{\an8}by two separate,yet equally important groups:
5
00:00:11,219 --> 00:00:12,971
{\an8}the police,who investigate crime,
6
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,890
{\an8}and the district attorneys,who prosecute the offenders.

How is everything?

00:00:32,157 --> 00:00:34,701
- This turkey meatloaf
thing is sublime.
10
00:00:34,743 --> 00:00:35,952
I hope that means good.
11
00:00:35,994 --> 00:00:37,328
It means amazing.
12
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:39,539
It's all about the mint.
13
00:00:39,581 --> 00:00:42,667
- How long are you gonna
be here in this location?
14
00:00:45,378 --> 00:00:46,963
Another two weeks.
15
00:00:47,005 --> 00:00:48,798
I hope to see you real soon.
16
00:00:50,550 --> 00:00:52,552
- Hey, what's up, man?
- Hey.
17
00:00:52,594 --> 00:00:53,970
I've been waiting on your call.
18
00:00:54,012 --> 00:00:55,930
Sorry, I've been real busy.
19
00:00:55,972 --> 00:00:58,224
Okay, so?
20
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:00,435
Well, I'm here now.
21
00:01:00,477 --> 00:01:03,313
Now is not a good time.
22
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:04,773
Wait. Wait, for real?
23
00:01:04,814 --> 00:01:05,899
Come on, man.
24
00:01:05,940 --> 00:01:08,651
Oh, I forgot.
25
00:01:08,693 --> 00:01:09,861
You're a big shot.
26
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:11,071
Hey, don't make a scene.
27
00:01:11,112 --> 00:01:13,031
Or what? Huh?
28
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:14,157
- Hey, whoa, whoa,
take it easy.
29
00:01:14,199 --> 00:01:15,200
Hey, man. Walk away.
30
00:01:15,241 --> 00:01:17,160
Hey, come on, Cheese.
31
00:01:17,202 --> 00:01:19,829
Get out of here, now.

One victim, male, Black,
37
00:01:37,347 --> 00:01:39,641
appears to have been stabbed
in the chest.
38
00:01:39,683 --> 00:01:40,934
Vic got a name?
39
00:01:40,975 --> 00:01:42,602
Uh, Jordan Bryant.
40
00:01:42,644 --> 00:01:45,480
He's the owner of the pop-up,
whatever that means.
41
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,190
- Have we recovered
a murder weapon?
42
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:48,566
Not yet.
43
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:50,568
- Any sign this might
have been a burglary?
44
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:54,698
- Cell phone's there.
Wallet's on his body.
45
00:01:54,739 --> 00:01:56,825
- Let's bag those knives,
have them tested
46
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:58,660
for fingerprints and DNA.
47
00:01:58,702 --> 00:01:59,744
Got it.
48
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:01,287
Cameras?
49
00:02:01,329 --> 00:02:03,164
- Yeah, but the security
system has been shut off.

{\an8}- "Eat like it's your
last day on Earth."
51
00:02:10,171 --> 00:02:12,257
That's a catchy slogan.
52
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:14,634
Until it becomes true.

56
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:06,811
{\an8}- Jordan and I were, uh,
cleaning up for the night.
57
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:11,358
{\an8}And, um, I felt like a smoke,
so I walked over to a bodega,
58
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:14,819
{\an8}and I bought a pack
of cigarettes.
59
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:18,448
{\an8}When I walked back
into the restaurant,
60
00:03:18,490 --> 00:03:23,370
{\an8}I saw all this blood,
and then I saw Jordan.
61
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:25,747
{\an8}He was on the floor, and--
62
00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:27,457
{\an8}Hey, it's okay.
63
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:29,417
{\an8}Just take your time.
64
00:03:29,459 --> 00:03:32,545
{\an8}- So I--I started
to walk over to Jordan,
65
00:03:32,587 --> 00:03:34,422
{\an8}and--and I heard someone,
so I grabbed a knife
66
00:03:34,464 --> 00:03:36,841
{\an8}and I chased him
out to the street.
