3
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:22,610
Be a hitter,Ben.
4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,740
Come on,Sam.
5
00:00:44,470 --> 00:00:45,410
Safe!
6
00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:55,680
Loser.
7
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:57,350
You're a loser,Sam.
8
00:00:57,550 --> 00:00:58,690
Shut up.
9
00:00:58,730 --> 00:00:59,680
You suck.
10
00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:01,940
You play like a girl.
11
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,300
Shut up,Ben.
12
00:01:17,150 --> 00:01:19,330
Strike him out,Ben.
13
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,380
Come on,Sammy,let's go.
14
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,710
Hey.
15
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:24,580
Eyes in.
Here we go.
16
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,210
Strike one.
17
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:34,410
Come on,Sammy,
use your head,son.
18
00:01:35,310 --> 00:01:36,550
Come on,Sam.
19
00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:37,930
Attaboy,come on now.
20
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:47,540
Come on,
I'm filming you.
21
00:01:49,570 --> 00:01:51,040
Come on,Sammy,
get your shoulders back.
22
00:01:51,110 --> 00:01:52,570
come on,like
I taught you now.
23
00:02:14,570 --> 00:02:16,810
you are out
24
00:03:06,610 --> 00:03:08,690
Call 911!
25
00:03:08,870 --> 00:03:10,580
Get out of the way.
Back up.
26
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,990
This is un-freaking-believable.
27
00:03:13,030 --> 00:03:13,670
What?
28
00:03:13,730 --> 00:03:15,520
Some kid at a youth league baseball game
29
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,880
just bashed another boy's head
in with a baseball bat.
30
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:18,980
Oh,my God.
31
00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:20,770
He walked right up,
he swung full on and hit
32
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,470
the other team's
pitcher in the head.
33
00:03:22,490 --> 00:03:23,620
No helmet,nothing.
34
00:03:23,660 --> 00:03:24,810
How old are they?
35
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,440
13,14- they're just kids.
36
00:03:26,450 --> 00:03:27,630
Those poor parents.
37
00:03:27,650 --> 00:03:29,340
It's just ridiculous.
38
00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:30,820
It's unbelievable.
39
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,800
Sports has turned into a bunch
of chest-bumping,
40
00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:36,080
high-fiving,trash-talking
idiots.
41
00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:37,240
And this is
the result.
42
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,760
Some kid can't stand losing,
43
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:41,270
so he grabs a bat
and bashes the winner's head in.
44
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:43,810
So,how do we handle this?
45
00:03:43,870 --> 00:03:45,740
As far as I'm concerned,
we can charge him with murder.
46
00:03:45,810 --> 00:03:47,770
Steve,he's just 14.
47
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,210
That's old enough
to know better.
48
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:50,870
You swing a bat
at somebody's head,
49
00:03:50,940 --> 00:03:53,140
you are not intending
to scare them.
50
00:03:53,210 --> 00:03:54,410
Are there any other details?
51
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,060
Is it gang-related,
robbery attempt?
52
00:03:57,110 --> 00:03:59,030
This is a youth league
baseball game,
53
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:00,980
with a bunch of parents
sipping wine coolers.
54
00:04:01,010 --> 00:04:03,290
I don't think there were
many gang members there.
55
00:04:11,580 --> 00:04:13,170
Bat boy's waiting
in the box with his folks.
56
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,570
They've waived
the right to counsel.
57
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,310
They want to cooperate.
58
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:24,890
Well,that's our
vicious killer.
59
00:04:24,980 --> 00:04:26,400
Yes,ma'am.
60
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:28,640
All 100 pounds of him.
61
00:04:32,050 --> 00:04:33,330
I'm Police Detective Williams.
62
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,240
This is Annabeth Chase.
She's from the DA's office.
63
00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:38,660
She's here to determine what
charges to file against your son.
64
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:40,660
I'm Frank Beringer.
I'm Sammy's dad.
65
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:42,910
This is,uh,this is Kerry,my ex-wife.
66
00:04:42,950 --> 00:04:44,570
We both feel terrible
about this.
67
00:04:44,590 --> 00:04:46,440
I know Sammy does,too.
68
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,910
Why don't you tell her
what happened,Sammy.
69
00:04:50,130 --> 00:04:51,780
Sam?
70
00:04:52,500 --> 00:04:54,410
I just lost it.
71
00:04:54,470 --> 00:04:57,200
You know how kids are.
You know,he...
72
00:04:57,230 --> 00:04:59,040
he saw red
for a second.
73
00:04:59,070 --> 00:05:02,630
He just lost his temper
in the heat of the moment.
74
00:05:03,530 --> 00:05:05,240
Right,Sam?
75
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,060
It was after the game.
76
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,930
Everything was over.
77
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,790
I was really,really mad.
78
00:05:16,820 --> 00:05:20,050
I had the bat in my hands and...
79
00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:23,270
I... I walked over to Ben.
80
00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:25,500
I swung at him.
81
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:28,440
His team won and your team lost?
82
00:05:28,510 --> 00:05:29,910
Mm-hmm.
83
00:05:29,970 --> 00:05:33,490
Were you upset about that?
84
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:35,730
I don't know.
85
00:05:35,770 --> 00:05:38,120
Is there anything else
you were mad about?
86
00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:39,620
I don't know.
87
00:05:41,290 --> 00:05:42,880
Did this boy...?
88
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,120
Ben.
89
00:05:44,210 --> 00:05:45,530
Ben Brown.
90
00:05:45,570 --> 00:05:48,690
We've known Ben and his mom
since the boys started T-ball.
91
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,820
Did Ben say anything
92
00:05:50,850 --> 00:05:53,750
or do anything to make
you mad today?
93
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:56,150
Was he harassing you?
94
00:05:57,010 --> 00:05:58,790
Hey,Ben's a competitor,you know?
95
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:01,100
They're both competitive.
96
00:06:01,130 --> 00:06:02,470
That's no excuse
for what happened,
97
00:06:02,490 --> 00:06:05,650
but that...
that's just the way it is.
98
00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:07,600
It's my fault.
Ben didn't do anything wrong.
99
00:06:07,630 --> 00:06:09,520
Look,Ms. Chase,
100
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:12,320
we take full responsibility
for what happened.
101
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:14,440
Now,you do...you do
whatever you have to do,
102
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:17,700
but I want you to know that this kid is
going to get punished on our end.
103
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,380
That's right.
104
00:06:18,410 --> 00:06:20,640
We understand that there'll
be penalties to pay.
105
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:22,040
Community service,
106
00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:25,170
a fine of some kind,
probation or...
107
00:06:25,210 --> 00:06:26,680
What is it?
108
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:28,510
What's wrong?
109
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,460
I don't think you understand.
110
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,660
Ben died on the way
to the hospital.
111
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,000
This is a murder case.
112
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,380
Oh,my God.
113
00:06:39,670 --> 00:06:40,710
No,no,no...
