[COLLECTiVE-AMC]

OK.

You ready?

It's beautiful.

Where'd you find this?

It's cute, right?

Oh, I love this.

So cute.

It's perfect.

It would have been a lot for me.

Thank you.

It's perfect.

You're perfect.

Thank you.

Of course.

They here already?

They're like 30 minutes early.

Why are they-- what?

It's OK.

I love it.

Yeah.

I'll be honest, Ally and I,

we weren't sure about whether

to have this party.

But together, there's

nothing we can't overcome.

You're the strongest woman I know.

I love you more than anything.

And I'm so damn excited to

keep building our lives together.

Me too.

I love you.

Love you.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you all for being here.

Thank you.

Vitamins are on the table.

Oh, thank you, baby.

This is a nice party.

Think I've heard at a good time?

Yeah.

You deserve it.

You're just buttering me

up before you abandon me.

I wish I could delay it again.

I know.

I don't want to leave you here.

You just go to the judge

and tell him something wildly

inappropriate, and then come back to me.

I will.

Oh, you will?

Oh, you will?

Like what?

I'll say--

What?

I'll say we're having a

big old orgy tomorrow night,

and they're all invited.

Ow.

Oh, no, no, no.

Be careful.

All right.

That got me too excited.

[LAUGHTER]

I'm OK.

Hey.

Sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Just a reminder, send in

those mail-in ballots soon.

For only two weeks out

from election day, folks,

and every ballot matters.

So be sure to get

yours in before it's done.

Faith, come on.

I'm polling has she

had a 46-point death log,

with 8% of voters still undecided.

We need to push her

plan to reduce the crime

rate in order to pull ahead.

This case is my campaign.

He's a dangerous criminal with a long

history of violence.

I put James side the way.

You win.

You'll lose your shot at being DA.

I gotta go.

Hey.

Excuse me.

You, uh, dropped this.

Oh, I did.

Oh, my god.

Thank you.

You were last-saver.

No worries.

Have a good day.

Yeah, you too.

Where do I go for a jury duty?

I'm going to go down there.

Thanks.

Bye.

All right, guys.

Eyes up.

Pay attention.

Hello.

I'd like to welcome you as

a juror in the Georgia court

system.

As a juror, you protect

the right of every person

to a trial by jury.

The right to a trial by jury is a

cornerstone of our democracy.

That right is protected by the United

States Constitution.

There she is.

Sugar-free vanilla with skin.

Oh, you're good.

Can I get you something else?

You got something for me?

OK.

Voluntary manslaughter with a

recommendation of 20 years,

15 to serve, followed

by five for probation.

Wow.

That's a hell of a deal.

I won't even waive the recidivism statute

if you please before I strike the jury.

I admit to something he didn't do.

Save it for the jury.

Better yet, why don't

you plead your guy out

and save a pre-free figure case loan?

Look, my client wants a trial.

Well, then, you're wasting

my time and your clients.

Last chance.

After you.

The case you're about to

hear is an alleged homicide.

The state is charging James Michael

Seith with malice murder for the death of

Kendall Alice Carter.

Now, if you have a personal relationship

with the accused and or the deceased that

will prohibit you from serving on this

panel in an unbiased

manner, please speak now.

Yes.

He used to ride my bus.

And when was this?

I don't know, a few years ago.

OK.

Then there's no reason

we can't leave it there.

I think you'll make a fine juror.

Does anyone else think that they're

incapable of serving on this panel?

Yes.

Your Honor, my wife is

in the third trimester

of a high-risk pregnancy.

I'd like to be available to her.

Well, that's commendable.

What hours do you normally work?

Nine to six, typically.

And you have my word

that this court will not

demand one minute more

of your time than that.

See, the fact that you

don't want to be here

is exactly what makes

you the perfect group

to adjudicate this case.

You are impartial.

You have no skin in the

game, nothing to gain or lose.

And that is why I believe

that this process, as flawed

as it may be, is still our

best chance at finding justice.

Do you work, Mrs. Allworth?

Well, I had a toughest job there is.

I raised two kids and just

sent them off to college.

Ah, congratulations.

Thank you.

And have you ever

served on a jury before?

Twice, both were Ms. Charles.

Twice, OK, OK.

Mr. King, have you ever

had a physical altercation

with a significant other?

Are you going to ask

that question to every guy

in this courtroom?

If I have to, I will.

I know these questions

can be very personal.

Nah, man.

Any me.

Thank you, sir.

How long have you lived in

the area, Mr. Tchaikovsky?

About 10 years.

You-- oh, you run a flower shop?

Yeah, with my wife.

Mr. Robinson, it says here your wife

has primary custody of your daughter.

Is that correct?

Yeah.

Do you mind if I ask you

who ended the marriage?

She did.

Thank you.

All you.

Mr. Camp.

And you're a magazine writer.

That's right.

What kind of articles do you write?

Features mostly.

So you write about a variety of topics?

Yes.

Ever written about a murder trial?

Well, I write for

regional lifestyle magazines.

It's not exactly Vanity Fair.

Take that out of the know.

Being a writer, I imagine you read a lot.

You read anything about this case?

No, no.

Today's the first I've heard about it.

Well, then, I think

you'll make a perfectly

acceptable member of this jury.

Does a defense accept our challenge?

We accept him, Your Honor.

Good.

Please enter Justin

Camp as juror number two.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

How did it go?

So--

I got picked.

No.

I'm so sorry.

What happened to wildly inappropriate?

I'm saving that for you.

I am?

They said it'll be a short trial.

I feel like they always

say that, but I hope so.

How was your day?

It was OK.

I did this.

Yeah.

It's good progress.

It's good.

All day?

No, this did not take me all day.

I watched a

documentary, and I peed 94 times.

94?

And I ate some ice.

Can I have some more?

Ice? Yeah.

Ice, coming up.

All right.

The people need to know how

I'll make this city safer.

And women need to know that if they're

in an abusive relationship, their

community has their back.

The rest-- the rest is noise.

So thank you.

[APPLAUSE]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

[APPLAUSE]

Hi.

Hi.

Hey.

Nice speech.

Thanks.

Justice is truth in action?

Professor Nielsen.

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember.

You still believe it?

Of course.

All right.

As long as it doesn't get in

the way of a win, though, right?

Oh my god.

If you got something to

say, Eric, just say it.

Hmm.

Say it.

He loves you.

You were his favorite student.

Are you really going there?

Yeah, I'm going there.

Oh my god.

And now you're a--

What?

I'm a what?

A politician.

Good morning.

We will begin with opening statements.

Ms. Killebrude.

OK, the facts of the case are these.

One year ago, on

October 25, the defendant,

James Sath, and his then

girlfriend, Kendall Carter,

went drinking a rowdy's

hideaway on O'Brien Road.

What's all the way up there, guys?

I'm already drunk.

Bye.

