1
00:00:06,340 --> 00:00:07,899
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:08,175 --> 00:00:11,839
the People are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:12,145 --> 00:00:13,840
the police
who investigate crime
4
00:00:13,981 --> 00:00:16,507
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:16,850 --> 00:00:18,215
These are their stories.
6
00:00:20,487 --> 00:00:21,648
Mickey, where are you?
7
00:00:21,722 --> 00:00:22,883
MICKEY: Tenth.
8
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:25,926
My grandmother would've
been up there by now.
9
00:00:25,993 --> 00:00:28,985
I think I'm having a heart
attack.
10
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:31,731
A little exercise would do
you some good.
11
00:00:31,932 --> 00:00:33,798
Yeah. So would a beer.
12
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:36,336
GIGGS: Well, you get the damn
thing running. I'll buy the beer.
13
00:00:36,403 --> 00:00:38,098
Twelve. Oh, my God.
14
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:51,147
Someone's damn purse
is blocking the door.
15
00:00:51,952 --> 00:00:53,181
(ELEVATOR WHIRRING)
16
00:00:53,353 --> 00:00:55,981
Mr. Fix-It.
Okay, car's coming down.
17
00:01:32,726 --> 00:01:34,558
Doorman said she came in
around 11:15.
18
00:01:34,628 --> 00:01:36,062
Super found her
just after midnight.
19
00:01:36,463 --> 00:01:37,521
Any traffic
through the lobby?
20
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,128
Just a few tenants.
21
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:41,930
He said she was the last one he saw
in or out of the building tonight.
22
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,264
Cash and credit cards
are still here.
23
00:01:44,638 --> 00:01:46,800
Serena Darby,
Darby Publishing.
24
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:48,702
I've heard of it.
25
00:01:50,410 --> 00:01:52,071
The super says she
lives in 12-B.
26
00:01:52,145 --> 00:01:55,581
Well, here you go. Looks like she never
even made it into the apartment.
27
00:01:58,151 --> 00:01:59,812
I'll start looking
around.
28
00:02:00,687 --> 00:02:02,917
Looks like she kissed the
wall half a dozen times.
29
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:06,152
Pieces of plaster in nose and mouth.
And some teeth are missing.
30
00:02:06,226 --> 00:02:10,823
Yeah, C.S.U. found two over there. Probably
hit her as soon as she got the elevator.
31
00:02:11,198 --> 00:02:12,757
You think the assault
killed her?
32
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:15,530
Took her halfway home at least.
But see the color?
33
00:02:15,802 --> 00:02:18,635
Plethoric: face from strangulation.
That's how she went.
34
00:02:19,773 --> 00:02:20,797
I thought I
recognized the name.
35
00:02:20,874 --> 00:02:24,833
She was just in the news. Serena Darby's
publisher of J.P. Lange's new book.
36
00:02:24,945 --> 00:02:27,915
Right. About how he hypothetically
would've killed his wife.
37
00:02:27,981 --> 00:02:30,211
Yeah. She's got stacks of them
on her dining table.
38
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:31,977
The picture alone
looks guilty.
39
00:02:32,052 --> 00:02:34,111
Well, the 12 people that
mattered didn't think so.
40
00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:35,586
Justice is blind.
41
00:02:35,656 --> 00:02:38,455
I can't imagine anybody would read
this book even if it was free.
42
00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:40,823
Well, from what I hear they're
not gonna get to anyway.
43
00:02:40,894 --> 00:02:42,919
What do you mean? So many
people are pissed off.
44
00:02:42,996 --> 00:02:44,589
Stores are
refusing to sell the book.
45
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:46,326
Even her company's
dropping it.
46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,834
Good.
47
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,437
Maybe somebody thought
that wasn't good enough.
48
00:03:47,194 --> 00:03:49,720
C.S.U. got a couple dozen lifts
from the stairwell and hallway.
49
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:52,265
Well, it's gonna take
a few days to run all those.
50
00:03:52,332 --> 00:03:53,959
What about this
woman's family?
51
00:03:54,034 --> 00:03:56,696
Just a brother. He's coming down
from Boston this afternoon.
52
00:03:56,770 --> 00:04:00,331
Well, I'll sit with him. Every tabloid in
this city is sniffing around this case.
53
00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:02,205
I don't want you
wasting time.
54
00:04:02,309 --> 00:04:03,538
They caught
the scent early.
55
00:04:03,610 --> 00:04:06,136
They were parked outside her
place at 8:00 a.m. this morning.
56
00:04:06,213 --> 00:04:09,615
Any idea how our suspect slipped
past the lobby surveillance?
57
00:04:09,683 --> 00:04:12,209
Well, according to the super there's
some teenagers in the building
58
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:14,845
that sneak out the fire exit
door to smoke cigarettes.
59
00:04:14,988 --> 00:04:16,319
We checked the door.
It was unlocked.
60
00:04:16,389 --> 00:04:17,515
It would've been
an easy in and out.
61
00:04:17,591 --> 00:04:19,559
And no one in the place
saw anything?
62
00:04:19,626 --> 00:04:21,025
We canvassed
the entire building.
63
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:23,119
There were two tenants at home
at the time of the murder.
64
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:24,994
One guy had his home theater
cranked way up.
65
00:04:25,065 --> 00:04:26,555
And the lady that lives
at the end of the hall
66
00:04:26,633 --> 00:04:29,000
thinks she heard a man and a woman
arguing and doors being slammed.
67
00:04:29,136 --> 00:04:33,073
Which actually could've been the
victim's face slamming against the wall.
68
00:04:33,406 --> 00:04:36,000
Is there any chance
this was a random attack?
69
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:37,833
I don't think so.
Too much rage.
70
00:04:37,911 --> 00:04:40,243
What about a boyfriend or ex?
71
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:43,442
Well, there was nothing in the apartment that
made me think she was in a relationship.
72
00:04:43,517 --> 00:04:45,815
And the doorman said she just
comes home to sleep. Alone.
73
00:04:45,886 --> 00:04:49,117
There wasn't much of anything in her apartment
except for copies of J.P. Lange's book.
74
00:04:49,289 --> 00:04:51,781
Well, that's a good
place to start.
75
00:04:54,494 --> 00:04:58,055
Lange's book is turning into the
publishing disaster of the year,
76
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,600
maybe of the decade.
How so?
77
00:05:00,667 --> 00:05:03,398
By pulling the book off the market,
the company's eating the advance,
78
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:05,370
losing future and rights.
79
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:08,635
Not to mention the hundred thousand
copies they already printed.
80
00:05:08,708 --> 00:05:10,301
How much money are we
talking about here?
81
00:05:10,377 --> 00:05:12,641
Easily five
or six million.
82
00:05:13,346 --> 00:05:15,542
Oh, my God,
I can't believe she's dead.
83
00:05:15,615 --> 00:05:18,175
Look, all those people that
were angry about Lange's book,
84
00:05:18,251 --> 00:05:20,015
any specific threats
towards Serena?
85
00:05:20,086 --> 00:05:21,315
Just lawsuits.
86
00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:23,083
How was Serena
handling it?
87
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:26,258
She was angry, humiliated.
88
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:28,294
I stayed out of her way
this week.
89
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:29,826
Tough boss?
90
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,957
You have no idea.
91
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:34,395
What time did she leave
the office last night?
92
00:05:34,968 --> 00:05:36,197
Around 9:00.
93
00:05:36,269 --> 00:05:38,499
Did she say where she was going?
Was she meeting anybody?
94
00:05:38,572 --> 00:05:39,903
I don't know.
95
00:05:39,973 --> 00:05:41,964
Was Serena seeing anyone?
Dating?
96
00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:45,035
Definitely not. Most of her
calls went through me.
97
00:05:45,979 --> 00:05:48,107
Okay, so who did she
talk to yesterday?
98
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:51,817
Uh, her lawyer, the C.E.O.,
the company's general counsel.
99
00:05:52,118 --> 00:05:53,552
J.P. Lange a few times.
100
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,051
What were the ones
with Lange about?
101
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:58,924
It sounded pretty typical on her end.
Uh, except the last one.
102
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:02,889
I mean, she always yells on the
phone, but this was different.
103
00:06:02,996 --> 00:06:06,057
Harsher. After that, she
wouldn't take his calls.
104
00:06:07,067 --> 00:06:09,832
Hey. I wanted to write a memoir
about my baseball career.
105
00:06:10,103 --> 00:06:12,629
Writing about the murder,
that was Serena's idea.
106
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:16,505
So what was that little argument you had
on the phone with her yesterday about?
107
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:18,843
She was talking about selling
the book to another publisher.
108
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:20,806
I told her forget it,
I'm not interested.
109
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:23,112
You were just
gonna walk away?
110
00:06:23,183 --> 00:06:25,174
What do you think? I went
looking for this aggravation?
111
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:27,278
I think you went
looking for cash.
112
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:28,544
So what?
113
00:06:28,622 --> 00:06:30,681
All that money dried up, though,
since the book got pulled, right?
114
00:06:30,757 --> 00:06:31,849
No, you got it wrong.
115
00:06:31,925 --> 00:06:34,724
I got a civil judgment against
me to the tune of 20 million.
116
00:06:34,794 --> 00:06:37,058
Every penny I ever
make is spoken for.
117
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:38,859
You didn't do
the book for free?
118
00:06:38,965 --> 00:06:41,525
The advance went straight
into my daughter's trust.
119
00:06:41,601 --> 00:06:44,263