114
00:06:51,060 --> 00:06:53,420
xxx
115
00:06:53,450 --> 00:06:56,910
on the hyper-competitive culture
which surronds youth sports,
116
00:06:56,930 --> 00:07:00,600
a 14-year-old Indianapolis boy
was arrested today
117
00:07:00,630 --> 00:07:03,380
for killing another boy
on the baseball field.
118
00:07:03,410 --> 00:07:05,220
According to coaches
of both boys,
119
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:07,810
they've been playing since
they were seven years old.
120
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,030
They're going to run this
story right into the ground.
121
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:11,250
Can you blame them?
122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,260
We should get a statement ready.
123
00:07:13,290 --> 00:07:13,900
I'll get into it.
124
00:07:13,940 --> 00:07:15,580
...and we are awaiting
a press conference.
125
00:07:15,610 --> 00:07:18,030
We'll bring that to you
as soon as we can.
126
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,050
Hey,Maureen,
can I talk to you?
127
00:07:20,090 --> 00:07:20,900
Yes,Ian.
128
00:07:20,930 --> 00:07:24,030
I,uh,I just... Your...
129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,630
I don't know how to say this.
130
00:07:26,670 --> 00:07:28,760
Try using words.
131
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:31,890
Your sister's been arrested.
132
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:33,710
Which sister? For what?
133
00:07:33,750 --> 00:07:34,310
I don't know.
134
00:07:34,350 --> 00:07:35,770
Rob Burke just called
from the precinct.
135
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,100
He said something
about shoplifting.
136
00:07:38,850 --> 00:07:42,160
Get someone to cover
my arraignments this afternoon.
137
00:07:43,940 --> 00:07:45,670
Danny,
138
00:07:45,740 --> 00:07:48,010
don't say anything
to anybody.
139
00:07:48,070 --> 00:07:50,070
About what?
140
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:57,320
I'm so sorry about your son,
Mrs. Moran.
141
00:07:57,530 --> 00:08:01,360
Have the boys been
fighting,Sammy and Ben?
142
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,520
No.
143
00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:06,770
They were friends.
144
00:08:07,470 --> 00:08:11,290
I mean,look at them together.
145
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,100
They're friends.
146
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,670
Our families are close.
147
00:08:16,060 --> 00:08:19,370
I mean,that's what
makes this so...
148
00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:25,930
Witnesses say there was a lot of
trash-talking during the game.
149
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,730
That's just what
boys their age do.
150
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,120
They tease each other
mercilessly,
151
00:08:31,150 --> 00:08:33,340
give each other a hard time.
152
00:08:33,370 --> 00:08:35,980
That's how they communicate.
153
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,320
They do it at all the games.
154
00:08:39,370 --> 00:08:42,130
I don't understand
why it happened.
155
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,210
I am so sorry.
156
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:46,530
Sam's mother called me.
157
00:08:47,250 --> 00:08:51,430
And she asked me if she could
come to Ben's funeral.
158
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,830
I didn't know what to say.
159
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:56,450
I mean,
160
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,700
what would you say?
161
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,290
I never imagined
my little boy's funeral.
162
00:09:03,340 --> 00:09:05,120
I imagined
his wedding day,
163
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,390
his graduation day.
164
00:09:09,150 --> 00:09:11,430
But not in his grave.
165
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:15,530
Not standing over his grave.
166
00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:34,950
What has gotten
into you?
167
00:09:34,970 --> 00:09:37,140
I was going to pay for
everything,I swear to God.
168
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:39,190
Why didn't you stop
when the sensor went off?
169
00:09:39,230 --> 00:09:40,980
Those things go off
all the time.
170
00:09:41,020 --> 00:09:42,210
Yes.
171
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,360
I tried to explain it
at the store.
172
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,860
Please,I just
want to go home.
173
00:09:45,930 --> 00:09:48,760
We are way past this
being a misunderstanding.
174
00:09:48,790 --> 00:09:51,020
I accidentally walked out
with a couple of things.
175
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:52,380
It's not a big deal.
176
00:09:52,420 --> 00:09:54,770
A scarf,earrings,
a silk blouse?
177
00:09:54,810 --> 00:09:56,370
It's a big deal to the store.
178
00:09:56,410 --> 00:09:57,850
They're lucky I don't sue them.
179
00:09:57,890 --> 00:09:58,880
That guard hurt my arm.
180
00:09:58,930 --> 00:10:00,310
They have witnesses.
181
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:02,620
So,what,you don't believe me
either?
182
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:05,380
Great. Whatever.
183
00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:07,460
Can you just fix this?
184
00:10:07,700 --> 00:10:10,220
Talk to someone so I can
leave,please?
185
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:12,090
You can give me
a lecture later.
186
00:10:12,210 --> 00:10:14,300
No,I can't.
187
00:10:14,330 --> 00:10:17,100
God,Maureen,you are like
some big fancy prosecutor,
188
00:10:17,140 --> 00:10:18,230
and I am your sister.
189
00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:19,530
Can't you do me one favor?
190
00:10:19,570 --> 00:10:20,440
Is that the only reason
you called me
191
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,880
'cause you thought I could
somehow get you out of this?
192
00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:25,440
The store is insisting
on pressing charges.
193
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,770
Forget it.
194
00:10:27,530 --> 00:10:29,000
How big of a fine will it be?
195
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,130
Can I pay it today.
196
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,830
It may not just be a fine.
197
00:10:32,860 --> 00:10:34,770
But,ultimately,
it's up to the judge.
198
00:10:34,810 --> 00:10:35,940
Can you at least
handle everything?
199
00:10:35,980 --> 00:10:38,060
I don't want Roger
to find out about this.
200
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:40,510
It's a matter of public record.
He's going to hear about it.
201
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:41,920
You're going to
need an attorney.
202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,910
There'll be an arraignment,a hearing.
203
00:10:43,950 --> 00:10:47,600
Oh,God. A trial?
204
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,560
God!
205
00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:51,950
Am I going to jail?
206
00:10:51,980 --> 00:10:53,040
That isn't likely.
207
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,160
It's your first offense.
208
00:11:02,030 --> 00:11:05,000
Everything's going
to be okay.
209
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,210
I just need to know
what's going on with you.
210
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,530
Why are you stealing
things,Cassidy?
211
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:11,160
I'm fine.
212
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,660
I just made
a stupid mistake,that's all.
213
00:11:14,860 --> 00:11:18,980
You can't help me with it.
Got it.
214
00:11:20,530 --> 00:11:22,080
The victim's mother
is grieving.
215
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:23,880
I don't think we can put her
through a trial.
216
00:11:23,910 --> 00:11:25,950
I'd like to try
to plead this out.
217
00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:28,400
The prosecutor in me says
he'll get to the jury.
218
00:11:28,450 --> 00:11:30,540
If you want to charge him
as a juvenile,fine,
219
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,000
but I want voluntary
manslaughter,12 to 20 years.