67
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,928
{\an8}And then what happened?
68
00:03:39,969 --> 00:03:41,304
{\an8}- Then he, uh--
69
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:43,890
{\an8}he jumped into a car
and he drove off.
70
00:03:43,932 --> 00:03:45,183
{\an8}What kind of car?
71
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:47,268
{\an8}BMW, black.
72
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:49,062
{\an8}- You happen to get
a look at the plate?
73
00:03:49,104 --> 00:03:50,397
{\an8}No.
74
00:03:50,438 --> 00:03:52,232
{\an8}Sorry, my--
my head was spinning.
75
00:03:52,273 --> 00:03:53,566
{\an8}Hey. It's okay.
76
00:03:53,608 --> 00:03:54,901
{\an8}You're doing great.
77
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:56,945
{\an8}- What about the guy?
You get eyes on him?
78
00:03:56,986 --> 00:04:01,074
{\an8}Tell me, uh,
skin color, height, build--
79
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,909
{\an8}White.
80
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:04,119
{\an8}Maybe Latino.
81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,913
{\an8}Average height, thin.
82
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:08,331
{\an8}How about clothing?
83
00:04:08,373 --> 00:04:10,583
{\an8}- He had a New York Islanders
cap on.
84
00:04:10,625 --> 00:04:13,420
{\an8}And, uh, he was wearing
a shiny green puffer jacket,
85
00:04:13,461 --> 00:04:15,088
{\an8}one of those expensive ones.
86
00:04:15,130 --> 00:04:17,340
{\an8}Had an M on it.
87
00:04:17,382 --> 00:04:19,300
{\an8}Like a logo?
88
00:04:19,342 --> 00:04:21,761
{\an8}Yeah, on the left sleeve.
89
00:04:21,803 --> 00:04:23,179
{\an8}- All right,
this is great, Chris.
90
00:04:23,221 --> 00:04:24,723
{\an8}Thank you.
91
00:04:24,764 --> 00:04:28,435
{\an8}Now, earlier in the night,
did anything unusual happen?
92
00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:32,397
{\an8}- Yeah, uh,
now that you mention it.
93
00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,149
{\an8}- So the waiter's
our only eyewitness.
94
00:04:34,190 --> 00:04:36,484
{\an8}He said the victim
got into a heated argument
95
00:04:36,526 --> 00:04:39,320
{\an8}earlier in the night,
almost came to blows.
96
00:04:39,362 --> 00:04:40,947
{\an8}He had to break it up.
97
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:42,657
{\an8}And then lo and behold, a few
hours later, the vic is dead.
98
00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:45,035
{\an8}- So was the guy in the
restaurant the same guy
99
00:04:45,076 --> 00:04:47,579
{\an8}the waiter said he saw
running from the murder scene?
100
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,664
{\an8}- He doesn't think so,
but you never know.
101
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:51,458
{\an8}I mean, it could be more than
one person involved, right?
102
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:53,752
{\an8}- So does the waiter know
the first guy's name?
103
00:04:53,793 --> 00:04:55,712
{\an8}- He doesn't know his name,
but he kept saying that the vic
104
00:04:55,754 --> 00:04:57,505
{\an8}referred to him as "Cheese."
105
00:04:57,547 --> 00:04:59,507
{\an8}He noticed a snake tattoo
on the forearm,
106
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:02,093
{\an8}so he's running the tattoo
and the alias
107
00:05:02,135 --> 00:05:03,386
{\an8}through the database now.
108
00:05:03,428 --> 00:05:05,722
{\an8}- All right, so what do we know
about the vic?
109
00:05:05,764 --> 00:05:07,098
{\an8}- There's not a lot
of data in the system,
110
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,516
{\an8}which is kind of weird.
111
00:05:08,558 --> 00:05:10,685
{\an8}So, I mean, his credit cards,
his driver's license,
112
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:12,645
{\an8}utility bills--
nothing tracks back
113
00:05:12,687 --> 00:05:14,856
{\an8}before 24 months or so.