Things got tense.

They had a fight.

Not a fair opportunity.

Leave it alone.

I'm not-- what is this?

Stop pushing me.

I'm not pushing you.

Stop pushing me.

Jesus Christ.

Chief stormed out of the

bar, and he followed her.

The fight escalated, and

things quickly got out of control.

Hey.

What the hell are you doing?

Get away from me.

Don't ask me.

Where are you?

Are you kidding me?

It was par for the course.

They'd argue.

They'd break up.

And they'd make up the next day after they both had calmed
down.

It was basically a game.

Now, this couple had a

history of violent interactions,

but this time she was serious.

She was done with him.

So she left and headed down the road from foot.

So this was just another

typical night of drama.

So James Site got in

his car and he drove home.

He flew into a violent rage and followed

Kendall Carter down the road,

where he proceeded to kill her.

Ever.

He beat her viciously.

He pushed her over a

rail into the creek below

and left her to die.

(wind blowing)

James Seif didn't attack her

and he couldn't have pushed her

because he wasn't there.

James Seif

took an innocent life.

James Seif is an innocent man.

Thank you.

(coughing)

(water splashing)

Damn man.

You alright?

Yeah, just those crime scene pictures.

Never had a strong stomach.

Yeah.

Alright, good night.

Good.

(knocking)

(door opening)

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things

that I cannot change,

the courage to change

the things that I cannot,

and the wisdom to know the difference.

(clapping) Good work, everybody.

He's coming back.

It works if you work.

Great job, everybody.

(crowd chattering)

Thank you, Justin.

Hey, you okay?

You okay?

Yeah.

You got a lot of remindin'?

Yeah, I can tell.

I wanna talk about it.

Okay, look, whatever it is,

my advice is the same.

You know what to do.

We're only as sick as our secrets.

Okay, I'm always here for you.

(door opening)

(soft music)

(soft music)

(soft music)

Good night.

Be out of your way in a minute.

Take as long as you want.

I'll come back.

(soft music)

(door opening)

(door opening)

Hey.

Hey.

Sorry, wait.

It was okay.

How was the meeting?

It was good.

Stayed after the talk of Larry for a bit.

You okay?

Hard.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

Everything's gonna be fine.

We're gonna be a family soon.

Very soon, I hope.

(laughs)

(engine revving)

I'd seen them in there

before a couple times.

It was always the same thing.

They would start off fun and flirty

and then after a few

drinks things would change.

Change how?

That night she came in trying

to talk to him like seriously,

you know, but he wasn't having it.

(engine revving) What do you want me to disagree with?

I want you to say I love you too.

I basically did.

I want you to say I love you too.

Read between the

goddamn lines, I said yeah.

What lines?

I'm sick of this shit.

What lines are you talking?

Hey, get out of my face.

(glass shatters)

He got mad, like scary.

She leaves.

He follows her

outside, so I start coming.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

What are you doing?

I wanna go home.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

You what?

I'm sorry, you're embarrassing.

What are you talking about?

Who cares if he's idiots, they can't.

What are you gonna do, hit me?

Relax, I'm sorry, it's okay.

Who are you?

Are you kidding me?

Bring it on.

Better get the fuck

out of here right now.

If I walk home in the

rain, you stupid bitch,

the candle we're in over.

I'm done, baby.

So she lived, then what happened?

He followed her out of the parking lot

and onto old Quarry Road.

Thank you, no further

questions, your honor.

So you saw him walk down on the road

and you were in the parking lot? No, I didn't. So you saw
him walk down old Quarry Road?

Yes.

Did you know that his car was

parked down old Quarry Road?

No.

No.

Were you drinking that night?

Objection, your honor.

Elvirole.

Were you drinking that night?

Yes.

So you don't know how far he followed her

down old Quarry Road, do you?

No, at that point I had stopped filming

and I went back inside.

No more questions.

Does the state have any more questions?

No more questions, your honor.

Thank you, you may step down.

I was at the bar till close.

I didn't see either

one of them come back in.

And then the next day I

opened and I did what I always do.

I took the night's

trash out to the dumpster.

Miss, miss, I'm sorry, I need your help.

Because of the rain the night before,

the trails were all muddy and wet.

I had to cut up to

old Quarry by the bridge

in order to get back to the room.

(eerie music)

(crickets chirping)

(crickets chirping)

All right, and just to be clear,

when you found

Candlecaught her, she was dead?

Her head was in a pool of blood.

It was awful.

Thank you for your testimony, Mr. Reed.

I know it isn't easy.

For half.

Mr. Resnick, your witness.

Mr. Reed, you hike those trails

in the woods frequently, don't you?

Yes, sir, twice a week at least.

In your opinion, is the hike

down the hillside difficult?

Yes.

I assume you wear

hiking boots when you hike,

Mr. Reed, is that correct?

Of course.

This is a picture of Kendall Carter.

The morning you found

her below Old Quarry Road.

Can you please tell us what

kind of shoes she's wearing?

Looks like heels.

Heels?

And if she's walking along

the edge of Old Quarry Road

in a blinding

rainstorm at night in heels,

and she suddenly lost her footing,

it'd be next to impossible

to prevent herself from

falling, isn't that correct?

Yes.

Thank you.

She landed in a posterior position

which suggests she was

pushed as opposed to a fall.

Rigamort has indicated

the victim had been dead

for around nine hours.

And the cause of death?

The severity of her skull fractures

suggest she was struck

with a nonspecific blunt instrument.

And the manner of death?

Homicide.

Thank you.

No more questions.

Witnesses, yours, Mr. Resnick.

Is it possible that she

sustained her head injuries

from hitting the rocks?

Possible, sure, but in

my professional opinion,

it's not likely.

But possible.

That's all for me.

Thank you for your testimony.

You may step down.

On October 25th of last year,

you lived on Old Quarry Road, correct?

Yes.

And do you remember anything unusual

happened in that evening?

I saw a man get out

of his car in a storm.

Do you remember what time that was?

11.48 on the button.

I looked at the clock.

I heard the thunder,

so I went to the window

and lightning lit up the sky.

There he was.

What was he doing?

He looked around, he went

over to the side of the road,

peered over the railing, got

back in his car, drove off.

And is that man you saw that night here

in the courtroom today?

Do you know?

Can you point him out?

Okay.

Yes, he is here today.

That's him right there.

Let the record reflect that

the witness has identified

the man he saw as the

defendant, James Michael Seid.

No more questions, Your Honor.

All right, this feels like a good time

to break for the day.

This court is in recess

until 9 a.m. tomorrow morning

when we will pick up

here where we left off.

(birds chirping)

Jesse, what's going on?

I need a lawyer.

Okay, give me a dollar.

I'm not joking, that gives us

attorney-client privilege.

Take a seat.

So I went to clear my head

and found myself at Rowdy's hideaway.