220
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:34,910
Steve,the kid
is not a monster.
221
00:11:34,950 --> 00:11:36,700
I think we should go for
assault with deadly weapon.
222
00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:37,480
That's four years.
223
00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:39,130
What if this were
your child?
224
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,610
What if this child only picked
up a glove and played baseball?
225
00:11:42,700 --> 00:11:44,310
I raised two boys-
both can play ball-
226
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040
and I got to tell you,if someone
did that to one of my kids,
227
00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:50,920
four years in a juvenile detention
facility wouldn't nearly be enough.
228
00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:53,610
All right,you want 12,
I want four.
229
00:11:53,660 --> 00:11:55,010
Let's meet in the middle.
230
00:11:55,230 --> 00:11:56,860
I can live with that.
231
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:22,230
Involuntary manslaughter?
232
00:12:22,250 --> 00:12:23,530
What does that mean?
233
00:12:23,550 --> 00:12:25,970
It means your son meant
to hit Ben with the bat,
234
00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:27,370
but he didn't intend
to kill him.
235
00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:32,100
Look,we all agree he needs to
be punished,but eight years...
236
00:12:32,140 --> 00:12:34,460
With all due respect,
we're not talking about
237
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:36,130
a small child
who picked up a gun
238
00:12:36,170 --> 00:12:37,950
and didn't know how it worked.
239
00:12:37,970 --> 00:12:39,410
We're talking about a young man
240
00:12:39,450 --> 00:12:40,760
who picked up
a baseball bat
241
00:12:40,790 --> 00:12:42,500
and killed someone with it.
242
00:12:42,530 --> 00:12:44,170
Ms. Chase,
would you mind
243
00:12:44,230 --> 00:12:46,250
if we discussed this plea offer
in private?
244
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,160
You know what,Counselor,
there's nothing to discuss,
245
00:12:48,190 --> 00:12:49,790
because we're going
to pass on this offer.
246
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,920
You don't want to do that.
You really don't.
247
00:12:51,940 --> 00:12:56,120
He's a kid.And this was an accident-
a horrible,tragic accident.
248
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,610
A boy is dead,Mr. Beringer.
249
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,130
You think
we don't know that?
250
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,800
You think we won't live
with this every day?
251
00:13:01,830 --> 00:13:04,460
Look,we'll pay restitution,
we'll do what we can,
252
00:13:04,490 --> 00:13:07,310
but I will not let you
lock him up and send him to prison.
253
00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:09,070
- Dad,it's okay.
- No,it's not okay!
254
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:10,430
If you reject this plea offer,
255
00:13:10,460 --> 00:13:12,550
you're going to force my office
to try your son as an adult.
256
00:13:12,570 --> 00:13:13,760
He made one mistake...
257
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,950
And a boy died because of it.
258
00:13:17,050 --> 00:13:20,110
Ms. Chase,look...
259
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:22,430
What could I do?
260
00:13:22,460 --> 00:13:24,990
We both gave them the facts.
It's their decision.
261
00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:26,130
Here's a fact.
262
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:28,460
If your clients force me
to try their son as an adult,
263
00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:30,070
I'll convict him
of second degree murder,
264
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:32,030
and he'll spend the next
20 years behind bars.
265
00:13:32,050 --> 00:13:32,670
Maybe.
266
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:33,710
What do you mean maybe?
267
00:13:33,740 --> 00:13:35,180
I have a stadium full
of witnesses.
268
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,650
Don't dismiss me,
Annabeth.
269
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:37,960
I'm good at this.
270
00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:40,740
And all I need is one juror
to look past the facts
271
00:13:40,770 --> 00:13:43,390
and see a young boy that belongs
in a classroom
272
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:45,270
and not a five-by-nine cell.
273
00:13:45,310 --> 00:13:47,520
xxx
274
00:13:56,370 --> 00:13:58,110
Judy...
275
00:13:58,810 --> 00:14:01,070
I thought our plea
bargain offer was fair,
276
00:14:01,110 --> 00:14:04,540
but they're willing to take
their chances at trial.
277
00:14:05,410 --> 00:14:08,280
This is outrageous.
What are his parents thinking?
278
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:11,780
They're willing to drag my family
through a long,drawn-out trial?
279
00:14:11,820 --> 00:14:14,150
I know how hard this must be.
280
00:14:16,780 --> 00:14:20,860
I want to be forgiving...
I really do...
281
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,380
I pray for the strength
to forgive.
282
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:27,830
What exactly is
this kid's defense?
283
00:14:27,930 --> 00:14:30,700
Bottom line- we need to be
ready for everything.
284
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,470
I'm sure they'll say
he was provoked.
285
00:14:32,510 --> 00:14:34,440
Maybe even swung
in self-defense.
286
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:35,540
Nice. Blame the victim.
287
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:36,860
What else are they
going to do?
288
00:14:36,900 --> 00:14:38,170
What story are you going
to tell the jury?
289
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,670
There's only one
story to tell.
290
00:14:39,710 --> 00:14:43,230
An angry kid who lashed out and killed
in front of dozens of witnesses.
291
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:46,640
By all accounts,Sammy swung the bat
right at the victim's head.
292
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,680
Actually,there are a couple of
conflicting statements about that.
293
00:14:48,710 --> 00:14:50,540
Different people saw
the same event differently.
294
00:14:50,570 --> 00:14:51,740
They always do.
295
00:14:51,770 --> 00:14:54,040
And a lot of the
team parents like Sammy's mom,
296
00:14:54,070 --> 00:14:56,150
so they're not too keen
on testifying against him.
297
00:14:56,180 --> 00:14:59,000
There has to be umpteen parents
videotaping that game.
298
00:14:59,030 --> 00:15:02,090
We videotape every waking
minute of my daughter's life.
299
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,280
Let's get all the team parents
together at the baseball field.
300
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:06,940
Subpoena their
camcorders
301
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,510
and show the jury
exactly what happened.
302
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,500
Talked to a friend
of mine at the firm,
303
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,690
and he thinks Cass
just might get a warning
304
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,800
if we can get this in front
of the right judge.
305
00:15:45,830 --> 00:15:47,890
It's what happened
to his niece.
306
00:15:48,850 --> 00:15:51,150
- Someone at the firm?
- Yeah.
307
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,250
Does he have
all the facts?
308
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:56,480
Did you tell him it was your
wife at a designer boutique,
309
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:59,690
not a teenager on a dare
at the mini-mart?
310
00:16:03,180 --> 00:16:04,950
Roger,I talked
to the arresting officer
311
00:16:04,950 --> 00:16:07,340
and tried to get
the charges reduced.
312
00:16:07,380 --> 00:16:10,920
Cassandra had over $2,000
worth of merchandise,
313
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:13,060
and it was not on impulse.
314
00:16:13,110 --> 00:16:15,770
She moved from department
to department.
