This writ of habeas corpus
is based on an affidavit

from Damien Owens in which
he states he is responsible

for a murder
that took place 20 years ago,

a murder for which my client,
Randall Mack,

was wrongfully convicted.

At trial, Mr. Owens
claimed he was an eyewitness

and testified
that he saw my client

kill the decedent
in a bar fight.

My client was found
guilty of first degree murder

and has spent
the last 20 years in prison

for a crime he did not commit.

I ask that the writ be granted
and my client released.

JUDGE BENNER:
Ms. Lopez, wasn't your client

convicted by a jury who found

that the prosecution
had proven their case

beyond a reasonable doubt?

Yes, Your Honor, but Mr. Owens

was the only
eyewitness to the actual crime.

The other witnesses
were only able to testify

to an earlier
disagreement that my client

had with the decedent.

Shouldn'’t the people be given

the opportunity
to cross-examine?

The affidavit is more
than legally sufficient

for this court
to grant our request.

- Is the matter submitted?
- EMILY: Yes, Your Honor.

I ask that the Court
expedite its ruling.

Mr. Owens is ill,
and the doctors can't say

how long he has left.

We will take
that under advisement.

Good day, Ms. Lopez.

EMILY: We should hear back

from the Court
of Appeal in a few days.

Then I will ask
the judge who gets assigned

the hearing to expedite it.

And I was
assured that Damien Owens

is standing by to testify.

I appreciate everything
you're doing, Ms. Lopez.

Well, gratitude goes to Talisha,

her letter
is the reason I'm here.

Well, T'’s my biggest advocate.

I'm just glad somebody
finally read my letter.

I've been hounding
the Free Counsel Initiative

for years for them
to take my dad's case.

This was clearly
a miscarriage of justice.

All of the other
evidence the prosecution

presented was circumstantial
and inconclusive.

And even Joe Loffton,
who was an accessory

after the fact, he never
said that you were the killer.

Never. This came down
to Damien Owens' testimony.

Life in prison.

He claims he was falsely accused

and wrongly convicted
of murder 20 years ago.

We just granted an order

to show cause
on a habeas petition.

And what was the reason?

Uh, well, the only
eyewitness, Damien Owens,

has recanted his testimony,

now saying
that he committed the murder.

Wasn't that enough
to correct the writ?

His credibility is at issue.

He'’s saying
that he lied under oath

had difficulty testifying.

The order from
the Court of Appeal

was to take
Mr. Owen's testimony.

We obviously cannot do that now.

So there's no reason for
this hearing to move forward.

EMILY: I still
have Mr. Owens'’ affidavit,

which was made
under penalty of perjury.

Your Honor,
the affidavit is hearsay

and the rules of evidence apply.

There's no hearsay exception,
and so it is inadmissible.

Your Honor,
Mr. Owens affidavit qualifies

as a dying declaration.

And if the court
finds that it does not meet

the hearsay exception,
then the affidavit

should be admitted into evidence
under the Chambers'’ case.

Without Mr. Owens
statement being subject

to cross-examination,
there is no way to determine

if the statement is reliable.

Ms. Palmer has a good point.

Ms. Lopez, permission
to speak to your client?

Of course, Your Honor.

JUDGE CARMICHAEL:
Mr. Mack,

I want you to be aware

that this
is an informal questioning

- and you're not under oath.
- I understand, Your Honor.

Mr. Mack, were you
or anyone in your family

in contact with
Mr. Owens prior to his death?

Yes, my daughter, Talisha.

JUDGE CARMICHAEL:
Thank you.

Ms. Mack,
you are not under oath.

Would you please tell
the court about

your contact
with Mr. Owens?

I heard Damien was sick.
I went to see him.

Told me stories about
my dad and their friendship.

I simply asked him
to tell what really happened.

And did he tell you?

No. It was only later
I learned about his affidavit.

Your Honor, the Court
of Appeals had the affidavit

and nevertheless
ordered an evidentiary hearing.

They could have granted
a writ based on the affidavit

- if that alone was sufficient.
- EMILY: Your Honor.

I know that I can
find additional evidence

to prove Mr. Owens
testified falsely at trial.

I just-- I just need some time.

Ms. Lopez, I need a proposal

from you for how
much time you need, and why.

Ms. Palmer, find
authority for why this court

cannot expand the order.

All parties
are ordered back tomorrow.

Randall, I know that Damien
was mad about the marriage,

but was there anything else?

Uh, no.

Look, we were growing apart

long before I married Etta.

'Cause Damien had gotten
into some bad shit.

I didn'’t want
nothin'’ to do with it.

That's why
I only hung out with him

- and Joe at the bar.
- Define bad.

Damien was hanging
out with some sketchy dudes

and that KC Smith,
that victim, he was one of '‘em.

Randall, if you knew
that Damien was into bad stuff,

going back to the bar?

He was my friend.

For a long time.

It's hard to let that go.

I went over the case file.

I'm curious about
a woman named Julia Barnes.

She was on the witness list,
but she never testified.

Oh, um...

She was a coworker.

Are these for real?

Yes. I first noticed them

when Ada showed me a photo.