And any profit was to
go to charity.
120
00:06:44,638 --> 00:06:46,902
So, um, how much does
this place cost a month?
121
00:06:47,107 --> 00:06:49,508
My baseball pension
keeps the lights on.
122
00:06:49,876 --> 00:06:50,866
That's all I got.
123
00:06:51,044 --> 00:06:53,638
All right, man, look. Where were you
last night between 11:00 and midnight?
124
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:56,642
Right here. Watching the Knicks game.
Alone.
125
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:58,040
I don't get out much.
126
00:06:58,618 --> 00:07:01,087
And with these paparazzi
vultures you brought with you,
127
00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:03,716
I'm probably not going
anywhere anytime soon.
128
00:07:03,790 --> 00:07:06,760
Well, this isn't exactly the prison
you belong in, though, is it?
129
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:10,397
Your partner's got
some mouth on her.
130
00:07:11,164 --> 00:07:13,531
You do have a history. We can't
pretend that didn't happen.
131
00:07:13,767 --> 00:07:18,261
Huh. What happened was that some bad cops
tried to frame me for my wife's murder.
132
00:07:19,005 --> 00:07:21,565
Now Serena gets killed,
and I'm your first stop?
133
00:07:22,575 --> 00:07:24,407
It's like d?j? vu
all over again.
134
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:30,607
Look, Serena and I were both being
harassed. And not just by the tabloids.
135
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:32,707
All right?
Don raised holy hell.
136
00:07:32,886 --> 00:07:36,914
He got my book buried. He wanted Serena's
head on a platter, right next to mine.
137
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:39,449
Don Lampard,
your father-in-law.
138
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:42,925
Former father-in-law.
139
00:07:44,597 --> 00:07:47,123
I'd gone over to Jenny's
apartment that morning.
140
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,759
We were gonna go
jogging in the park.
141
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:51,805
Five police cars out front.
An ambulance.
142
00:07:52,005 --> 00:07:54,565
I knew that son-of-a-bitch
had done something to her.
143
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:58,276
I'd just buried her mother three months
before that. Jenny was all I had left.
144
00:07:58,645 --> 00:08:02,309
Well, I'm sure Lange writing
about the murder didn't help.
145
00:08:03,516 --> 00:08:06,144
That book is blood money.
My daughter's blood.
146
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:07,744
Well, we heard the money
wasn't going to him.
147
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:10,313
Right, that it was earmarked
for some charity?
148
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:13,058
Baloney.
The deal was a sham.
149
00:08:13,126 --> 00:08:14,287
How do you mean sham?
150
00:08:14,394 --> 00:08:17,091
Serena Darby's been paying
Lange under table.
151
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:20,599
Itemized under research
costs, over 200 grand so far.
152
00:08:21,568 --> 00:08:23,127
You know this for a fact?
153
00:08:23,203 --> 00:08:26,366
I'm filing a lawsuit with Virgil
Publishing and Darby Books because of it.
154
00:08:27,807 --> 00:08:30,572
Did Serena Darby
know you planned to sue?
155
00:08:30,643 --> 00:08:33,203
The C.E.O. of Virgil Publishing,
Dean Savitsky knew.
156
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,909
I told him last week. I assume
he had words with her then.
157
00:08:36,983 --> 00:08:39,782
And I assume that accounts for why they've
been trying to pay me to go away.
158
00:08:40,086 --> 00:08:41,076
I take it
you weren't interested?
159
00:08:41,154 --> 00:08:44,249
I told them to go to hell.
And I wanted Serena fired.
160
00:08:44,691 --> 00:08:46,750
On that point,
he said it was done.
161
00:08:47,761 --> 00:08:50,458
The advance came out of
Serena's discretionary money.
162
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,728
I didn't know about the project
until we were so pregnant with it
163
00:08:54,134 --> 00:08:55,124
we had to see it through.
164
00:08:55,902 --> 00:08:59,429
The book was in poor taste. Now
it's a public relations nightmare.
165
00:08:59,873 --> 00:09:01,272
How did Serena
take the bad news?
166
00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:05,067
Actually, I was planning on firing
her this afternoon, at lunch.
167
00:09:05,512 --> 00:09:07,708
You called Don Lampard last
night and said it was done.
168
00:09:08,148 --> 00:09:09,479
As good as done.
169
00:09:09,783 --> 00:09:12,548
Serena had been trying to find a way
to fix things with Mr. Lampard.
170
00:09:12,986 --> 00:09:14,385
You mean pay him off?
171
00:09:14,487 --> 00:09:15,648
SAVITSKY: Apologize.
172
00:09:16,122 --> 00:09:19,092
And offer a settlement if the
lawsuit and public fury went away.
173
00:09:19,159 --> 00:09:20,149
She was making progress.
174
00:09:20,460 --> 00:09:21,621
He was interested?
175
00:09:21,694 --> 00:09:23,355
SAVITSKY: Interested
in jerking us around.
176
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:28,123
Serena had arranged a dinner at Cafe du
Jardin for the two of them to settle things.
177
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:29,965
She called me last night
and said he'd stood her up.
178
00:09:30,770 --> 00:09:33,569
That's why I finally intervened
and contacted him myself.
179
00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:36,543
He was happy with your
decision to fire Serena?
180
00:09:36,643 --> 00:09:38,805
I'm not sure anything
will satisfy his anger.
181
00:09:39,546 --> 00:09:41,071
He's certainly not
dropping the lawsuit.
182
00:09:42,549 --> 00:09:46,008
Lampard never mentioned the sit-down he
was supposed to have with Serena Darby.
183
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:49,147
But he didn't show. So, if he was
looking for a confrontation,
184
00:09:49,222 --> 00:09:50,553
he missed his chance.
185
00:09:50,623 --> 00:09:53,820
Virgil's C.E.O. called him at home.
That argument could've set him off.
186
00:09:53,893 --> 00:09:55,418
He meets up with Serena
at her apartment.
187
00:09:55,495 --> 00:09:56,519
Is she listed?
188
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:59,122
Yeah, her address was on the suit
he filed against Darby Books.
189
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:01,930
Well, latents finished comparisons
on the lifts from the scene.
190
00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:04,993
All but five come back to
people living in the building.
191
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:07,301
Lampard works for the city.
They run prints too?
192
00:10:07,373 --> 00:10:10,866
His and Lange's.
Neither popped up.
193
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:13,671
Well, it's cold outside, they
could've been wearing gloves.
194
00:10:13,746 --> 00:10:17,011
Well, if I was him, she'd be the
second person I'd want to kill.
195
00:10:17,083 --> 00:10:18,448
LUDs from Lampard's
home phone.
196
00:10:18,518 --> 00:10:21,852
He got the call from Virgil's C.E.O.
10:22 p.m. the night of the murder.
197
00:10:22,155 --> 00:10:23,486
That still gives him time
to get uptown.
198
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:24,921
And I checked
with the restaurant,
199
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:26,959
they confirmed Serena
Darby was there last night.
200
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:29,825
But get this,
her tab was 188 bucks.
201
00:10:30,263 --> 00:10:33,756
Oh, there's no way she ran up a
bill that high dining alone.
202
00:10:36,936 --> 00:10:38,836
MAYYRE D': Miss Darby
was here 9:30 to 11:00.
203
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:42,000
She insisted on a table in
the back corner. Thank you.
204
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:47,346
Here we go, dinner, rack of lamb,
then, five drinks, two desserts.
205
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,004
Who was she with?
206
00:10:49,082 --> 00:10:51,779
Some guyjoined her near the end of her
dinner. They had a couple drinks.
207
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:54,249
I seated a couple
at the next table.
208
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:56,952
Sounded like Miss Darby and her
friend were getting into it.
209
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:58,047
Arguing?
210
00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:00,320
They struggled to keep their voices down.
She was upset.
211
00:11:01,060 --> 00:11:03,995
And then he stuck her with the bill.
No class.
212
00:11:04,697 --> 00:11:08,133
Was this an older guy,
around sixty? Grey hair?
213
00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:10,100
No, younger than that.
214
00:11:10,837 --> 00:11:13,738
Sort of looked like that guy who
killed his wife, the baseball player.
215
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,509
Oh, my two favorite cops.
(GRUNTS)
216
00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:26,052
What's your
best average, J.P.?
217
00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:27,814
Three thirty-nine?
Three forty?
218
00:11:27,887 --> 00:11:29,787
Three forty-seven.
The year we won the series.
219
00:11:29,856 --> 00:11:31,824
You can remember some number
from 10 years ago.
220
00:11:31,891 --> 00:11:34,986
But you don't remember having dinner
with Serena the night she was killed?
221
00:11:35,094 --> 00:11:36,653
(PANTING)
222
00:11:36,729 --> 00:11:39,960
You ever eat there?
It's pretty forgettable.
223
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,467
Look, man. Why don't you
come down to our place,
224
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:42,797
clear up some
misunderstandings.
225
00:11:42,869 --> 00:11:44,200
We'll have you
back here in a minute.
226
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:46,531
You got nothing to hide,
right, J.P.?
227
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:53,769
This better not take long.
228
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:01,652
You lied to us about seeing
Serena Darby that night.
229
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:04,651
It was none of your business.
Here.
230
00:12:04,757 --> 00:12:07,124
You had an argument.
An hour later she killed.