315
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:17,620
It's all on video.
316
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:21,900
She has a problem.
317
00:16:22,610 --> 00:16:27,350
You have no idea
what your sister's problems are.
318
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,410
The last thing she needs
right now is a criminal record.
319
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,380
I have seen this
a thousand times.
320
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:37,150
And stealing is just a symptom
of a much bigger problem.
321
00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:38,990
And the problem...
322
00:16:39,010 --> 00:16:41,660
is not just Cassie's.
323
00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:46,010
You need to pay
attention to her.
324
00:16:46,030 --> 00:16:47,940
I can't believe you're turning
this back on me.
325
00:16:47,970 --> 00:16:49,300
I know my sister.
326
00:16:49,330 --> 00:16:50,530
Really?
327
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,880
Did you know that she lost
a baby last month?
328
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,230
Maureen?
329
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,990
Did you know that
she had a miscarriage?
330
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:07,940
Did you even know she was
pregnant in the first place?
331
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:14,290
If you don't want to help
out your own family,fine-
332
00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:15,760
that's your choice-
333
00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:17,630
but don't tell me to pay
attention to my wife
334
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:21,060
because I am the only one
who pays attention.
335
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,140
I don't know if Cassie had a
chance to tell you this before,
336
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:31,520
how proud we both are
about your new promotion.
337
00:17:36,510 --> 00:17:38,330
I was packing up
the batting helmets
338
00:17:38,370 --> 00:17:40,960
when I saw Sammy stomp by,
holding a bat.
339
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,730
I told him I'd take it
'cause I was packing the stuff,
340
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,300
but he just kept going.
341
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:47,510
And I could tell
he was mad- real mad.
342
00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:50,140
He walked right over to Ben
and just hit him in the head.
343
00:17:50,170 --> 00:17:51,890
I mean,just,boom,right there.
344
00:17:51,930 --> 00:17:53,440
Didn't say a word.
345
00:17:53,490 --> 00:17:56,190
I'll need your permission
for Joshua to testify in court.
346
00:17:56,220 --> 00:17:57,400
Of course.
347
00:17:57,430 --> 00:18:00,060
We were so proud when
Josh made this team.
348
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,820
Coach Whiting
is a legend.
349
00:18:01,850 --> 00:18:04,040
I mean,he's like
a father to these kids.
350
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,420
And Sammy is one of
his favorite ones.
351
00:18:07,570 --> 00:18:10,010
I just never
saw this coming.
352
00:18:10,170 --> 00:18:12,140
Where were you
during the attack?
353
00:18:12,180 --> 00:18:13,820
I was right here.
354
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080
I was going over scheduling
changes with my assistant coaches.
355
00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:19,730
I was going to add a batting
practice before the next playoff game.
356
00:18:19,970 --> 00:18:22,020
Did you see Sammy hit Ben?
357
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,930
Do you know why
he went after Ben?
358
00:18:23,970 --> 00:18:25,270
No idea.
359
00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:27,150
It was the playoffs.
360
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:29,040
It was a best of five series,
361
00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:30,680
and we just lost
two games in a row.
362
00:18:30,710 --> 00:18:31,910
One more and we were out.
363
00:18:31,950 --> 00:18:33,600
Sammy hates losing.
364
00:18:34,010 --> 00:18:36,310
I teach these boys
to give everything
365
00:18:36,330 --> 00:18:37,340
they got to this game.
366
00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:39,280
They play their hearts out.
367
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:41,420
It's tough not to win.
368
00:18:41,530 --> 00:18:42,850
You tape these games,right?
369
00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:45,650
Yeah. All coaches do.
It's a good learning tool.
370
00:18:45,670 --> 00:18:48,890
I'd like to see tapes
from both teams if I could.
371
00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:51,100
Yeah,okay.
372
00:18:53,170 --> 00:18:56,540
These are the tapes we received
from the team parents.
373
00:18:56,950 --> 00:18:59,480
Okay,the beating/killing
is over at 2:58.
374
00:18:59,530 --> 00:19:00,850
Now check
this out.
375
00:19:00,890 --> 00:19:02,790
This was recorded
one minute earlier.
376
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:04,010
Just after Sammy struck out
377
00:19:04,050 --> 00:19:05,970
and his team
lost the game.
378
00:19:10,670 --> 00:19:11,730
Be patient.
379
00:19:11,750 --> 00:19:13,500
The payoff's coming.
380
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,120
Okay,right there.
381
00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:31,030
Coach tosses the murder weapon
at the defendant at 2:57,
382
00:19:31,050 --> 00:19:33,030
the murder's over at 2:58.
383
00:19:33,070 --> 00:19:34,680
What did he say?
384
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:36,690
I mean,this is great,
but I can't use it in court
385
00:19:36,730 --> 00:19:38,320
unless I know exactly
what he says.
386
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:42,300
You don't need sound to know
he's not saying,"Nice game,son. "
387
00:19:48,290 --> 00:19:50,040
xx
388
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:52,370
Yes. a kid who took that bat
and killed somebody... Yes.
389
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,440
and now,instead of moving
forward with the trial,
390
00:19:54,460 --> 00:19:56,070
you want
to investigate his coach.
391
00:19:56,090 --> 00:19:58,860
We're going to trial,Steve-
this kid will be punished.
392
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,240
I'm just saying something or
someone pushed him over the edge.
393
00:20:01,270 --> 00:20:02,850
Yeah. It's called
competition.
394
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:04,720
It may look like a game to you,
but it's not to them.
395
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:05,940
Look,I saw the tape.
396
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,340
That coach was right
in Sammy's face.
397
00:20:07,370 --> 00:20:09,000
It looks to me like
he was incited.
398
00:20:09,030 --> 00:20:11,920
- What were his exact words?
I- I don't know.
399
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240
We don't have audio yet.
400
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:16,480
I'm working on it.
401
00:20:16,590 --> 00:20:19,030
He's a coach,Annabeth.
402
00:20:19,330 --> 00:20:20,370
He gets in your face.
403
00:20:20,410 --> 00:20:21,540
That's the job.
404
00:20:21,570 --> 00:20:23,770
He demands more,
and you rise to the challenge.
405
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,040
Sammy was pushed.
406
00:20:25,070 --> 00:20:26,340
You don't think that matters?
407
00:20:26,380 --> 00:20:29,020
Sure. And his mom
didn't feed him right,
408
00:20:29,050 --> 00:20:30,930
and his dad didn't
hug him enough.
409
00:20:30,980 --> 00:20:32,980
That's the way it is today-
there's no accountability,
410
00:20:33,010 --> 00:20:34,310
just blame somebody else.
411
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:36,210
You are a prosecutor,
Annabeth.
412
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,830
It's not your job
to defend this kid.
413
00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:41,180
I'm not- but a great prosecutor
once told me
414
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,700
to have all the facts
before I make a decision.
415
00:20:45,010 --> 00:20:46,820
That'd be me.
