Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,402 --> 00:00:02,192
In the criminal justice system,
2
00:00:02,217 --> 00:00:03,398
the people are represented
3
00:00:03,423 --> 00:00:05,863
by two separate, yet
equally important groups:
4
00:00:06,140 --> 00:00:07,920
The police, who
investigate crime,
5
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:10,880
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:10,905 --> 00:00:12,565
These are their stories.
7
00:00:25,890 --> 00:00:27,070
How is everything?
8
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:29,680
This turkey meatloaf
thing is sublime.
9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:30,940
I hope that means good.
10
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:32,290
It means amazing.
11
00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:34,510
It's all about the mint.
12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,650
How long are you gonna
be here in this location?
13
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:41,950
Another two weeks.
14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,780
I hope to see you real soon.
15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,520
Hey, what's up, man?
- Hey.
16
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:48,960
I've been waiting on your call.
17
00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:50,920
Sorry, I've been real busy.
18
00:00:51,261 --> 00:00:53,180
Okay, so?
19
00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:55,400
Well, I'm here now.
20
00:00:55,716 --> 00:00:58,270
Now is not a good time.
21
00:00:58,529 --> 00:00:59,750
Wait. Wait, for real?
22
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,890
Come on, man.
23
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:03,630
Oh, I forgot.
24
00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:04,850
You're a big shot.
25
00:01:04,890 --> 00:01:06,070
Hey, don't make a scene.
26
00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:08,020
Or what? Huh?
27
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:09,136
Hey, whoa, whoa, take it easy.
28
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,160
Hey, man. Walk away.
29
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,110
Hey, come on, Cheese.
30
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,810
Get out of here, now.
31
00:01:17,654 --> 00:01:19,264
I'll see both of
y'all real soon.
32
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:32,270
One victim, male, Black,
33
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:34,620
appears to have been
stabbed in the chest.
34
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:35,920
Vic got a name?
35
00:01:35,999 --> 00:01:37,570
Uh, Jordan Bryant.
36
00:01:37,827 --> 00:01:40,450
He's the owner of the
pop-up, whatever that means.
37
00:01:40,734 --> 00:01:42,140
Have we recovered
a murder weapon?
38
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:43,540
Not yet.
39
00:01:43,580 --> 00:01:45,540
Any sign this might
have been a burglary?
40
00:01:46,031 --> 00:01:49,670
Cell phone's there.
Wallet's on his body.
41
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,810
Let's bag those knives,
have them tested
42
00:01:51,850 --> 00:01:53,630
for fingerprints and DNA.
43
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Got it.
44
00:01:54,770 --> 00:01:56,250
Cameras?
45
00:01:56,290 --> 00:01:58,250
Yeah, but the security
system has been shut off.
46
00:02:00,990 --> 00:02:03,820
"Eat like it's your
last day on Earth."
47
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:07,210
That's a catchy slogan.
48
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:09,610
Until it becomes true.
49
00:03:00,570 --> 00:03:03,400
Jordan and I were, uh,
cleaning up for the night.
50
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,320
And, um, I felt like a smoke,
so I walked over to a bodega,
51
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,800
and I bought a
pack of cigarettes.
52
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,410
When I walked back
into the restaurant,
53
00:03:13,450 --> 00:03:18,330
I saw all this blood,
and then I saw Jordan.
54
00:03:18,370 --> 00:03:20,720
He was on the floor, and...
55
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,420
Hey, it's okay.
56
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:24,380
Just take your time.
57
00:03:24,420 --> 00:03:27,510
So I... I started to
walk over to Jordan,
58
00:03:27,550 --> 00:03:29,406
and... and I heard someone,
so I grabbed a knife
59
00:03:29,430 --> 00:03:31,820
and I chased him
out to the street.
60
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:34,910
And then what happened?
61
00:03:34,950 --> 00:03:36,260
Then he, uh
62
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:38,870
he jumped into a car
and he drove off.
63
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:40,180
What kind of car?
64
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,260
BMW, black.
65
00:03:42,310 --> 00:03:44,050
You happen to get a
look at the plate?
66
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:45,350
No.
67
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,230
Sorry, my... my
head was spinning.
68
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:48,530
Hey. It's okay.
69
00:03:48,570 --> 00:03:49,880
You're doing great.
70
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,930
What about the guy?
You get eyes on him?
71
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:56,060
Tell me, uh, skin
color, height, build...
72
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:57,890
White.
73
00:03:57,930 --> 00:03:59,110
Maybe Latino.
74
00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:01,890
Average height, thin.
75
00:04:01,940 --> 00:04:03,290
How about clothing?
76
00:04:03,330 --> 00:04:05,550
He had a New York
Islanders cap on.
77
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:08,380
And, uh, he was wearing a
shiny green puffer jacket,
78
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:10,070
one of those expensive ones.
79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,290
Had an M on it.
80
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:14,300
Like a logo?
81
00:04:14,340 --> 00:04:16,730
Yeah, on the left sleeve.
82
00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:18,170
All right, this is great, Chris.
83
00:04:18,210 --> 00:04:19,690
Thank you.
84
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:23,390
Now, earlier in the night,
did anything unusual happen?
85
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,350
Yeah, uh, now that
you mention it.
86
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,140
So the waiter's our
only eyewitness.
87
00:04:29,180 --> 00:04:31,440
He said the victim got
into a heated argument
88
00:04:31,490 --> 00:04:34,320
earlier in the night,
almost came to blows.
89
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,930
He had to break it up.
90
00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:37,646
And then lo and behold, a few
hours later, the vic is dead.
91
00:04:37,670 --> 00:04:40,020
So was the guy in the
restaurant the same guy
92
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:42,540
the waiter said he saw
running from the murder scene?
93
00:04:42,590 --> 00:04:44,630
He doesn't think so,
but you never know.
94
00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:46,436
I mean, it could be more than
one person involved, right?
95
00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:48,720
So does the waiter know
the first guy's name?
96
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:50,696
He doesn't know his name, but
he kept saying that the vic
97
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,470
referred to him as "Cheese."
98
00:04:52,510 --> 00:04:54,470
He noticed a snake
tattoo on the forearm,
99
00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:57,080
so he's running the
tattoo and the alias
100
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,430
through the database now.
101
00:04:58,470 --> 00:05:00,690
All right, so what do
we know about the vic?
102
00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:02,106
There's not a lot of
data in the system,
103
00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:03,560
which is kind of weird.
104
00:05:03,610 --> 00:05:05,650
So, I mean, his credit
cards, his driver's license,
105
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,610
utility bills...
nothing tracks back
106
00:05:07,650 --> 00:05:09,830
before 24 months or so.
107
00:05:09,870 --> 00:05:11,090
Hey.
108
00:05:11,140 --> 00:05:12,830
Just confirmed our
eyewitness's statement.
109
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,156
He was, in fact, out
buying cigarettes.
110
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:15,856
Bodega he went to was
about 10 minutes away
111
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,970
from the restaurant,
so theoretically,
112
00:05:18,010 --> 00:05:19,840
our victim was alone
for about 20 minutes.
113
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,100
But is there any chance the
waiter could have done it?
114
00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:24,110
I mean, just because he
was buying cigarettes
115
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:25,370
doesn't mean he's innocent.
116
00:05:25,410 --> 00:05:26,826
I get it, but we
don't like him for it.
117
00:05:26,850 --> 00:05:28,980
No, there was no blood on
his hands or his clothes.
118
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:30,370
His story checks out.
119
00:05:30,420 --> 00:05:32,720
All right. How about
that black BMW?
120
00:05:32,770 --> 00:05:34,030
Yes, we got video of that.
121
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:35,640
It passed by an
automotive repair shop
122
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,340
a few blocks from the scene
123
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:39,160
about two minutes
after the 911 call.
124
00:05:39,210 --> 00:05:41,470
And I don't suppose the
video captured the plates.
125
00:05:41,510 --> 00:05:42,990
Did not.
126
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,520
Hey.
127
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,496
So that snake tattoo comes
back to the Brooklyn Vipers.
128
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,430
There's one dude in
the gang database
129
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,170
who goes by the alias "Cheese."
130
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:54,440
His name is Nick Perez, and he
has a pretty good rap sheet.
131
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,100
This look our guy?
132
00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:05,840
Nick Perez.