231
00:12:07,193 --> 00:12:08,786
It's pretty obvious
how that looks.
232
00:12:10,163 --> 00:12:12,791
We had a conversation about
a personal matter. Thafsit
233
00:12:13,233 --> 00:12:15,497
That personal matter have
anything to do with money?
234
00:12:15,868 --> 00:12:16,858
Kickbacks from that book?
235
00:12:17,704 --> 00:12:19,035
We know she was paying
you under the table.
236
00:12:19,105 --> 00:12:23,269
Don Lampard found out about it and he came after
you both for violating the civil judgment.
237
00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:24,777
CASSADY:
That's why you argued.
238
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:25,868
I didn't kill her.
239
00:12:25,945 --> 00:12:28,642
You've been using that line for four
years, since you murdered your wife.
240
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:30,105
I didn't do that either.
241
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:31,843
Man, everybody knows about
your legendary temper.
242
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:34,649
All those dugouts that got cleared
because you started a fight.
243
00:12:34,821 --> 00:12:37,415
Then you retire, you start beating
on your wife and she ends up dead.
244
00:12:37,490 --> 00:12:38,821
Now Serena pissed you off.
245
00:12:38,891 --> 00:12:41,952
And this isn't hypothetical
like your book, J.P.
246
00:12:42,028 --> 00:12:44,258
I saw you working
that heavy bag.
247
00:12:44,364 --> 00:12:48,392
Tell me, how'd Serena
like your right hook?
248
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:51,402
There's that mouth again.
249
00:12:53,172 --> 00:12:54,162
Am I under arrest?
250
00:12:54,574 --> 00:12:56,064
No. You can leave.
251
00:12:58,378 --> 00:13:00,107
We ain't done with you
yet, though.
252
00:13:03,383 --> 00:13:07,013
All right, I'll tell you, since
you're gonna find out anyway.
253
00:13:09,422 --> 00:13:11,288
Serena and I were
seeing each other.
254
00:13:11,357 --> 00:13:13,052
Strictly sex,
not a relationship.
255
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:17,696
The last few times we got
together, she started to get
256
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:20,290
clingy, attached.
257
00:13:20,667 --> 00:13:22,635
Started talking about
going to Saint Bart's.
258
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:28,035
Can you imagine, being alone on
an island with that crazy bitch?
259
00:13:29,575 --> 00:13:32,510
Anyway, once the publisher
decided to cancel my book,
260
00:13:32,712 --> 00:13:34,976
I figured I should cut bait
with Serena as well.
261
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:38,678
You broke it off with her.
LANGE: I tried.
262
00:13:38,918 --> 00:13:40,943
Serena wasn't the type of girl
who was used to getting dumped.
263
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,144
That's why we argued.
264
00:13:42,989 --> 00:13:44,047
So, how'd you end it?
265
00:13:45,391 --> 00:13:50,090
She had a copy of my book in her bag.
I signed it and gave it back to her.
266
00:13:50,997 --> 00:13:52,522
Kinda like a
goodbye present.
267
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:56,068
Then I walked outta the restaurant
and I never saw her again.
268
00:13:56,302 --> 00:13:59,397
You signed the book?
What'd you write?
269
00:13:59,505 --> 00:14:01,439
"Screw you."
270
00:14:02,742 --> 00:14:05,268
I figured I couldn't have made
it any clearer how I felt.
271
00:14:06,612 --> 00:14:08,512
If Serena and Lange were
getting it on,
272
00:14:08,581 --> 00:14:10,879
he could've known about using that
fire door to get into the building.
273
00:14:10,950 --> 00:14:14,079
Well, then they were keeping that affair
secret, 'cause nobody had a clue about it.
274
00:14:14,153 --> 00:14:17,350
Well, can we confirm
anything about his story?
275
00:14:17,423 --> 00:14:20,449
The secretary said she did have a
copy of Lange's book in her bag
276
00:14:20,526 --> 00:14:21,755
when she left
the office that night.
277
00:14:21,828 --> 00:14:23,887
ED: But we didn't find one
at the scene.
278
00:14:23,963 --> 00:14:25,488
So the killer walked
away with it?
279
00:14:25,565 --> 00:14:27,329
Unless Lange wasn't
telling us the real story.
280
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,165
Well, we can't arrest him if that's
all you got. ED: That's all we got.
281
00:14:30,269 --> 00:14:31,361
What about Lampard?
282
00:14:31,471 --> 00:14:32,905
Well, we haven't ruled
him out completely.
283
00:14:32,972 --> 00:14:37,102
But if what Lange's saying is true, I don't
see Lampard taking the book with him.
284
00:14:37,176 --> 00:14:39,873
Well, you need to verify Lange's
version one way or the other.
285
00:14:39,946 --> 00:14:42,472
That book could be on a trash barge
halfway up the Hudson by now.
286
00:14:42,548 --> 00:14:44,812
Look, even I would've pulled
it outta the garbage.
287
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:48,115
Stolen copies are popping up
on eBay for a thousand bucks.
288
00:14:48,187 --> 00:14:49,382
Needle in a haystack.
289
00:14:49,455 --> 00:14:51,981
So, go shopping.
See what you can find.
290
00:14:57,597 --> 00:15:00,567
So I posted an ad looking to buy an
autographed copy of Lange's book.
291
00:15:00,633 --> 00:15:01,930
Somebody bit?
292
00:15:02,001 --> 00:15:03,560
Good news and bad news.
293
00:15:03,703 --> 00:15:07,435
I got about 60 responses.
Obviously most of them are fakes.
294
00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:08,870
How much did you offer?
295
00:15:08,941 --> 00:15:11,376
Hundred thousand.
I figured you were good for it
296
00:15:12,011 --> 00:15:14,605
CASSADY: What about that one? It says
they can authenticate the signature.
297
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:16,772
You want me to write back? Yeah.
298
00:15:17,183 --> 00:15:19,880
Hey, tell them we gotta see the
book in person before we buy it.
299
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:23,951
I compared the signature to some
of Lange's sports autographs.
300
00:15:24,223 --> 00:15:25,554
Looked the same to me.
301
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:26,615
Where'd you get it?
302
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:30,595
Some dude contacted me through
my website, deathjunky.com.
303
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:31,853
Can't say
I've heard of it.
304
00:15:31,964 --> 00:15:36,060
Oh, I collect stuff. You know, related
to serial killers, famous murders.
305
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:37,733
I get the idea.
306
00:15:38,004 --> 00:15:41,030
Yeah well, I paid four
thousand bucks for the book.
307
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:45,476
That's like three Manson letters
or a Gacy painting, easy.
308
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,678
I cracked it by the way.
309
00:15:47,747 --> 00:15:50,409
Reads like a real confession.
310
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:52,575
So I'm not getting
a hundred grand?
311
00:15:52,785 --> 00:15:55,652
Uh, no. And we can't give you
the book back either. Sorry.
312
00:15:57,690 --> 00:16:00,318
CASSADY: Oh. Looks like Lange's
telling the truth about something.
313
00:16:00,827 --> 00:16:01,851
Who sold you this?
314
00:16:02,195 --> 00:16:03,185
Here ya go.
315
00:16:04,130 --> 00:16:07,430
I paid the money into an online
account to Gerald Stockwell.
316
00:16:08,935 --> 00:16:10,266
(BUZZER)
317
00:16:11,204 --> 00:16:12,831
This is the address
he listed on the account.
318
00:16:13,139 --> 00:16:15,506
Well, it's a different name on the buzzer.
Maybe a roommate?
319
00:16:17,743 --> 00:16:18,733
(sums)
320
00:16:21,414 --> 00:16:22,506
How long you wanna wait?
321
00:16:23,149 --> 00:16:24,139
My day's open.
322
00:16:24,684 --> 00:16:25,674
(CHUCKLES)
323
00:16:32,592 --> 00:16:33,582
Hey, man,
324
00:16:34,193 --> 00:16:35,183
you live here?
325
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:37,487
You know Gerald
Stockwell, 4-B?
326
00:16:38,865 --> 00:16:39,855
Oh, damn it!
327
00:16:43,703 --> 00:16:45,228
Get your ass back here.
328
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:48,230
What?
329
00:16:49,075 --> 00:16:50,304
What are you doing?
Your hands.
330
00:16:51,711 --> 00:16:53,736
Whaddya know?
Gerald Stockwell.
331
00:16:53,846 --> 00:16:55,974
I don't have money, okay?
I can't pay you right now.
332
00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:57,038
Who do you think
we are?
333
00:16:57,116 --> 00:16:58,641
What? You're cops?
Homicide.
334
00:16:58,718 --> 00:17:01,312
Homicide, what? I didn't do anything!
I didn't do anything!
335
00:17:01,654 --> 00:17:02,780
They always say that
when they run.
336
00:17:04,891 --> 00:17:07,417
Gerald Stockwell's the
ghostwriter on Lange's book.
337
00:17:07,527 --> 00:17:09,655
Serena Darby fired him
after his first draft.
338
00:17:09,862 --> 00:17:12,593
I hear firing writers
was her hobby.
339
00:17:12,832 --> 00:17:16,325
According to the assistant, Serena
also promised to publish his novel.
340
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:18,402
Two months ago, she
backed out of the deal.
341
00:17:18,571 --> 00:17:21,404
And that set him off? That's
a long lead up to murder.
342
00:17:21,941 --> 00:17:23,705
Yeah, but then she
wouldn't give it back.
343
00:17:24,010 --> 00:17:26,069
Owned it but
refused to publish it.
344
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:29,079
So she killed his novel, he
might've returned the favor.
345
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:32,276
The M.E. didn't find any
foreign DNA under her nails.
346
00:17:32,451 --> 00:17:35,910
But the blood spatter from the book
he sold leads right to Serena Darby.
347
00:17:37,189 --> 00:17:39,920
Okay, let's see what
he has to say about it.
348
00:17:42,328 --> 00:17:43,318
Sit down, Jerry.
349
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:46,526
I swear to God,
I didn't kill anybody!
350
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:47,589
Then Why'd you run?
351
00:17:47,934 --> 00:17:49,402
I borrowed some money
from some people.
352
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,436
They've been after me.
I thought that's who you were.
353
00:17:51,504 --> 00:17:53,199
Where were you the night
Serena Darby was killed?
354
00:17:53,306 --> 00:17:54,569
I'm home every night.
Writing.
355