416
00:20:47,860 --> 00:20:49,230
But if he was
incited to kill,
417
00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:50,980
why haven't we heard it
from the defense attorney,
418
00:20:51,010 --> 00:20:52,540
at least as a
mitigating factor?
419
00:20:52,570 --> 00:20:54,110
His attorney won't
let him say anything.
420
00:20:54,130 --> 00:20:56,010
- Why not?
- His attorney's Cliff Reardon.
421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,300
He's not interested
in mitigation,
422
00:20:57,330 --> 00:20:58,890
he's interested
in an acquittal.
423
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,620
Reardon- somebody ought
to punch his bar ticket.
424
00:21:01,660 --> 00:21:03,120
I'm still prosecuting this kid,
425
00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:05,190
but I need to find
the truth here-
426
00:21:05,230 --> 00:21:08,490
if his coach put Sammy up to this,
we can't just let it go.
427
00:21:08,510 --> 00:21:10,150
Right now,dozens of parents
428
00:21:10,190 --> 00:21:12,780
are leaving their kids
in his direct control.
429
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,360
What if he's unstable?
430
00:21:14,390 --> 00:21:17,150
What if he's pushing kids
to be violent?
431
00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:19,520
Okay,fine,
investigate the coach.
432
00:21:19,570 --> 00:21:20,640
But I want more.
433
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,670
You need to fill in the
holes in this videotape.
434
00:21:22,690 --> 00:21:24,640
And yelling at one kid
isn't gonna do it.
435
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,500
I need to see a pattern
of abusive behavior,
436
00:21:27,550 --> 00:21:29,840
something that'll hold up
in court.
437
00:21:30,610 --> 00:21:31,700
Okay.
438
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,580
Have you got anything
439
00:21:41,630 --> 00:21:44,010
to corroborate your video
between the coach and the kid?
440
00:21:44,050 --> 00:21:46,690
Nothing that'll stand up
to an evidentiary challenge.
441
00:21:46,730 --> 00:21:50,250
Audio tech can't pull anything useful
to fill in the blanks in that section.
442
00:21:50,300 --> 00:21:51,950
The camcorder was so far away,
443
00:21:51,980 --> 00:21:54,210
there's not enough audio
to work with.
444
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,200
So now what?
445
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,250
Now we have
to get closer.
446
00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,660
Who was on the field
when the coach got to Sammy?
447
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:04,530
It's hard to say-
the ump,some kids.
448
00:22:04,550 --> 00:22:05,750
Okay,see if you can
find the ump;
449
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:07,820
- I'll track down the kids.
- Okay.
450
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:11,690
What exactly did you see?
451
00:22:11,710 --> 00:22:13,220
I didn't really hear
that much.
452
00:22:13,250 --> 00:22:15,080
My brother left his mitt
in the dugout,
453
00:22:15,100 --> 00:22:17,540
so I went to go get it for him
after the game.
454
00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:19,880
All I saw was the coach yelling
at Sammy.
455
00:22:19,910 --> 00:22:21,800
Well,he screams at the players
all the time,
456
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:24,250
so I didn't really pay attention
that much.
457
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,680
Have you ever noticed anything
off about Coach Whiting?
458
00:22:27,710 --> 00:22:30,530
Like I told the police,
I like Coach Whiting.
459
00:22:30,590 --> 00:22:32,440
Does he push
the kids? Yeah.
460
00:22:32,490 --> 00:22:36,200
But the truth is,most
of these kids need to be pushed.
461
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,330
So,how long you been
calling games?
462
00:22:38,360 --> 00:22:41,360
20 years.
You sell insurance 9:00 to 5:00,
463
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,830
you find ways
to get out of the office.
464
00:22:43,870 --> 00:22:44,850
You know,
the truth is,
465
00:22:44,890 --> 00:22:47,930
I used to love it-
the kids,the game.
466
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,640
It was important.
It was about families.
467
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,630
Now it's about money.
468
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,280
Kids,they see more than
the game- they see...
469
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:57,810
scholarships,contracts.
470
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,210
Ben Moran's dead because
the game isn't a game anymore.
471
00:23:02,380 --> 00:23:04,180
Did you see what happened?
472
00:23:04,210 --> 00:23:05,980
I saw Whiting go to town
on Sammy,
473
00:23:06,010 --> 00:23:08,670
screaming at him for losing the game.
474
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,520
You know what he said?
He said...
475
00:23:10,540 --> 00:23:12,940
he was ashamed to be his coach.
476
00:23:12,980 --> 00:23:14,680
- Is that all you heard?
- I didn't want to hear.
477
00:23:14,710 --> 00:23:17,530
I just grabbed my gear
and headed for the car.
478
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:18,680
Next thing I knew,
479
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:22,110
Ben Moran was on the ground
with his skull crushed in.
480
00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:23,870
Okay.
481
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,590
Thanks for your help,
Mr. Martin.
482
00:23:26,620 --> 00:23:27,820
Sure.
483
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:34,140
Hey...
484
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:36,480
You want to know about Whiting,
485
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,810
you talk to Wynn Markel.
486
00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:41,980
He took his kid off the team
after game one of the series.
487
00:23:42,010 --> 00:23:44,960
That-that's
the city championship series.
488
00:23:44,970 --> 00:23:47,090
He still pulled his kid.
489
00:23:48,430 --> 00:23:49,880
Thank you.
490
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,140
Please state your full
name for the record.
491
00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:56,850
Christopher Markel.
492
00:23:59,930 --> 00:24:03,840
Chris,do you understand
what giving a sworn statement means?
493
00:24:03,870 --> 00:24:07,570
Yeah.If I lie,
you'll put me in jail.
494
00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:09,290
Well,I wouldn't
go that far.
495
00:24:09,290 --> 00:24:10,800
But this does go
on the record,
496
00:24:10,820 --> 00:24:13,500
so you'll need to
be truthful,okay?
497
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,760
How long did you play for
Coach Whiting?
498
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,190
Three years-
since I was 11.
499
00:24:19,220 --> 00:24:21,030
And what position
do you play?
500
00:24:21,060 --> 00:24:22,250
Pitcher.
501
00:24:22,410 --> 00:24:25,210
Well,I did,
until I had to get off the team.
502
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,290
Can you tell me
why you got off the team?
503
00:24:29,700 --> 00:24:32,010
We made it
to the city championships,
504
00:24:32,050 --> 00:24:34,900
and Coach let me
pitch game one.
505
00:24:34,930 --> 00:24:37,810
I was doing okay-
we were tied in the sixth.
506
00:24:37,850 --> 00:24:41,370
Two outs,man on third.
507
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:49,290
Chris... it's okay,
you can tell us.
508
00:24:49,350 --> 00:24:52,260
Ben was up,
and he's their best player.
509
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,870
He almost always gets on base.
510
00:24:55,730 --> 00:24:58,080
Coach told me to hit him.