Wore the drink and sat there for a while.

Then I got up and left.

I got to the car, it was raining.

I turned back onto old Corey.

I went about a quarter of

a mile and I hit something.

I got out of the car and I

looked around, I checked,

I didn't see anything

and I figured it was a deer

that ran off and then I got

back in the car and went home.

Okay, what's the problem?

I got called for jury

duty, the Kendall Carta case.

They found her body in a creek bed

about a quarter mile from Rowdy's

hideaway last October.

What are you telling me?

Maybe I didn't hit a deer.

I don't know what to do.

You were at a bar and you had a drink.

Yes, but I didn't touch it.

Doesn't matter.

Given your history, there

isn't a jury in the world

that would believe you were sober.

But if I was coming forward voluntarily,

that has to count for something, right?

If I come forward and

I tell them the truth.

And your prior DUIs and the

fact that you were at a bar

gives a state reason to

charge you with first degree

vehicular homicide or even felony murder.

That's 30 years to life.

What?

If you were to come forward right now,

you would be completely screwed.

That's it?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

The defense calls

James Seith, your honor.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the

truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the

truth, so help you God?

Yes, your honor. Have a seat. Please state your name for the
record.

James Michael Seith.

Ms. Resnick, your witness.

Okay, James, let's

talk about what happened

the night of October 25th.

Can you tell us what happened?

Yeah, um, Kendall and I went to Rowdy's

to have a few drinks, get some food.

We were having fun, you know, shots in pool.

We were having fun, you know, we were having fun, you know,
we were having fun, you know, we were having fun, you know,
we were having fun, you know, we were having fun,

you know, shots in pool,

played some darts, you know.

Now there's been

testimony that you guys argued.

You don't deny that, do you?

No, no, um, she got really drunk

and she was, she was

giving me a hard time.

What do you mean?

She'd been going on

about us moving in together

for a couple weeks and

I, she kept telling her

that I didn't think that I was ready.

We'll see.

We'll see.

What do you mean we're not safe?

I guess she just wasn't having it.

She said I didn't love her.

And she stormed up.

And then what happened?

We argued in the parking lot.

I don't wanna do this anymore.

Do what?

I'm gonna go home.

You're done.

Frank, get out of here.

Don't walk home.

Don't walk home then.

In the rain.

She was just out of her head, you know,

screaming at me and walked off.

And what did you do?

Followed her at first, but

it was cold, it was raining.

I remember getting in my

car, so I was parked next to

Ronald Parker in 217.

My niece is born February 17th, so that's just the end

of the day. I was born February 17th, so that's just,

pulled me out of

everything and turned around

and just drove home.

And we'd see each other the

next day and we'd work it out.

Like, like always.

Look, was I stupid for not

wanting to move in with her

so I could see her face every day?

Absolutely, yeah.

I could never put my

hands on her like that.

I couldn't do that to her.

I loved her.

Now look, I understand.

My past, the mistakes that I've made,

I know what you're

thinking, I do, and I get it.

But I'm not that guy anymore.

Okay, I've changed.

I left that life

behind me and I, you know,

I thought I was doing really good.

I don't know what happened.

I went home, I drove home.

I know how difficult

this is for you, James.

You take your time.

Let me know when you're ready.

I'm good.

I'm gonna show you a video now, okay?

And then I'm gonna

ask you some questions.

(dramatic music) Did you see that?

Did you miss or make?

I didn't miss.

You missed.

I'll let me help you.

You're a good luck.

Yeah.

I was.

I'll let you.

Okay, damn it.

Okay.

Who took that video?

Kendall.

When?

October 25th of last year.

And where?

The Roudish Hideaway.

Thank you, James. No more questions.

Prosecution, your witness.

Mr. Seuss, you just stated

that you loved Kendall Carter.

Is that right?

More than anything.

And on the night of October 25th, you and

Kendall drove to the Roudish Hideaway.

Is that right?

We took my car in.

And when you got there, the

two of you started drinking.

Is that right?

Yeah, it's a bar.

And then the two of you started arguing.

Is that right?

Yeah.

And during this argument, you knocked a

beer bottle off the table.

Is that right?

Yeah, it was an accident.

And then she left and you went after her.

Is that right?

Yeah.

And outside, the argument continued.

And it is your sworn testimony that you

lift Kendall Carter

alone to walk down a narrow,

two-lane road in the dark, drunk in the

pouring rain in the

middle of a thunderstorm.

Is that how you treat someone you love?

No, Your Honor.

Are there any further

questions from the defense?

No, Your Honor. The defense rests.

Thank you for your

testimony. You can step down.

Members of the jury, the

evidence in this case is now closed.

Attorneys, you may give your closing

arguments at this time.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

Kendall Carter's murder was a savage

crime committed by an evil man.

An innocent man.

An innocent man who was shattered from

losing the love of his life.

We have an eyewitness who saw him at the

crime scene at the time of death.

In the middle of the

night, in a blinding rainstorm.

It could have been anyone.

When she broke up with him that night,

and he realized she meant it, he snapped.

And so he bludgeoned her.

No murder weapon was

recovered. Nothing. Nothing.

The defendant's DNA was all over the

victim. No one else's.

The state says there was DNA. Of course

there was DNA. Of

course. They were a couple.

Until they weren't.

James Seif bravely took the stand and

admitted to some difficult truths.

That? That was all a

performance. Nothing else.

Look, I think we can all agree on this.

The person responsible for Kendall

Carter's death deserves to face justice.

That person is James Seif.

But that person, that

evil man, is still out there.

All I ask is that you deliver a verdict

that speaks the truth.

The truth about what happened to Kendall.

The truth about what happened on Old

Choir Road that night.

And the truth about him.

And the truth about him is that James

Michael Seif is guilty.

Find him guilty.

The truth is, James Seif is not guilty.

Find James Seif. Not guilty.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Thanks. Um, excuse me everyone. If, if

nobody objects, I'd really like to throw

my name into the ring

to be the four woman.

I've served on multiple

juries. I know the ropes.

Cool.

Yeah, I'm sure I have.

Okay, great. Thanks.

Okay, so right now we can do one of two

things. We can vote and

talk or talk and vote.

I suggest that we just vote and just get

an idea where we all

stand. Does that sound good?

Yeah.

Okay, so I vote guilty.

Yes, ma'am. Me too.

Me three. This whole

thing's such a shame.

Yeah, I definitely think that you did it.

Definitely. I agree.

Everything fits together.

Yeah, let them rock.

Amen.

Nine. So that is nine for guilty.

You sir?

Yeah, oh yeah. Yeah, guilty's cool.

Okay. And...

Oh, you sir. How about you?

Kids should have played it out.

And then there was one.

All right, so what's it

gonna be? Whether it's a what?

Don't you want to get

on to your pregnant wife?

Of course I do.

All right, so what's the problem?