00:17:54,874 --> 00:17:56,467
Alone?
Yeah, I was alone.
356
00:17:56,576 --> 00:17:57,566
Where'd you get
the book?
357
00:17:57,643 --> 00:17:58,633
What book?
358
00:17:59,011 --> 00:18:01,537
J.P. Lange's, with the
autograph inside the cover.
359
00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:03,480
The one you sold
to the website.
360
00:18:03,749 --> 00:18:06,116
It showed up on my doorstep. I
figured Serena messengered it to me.
361
00:18:06,185 --> 00:18:07,846
Why'd he write "screw
you" in the book?
362
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:09,183
'Cause he hates my guts.
363
00:18:09,589 --> 00:18:10,920
He had Serena
fire me off the project.
364
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:13,185
I thought it was one last dig after
the book blew up in his face.
365
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:14,920
That sounds
pretty thin, Jerry.
366
00:18:15,027 --> 00:18:16,017
Look, I'm telling you
the truth!
367
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,563
Sit your ass down!
368
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:23,929
Why'd you sell
the book?
369
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,798
'Cause I needed
to eat this month.
370
00:18:26,505 --> 00:18:29,338
You needed money because Serena
Darby wouldn't publish your novel.
371
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:30,739
Then she wouldn't
give it back.
372
00:18:31,043 --> 00:18:32,135
I bet that set you off.
373
00:18:32,211 --> 00:18:34,043
Yeah, but that doesn't mean
that I killed her!
374
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,975
We found your fingerprints
at the crime scene.
375
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:37,975
What?
You heard what I said.
376
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:40,519
Found your fingerprints at the crime scene.
Where she was beaten to death.
377
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:41,917
You went to her
apartment that night.
378
00:18:42,021 --> 00:18:43,648
No, I didn't!
Then explain these.
379
00:18:43,756 --> 00:18:46,316
I do not know. I went to her
place a couple of times.
380
00:18:46,392 --> 00:18:47,791
To drop off revisions.
That's it.
381
00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:49,487
We have your fingerprints
at the crime scene
382
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:51,462
and the victim's blood
on the book you sold.
383
00:18:51,530 --> 00:18:52,929
That book didn't just
drop outta the sky.
384
00:18:54,867 --> 00:18:55,857
Gerald,
385
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:58,961
you got one shot
to be straight with us.
386
00:18:59,205 --> 00:19:01,867
Yeah, and I'm telling you the truth.
You got the wrong guy.
387
00:19:04,777 --> 00:19:06,745
All right,
now you can stand up.
388
00:19:09,215 --> 00:19:12,742
Gerald Stockwell, you're under arrest
for the murder of Serena Darby.
389
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:14,013
What?
You know,
390
00:19:14,186 --> 00:19:15,915
for awriter,
you're a hell of an actor.
391
00:19:16,122 --> 00:19:17,351
You have the right
to remain silent.
392
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:19,550
Anything you say can be used
against you in a court of law.
393
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:20,885
You have the right
to an attorney...
394
00:19:24,830 --> 00:19:28,494
"Docket number 84213,
People v. Gerald Stockwell.
395
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:30,035
"Charge is murder
in the second degree."
396
00:19:30,269 --> 00:19:31,862
I'll take your plea,
Mr. Stockwell.
397
00:19:32,238 --> 00:19:33,228
Not guilty.
398
00:19:33,339 --> 00:19:34,500
The People ask
for remand.
399
00:19:34,974 --> 00:19:36,738
We request R.O.R.,
Your Honor.
400
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:38,975
How about some
middle ground, counselors?
401
00:19:39,078 --> 00:19:41,012
Judge, they barely have a
case against my client.
402
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,480
We can tie the defendant
to the scene of the crime.
403
00:19:43,649 --> 00:19:46,380
He broke into the victim's building where
he beat and strangled her to death.
404
00:19:47,086 --> 00:19:49,612
Not exactly the type of fella we
want running around, Miss Bocanegra.
405
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:52,419
Your Honor, my client lacks the
means to make even the lowest bail.
406
00:19:52,491 --> 00:19:54,186
Then it's easy,
we'll let him stay put.
407
00:19:54,727 --> 00:19:55,717
I'm remanding the defendant.
408
00:19:55,928 --> 00:19:56,918
(GAVEL POUNDS)
409
00:20:00,633 --> 00:20:03,500
If you had a better case,
Jack, you wouldn't be here.
410
00:20:04,370 --> 00:20:06,566
I've proven harder
cases with less.
411
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:08,666
We're here to listen.
412
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:11,802
Maybe Mr. Stockwell wants to
share his side of the story.
413
00:20:12,344 --> 00:20:14,472
I didn't kill Serena,
I swear.
414
00:20:15,481 --> 00:20:17,472
As you've heard, my client
maintains he's innocent.
415
00:20:18,017 --> 00:20:19,746
He's a writer.
He makes things up.
416
00:20:19,819 --> 00:20:22,413
Well, he's not interested in a deal
and I don't think he should plead.
417
00:20:22,521 --> 00:20:25,252
He sold a book spattered
with Serena Darby's blood
418
00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:26,655
two days after
her murder.
419
00:20:26,859 --> 00:20:30,022
He knew where she lived and doesn't
have an alibi to say he didn't stop by.
420
00:20:30,396 --> 00:20:32,455
Call it opportunity
and motive.
421
00:20:32,531 --> 00:20:34,898
I told you, someone dropped
that book at my door.
422
00:20:35,301 --> 00:20:36,291
I don't believe this!
423
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:38,336
JACK: Taking some things
into consideration.
424
00:20:38,404 --> 00:20:40,930
If Mr. Stockwell
went there that night
425
00:20:41,006 --> 00:20:45,000
without the intention of committing
murder, but the argument escalated,
426
00:20:46,512 --> 00:20:49,709
I think man one,
15 years, is fair.
427
00:20:50,116 --> 00:20:52,107
Fifteen?
Are you kidding?
428
00:20:52,718 --> 00:20:54,743
The alternative with a conviction, Mr.
Stockwell,
429
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,618
is 25-to-life.
430
00:20:57,123 --> 00:20:58,557
JACK: Quite
a writer's retreat.
431
00:20:59,492 --> 00:21:03,122
I don't think it took Tolstoy half
that long to crank out War and Peace.
432
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:06,361
Okay, so, what if
I knew something?
433
00:21:06,899 --> 00:21:09,732
I'm being serious. Maybe we could
work things out if I told you?
434
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:12,662
Is there room here
to trade, Jack?
435
00:21:13,672 --> 00:21:15,936
Some.
I'd need to hear it.
436
00:21:18,077 --> 00:21:19,977
I've got interviews
I did for the book.
437
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:21,774
In one of them,
438
00:21:22,014 --> 00:21:23,607
Lange admits to
killing his wife.
439
00:21:24,383 --> 00:21:26,408
And not hypothetically,
if he killed her.
440
00:21:26,685 --> 00:21:28,449
The real thing,
a confession.
441
00:21:29,021 --> 00:21:30,455
His voice, his words.
442
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:34,015
He can shout it from the Empire
State Building. He was acquitted.
443
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:37,854
I can't do anything about it.
And it's no use to you.
444
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:39,896
Even if he bribed ajuror
to beat the charge?
445
00:21:41,500 --> 00:21:42,490
Excuse me?
446
00:21:42,568 --> 00:21:43,558
He told me off the record.
447
00:21:44,236 --> 00:21:46,534
He said he bought his walk
by bribing ajuror.
448
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:51,834
Double jeopardy aside, Jack.
449
00:21:52,244 --> 00:21:53,803
I can't believe you're not
gonna touch this one.
450
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,704
Lange was your case.
451
00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:06,082
Could there be anything
to this bribery claim?
452
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:09,420
I'd like to think I didn't lose
the trial completely on my own.
453
00:22:10,162 --> 00:22:13,291
But nothing happened at the time to cause
you to think twice about the verdict?
454
00:22:14,967 --> 00:22:16,093
We took some hits.
455
00:22:17,570 --> 00:22:21,131
The defense insinuated that the
detectives on the case set him up.
456
00:22:21,207 --> 00:22:23,369
I thought I addressed it
in my closing, but then,
457
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:26,267
you don't know.
458
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:29,843
From what I remember reading, the
jury deadlocked three times, right?
459
00:22:30,749 --> 00:22:32,012
Could mean someone
was holding out.
460
00:22:32,184 --> 00:22:34,949
It doesn't take tampering to get
the wrong verdict out of ajury.
461
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:37,847
Well, let's say it turns out to be true.
What's our recourse?
462
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:40,117
Lange's protected by double
jeopardy on the murder.
463
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:43,123
Even an acquittal based on fraud
wouldn't get past an appeal.
464
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:46,295
I'm not gonna let it go if he
cheated his way out the door.
465
00:22:46,932 --> 00:22:50,891
Between jury tampering and bribery,
he could get solid prison time.
466
00:22:53,072 --> 00:22:54,198
Where he belongs.
467
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:56,139
If you can make a case.
468
00:22:57,243 --> 00:23:00,110
You might want to see if the rest
of Stockwell's story holds up too.
469
00:23:00,412 --> 00:23:02,107
That someone framed him
with the book?
470
00:23:03,249 --> 00:23:04,239
We'll look into it.
471
00:23:08,754 --> 00:23:10,722
To this day, my brother
calls me a friggin' idiot
472
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:12,086
for letting that guy
off the hook.
473
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:15,151
A girl broke up with me once 'cause
I told her I was on that jury.
474