133
00:06:05,890 --> 00:06:07,580
Yeah?
134
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:09,670
Need to talk to you
about last night.
135
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,086
Last night?
What you mean?
136
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:13,420
Word is you got into
a beef with the chef.
137
00:06:13,460 --> 00:06:14,786
What, you're here
about an argument?
138
00:06:14,810 --> 00:06:16,240
Nah, we're here about a murder.
139
00:06:16,290 --> 00:06:17,550
- Murder?
- Yeah.
140
00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:18,706
The guy that you were
arguing with last night
141
00:06:18,730 --> 00:06:20,030
ended up getting stabbed.
142
00:06:20,070 --> 00:06:21,576
We're trying to figure
out what happened.
143
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,446
Maybe you were involved?
Maybe you know who was?
144
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:24,860
I don't know nothing about that.
145
00:06:24,910 --> 00:06:26,626
Where were you last night
from 10:00 to 12:00?
146
00:06:26,650 --> 00:06:29,080
Nah, nah. I ain't
playing this game.
147
00:06:29,130 --> 00:06:30,560
I want a lawyer.
148
00:06:30,610 --> 00:06:32,146
I've been wrongly accused
of too many things.
149
00:06:32,170 --> 00:06:34,106
- I bet you have. Come on.
- Then we'll make that happen.
150
00:06:34,130 --> 00:06:37,050
Let's go. Come on.
151
00:06:39,830 --> 00:06:42,400
First off, my client
didn't kill anyone.
152
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,790
Okay, if you say so.
153
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:45,580
But we're gonna need
a lot more than that.
154
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:46,880
I liked Jordan.
155
00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:48,540
We grew up in the same
apartment complex,
156
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:50,060
Hamilton Gardens.
157
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:52,540
They always give,
uh, housing projects
158
00:06:52,590 --> 00:06:54,200
such nice names, you know?
159
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,850
So you and Jordan
were friends, then.
160
00:06:55,890 --> 00:06:58,110
Yeah, you could say that.
161
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,486
And you could also say
you guys got in a fight
162
00:06:59,510 --> 00:07:00,876
last night at his
place of business.
163
00:07:00,900 --> 00:07:02,550
We did not get into a fight.
164
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:04,470
We got into an
argument. We argued.
165
00:07:04,510 --> 00:07:07,080
Then some pretty boy waiter
tried to get in the middle,
166
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,300
and that's it.
167
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:09,650
That's all that happened.
168
00:07:09,690 --> 00:07:10,910
Where were you last night
169
00:07:10,950 --> 00:07:12,390
between 11:00 p.m. and midnight?
170
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:13,650
My apartment.
171
00:07:13,690 --> 00:07:15,740
Uh, I got home at, like, 10:30.
172
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:18,440
Check the security cameras
on my apartment complex.
173
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,180
All right. We're gonna do that.
174
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:21,570
Help me out here.
175
00:07:21,610 --> 00:07:23,466
So why did you go see
Jordan in the first place?
176
00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:24,970
To talk business.
177
00:07:25,010 --> 00:07:26,920
I'm trying to
expand my operation.
178
00:07:26,970 --> 00:07:29,710
I'm trying to buy
a few food trucks,
179
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:31,686
so I thought my boy Walker
would be the perfect fit.
180
00:07:31,710 --> 00:07:35,020
But then he changed his
mind, so we got into it.
181
00:07:35,060 --> 00:07:37,760
Hold on a second. Who's Walker?
182
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,070
I had the ME run
Jordan's fingerprints.
183
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:42,160
Turns out his birth
name was Jordan Walker,
184
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,720
not Jordan Bryant.
185
00:07:43,770 --> 00:07:46,120
Court records show he changed
his name two years ago,
186
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,210
a few weeks after he was
released from prison.
187
00:07:48,250 --> 00:07:49,990
Prison? What was he in for?
188
00:07:50,030 --> 00:07:53,250
Served 12 years for the rape
and murder of a little girl.
189
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:54,650
What?
190
00:07:54,690 --> 00:07:57,080
But he was exonerated
based on DNA evidence.
191
00:07:57,130 --> 00:07:59,520
Damn.
192
00:07:59,570 --> 00:08:01,040
Guy finally gets
a taste of freedom
193
00:08:01,090 --> 00:08:03,480
only to wind up with
a knife in his chest.
194
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:09,770
Jordan Walker was
released 26 months ago.
195
00:08:09,982 --> 00:08:12,462
Changed his surname to
Bryant shortly thereafter.
196
00:08:12,674 --> 00:08:14,582
Was Jordan actually innocent?
197
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:17,710
We finally tested the
DNA on the victim's body.
198
00:08:17,735 --> 00:08:19,045
Wasn't his.
199
00:08:19,070 --> 00:08:21,070
So how was he convicted
in the first place?
200
00:08:21,095 --> 00:08:23,395
Same way most people are.
201
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:24,900
Bad ID.
202
00:08:25,286 --> 00:08:27,082
It's more common than you think.
203
00:08:27,251 --> 00:08:29,161
Once that mighty ball
of justice gets rolling,
204
00:08:29,186 --> 00:08:31,056
it's hard to stop.
205
00:08:31,081 --> 00:08:33,301
- Sounds like a cop-out.
- More like a fact.
206
00:08:33,475 --> 00:08:36,565
And in this particular case,
there was a lot of pressure.
207
00:08:36,590 --> 00:08:39,590
Victim was a young,
affluent white girl.
208
00:08:39,663 --> 00:08:40,843
You know how it is.
209
00:08:41,016 --> 00:08:42,456
I sure do.
210
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,097
How's it going, gentlemen?
211
00:08:44,874 --> 00:08:46,044
Hey, DA Baxter.
212
00:08:46,069 --> 00:08:47,589
Good to see you.
213
00:08:47,614 --> 00:08:49,094
- How are you?
- Good.
214
00:08:49,119 --> 00:08:51,339
Kim was telling me about
what happened to Mr. Bryant.
215
00:08:51,850 --> 00:08:52,871
I want you to know
we're here to help,
216
00:08:52,896 --> 00:08:53,936
anything you guys need.
217
00:08:53,961 --> 00:08:55,157
Thank you. We appreciate that.
218
00:08:55,182 --> 00:08:56,442
Any leads so far?
219
00:08:56,467 --> 00:08:57,652
At the moment, we're just trying
220
00:08:57,677 --> 00:08:58,987
to unravel what happened.
221
00:08:59,012 --> 00:09:00,768
How did he end up in
prison in the first place
222
00:09:00,793 --> 00:09:02,574
and how he spent his time
after he was released.
223
00:09:02,599 --> 00:09:04,209
Right.
224
00:09:04,381 --> 00:09:07,381
Well, like I said, we'll
do whatever you need.
225
00:09:07,406 --> 00:09:10,496
You know, I worked a couple
wrongful conviction cases
226
00:09:10,521 --> 00:09:12,741
when I was in private
practice, pro bono.
227
00:09:12,766 --> 00:09:14,246
I loved it.
228
00:09:14,271 --> 00:09:17,361
Probably the most exhilarating
cases I've ever tried.
229
00:09:17,504 --> 00:09:18,957
I bet.
230
00:09:18,982 --> 00:09:20,178
Yeah, it's gotta be
an amazing feeling,
231
00:09:20,203 --> 00:09:21,463
getting someone exonerated.
232
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:23,027
I wouldn't know.
233
00:09:23,052 --> 00:09:25,702
I was 0 for 2.
234
00:09:25,727 --> 00:09:28,207
The only two trials
I've ever lost.
235
00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:31,830
He's right.
236
00:09:31,958 --> 00:09:34,918
It's really hard to actually
get someone exonerated,
237
00:09:35,013 --> 00:09:36,713
innocent or not.
- Yeah.
238
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:39,097
Powerful people hate
admitting they screwed up.
239
00:09:39,122 --> 00:09:40,912
That is true.
240
00:09:40,937 --> 00:09:42,857
Now, turning back to
Jordan for a second,
241
00:09:42,882 --> 00:09:44,142
are you aware of any problems
242
00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:45,907
he was having since his release?
243
00:09:45,932 --> 00:09:48,582
Anyone harassing
him, threatening him?
244
00:09:48,607 --> 00:09:49,737
Not to my knowledge.