Now, if this is somebody's life we're

dealing with, we

shouldn't at least talk about it.

This is a joke.

No, it's a deliberation. You were ready

to send this man to prison.

Maybe forever, just like that.

And?

I heard the facts of the case, did you?

All right. Will he improve beyond a

reasonable doubt that he was innocent?

Well, he doesn't have to. The burden of

proof is on the prosecution.

Does anyone have even the slightest

hesitation that James Seitz is guilty?

I mean...

Look, if you have to

think, you aren't sure.

No. What I'm sure of is I got three kids

at home I gotta get back to.

But we all have lives,

none of us want to be here.

Okay, how about we... Why don't you just

tell us what your issue is, or your

issues are, and then we

can all talk through it.

Oh, I don't have an issue.

Okay, so you just

like pissing me off then?

By what?

Look, I have questions.

Nah, that's just your guilt talking.

What do you mean?

You want to go home to your little

neighborhood and tell them, "Well, you

did right by that boy. We gave him a fair

shake just like anybody else."

Oh, man, hold up. Why are

you getting on him like that?

Hey, mind your own damn business, all

right, little fella?

Excuse me.

Every... Enough of, Sophie.

Please, Mr. Kent, go on.

Thank you, ma'am.

All I'm trying to say is let's put

everything else aside for a minute and

just remember two key points.

One, Syth went to trial and said taking a

plea, and two, he testified

instead of taking the fifth.

Right? I mean, it doesn't mean he's

innocent, but I think he's earned just a

few hours of our time just to be sure.

He's right. Right. We should take the

time and we should go over it.

Fine. Fine. But it's a waste of time. Any

other group of 12 people would arrive at

the exact same decision we did.

Mm-hmm. That part right there.

The state has the truth on its side.

James' side is going

to pay for what it did.

And I will get justice for Kendall Carter

and every woman who is a

victim of domestic abuse.

How do you feel about the latest polling

that a verdict in the side trial carries

a five-point swing in the

district attorney reign?

Oh, come on. You know I can't comment on

that. Okay. Thank you, everybody.

So I'm just going to start with what I

think is the most damning evidence, which

was the man who saw Syth on the road at

the railing directly above where Kendall

Carter's body was found.

Yes, exactly. So what's

Lutte even talk about?

I mean, he was a few hundred feet away

looking from across the bridge. And it

was the middle of the

night through pouring rain.

Yeah, and I've actually done a bunch of

landscaping work up there. That whole

area is covered by

trees, it'd be hard to see.

The man made a positive identification.

Yeah, but dude's kind of ancient, though.

Well, this old bird has

20-20 vision with my glasses.

Come on, y'all. It's his testimony. He's

not lying. Why would he lie? And the

question here means that we think he's

lying. I don't think he's

lying. Think he's lying?

No, I don't think he's lying.

Okay, so what the hell

are we talking about?

Look, I'm just saying, okay, the man, he

saw somebody at the railing, right? Can

we all agree on that?

Yeah, sure.

Okay, so isn't it possible that he saw

someone other than James Syth?

No, we can go back and forth all day on

possibilities. That's not helpful.

Well, I think we should.

No, no, no, no. That's not our job. Our

job is to just weigh the facts.

Okay, fact. 32% of homicides occur

between domestic partners.

Fact, the police arrested James Syth two

days after they found the body. Fact,

they never questioned any other suspects.

You watch too much TV, old man.

Okay.

Here a cop.

I was. 22 years robbery homicide.

Bonnie took the buyout, came down here to

get away from those brutal Midwest

winters and be closer to the grandkids.

Why didn't you tell the lawyers?

Because nobody asked.

What do you ask?

About that. Their loss is our gain. So

what do you think an officer?

Detective. Look, I think it seems to me

like the police, you know, follow the

evidence, found their

guy, built their case.

Okay, so what's that?

Maybe nothing, but tunnel vision like

that can really bite you in the ass.

They feed side to that eyewitness. So of

course that's who we IDs. Now they're

sure they got their guy.

So they just ignore anything that doesn't

help their case. They

stop asking questions.

Confirmation bias.

Confirmation bias. Exactly.

There's no bad intentions. It's just a

bunch of people trying to do the right

thing and can't see

everything they're doing wrong.

It's a good point.

And what about this blunt instrument

murder weapon they kept talking about?

Prosecutors said they couldn't recover

it. So we got rid of it. It's easy to do.

Or he could have killed her with

something other than a blunt instrument.

Like what?

Like a car? It could

have been a hit and run.

Holy shit.

Here, you're looking at me.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

You know, that's a really, really good

theory. Hit and run.

Yeah.

I mean, it's raining, it's night,

visibility has got to be terrible.

What we know is slippery

from the hikers testimony.

Wandering around in the

dark in the hills. Kids today.

It explains how she could

have ended up in a creek.

Okay, so side mowed her down instead of

bashing her head in. What

are we talking about here?

What difference does it

make? The guy is a piece of shit.

Look, my God is telling me

that that kid is not a killer.

Okay, the other day you voted guilty.

No, no, I never said guilty. I said he

should have taken the plea bargain.

He's got a weak case.

Maybe there's a reason for that.

Yeah, it's called a public defender.

I mean, nothing against this guy. He

seems pretty smart, but the PDs are

working ten times the caseload of the DA's office on a
friend.

The protection of the

budget is just not a fair fight.

Yeah, well nothing is anymore.

We'll just do the best we can.

I hear you.

And I got 22 years on the street that is

telling me there's a lot

more to this case than we know.

All right, then if you were still a

detective, what would you do?

Yeah.

All right, y'all. That's it for today.

See you back here at

9 a.m. Monday morning.

I almost forgot. Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Happy Halloween.

Hey, yeah, it has been a minute, but I

was hoping you could do me a solid.

Hang on a second.

Yeah, I'll be here.

We cannot break the law. We can only

break ourselves off the law.

No decision yet. We're

breaking for the weekend.

You're kidding. You never know what it

does in Strange to Gone Do.

Clearly. Okay, well

thanks for letting me know.

See you Monday.

Drink a drink.

Yeah, have a good one.

[music]

Hey, Ellen.

Yeah.

We're back at the job right now.

[door opens]

Hey.

Hi.

You got my text?

Oh, shit. Sorry.

Sorry, I forgot.

Does everything look okay?

You okay?

Hey, hey, what's wrong?

I'm scared.

I'm scared. We didn't make it this far

last time, but I'm just scared.

I don't want to be doing this alone. I

don't want to go to these things alone.

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be all right.

I don't understand why

you weren't there today.

How much longer is the

trial going to go on for?

I have no idea.

Are you close to a verdict?

I'm not supposed to discuss it.

Justin, are you close to a verdict?

It's ten to two. We're guilty.

So then Monday, can you just go in and

sway the two holdouts

and then be done with this?