114
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:16,066
{\an8}Hey.
115
00:05:16,107 --> 00:05:17,859
{\an8}Just confirmed our
eyewitness's statement.
116
00:05:17,901 --> 00:05:19,152
{\an8}He was, in fact,
out buying cigarettes.
117
00:05:19,194 --> 00:05:20,862
{\an8}Bodega he went to was about
10 minutes away
118
00:05:20,904 --> 00:05:22,989
{\an8}from the restaurant,
so theoretically,
119
00:05:23,031 --> 00:05:24,866
{\an8}our victim was alone
for about 20 minutes.
120
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:27,118
{\an8}- But is there any chance
the waiter could have done it?
121
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,120
{\an8}I mean, just because
he was buying cigarettes
122
00:05:29,162 --> 00:05:30,330
{\an8}doesn't mean he's innocent.
123
00:05:30,372 --> 00:05:31,831
{\an8}- I get it,
but we don't like him for it.
124
00:05:31,873 --> 00:05:34,000
{\an8}- No, there was no blood
on his hands or his clothes.
125
00:05:34,042 --> 00:05:35,377
{\an8}His story checks out.
126
00:05:35,418 --> 00:05:37,754
{\an8}- All right.
How about that black BMW?
127
00:05:37,796 --> 00:05:39,047
{\an8}Yes, we got video of that.
128
00:05:39,089 --> 00:05:40,674
{\an8}It passed by
an automotive repair shop
129
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:42,342
{\an8}a few blocks from the scene
130
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:44,177
{\an8}about two minutes
after the 911 call.
131
00:05:44,219 --> 00:05:46,513
{\an8}- And I don't suppose
the video captured the plates.
132
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:48,014
{\an8}- Did not.
- [knocks]
133
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:49,474
{\an8}Hey.
134
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:51,518
{\an8}So that snake tattoo comes
back to the Brooklyn Vipers.
135
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:53,478
{\an8}There's one dude
in the gang database
136
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,188
{\an8}who goes by the alias "Cheese."
137
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:59,484
{\an8}His name is Nick Perez, and he
has a pretty good rap sheet.

{\an8}Yeah?
143
00:06:12,664 --> 00:06:14,708
- Need to talk to you
about last night.
144
00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:16,084
- [sighs] Last night?
What you mean?
145
00:06:16,126 --> 00:06:18,461
- Word is you got into
a beef with the chef.
146
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:19,796
- What, you're here
about an argument?
147
00:06:19,838 --> 00:06:21,256
- Nah,
we're here about a murder.
148
00:06:21,297 --> 00:06:22,590
- Murder?
- Yeah.
149
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:23,717
The guy that you were
arguing with last night
150
00:06:23,758 --> 00:06:25,051
ended up getting stabbed.
151
00:06:25,093 --> 00:06:26,594
We're trying to figure out
what happened.
152
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:28,471
- Maybe you were involved?
Maybe you know who was?
153
00:06:28,513 --> 00:06:29,889
- I don't know nothing
about that.
154
00:06:29,931 --> 00:06:31,641
- Where were you last night
from 10:00 to 12:00?
155
00:06:31,683 --> 00:06:34,102
- Nah, nah.
I ain't playing this game.
156
00:06:34,144 --> 00:06:35,603
I want a lawyer.
157
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,105
I've been wrongly accused
of too many things.
158
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:39,107
- I bet you have. Come on.
- Then we'll make that happen.

- First off, my client
didn't kill anyone.
162
00:06:47,449 --> 00:06:48,825
Okay, if you say so.
163
00:06:48,867 --> 00:06:50,618
But we're gonna need
a lot more than that.
164
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:51,911
I liked Jordan.
165
00:06:51,953 --> 00:06:53,580
We grew up in the same
apartment complex,
166
00:06:53,621 --> 00:06:55,081
Hamilton Gardens.
167

such nice names, you know?