511
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,340
He told you to hit Ben Moran
with a pitch?
512
00:25:02,370 --> 00:25:04,160
Bean him-
that's what he said.
513
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,610
Take him out
so they wouldn't win.
514
00:25:05,630 --> 00:25:08,720
And I said no,because I didn't
want to get kicked out of the game.
515
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:11,060
Coach said to do it
for the team.
516
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:12,490
So what did you do?
517
00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:15,020
I pitched anyway.
518
00:25:15,050 --> 00:25:17,000
Ben hit a double
to left...
519
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,290
and we lost.
520
00:25:20,530 --> 00:25:21,910
Did you know about this?
521
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,610
I should've come forward before.
522
00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:25,800
Chris told me after the game.
523
00:25:25,870 --> 00:25:27,880
I called Whiting,
confronted him.
524
00:25:27,930 --> 00:25:30,040
He denied ever saying it.
525
00:25:30,090 --> 00:25:31,810
I told him Chris
was off the team.
526
00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:34,450
I don't want that guy
anywhere near my son.
527
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,180
Coach Whiting told him to throw
at Ben's head.
528
00:25:38,210 --> 00:25:39,480
He wanted
their star player hurt.
529
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,670
He couldn't Chris to do it
so he used Sammy instead.
530
00:25:41,690 --> 00:25:44,500
Okay,assuming that did happen,
what are you proposing?
531
00:25:44,550 --> 00:25:45,760
We arrest the coach.
532
00:25:45,790 --> 00:25:48,180
Charge him with
inducing aggravated battery.
533
00:25:48,210 --> 00:25:49,250
You don't have enough.
534
00:25:49,290 --> 00:25:50,840
Maureen,he pushed those kids.
535
00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:52,880
And he needs to go
down,I agree,
536
00:25:52,910 --> 00:25:56,730
but we need more on
this guy before we go to trial.
537
00:26:04,410 --> 00:26:07,400
I wish you would have
told me about the baby.
538
00:26:07,460 --> 00:26:09,460
I called you three times.
539
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,630
You didn't call me back,
Maureen.
540
00:26:11,780 --> 00:26:14,780
I've just been... busy.
541
00:26:14,830 --> 00:26:16,380
I'm sorry.
542
00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:18,330
I get home at 10:00
half the time,
543
00:26:18,370 --> 00:26:19,600
and I don't want
to call too late.
544
00:26:19,630 --> 00:26:22,000
- It's not an excuse...
- It's okay.
545
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,500
It wouldn't have made
any difference.
546
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,210
Maybe it's a good thing
how it turned out.
547
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:31,940
I mean,look at me.
548
00:26:32,540 --> 00:26:34,080
I'm not ready
to be a mommy.
549
00:26:34,150 --> 00:26:37,410
- Cassie...
- Roger gives me everything.
550
00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:40,530
Anything I want I have,and...
551
00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:41,960
I'm still a mess.
552
00:26:42,010 --> 00:26:44,680
The stealing
is not about that.
553
00:26:45,210 --> 00:26:47,150
You're going through a trauma,
554
00:26:47,180 --> 00:26:49,820
and you've been going through it
by yourself.
555
00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:51,900
I don't want you to feel
like I'm your problem.
556
00:26:51,930 --> 00:26:54,440
You are not a problem.
557
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,430
You are my sister.
558
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,780
And we haven't been
spending enough time together.
559
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:01,600
Well,you're in luck.
560
00:27:01,930 --> 00:27:04,160
I'm not going anywhere
- you put me on probation.
561
00:27:04,190 --> 00:27:07,160
no.See,you did that to yourself,
and you should be thankful
562
00:27:07,180 --> 00:27:10,090
that it's only probation
and community service.
563
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,650
I don't mean to lecture you,
I'm sorry.
564
00:27:18,810 --> 00:27:22,230
I just want us to be okay.
565
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,370
We are okay.
566
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:31,270
We aren't seeing
enough of each other.
567
00:27:31,370 --> 00:27:33,380
But that's gonna change.
568
00:27:33,460 --> 00:27:35,610
We can pick up trash together
along the highway.
569
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,490
Not on your life.
570
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:38,770
Nice try,though.
571
00:27:41,180 --> 00:27:43,400
Okay,bathroom.
572
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:44,880
- Be right back.
- 'Kay.
573
00:28:13,180 --> 00:28:14,830
He tried to have
the kid hit with a pitch?
574
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:16,450
And that was game one.
575
00:28:16,620 --> 00:28:19,470
Game two,he switched
from a ball to a bat.
576
00:28:19,490 --> 00:28:22,130
- How old are these kids?
- 14.
577
00:28:22,180 --> 00:28:23,950
Open up.
578
00:28:24,090 --> 00:28:26,960
I'm sorry,you don't
kill people at 14,you know?
579
00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:28,130
You read comics or...
580
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,740
stare at girls or...
581
00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:32,420
try to take
your own braces off.
582
00:28:32,710 --> 00:28:34,940
You tried to take
your own braces off?
583
00:28:34,970 --> 00:28:36,730
With pliers.
584
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,060
For real.
585
00:28:39,510 --> 00:28:41,260
All I'm saying is,
these kids,
586
00:28:41,330 --> 00:28:43,100
they're 14 going on 40.
587
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:44,980
Hello?
588
00:28:46,130 --> 00:28:47,320
Yeah,hang on.
589
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:49,150
Detective Williams.
590
00:28:55,230 --> 00:28:55,940
Lily?
591
00:28:55,980 --> 00:28:57,190
Sorry about
calling you at home.
592
00:28:57,220 --> 00:28:59,310
I hope I'm not interrupting
your family dinnertime.
593
00:28:59,340 --> 00:29:00,110
What's up?
594
00:29:00,150 --> 00:29:01,970
You've been looking
for a pattern of behavior.
595
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,430
Well,I think I found it.
596
00:29:03,460 --> 00:29:05,080
I ran Coach Whiting's
team roster
597
00:29:05,140 --> 00:29:07,100
for the past five years
through our criminal database.
598
00:29:07,140 --> 00:29:07,840
And?
599
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,770
He's got two ex-players in juvie
for violent crimes,
600
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:12,590
and two more on probation.
601
00:29:12,850 --> 00:29:15,910
None of these kids had records
until after they played for Whiting.
602
00:29:15,950 --> 00:29:18,780
I don't think he's just teaching
these boys how to compete.
603
00:29:18,820 --> 00:29:22,660
xxx
604
00:29:24,740 --> 00:29:28,780
xxx into that boy's
hands,arrest him.
605
00:29:28,830 --> 00:29:30,460
If we arrest him now,
he lawyers up
606
00:29:30,490 --> 00:29:31,870
and I never get
to question him.
607
00:29:31,890 --> 00:29:33,410
What about the tape?
608
00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:35,790
You don't even know
what he said to that kid.