Well, I'm one of them.

Why?

I'm sorry, but they took one look at this guy and that was
it.

No discussion of the evidence? Nothing. I

have to do something.

Everyone deserves a chance, right?

I can think of where I'd be

if you hadn't given me one.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah, sure. What?

If I were to sell the forerunner without

telling someone it was in a wreck, but

they're happy with the deal

and there's no safety risks.

It was in the hat, Justin.

I know, I know, but just go with me. If

they're never the wiser,

then did I do anything wrong?

No. I mean, I don't think so.

Going upstairs.

The food's in the fridge. See you upstairs.

There she is. Next round's on her.

Bourbon, meat, and

yeah, whatever he says.

What I'm having is a great evening. Isn't

it a beautiful evening?

Should have been a two hour verdict.

What can I tell you? They're taking their

jobs seriously. I gave

them a lot to think about.

How can a man live in it? You

gave them smoke and mirrors.

When they smoke, there's fire.

I admire your optimism.

Look, here's the thing. You walk into

court convinced of the

guilt of the defendant.

I have no illusions about what I do. A

lot of my clients aren't guilty and my

job is to help make the

best of a bad situation.

But I'm telling you, I'm telling you,

this guy didn't do it.

And the fact that the jury's taking a

little time gives me hope that things are

working the way they should.

Well, you enjoy that while it lasts.

To the justice system.

Ain't perfect. That's the best we got.

I know I can tell them. Trust your gut.

You do the right thing.

Oh, wait, wait, wait.

What's that?

It's my pitchfork.

Nice!

Hey, oh, maybe.

Hey, hey, hey, happy all the way in.

I love your costumes. Take two, everyone.

Oliver? Hey, Ms. Curson.

Oliver, I didn't even

recognize you. How are you?

Hey, Mr. Kim.

Hey, how's the writing going?

I want you to pay for now.

No way. That's awesome. Congrats.

Hey, have fun tonight.

We will. See you back at school?

Yeah. Next year.

Okay. Well, bye.

Bye.

God, he's a giant.

No.

Thanks.

Hey.

Hey.

Would you follow me

after court on Friday?

I picked your tail up like

halfway out of the parking lot.

I mean, green Toyota 4Runner, right?

Yeah. Well, you're not allowed to

investigate the case

outside the jury room.

Yeah. Yeah, I know. But...

I mean, somebody's got to.

Don't you want to know

what really happened?

Yeah.

Of course.

Look, I, uh...

I did some digging.

This is every registered car in the

county that was in for bodywork

between October 26th

and the end of last year.

You're still with the

hit and run, come on.

Yeah, because that's

a really good theory.

Now, the automakers keep a

detailed list of these repairs,

strictly for R&D purposes.

They collect it from

the dealer's pro forma

and then pay the mom and

pop shops under the table.

My partner and I recovered more cars than

an impound this way.

Right. But there must be

hundreds of cars in there.

Yeah. So, process it all.

Process the elimination, which is what I

spend my whole weekend doing.

I mean, anything there's

already a police report for,

crossed off the list.

Mm-hmm.

And there's only going to be a very

specific kind of damage

with this kind of hit and run.

So, I had light, grill, hood,

and narrowed down to 15 vehicles

that match that description on this list,

one of which, by the way, a

96-digoto 4Runner, 4-screen.

I mean, that's the exact

same car as yours, right?

I mean, if that is your car, we can just

cross it off the list.

Right. Yeah. So, it's

the plan with both of us.

If you don't mind helping.

There's only so many hours in the day,

and we've got to spend most of them here.

So, you want to help

me with the light work

and see if we can find our guy.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

You're reaching, but...

Look, it's a hit and run, kid.

I feel it in my bones.

Dumbers to donuts.

Our guy is on this list.

Oh, good morning.

Party time, y'all. Let's go.

Fellas, wrap it up. Thanks.

Let's go.

Goddamn it.

Uh...

Everything all right over here?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I'm working my nerves, Dave.

What is all this?

Just...you two, wait for me.

Read instruction 0.01 for me, please.

Uh...

"To maintain the

integrity of the jury system,

I remind you that you

must decide this case

based only on the evidence

admitted during the trial

and the law I will explain to you.

You may not conduct

any research on your own

about this case or about any people

or places mentioned during the trial."

Sounds to me like you two violated

every sentence of that paragraph.

Your Honor, I move for a missed trial.

He's a former cop who knows what ideas he

put into juries' heads.

Failure to elicit his

previous employment during four-dear

is on you, Mr. Wesley.

It's misconduct.

Kick him off, Judge.

There's no need to start over.

Our resources are

already stretched so thin.

She's right.

Motion denied. Your Honor, you know.

As for you two...

You violated your oath. That's yours.

Your Honor, if I may, I, uh...

I upheld the oath I

took as a police officer

to never betray my

character, my integrity,

or the public trust.

Mr. Joukowsky,

you are hereby removed from jurorservice.

On account of your background, I'm going

to make an exception

and not find you in contempt of court.

Thank you, Your Honor.

So, Mr. Kemp, you are not a retired law

enforcement officer, are you?

No, no, Your Honor.

So, how do you explain your involvement

in this transgression?

I obtained those

documents on my own, Your Honor.

He didn't have anything to do with it.

Is that true?

I mean, did you look at these documents

or help to procure them

or know what Mr.

Joukowsky was intending to do?

No, Your Honor, I did not

look at them and I didn't help.

So, do you think that you can disregard

everything that you heard just now

and remain an unbiased

member of this panel?

Yes, I can.

I'm going to take you at your word,

if I let you go up.

Please escort Mr. Kemp

back to the juror room.

Mr. Joukowsky, you are dismissed.

I would ask that a copy of these

documents be made part

of the court's records

for purposes of appeal and

again, I move that Mr. R...

The documents will be

marked as courts exhibit one.

Your motion for a

mistrial is denied, Mr. Resnick.

Is that understood?

Yes, Your Honor. It's understood.

Good. Then we are done here.

You've got to be kidding me.

What?

Are resources a stretch so thin?

You are something.

Okay.

Counselor.

Hey, it's okay. I'm not on the jury

anymore. I don't have to.

Yeah, make sure of that.

You're feeling the pressure, huh?

In this job?

Yeah.

Okay.

Hey, I'm sorry, but I just...

I can't not say this. You...

You got this case all wrong.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

It's a hit and run.

No way. Emmy would have flagged it.

Wow. Yeah, you'd think.

I counted five autopsies

that day. One day, I checked.

Doesn't mean anything.

Let me just ask you one thing.

Did you guys ever look

at any other suspect?

We did our job.

I'll do respect, Counselor. If you'd have

done your job, I don't think we'd be

standing here right now.

Well, that guy is bad news.

Maybe.

But he didn't kill that girl.

Alright, so with that being said, Judge

Stewart thanks you for your patience and

apologizes for any inconvenience.