169
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:00,879
- So you and Jordan
were friends, then.
170
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,131
Yeah, you could say that.
171
00:07:03,173 --> 00:07:04,507
- And you could also say
you guys got in a fight
172
00:07:04,549 --> 00:07:05,884
last night
at his place of business.
173
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,594
We did not get into a fight.
174
00:07:07,635 --> 00:07:09,512
We got into an argument.
We argued.
175
00:07:09,554 --> 00:07:12,098
Then some pretty boy waiter
tried to get in the middle,
176
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,308
and that's it.
177
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:14,684
That's all that happened.
178
00:07:14,726 --> 00:07:15,935
Where were you last night
179
00:07:15,977 --> 00:07:17,395
between 11:00 p.m.
and midnight?
180
00:07:17,437 --> 00:07:18,688
My apartment.
181
00:07:18,730 --> 00:07:20,774
Uh, I got home at, like, 10:30.
182
00:07:20,815 --> 00:07:23,443
Check the security cameras
on my apartment complex.
183
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:25,195
- All right.
We're gonna do that.
184
00:07:25,236 --> 00:07:26,529
Help me out here.
185
00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:28,448
So why did you go see
Jordan in the first place?
186
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:29,991
To talk business.
187
00:07:30,033 --> 00:07:31,951
I'm trying to expand
my operation.
188
00:07:31,993 --> 00:07:34,746
I'm trying to buy
a few food trucks,
189
00:07:34,788 --> 00:07:36,706
so I thought my boy Walker
would be the perfect fit.
190
00:07:36,748 --> 00:07:40,043
But then he changed his mind,
so we got into it.
191
00:07:40,085 --> 00:07:42,796
- Hold on a second.
Who's Walker?
192
00:07:42,837 --> 00:07:45,090
I had the ME run
Jordan's fingerprints.
193
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:47,175
Turns out his birth name
was Jordan Walker,
194
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:48,677
not Jordan Bryant.
195
00:07:48,718 --> 00:07:51,137
- Court records show he
changed his name two years ago,
196
00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:53,223
a few weeks after he was
released from prison.
197
00:07:53,264 --> 00:07:55,016
Prison? What was he in for?
198
00:07:55,058 --> 00:07:58,269
- Served 12 years for the rape
and murder of a little girl.
199
00:07:58,311 --> 00:07:59,688
What?
200
00:07:59,729 --> 00:08:02,107
- But he was exonerated
based on DNA evidence.
201
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,526
- [sighs]
Damn.
202
00:08:04,567 --> 00:08:06,069
Guy finally gets
a taste of freedom
203
00:08:06,111 --> 00:08:08,530
only to wind up
with a knife in his chest.
204
00:08:15,495 --> 00:08:15,912
.
205
00:08:15,954 --> 00:08:17,038
- Jordan Walker was released
26 months ago.
206
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:21,209
Changed his surname
to Bryant shortly thereafter.
207
00:08:21,251 --> 00:08:23,378
Was Jordan actually innocent?
208
00:08:23,420 --> 00:08:26,506
- We finally tested the DNA
on the victim's body.
209
00:08:26,548 --> 00:08:27,841
Wasn't his.
210
00:08:27,882 --> 00:08:29,884
- So how was he convicted
in the first place?
211
00:08:29,926 --> 00:08:32,262
Same way most people are.
212
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:33,763
Bad ID.
213
00:08:33,805 --> 00:08:36,057
It's more common
than you think.
214
00:08:36,099 --> 00:08:38,018
Once that mighty ball
of justice gets rolling,
215
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:39,936
it's hard to stop.
216
00:08:39,978 --> 00:08:42,230
- Sounds like a cop-out.
- More like a fact.
217
00:08:42,272 --> 00:08:45,358
And in this particular case,
there was a lot of pressure.
218
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,403
Victim was a young,
affluent white girl.
219
00:08:48,445 --> 00:08:49,612
You know how it is.
220
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:51,072
I sure do.