609
00:29:36,420 --> 00:29:38,110
So we play "hide the ball. "
610
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:40,720
Swear him in,put him
on the stand in Sammy's trial,
611
00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:42,690
and get him
to implicate himself.
612
00:29:48,850 --> 00:29:52,500
Look,I really... I want to
stay neutral here,you know?
613
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,110
I don't want to
hurt this kid.
614
00:29:54,150 --> 00:29:57,480
I'm not gonna ask you to do
anything more than confirm the facts.
615
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,350
'Kay. So just the facts.
616
00:29:59,370 --> 00:30:00,630
Exactly.
617
00:30:03,490 --> 00:30:05,240
So,at the end of the game,
618
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,000
during the final handshakes,
619
00:30:07,050 --> 00:30:08,930
you were busy looking at
the stat sheets.
620
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:09,760
Correct.
621
00:30:09,790 --> 00:30:13,520
You didn't notice any exchange
or hostility between the two boys at the time?
622
00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:15,130
'Fraid not,no.
623
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,250
What was the score
by the way?
624
00:30:17,290 --> 00:30:18,550
We lost by a run.
625
00:30:18,580 --> 00:30:21,290
And what game was this
of the series?
626
00:30:21,330 --> 00:30:22,360
Game two of five.
627
00:30:22,390 --> 00:30:25,230
And you'd lost both games,so...
628
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,860
one more loss and the
series would be over.
629
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,550
Well... we'll never know.
630
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:34,250
Out-out of respect
for the tragedy,the,uh,
631
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,320
the league decided to forfeit
the championship series.
632
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:43,200
Did you have a pitcher on your
team named Christopher Markel?
633
00:30:46,210 --> 00:30:47,740
I did.
634
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,910
He wasn't with us
for game two,though.
635
00:30:51,180 --> 00:30:53,030
Why is that?
636
00:30:53,260 --> 00:30:55,620
He shook off one sign too many.
637
00:30:55,660 --> 00:30:57,450
You can't play the game
if you can't take orders.
638
00:30:57,470 --> 00:30:58,950
He was an uncoachable kid.
639
00:30:58,990 --> 00:31:01,170
Chrik Markel says he quit
after game one
640
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,880
because you came out
to the mound
641
00:31:02,910 --> 00:31:06,220
and instructed him to bean Ben Moran;
642
00:31:06,260 --> 00:31:07,760
to throw the ball
at his head.
643
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:08,540
Never happened.
644
00:31:08,570 --> 00:31:12,700
So it's your sworn testimony that
this player lied under oath in his deposition,
645
00:31:12,740 --> 00:31:15,650
that his father lied under oath
in his deposition,
646
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,300
and that none of your players
in this team
647
00:31:18,340 --> 00:31:20,260
or any other teams
you coached in the past
648
00:31:20,290 --> 00:31:22,860
will testify that you ordered
them to commit similar acts
649
00:31:22,890 --> 00:31:24,780
against rival teams' players?
650
00:31:24,810 --> 00:31:27,690
I don't know what
we're talking about here.
651
00:31:27,710 --> 00:31:30,330
Your Honor,may we approach?
652
00:31:33,350 --> 00:31:36,670
Your Honor,
the prosecution is...
653
00:31:36,970 --> 00:31:38,260
confusing me.
654
00:31:38,290 --> 00:31:41,480
Is there a reason you're
shifting blame from the accused
655
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,030
to the prosecution's
own witness?
656
00:31:43,070 --> 00:31:47,330
Your Honor,it's certainly not
my intent to absolve the defendant.
657
00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:50,800
I'm just trying to illustrate
the full context of his actions.
658
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,330
You sure you know
where this is going?
659
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,530
I do.
660
00:31:54,660 --> 00:31:57,510
This has done nothing
to alleviate my confusion.
661
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:06,020
So,Christoper Markel refused
to obey your orders.
662
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:08,840
He said if he deliberately
threw the ball at Ben's head,
663
00:32:08,870 --> 00:32:10,660
he'd get yanked out of the game.
664
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,910
And you told him,quote,
665
00:32:12,950 --> 00:32:15,880
"That's a trade I'd make
any day of the week. "
666
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,310
I never said that.
667
00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:18,230
He swears you did.
668
00:32:18,260 --> 00:32:20,130
Then that boy is a liar.
669
00:32:20,300 --> 00:32:22,670
You wanted to take Ben Moran
out of the game,
670
00:32:22,710 --> 00:32:25,740
and you were willing to sacrifice one
of your own players to get the job done.
671
00:32:25,750 --> 00:32:28,860
I never said,
"Throw at his head. "
672
00:32:28,910 --> 00:32:33,100
I- I might have said,you know,
"Brush him back. Scare him. "
673
00:32:33,130 --> 00:32:34,640
That's just baseball.
674
00:32:34,690 --> 00:32:37,260
You know,that's how
the game is played.
675
00:32:38,110 --> 00:32:41,770
Is it fair to say
your players look up to you?
676
00:32:41,830 --> 00:32:43,130
You have to ask them.
677
00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:45,450
Is it fair to say
you're used to your players
678
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,110
obeying your instructions?
679
00:32:47,150 --> 00:32:48,810
Yes. Yeah,that would be fair.
680
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,930
So,after game two,with
the series on the line,
681
00:32:51,950 --> 00:32:54,000
when you got in
Sam Behringer's face
682
00:32:54,030 --> 00:32:56,080
and told him to take a swing at Ben Moran,
683
00:32:56,110 --> 00:32:57,230
he knew you meant business.
684
00:32:57,270 --> 00:32:58,560
I never said any
such thing.
685
00:32:58,590 --> 00:32:59,690
I never told him to hit anyone.
686
00:32:59,740 --> 00:33:01,230
That's interesting,
687
00:33:01,260 --> 00:33:04,230
because I have videotape
that shows you doing exactly that.
688
00:33:04,260 --> 00:33:05,890
Your Honor,we haven't
had access to this,
689
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,630
and if this impugns my client
in any way...
690
00:33:07,670 --> 00:33:08,260
What are you talking about?
691
00:33:08,290 --> 00:33:11,780
We've turned over more than
2,000 hours of videotape to the defense.
692
00:33:11,820 --> 00:33:12,970
We've shared every tape,
693
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,400
every interview,
every deposition.
694
00:33:14,420 --> 00:33:18,000
In all good conscience,I cannot
charge my clients $300 an hour
695
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,270
for viewing home videos
of youth league games.
696
00:33:20,310 --> 00:33:22,300
Well,don't blame me
for not doing your homework.
697
00:33:22,330 --> 00:33:25,400
I'm going to allow
the prosecution to proceed.
698
00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:55,050
Do you want me to keep playing
this tape for the jury,
699
00:33:55,090 --> 00:33:57,290
or would you like to tell us
what happens next?
700
00:33:57,330 --> 00:33:59,330
Look,I didn't tell him
to hit anybody.