245
00:09:49,918 --> 00:09:50,878
How about family?
246
00:09:50,926 --> 00:09:53,236
Was he married, any kids?
247
00:09:53,401 --> 00:09:55,231
We still have to
make a notification.
248
00:09:58,692 --> 00:10:01,442
He died last night?
249
00:10:01,467 --> 00:10:02,857
He did.
250
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,970
Around midnight.
251
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:08,670
We're very sorry for your loss.
252
00:10:09,873 --> 00:10:13,533
Ms. Walker, we do have a few
questions, if that's okay.
253
00:10:13,729 --> 00:10:17,079
Do you know if your father
was involved in any fights
254
00:10:17,104 --> 00:10:18,972
or altercations recently?
255
00:10:19,182 --> 00:10:20,262
Not that I'm aware of.
256
00:10:20,563 --> 00:10:22,082
Did he have any enemies?
257
00:10:22,199 --> 00:10:24,785
Well, there are the fellas
from the old neighborhood,
258
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:26,947
the ones who never
visited him in prison,
259
00:10:26,972 --> 00:10:29,136
the ones who couldn't care
less that he was suffering
260
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,363
in some concrete hole.
261
00:10:30,388 --> 00:10:33,843
The second he collected
that $10 million settlement,
262
00:10:33,868 --> 00:10:35,908
they acted like he had
some sort of obligation
263
00:10:35,933 --> 00:10:36,722
to share it with them.
264
00:10:36,921 --> 00:10:39,921
Your dad actually got
paid? He won 10 million?
265
00:10:40,188 --> 00:10:42,408
I'm not sure he won anything.
266
00:10:42,623 --> 00:10:45,273
But yes, he reached a
settlement with the city.
267
00:10:47,579 --> 00:10:49,619
But the truth is, we
weren't that close.
268
00:10:54,045 --> 00:10:56,265
I tried.
269
00:10:56,290 --> 00:10:57,970
But it was really hard
to connect with him.
270
00:10:59,263 --> 00:11:01,083
Just because somebody
gets exonerated
271
00:11:01,108 --> 00:11:02,304
doesn't mean you
snap your fingers
272
00:11:02,329 --> 00:11:04,549
and the world is
suddenly perfect
273
00:11:04,848 --> 00:11:07,198
and the past 12 years
didn't actually happen.
274
00:11:09,485 --> 00:11:10,665
He tried, though.
275
00:11:12,643 --> 00:11:16,173
Gave me $100,000.
276
00:11:16,353 --> 00:11:19,483
I was able to pay
off my student loans.
277
00:11:19,508 --> 00:11:21,479
We just have a few
more questions, okay?
278
00:11:21,504 --> 00:11:22,889
We're almost done.
279
00:11:22,914 --> 00:11:24,930
Can you tell us the last time
that you spoke to your father?
280
00:11:24,955 --> 00:11:26,875
The last time you saw him?
281
00:11:27,199 --> 00:11:28,419
A couple of days ago.
282
00:11:28,444 --> 00:11:30,080
And did he mention
anything unusual then?
283
00:11:30,549 --> 00:11:32,639
He was upset.
284
00:11:32,664 --> 00:11:35,234
He'd just split up with
his business partner.
285
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:37,089
It got pretty ugly too.
286
00:11:43,237 --> 00:11:46,733
Jordan was a great chef
and a terrible businessman.
287
00:11:46,758 --> 00:11:49,018
He just... he didn't seem
to understand that the goal
288
00:11:49,043 --> 00:11:50,759
was to actually make money.
- All right, look.
289
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:52,720
This is a video
of you and Jordan
290
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:55,046
arguing outside his
apartment two days ago.
291
00:11:56,180 --> 00:11:58,490
So?
292
00:11:58,992 --> 00:12:01,212
So you wanna tell us what
you were fighting about?
293
00:12:01,237 --> 00:12:02,335
Money.
294
00:12:02,378 --> 00:12:04,508
Or to be more precise,
the lack of money.
295
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,060
He was overspending
on everything.
296
00:12:07,085 --> 00:12:10,280
He blew five grand on cutlery,
another ten on artwork.
297
00:12:10,305 --> 00:12:12,241
And then, just when things
couldn't get any worse,
298
00:12:12,266 --> 00:12:14,876
he and his buddies decided
to throw an after-hours party
299
00:12:14,901 --> 00:12:17,461
and drink ten bottles of
our most expensive wine.
300
00:12:17,486 --> 00:12:19,624
So yeah, I was pissed.
301
00:12:20,721 --> 00:12:22,291
And sad, too, you know?
302
00:12:22,316 --> 00:12:25,446
I... I really wanted
it to work out.
303
00:12:25,761 --> 00:12:27,306
You mind telling us
where you were last night
304
00:12:27,331 --> 00:12:29,461
between 10:00 and 12:00?
305
00:12:29,486 --> 00:12:32,470
At a charity event in
Harlem for at-risk youth.
306
00:12:32,619 --> 00:12:35,059
I'm on the board.
307
00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:37,450
All right, Charles, if
there's anything else
308
00:12:37,475 --> 00:12:39,515
that you know, or
if you have any idea
309
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:42,240
who might have done this...
310
00:12:42,495 --> 00:12:45,255
The father of that girl
who was raped and killed
311
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,370
14 years ago, he
wasn't too happy
312
00:12:47,395 --> 00:12:48,705
about Jordan getting released.
313
00:12:48,730 --> 00:12:51,260
He refused to believe he
was actually innocent.
314
00:12:51,334 --> 00:12:52,774
How do you know?
315
00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:55,499
He showed up at one of our
pop-ups a few months back,
316
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:57,224
and he went after Jordan hard.
317
00:12:57,566 --> 00:12:58,981
He told everyone
in the damn place
318
00:12:59,006 --> 00:13:01,616
that Jordan was a
rapist and a murderer.
319
00:13:03,342 --> 00:13:04,952
He threatened to kill him too.
320
00:13:11,168 --> 00:13:13,030
I can't believe Jordan's dead.
321
00:13:13,070 --> 00:13:14,215
It's crazy.
322
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,900
It's like the punch line
to the worst joke ever.
323
00:13:17,940 --> 00:13:19,950
I mean, Jordan never
should have been arrested,
324
00:13:19,990 --> 00:13:20,900
let alone convicted.
325
00:13:20,950 --> 00:13:22,600
But that's on me.
326
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,430
I'm the one who ID'd him,
in court, under oath.
327
00:13:25,470 --> 00:13:27,560
So you recognize that
Jordan was innocent?
328
00:13:27,610 --> 00:13:29,390
Yeah, I do now.
329
00:13:29,430 --> 00:13:31,570
Even though you
were harassing him?
330
00:13:31,610 --> 00:13:32,846
You chased him down
to a restaurant.
331
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:34,130
You called him a murderer.
332
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:37,570
I'm not proud of the
way I acted, trust me.
333
00:13:37,620 --> 00:13:41,490
I just... I didn't wanna
believe he was innocent.
334
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:42,710
Then I talked to the woman
335
00:13:42,750 --> 00:13:45,060
at the post-conviction
justice unit.
336
00:13:45,100 --> 00:13:46,296
I asked her to go over the case,
337
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,320
show me the actual DNA results.
338
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:50,980
I realized I was wrong.
339
00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:53,330
We noticed that you made
ten phone calls to him
340
00:13:53,370 --> 00:13:54,680
the week prior to his murder.
341
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,956
What were you two talking about?
342
00:13:55,980 --> 00:13:57,070
I was trying to help him.
343
00:13:57,110 --> 00:13:58,160
With what?
344
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,590
Life.
345
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,600
Even though Jordan was
free, he was struggling.
346
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,096
He didn't seem to have
much money, either,
347
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,030
or access to money, anyway.
348
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,860
So I helped him out.
349
00:14:06,910 --> 00:14:08,470
I loaned him $20,000.
350
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,130
What are you talking about?
351
00:14:10,170 --> 00:14:11,810
The guy just won a $10
million settlement.
352
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:18,260
So we did a deep dive
into Jordan's finances.
353
00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:19,870
Turns out he was almost broke.
354
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,270
Had about 15 grand in
his various accounts.
355
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:23,620
Well, where'd all the money go?
356
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:25,580
He had a $10 million settlement.