221
00:08:51,114 --> 00:08:53,742
How's it going, gentlemen?
222
00:08:53,783 --> 00:08:54,951
Hey, DA Baxter.
223
00:08:54,993 --> 00:08:56,536
Good to see you.
224
00:08:56,578 --> 00:08:58,038
- How are you?
- Good.
225
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:00,331
- Kim was telling me about
what happened to Mr. Bryant.
226
00:09:00,373 --> 00:09:01,666
I want you to know
we're here to help,
227
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:02,751
anything you guys need.
228
00:09:02,792 --> 00:09:03,960
- Thank you.
We appreciate that.
229
00:09:04,002 --> 00:09:05,295
Any leads so far?
230
00:09:05,337 --> 00:09:06,755
- At the moment,
we're just trying
231
00:09:06,796 --> 00:09:08,089
to unravel what happened.
232
00:09:08,131 --> 00:09:09,883
How did he end up in prison
in the first place
233
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:11,426
and how he spent his time
after he was released.
234
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:13,053
Right.
235
00:09:13,094 --> 00:09:16,097
Well, like I said,
we'll do whatever you need.
236
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:19,267
You know, I worked a couple
wrongful conviction cases
237
00:09:19,309 --> 00:09:21,519
when I was in private practice,
pro bono.
238
00:09:21,561 --> 00:09:23,021
I loved it.
239
00:09:23,063 --> 00:09:26,149
Probably the most exhilarating
cases I've ever tried.
240
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,901
I bet.
241
00:09:27,942 --> 00:09:29,110
- Yeah, it's gotta be
an amazing feeling,
242
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:30,445
getting someone exonerated.
243
00:09:30,487 --> 00:09:31,780
I wouldn't know.
244
00:09:31,821 --> 00:09:34,491
I was 0 for 2.
[scoffs]
245
00:09:34,532 --> 00:09:36,993
The only two trials
I've ever lost.
246
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:40,705
He's right.
247
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:43,708
It's really hard to actually
get someone exonerated,
248
00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:45,460
- innocent or not.
- Yeah.
249
00:09:45,502 --> 00:09:48,046
- Powerful people hate
admitting they screwed up.
250
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:49,881
That is true.
251
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:51,841
Now, turning back
to Jordan for a second,
252
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:53,134
are you aware of any problems
253
00:09:53,176 --> 00:09:54,928
he was having
since his release?
254
00:09:54,969 --> 00:09:57,639
Anyone harassing him,
threatening him?
255
00:09:57,681 --> 00:09:58,807
Not to my knowledge.
256
00:09:58,848 --> 00:09:59,808
How about family?
257
00:09:59,849 --> 00:10:02,143
Was he married, any kids?
258
00:10:02,185 --> 00:10:04,020
We still have to make
a notification.
259
00:10:07,649 --> 00:10:10,402
{\an8}He died last night?
260
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:11,820
He did.
261
00:10:11,861 --> 00:10:13,488
Around midnight.
262
00:10:15,198 --> 00:10:17,158
- We're very sorry
for your loss.
263
00:10:18,535 --> 00:10:22,288
- Ms. Walker, we do have a
few questions, if that's okay.
264
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:25,667
Do you know if your father
was involved in any fights
265
00:10:25,709 --> 00:10:28,003
or altercations recently?
266
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:29,129
Not that I'm aware of.
267
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:31,214
Did he have any enemies?
268
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:33,550
- Well, there are the fellas
from the old neighborhood,
269
00:10:33,591 --> 00:10:35,885
the ones who never
visited him in prison,
270
00:10:35,927 --> 00:10:37,637
the ones who couldn't care less
that he was suffering
271
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,055
in some concrete hole.
272
00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:42,600
The second he collected
that $10 million settlement,
273
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,686
they acted like he had
some sort of obligation
274
00:10:44,728 --> 00:10:46,062
to share it with them.
275
00:10:46,104 --> 00:10:49,107
- Your dad actually got paid?
He won 10 million?
