Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,015 --> 00:00:03,744
NARRATOR:In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:03,817 --> 00:00:07,685
the people are representedby two
separateyet equally important groups,
3
00:00:07,754 --> 00:00:09,585
the policewho investigate crime
4
00:00:09,656 --> 00:00:12,454
and the district attorneyswho prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:12,526 --> 00:00:14,118
These are their stories.
6
00:00:15,128 --> 00:00:18,461
MAN: Frank and Count Basie at The Sands.
That'll set the mood.
7
00:00:18,532 --> 00:00:20,227
Then what are you going to do?
8
00:00:20,300 --> 00:00:23,701
Yeah. Hot oil?
That sounds good.
9
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:26,068
Yeah, that'll definitely get
little Johnny's attention.
10
00:00:26,139 --> 00:00:28,073
(PHONE RINGING) Wait, wait.
11
00:00:28,141 --> 00:00:29,506
Advanced Studies.
12
00:00:29,576 --> 00:00:31,168
Hello again, Mr. Aronson.
13
00:00:31,244 --> 00:00:32,973
I was just on my way out.
14
00:00:33,046 --> 00:00:36,379
No, I wouldn't leave if your wife
was still here, but she's not.
15
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:39,078
Okay, okay.
I got your number.
16
00:00:39,152 --> 00:00:42,246
I'll take a quick look,
I'll call you back. Bye-bye.
17
00:00:42,322 --> 00:00:44,813
Hello, Jackie? Listen, there's
something I got to do, okay, baby?
18
00:00:44,891 --> 00:00:45,880
I'll be right back.
19
00:00:45,959 --> 00:00:48,359
Keep the coffee
percolating. Bye.
20
00:00:55,235 --> 00:00:56,725
Mrs. Aronson?
21
00:01:00,540 --> 00:01:02,030
Mrs. Aronson?
22
00:01:07,447 --> 00:01:08,937
Mrs. Aronson!
23
00:01:11,651 --> 00:01:14,882
The school custodian, Johnny Cobb,
says he found her about 9:30.
24
00:01:14,955 --> 00:01:15,944
Any other witnesses?
25
00:01:16,022 --> 00:01:17,182
Nobody else was
in the building.
26
00:01:17,257 --> 00:01:18,986
The front doors were locked,
the alarm was set.
27
00:01:19,059 --> 00:01:21,653
I saw her around 7:00,
she was grading papers,
28
00:01:21,728 --> 00:01:23,719
she told me she
was leaving soon.
29
00:01:23,797 --> 00:01:26,664
And the first time her husband
called, you checked the classroom?
30
00:01:26,733 --> 00:01:27,927
That was just
a little after 9:00.
31
00:01:28,001 --> 00:01:32,028
I walked by the room, the lights
were out, so I didn't look in.
32
00:01:32,105 --> 00:01:33,970
I called him back,
I told him she wasn't here.
33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,133
But the second time,
you looked in.
34
00:01:36,209 --> 00:01:39,542
The second time I tried
the door, it was open.
35
00:01:39,613 --> 00:01:41,478
She always locks up
after herself.
36
00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:43,743
She often work late?
Yeah.
37
00:01:43,817 --> 00:01:47,253
Damn shame, you know, a young woman
like that, she's a good person.
38
00:01:47,320 --> 00:01:49,720
Yeah, they usually are,
Mr. Cobb. Thank you.
39
00:01:49,790 --> 00:01:50,814
(COUGHS)
40
00:01:50,891 --> 00:01:52,586
Thought you were
going to call in sick.
41
00:01:52,659 --> 00:01:55,924
Can't afford to give up the
sick days before Christmas.
42
00:01:55,996 --> 00:01:57,293
Okay, so when I get your cold,
43
00:01:57,364 --> 00:01:59,832
is your wife going to
make me chicken soup?
44
00:01:59,900 --> 00:02:04,860
Say hello to Sarah Aronson, 28,
taught art and art history,
45
00:02:04,938 --> 00:02:06,565
and according to
Detective Bailey,
46
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,574
she's been history
for about two hours.
47
00:02:08,642 --> 00:02:09,973
Give or take.
48
00:02:10,043 --> 00:02:12,273
Strangled with the strap
from her handbag.
49
00:02:12,345 --> 00:02:15,109
Perp left behind cash,
cards, the whole caboodle.
50
00:02:15,182 --> 00:02:16,809
Well, maybe he got
what he came for.
51
00:02:16,883 --> 00:02:18,908
It must have been
the lmmaculate Conception.
52
00:02:18,985 --> 00:02:20,919
Panties are intact,
no fluids anywhere.
53
00:02:20,987 --> 00:02:22,750
Yeah, unless you count
all that red stuff.
54
00:02:22,823 --> 00:02:25,155
No wounds on her I can see,
blood's got to be the perp's.
55
00:02:25,225 --> 00:02:27,216
Anything she might've
used as a weapon?
56
00:02:27,294 --> 00:02:29,421
Yeah, we found
a piece of chalk.
57
00:02:29,496 --> 00:02:31,589
Bag her as soon
as you're ready.
58
00:02:33,099 --> 00:02:34,999
Did you take art
in high school, Rey?
59
00:02:35,068 --> 00:02:36,535
Physics.
60
00:02:37,404 --> 00:02:40,168
An art teacher,
who'd she ever hurt?
61
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,333
Yeah, an algebra teacher,
I could understand.
62
00:02:42,409 --> 00:02:43,398
(COUGHS)
63
00:03:31,992 --> 00:03:34,722
This was Sarah's third year
at Advanced Studies.
64
00:03:34,794 --> 00:03:37,354
She was involved in every
aspect of school life.
65
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:40,661
Coached girls volleyball, headed
the community outreach group.
66
00:03:40,734 --> 00:03:42,793
Do you have any idea
who could have done this?
67
00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:45,360
Some neighborhood scum.
68
00:03:45,438 --> 00:03:47,406
We had a couple of
break-ins last year.
69
00:03:47,474 --> 00:03:50,204
They stole some computers,
vandalized classrooms.
70
00:03:50,277 --> 00:03:51,642
Your people did
a quick inventory,
71
00:03:51,711 --> 00:03:53,508
nothing was stolen,
nothing was vandalized.
72
00:03:53,580 --> 00:03:55,207
And there's no sign
of any break-in.
73
00:03:55,282 --> 00:03:56,977
I can't believe anyone
here would do this.
74
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:59,610
Two thousand high school kids, and
every one of them's an angel?
75
00:03:59,686 --> 00:04:01,278
We recruit our students
76
00:04:01,354 --> 00:04:03,822
from among the highest
achievers in the city.
77
00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:07,087
They take a battery of tests to
get here, these aren't hoodlums.
78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,721
Well, Dr. Sabloff, somebody got out
without setting off the alarm.
79
00:04:10,797 --> 00:04:13,288
How many people have
a key to disarm it?
80
00:04:13,366 --> 00:04:15,357
Faculty, some of the staff.
81
00:04:15,435 --> 00:04:18,268
Look, you're barking up
the wrong tree here.
82
00:04:18,338 --> 00:04:21,136
Whoever did this could have
taken Sarah's key to get out.
83
00:04:24,678 --> 00:04:27,875
Sarah told me she was having
dinner with another teacher,
84
00:04:27,948 --> 00:04:30,143
Lana Halstead.
85
00:04:30,216 --> 00:04:32,582
She was supposed to
be home around 9:00.
86
00:04:35,188 --> 00:04:37,554
When can I bring her back?
87
00:04:37,624 --> 00:04:40,650
I've got to arrange the
funeral before the Sabbath.
88
00:04:40,727 --> 00:04:43,218
We'll tell the coroner
to try to speed it up.
89
00:04:43,296 --> 00:04:46,322
Mr. Aronson, if your wife was
having dinner with a friend,
90
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,300
then why did you
call the school?
91
00:04:49,369 --> 00:04:53,897
Well, when Sarah wasn't home by
9:00, I called Ms. Halstead.
92
00:04:53,974 --> 00:04:57,171
She said that
Sarah never showed up.
93
00:04:58,345 --> 00:05:01,576
She thought maybe she was still
grading papers at the school.
94
00:05:01,648 --> 00:05:03,081
And what did you think?
95
00:05:06,820 --> 00:05:11,120
Mr. Aronson, is it possible
that she was seeing somebody?
96
00:05:11,191 --> 00:05:12,385
No.
97
00:05:14,027 --> 00:05:15,756
No.
98
00:05:15,829 --> 00:05:18,559
But something was going on.
99
00:05:18,632 --> 00:05:22,796
For two weeks now, there were
calls, lots of hang-ups.
100
00:05:22,869 --> 00:05:25,599
Once a man called,
asked for Sarah,
101
00:05:25,672 --> 00:05:27,640
and they wouldn't
leave a message.
102
00:05:27,707 --> 00:05:29,698
Well, what did she say
about these calls?
103
00:05:29,776 --> 00:05:32,438
She just thought I was making
a big deal about nothing.
104
00:05:32,512 --> 00:05:35,379
Can you think of anyone who
could have made these calls?
105
00:05:38,718 --> 00:05:39,980
No.
106
00:05:41,988 --> 00:05:44,149
Sarah and I were supposed
to have dinner together,
107
00:05:44,224 --> 00:05:45,657
I was not covering for her.
108
00:05:45,725 --> 00:05:48,125
Ms. Halstead, you might think
you're helping your friend here.
109
00:05:48,194 --> 00:05:49,559
I am not lying.
110
00:05:49,629 --> 00:05:51,756
Sarah was not the type
to have an affair.
111
00:05:51,831 --> 00:05:55,528
My experience is it's an
equal-opportunity character flaw.
112
00:05:55,602 --> 00:05:57,229
Sarah and I were close.
113
00:05:57,303 --> 00:06:00,431
If she were seeing somebody,