357
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:28,710
I know, but somehow, he only
ended up getting about 1.1.
358
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:30,490
And he blew through
that pretty quick too.
359
00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:33,370
Nothing crazy, but
typical stuff... rent,
360
00:14:33,410 --> 00:14:35,110
clothes, business expenses.
361
00:14:35,150 --> 00:14:36,280
Gave his daughter 100 grand.
362
00:14:36,330 --> 00:14:37,630
All right.
363
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,850
So where did the
other $8.9 million go?
364
00:14:39,890 --> 00:14:42,590
Well, according to
the city comptroller,
365
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,940
a lump sum of $10
million was paid
366
00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:46,120
directly to Jordan's lawyer.
367
00:14:53,390 --> 00:14:54,950
I hate to break
the news, fellas,
368
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,610
but getting justice for
someone isn't cheap,
369
00:14:57,650 --> 00:14:59,870
whether or not they're innocent.
370
00:14:59,910 --> 00:15:01,440
I never said it was
cheap, but still,
371
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,180
I mean, he was
awarded 10 million
372
00:15:03,220 --> 00:15:05,050
and he only deposited 1.
373
00:15:05,090 --> 00:15:08,140
Yeah, well, it is what it is.
374
00:15:08,180 --> 00:15:09,920
Can you be any more specific?
375
00:15:09,970 --> 00:15:13,540
We worked on his criminal
appeal for free, pro bono.
376
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:15,320
Didn't charge him a penny.
377
00:15:15,370 --> 00:15:18,150
But it costs over a
million in hard costs
378
00:15:18,190 --> 00:15:22,330
private investigators,
paralegals, forensic examiners.
379
00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:25,380
This is money he has to
pay back with interest.
380
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:27,380
What else was deducted?
381
00:15:27,420 --> 00:15:30,340
My fee, 55%.
382
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:31,820
That's pretty high.
383
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:35,040
I take a lot of risk, spend
a lot of my own money.
384
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,000
Still pretty high.
385
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,870
Maybe, but I'm worth it.
386
00:15:39,910 --> 00:15:41,700
But why are you
guys really here?
387
00:15:41,740 --> 00:15:44,440
What does any of this have
to do with Jordan's murder?
388
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Well, that's a
very good question.
389
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,790
We were kind of hoping you
might be able to tell us.
390
00:15:48,830 --> 00:15:51,620
I'm sorry. I... I
don't have a clue.
391
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,490
Were you aware of any
problems or issues
392
00:15:53,530 --> 00:15:54,986
he was having with
anybody harassing him
393
00:15:55,010 --> 00:15:56,280
or threatening him?
394
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,710
I'm not sure.
395
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,370
I'm guessing the answer
is a resounding yes.
396
00:16:01,410 --> 00:16:02,720
Now, why would you say that?
397
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,630
The man spent 12
years in prison.
398
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,590
I bet he made a lot of enemies.
399
00:16:13,210 --> 00:16:15,690
This article says Keith
Palmer has the highest number
400
00:16:15,730 --> 00:16:18,120
of exonerations in the state.
401
00:16:18,170 --> 00:16:19,650
Great. He gets results.
402
00:16:19,690 --> 00:16:21,740
Doesn't mean he's not a crook.
403
00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:23,820
Two things can be true at once.
404
00:16:23,870 --> 00:16:25,520
Looks like Jordan
wasn't too happy
405
00:16:25,570 --> 00:16:27,026
with his attorney's
fee structure, either.
406
00:16:27,050 --> 00:16:28,960
He filed a complaint
with the New York Bar
407
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,400
two weeks ago,
claims Keith Palmer
408
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,100
conned him out of $3 million.
409
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:36,230
And it looks like he was about
to go public with it too.
410
00:16:36,270 --> 00:16:37,620
Good for him.
411
00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:39,116
The question is, is
that enough of a motive
412
00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:40,410
for someone like Palmer?
413
00:16:40,450 --> 00:16:42,670
I mean, would he
really kill over that?
414
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:45,280
- It's possible.
- Why, you got something?
415
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,200
Well, I've been looking
into Palmer, too,
416
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,890
and it looks like he's about
to be appointed a judge.
417
00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:51,770
So yeah, now would
be a really bad time
418
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:53,850
to have your pants
pulled down by a client,
419
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:56,030
especially one as
sympathetic as Jordan Bryant.
420
00:16:56,070 --> 00:16:58,250
All right, go back and
talk to the waiter again.
421
00:16:58,290 --> 00:16:59,950
Let's see if he can ID Palmer.
422
00:16:59,990 --> 00:17:01,120
Mm-hmm.
423
00:17:01,170 --> 00:17:02,780
It all happened pretty fast.
424
00:17:02,820 --> 00:17:04,366
I'm not sure that I'll
be able to remember
425
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:05,340
what he looked like.
426
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:06,430
It's okay.
427
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,480
Let's take a look at these.
428
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,180
If any of them jump out, go
ahead and point, all right?
429
00:17:11,220 --> 00:17:12,610
No pressure.
430
00:17:12,660 --> 00:17:14,960
I've definitely seen
this guy before.
431
00:17:15,010 --> 00:17:16,440
How do you know him?
432
00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:19,270
He used to come to Jordan's
pop-ups with his wife.
433
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,400
They were nice.
434
00:17:20,450 --> 00:17:21,670
Good tippers too.
435
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:23,386
How about the guy that
you saw running out
436
00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:25,060
of the restaurant that night?
437
00:17:25,100 --> 00:17:27,450
If he's there, let us know.
438
00:17:30,060 --> 00:17:32,550
He was wearing a
shiny green jacket,
439
00:17:32,590 --> 00:17:35,640
and he had a New York
Islanders hat on.
440
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,990
Yeah, um, you already told us
441
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:39,640
about the hat and
the jacket, so.
442
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,096
We're gonna focus on
the faces for now.
443
00:17:41,120 --> 00:17:43,210
The man that you saw running
out of the restaurant,
444
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:44,276
if you see him there, point.
445
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:45,470
If not, don't.
446
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,050
I'm happy to help
you figure this out,
447
00:17:54,090 --> 00:17:56,220
but this is actually
not a great time for me.
448
00:17:56,270 --> 00:17:57,660
So if you don't mind...
449
00:17:57,700 --> 00:17:59,466
Look, we can talk about
this here or the precinct.
450
00:17:59,490 --> 00:18:00,490
It's up to you.
451
00:18:00,530 --> 00:18:01,840
What's going on?
452
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,050
I'm good.
453
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:04,556
Don't... don't worry
about it, sweetie.
454
00:18:04,580 --> 00:18:06,450
Ma'am, you need to
step back, all right?
455
00:18:06,490 --> 00:18:07,866
We're gonna talk to your
husband for a minute.
456
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:09,190
Step back?
457
00:18:09,230 --> 00:18:10,670
This is my house.
458
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:12,500
Mandy, it's fine.
459
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:15,630
Just give us five minutes, okay?
460
00:18:17,370 --> 00:18:18,980
I'll be upstairs.
461
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,340
Mr. Palmer, where
were you the night
462
00:18:24,380 --> 00:18:26,340
that Jordan was murdered?
463
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:27,730
Are you serious right now?
464
00:18:27,770 --> 00:18:30,170
Please just answer the question.
465
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:31,520
This is preposterous.
466
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,260
You have a black BMW registered
467
00:18:33,300 --> 00:18:35,390
to your business, correct?
468
00:18:35,430 --> 00:18:37,220
Thanks for coming
by. I'm done talking.
469
00:18:37,260 --> 00:18:38,390
I want a lawyer.
470
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:39,896
Well, if you're
officially done talking,
471
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,506
there's only one thing
left for us to do.
472
00:18:41,530 --> 00:18:42,790
And what's that?
473
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:44,700
Arrest you for the
murder of Jordan Bryant.
474
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:46,270
Hands behind your back, please.
475
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:47,710
You're making a mistake.
476
00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:49,320
You have the right
to remain silent.
477
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,970
Anything you say can and
will be held against you.
478
00:18:53,183 --> 00:18:57,564
Calling docket ending in
9009, People v. Keith Palmer,
479
00:18:57,589 --> 00:19:00,518
charging murder in
the second degree.
480
00:19:01,262 --> 00:19:02,572
Where's the defendant?