276
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:51,401
I'm not sure he won anything.
277
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:54,070
But yes, he reached
a settlement with the city.
278
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:58,533
But the truth is,
we weren't that close.
279
00:11:02,996 --> 00:11:05,206
I tried.
280
00:11:05,248 --> 00:11:06,916
But it was really hard
to connect with him.
281
00:11:08,376 --> 00:11:10,170
Just because somebody
gets exonerated
282
00:11:10,211 --> 00:11:11,421
doesn't mean you
snap your fingers
283
00:11:11,463 --> 00:11:13,673
and the world is
suddenly perfect
284
00:11:13,715 --> 00:11:16,051
and the past 12 years
didn't actually happen.
285
00:11:16,092 --> 00:11:18,136
[pensive music]
286
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:19,387
He tried, though.
287
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:25,143
Gave me $100,000.
288
00:11:25,185 --> 00:11:28,355
I was able to pay off
my student loans.
289
00:11:28,396 --> 00:11:30,523
- We just have a few
more questions, okay?
290
00:11:30,565 --> 00:11:32,108
We're almost done.
291
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:34,194
Can you tell us the last time
that you spoke to your father?
292
00:11:34,235 --> 00:11:36,154
The last time you saw him?
293
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:37,447
A couple of days ago.
294
00:11:37,489 --> 00:11:39,074
- And did he mention
anything unusual then?
295
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:41,201
He was upset.
296
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:43,828
He'd just split up
with his business partner.
297
00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:45,705
It got pretty ugly too.
298
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:55,465
- Jordan was a great chef
and a terrible businessman.
299
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:57,759
He just--he didn't seem
to understand that the goal
300
00:11:57,801 --> 00:11:59,511
- was to actually make money.
- All right, look.
301
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,429
This is a video
of you and Jordan
302
00:12:01,471 --> 00:12:05,350
arguing outside his apartment
two days ago.
303
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:07,727
So?
304
00:12:07,769 --> 00:12:09,979
- So you wanna tell us
what you were fighting about?
305
00:12:10,021 --> 00:12:11,398
Money.
306
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,566
Or to be more precise,
the lack of money.
307
00:12:13,608 --> 00:12:15,819
He was overspending
on everything.
308
00:12:15,860 --> 00:12:19,197
He blew five grand on cutlery,
another ten on artwork.
309
00:12:19,239 --> 00:12:21,032
And then, just when things
couldn't get any worse,
310
00:12:21,074 --> 00:12:23,702
he and his buddies decided
to throw an after-hours party
311
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:26,287
and drink ten bottles
of our most expensive wine.
312
00:12:26,329 --> 00:12:29,666
So yeah, I was pissed.
313
00:12:29,708 --> 00:12:31,251
And sad, too, you know?
314
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:34,462
I--I really wanted it
to work out.
315
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:36,172
- You mind telling us
where you were last night
316
00:12:36,214 --> 00:12:38,341
between 10:00 and 12:00?
317
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:41,803
- At a charity event
in Harlem for at-risk youth.
318
00:12:41,845 --> 00:12:44,264
I'm on the board.
319
00:12:44,305 --> 00:12:46,307
- All right, Charles,
if there's anything else
320
00:12:46,349 --> 00:12:48,393
that you know,
or if you have any idea
321
00:12:48,435 --> 00:12:51,146
who might have done this...
322
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:54,149
- The father of that girl
who was raped and killed
323
00:12:54,190 --> 00:12:56,276
14 years ago,
he wasn't too happy
324
00:12:56,317 --> 00:12:57,569
about Jordan getting released.
325
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,196
He refused to believe
he was actually innocent.
326
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:01,698
How do you know?
327
00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:04,451
- He showed up at one of our
pop-ups a few months back,
328
00:13:04,492 --> 00:13:06,161
and he went after Jordan hard.
329
00:13:06,202 --> 00:13:07,620
He told everyone
in the damn place
330
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:10,248
that Jordan was a rapist
and a murderer.