I'm sure that I would know.
114
00:06:00,507 --> 00:06:02,873
Well, her husband said they
got some strange phone calls,
115
00:06:02,942 --> 00:06:05,376
at least one of
them from a man.
116
00:06:07,313 --> 00:06:08,871
Ms. Halstead?
117
00:06:15,255 --> 00:06:20,022
She hinted that she was having a problem
with one of the other teachers.
118
00:06:20,093 --> 00:06:21,390
This problem have a name?
119
00:06:21,461 --> 00:06:24,726
Richard Kovax, Advanced Math.
120
00:06:24,798 --> 00:06:26,766
He was her mentor,
her first year here.
121
00:06:26,833 --> 00:06:27,959
BRISCOE:
Is that all he was?
122
00:06:28,034 --> 00:06:30,832
Well, maybe not in
Richard's imagination.
123
00:06:30,904 --> 00:06:33,395
Richard's been with
the school for 18 years,
124
00:06:33,473 --> 00:06:36,067
and anytime they need money for
some kind of special project,
125
00:06:36,142 --> 00:06:38,770
he's the one they send to
speak to these foundations.
126
00:06:38,845 --> 00:06:43,373
So that kind of thing breeds a
certain amount of arrogance.
127
00:06:44,884 --> 00:06:48,251
I got along very well
with Sarah. I liked her.
128
00:06:48,321 --> 00:06:50,516
If she had a problem with
that, she never told me.
129
00:06:50,590 --> 00:06:53,058
Then why would she want to talk
about you with Ms. Halstead?
130
00:06:53,126 --> 00:06:55,993
Beats me. I may not
be God's gift to women,
131
00:06:56,062 --> 00:06:59,259
but I'm not surprised I'm a topic
among the female staff here.
132
00:06:59,332 --> 00:07:03,701
Well, we got the impression that your
animal magnetism wasn't on the agenda.
133
00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:07,171
Look, Sarah was
an exciting intellectual
134
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,868
and a fine artist
in her own right.
135
00:07:10,076 --> 00:07:11,407
I showed her
a little more attention.
136
00:07:11,478 --> 00:07:13,139
If she mistook that
for something deeper...
137
00:07:13,213 --> 00:07:14,703
Or more sinister?
138
00:07:15,749 --> 00:07:17,979
Did you ever call her
at home, Richard?
139
00:07:18,051 --> 00:07:21,316
Don't bother saying no, 'cause we
have other ways of finding out.
140
00:07:21,387 --> 00:07:24,220
I might've called her last week
to discuss the outreach program.
141
00:07:24,290 --> 00:07:26,724
And last night around 7:30?
142
00:07:26,793 --> 00:07:30,593
I was at the Morningside Gym, warming
up for my session with my trainer.
143
00:07:30,663 --> 00:07:32,563
I was there till
just after 10:00.
144
00:07:33,299 --> 00:07:37,065
He has a regular time,
8:00, three nights a week.
145
00:07:37,137 --> 00:07:40,834
Uh-huh. And what time did
you get here Wednesday?
146
00:07:40,907 --> 00:07:45,537
7:00. Then I went straight into
the whirlpool to work on my knee.
147
00:07:45,612 --> 00:07:48,046
I didn't see Richard
till about 7:50.
148
00:07:48,114 --> 00:07:49,911
He was warming up
on the treadmill.
149
00:07:49,983 --> 00:07:52,645
Did you notice any cuts
or bruises on him?
150
00:07:52,719 --> 00:07:55,313
No, but he usually
wears a sweatshirt.
151
00:07:55,388 --> 00:07:57,549
See, he had a bypass
about two years ago,
152
00:07:57,624 --> 00:07:59,524
he really doesn't want
people to see the scar.
153
00:07:59,592 --> 00:08:02,390
CURTIS: How about his mood?
Anything unusual that night?
154
00:08:02,462 --> 00:08:05,158
No, same as it's been for
the last couple of weeks.
155
00:08:05,231 --> 00:08:06,255
Lousy.
156
00:08:06,332 --> 00:08:09,062
He had the Christmas blues
a few weeks early, huh?
157
00:08:09,135 --> 00:08:12,730
Well, you ask me, he got the three
strikes from his girlfriend.
158
00:08:12,806 --> 00:08:14,000
They used to come in together,
159
00:08:14,073 --> 00:08:17,873
but she called me about two weeks
ago, wanted to change her time.
160
00:08:17,944 --> 00:08:19,775
Two weeks ago,
right around the same time
161
00:08:19,846 --> 00:08:22,314
Aronson started getting
the phone calls.
162
00:08:22,382 --> 00:08:24,976
You get that girlfriend's number,
we're going to need it, all right?
163
00:08:28,822 --> 00:08:31,655
I'm not exactly shocked
you're here.
164
00:08:31,724 --> 00:08:33,692
I knew sooner or later it
would catch up to Richard,
165
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,821
I just didn't expect
it would be this fast.
166
00:08:38,464 --> 00:08:40,830
What would catch up to him?
167
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:42,868
The second coming
of Classanova.
168
00:08:42,936 --> 00:08:46,099
Believe me, I thought of
calling the police myself.
169
00:08:46,673 --> 00:08:48,470
So what happened?
170
00:08:48,541 --> 00:08:50,304
Did he run off
with her to Vegas?
171
00:08:50,376 --> 00:08:53,345
You're saying he was involved
with one of his students?
172
00:08:54,347 --> 00:08:57,680
I was at his place on Sunday,
a couple of weeks ago.
173
00:08:58,785 --> 00:09:00,377
He went out to get the paper.
174
00:09:00,453 --> 00:09:04,150
The phone rang, I heard the
message on the machine.
175
00:09:04,224 --> 00:09:05,885
It sounded like a young girl.
176
00:09:05,959 --> 00:09:07,119
What was the message?
177
00:09:07,193 --> 00:09:10,128
She was sorry she'd
gotten him in trouble.
178
00:09:10,196 --> 00:09:12,858
She said it wasn't her fault,
she tried keeping it a secret,
179
00:09:12,932 --> 00:09:15,992
but something about
a Mrs. Aronson,
180
00:09:17,704 --> 00:09:20,468
and the girl left
her name. Mattie.
181
00:09:22,008 --> 00:09:24,909
What did Kovax say about it?
182
00:09:24,978 --> 00:09:27,845
He told me I was
jumping to conclusions.
183
00:09:27,914 --> 00:09:28,972
Right.
184
00:09:29,048 --> 00:09:33,178
I know I didn't phone my high school
teachers at home on Sunday mornings.
185
00:09:33,253 --> 00:09:35,483
I got my things and left.
186
00:09:35,555 --> 00:09:36,817
My money's on the girlfriend.
187
00:09:36,890 --> 00:09:38,653
She wouldn't have walked unless
there was something to it.
188
00:09:38,725 --> 00:09:41,057
Oh, yeah? Well,
take it from the old bull,
189
00:09:41,127 --> 00:09:44,096
women can walk because you leave
the cap off the toothpaste.
190
00:09:44,163 --> 00:09:46,028
Besides, this Mattie
could be 90 years old.
191
00:09:46,099 --> 00:09:48,192
I got the work-up on the
blood from the scene.
192
00:09:48,268 --> 00:09:50,498
The perp's male,
most likely Caucasian.
193
00:09:50,570 --> 00:09:51,628
So far that's me.
194
00:09:51,704 --> 00:09:53,433
Well, you better cut out
your morning donut.
195
00:09:53,506 --> 00:09:57,465
The PCR tests indicate our
perp's predisposed to diabetes.
196
00:09:57,543 --> 00:10:01,445
Well, if Kovax had a bypass, maybe
that wasn't his only health problem.
197
00:10:01,514 --> 00:10:05,245
Yeah, I'm still here.
Yeah, go ahead.
198
00:10:06,686 --> 00:10:10,053
Right. Can you give me
the address?
199
00:10:11,624 --> 00:10:14,149
Okay, thank you very much.
200
00:10:14,227 --> 00:10:17,253
Kovax has a Mattie Braverman
in his 11th grade class.
201
00:10:17,330 --> 00:10:20,299
Lennie, what kind of trouble does a
grown man get in over a 16-year-old?
202
00:10:20,366 --> 00:10:21,856
Come on.
BRISCOE: Well, let's ask him.
203
00:10:21,935 --> 00:10:25,132
Uh-uh. Ask the girl first,
might save us some apologies.
204
00:10:25,204 --> 00:10:27,434
The love life of
a 16-year-old girl?
205
00:10:27,507 --> 00:10:29,407
Sounds like your department.
206
00:10:31,277 --> 00:10:32,767
Have a seat, Mattie.
207
00:10:32,845 --> 00:10:35,336
I told your mother
it wouldn't take long.
208
00:10:35,415 --> 00:10:36,882
I don't mind
looking at some photos,
209
00:10:36,950 --> 00:10:40,386
but I really doubt
I'll recognize anybody.
210
00:10:40,453 --> 00:10:43,320
I really didn't notice who was hanging
around the school last Wednesday.
211
00:10:43,389 --> 00:10:46,324
I didn't bring you down
here to look at mug shots,
212
00:10:46,392 --> 00:10:50,522
but I do want to know about your
relationship with Richard Kovax.
213
00:10:51,197 --> 00:10:53,131
He's just my teacher,
what do you mean?
214
00:10:53,199 --> 00:10:54,791
You called him at home.
215
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:56,801
One of his friends
heard your message.
216
00:10:56,869 --> 00:10:57,927
(CHUCKLES)
217
00:10:58,004 --> 00:10:59,494
I don't even know his number.
218
00:10:59,572 --> 00:11:01,767
Mattie, we can look
at your phone records.
219
00:11:01,841 --> 00:11:03,433
We can prove you made the call,
220
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:05,340
so don't lie or I promise you,
221
00:11:05,411 --> 00:11:07,606
you will be in serious trouble.
222
00:11:08,414 --> 00:11:09,506
(EXHALES)
223
00:11:11,484 --> 00:11:14,009
All right,
I better get your mother.
224