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:17,385
Why did you think
Lange was innocent?
475
00:23:18,964 --> 00:23:21,899
What can I say? In hindsight,
we were obviously wrong.
476
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:25,329
Did anyone approach you about the trial
while you were being sequestered?
477
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:28,533
No way. They had us
locked down 2417.
478
00:23:28,974 --> 00:23:30,703
And when we weren't stuck
in that fleabag hotel,
479
00:23:30,776 --> 00:23:32,870
they had us chained to the
table in the jury room.
480
00:23:33,712 --> 00:23:35,077
So what were
deliberations like?
481
00:23:35,214 --> 00:23:36,648
(GROANING) Misery.
482
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,250
Anyone in particular
argue for an acquittal?
483
00:23:40,653 --> 00:23:42,644
Yeah, there was
one woman, Lydia.
484
00:23:42,888 --> 00:23:45,380
She was a piece of work. She was
the hold out from the get-go.
485
00:23:45,457 --> 00:23:47,255
Lydia Neville.
Juror number seven.
486
00:23:47,326 --> 00:23:48,350
Yeah, that's her.
487
00:23:48,794 --> 00:23:51,320
She was always coming back around
to the cops who investigated.
488
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:52,829
Insisted they
planted evidence.
489
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,665
And then convinced
everybody else it was true?
490
00:23:56,468 --> 00:23:57,731
More like wore us down.
491
00:23:58,270 --> 00:23:59,863
We were tired
of being there.
492
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:02,199
Thejudge kept sending us back
when we were deadlocked.
493
00:24:02,875 --> 00:24:04,468
We were stuck in that
room eight days.
494
00:24:05,577 --> 00:24:06,567
I missed my kids.
495
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:11,144
Whether or not J.P. Lange killed his
wife, you people didn't prove it.
496
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:12,240
Simple as that.
497
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:15,717
Some of the otherjurors I spoke with
said you persuaded them to acquit.
498
00:24:16,088 --> 00:24:17,522
That's what
a deliberation's about.
499
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,251
I read the trial
transcripts, Lydia.
500
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:23,521
Saying the detectives planted
evidence is stretching the facts.
501
00:24:24,063 --> 00:24:25,121
What's your point?
502
00:24:26,165 --> 00:24:28,964
There's been an allegation that one
of jurors at the trial was bribed.
503
00:24:29,535 --> 00:24:32,095
Bribed?
And you think it was me?
504
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:34,697
According to the others, you were
the reason for the deadlock.
505
00:24:35,007 --> 00:24:36,031
I don't remember it that way.
506
00:24:36,275 --> 00:24:37,265
Really?
507
00:24:37,376 --> 00:24:39,811
What I remember is Jack McCoy
got his pants pulled down
508
00:24:40,112 --> 00:24:42,206
'cause the detective practically
admitted to framing Lange.
509
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:43,839
My fellow jurors agreed.
510
00:24:44,883 --> 00:24:46,612
Look, I have a class to teach.
We're done.
511
00:24:50,689 --> 00:24:53,420
I remember Lydia Neville.
Smart. PhD.
512
00:24:54,293 --> 00:24:57,354
With the DNA evidence, I figured
she'd be an asset on the jury.
513
00:24:57,496 --> 00:25:00,659
That PhD put her 75 grand in
the hole with student loans.
514
00:25:00,866 --> 00:25:03,631
Which, by the way, she paid off
shortly after the trial ended.
515
00:25:04,370 --> 00:25:05,531
Did the money
come from Lange?
516
00:25:05,871 --> 00:25:06,861
I don't think so.
517
00:25:07,072 --> 00:25:09,564
I spoke with Virgil
Publishing's general counsel.
518
00:25:09,842 --> 00:25:11,606
He recognized
Lydia Neville's name.
519
00:25:13,812 --> 00:25:14,802
Serena Darby?
520
00:25:15,381 --> 00:25:16,610
From a book contract.
521
00:25:16,849 --> 00:25:17,839
Drawn up when?
522
00:25:17,916 --> 00:25:19,941
Well, her advance was paid
after the trial ended,
523
00:25:20,185 --> 00:25:23,644
but the lawyers drafted her contract
even before defense rested their case.
524
00:25:23,856 --> 00:25:26,450
Anything to confirm she was
acting on behalf of Lange?
525
00:25:26,592 --> 00:25:29,118
Serena Darby already had
a deal in place with him.
526
00:25:29,428 --> 00:25:30,418
If you think about it,
527
00:25:30,763 --> 00:25:31,992
if he were convicted,
528
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:34,393
what incentive would he have to
follow through with the book?
529
00:25:34,666 --> 00:25:37,328
Son of Sam laws would have
prevented any personal profit.
530
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:39,169
Darby had to get him a walk.
531
00:25:40,906 --> 00:25:43,432
I want Miss Neville picked up
first thing in the morning.
532
00:25:46,078 --> 00:25:48,911
Serena approached me about doing
a book after the trial ended.
533
00:25:49,681 --> 00:25:52,082
She paid me the advance, but the
project fell apart after that.
534
00:25:52,151 --> 00:25:54,245
Look, I didn't do
anything wrong.
535
00:25:55,220 --> 00:25:56,585
Don't lie to me,
Miss Neville.
536
00:25:57,723 --> 00:26:01,455
Contracts in your name were drawn
up even before closing arguments.
537
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:03,825
I don't know
anything about that.
538
00:26:04,430 --> 00:26:06,797
Accepting a bribe is
a D felony, Lydia.
539
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:08,795
Seven years
in state prison.
540
00:26:08,901 --> 00:26:10,562
We have more than
enough to prosecute.
541
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:12,294
And I intend to do it.
542
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:14,367
Unless you tell me
everything.
543
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:21,880
It was supposed to be
a hung jury.
544
00:26:23,849 --> 00:26:24,839
A mistrial.
545
00:26:26,385 --> 00:26:29,411
Serena said if I was the lone holdout,
I could have a bestselling book.
546
00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:32,652
She talked big.
I needed the money.
547
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:34,556
I didn't think that we
would actually acquit him.
548
00:26:36,862 --> 00:26:38,296
Did Lange know
the fix was in?
549
00:26:39,465 --> 00:26:40,955
Before the verdict,
I don't know.
550
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:43,857
After the trial, yeah.
551
00:26:45,671 --> 00:26:46,900
Did you have contact with him?
552
00:26:48,941 --> 00:26:50,773
A couple of months ago
I sent him a letter.
553
00:26:52,678 --> 00:26:55,170
I asked for money. Or I said
I'd go public about the bribe.
554
00:26:56,982 --> 00:26:58,006
You blackmailed Lange?
555
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:00,976
He was paid a lot
for his book.
556
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,051
I didn't think it was fair.
557
00:27:03,355 --> 00:27:05,824
I have bills. I risked
a lot to help him out.
558
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:08,449
Did he pay you?
559
00:27:08,894 --> 00:27:09,918
Some.
560
00:27:10,896 --> 00:27:12,159
So I sent him another letter.
561
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,100
Right before Serena died.
562
00:27:18,904 --> 00:27:20,133
Does he know who you are?
563
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:21,963
No.
564
00:27:23,842 --> 00:27:25,310
No, the letters
were sent anonymously.
565
00:27:25,410 --> 00:27:28,380
I had him leave the money at a bus
stop so he wouldn't see me pick it up.
566
00:27:30,149 --> 00:27:31,674
Only Serena knew my name.
567
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:37,989
We think Lange wanted the name
of the juror blackmailing him.
568
00:27:38,090 --> 00:27:40,058
And Serena Darby
refused to give it up.
569
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:43,094
They argued at dinner. He
confronted her when she went home.
570
00:27:43,262 --> 00:27:44,252
It escalated
to murder.
571
00:27:45,097 --> 00:27:46,724
Why would she hold out
on the name?
572
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:48,491
Both their necks
were on the line.
573
00:27:48,934 --> 00:27:51,096
My guess is, she told
him to pay the money.
574
00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:53,060
And the affair?
575
00:27:53,205 --> 00:27:54,730
There's no evidence
they were having one.
576
00:27:54,806 --> 00:27:56,740
Nothing in her date book.
Not even one e-mail.
577
00:27:56,842 --> 00:27:59,504
Well, you already have one guy
sitting in Rikers for her murder.
578
00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:03,114
I think you ought to figure out who you
want to charge on this and do it fast.
579
00:28:03,282 --> 00:28:04,408
My bet's on Lange.
580
00:28:05,284 --> 00:28:06,274
Okay.
581
00:28:06,585 --> 00:28:09,611
Reassure me that this is not
colored by your history with him.
582
00:28:10,022 --> 00:28:11,615
I want to convict him, Arthur.
583
00:28:11,723 --> 00:28:14,818
It happens to coincide nicely
with the fact that he's guilty.
584
00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:17,890
Can you prove that
he framed this other fella?
585
00:28:18,130 --> 00:28:19,996
Gerald Stockwell
lives in Flatbush.
586
00:28:20,165 --> 00:28:23,157
Green and Cassady went back to his
neighborhood and did a full canvass.
587
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:26,830
Those are from the school surveillance
camera across the street from his building.
588
00:28:27,105 --> 00:28:29,665
That is Lange the morning
after Serena's murder.
589
00:28:30,042 --> 00:28:33,740
Stockwell says the book with her
blood on it was dropped at his door.
590
00:28:34,646 --> 00:28:36,978
I take it that Lange doesn't get
out to Brooklyn that often?
591
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:38,641
I'm guessing no.
592
00:28:38,784 --> 00:28:41,845
I think he's learned a few things since
the last time he killed someone.
593
00:28:42,187 --> 00:28:43,985
Like how to manufacture
reasonable doubt.
594
00:28:44,223 --> 00:28:47,124
The good news is, this time
he won't have Serena Darby
595
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:49,393
to bribe ajuror
on his behalf.
596
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:51,863
Bribery, blackmail,
and a patsy.
597
00:28:52,998 --> 00:28:55,160