481
00:19:02,660 --> 00:19:03,790
My client is in custody.
482
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,620
He waived his presence and asked
483
00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:08,320
that a plea of "not guilty"
be entered on his behalf.
484
00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:09,739
The People object.
485
00:19:09,764 --> 00:19:13,058
We ask that he be brought into
the courtroom for arraignment.
486
00:19:13,083 --> 00:19:15,410
Why should I allow his
absence, Mr. Delahunt?
487
00:19:15,460 --> 00:19:16,826
This case relies
on a questionable
488
00:19:16,850 --> 00:19:18,460
eyewitness identification.
489
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:19,916
I plan to file a
motion to suppress.
490
00:19:19,940 --> 00:19:21,720
My client's face
in this courtroom
491
00:19:21,770 --> 00:19:23,770
would defeat the purpose.
492
00:19:23,810 --> 00:19:25,470
Are you seeking bail?
493
00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:26,810
The People seek remand.
494
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:28,560
The defendant is
alleged to have murdered
495
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,820
his own client, Jordan Bryant.
496
00:19:31,096 --> 00:19:33,673
Mr. Bryant had accused
the defendant of stealing
497
00:19:33,698 --> 00:19:34,963
his settlement money.
498
00:19:34,988 --> 00:19:37,821
He filed a complaint with
the State Bar Association,
499
00:19:37,846 --> 00:19:39,376
and he was also
considering filing
500
00:19:39,401 --> 00:19:41,260
civil and criminal complaints.
501
00:19:41,310 --> 00:19:43,979
On the night of the
murder, the defendant went
502
00:19:44,004 --> 00:19:46,155
to Mr. Bryant's restaurant
to confront him.
503
00:19:46,180 --> 00:19:47,750
They got into an argument.
504
00:19:47,790 --> 00:19:50,060
The defendant grabbed
a knife and plunged it
505
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,400
into Mr. Bryant's chest.
506
00:19:51,450 --> 00:19:53,410
What is the defense asking for?
507
00:19:53,450 --> 00:19:54,932
A reasonable cash bail.
508
00:19:54,957 --> 00:19:57,475
My client is not a flight
risk, and he has every reason
509
00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:59,020
to fight this case in court.
510
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:01,590
He is an esteemed member
of the New York State Bar
511
00:20:01,630 --> 00:20:03,720
and a valued member
of the community.
512
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,290
His wife Amanda is prepared
to post $1 million.
513
00:20:08,330 --> 00:20:09,860
Let's set a short trial date.
514
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,876
I don't wanna see him sitting
in Rikers unnecessarily.
515
00:20:11,900 --> 00:20:14,380
Until then, the
defendant is remanded.
516
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:25,130
Eyewitness identifications
are the leading cause
517
00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:26,570
of wrongful convictions.
518
00:20:26,610 --> 00:20:28,750
In fact, 70% of all
DNA exonerations
519
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:31,270
involve eyewitness testimonies.
520
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:32,660
And the numbers are even worse
521
00:20:32,710 --> 00:20:35,100
when you factor in
cross-racial identification.
522
00:20:35,140 --> 00:20:37,100
What were the
circumstances surrounding
523
00:20:37,150 --> 00:20:39,100
the identification in this case?
524
00:20:39,150 --> 00:20:41,370
It was late at night,
the lighting was dim,
525
00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:42,890
and the killer
was wearing a hat,
526
00:20:42,930 --> 00:20:45,150
running away from the witness.
527
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,370
Mr. Price?
528
00:20:46,420 --> 00:20:48,640
The defendant was
known to the witness.
529
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,786
He'd seen him
around the victim's
530
00:20:49,810 --> 00:20:51,120
restaurant several times.
531
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,770
Research has proven
that familiarity
532
00:20:53,810 --> 00:20:57,040
increases the likelihood of
an accurate identification.
533
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,250
On the night of the murder,
Mr. Wu made no indication
534
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:02,260
that he knew or even recognized
my client as the person
535
00:21:02,300 --> 00:21:03,780
that killed Mr. Bryant.
536
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:05,960
That's true, but
there's a difference
537
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,130
between describing
and recognizing.
538
00:21:08,180 --> 00:21:09,400
Your point?
539
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,830
This whole argument
goes to the weight,
540
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,246
not the admissibility,
of the evidence.
541
00:21:13,270 --> 00:21:15,180
The jury can hear the
witness's testimony
542
00:21:15,230 --> 00:21:16,620
and decide for themselves
543
00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:18,620
if his identification
was credible.
544
00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:23,150
I agree with Mr. Price.
545
00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:26,760
The defendant's motion
to suppress is denied.
546
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:31,160
I knew Keith Palmer.
547
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,136
When I was U.S. attorney,
he was a federal defender.
548
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,550
He's a good lawyer.
549
00:21:34,590 --> 00:21:35,916
I heard he was about to
be appointed to the bench.
550
00:21:35,940 --> 00:21:37,510
It's hard to imagine he could...
551
00:21:37,550 --> 00:21:39,120
I know, but the
facts are the facts.
552
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,600
You're confident
in the evidence?
553
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,860
It's not perfect,
but I think we have
554
00:21:43,910 --> 00:21:45,560
enough to get a conviction.
555
00:21:45,610 --> 00:21:47,430
I mean, we have Chris
Wu's identification,
556
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,170
plus the corroborating evidence.
557
00:21:49,220 --> 00:21:51,000
The witness said
he saw the killer
558
00:21:51,050 --> 00:21:52,870
wearing a shiny green jacket
559
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,480
with the letter M on the sleeve.
560
00:21:54,530 --> 00:21:58,100
We never actually found that
jacket or the murder weapon,
561
00:21:58,140 --> 00:22:00,710
but we do have credit
card receipts showing
562
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:02,880
that Mr. Palmer purchased
a jacket matching
563
00:22:02,930 --> 00:22:04,620
that description
five months ago.
564
00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:06,190
What else?
565
00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:08,580
The witness also saw the
killer jump into a black BMW.
566
00:22:08,630 --> 00:22:11,980
Keith Palmer has two BMWs
registered to his business.
567
00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:13,680
One of them is black, and we can
568
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:14,876
place the car near
the crime scene
569
00:22:14,900 --> 00:22:16,160
at the time of the murder.
570
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,810
So what's the motive
for stabbing the guy
571
00:22:18,860 --> 00:22:20,380
he just helped get out of jail?
572
00:22:20,420 --> 00:22:23,160
Palmer was worried
about his reputation,
573
00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:25,300
about his plans for a judgeship.
574
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:28,340
Bryant claimed that Palmer
stole his settlement money.
575
00:22:28,390 --> 00:22:29,610
Did he?
576
00:22:29,650 --> 00:22:31,520
Technically, no,
he didn't steal it,
577
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,050
but he took over half the total
award in contingency fees,
578
00:22:35,090 --> 00:22:37,000
and then he charged
exorbitant amounts
579
00:22:37,050 --> 00:22:39,530
for paralegals,
private investigators,
580
00:22:39,570 --> 00:22:41,010
expert witnesses.
581
00:22:41,050 --> 00:22:43,010
Bryant felt like he'd
been taken advantage of,
582
00:22:43,050 --> 00:22:45,750
and he wanted the
world to know about it.
583
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:49,410
Okay.
584
00:22:49,450 --> 00:22:50,840
Let's bury the bastard.
585
00:22:57,550 --> 00:23:00,380
Mr. Baxter, did Keith
Palmer actually kill the man
586
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:01,680
he helped exonerate?
587
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,770
Your office convicted
an innocent man.
588
00:23:04,810 --> 00:23:08,340
Listen, sending an
innocent man to prison
589
00:23:08,380 --> 00:23:10,860
is anathema to the
criminal justice system
590
00:23:10,910 --> 00:23:12,080
and to the human spirit.
591
00:23:12,130 --> 00:23:15,000
Unfortunately, no
matter how hard we try,
592
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,000
mistakes like this
occur from time to time,
593
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,270
and good people are convicted
of crimes they did not commit.
594
00:23:20,310 --> 00:23:24,100
That's why our post-conviction
review unit is so vital.
595
00:23:24,140 --> 00:23:25,750
In fact, I've just
authorized the hiring
596
00:23:25,790 --> 00:23:27,140
of ten additional lawyers.