00:11:14,087 --> 00:11:15,918
This is a murder investigation,
225
00:11:15,989 --> 00:11:17,422
and you're a material witness.
226
00:11:17,490 --> 00:11:20,186
The less you cooperate,
the worse it gets.
227
00:11:20,259 --> 00:11:21,624
Wait.
228
00:11:23,963 --> 00:11:25,954
Don't bring my mother in here.
229
00:11:29,502 --> 00:11:32,300
The call wasn't about
what you think.
230
00:11:32,372 --> 00:11:34,397
I wasn't sleeping
with Mr. Kovax.
231
00:11:34,474 --> 00:11:36,533
Then what was the call about?
232
00:11:39,312 --> 00:11:41,746
Mrs. Aronson was my advisor.
233
00:11:41,814 --> 00:11:43,145
She called me in
a couple of weeks ago
234
00:11:43,216 --> 00:11:45,741
because I was getting
A's in Advanced Math.
235
00:11:45,818 --> 00:11:48,150
She knew I wasn't
a math genius.
236
00:11:48,287 --> 00:11:50,619
Last year, I was
getting C's and D's.
237
00:11:50,690 --> 00:11:52,180
She wanted to know
what the deal was.
238
00:11:52,258 --> 00:11:54,089
And what did you tell her?
239
00:11:55,128 --> 00:11:56,595
She was like you.
240
00:11:57,997 --> 00:12:00,864
She thought I was slutting Mr.
Kovax for good grades.
241
00:12:01,968 --> 00:12:05,404
She said she was gonna go to the administration.
I said it wasn't true.
242
00:12:05,471 --> 00:12:07,803
I was buying grades
from Mr. Kovax.
243
00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:10,533
Excuse me?
244
00:12:10,610 --> 00:12:13,170
I was giving him
$300 a semester.
245
00:12:13,246 --> 00:12:17,580
I had to, to bring up my GPA,
or forget about Vassar.
246
00:12:17,650 --> 00:12:19,174
I'm not the only one, you know.
247
00:12:19,252 --> 00:12:21,982
I can name at least six
other students in my class.
248
00:12:25,658 --> 00:12:27,990
She said she was going
to speak to Mr. Kovax.
249
00:12:28,961 --> 00:12:31,088
I've been Teacher of the
Year, five years running.
250
00:12:31,164 --> 00:12:32,654
I know how to
motivate these kids.
251
00:12:32,732 --> 00:12:34,825
You know how to
pick their pockets.
252
00:12:34,901 --> 00:12:38,268
We talked to some of Mattie's friends,
they all tell the same story.
253
00:12:38,337 --> 00:12:41,033
Seven kids,
three bills each a semester,
254
00:12:41,107 --> 00:12:44,474
that's over $4,000 a year, not
counting the kids we don't know about.
255
00:12:46,179 --> 00:12:48,113
I think I should
talk to a lawyer.
256
00:12:48,181 --> 00:12:51,878
You say the word,
we'll let you make a call
257
00:12:51,951 --> 00:12:55,443
right after we book you for
bribe-receiving and murder.
258
00:12:57,623 --> 00:12:58,988
That's absolutely crazy.
259
00:12:59,058 --> 00:13:00,889
I left that school at 6:30.
260
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,291
Dr. Sabloff saw me leave,
ask him.
261
00:13:02,361 --> 00:13:05,023
We did. That just means
you came back later.
262
00:13:05,098 --> 00:13:06,531
You're dead meat, Richard.
263
00:13:06,599 --> 00:13:08,692
You left your blood
all over that classroom.
264
00:13:08,768 --> 00:13:10,167
What'd she do,
smack you in the nose
265
00:13:10,236 --> 00:13:11,328
while you were strangling her?
266
00:13:11,404 --> 00:13:14,498
Look, I'm an O negative.
You check, it can't be my blood.
267
00:13:16,709 --> 00:13:18,734
Thanks for your
cooperation, Richard.
268
00:13:18,811 --> 00:13:20,210
It's my duty to inform you
269
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:23,510
that your blood type matches
the type found at the scene.
270
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:24,641
But that's impossible.
271
00:13:24,717 --> 00:13:25,741
Stand up, Mr. Kovax.
272
00:13:25,818 --> 00:13:28,514
Wait, would you let me explain?
273
00:13:28,588 --> 00:13:29,850
What, you don't want
a lawyer anymore?
274
00:13:29,922 --> 00:13:32,356
No, I want to clear this up.
275
00:13:37,296 --> 00:13:39,161
Sarah found out
what I was doing,
276
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,727
but I made a deal with her,
I stopped taking the money.
277
00:13:42,802 --> 00:13:44,133
And did you stop
taking their money?
278
00:13:44,203 --> 00:13:45,295
Yes.
279
00:13:48,741 --> 00:13:52,268
I told the students the deal
was off, and I told them why.
280
00:13:53,713 --> 00:13:56,682
You told them that Sarah Aronson
was the one who pulled the plug?
281
00:13:56,749 --> 00:13:58,182
Maybe I shouldn't have.
282
00:13:59,318 --> 00:14:02,583
A few days ago, Sarah told
me she'd gotten threats,
283
00:14:02,655 --> 00:14:04,816
anonymous notes
left on her desk.
284
00:14:05,958 --> 00:14:07,516
She wanted to know
who was responsible.
285
00:14:07,593 --> 00:14:09,083
I told her I didn't know.
286
00:14:09,162 --> 00:14:13,223
I teach seven classes, it could
have been any one of 30 kids,
287
00:14:13,299 --> 00:14:15,665
but I swear to God,
I didn't kill her.
288
00:14:15,735 --> 00:14:17,965
CURTIS: Well,
we believe you, Mr. Kovax.
289
00:14:19,172 --> 00:14:21,072
Turns out,
we got everything mixed up.
290
00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:23,404
Your blood type
doesn't match, after all.
291
00:14:27,780 --> 00:14:30,943
She kept a locker in here to
change for volleyball practice.
292
00:14:31,017 --> 00:14:32,848
This one's yours, Lennie.
I did her desk.
293
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:34,716
Great. Smelly socks.
I can't wait.
294
00:14:34,787 --> 00:14:36,755
This one, number 12.
295
00:14:48,801 --> 00:14:49,825
Hmm.
296
00:14:49,902 --> 00:14:51,164
This is cute.
297
00:14:52,171 --> 00:14:55,231
"Open your big mouth,
Jew bitch, and you'll die."
298
00:14:55,308 --> 00:14:58,505
"Hitler was right, burn with
the rest of the mud people."
299
00:15:08,421 --> 00:15:11,151
I met Mrs. Aronson last year.
300
00:15:11,224 --> 00:15:13,715
She brought her students to
the Met to see our collection
301
00:15:13,793 --> 00:15:15,784
of da Vinci drawings.
302
00:15:15,861 --> 00:15:19,024
She had some very talented
young artists in her group,
303
00:15:19,098 --> 00:15:22,033
very strong on technique.
304
00:15:22,101 --> 00:15:24,001
As for subject matter,
305
00:15:24,070 --> 00:15:27,403
well, the sooner they stop listening
to heavy metal, the better.
306
00:15:27,473 --> 00:15:30,499
Well, what about the kid who was listening
to Deutschland über alles?
307
00:15:30,576 --> 00:15:31,873
Is he one of hers?
308
00:15:31,944 --> 00:15:34,811
Well, this drawing was done
in freehand calligraphy,
309
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,840
meaning each figure was outlined
with one continuous line.
310
00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,719
Definitely inspired
by Japanese sumi-e painting.
311
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,355
Very much like this one.
312
00:15:47,260 --> 00:15:49,626
What's particularly interesting
313
00:15:49,695 --> 00:15:53,654
are the folds in
this dress and this.
314
00:15:53,733 --> 00:15:57,692
See how the shadows are suggested
by the thickness of the line?
315
00:15:58,537 --> 00:16:00,971
The same hand drew
both of these.
316
00:16:04,777 --> 00:16:06,608
Edward Camarillo.
317
00:16:07,313 --> 00:16:10,510
Yeah, I drew an angel
for a school project.
318
00:16:10,583 --> 00:16:12,642
Is that some kind of violation
of church and state?
319
00:16:12,718 --> 00:16:14,345
I'll show you a violation.
320
00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:19,417
This is your work, Eddie,
your special style.
321
00:16:19,492 --> 00:16:20,686
Are you asking me a question?
322
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,251
Everything in here's
a question, wiseass.
323
00:16:23,329 --> 00:16:24,762
Look, I didn't draw this, okay?
324
00:16:24,830 --> 00:16:26,195
Somebody ripped me off.
325
00:16:26,265 --> 00:16:27,391
And I never sweated Mrs. A.
326
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:30,196
Oh! Even when she
squirted on your parade?
327
00:16:30,269 --> 00:16:34,262
Yeah, Richard Kovax told us you
were buying grades from him.
328
00:16:34,340 --> 00:16:36,774
Kovax is lying.
I earned my grades in math.
329
00:16:36,842 --> 00:16:39,140
Oh, yeah? How about
a little pop quiz, Eddie?
330
00:16:39,211 --> 00:16:40,872
Let's see, you're 18.
331
00:16:40,946 --> 00:16:45,076
Why don't we add 25 to that, 'cause
that's the going rate for murder.
332
00:16:45,151 --> 00:16:47,176
(SPEAKING SPANISH)
333
00:16:47,253 --> 00:16:50,552
You better watch who you're
cracking off to, you little punk.
334
00:16:50,623 --> 00:16:54,150
Now, we match your prints to the
prints on this drawing, it's over.
335
00:16:54,226 --> 00:16:57,218
So you talk now, or you're going
to be grabbing your ankles
336
00:16:57,296 --> 00:17:00,390
for some real tough guys
down in Sing Sing.
337