this crime, J.P.?

He's looking forward to
clearing his again.
604
00:29:20,993 --> 00:29:22,654
So, you're saying
there's no basis?
605

There's no foundation,
there's no evidence.

This is a vendetta

It's a personal vendetta.

100% not guilty.

excuse me.

Spin it hard,
spin it early.
616
00:29:55,994 --> 00:29:58,895
Carsley obviously called the
press about the arrest.
617
00:29:59,298 --> 00:30:01,357
And got the first shot
across our bow.

Well, this isn't

Any missteps, Carsley won't have any
trouble making it look like one.

vengeance and justice, Arthur.

Motion to exclude Lydia
Neville's testimony.

CARSLEY: It's totally
irrelevant to the case at bar.
632
00:30:41,773 --> 00:30:44,606
Mister McCoy is alleging that
my client bribed Miss Neville
633
00:30:44,710 --> 00:30:46,542
in atrial which is
legal ancient history.
634
00:30:46,611 --> 00:30:48,943
It goes squarely to motive
in the murder, YourHonoL
635

CARSLEY: More like
fabricating motive.
636

The People allege guilt in a case for
which my client was already acquitted,
637
00:30:54,553 --> 00:30:56,715
because they can't find any
solid evidence in this one.
638
00:30:56,788 --> 00:31:00,656
Stop grandstanding, Counselor. I
don't see any cameras in here.

I apologize, Judge.

I tend to get upset about overzealous
D.A.'s with a score to settle.
641
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:10,100
We can prove that Serena
Darby paid Lydia Neville
642
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:12,795
to secure a verdict
other than a conviction.
643
00:31:13,138 --> 00:31:15,038
That bribery
led to blackmail,
644
00:31:15,340 --> 00:31:17,502
which led to Miss Darby's
murder by the defendant.
645
00:31:18,176 --> 00:31:21,146
If the bribery allegation is not
irrelevant, it's certainly prejudicial.
646
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:23,672
And they can't connect any
of it back to my client.
647
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:25,976
It's a question of who
benefited from the scheme.
648
00:31:26,318 --> 00:31:27,979
Miss Darby certainly did.
649
00:31:28,053 --> 00:31:29,817
And she acted without
Mr. Lange's knowledge.
650
00:31:29,921 --> 00:31:31,685
It's evidence
the jury should weigh.
651
00:31:31,757 --> 00:31:33,725
It goes to the
foundation of the crime.
652
00:31:34,126 --> 00:31:37,528
Now, which murder does Mr. McCoy want
us to believe that he's talking about?
653
00:31:37,596 --> 00:31:40,258
Alright, enough.
I'll review the briefs.