597
00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:28,970
I wanna do everything
that I can to make sure
598
00:23:29,010 --> 00:23:31,060
that wrongfully
convicted men and women
599
00:23:31,100 --> 00:23:32,890
are released as
soon as possible.
600
00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:35,630
Now, as for Keith
Palmer, on the one hand,
601
00:23:35,670 --> 00:23:36,890
he's done some good things.
602
00:23:36,930 --> 00:23:38,540
He helped exonerate
several innocent men.
603
00:23:38,590 --> 00:23:41,500
On the other hand, he is
a cold-blooded predator
604
00:23:41,550 --> 00:23:44,640
who exploits the very
people he sets out to free.
605
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,990
And in the case
of Jordan Bryant,
606
00:23:47,030 --> 00:23:50,340
he not only took the
lion's share of his money,
607
00:23:50,380 --> 00:23:52,120
he murdered him.
608
00:23:52,170 --> 00:23:53,730
That's all for now. Thank you.
609
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:56,340
DA Baxter, what evidence do
you have that Keith Palmer...
610
00:23:59,260 --> 00:24:03,830
I was ten years old when they
took my father away from me.
611
00:24:03,870 --> 00:24:07,310
Had to grow up without
really knowing him.
612
00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:11,840
We all knew he was
innocent, but the police,
613
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,710
the prosecutors,
they wronged him.
614
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,890
They wronged our whole family.
615
00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:21,070
Tell the members of
the jury what happened.
616
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:26,850
My dad was arrested for
raping and killing a girl.
617
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:29,070
He told us he didn't do it,
618
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,160
that he'd never seen
that girl before.
619
00:24:31,210 --> 00:24:33,560
But the DA's office
prosecuted him
620
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,120
and sent him to prison for life
621
00:24:35,170 --> 00:24:37,016
because that girl's father
said he saw my father
622
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,870
near the crime scene.
623
00:24:38,910 --> 00:24:43,300
No one thought, wait a minute.
624
00:24:43,350 --> 00:24:45,830
Maybe he's wrong.
625
00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:48,700
Maybe it was someone else.
626
00:24:48,740 --> 00:24:51,530
They just believed him.
627
00:24:51,570 --> 00:24:54,140
DNA ultimately
exonerated your father?
628
00:24:54,190 --> 00:24:55,450
Yes.
629
00:24:55,490 --> 00:24:57,880
After he was released,
did he seek compensation
630
00:24:57,930 --> 00:25:00,370
for this tragic mistake?
- Yes.
631
00:25:00,410 --> 00:25:03,800
His lawyer, the one who
helped him get out of prison,
632
00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:05,330
filed a lawsuit
against the city.
633
00:25:05,370 --> 00:25:06,436
You're referring
to the defendant.
634
00:25:06,460 --> 00:25:08,020
Yes.
635
00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:09,566
Did the defendant negotiate
a settlement with the city?
636
00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:11,290
For $10 million.
637
00:25:11,330 --> 00:25:14,070
I found out my father only
ended up with about 1 million.
638
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:15,900
Palmer stole the rest.
639
00:25:15,950 --> 00:25:18,210
Objection. Hearsay.
640
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:19,430
Sustained.
641
00:25:19,470 --> 00:25:22,260
The jury shall disregard
that last comment.
642
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:23,910
Nothing further.
643
00:25:23,950 --> 00:25:26,300
Thank you, Ms. Walker.
644
00:25:26,350 --> 00:25:28,180
While your father was in prison,
645
00:25:28,220 --> 00:25:30,870
he built quite a
reputation for himself.
646
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920
He was involved in
several altercations.
647
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,050
Objection. Facts
not in evidence.
648
00:25:36,100 --> 00:25:37,620
Ask a question, sir.
649
00:25:37,660 --> 00:25:38,930
Are you aware that your father
650
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:41,800
committed a total
of 11 infractions
651
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,020
while he was in prison?
652
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:44,280
Objection. Relevance?
653
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,956
- What are you trying to do?
- Your Honor...
654
00:25:45,980 --> 00:25:47,150
Who cares what he did?
655
00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:48,670
He was just trying to survive.
656
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,810
May the witness be instructed
to please answer...
657
00:25:50,850 --> 00:25:51,940
Your Honor...
658
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:54,200
My father has been
through enough.
659
00:25:54,250 --> 00:25:56,420
How dare you drag
him through the mud?
660
00:25:56,460 --> 00:25:58,860
Enough, Ms. Walker.
661
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:01,600
I want to see counsel
in chambers, now.
662
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:07,210
This line of questioning is
completely out of bounds.
663
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:10,300
The defense has no legitimate
reason to vilify the victim.
664
00:26:10,350 --> 00:26:13,050
I'm just inquiring about the
12 years he spent in prison.
665
00:26:13,090 --> 00:26:15,140
How is that even
remotely relevant?
666
00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:17,336
He shouldn't have been in that
prison in the first place.
667
00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:18,620
Don't blame us.
668
00:26:18,660 --> 00:26:20,026
You guys are the ones
that put him in there.
669
00:26:20,050 --> 00:26:22,450
Why is any of this
admissible, Mr. Delahunt?
670
00:26:22,490 --> 00:26:24,230
Jordan Bryant made
a lot of enemies
671
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,020
while incarcerated, Your Honor.
672
00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:29,020
Some of them are now free
or have gang affiliations.
673
00:26:29,060 --> 00:26:30,760
You have fights
with other inmates,
674
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,200
threatening guards,
possession of illicit drugs.
675
00:26:38,460 --> 00:26:40,070
I'm going to allow it.
676
00:26:40,120 --> 00:26:42,950
Your Honor, how many times do
we need to destroy this man?
677
00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:45,470
Stand down, Mr. Price.
I've made my ruling.
678
00:26:51,771 --> 00:26:53,230
My name is Adam Paxton.
679
00:26:53,255 --> 00:26:55,530
I'm the warden at
Elmira State Prison.
680
00:26:55,570 --> 00:26:58,620
Did Jordan Bryant, the
victim in this case,
681
00:26:58,660 --> 00:27:00,530
serve time under
your supervision?
682
00:27:00,570 --> 00:27:03,270
Yes, he served 12
years and 3 months.
683
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:04,970
He went in when he was 28.
684
00:27:05,010 --> 00:27:07,710
He was released 2 years ago
when he was 40 years old?
685
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,540
Yes.
686
00:27:09,580 --> 00:27:10,956
Could you describe Mr. Bryant's
time in your prison?
687
00:27:10,980 --> 00:27:13,760
I'd say he made the best of it.
688
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,550
Can you be more specific?
689
00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:17,940
He took cooking classes,
he worked in the kitchen,
690
00:27:17,980 --> 00:27:20,160
and he earned his associate's
degree in business.
691
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,680
That sounds like he remained
optimistic about his future.
692
00:27:23,730 --> 00:27:25,950
Yes, he did as well as
he could for someone
693
00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:27,120
in his predicament.
694
00:27:27,170 --> 00:27:31,000
Jordan remained
upbeat and productive.
695
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,690
Thank you.
696
00:27:32,740 --> 00:27:35,960
Jordan Bryant almost killed
another inmate, didn't he?
697
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,530
Stabbed him with a razor blade
attached to a toothbrush.
698
00:27:39,570 --> 00:27:41,790
He was attacked by
a known gang member.
699
00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:43,920
And this gang member
was serving time
700
00:27:43,970 --> 00:27:46,620
for a triple homicide.
- Yes.
701
00:27:46,660 --> 00:27:49,320
And this gang member has
hundreds of known associates
702
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:50,890
outside the prison gates?
703
00:27:50,930 --> 00:27:52,410
That's my understanding, yes.
704
00:27:52,450 --> 00:27:54,386
So it's entirely possible...
in fact, it's likely that
705
00:27:54,410 --> 00:27:58,330
Mr. Jordan Bryant's death was a
retaliation for that incident.
706
00:27:58,370 --> 00:27:59,980
Objection.
707
00:28:00,020 --> 00:28:02,240
There is no evidence
to support that claim.
708
00:28:02,290 --> 00:28:03,550
Sustained.
709
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,080
Nothing further.
710
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:09,900
Redirect, Mr. Price.