Look, I didn't do this stuff,
I swear, okay?
338
00:17:04,837 --> 00:17:06,964
And I don't know who did.
339
00:17:07,039 --> 00:17:09,940
A lot of people were
pissed off at Mrs. A.
340

And I didn't kill her,

341
00:17:12,378 --> 00:17:14,846
I was working in
his store that night.
342
00:17:14,914 --> 00:17:18,008
The old man owns a shoe
repair place up on Amsterdam,

till 8:00.
344
00:17:19,819 --> 00:17:22,185
Checked with some of the
customers, he was there.
345
00:17:22,254 --> 00:17:25,155
We showed his folks
the drawing he sent Aronson.
346
00:17:25,224 --> 00:17:27,089
It didn't go over in a big way.
347
00:17:27,159 --> 00:17:28,888
Got to admit it's
a little out of character.
348
00:17:28,961 --> 00:17:31,327
His mother lent us
his high-school year book.

and a letter in wrestling.
351
00:17:39,038 --> 00:17:41,233
Doesn't impress me
as much as his alibi.

354
00:17:43,509 --> 00:17:46,774
This favorite quote
of his, L-A-L,
355
00:17:46,846 --> 00:17:48,814
what is that,
something in español?
356
00:17:48,881 --> 00:17:50,280
I never heard of it.
357
00:17:52,551 --> 00:17:56,248
Look at this kid, Ashton.
His quote's K-l-L.
358
00:17:56,322 --> 00:17:58,153
He's on the
wrestling team, too.
359
00:17:58,224 --> 00:17:59,748
Wait a minute.
360
00:18:00,659 --> 00:18:02,650
BRISCOE: Here's somebody
with a K-E-S.
361
00:18:02,728 --> 00:18:04,662
Niels, another wrestler.
362
00:18:07,032 --> 00:18:10,433
Same as this one,
Hastings. He's got L-K-I.

Maybe we get
Vanna White in here.

Hey, it was a joke,
376
00:19:06,992 --> 00:19:08,857
just to see if the geeks
at the yearbook were awake.
377
00:19:08,928 --> 00:19:11,863
Well, we were wide awake.
We know all about your deal with Kovax.
378
00:19:11,931 --> 00:19:14,422
Yeah, and we know about
the notes Aronson got.
379
00:19:14,500 --> 00:19:16,525
Were those supposed
to be a joke, too?

Look, we're sorry she's dead,
381

you're talking about.
382
00:19:19,572 --> 00:19:22,200
Right. We're all sorry.

We have to take a shower
before our next class.
384

Is that okay?

00:19:25,945 --> 00:19:28,209
Sure, make sure
you scrub real hard.
386
00:19:30,649 --> 00:19:32,082
We weren't out to hurt anybody,
387
00:19:32,151 --> 00:19:33,743
besides it's free speech,
it's protected.
388
00:19:33,819 --> 00:19:35,787
That doesn't cover
death threats, Matt.
389
00:19:35,855 --> 00:19:38,153
I'm talking about the yearbook,
I never threatened anybody.

Oh, yeah. "Kill all kikes.
" I guess you meant that in a nice way.
391

Look, it was a joke.
392
00:19:43,195 --> 00:19:44,958
Ezra Pound made
fun of the Jews.
393

And Hemingway in
The Sun Also Rises.

Why do you think he gave
the fool the name of Cohn?
395

Just because I made
fun of them, so what?

Can I go now, please?
397
00:19:57,877 --> 00:19:59,401
They thought this was funny?
398
00:19:59,478 --> 00:20:03,209
Yeah, Hastings gave us a comparative
lit course on their sense of humor.
399
00:20:03,282 --> 00:20:06,911
According to Richard Kovax, all
four were buying grades from him.
400
00:20:06,986 --> 00:20:08,977
Camarillo has an alibi
for the night of the murder,
401
00:20:09,054 --> 00:20:11,284
but we think the other three
are viable suspects.
402
00:20:11,357 --> 00:20:13,655
I didn't think
it was relevant before,
403
00:20:13,726 --> 00:20:16,388
but I came by the school
one evening a month ago.
404
00:20:16,462 --> 00:20:19,090
I saw Matt Hastings
coming out the front door.
405
00:20:19,164 --> 00:20:21,997
He told me he was working
on a chemistry project.
406
00:20:22,067 --> 00:20:24,433
He said he'd gotten the key for
the alarm from Ms. Miller.
407
00:20:24,503 --> 00:20:26,334
You checked this out with her?
408
00:20:26,405 --> 00:20:27,838
She denied giving him the key.
409
00:20:27,907 --> 00:20:29,204
So the kid was lying.
410
00:20:29,275 --> 00:20:31,436
I didn't think so at the time.
411
00:20:31,510 --> 00:20:34,707
I assumed she was covering up
to avoid being reprimanded.
412
00:20:34,780 --> 00:20:36,805
You took a student's word
over hers?
413
00:20:36,882 --> 00:20:38,543
Not just any student.
414
00:20:38,617 --> 00:20:41,347
Matt Hastings was in
the top one percentile,
415
00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:43,217
he was class president
last year.
416
00:20:43,289 --> 00:20:45,689
There was talk of
making him valedictorian.
417
00:20:47,693 --> 00:20:49,627
I never suspected this.
418
00:20:50,629 --> 00:20:52,324
We did handsprings
for the judge.
419
00:20:52,398 --> 00:20:54,298
He still wouldn't sign off
on a search warrant.
420
00:20:54,366 --> 00:20:55,890
You lifted fingerprints
from the notes?
421
00:20:55,968 --> 00:20:58,368
Doesn't help. None of these
kids has ever been printed.
422
00:20:58,437 --> 00:21:00,564
In other words, we're stuck.
We've got the blood at the scene,
423
00:21:00,639 --> 00:21:03,631
but we can't force
Hastings to give us a sample.
424
00:21:03,709 --> 00:21:06,701
The M.E. Found a
predisposition to diabetes.
425
00:21:07,613 --> 00:21:10,844
Diabetes can be detected by
looking for high sugar in urine.
426
00:21:10,916 --> 00:21:13,510
We still need a warrant to
make this punk pee in a cup.
427
00:21:13,586 --> 00:21:15,144
The school doesn't.
428
00:21:15,220 --> 00:21:16,983
Hastings is a wrestler.
429
00:21:17,056 --> 00:21:20,548
We ask them to conduct a drug
test of the wrestling team.
430
00:21:20,626 --> 00:21:22,389
And that gets us around it?
431
00:21:22,461 --> 00:21:25,624
The Supreme Court said so in the
Vernonia ruling a few months ago.
432
00:21:25,698 --> 00:21:29,134
That allows the testing of high
school athletes without a warrant.
433
00:21:38,978 --> 00:21:41,037
Hastings, Matthew.
That's him.
434
00:21:41,113 --> 00:21:42,637
Let me see the number
on that one.
435
00:21:42,715 --> 00:21:45,115
As our lawyer, this should
make you very uncomfortable.
436
00:21:45,184 --> 00:21:46,651
These children have rights.
437
00:21:46,719 --> 00:21:48,448
Board of Education
gave it their blessing.
438
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,420
This is strictly by the book.
439
00:21:55,194 --> 00:21:57,389
Well, we ran a full screen
on all the students.
440
00:21:57,463 --> 00:21:59,590
As high schools go,
this one's very clean.
441
00:21:59,665 --> 00:22:02,691
Only two positives.
One for THC and one for alcohol.
442
00:22:02,768 --> 00:22:04,030
We're looking for sugar.
443
00:22:04,103 --> 00:22:05,297
Sugar?
444
00:22:05,371 --> 00:22:08,306
My mother warned me, one day the
sugar police would show up.
445
00:22:08,374 --> 00:22:11,309
Yeah, well, we finally got here.
So, did you find any?
446
00:22:11,377 --> 00:22:13,607
Actually, whenever we get
a positive read for alcohol,
447
00:22:13,679 --> 00:22:16,477
we run another test to determine
if the source is external.
448
00:22:16,548 --> 00:22:17,845
As in a glass of wine?
449
00:22:17,916 --> 00:22:20,441
Correct. Otherwise,
the source could be internal.
450
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:22,919
If there's yeast in the urine
and an abundance of sugar,
451
00:22:22,988 --> 00:22:25,388
presto, body works

Why go after my client?
476
00:23:21,246 --> 00:23:24,010
Simple. He expressed a point
of view you didn't like.
477
00:23:24,083 --> 00:23:26,916
His crime wasn't
about his point of view.
478
00:23:26,985 --> 00:23:29,010
It was about
pumping up his grades,
479
00:23:29,088 --> 00:23:30,715

got in the way.
480

a little harder, big deal.

485
00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:46,028
He was at home with me.

If he were my son, Mr.
Hastings, I'd probably say the same thing.
487

Now, if he tells me
others were involved,
488
00:23:54,113 --> 00:23:56,479
I might convince a judge
to go easy on him.
489

I was just trying
to scare her off.
493
00:24:03,756 --> 00:24:06,623
We matched his blood
to the blood on the scene,
494
00:24:06,692 --> 00:24:10,184
and his principal told us
he has a key to the school.

He knows I borrowed
it from Ms. Miller.

the fact in your yearbook.