Jury number 13 is now a

voting member of this panel. Okay?

I'll let you guys get back to it.

So what happened?

What was this misconduct?

The lies between him and the judge.

Bullshit. You were

there. What did Harold do?

He was investigating the case on his own.

The judge sent him home.

What about that stack of papers?

What papers? The ones Harold gave.

Don't you drop them all

over the floor. We all saw it.

The bailiff was on us

before I left the papers.

You were talking for quite a while. Did

he tell you what was in them?

Uh, yes, he did. It was a printout.

Names, vehicle registrations.

He said that it could

prove James Sykes is.

So what?

Were you supposed to believe

you now and change our vote?

I'm just telling you what I know.

He thinks it was a hit and win.

So if he thinks it was a hit and win,

Kendall was by five.

If she was hunched over and

the car was in SUV or a truck,

she could have easily then hit smack

across the head and torso.

Look at the way her

shoulders are fractured.

I'm sorry, but are you a doctor?

Not yet. Fairly a master.

I mean, I think we should

leave that to the professionals,

the medical examiner

who examined the body.

Well, I mean, doctors can be careless.

Look, one time they told my daddy he was

having a heart attack.

Turned out it was just gas.

You're always in such a rush. Go ahead,

dear. Speak your mind.

The right and left club we call. Both show a very clean
break.

What's this about? She couldn't get that from the phone.

It's not likely.

Both phones had to be broken by a single,

sharp posterior impact.

Pow.

Dude, we know if

Slice's car had any damage.

No, the police would have noted it in their report if it
did.

Not if they thought it was irrelevant. Caught it. So you
sent my secret copy on to it?

No. I'm a dog groomer,

but I watch and listen

to a lot of true crime,

and the first rule is the husband did it.

Okay, well, husband,

boyfriend, same difference.

You agree that he's guilty, right?

He is a perfect suspect.

All right, thank you.

But the second rule of true crime

is that it's never the perfect suspect.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Perfect suspect.

Oh, my God.

I'm just sharing with you my experiences.

Your experiences.

Listening to crime podcasts.

Well, hold on.

And watching "Dayline."

Okay, well, that doesn't

make you Sherlock Holmes.

Well, thank you.

No, you burned through enough cases,

and you start to see certain patterns.

But I leave the detective

work to the foreign pointers.

Good, good. Good, because we're not

here to solve a mystery, okay?

All we're here to do is to sign if we're

positive James Seidt

that killed Kendall Carter.

Man.

I'm not.

Old poor we roll fees into the highway.

When traffic's heavy,

GPS will send you that way.

It gets busy.

Yeah, and at night, I mean, it's gnarly.

I nearly mowed down a deer once.

What if that's what they thought?

Who thought?

Whoever hit Kendall Carter.

Yeah, man, I mean, that

all makes sense, but...

what about our eyewitness?

Maybe he saw someone else?

Okay, hold up. Wait a minute.

Y'all got way too many

maybes for my liking, huh?

And too many maybes is reasonable now.

I agree with Justin.

Yeah.

Okay.

Kayco?

Ellie?

I'm not sure anymore that

this young man is guilty.

Right. Okay. Anyone else?

Not guilty.

Okay.

I fell asleep on Highway 17 and woke up in the ditch.

I think I had the hospital's close.

Hmm.

Okay.

Thank you for your time.

Yep.

We were street racing down Greek Road. It was dumb, you
know. [door closes]

Guilty.

Guilty?

Not guilty.

Guilty.

All right. Looks like we're 6 to 6.

We're deadlocked.

Okay, so what do we do now?

Feels like the more we

talk, the less we know.

I'm so tired.

You're so stoned in.

Let's go back to the beginning.

Be with that case. Piece by piece.

No, no. Let's stop wasting our damn time.

I'm not gonna do it. Take a breath. It's been a long day.

But, you know, votes have changed, right?

The process is working.

No, it's not. You are wearing us down.

Talking a lot but saying nothing.

You know, you go over

anything enough times,

yeah, we'll start to question it.

Yeah, like which shoes to wear.

Yeah, look.

We got all these theories,

y'all, but no new evidence.

Yeah, but those theories
are making some of us question it.

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. No, no, no, you can

question it all you want,

but I know he's guilty.

Just look at his damn neck.

Okay, my man, I know you got a picture of

him in that book of yours.

I mean, yeah, not today.

It's not perfect, but...

Yes, see? Right there.

Snake and the crown.

That's the west side crowns. They're the biggest of the
world. Snake and the crown.

That's the west side crowns.

They're the biggest

drug pushers in the city.

How do you know that?

Because I run the Boys and Girls Club.

These guys are

poisoning their own community.

This case is personal to you.

Yeah, well, you're damn right it is.

My little brother was

14 when he got inked.

A month before his 17th

birthday, he was dead.

Caught a straight bullet in

some tit for tat turf bullshit.

I'm sorry, I had no idea.

Yeah, that's right. You have no idea.

Look, Seythe did say that

he left that life behind.

There's only one way to leave that crew.

So you can keep

talking about your theories?

Look, people can change.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

I do every day.

Well, I drive a bus, and I see the same

people day in and day

out, and they do not change.

Well, then how am I sitting here?

What are you talking about?

I should be dead.

I should.

A little over four years ago, I wrapped

my car around a tree with

a blood alcohol that'll...

Probably should have killed me before I

even got in the car.

And somehow, I walked

away with barely a scratch.

Lucky you.

Yeah, part of my

sentence was community service.

I spent three days a week in an

elementary school teaching

kids how to write alcoholics.

We can charm anybody.

But the teacher I was reporting to, she

was Teflon, she saw right through me.

She made me finally want to, you know,

all my shit, and just take

responsibility for myself.

I'm still not sure what I did to get a

woman like her to give me a chance, but

her belief and believing in myself that I

could change, that was...

That was, you know, the first step.

And, look, the journey never ends, I know

that, but that's four years.

And am I the same man that I was four

years ago? No. Absolutely not.

Yeah, well, now I can see you. You

changed. But guys like

James Seidt, they don't change.

Okay, think back to his testimony. That

was raw and real, and I believed it.

Wait, hold on, gang. If

Seidt didn't do it, then who did?

We don't have to answer that.

So no one's gonna pay for it after that?

No, someone will pay.

How do you know that?

Because somebody always does. I get how

you feel, but you can't

let your feelings sway you.

You don't know anything about me, man.

How old's your daughter? That's her on

the keychain, right?

Yeah, she turned 16 in March.

How often do you get to see her?

I'm often enough.

You know, during the trial, I was sat

right in Kendall's parents' eyeline.

I could see, I mean, their pain each day,

and, you know, what if

she were your daughter?

You want justice,

right? An eye for an eye.

Right, yeah. But then James Seidt's

family was in court each day, too.