711
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,950
Jordan Bryant didn't initiate
any violence while in prison.
712
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,430
He was simply
protecting himself?
713
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,090
Correct.
714
00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:21,130
The gang member Jordan fought
with is still incarcerated.
715
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:22,570
Yes, he is.
716
00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:25,050
And there's no evidence
that he ever reached out
717
00:28:25,090 --> 00:28:27,570
to another gang member
in order to exact revenge
718
00:28:27,620 --> 00:28:28,710
on Jordan Bryant?
719
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:31,190
There is no evidence of that.
720
00:28:31,230 --> 00:28:33,140
Thank you. Nothing further.
721
00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:34,360
Thank you.
722
00:28:34,410 --> 00:28:37,370
You are dismissed.
723
00:28:37,410 --> 00:28:39,540
The People call Chris Wu.
724
00:28:43,110 --> 00:28:46,550
A few days after the murder,
detectives came to my work
725
00:28:46,590 --> 00:28:49,810
and asked me to
look at some photos.
726
00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:51,510
These are the pictures
they showed you?
727
00:28:51,550 --> 00:28:53,120
Yes.
728
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,080
Did you tell the detectives
that you recognized someone?
729
00:28:57,130 --> 00:28:59,870
Yes, Keith Palmer.
730
00:28:59,910 --> 00:29:02,090
I told them he was the guy I saw
731
00:29:02,130 --> 00:29:04,411
running out of the restaurant
the night Jordan was killed.
732
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,400
Showing you a photograph
from a store catalog.
733
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,010
Is this the jacket
he was wearing?
734
00:29:10,970 --> 00:29:12,360
Yes.
735
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,710
Your Honor, I would offer
a credit card receipt
736
00:29:14,750 --> 00:29:16,620
showing that the
defendant purchased
737
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:18,580
this jacket from
Bergdorf Goodman
738
00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:20,630
approximately five months ago.
739
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,370
I'll allow it.
740
00:29:27,420 --> 00:29:29,590
Finally, did you
see the defendant
741
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,680
flee the scene in this car?
742
00:29:33,990 --> 00:29:36,430
I did.
743
00:29:36,470 --> 00:29:37,950
Thank you.
744
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:39,860
You waited on my
client and his wife
745
00:29:39,910 --> 00:29:42,390
several times before, correct?
746
00:29:42,430 --> 00:29:44,300
Yes, two or three times.
747
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:46,066
And yet, when you first
spoke with the police,
748
00:29:46,090 --> 00:29:48,130
you didn't identify him by name.
749
00:29:48,180 --> 00:29:52,440
You just described his physical
appearance in a general way.
750
00:29:52,490 --> 00:29:53,620
That's correct.
751
00:29:53,660 --> 00:29:56,010
How come?
752
00:29:56,050 --> 00:29:57,790
Well, I...
753
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,140
I didn't immediately
put it all together.
754
00:30:00,190 --> 00:30:02,710
And I didn't know his name.
I just knew him by face.
755
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,500
You knew him by
face, yet you didn't
756
00:30:04,540 --> 00:30:08,330
tell the police that you knew
the man fleeing the scene?
757
00:30:14,030 --> 00:30:17,250
Like I said, I didn't realize
it was him at the time,
758
00:30:17,290 --> 00:30:19,120
and my friend had
just been murdered.
759
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,040
Did you consume any
alcohol that night?
760
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,520
No.
761
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,080
Okay. Did you smoke
any marijuana?
762
00:30:28,700 --> 00:30:30,650
Do I have to answer that?
763
00:30:30,700 --> 00:30:33,700
Well, I
think you just did.
764
00:30:33,740 --> 00:30:35,530
Answer the question.
765
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:43,320
I smoked a little, about an
hour before all this happened.
766
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,190
But I still saw what I saw.
767
00:30:45,230 --> 00:30:48,930
And what you saw was a man
in a shiny green jacket
768
00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,850
and a New York Islanders hat.
769
00:30:51,890 --> 00:30:54,290
Nothing you said was
specific to Keith Palmer.
770
00:30:54,330 --> 00:30:56,640
You didn't mention his
hair or his eye color
771
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,290
or his approximate age.
772
00:30:58,330 --> 00:31:01,680
You just saw a white man
in a shiny green jacket
773
00:31:01,730 --> 00:31:04,730
and a New York Islanders hat.
774
00:31:04,770 --> 00:31:06,250
Yeah, I guess.
775
00:31:07,730 --> 00:31:09,520
Thank you.
776
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:10,870
Nothing further.
777
00:31:14,700 --> 00:31:20,010
Mr. Wu, do you see
in this courtroom
778
00:31:20,050 --> 00:31:23,450
the man who was running from
Jordan Bryant's dead body
779
00:31:23,490 --> 00:31:24,840
on the night of the murder?
780
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,720
Yeah, right there.
781
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,500
Indicating the defendant.
782
00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:37,760
The People rest.
783
00:31:43,990 --> 00:31:47,080
I liked Jordan Bryant, a lot.
784
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,730
I believed in him, and I
tried my best to help him.
785
00:31:50,780 --> 00:31:53,080
And what did you do to help?
786
00:31:53,130 --> 00:31:56,000
Well, for starters, I
got him out of prison.
787
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,000
Then I got him a lot of money.
788
00:31:58,050 --> 00:32:01,140
When he told me he wanted
to open a restaurant,
789
00:32:01,180 --> 00:32:02,270
I gave him advice.
790
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:05,880
I helped him secure
permits, licenses.
791
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,750
Did you ever go to this
restaurant, Mr. Palmer?
792
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,010
I was there all the time.
793
00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:13,280
My wife loved the food.
794
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,850
Jordan used to joke he
was gonna name something
795
00:32:15,890 --> 00:32:19,940
on the menu after us, the
Heart of Palmer salad.
796
00:32:21,940 --> 00:32:26,990
Mr. Palmer, did you
kill Jordan Bryant?
797
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:28,730
- Of course not.
- Okay.
798
00:32:28,770 --> 00:32:31,950
Where were you the
night he was murdered?
799
00:32:31,990 --> 00:32:33,910
I had dinner with a client.
800
00:32:33,950 --> 00:32:35,600
Let me be more specific.
801
00:32:35,650 --> 00:32:41,130
Where were you when the 911
call came in at 11:44 p.m.?
802
00:32:41,180 --> 00:32:43,390
I was driving to
our country house.
803
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,790
And can you prove that?
804
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:46,790
As a matter of fact, I can.
805
00:32:48,790 --> 00:32:50,750
- Is that you?
- Yes.
806
00:32:50,790 --> 00:32:52,930
That was taken by
a traffic camera.
807
00:32:52,970 --> 00:32:55,760
Apparently I had run a
red light on the corner
808
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,980
of 42nd and 8th at 11:47 p.m.
809
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:02,110
- And is that the ticket?
- Yes.
810
00:33:02,150 --> 00:33:05,290
It shows I was six blocks
away from the murder scene
811
00:33:05,330 --> 00:33:07,680
at the time the
911 call came in.
812
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,380
Your Honor, we had
no notice of this.
813
00:33:09,420 --> 00:33:10,940
This just happened.
814
00:33:10,990 --> 00:33:14,300
Mr. Palmer had no idea he'd
been photographed or cited.
815
00:33:14,340 --> 00:33:18,300
Ticket came into his office
by mail just yesterday.
816
00:33:18,340 --> 00:33:21,220
Please, have a look
at the postage stamp.
817
00:33:25,310 --> 00:33:28,000
I'll allow it.
818
00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:30,750
So, Mr. Palmer, there's
no way you could have
819
00:33:30,790 --> 00:33:32,750
committed this murder?
820
00:33:32,790 --> 00:33:34,530
Absolutely.
821
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:39,540
Like I said, I was six
blocks away, in my car.
822
00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:41,840
Thank you.
823
00:33:41,890 --> 00:33:44,020
Nothing further.
824
00:33:44,060 --> 00:33:46,370
Okay, let's break for the day.
825
00:33:46,410 --> 00:33:48,850
Members of the jury,
we will reconvene
826
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:50,940
tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
827
00:33:58,631 --> 00:33:59,205
Hey.
828
00:33:59,373 --> 00:34:01,412
I checked with the
Department of Transportation.