505
00:24:37,723 --> 00:24:39,122
In Vernonia,
506
00:24:39,191 --> 00:24:41,659
the Supreme Court
allowed drug testing to
507
00:24:41,727 --> 00:24:44,127
combat illegal drug
use in public schools.
508
00:24:44,196 --> 00:24:48,565
It did not intend the test as a
subterfuge to identify murder suspects.
509
00:24:48,634 --> 00:24:51,432
This was a properly conducted
search for illegal drugs.
510
00:24:51,503 --> 00:24:54,529
They were looking for drugs, but
they came up with diabetes?
511
00:24:54,606 --> 00:24:57,973
The predisposition for diabetes
was in plain view, Your Honor.
512
00:24:58,043 --> 00:24:59,738
Under a microscope.
513
00:24:59,812 --> 00:25:02,940
The defendant tested
positive for alcohol.
514
00:25:03,015 --> 00:25:06,610
The lab ran a routine test to
find the source of the alcohol.
515
00:25:06,685 --> 00:25:09,313
That's how they found
he had a high-sugar level.
516
00:25:09,388 --> 00:25:11,288
Sounds like plain view
to me, Ms. Marsdale.
517
00:25:11,356 --> 00:25:15,087
Your Honor, the Vernonia
ruling sanctioned random testing.
518
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,628
There was nothing
random about this test.
519
00:25:17,696 --> 00:25:20,722
I refer to Exhibit C of
the moving affidavits,
520
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:24,496
the statement by the lab technician
who conducted the tests.
521
00:25:24,570 --> 00:25:26,401
When the samples
were collected,
522
00:25:26,471 --> 00:25:29,463
the officers singled
out which individual
523
00:25:29,541 --> 00:25:31,941
they were interested in,
namely, my client.
524
00:25:32,010 --> 00:25:33,409
You dispute this,
Mr. McCoy?
525
00:25:33,478 --> 00:25:36,311
The officers simply asked for
the identification number
526
00:25:36,381 --> 00:25:37,871
of Mr. Hastings' specimen.
527
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:40,851
There was no intent to corrupt
the testing procedure.
528
00:25:40,919 --> 00:25:42,147
I don't care
about their intent.
529
00:25:42,221 --> 00:25:45,019
You pushed the envelope
too far, Mr. McCoy.
530
00:25:45,090 --> 00:25:47,888
I'm granting the motion.
The test results are out.
531
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,690
Your Honor, since the results
led to my client being charged
532
00:25:50,762 --> 00:25:52,525
and to further evidence
being collected, may I...
533
00:25:52,598 --> 00:25:55,863
Yes, it's all out.
The charges are dismissed.
534
00:25:55,934 --> 00:25:59,961
These officers.
A couple of Chatty Cathys.
535
00:26:01,073 --> 00:26:02,233
(EXHALES)
536
00:26:02,975 --> 00:26:05,341
They were looking at the
bottom of the bag, Adam.
537
00:26:05,410 --> 00:26:07,275
The drug test was all
we had to go with.
538
00:26:07,346 --> 00:26:09,712
Still have the threats,
still have motive.
539
00:26:09,781 --> 00:26:11,646
Build the house again.
Right.
540
00:26:11,717 --> 00:26:14,185
The yearbook and the threats might
have been juvenile hyperbole,
541
00:26:14,253 --> 00:26:16,744
but not what the police
found in his room.
542
00:26:16,822 --> 00:26:19,313
Issues of Aryan Times
magazine,
543
00:26:19,391 --> 00:26:22,554
racist literature downloaded
from the Internet,
544
00:26:22,628 --> 00:26:24,186
White Power music.
545
00:26:24,263 --> 00:26:26,288
Let me guess. Wagner.
546
00:26:26,365 --> 00:26:29,129
Yeah, you won't be
hearing this at the Met.
547
00:26:29,201 --> 00:26:31,567
"Jew Boy, better start running,
548
00:26:31,637 --> 00:26:34,572
"rat-faced bastard,
our time is coming."
549
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,700
I'm shocked we have things
like this in a free society.
550
00:26:37,776 --> 00:26:39,835
This kid have an alibi?
551
00:26:39,912 --> 00:26:41,402
Home with his father.
552
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,345
What's his father's alibi?
553
00:26:47,185 --> 00:26:50,177
I was doing home care
in Kew Gardens that night.
554
00:26:50,255 --> 00:26:52,120
I came back
just before 11:00.
555
00:26:52,190 --> 00:26:55,887
Joe was watching the news and Matt
was in his room, on the computer.
556
00:26:55,961 --> 00:26:57,792
And your daughter,
where was she?
557
00:26:57,863 --> 00:27:00,093
Carlie had a sleepover
at a friend's house.
558
00:27:00,165 --> 00:27:01,655
But you're sure Matt
was home all night?
559
00:27:01,733 --> 00:27:04,998
Yes, my husband told me,
and I know my own son.
560
00:27:05,604 --> 00:27:07,367
He's nothing like
they say in the papers.
561
00:27:07,439 --> 00:27:10,203
Those people think
we're all anti-Semites.
562
00:27:10,275 --> 00:27:12,140
Those people?
563
00:27:12,210 --> 00:27:15,202
You know very well what I'm
talking about, Ms. Kincaid.
564
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,340
It's clear what your son was
talking about in the yearbook.
565
00:27:19,851 --> 00:27:22,251
He was just trying to get
a rise out of people.
566
00:27:22,321 --> 00:27:24,084
I mean, look at that school.
567
00:27:24,156 --> 00:27:26,954
How do you think he feels?
He's a minority.
568
00:27:27,025 --> 00:27:29,892
What about the hate
literature found in his room?
569
00:27:29,962 --> 00:27:31,122
Who was that aimed at?
570
00:27:31,196 --> 00:27:34,597
Matt reads a lot.
It's just a curiosity.
571
00:27:34,666 --> 00:27:36,998
He doesn't have
a problem with Jews.
572
00:27:37,069 --> 00:27:39,629
For God's sake,
he was seeing a Jewish girl.
573
00:27:40,205 --> 00:27:42,605
Do I think he's
an anti-Semite?
574
00:27:42,674 --> 00:27:45,006
When he was with me,
Matt admired Jews.
575
00:27:45,077 --> 00:27:47,875
He was always going on
how intelligent we were.
576
00:27:47,946 --> 00:27:50,972
The first couple of months,
it was kind of flattering.
577
00:27:51,049 --> 00:27:52,641
And then?
578
00:27:52,718 --> 00:27:54,845
Then some of the stuff he told
other people got back to me.
579
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,911
Like, how he was
just with me because
580
00:27:56,989 --> 00:27:58,957
he thought it was
good for his image.
581
00:27:59,024 --> 00:28:00,514
You're smart and attractive.
582
00:28:00,592 --> 00:28:03,288
It could have been some
male chest-thumping.
583
00:28:03,362 --> 00:28:06,991
It wasn't that.
It was because I was Jewish.
584
00:28:07,065 --> 00:28:10,557
He thought it would help him get over
with the other Jewish kids at school.
585
00:28:10,635 --> 00:28:12,694
So that was important to him?
586
00:28:12,771 --> 00:28:14,136
Well, yeah.
587
00:28:14,206 --> 00:28:16,936
It is if you want to become class
president and a bunch of other stuff
588
00:28:17,009 --> 00:28:20,570
that looks good on a college
application, and it worked.
589
00:28:21,580 --> 00:28:25,380
Last month, he got early admission
to Princeton, full scholarship.
590
00:28:25,450 --> 00:28:26,974
Thanks to you.
591
00:28:27,052 --> 00:28:28,917
Is that why you guys broke up?
592
00:28:28,987 --> 00:28:33,083
Yeah. Of course,
he denied using me.
593
00:28:33,158 --> 00:28:36,150
He blamed all the other Jewish
kids for telling lies about him.
594
00:28:36,228 --> 00:28:38,059
He said that they
were just jealous.
595
00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:40,098
It was just so typical
of him, you know.
596
00:28:40,165 --> 00:28:43,066
He never took responsibility
for anything.
597
00:28:43,135 --> 00:28:45,399
Loren, you never answered
my first question.
598
00:28:45,470 --> 00:28:49,736
Is he an anti-Semite, or is it like
his mom says, it's just an act?
599
00:28:51,009 --> 00:28:53,204
No, it's no act.
600
00:28:53,278 --> 00:28:56,736
I mean, I know where he gets
it from, it's his parents.
601
00:28:56,815 --> 00:29:01,377
Like, one time his dad started asking
about this family, the Abramsons.
602
00:29:01,453 --> 00:29:04,786
Like, all us Jews were supposed
to know each other or something.
603
00:29:04,856 --> 00:29:06,949
He said that they cheated him
out of his printing business,
604
00:29:07,025 --> 00:29:10,825
and that it was their fault he couldn't
afford to send Matt to prep school.
605
00:29:10,896 --> 00:29:13,558
It was just stupid.
606
00:29:13,632 --> 00:29:17,659
Even though I know how Matt
feels about Jewish people,
607
00:29:17,736 --> 00:29:21,172
I just can't believe he could
have killed Mrs. Aronson.
608
00:29:21,239 --> 00:29:25,141
Niels and Ashton, I mean, I could
totally imagine them doing it.
609
00:29:25,210 --> 00:29:26,677
Those guys are scary.
610
00:29:26,745 --> 00:29:28,872
What about Eddie Camarillo?
611
00:29:29,648 --> 00:29:30,842
He just follows Matt around.
612
00:29:30,916 --> 00:29:32,440
I mean, they've been friends
since freshman year.
613
00:29:32,517 --> 00:29:34,451
They do crazy stuff together.
614
00:29:34,519 --> 00:29:37,682
They used to break into the school on