00:31:40,332 --> 00:31:41,822
You'll have my answer
by the end of the day.
655
00:31:43,268 --> 00:31:44,292
The bribery is out?
656
00:31:44,369 --> 00:31:46,428
Along with any mention
of the first trial.
657
00:31:47,406 --> 00:31:50,808
Which means the contents of the
book are also excluded, I assume.
658
00:31:50,876 --> 00:31:54,779
Anything to suggest that Lange got away
with murder the first time around is out.
659
00:31:54,846 --> 00:31:57,611
Then you're going to have a tough
time proving his motive in this one.
660
00:31:58,884 --> 00:32:01,581
Every member of that jury
knows about that book.
661
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:03,779
They think he's
a killer already.
662
00:32:03,855 --> 00:32:05,619
And when they convict him
on bias alone,
663
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:09,126
be surprised when Judge Emerton
sets aside the verdict
664
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:10,821
because you failed to meet
your burden of proof.
665
00:32:10,896 --> 00:32:13,957
The blood on Darby's copy is
still solid physical evidence.
666
00:32:14,032 --> 00:32:15,363
It ties Lange to the crime.
667
00:32:15,934 --> 00:32:17,766
After it changed hands
three times.
668
00:32:17,836 --> 00:32:19,167
We can tie him
to the scene.
669
00:32:19,237 --> 00:32:21,968
Show consciousness of guilt
in framing Stockwell.
670
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,476
And the defense will say that you
declined to prosecute the real killer
671
00:32:25,544 --> 00:32:28,377
just to get a second bite
of the apple with Lange.
672
00:32:28,447 --> 00:32:30,814
Which isn't true. But it's
gonna look like it is.
673
00:32:31,483 --> 00:32:34,783
Lange's the second person that you've
indicted for this murder, Jack.
674
00:32:35,287 --> 00:32:36,550
You know that's
gotta help him.
675
00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:39,185
I'm not going to
plead this out, Arthur.
676
00:32:39,257 --> 00:32:40,952
Your case is falling apart.
677
00:32:41,026 --> 00:32:45,088
I don't want to see Lange walk away
from a murder again soot-free.
678
00:32:45,530 --> 00:32:47,191
I want to see him
do some real time.
679
00:32:47,265 --> 00:32:48,255
And what's that?
680
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,428
Well, considering the state of things
I think ten years would be a godsend.
681
00:32:52,871 --> 00:32:55,169
And if this were any other
case, you'd agree with me.
682
00:32:55,273 --> 00:32:56,741
But it's not.
Not for me.
683
00:32:58,477 --> 00:32:59,638
Make the deal, Jack.
684
00:33:06,852 --> 00:33:08,911
Mr. Lange pleads
to man one.
685
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:11,952
We'd recommend
no more than 15 years.
686
00:33:12,023 --> 00:33:13,149
Don't waste our time.
687
00:33:13,692 --> 00:33:15,353
You don't have the leverage
to offer half of that.
688
00:33:15,594 --> 00:33:17,688
If it were up to me,
we wouldn't be here at all.
689
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:20,094
Sure, Branch
is forcing your hand
690
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:22,395
because he knows your case
doesn't have a leg to stand on.
691
00:33:23,468 --> 00:33:27,666
Any rookie attorney can throw reasonable
doubt at every shred of evidence you've got.
692
00:33:28,206 --> 00:33:30,368
We didn't call this meeting
looking for a critique.
693
00:33:30,442 --> 00:33:31,603
No, you took stock.
694
00:33:32,944 --> 00:33:34,378
This is the only
option you got.
695
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:36,604
Don't think your client
began this trial
696
00:33:36,681 --> 00:33:38,513
with a presumption
of innocence either.
697
00:33:38,717 --> 00:33:42,585
Well, I'm not sure either of us are making
up a lot of ground in this trial so far.
698
00:33:43,188 --> 00:33:44,246
Our offer is on the table.
699
00:33:47,259 --> 00:33:49,193
Mr. Lange is willing
to take an Alford plea
700
00:33:50,228 --> 00:33:51,218
for a reduced charge
701
00:33:52,264 --> 00:33:53,390
and do five years
in prison.
702
00:33:53,465 --> 00:33:54,990
No more than five years.
703
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:58,128
Plead no contest to the crime,
with no admission of guilt?
704
00:33:58,970 --> 00:34:00,028
I didn't kill Serena.
705
00:34:00,405 --> 00:34:01,463
I'm not gonna say I did.
706
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:05,142
You're not a very good liar, Mr. Lange.
Even after four years of practice.
707
00:34:09,247 --> 00:34:11,682
Any plea comes with
a full allocution.
708
00:34:11,783 --> 00:34:13,114
Hey, what do you wanna
hear from me, McCoy?
709
00:34:14,286 --> 00:34:15,276
That I killed my wife?
710
00:34:15,754 --> 00:34:16,744
That I cut her throat?
711
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:19,446
That I gutted her?
712
00:34:19,558 --> 00:34:21,583
I read your book.
I heard it already.
713
00:34:21,693 --> 00:34:24,025
Yeah. And you're pissed off you
can't do anything about it.
714
00:34:25,463 --> 00:34:27,989
Contrary to what your
attorney says, Mr. Lange,
715
00:34:28,066 --> 00:34:29,966
that's not why
you're on trial here.
716
00:34:33,438 --> 00:34:35,338
I'm not gonna say
I killed Serena either.
717
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:41,738
Alford plea is still justice served, Jack.
It's win-win.
718
00:34:42,113 --> 00:34:43,672
It's still 15 years
too light.
719
00:34:50,155 --> 00:34:51,748
Forget it.
We'll finish the trial.
720
00:34:52,757 --> 00:34:54,725
You know all that talk in
the press about a vendetta?
721
00:34:55,627 --> 00:34:56,992
It was just that.
It was talk.
722
00:34:58,063 --> 00:34:59,656
But I wasn't
far off the mark, was I?
723
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:05,431
Show yourselves out.
724
00:35:11,309 --> 00:35:13,243
LANGE: Serena and I were
having an affair.
725
00:35:14,512 --> 00:35:16,412
I broke it off with her
that night over dinner.
726
00:35:17,649 --> 00:35:18,741
She wasn't happy about it.
727
00:35:20,218 --> 00:35:21,686
Before I got up to leave,
728
00:35:21,753 --> 00:35:24,279
I pulled the book
out of her bag
729
00:35:24,689 --> 00:35:26,179
and I wrote
those words.
730
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:28,720
It was a stupid thing to do.
731
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:32,224
And I feel bad that things were
left that way before she died.
732
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:38,032
According to the Prosecution,
you were in Flatbush
733
00:35:38,436 --> 00:35:39,767
the morning after
her murder.
734
00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:42,135
That's ridiculous. I've never
been in Flatbush my entire life.
735
00:35:42,540 --> 00:35:45,669
Then how do you
explain this...
736
00:35:46,978 --> 00:35:47,968
This photo?
737
00:35:48,913 --> 00:35:50,278
It's payback, obviously.
738
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:53,983
You're saying that the police
and the District Attorney
739
00:35:54,853 --> 00:35:58,016
fabricated evidence because they
couldn't convict you last time?
740
00:35:58,423 --> 00:36:00,915
Look, did anybody
see me out there?
741
00:36:01,593 --> 00:36:02,583
No.
742
00:36:03,028 --> 00:36:04,928
I'm a pretty
recognizable guy.
743
00:36:05,864 --> 00:36:08,595
Did anybody see me at Serena's
apartment that night?
744
00:36:09,034 --> 00:36:10,024
Of course not.
745
00:36:10,502 --> 00:36:11,492
Because I wasn't there.
746
00:36:13,972 --> 00:36:15,531
Did you kill Serena Darby?
747
00:36:16,908 --> 00:36:18,034
Absolutely not.
748
00:36:19,944 --> 00:36:20,934
CARSLEY: Thank you.
749
00:36:26,785 --> 00:36:29,117
Mr. Stockwell is
a convenient scapegoat.
750
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:31,749
He ghostwrites your book.
751
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:33,885
You give him credit
for the murder you commit.
752
00:36:33,992 --> 00:36:35,551
I didn't kill anybody.
753
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:39,554
Look, everybody knows why you're
accusing me of this, Mr. McCoy.
754
00:36:40,465 --> 00:36:44,197
If you were having an affair with Serena
Darby, why isn't there any evidence of it?
755
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:45,930
Because Serena didn't want
people to know about it.
756
00:36:46,271 --> 00:36:47,761
Except for the night
in question.
757
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:52,167
When she chose to have dinner
with you at a popular restaurant?