701
00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:01,290
I knew he was friends with Ben.
702
00:34:01,330 --> 00:34:04,000
I might have said,"Quit
whining and complaining. "
703
00:34:04,020 --> 00:34:04,740
I might have said that.
704
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,790
I was angry,all right!
We lost.
705
00:34:06,830 --> 00:34:08,270
And he cost us the game.
706
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:09,660
Thanks to him,
we were losing the series
707
00:34:09,690 --> 00:34:10,820
and probably the season.
708
00:34:10,850 --> 00:34:12,950
So,yeah,I might have
waved the bat at him.
709
00:34:12,980 --> 00:34:13,680
Yeah,I might have said,
710
00:34:13,710 --> 00:34:16,360
"Next time,try hitting
something with it. "
711
00:34:17,970 --> 00:34:23,520
I never thought he would
swing it at Ben.
712
00:34:28,460 --> 00:34:31,870
I never thought
he'd kill anybody.
713
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,680
I mean,this was,this was
a key game.
714
00:34:37,710 --> 00:34:39,320
This was our shot.
715
00:34:39,350 --> 00:34:41,620
You were up
for a college coaching spot,
716
00:34:41,670 --> 00:34:43,610
so you had to win.
717
00:34:43,830 --> 00:34:44,750
And if that meant
718
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,760
sending out your players to
injure and maim the other team,
719
00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:49,160
so be it.
720
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,070
This was never about the boys.
721
00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:53,930
This was about you.
722
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:04,630
Look,that kid was a threat,and
he was a dirty player himself.
723
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,040
If my boys were going to
have any shot at winning...
724
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:11,930
we needed him off the field.
725
00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:19,570
No further questions.
726
00:35:20,330 --> 00:35:22,170
Oh,so I'm done?
727
00:35:22,210 --> 00:35:23,790
I'm done?
728
00:35:24,250 --> 00:35:26,120
You can't set me up like that
then walk away.
729
00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:28,040
No further questions,
Your Honor.
730
00:35:28,070 --> 00:35:29,460
Counsel?
731
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,190
No questions,
Your Honor.
732
00:35:32,220 --> 00:35:33,320
The witness may step down.
733
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,250
So,what,you haul me up here
734
00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:36,540
to make me look like some kind,
some kind of maniac?
735
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,430
Is that what you want?
736
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,450
No further questions.
737
00:35:38,490 --> 00:35:41,570
Well,I've taken six teams
to the finals.
738
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,250
Six teams!
I've molded these boys.
739
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,960
I've turned losers
into winners.
740
00:35:46,010 --> 00:35:47,590
The witness will step down!
741
00:35:47,620 --> 00:35:49,150
I didn't do this,all right?!
742
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:49,960
He did it!
743
00:35:49,980 --> 00:35:51,280
Son,you did this!
744
00:35:51,310 --> 00:35:52,320
I didn't do this!
745
00:35:52,350 --> 00:35:53,390
Officer of the Court!
746
00:35:53,430 --> 00:35:54,460
All right,fine.
I'm fine.
747
00:35:54,490 --> 00:35:56,400
All right?
Just don't.
748
00:36:15,020 --> 00:36:16,920
Miss Chase,before
anything gets said in here,
749
00:36:16,940 --> 00:36:19,700
I just want to thank you
for what you just did.
750
00:36:21,580 --> 00:36:22,920
Mr. Whiting will be charged
751
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,510
with inciting a minor
to commit felony battery,
752
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:28,360
contributing to the delinquency
of a minor
753
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:29,870
and whatever else we can
charge him with
754
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,910
to keep him from working with
young people for the rest of his life.
755
00:36:32,940 --> 00:36:35,020
But don't think
you're off the hook.
756
00:36:35,070 --> 00:36:36,260
I will tell the jury
757
00:36:36,290 --> 00:36:39,990
that your son still needs to be
held responsible for his crime.
758
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,060
He could have said no.
759
00:36:42,140 --> 00:36:44,240
Could have not
swung that bat.
760
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,250
The best you can hope for
is 12 to 20 years.
761
00:36:49,300 --> 00:36:50,080
She's right.
762
00:36:50,110 --> 00:36:53,200
I spoke to Ben's mom.
She agrees with this.
763
00:36:53,410 --> 00:36:54,980
I'm not going
to make this offer again,
764
00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:56,950
so let's put it to bed now.
765
00:36:57,110 --> 00:36:58,760
Because of the mitigating
circumstances,
766
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,580
I'm willing to offer eight
years in juvenile detention.
767
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:04,340
You will go to school,
you'll get counseling,
768
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,880
and you'll get out
when you're 21.
769
00:37:07,430 --> 00:37:09,370
I think that sounds fair.
770
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:12,690
We'll take it.
771
00:37:19,590 --> 00:37:21,770
Good luck,Sam.
772
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,230
Heard you really snaked
a guy today.
773
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,120
Is that the legal term?
774
00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:47,290
Good going.
775
00:37:48,050 --> 00:37:49,890
Thanks.
776
00:38:07,580 --> 00:38:11,350
Jack,honey?
Coming to bed?
777
00:38:13,700 --> 00:38:15,380
What's all this?
778
00:38:18,870 --> 00:38:20,510
That is me.
779
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:23,010
13 and ready for action.
780
00:38:23,190 --> 00:38:25,490
Oh,my God,look at you.
781
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:29,880
Somebody get that kid
a pair of pliers.
782
00:38:34,820 --> 00:38:36,300
Is that yours?
783
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:39,950
My dad bought me this.
784
00:38:40,550 --> 00:38:41,930
I remember he put
the ball in the pocket
785
00:38:41,970 --> 00:38:43,620
and he tied it up real tight
786
00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:47,040
and showed me how to oil down
the leather so it stays soft.
787
00:38:48,700 --> 00:38:50,550
Are you okay,honey?
788
00:38:51,610 --> 00:38:53,100
Yeah.
789
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,400
I just think about it,you know?
790
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,100
Playing ball,hanging out
with Dad. It was fun.
791
00:38:59,510 --> 00:39:02,030
Sometimes I wonder if I ever...
792
00:39:02,070 --> 00:39:04,950
If you'll ever have
that same kind of fun
793
00:39:04,990 --> 00:39:07,040
with your daughter?
794
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:08,870
I will.
795
00:39:08,980 --> 00:39:11,020
And it'll be great.
796
00:39:11,930 --> 00:39:14,570
I don't know. I just,sometimes,
797
00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:17,930
might be pretty great
to have a son,too.
798
00:39:19,220 --> 00:39:21,460
You think you could help me
with that?
799
00:39:21,490 --> 00:39:22,810
Now?
800
00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:23,970
Now...
801
00:39:24,010 --> 00:39:25,580
or later.
802
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,600
I do know I want to try again.
803
00:39:28,650 --> 00:39:30,130
How many times?
804
00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:32,010
At least enough
to cover the infield.