Saturdays to lift weights and stuff.
615
00:29:37,756 --> 00:29:39,917
How'd they get past
the alarm system?
616
00:29:42,461 --> 00:29:47,296
Well, Eddie had a key made on
the machine at his dad's store.
617
00:29:48,333 --> 00:29:50,233
You gave him the key, Eddie.
618
00:29:50,302 --> 00:29:53,169
That's how he got out,
after he killed Mrs. Aronson.
619
00:29:53,238 --> 00:29:56,036
That's not true.
I don't have a key.
620
00:29:56,108 --> 00:29:57,905
Our witness says you do.
621
00:29:57,976 --> 00:29:59,967
That makes you
an accomplice to murder.
622
00:30:00,045 --> 00:30:02,411
And whatever plans you had
for the next 20 years,
623
00:30:02,481 --> 00:30:04,039
you better put them on hold.
624
00:30:04,116 --> 00:30:07,210
Now you serve up Matt Hastings,
your future gets a little brighter.
625
00:30:07,285 --> 00:30:08,980
I can't.
I'm down with him.
626
00:30:09,054 --> 00:30:10,248
CURTIS: Hey.
627
00:30:10,622 --> 00:30:12,613
Be down with this.
628
00:30:12,691 --> 00:30:15,854
When Hastings talks about the mud
people, who you think that is?
629
00:30:17,329 --> 00:30:19,524
That's you, Eddie.
That's you and me.
630
00:30:19,598 --> 00:30:20,860
We're the mud people.
631
00:30:20,932 --> 00:30:21,921
You're wrong.
632
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,197
My people come from pure Spanish
blood, white Christian blood.
633
00:30:25,270 --> 00:30:26,601
Come on.
634
00:30:26,671 --> 00:30:28,764
After they're done
with the Jews, the blacks,
635
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,899
the Asians, the Arabs,
who's next?
636
00:30:30,976 --> 00:30:34,412
Sooner or later, the mailman comes
to your gate, hermano.
637
00:30:44,122 --> 00:30:46,522
Mrs. Aronson
recognized my drawing.
638
00:30:47,659 --> 00:30:49,217
She called me in.
639
00:30:49,294 --> 00:30:51,922
She said she'd give us a
chance to turn ourselves in.
640
00:30:53,198 --> 00:30:55,894
Matt said he'd lose
his scholarship.
641
00:30:55,967 --> 00:30:58,197
He said he was
going to talk to her.
642
00:31:00,906 --> 00:31:02,737
So I gave him my key.
643
00:31:06,311 --> 00:31:08,438
I never thought
he was going to hurt her.
644
00:31:10,448 --> 00:31:11,881
Pick him up.
645
00:31:14,452 --> 00:31:16,886
I'll never doubt
the law of averages again.
646
00:31:16,955 --> 00:31:19,446
Arrest someone often enough and
sooner or later, it'll stick.
647
00:31:19,524 --> 00:31:22,357
It had more to do with the
law of inevitability.
648
00:31:22,427 --> 00:31:24,327
Once we had
Camarillo's testimony,
649
00:31:24,396 --> 00:31:27,524
Judge Busey had no choice but to
re-admit all the other evidence.
650
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:29,123
But I'm a gracious
winner, Alice.
651
00:31:29,201 --> 00:31:32,170
If you want to discuss
a plea, I'm all ears.
652
00:31:32,437 --> 00:31:34,462
Sorry to get your
testosterone bubbling,
653
00:31:34,539 --> 00:31:36,700
Jack, but this is
just a courtesy call.
654
00:31:36,775 --> 00:31:40,677
Roy Payne, Jack McCoy,
Claire Kincaid.
655
00:31:40,745 --> 00:31:43,270
Roy will be heading
the defense.
656
00:31:43,348 --> 00:31:44,713
Roy Payne?
657
00:31:45,750 --> 00:31:47,684
You recruited a Klan lawyer.
658
00:31:47,752 --> 00:31:50,312
I don't belong to
the Klan, Mr. McCoy.
659
00:31:50,388 --> 00:31:53,983
Wrote a few briefs in support of
their march in Skokie, that's all.
660
00:31:54,059 --> 00:31:55,117
(SIGHS)
661
00:31:55,193 --> 00:31:57,855
Lt'll take more than briefs to
get this boy out of the woods.
662
00:31:57,929 --> 00:31:59,021
Well, I doubt it.
663
00:31:59,097 --> 00:32:01,588
Our client's the innocent victim
of a pernicious conspiracy
664
00:32:01,666 --> 00:32:04,294
to frame him and protect
the real murderer.
665
00:32:04,369 --> 00:32:05,768
And who would that be?
666
00:32:05,837 --> 00:32:07,327
Richard Kovax.
667
00:32:07,539 --> 00:32:11,236
The Jews got together to protect
him, and I'll prove it.
668
00:32:11,309 --> 00:32:14,210
If a judge will stop laughing
long enough to let you.
669
00:32:18,083 --> 00:32:20,574
PAYNE: We're completely
within our rights, Your Honor.
670
00:32:20,652 --> 00:32:24,213
Moreover, as defense counsel, we
have an absolute duty to our client
671
00:32:24,289 --> 00:32:26,849
to present an alternate theory
to the crime, if one exists.
672
00:32:26,925 --> 00:32:29,985
A credible theory,
not paranoid fantasies.
673
00:32:30,061 --> 00:32:33,428
They can't offer a shred of
evidence to support this claim.
674
00:32:33,498 --> 00:32:35,489
PAYNE: Well, we have evidence,
Your Honor.
675
00:32:35,567 --> 00:32:38,400
A Jewish detective led
the investigation.
676
00:32:38,470 --> 00:32:42,736
A Jewish teacher was inexplicably
dismissed as a prime suspect.
677
00:32:42,807 --> 00:32:46,106
Another Jewish teacher lied
to implicate my client.
678
00:32:46,177 --> 00:32:49,510
A Jewish forensic technician allowed
evidence to be contaminated.
679
00:32:49,581 --> 00:32:51,572
I get the idea, Mr. Payne.
680
00:32:51,650 --> 00:32:55,086
Your Honor, it's obvious this
defense serves only one purpose,
681
00:32:55,153 --> 00:32:58,384
to confuse and inflame the jury.
It's offensive.
682
00:32:58,456 --> 00:33:03,416
Yes, it is, Mr.
McCoy, but your objection is premature.
683
00:33:03,495 --> 00:33:06,555
I'll weigh their evidence before
it's presented to the jury.
684
00:33:06,631 --> 00:33:08,929
If they can't give me
an offer of proof,
685
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,025
then you'll have your remedies.
686
00:33:11,102 --> 00:33:13,662
Jury selection will
begin tomorrow morning.
687
00:33:14,205 --> 00:33:17,231
It's the golden age of
conspiracy theories, Mr. McCoy.
688
00:33:17,309 --> 00:33:18,503
People love them.
689
00:33:18,576 --> 00:33:20,806
They help them make sense
of an irrational world.
690
00:33:20,879 --> 00:33:23,712
It's theories like yours
that make it irrational.
691
00:33:23,782 --> 00:33:25,477
You know you have
nothing to back it up.
692
00:33:25,550 --> 00:33:27,211
I've got reasonable doubt.
693
00:33:27,285 --> 00:33:29,344
You go outside
with me right now,
694
00:33:29,421 --> 00:33:32,788
we'll ask 12 people on the street
what they think about Jews,
695
00:33:32,857 --> 00:33:34,722
and all I need's one.
696
00:33:41,900 --> 00:33:43,868
Mr. Carson,
697
00:33:43,935 --> 00:33:46,927
have you ever used a racial epithet
to describe a Jewish person?
698
00:33:47,005 --> 00:33:49,235
Maybe, but never
to somebody's face.
699
00:33:49,307 --> 00:33:51,138
I respect the Jewish people.
700
00:33:51,209 --> 00:33:53,575
Thank you.
We're done, Your Honor.
701
00:33:56,247 --> 00:33:58,977
Do you have any Jewish friends, Mr.
Carson?
702
00:33:59,050 --> 00:34:01,416
No, but my landlord is Jewish.
703
00:34:03,788 --> 00:34:05,312
And Mr. Baron?
704
00:34:06,358 --> 00:34:09,850
Have you ever been the victim
of a racially-motivated attack?
705
00:34:09,928 --> 00:34:12,396
No, I haven't.
Thank God.
706
00:34:12,464 --> 00:34:14,455
Amen, Mr. Baron.
707
00:34:16,434 --> 00:34:17,799
Just one more thing.
708
00:34:17,869 --> 00:34:19,166
By any chance, are you Jewish?
709
00:34:19,237 --> 00:34:20,295
Objection, Your Honor!
710
00:34:20,372 --> 00:34:21,930
In my chambers.
711
00:34:22,540 --> 00:34:25,134
He has no business
asking the question.
712
00:34:25,210 --> 00:34:28,236
A juror cannot be excluded
because of his race or religion.
713
00:34:28,313 --> 00:34:30,008
He can if he's biased.
714
00:34:30,081 --> 00:34:34,142
My client has a right to know if Jewish
jurors can set aside their bias.
715
00:34:34,219 --> 00:34:35,982
I simply want to put them
under heightened scrutiny.
716
00:34:36,054 --> 00:34:38,022
Mr. Payne simply
wants to exclude them.
717
00:34:38,089 --> 00:34:40,353
That's unconstitutional, even
for peremptory challenges.
718
00:34:40,425 --> 00:34:42,052
If I find some unbiased Jews,
719
00:34:42,127 --> 00:34:45,187
then by all means
they're welcome to stay.
720
00:34:45,263 --> 00:34:47,424
Anyway, this issue
won't come up very often.
721
00:34:47,499 --> 00:34:50,798
Most of them are smart enough to
avoid jury duty in the first place.
722
00:34:50,869 --> 00:34:52,393
Mr. Payne, that is enough.
723
00:34:53,805 --> 00:34:57,969
Mr. McCoy, as odious as I find Mr.
Payne's position,
724
00:34:58,042 --> 00:35:01,944
bias is a relevant factor
in jury selection.
725
00:35:02,013 --> 00:35:04,038
I'll allow his questions.
726
00:35:07,318 --> 00:35:09,343
Payne's already
in the win column.
727
00:35:09,421 --> 00:35:12,686
He's made the justice system
complicit in his client's bigotry.
728
00:35:12,757 --> 00:35:14,622
You mean his own.
729
00:35:14,692 --> 00:35:17,786
Only difference between Payne
and Hastings is a law degree.
730