829
00:34:01,437 --> 00:34:04,480
Their records
confirm Palmer's story?
830
00:34:04,530 --> 00:34:08,620
Palmer ran the red light on
42nd and 8th at 11:47 p.m.
831
00:34:08,660 --> 00:34:10,790
We know the 911 call
from the restaurant
832
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,230
came in three minutes earlier.
833
00:34:12,270 --> 00:34:13,670
Did Riley and Shaw
do a test drive,
834
00:34:13,710 --> 00:34:15,320
see if it's possible
to get from point A
835
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,150
to point B in three minutes?
836
00:34:17,190 --> 00:34:19,320
Mm-hmm. And they
drove it four times.
837
00:34:19,370 --> 00:34:22,370
Took anywhere between
2 minutes 45 seconds
838
00:34:22,410 --> 00:34:24,370
and 9 minutes,
depending on traffic.
839
00:34:24,420 --> 00:34:26,240
They drive at 11:47 p.m.?
840
00:34:26,290 --> 00:34:29,200
Mm-hmm. Took 3 minutes
and 35 seconds.
841
00:34:29,250 --> 00:34:32,160
So it's possible.
842
00:34:34,470 --> 00:34:35,730
Sort of.
843
00:34:42,740 --> 00:34:44,220
You were standing here?
844
00:34:44,260 --> 00:34:45,960
Yeah, more or less.
845
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,830
What about the lighting?
846
00:34:47,870 --> 00:34:49,310
It was darker, probably.
847
00:34:49,350 --> 00:34:50,440
It was late at night.
848
00:34:50,490 --> 00:34:52,440
All right, where was the killer
849
00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:54,490
when you first laid eyes on him?
850
00:34:54,530 --> 00:34:58,410
Over there, about 10
feet from the door.
851
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:02,410
And you were high?
852
00:35:02,450 --> 00:35:04,240
No, I wasn't like high, high.
853
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,760
Maybe just a little buzzed.
854
00:35:06,810 --> 00:35:07,810
You know?
855
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:16,030
Oh, God, I need to know
how certain you really are
856
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,730
about this ID.
857
00:35:19,380 --> 00:35:21,560
What do you mean, like
on a scale of 1 to 10?
858
00:35:23,870 --> 00:35:26,260
Yeah, sure... on a
scale of 1 to 10,
859
00:35:26,300 --> 00:35:28,610
10 being the most certain.
860
00:35:33,700 --> 00:35:35,620
10 being
the most certain...
861
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,970
I am worried
about our case.
862
00:35:45,020 --> 00:35:46,930
In what regard?
863
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:49,280
I'm not sure we're
trying the right person.
864
00:35:49,330 --> 00:35:50,980
Excuse me?
865
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:54,590
I'm beginning to think that
Keith Palmer might be innocent.
866
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,860
Innocent?
867
00:35:56,900 --> 00:35:58,160
What are you talking about?
868
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,290
It's been gnawing at me
869
00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:03,730
for the past few days, and I...
870
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:06,210
I can't point to one
thing in particular.
871
00:36:08,650 --> 00:36:10,130
It just doesn't seem to add up.
872
00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:12,220
- You mean the evidence?
- Yes.
873
00:36:12,260 --> 00:36:13,520
There's nothing glaring.
874
00:36:13,570 --> 00:36:15,530
There's no smoking
gun, so to speak.
875
00:36:15,570 --> 00:36:20,580
But it's more like,
everything we have is gray.
876
00:36:20,620 --> 00:36:24,800
It could go either way, and
you start wondering if...
877
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,190
I get it.
878
00:36:27,230 --> 00:36:30,110
- You do?
- Mm-hmm.
879
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:32,370
Having said that,
880
00:36:32,410 --> 00:36:34,500
I've been following this
case pretty closely.
881
00:36:36,550 --> 00:36:40,510
I don't necessarily
agree with your analysis.
882
00:36:40,550 --> 00:36:43,770
I understand it's
a complicated case,
883
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:45,510
for all of us.
884
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,950
I mean, we wouldn't be here
if it weren't for the fact
885
00:36:48,990 --> 00:36:50,650
that we screwed up.
886
00:36:50,690 --> 00:36:53,520
We're the ones that set this
horrible tragedy in motion.
887
00:36:59,220 --> 00:37:01,920
Maybe that's affecting
your mindset,
888
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,360
the possibility of
history repeating itself?
889
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,466
I'm sure it is, but it...
890
00:37:05,490 --> 00:37:08,060
We're not gods, Nolan.
891
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:11,580
We don't have some sort of
magic window into the truth,
892
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:13,980
into what actually transpired.
893
00:37:16,020 --> 00:37:17,720
It is an imperfect process.
894
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,200
It really is.
895
00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,510
But it's also the
best one there is,
896
00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:24,770
and we have to trust it.
897
00:37:34,740 --> 00:37:39,260
Look, you are a lot
closer to this than I am.
898
00:37:39,310 --> 00:37:43,750
So all I can say to you is
do what you think is right.
899
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:01,760
Why are we here, Nolan?
900
00:38:01,810 --> 00:38:04,370
I wanted to tell you in person.
901
00:38:04,420 --> 00:38:06,460
I'm going to be filing
a motion to dismiss
902
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:08,330
as soon as I get
back to the office.
903
00:38:08,380 --> 00:38:10,470
You're dismissing the case?
904
00:38:10,510 --> 00:38:13,040
- Correct.
- So you finally believe me?
905
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:14,730
You realize I'm innocent?
906
00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:18,740
We no longer think you
killed Jordan Bryant.
907
00:38:20,390 --> 00:38:24,790
Well, does that mean
you know who did?
908
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:31,790
It means we're
dismissing the case.
909
00:38:52,900 --> 00:38:55,030
Detective Shaw?
910
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,600
I just notified Palmer that
we're dismissing his case,
911
00:38:57,650 --> 00:39:00,600
but something occurred to me.
912
00:39:05,570 --> 00:39:07,740
Good ol' Nolan Price.
913
00:39:07,790 --> 00:39:09,400
His plan worked like a charm.
914
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,000
Got the confession
right here on tape.
915
00:39:13,050 --> 00:39:14,140
Grab your gun, partner.
916
00:39:14,180 --> 00:39:15,580
Where are we going?
917
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:17,490
To arrest Jordan
Bryant's real killer.
918
00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:23,450
Earlier today, this
office dismissed
919
00:39:23,500 --> 00:39:26,110
the murder charge
against Keith Palmer.
920
00:39:26,150 --> 00:39:29,020
I think it's important to
point out that prosecutors play
921
00:39:29,070 --> 00:39:31,330
a critical role in
protecting the innocent
922
00:39:31,370 --> 00:39:33,420
from wrongful conviction.
923
00:39:33,460 --> 00:39:36,380
We are, I suppose,
their final defense.
924
00:39:36,420 --> 00:39:38,470
If all else fails,
we are the ones
925
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:43,040
who must stand tall and admit
that a mistake has been made.
926
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:47,000
I commend prosecutors Price
and Maroun for their integrity
927
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,870
and for their dedication
to seeking the truth
928
00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:52,530
irrespective of
the consequences.
929
00:39:54,270 --> 00:39:56,400
It is now evident
that this was a case
930
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,920
of mistaken identity.
931
00:39:58,970 --> 00:40:01,530
To put it simply, our eyewitness
932
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,800
identified the wrong person.
933
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,280
The good news is, we
found additional evidence,
934
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,720
and we now believe that the
killer is Mr. Palmer's wife.
935
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,030
We have a recording
of a phone call
936
00:40:14,070 --> 00:40:16,720
between Mr. and Mrs.
Palmer where she confessed
937
00:40:16,770 --> 00:40:18,420
to killing Jordan Bryant.
938
00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:20,380
Amanda Palmer.
939
00:40:20,420 --> 00:40:23,250
You're under arrest.
940
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:26,300
She was trying to protect
her husband's misdeeds
941
00:40:26,340 --> 00:40:28,740
from becoming public,
942
00:40:28,780 --> 00:40:31,390
but Amanda Palmer
has been apprehended
943
00:40:31,430 --> 00:40:33,570
by the detectives of the NYPD.
944
00:40:33,610 --> 00:40:36,870
We have charged her with
second-degree murder.
945
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,880
And I assure you,
justice will be served.