You know, his grandma and his niece.

What if he were your son, right? When you

want justice for him, too?

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose I would.

So, how can I help you?

Well, I just want to have a little chat

about what happened here.

Just have a little one-on-one.

Maybe I could get some more information,

something that came to you new, you know?

Well, like I said at the trial, the

police come by, show me a picture, ask me

if he was a man I saw that night.

They'd show you any other pictures?

Oh, no, they knew it was him. They just

needed me to confirm it.

Right.

I was happy to do so.

Everyone was so generous.

And if I could say so, it felt pretty

good to be needed again.

I'm sure it did.

Right. Well, if there's anything else I

can do for you, just give

a holler. Tea's always hot.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Thanks for your time, sir.

James Seidt, it did

kill that girl, right?

Okay, so does anybody

else want to change the vote?

Um, well, it doesn't matter anyway.

What do you mean?

Because I haven't changed my mind.

All right, well, let's just keep talking.

No. No, I'm done talking.

Marcus.

So what, you're gonna tell the judge we

can't reach a verdict?

It is what it is.

But we're actually making progress.

Progress?

Yeah.

How can we continue if

we can't reach a verdict?

I've been at this for I don't even know

how long my kids need me.

I'm just trying to do my job here. Okay.

Um, Courtney, what about

you? Do you want to keep going?

I don't know. Look, he yelled at her. He

grabbed her arm. He called her a bitch.

He was possessive and temperamental.

No, he was abusive. Screw him.

Yeah. You're right. Screw him.

Great. For the third time, I get to go

home and tell my

husband, "Guess what, honey?"

I did nothing. He gets

a real kick out of that.

I'm sorry, Denise. I'm

not changing my vote.

Neither am I.

Yeah. Me too.

So what do we do then?

Um, there's one thing we could try.

Madam Foreperson,

sending a jury to visit a crime scene

once deliberations have begun is not

something I would typically allow.

With all due respect, your honor, this

has not been a typical deliberation.

But I do think it will be beneficial in

helping us reach a verdict.

I see.

Mr. Resnick, any objections?

No, Your Honor.

Okay. Ms. Kilbrue?

The state's fine with it.

All right, then.

Here are the rules.

During your visit, you are not to speak

to anyone outside of your jury panel,

nor are you to speak to

each other about this case.

All right, you are there to view the

locations in and around

where the crime took place,

and you are not to

collect evidence of any kind.

Does everyone understand these rules?

Yes, ma'am.

All right.

This court is adjourned.

Hey, hey, can we talk?

Great, great. I'll see you there. Thanks.

Hello?

Oh, hey, are you Allison Curzon?

Yes, I am. Yeah. Who are you?

I'm Faith Kilbrue. I'm a prosecutor with

the District Adjourners Office.

Do you mind if we talk?

I was just about to lay

down, but what is this about?

It'll only be a minute.

Okay, come in. Okay, thank you.

Sorry for the intrusion. I won't be long.

I'm following up on a few different

accidents from October last year,

just doing routine checks on any cars

that were serviced for major

body damage around that time.

Okay.

So on October 25th last year, did you own

a 1996 green Toyota 4Runner?

Yes.

Do you remember having anybody worked on

it around that time?

Yeah.

Okay. And how were your car damaged?

My husband Justin hit a deer.

Okay. Any idea where?

About in Brimstone Pass.

You sure?

Yeah.

Could it have been Old Quarry Road, or...

No, it was Brimstone Pass.

You're positive.

Positive.

Okay, great. Well, that's all I have.

Thank you very much for

your time, Mrs. Crucie.

And congratulations. What do you do?

Uh, yeah, any day now.

Good luck with that. You want me to do

anything before I go?

No, no.

Okay, well, I'll just see myself.

No, I'll get you out.

No, it's good.

Have a good one.

Thank you. Thanks for your time.

Bye.

Bye now.

Hey. Sorry I couldn't meet you earlier.

No worries.

What's on your mind?

The trial.

Oh, yeah, I figured.

It's headed for a hung jury.

Justin?

Thanks.

I got you a coffee.

Thanks.

Obviously, I want to acquit the guy,

but if the jury hangs,

it's a mistrial, right?

That's right.

So, problem solved.

Well, given all the press on this case,

the public's gonna demand a retrial.

It's gonna have to do it

all over again with sight,

unless the district

attorney's office decides

that he's not the guy,

then they'll find the guy.

There's no way that this

case ends without a verdict.

Once they get that, then, yeah, that's

over, then it's done.

So you're saying I need a verdict?

I'm afraid so.

Hey, can you meet me at county?)

(Hey.)

(Hey, is it okay?)

(Just checking the car. I might have a blighter.)

Why'd you hit that deer again?

Up on Brimstone Pass, right?

(I'm sorry, I'm sorry.) (I'm sorry.) (I'm sorry.) (I'm
sorry.) (I'm sorry.) (I'm sorry.) Brimstone Pass, right?

(Hmm.)

You're sure that it was

an old court of your own?

(I'm positive.)

That's...

Just as if that's...

positive that's what I said to the

prosecutor from your trial

when she just

interrogated me in her living room.

(What? She was here?)

Yeah.

I looked her up. She wanted

to know about your accident.

(Okay.)

(What'd you tell her?)

The truth...

that you hit a deer up on Brimstone Pass.

That is the truth, right?

Did you take the shortcut home through

old quarry that night?

Did you stop at Rowdy's Hideaway?

(I'm sorry.)

Did you drink?

Did you?

Justin? Did you drink?

Talk to me.

No, I didn't drink. I

didn't drink, okay? I...

I stopped and I... I ordered the drink

but I didn't touch it.

Ordered but didn't drink?

Why would I believe that?

Because that's the truth. I swear.

Why should I believe that? Why should I

believe anything that

you're saying anymore?

I swear to Jesus.

You swear to me.

I swear.

Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying. I promise. I

promise. That is the truth. Okay?

Look, it...

It...

It was the twins due date and I could

deal with the feelings I was having.

I couldn't deal with them so I... I

didn't want to bring them

home and put them on you.

So I went there. I sat there for a while

and then I... and then I came home.

Why didn't you tell me that it was me?

No.

Did you get this from... you could?

I wanted to but you were in so much pain.

Of course I was in pain.

I kept thinking that I

was somehow responsible.

That it was my fault.

That it's still my fault.

No, it was not your fault.

They were my baby.

It's not.

They were our babies.

I know. None of this is your fault.

We were both hurting. Still hurts.

I'm still hurting.

Me too.

No. No.

I'm not doing this alone.

No, you're not. You're not. You are not.

I will... I will

protect our family. I will.

I promise.

Okay.

Come here.

What the hell's going on?

I need to see him.

Why?

I need him to look me in the

eye and tell me he didn't do it.

So you're having douse?

I'm right.

Your dad...

