because he
was involved in free living..

We knew we had to speak out.

Well, you did the right thing.

Yes, and we are interested
in anything you have to tell us.

Well, first of all,
Barry was a good man.

A sweetheart.

He did not deserve
to die like that.

And second, that woman,
keeps calling herself Cindy

his wife, she's a hypocrite.

You knew Cindy?

We knew her.

As Marie.

We've been getting the
victim's mail since the murder

and that bill just came in.

Barry reserved a moving truck.

Picking it up the day he died.

Somebody up there likes you.

Defense get a hold of that yet?

Yeah, they just
got it this morning.

Well, they're going to
claim Cindy didn't know

anything about it.

Now with Marla as her attorney

I have to get
Cindy on the stand.

Dodds won't let that
happen in a million years.

Cindy's a woman scorned.

I have to find a way
to let the jury see that.

Let the evidence show them.

That's just it, dodds has a way

of making evidence irrelevant.

I have to provoke
Cindy to testify.

Was Barry alone when he came

to the free living sex
parties here in Indianapolis?

First of all, they're
not parties, or orgies

they're sexual
exploration seminars.

The witness will
answer the question.

Did Barry come to these
sexual seminars alone?

No.

Who did he come with?

He came with his
girlfriend, Marie.

- Is Marie here today?
- Yes.

Would you point
her out to us, please?

Oh, she's lying.

Objection, your honor.

This is an
unsubstantiated allegation.

Your honor..

This dress..

With a name tag
that reads in full..

"Free living seminar.
Hi, my name is Marie."

Was found in the
delacroix's bedroom.

In Barry delacroix's
closet, not Cindy's.

Your honor, we are checking
DNA from the dress against DNA

taken from the defendant.

But if need be the
witness can identify

certain birthmarks on
the defendant's body.

Withdrawn.

What happened when
you first met Cindy?

She was real nervous,
so I got her a drink

and we just talked.

She enjoys drinking white
Russians, and so do I.

So I-I told her that they
don't have to be fattening

if you make 'em with skim milk.

(Annabeth) 'And
then what happened?'

she met my husband Phil,
and we danced a little bit

and, eventually, we
hooked up with Barry.

And then with a
couple of other couples

and, you know, had sex.

Who had sex?

We all had sex. Together.

Did you have sexual relations

with Cindy delacroix
at this seminar?

Yes. Two different times.

This is wrong.

Was she a willing participant?

- I would say so.
- Based on..

Based on..

She was very giving.

And she certainly
seemed... Satisfied.

She cannot say this about me.

Take your seat, Mrs. Delacroix.

She also came back to
three different seminars.

She is lying!

[Gavel banging]
No, let go of me!

This woman is lying,
and I demand to be heard!

This is my trial.

(Judge p. Teague) 'Order!
The defendant will be silent.'

'counselors, approach
the bench now.'

there is nothing more
fundamental then the right

of the accused to speak
in her own defense.

What about the rights
against self-incrimination?

She's on the record as saying

she wishes to
testify, Dr. Dodds.

'Has she expressed this
wish to your privately as well?'

she has, your honor.

Then that is her right.

(Cindy) 'We've been
married for 12 years'

'and our sex life had
always been normal.'

but then Barry started telling
me how repressed he felt.

That he enjoyed other things.

I know this is difficult, Cindy

but you need to
be more specific.

The lord wanted me
to do whatever it took

to save my marriage.

Even sleeping with other people?

It wasn't easy.

'Or pleasurable.'

I didn't enjoy anything,
like that woman said

but Barry wanted to experiment.

And did you want to experiment?

I didn't want to
lose my husband.

Love, honor and
obey your husband.

Those may be
words to some people

but to me, they're not.

'And I loved him..'

so much, I lowered myself.

It was..

Sickening.

'So, I prayed for guidance.'

I asked the lord to protect me.

And he answered me.

How?

A voice.

God spoke to me.

He said he was with me

but that I needed
to protect myself.

He told me to pick up the knife.