758
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:55,275
And you chose a public place
to break things off?
759
00:36:55,346 --> 00:36:56,336
That's right.
760
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:05,215
So, this relationship that
you claim you had with her,
761
00:37:06,791 --> 00:37:10,056
this grew out of
working together?
762
00:37:10,328 --> 00:37:11,352
Writing the book, yeah.
763
00:37:11,763 --> 00:37:14,357
Would it be accurate to say
that Miss Darby knew you well?
764
00:37:15,233 --> 00:37:16,758
As well as anybody,
I guess.
765
00:37:17,702 --> 00:37:21,036
And she never expressed concern about
having a relationship with you?
766
00:37:23,942 --> 00:37:26,570
Why would she?
Well, she was your publisher.
767
00:37:26,644 --> 00:37:27,770
Isn't that right?
768
00:37:29,013 --> 00:37:30,003
For this?
769
00:37:33,017 --> 00:37:35,611
There's nothing in that book that
she needed to be concerned about.
770
00:37:36,321 --> 00:37:37,345
Really?
771
00:37:38,656 --> 00:37:40,556
Don't you confess to
the murder of your wife?
772
00:37:40,625 --> 00:37:41,922
That's bull...
CARSLEY: Objection!
773
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:43,050
JUDGE: Approach.
774
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:46,923
You ruled on this,
Your Honor.
775
00:37:47,031 --> 00:37:51,025
Mr. McCoy, I made it clear that the
content of that book was out of bounds.
776
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:53,196
Mr. Lange opened the door.
777
00:37:53,404 --> 00:37:54,530
He stepped
in your trap.
778
00:37:57,942 --> 00:37:59,273
Then I withdraw
the question.
779
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:01,344
No, your cross-exam is over.
780
00:38:02,147 --> 00:38:03,342
I want to redirect
my client.
781
00:38:03,648 --> 00:38:05,241
Fine. Step back.
782
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:09,846
CARSLEY: Mr. Lange.
783
00:38:11,523 --> 00:38:13,082
Mr. Lange, this book...
784
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:17,121
This book is purely
a work of fiction, correct?
785
00:38:17,695 --> 00:38:19,629
Yes it is.
Absolutely.
786
00:38:20,865 --> 00:38:21,855
CARSLEY: Thank you.
787
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:23,728
The Defense rests,
Your Honor.
788
00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:29,370
Your Honor, the People wish to call a
rebuttal witness, Gerald Stockwell.
789
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,635
That's...
CARSLEY: Chambers, Your Honor?
790
00:38:30,875 --> 00:38:31,865
Let's go.
791
00:38:34,746 --> 00:38:39,047
Your Honor, Mr. McCoy plans to impeach
my client on excluded material.
792
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:42,518
The defense chose to redirect
on the basis of that material.
793
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:45,585
The testimony given
was patently false.
794
00:38:45,757 --> 00:38:47,919
This is a dirty trick. It goes
to credibility, YourHonoL
795
00:38:48,059 --> 00:38:50,619
Mr. Stockwell will testify
that the defendant
796
00:38:50,895 --> 00:38:53,865
made a willing confession
to him about killing his wife.
797
00:38:53,932 --> 00:38:54,922
This doesn't matter.
798
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:58,367
You already ruled that the content of that
book is off-limits during this trial.
799
00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:01,734
It certainly didn't stop you from
going there with your question.
800
00:39:01,806 --> 00:39:03,399
This was a deliberate
set-up, YourHonoL
801
00:39:03,541 --> 00:39:05,669
Mr. McCoy is just trying
to find a way to say that
802
00:39:05,743 --> 00:39:07,541
my client got away
with his wife's murder.
803
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:10,211
Be that as it may.
The People have a right
804
00:39:10,281 --> 00:39:12,909
to impeach the witness
based on his prior testimony.
805
00:39:13,785 --> 00:39:15,947
Excuse me?
You heard me, Mr. Carsley.
806
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:18,283
A lie is a lie
in my courtroom.
807
00:39:18,523 --> 00:39:19,922
And saying
that book is fiction,
808
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:22,592
I think your client
just told a big one.
809
00:39:24,963 --> 00:39:26,522
You can call
Mr. Stockwell.
810
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:36,803
What was your involvement
in the writing of this book?
811
00:39:37,308 --> 00:39:38,935
STOCKWELL: I was the
ghostwriter on the project.
812
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:40,068
And what did that entail?
813
00:39:41,012 --> 00:39:42,502
Extensive interviews
with Mr. Lange.
814
00:39:42,747 --> 00:39:45,239
Then I outlined and wrote
a draft of the manuscript.
815
00:39:46,084 --> 00:39:48,416
Was this book
a work of fiction?
816
00:39:49,254 --> 00:39:50,244
Absolutely not.
817
00:39:51,022 --> 00:39:55,152
In these interviews, did Mr. Lange
discuss the murder of his wife?
818
00:39:56,127 --> 00:39:57,117
Yes.
819
00:39:57,929 --> 00:39:58,953
What did he say?
820
00:40:00,265 --> 00:40:01,255
Quite a lot.
821
00:40:01,499 --> 00:40:03,934
That's why I recorded
our sessions.
822
00:40:05,803 --> 00:40:08,602
Your Honor, at this time,
823
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,709
the People would like
to offer into evidence
824
00:40:12,577 --> 00:40:15,603
a recording of
one such interview
825
00:40:16,648 --> 00:40:18,707
marked exhibit 18.
826
00:40:19,117 --> 00:40:20,175
Objection. Your Honor.
827
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:23,486
These interviews are
being taken out of context.
828
00:40:23,554 --> 00:40:26,888
We can rebut direct testimony
of the defendant.
829
00:40:26,991 --> 00:40:29,187
Who better to do that
than the defendant himself?
830
00:40:31,529 --> 00:40:32,519
I'll allow it.
831
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:42,429
STOCKWELL:
You were angry?
832
00:40:42,874 --> 00:40:44,865
LANGE: I was tired
of the disrespect.
833
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:49,637
She'd go out with her girlfriends
and act like some street whore.
834
00:40:50,248 --> 00:40:51,306
I knew what
she was doing.
835
00:40:51,783 --> 00:40:53,012
What set things off
that night?
836
00:40:53,351 --> 00:40:55,410
I could tell she'd been with
someone before I showed up.
837
00:40:56,688 --> 00:40:59,851
I called her on it and she just
got, you know, hysterical.
838
00:41:00,858 --> 00:41:01,984
Can you describe
what happened?
839
00:41:05,163 --> 00:41:07,632
She lunged at me, and I
had the knife in my hand,
840
00:41:09,233 --> 00:41:10,223
and that was it.
841
00:41:11,169 --> 00:41:12,261
You cut her throat.
842
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:13,560
(LANGE LAUGHS)
843
00:41:13,705 --> 00:41:14,934
I almost took
her head off.
844
00:41:16,207 --> 00:41:17,572
And all that blood.
(LAUGHS)
845
00:41:18,609 --> 00:41:19,974
Oh, you have no idea.
846
00:41:22,613 --> 00:41:23,978
Don't look at me
like that, Jerry.
847
00:41:25,216 --> 00:41:27,412
You said you wanted to know what happened.
I ain't gonna lie to you.
848
00:41:29,253 --> 00:41:30,243
I'm a free man.
849
00:41:31,222 --> 00:41:32,781
don't have to lie
to anyone anymore.
850
00:41:47,772 --> 00:41:49,137
Has the jury
reached a verdict?
851
00:41:49,340 --> 00:41:50,432
FOREPERSON:
We have, Your Honor.
852
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:54,707
On the charge of murder in the second
degree for the killing of Serena Darby,
853
00:41:55,046 --> 00:41:56,036
how do you find?
854
00:41:56,514 --> 00:41:58,983
We find the defendant
James Paul Lange
855
00:41:59,183 --> 00:42:00,173
guilty.
856
00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:01,508
(GAVEL POUNDS)
857
00:42:20,304 --> 00:42:22,136
It doesn't sound like
Judge Emerton
858
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:24,038
was totally unsympathetic
to your position.
859
00:42:24,242 --> 00:42:25,232
Maybe not.
860
00:42:25,476 --> 00:42:27,570
Or maybe I beat Lange
at his own game.
861
00:42:28,246 --> 00:42:30,943
Sounds like you're taking
this victory a tad personally.
862
00:42:31,015 --> 00:42:32,244
Damn right I am.
863
00:42:33,084 --> 00:42:35,883
So what do you think? Did the jury
convict Lange for the right murder?
864
00:42:36,687 --> 00:42:37,779
That we'll probably
never know.
865
00:42:38,423 --> 00:42:39,982
Till one of them
writes a book about it.
866
00:42:40,032 --> 00:42:44,582