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

Come on, you know something isn't right

here. The jury knows it. It's just...

Can you prove that's what happened?

Can you prove it didn't? Can you?

I don't know. Just get me in there.

[doorbell rings]

What are you doing here?

Have a seat.

I shouldn't be talking to you.

It's okay.

What do you want?

Same thing as you.

Justice for Kendall Carter.

So go find the son of a bitch who did it.

There's no jury, no

judge, no cameras, so just...

Tell me what happened that night.

I told you. I went home.

Right, but first you...

you followed her, right?

Yeah. I mean, she was wasted.

You felt angry and, I don't

know, sick of being played.

No, no. That wasn't it, okay?

It's just how Kenny was.

She'd get all worked up, you know, talk

to this big game, and the next day it'd

be like nothing happened.

She just needed to chill out.

Yes, okay.

I know our relationship wasn't perfect.

But we did love each other.

Now listen, lady, I've done a lot of

things in my life that I'm not proud of.

But I didn't do this.

The biggest regret of my wife...

He said I didn't go after

Kendall in my car that night.

Because if I did,

Kenny would still be alive.

I'm done.

All right, everybody

on the bus. Let's go.

Look, but don't touch.

(singing)

Okay, you ready to go?

(footsteps)

(sighs)

So this is where they fought.

(somber music)

movie promo music) (birds chirping)

Hey, you all right?

Yeah, you'll find things.

No, man.

You haven't been fine since the start.

I think you've been

playing us this whole time.

I don't know what you mean.

The day you got in the jury,

you were puking in the bathroom,

all that stuff with the

Flower Man cop in those papers.

You claim to be the voice of reason,

but you really just

tell us what we wanna hear.

Now, I don't know what

game you're playing, man,

but I see you.

Do I know exactly

what happened that night?

No.

But neither do you.

And you can't be any more sure

that James Saib got in his

car and drove home that night,

but I'm sure he picked

up one of these rocks

and bashed that poor girl's head in

and threw her body in the creek.

(water splashing)

Jesus, man.

You nearly slipped, yeah.

Maybe that hiker was right.

Could've slipped, yeah, maybe, maybe.

But it doesn't matter.

That piece of shit

left her there that night.

Alone to die in a ditch.

Her death is on him,

which is why I will never

acquit James Saib, ever.

The Stralians are only two ways,

either with conviction or a hung jury.

All right, is

everybody ready to head home?

Is everybody done here, please?

Yeah.

Let's go.

Have you seen enough?

Yeah.

(ominous music)

(engine revving)

(ominous music)

All rise.

(footsteps thudding)

Madam poor person.

Hasn't your every just a verdict?

Yes, your honor.

And is that verdict unanimous?

Yes, your honor.

(footsteps thudding)

Will the defendant please stand

for the reading of the verdict?

In the matter of State of

Georgia versus James Michael Saib,

case number CR20211715532,

we the jury find the

defendant James Michael Saib

guilty of count one malice murder.

Signed and dated this

day, Denise Allworth-Pors.

Madam poor person.

To the best of your knowledge,

was this your verdict in the jury room?

Was it freely and voluntarily given

and is this still your verdict?

Yes, your honor.

Very well.

Then the defender is hereby remanded

to the custody of the state.

Sentencing will be at a later date.

Thank you for your service.

It is now concluded.

This court is adjourned.

(somber music)

(asau

subatory can hear the vacancy beeps)

(enchanting siren sound)

(siren continues to pasta fanfare)

(much louder caterpillar sound) (eerie music)

(eerie music)

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

What time is it, sorry.

Soon, I'm ahead of.

You sure you wanna go?

Hey, Justin, he wasn't a good guy.

It's not your fault.

I didn't stand up for him.

I told him what they needed to hear

and said he couldn't change.

And I have to live with that, so.

At least I can do his beat here.

(door slams)

(door creaks)

Hi, Peter.

(crying)

(footsteps)

This came for you?

Okay.

(footsteps)

Will the defendant

please stand for sentencing?

The murder of Kendall

Carter was violent and senseless.

The jury has found you

guilty of that murder

for which this court

sentences you as follows.

Count one, malice murder,

life in prison without

the possibility of parole.

The defendant is hereby remanded

to the Department of Corrections

to serve the rest of his life in prison.

(footsteps)

My husband Justin hit a tear.

My wife is of a high-risk pregnancy.

(sighs)

This court is now adjourned.

(footsteps)

Hey.

I'm surprised you came today.

I wanted to see this through.

Yeah, me too.

I'm tired.

Likewise.

I have a new baby at home.

That's not what I meant.

Congratulations on winning your election.

I saw it in the paper.

Oh yeah, thank you.

It's a pretty big deal.

I've also worked hard for it.

Oh, I did.

There's a lot of good you can

do in that job, I'd imagine.

Sometimes.

It's not as easy as you think, though.

Ever as.

Sometimes you try to do the right thing

only to realize you got it all wrong.

And when you figure things out,

you realize the guy

you're after isn't some psycho.

He's not even really a criminal.

He's just a regular guy.

What I feel was an accident.

It's just no accident.

It's impossible to prove either way.

You know, just like him

not realizing at the time

that he hit someone with his cards.

You just have to trust him.

Why would I do that?

Because he's a good person.

He's caught in terrible circumstances.

Mm-hmm.

No, you're right.

This is a tough one.

He has a family depending on him,

just like you have

people depending on you.

And what about justice?

Well, sometimes the truth isn't justice.

You really believe that?

If you keep going with this,

the press will eat you alive, okay?

This case will follow you forever.

In the meantime, some

politician will take your job.

A criminal goes back on the street

and a good man and his

family will be just destroyed.

Yeah.

Where's the justice in that?

(tense music)

(birds chirping)

(tense music)

Looks like the storm passed.

Yeah, I think so.

(tense music)

Hello, where's our new DA?

Hey. Hey.

What's up, new DA? No.

Thanks. Yeah, that's real.

Easy plan, take care of it.

Really thrives on neglect.

How you did it.

Hope it was worth it.

Hail house later, goodbye.

(tense music)

Kung Fu.

And the four rudder is officially sold.

Okay.

(tense music)

Hi, what the fuck?

Good morning. Good data.

Yeah, there it goes. Yeah.

Come here, here we go.

Yeah, you're doing good.

Hi. It sucks.

I think she has my eyes.

Really? Yeah.

Oh. Yeah.

You're beautiful, I smell.

Look, I think maybe

mine changing a little bit.

Yeah, I...

She has my mouth. Hope not.

Definitely your elbows though.

My elbow, my elbow.

Look at your beautiful

elbows, you're blessed.

My greatest feature.

Hi.

My girls, my girls with beautiful elbows.

Yeah.

(knocking) Oh, could that be a time like this?

Hey, Peanut. Hello.

Hi, Eddie. Oh, okay.