00:35:17,862 --> 00:35:20,990
Turn back the clock, he'd be drafting
the house rules at Auschwitz.
731
00:35:21,065 --> 00:35:22,692
Get off the soapbox.
732
00:35:22,767 --> 00:35:24,997
You're trying a murderer,
not an anti-Semite.
733
00:35:25,069 --> 00:35:26,093
He's a lot of both.
734
00:35:26,171 --> 00:35:28,196
Well, I couldn't care less.
735
00:35:28,273 --> 00:35:31,242
I don't want this turning into a
farce about who said the K word.
736
00:35:31,309 --> 00:35:33,140
Hastings said it,
and I believe he meant it.
737
00:35:33,211 --> 00:35:34,974
He was probably saying it
when he killed her.
738
00:35:35,046 --> 00:35:38,538
The woman who was lowering the
boom on his Princeton scholarship.
739
00:35:38,616 --> 00:35:41,483
He would have killed her
if her name was McGinty.
740
00:35:41,553 --> 00:35:43,384
Make sure the jury knows it.
741
00:35:47,125 --> 00:35:49,184
When we performed
the RFLP tests
742
00:35:49,260 --> 00:35:51,490
on the blood swatches
taken from the scene
743
00:35:51,563 --> 00:35:53,895
and the blood taken
from the defendant,
744
00:35:53,965 --> 00:35:56,866
we found that genetic codes
in both samples matched.
745
00:35:59,170 --> 00:36:02,367
What are the odds that the blood
you found came from someone else?
746
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,738
With this precise match?
One in a million.
747
00:36:10,415 --> 00:36:11,814
Mr. Rosen,
748
00:36:13,017 --> 00:36:15,144
was the RFLP test
first performed
749
00:36:15,220 --> 00:36:17,620
on the blood swatches
from the crime scene
750
00:36:17,689 --> 00:36:21,125
before or after my client
had been arrested?
751
00:36:21,192 --> 00:36:22,716
I'll have to check.
752
00:36:24,863 --> 00:36:26,592
I'm looking at the dates.
753
00:36:27,765 --> 00:36:29,596
It was after he was arrested,
754
00:36:29,667 --> 00:36:33,831
once a blood sample was collected
from him at Central Booking Station.
755
00:36:33,905 --> 00:36:36,635
PAYNE: Who brought
the blood sample to your lab?
756
00:36:36,708 --> 00:36:38,869
Detective Briscoe
signed the evidence sheet.
757
00:36:38,943 --> 00:36:42,310
And were the blood swatches from
the crime scene kept in your lab,
758
00:36:42,380 --> 00:36:44,780
under lock and key,
24 hours a day?
759
00:36:44,849 --> 00:36:46,339
No, not when someone's
there working.
760
00:36:46,417 --> 00:36:49,909
Then is it possible Detective
Briscoe could have had access
761
00:36:49,988 --> 00:36:52,047
to the blood swatches
from the crime scene
762
00:36:52,123 --> 00:36:54,751
before you performed
the RFLP test?
763
00:36:55,426 --> 00:36:57,291
Anything's possible.
764
00:36:57,362 --> 00:37:00,957
Thank you, Mr. Rosen.
No more questions.
765
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,194
CURTIS: After we collected the
blood sample from the defendant,
766
00:37:05,270 --> 00:37:08,000
I accompanied
Detective Briscoe to the lab.
767
00:37:08,873 --> 00:37:11,034
He signed the evidence sheet
768
00:37:11,109 --> 00:37:14,510
and gave the sample to the
lab technician, Mr. Rosen.
769
00:37:15,346 --> 00:37:16,904
Thank you, Detective.
770
00:37:18,983 --> 00:37:23,682
Detective Curtis, when you accompanied
Detective Briscoe to the lab,
771
00:37:23,755 --> 00:37:25,245
were you with him
the whole time?
772
00:37:25,323 --> 00:37:26,347
Yes.
773
00:37:26,424 --> 00:37:28,051
You didn't go to the washroom?
774
00:37:28,126 --> 00:37:29,559
Didn't make a phone call?
775
00:37:29,627 --> 00:37:33,222
You were literally joined at
the hip to Detective Briscoe.
776
00:37:33,298 --> 00:37:35,129
Is that your testimony?
777
00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:38,464
No, I called our precinct from
the lab to report our location.
778
00:37:38,536 --> 00:37:39,594
That took about a minute.
779
00:37:39,671 --> 00:37:41,195
PAYNE: So there was
a moment at the lab
780
00:37:41,272 --> 00:37:44,241
when you and Detective Briscoe
were separated. True?
781
00:37:47,045 --> 00:37:48,137
Yes.
782
00:37:48,212 --> 00:37:53,479
All right, following your interrogation
of Richard Kovax at the precinct,
783
00:37:53,551 --> 00:37:57,954
were you convinced he was no
longer a suspect in this crime?
784
00:37:58,022 --> 00:37:59,922
No, not entirely.
785
00:37:59,991 --> 00:38:01,754
Why is that?
He had a good motive,
786
00:38:01,826 --> 00:38:04,192
and he had a window of
opportunity to commit the crime.
787
00:38:04,262 --> 00:38:08,699
Did you have a conversation with
Detective Briscoe about Mr. Kovax?
788
00:38:08,766 --> 00:38:09,755
CURTIS: Yes.
789
00:38:09,834 --> 00:38:11,768
And following
this conversation,
790
00:38:11,836 --> 00:38:14,327
did you then start looking
for other suspects?
791
00:38:15,506 --> 00:38:17,201
Yes.
So is it fair to say
792
00:38:17,275 --> 00:38:19,106
you were overruled by
your senior partner?
793
00:38:19,177 --> 00:38:20,644
Objection!
794
00:38:20,712 --> 00:38:21,940
Withdrawn.
795
00:38:23,481 --> 00:38:25,540
Just one last question.
796
00:38:25,617 --> 00:38:29,109
To your knowledge,
is Detective Briscoe Jewish?
797
00:38:29,187 --> 00:38:31,178
I don't know.
I never bothered asking.
798
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,987
Mr. Kovax spoke to a number of
foundations on behalf of the school.
799
00:38:40,064 --> 00:38:41,156
He had a knack for it.
800
00:38:41,232 --> 00:38:44,895
In your opinion, how much money
did he raise for the school?
801
00:38:44,969 --> 00:38:47,096
I'm not sure I can
give you an estimate.
802
00:38:47,171 --> 00:38:48,604
Permission to treat as hostile.
803
00:38:48,673 --> 00:38:49,867
JUDGE BUSEY: Go ahead.
804
00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:54,567
Dr. Sabloff, isn't it true,
in the past 10 years,
805
00:38:54,646 --> 00:38:57,877
your school's received
nearly $3,000,000
806
00:38:57,949 --> 00:39:00,884
from the foundations
Mr. Kovax visited?
807
00:39:00,952 --> 00:39:02,317
That's a fair estimate.
808
00:39:02,387 --> 00:39:04,753
Teacher of the Year,
top fund-raiser,
809
00:39:04,822 --> 00:39:08,121
a very valuable asset
to your school, isn't he?
810
00:39:08,192 --> 00:39:09,557
Yes, he was.
811
00:39:09,627 --> 00:39:12,619
Did you communicate as much
to Detective Briscoe?
812
00:39:13,564 --> 00:39:15,429
I suppose I did.
813
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,730
Did there come a time
when he called you
814
00:39:17,802 --> 00:39:21,829
to inquire about the whereabouts of Mr.
Kovax on the night of the murder?
815
00:39:21,906 --> 00:39:23,874
Yes, I remember that call.
816
00:39:23,941 --> 00:39:28,742
And that's when you learned your top
fund-raiser was a murder suspect.
817
00:39:28,813 --> 00:39:31,646
Yes, from Detective Briscoe.
818
00:39:31,716 --> 00:39:34,844
Look, isn't that when
you concocted this alibi
819
00:39:34,919 --> 00:39:38,184
that you saw Mr. Kovax leave the
school an hour before the murder?
820
00:39:38,256 --> 00:39:40,121
It wasn't a concoction,
it was the truth.
821
00:39:40,191 --> 00:39:41,419
And then, a short time later,
822
00:39:41,492 --> 00:39:45,087
didn't you suddenly remember my
client had a key to the school?
823
00:39:45,163 --> 00:39:46,926
I didn't suddenly
remember anything.
824
00:39:46,998 --> 00:39:48,727
Well, you didn't
mention it the first time
825
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,131
you talked to
the police, did you?
826
00:39:50,201 --> 00:39:52,863
Because I couldn't imagine that
one of my students was involved.
827
00:39:52,937 --> 00:39:55,701
But you could, once you
and Detective Briscoe
828
00:39:55,773 --> 00:39:59,140
saw my client's message in the
yearbook, isn't that right?
829
00:39:59,210 --> 00:40:01,041
Well, yes.
As a Jew,
830
00:40:01,112 --> 00:40:03,774
your passions were so
inflamed by that message,
831
00:40:03,848 --> 00:40:06,908
you made up a lie to implicate
my client, isn't that true?
832
00:40:06,984 --> 00:40:08,008
No, that's absurd.
833
00:40:08,086 --> 00:40:10,577
Just as you lied when you
and Detective Briscoe
834
00:40:10,655 --> 00:40:12,714
cooked up an alibi
for Richard Kovax.
835
00:40:12,790 --> 00:40:13,814
Absolutely not.
836
00:40:13,891 --> 00:40:16,724
Jews don't conspire with each another
to protect Jewish criminals.
837
00:40:16,794 --> 00:40:17,783
It's ridiculous.
838
00:40:17,862 --> 00:40:19,090
Oh, is it?
839
00:40:19,430 --> 00:40:22,866
Dr. Sabloff, are you familiar
with Jonathan Pollard,
840
00:40:22,934 --> 00:40:25,459
the American Jew
convicted of spying
841
00:40:25,536 --> 00:40:27,527
on our government for
the state of Israel?
842
00:40:27,605 --> 00:40:28,629
Objection! Relevance!
843
00:40:28,706 --> 00:40:30,264
Are you aware there
are massive campaigns
844
00:40:30,341 --> 00:40:32,639
by American Jewish