He told me he
would guide my hand.

And that's the last
thing I remember.

So, it's your testimony that
you had sex with Cheryl pierson

but you did not enjoy it?

I did not.

You did not enjoy it twice?

- 'Objection, your honor.'
- 'Withdrawn.'

did Barry force you to
have sex with other people?

Did he hurt you or threaten you?

I knew it was what he wanted.

But did he physically force you?

No.

'Did he threaten
you in any way?'

no.

Did things improve
between you and Barry

after you had sex
with other people?

No, they did not.

In fact, Barry reserved
a rental moving truck

six days before the murder.

Isn't that true?

I'm not sure.

It must have been awful for you

to have lowered
yourself like that.

Sacrificed your standards

your morals, your own body.

I prayed that he would
see the error of his ways.

Because god gives us free will.

That's right.

Did god tell you to
go to those sex parties

or did you choose that
of your own free will?

I did it to save my marriage.

But you chose to
stay in that marriage.

'Barry wanted a
divorce. He wanted out.'

he told you he intended to
have sex with other people

but you chose to stay.

I loved him.

Love is a powerful
thing, Mrs. Delacroix

but so is rage.

So is shame.

Like the shame you felt
when you attended sex party

after sex party, debased
yourself with another woman

'and Barry told you he
was moving out, anyway.'

and the rage you felt when
you picked up that knife

and of your own free will
stabbed him in the back.

- No.
- 'You wanted revenge.'

you wanted him to
pay, you wanted him

to hurt the way
you were hurting.

I just didn't want
him to leave me!

How great was that?

If this were any other trial

I'd say you made your case

but whatever you did,
dodds has succeeded

in making god the defendant.

There are one or two jurors just
lapping up everything she says.

You're gonna have
to get through to them.

It all comes down to
the closing argument.

You're gonna have to make a
better sermon than she does.

God is real

and god speaks to us all.

'But most of us
choose to ignore him'

because most of us don't want..

To hear his word

because if we did..

We might be called upon to act.

To sacrifice.

I'm sure that

that many of you

have a personal
relationship with god

'but you are also under attack'

because in this country

if a person says

that god speaks to
them, not in an intellectual

or metaphorical way,
but actually, actually

speaks to them, that person..

Will be vilified.

'Barry delacroix
was a lost man.'

'he lost his faith.'

'he chose to live
a life of perversity'

and depravity, and he wanted

and expected his wife

to do the same.

He wanted his wife

to have homosexual experiences

for his entertainment.

He wanted to offer
her body to other men

for their sexual gratification.

Now, you tell me

who has committed
the crime here?

'This man, or this woman'

who has listened

to the never-changing voice..

Of a moral god?

Does the prosecution
wish to rebut?

I'm not here to debate

whether Cindy delacroix
is a woman of faith.

I don't know if god
has provided her

comfort and guidance
throughout her life.

I hope he has.

I'm here to see
that Cindy delacroix

is held responsible for
the act she committed.

Her husband Barry

had some strange
ideas, I'll give you that.

But he never forced
her to do anything.

He tried to extricate
himself from the marriage

so they could both lead
the lives they wanted

but instead, Cindy chose

to attend numerous
sex parties with him

where she chose to have
sex with other people.

When Barry decided
to leave, anyway

Cindy chose to take
matters into her own hands.

She chose a particular knife

and when her husband was
about to walk out the door forever

she chose to Bury that knife

in his back, not once..

Not twice..

Three times.

Cindy delacroix is not a Saint.

She is a murderer.

[Dramatic music]

(Judge p. Teague) Will
the defendant please rise.

Members of the jury,
have you reached a verdict?

- We have, your honor.
- 'What say you?'

on the sole count of
murder, we the jury

'find the defendant,
Cindy delacroix..'

guilty.

[Indistinct chatter]

(Judge p. Teague) 'Bailiffs,
take charge of the defendant.'

'members of the jury, this
completes your service.'

'you are dismissed with
the thanks of the court.'

'we are adjourned.'