Thank you for coming.

There are a few issues
I'd like to clear up.

About what?
Everything seems in order.

AMY: Oh, bear
with me, Mr. James.

Could I please see the ring?

Thank you.
I'd asked Wendell to send me

a picture of the ring
and I notice

a new spring
had been molded to the inside.

This is often done
to resize a ring in order

not to lose any
of its intricate details.

Would you please try this on?

Oh. Too small.

UNCLE: Mother fitted
that ring a year ago.

Mindy has
picked up weight since.

Well, actually I grabbed these
from Mindy's Twitter page and--

it appears
over the last three years,

Mindy'’s changed very little.

Would you please try this on?

Mother simply had
a change of heart. Nothing more.

Perhaps you'd like
to see some other photos

my associate found.

These were taken three months
before Grandmother died,

which happens to coincide
with the changes

made to the will,

that was electronically signed.

How could you hurt grandmother?

Utter nonsense. I would never--

You cannot prove any of this.

You're right.

Elder abuse is incredibly
difficult to prove.

Which is why I called

Deputy District Attorney
Mark Callan.

♪

Keep the damn ring.

[crying]

I'm really sorry, Ada.

It'’s okay.
I know it wasn't you, Min.

Thank you so much.

I'm going to be
singing your praises to Andre.

Callan,
What are you doing here?

Did you just use me?

Don't know what you mean.

What if I don't take it?

If Judge Carmichael
rules against us

at the evidentiary hearing, you
go back to prison indefinitely.

- Do we have a chance?
- Yes.

We are very
close to finding Joe.

And if Julia doesn't show,

then Judge Carmichael
will issue an arrest warrant.

You talked to Julia?

I had to, Randall.

Is she gonna help me?

I don't know.

[laughing]

Twenty years later,
she's still breaking my heart.

I know this is a hard decision.

What would you do?

[birds chirping]

I've made my decision.
Accept the offer.

Ms. Lopez.

- Is that it?
- Yes.

You don't have to take the plea.

- Is it Julia? She here?
- No. Randall--

CLERK: All rise.
Court is now in session.

You may be seated.

I was informed
the People made an offer.

- Yes, Your Honor--
- Uh, Your Honor,

Mr. Mack respectfully rejects
the People's offer.

The defense has located
Joe Loffton, Your Honor.

And has his sworn statement
that it was Damien Owens

who committed the murder
my client was convicted of.

Your Honor, we spent
the last week discussing

how a signed document
isn't admissible evidence.

The court can't just admit

a signed piece
of paper for the truth.

Except in very
limited circumstances.

Thank you. Ms. Lopez,
why did it take Mr. Loffton

twenty years to come forward?

Fear, Your Honor. Damien Owens
threatened Joe'’s family.

Joe just found out
about Damien's death

and he wants
to do right by my client.

He says that he's
willing to testify if needed.

Ms. Palmer, how do
the people wish to proceed?

Your Honor.

[heartfelt piano instrumental]

This new evidence corroborates
Damien Owens'’ affidavit.

The people are
no longer confident

we could prove the case
beyond reasonable doubt.

Therefore...

we are
withdrawing our opposition

to the habeas petition and...

agree the conviction
should be vacated.

If the people are no longer

contesting the writ,
then this court

will return this
case to the Court of Appeal

and recommend
that the writ be granted.

Mr. Mack.

You are released
on your own recognizance.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Mr. Mack,
I would like to apologize

on behalf of the court.

Today is a bittersweet moment.

There is much
to celebrate in that justice

has finally been served.

But there's so much
disappointment and sadness

that it took so long.

This court is adjourned.

RANDALL: Baby, you did it!

- [Talisha laughing]
- [Talisha] You're free daddy.

♪

Is it over?

It's over.

How do I begin?

Randall, you're not
going to be alone in this. Okay?

Talisha and I will be
there every step of the way.

I'm going to set
meetings for you,

help you find
a job and a place to live.

But for now...

You're going to stay with me,

for as long as you want, daddy.

I will file for compensation
for wrongful conviction.

That is happening.

Um...

Until it comes in,
this might help.

- [sobbing]
- [Talisha] You don't have to

do that-- Oh, Daddy!

It'’s not a lot but
I want you to have it, okay?

It's yours.

Thank you.

You'’re welcome.

And I know
it's been a long road,

you'’re tired but there's this
one last thing I need us to do.

♪

[both sobbing]

Congratulations.

It is quite satisfying,
when justice is served.

After our earlier conversations,

that is not
the reaction I was expecting.

Well, our system of justice
can only be reinforced

by thoughtful debate.

You and I may
not always agree,

but we must be assured that as
long as you wear that robe,

you will always have my respect.

Thank you, Judge Marshall.

Hey, husband.

Mm...

I think we found our nanny.

Really?

Okay.

Daddy, we have
something that we would like

What do you think about you

[laughs]

I'’m touched.
But we have to decline.

Don't you need to discuss
this with mama first?

I know exactly what she'll say.

Being a nanny is a job.
We love being grandparents.

It's more fun.

Here, there you go. Go to daddy.

You know what this means?

Hmm. Let the nanny search begin.