organizations to free him?
845
00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:34,075
JACK: Your Honor!
Objection sustained.
846
00:40:34,145 --> 00:40:36,545
Mr. Payne, find another
line of questioning.
847
00:40:36,614 --> 00:40:39,344
I have no more questions
for this witness, Your Honor.
848
00:40:43,321 --> 00:40:48,850
Dr. Sabloff, did you conspire
with anyone or lie to the police
849
00:40:48,926 --> 00:40:51,258
to falsely implicate
the defendant?
850
00:40:51,329 --> 00:40:52,387
No.
851
00:40:52,463 --> 00:40:55,261
Is Mr. Kovax still raising
money for your school?
852
00:40:55,333 --> 00:40:58,928
No, he was fired as soon as we
discovered he was selling grades.
853
00:41:01,305 --> 00:41:03,102
Hey, Counselor!
Yeah?
854
00:41:03,174 --> 00:41:06,701
Just out of curiosity, when
can I expect the cavalry?
855
00:41:06,778 --> 00:41:09,144
Detective, I know
it's unpleasant,
856
00:41:09,213 --> 00:41:10,339
but this can't be
the first time
857
00:41:10,414 --> 00:41:12,746
that a defense attorney's
questioned your credibility.
858
00:41:12,817 --> 00:41:14,648
You mean being accused
of planting evidence?
859
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,449
No, after 25 years on the
force, that I'm used to.
860
00:41:17,522 --> 00:41:18,955
What I resent is
the implication
861
00:41:19,023 --> 00:41:22,959
that anything, besides my badge,
dictates the way I do my job.
862
00:41:23,027 --> 00:41:25,052
Put me on the stand, I want
to set the record straight.
863
00:41:25,129 --> 00:41:26,653
No, I'm not making you
the issue.
864
00:41:26,731 --> 00:41:28,756
Hey, 12 people in there
already think I am.
865
00:41:28,833 --> 00:41:31,961
I repeat, Detective, this trial's
not about you. I'm sorry.
866
00:41:32,036 --> 00:41:35,870
Sure. Oh, by the way, this
whole Jewish conspiracy?
867
00:41:35,940 --> 00:41:40,104
Yes, my father was, my mother
isn't, and I was raised Catholic,
868
00:41:40,178 --> 00:41:42,544
but like you say,
it's not about me.
869
00:41:47,518 --> 00:41:50,646
MATT: At first it didn't bother
me most of the kids were Jewish.
870
00:41:50,721 --> 00:41:53,815
We were all there to learn
and get into good colleges.
871
00:41:53,891 --> 00:41:56,758
We were equals, but they
didn't see it that way.
872
00:41:56,828 --> 00:41:59,991
Yeah. Can you
explain that, Matt?
873
00:42:00,064 --> 00:42:01,998
They called me a goy.
874
00:42:02,066 --> 00:42:04,091
It was a put-down
because I was Christian.
875
00:42:04,969 --> 00:42:07,961
They always acted like
they knew more than I did.
876
00:42:08,039 --> 00:42:11,600
They were never interested
in my opinions about anything.
877
00:42:11,676 --> 00:42:14,270
It wasn't just the students.
878
00:42:14,345 --> 00:42:17,178
By all rights, I should have been
the captain of the wrestling team.
879
00:42:17,248 --> 00:42:18,613
Who did they pick?
880
00:42:18,683 --> 00:42:20,310
Stan Shatenstein.
881
00:42:21,953 --> 00:42:24,319
Did you make an effort
to get along with them?
882
00:42:24,388 --> 00:42:28,381
Yes. Last year, I went
out with a Jewish girl.
883
00:42:29,961 --> 00:42:31,394
Loren Nadel.
884
00:42:32,029 --> 00:42:35,123
I liked her.
I thought she liked me.
885
00:42:36,167 --> 00:42:37,532
Then she broke up
with me because of
886
00:42:37,602 --> 00:42:40,400
what some Jewish
kids told her about me.
887
00:42:40,471 --> 00:42:42,769
See, I don't have
a problem with Jews.
888
00:42:44,242 --> 00:42:46,574
They have a problem with me.
889
00:42:46,644 --> 00:42:48,407
Thank you, Matt.
890
00:42:51,349 --> 00:42:52,475
Matt.
891
00:42:55,253 --> 00:43:00,054
I'd like you to read out loud
from People's Exhibit 29.
892
00:43:02,727 --> 00:43:04,490
"Kill all kikes."
893
00:43:05,763 --> 00:43:08,027
Can you explain what you meant
894
00:43:08,099 --> 00:43:10,567
when you put that message
in your yearbook?
895
00:43:10,635 --> 00:43:12,432
Nothing. It was a joke.
896
00:43:12,503 --> 00:43:13,993
It wasn't even my idea.
897
00:43:14,071 --> 00:43:15,231
Whose idea was it?
898
00:43:15,306 --> 00:43:17,240
Rick Niels and Randy Ashton.
899
00:43:17,308 --> 00:43:18,832
I just went along.
900
00:43:19,944 --> 00:43:22,276
So you're not to blame,
901
00:43:22,346 --> 00:43:24,109
is that what you're saying?
Yes.
902
00:43:24,181 --> 00:43:25,580
And what about
the death threats?
903
00:43:25,650 --> 00:43:26,878
Ashton's idea.
904
00:43:26,951 --> 00:43:28,350
Also not your fault.
905
00:43:28,419 --> 00:43:29,716
That's right.
906
00:43:32,189 --> 00:43:35,454
And what about the
scholarship to Princeton?
907
00:43:35,526 --> 00:43:36,925
Who gets credit for that?
908
00:43:36,994 --> 00:43:38,086
Objection.
909
00:43:38,162 --> 00:43:39,322
JACK: Withdrawn.
910
00:43:41,666 --> 00:43:43,429
When you learned Sarah Aronson
911
00:43:43,501 --> 00:43:45,298
knew you had sent
the death threats,
912
00:43:45,369 --> 00:43:46,631
what went through your mind?
913
00:43:46,704 --> 00:43:48,001
Nothing.
I didn't know.
914
00:43:48,072 --> 00:43:51,371
Weren't you worried about
losing your scholarship? No.
915
00:43:51,442 --> 00:43:54,343
Didn't you think you'd wind
up in some community college?
916
00:43:54,412 --> 00:43:55,743
That would never happen.
917
00:43:55,813 --> 00:43:58,475
Do you know where Michael
Tobis is going next year?
918
00:43:58,549 --> 00:44:00,312
No.
He's going to Brown.
919
00:44:01,419 --> 00:44:03,944
Do you know where
John Pesner is going?
920
00:44:04,021 --> 00:44:05,386
I heard he got
accepted to Harvard.
921
00:44:05,456 --> 00:44:07,754
How about Gary Chaikin?
Yale.
922
00:44:07,825 --> 00:44:11,056
So most of the Jews in your class
were going to lvy League schools.
923
00:44:11,128 --> 00:44:13,153
Isn't that right?
Yes.
924
00:44:13,230 --> 00:44:15,494
And where did you think you'd be?
I don't know.
925
00:44:15,566 --> 00:44:17,727
Well, you wouldn't be
at Princeton, would you?
926
00:44:17,802 --> 00:44:18,894
I didn't think about that.
927
00:44:18,970 --> 00:44:21,131
And this time, you couldn't
blame anybody else, could you?
928
00:44:21,205 --> 00:44:24,038
Not your friends,
not Sarah Aronson,
929
00:44:24,108 --> 00:44:26,269
not some Jewish
conspiracy. You!
930
00:44:26,344 --> 00:44:28,437
Your fault.
You bought grades.
931
00:44:28,512 --> 00:44:30,173
You sent death threats.
No!
932
00:44:30,247 --> 00:44:32,841
In fact, it's your fault that you're
on trial for murder today, isn't it?
933
00:44:32,917 --> 00:44:33,975
No, I'm being framed!
934
00:44:34,051 --> 00:44:35,109
By who?
935
00:44:38,990 --> 00:44:43,086
The same Jews that stole
your father's business away?
936
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,184
Objection.
937
00:44:44,261 --> 00:44:47,719
In fact, it's your stupidity
that got you into this trouble,
938
00:44:47,798 --> 00:44:49,425
isn't that right?
Mr. McCoy...
939
00:44:49,500 --> 00:44:53,231
Sarah Aronson doesn't have
a damn thing to do with it.
940
00:44:53,304 --> 00:44:55,204
She's not responsible
for your failure.
941
00:44:55,272 --> 00:44:58,173
No! It was her fault!
942
00:44:58,242 --> 00:45:00,233
That kike was
going to ruin my life!
943
00:45:00,311 --> 00:45:03,303
As in the kikes you
joked about killing.
944
00:45:10,921 --> 00:45:11,979
No.
945
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,118
No further questions.
946
00:45:30,875 --> 00:45:34,311
I've sent you back four times
to continue deliberations.
947
00:45:34,378 --> 00:45:36,107
I'm inclined to do it again.
948
00:45:36,180 --> 00:45:39,479
Are you absolutely sure you're
unable to reach a verdict?
949
00:45:39,550 --> 00:45:42,212
Yes, Your Honor, we are.
950
00:45:42,286 --> 00:45:45,153
Would any further deliberations
break this deadlock?
951
00:45:46,424 --> 00:45:48,119
No, Your Honor.
952
00:45:48,192 --> 00:45:51,127
I have no choice but
to declare a mistrial.
953
00:45:51,195 --> 00:45:53,220
The jury's dismissed.
954
00:45:53,297 --> 00:45:57,131
Counsel has until next Monday
to agree to a new trial date.
955
00:46:10,681 --> 00:46:12,273
I spoke to Alice Marsdale.
956
00:46:12,349 --> 00:46:14,579
She's willing to
discuss a plea.
957
00:46:14,652 --> 00:46:17,450
Payne's not available
for another trial.
958
00:46:17,521 --> 00:46:21,890
He got his headlines, he's hitting
the Klan lecture circuit.
959
00:46:21,959 --> 00:46:23,085
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
960
00:46:25,663 --> 00:46:27,654
CNN interviewed
one of the jurors.
961
00:46:27,731 --> 00:46:29,665
The vote was 11
to one to convict.
962
00:46:32,303 --> 00:46:33,793
One hold-out.
963
00:46:35,206 --> 00:46:36,639
I wonder which one.
964
00:46:37,541 --> 00:46:39,736
Well, whoever it is,
they blended right in.
965
00:46:39,810 --> 00:46:43,405
What else is new?
Next case.