331
00:13:10,290 --> 00:13:12,167
[suspenseful music]
332
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,835
He threatened to kill him too.
333
00:13:13,877 --> 00:13:17,547
* *
334
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:23,511
.
335
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:24,387
- I can't believe
Jordan's dead.
336
00:13:25,180 --> 00:13:26,556
It's crazy.
337
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:31,186
I mean, Jordan never
should have been arrested,
338
00:13:32,062 --> 00:13:32,979
let alone convicted.
339
00:13:33,021 --> 00:13:34,689
But that's on me.
340
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:37,525
I'm the one who ID'd him,
in court, under oath.
341
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:39,652
- So you recognize that
Jordan was innocent?
342
00:13:39,694 --> 00:13:41,488
Yeah, I do now.
343
00:13:41,529 --> 00:13:43,656
- Even though
you were harassing him?
344
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:44,908
You chased him down
to a restaurant.
345
00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:46,159
You called him a murderer.
346
00:13:46,201 --> 00:13:49,662
- I'm not proud of the way
I acted, trust me.
347
00:13:49,704 --> 00:13:53,583
I just--I didn't wanna
believe he was innocent.
348
00:13:53,625 --> 00:13:54,793
Then I talked to the woman
349
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,170
at the post-conviction
justice unit.
350
00:13:57,212 --> 00:13:58,380
I asked her
to go over the case,
351
00:13:58,421 --> 00:14:01,424
show me the actual DNA results.
352
00:14:01,466 --> 00:14:03,093
I realized I was wrong.
353
00:14:03,134 --> 00:14:05,428
- We noticed that you made
ten phone calls to him
354
00:14:05,470 --> 00:14:06,763
the week prior to his murder.
355
00:14:06,805 --> 00:14:08,014
What were you two
talking about?
356
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:09,182
I was trying to help him.
357
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:10,266
With what?
358
00:14:10,308 --> 00:14:11,685
Life.
359
00:14:11,726 --> 00:14:13,687
Even though Jordan was free,
he was struggling.
360
00:14:13,728 --> 00:14:15,188
He didn't seem to have
much money, either--
361
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:17,148
or access to money, anyway.
362
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:18,942
So I helped him out.
363
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:20,568
I loaned him $20,000.
364
00:14:20,610 --> 00:14:22,237
What are you talking about?
365
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:23,738
The guy just won
a $10 million settlement.
366
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:30,370
- So we did a deep dive
into Jordan's finances.
367
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:31,955
Turns out he was almost broke.
368
00:14:31,996 --> 00:14:34,374
Had about 15 grand
in his various accounts.
369
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:35,709
- Well, where'd all
the money go?
370
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:37,669
He had a $10 million
settlement.
371
00:14:37,711 --> 00:14:40,797
- I know, but somehow, he only
ended up getting about 1.1.
372
00:14:40,839 --> 00:14:42,590
And he blew through that
pretty quick too.
373
00:14:42,632 --> 00:14:45,468
Nothing crazy,
but typical stuff--rent,
374
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:47,220
clothes, business expenses.
375
00:14:47,262 --> 00:14:48,388
Gave his daughter 100 grand.
376
00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:49,723
All right.
377
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:51,933
So where did the
other $8.9 million go?
378
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:54,686
- Well, according
to the city comptroller,
379
00:14:54,728 --> 00:14:57,022
a lump sum
of $10 million was paid
380
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,231
directly to Jordan's lawyer.
381
00:14:58,273 --> 00:14:59,566
[scoffs]
382
00:15:05,488 --> 00:15:07,032
{\an8}- I hate to breakthe news, fellas,
383
00:15:07,073 --> 00:15:09,701
{\an8}but getting justice for someone
isn't cheap,
384
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:11,953
whether or not
they're innocent.
385
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:13,538
- I never said it was cheap,
but still,
386
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:15,290
I mean,
he was awarded 10 million
387
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:17,125
and he only deposited 1.
388
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:20,253
Yeah, well, it is what it is.
389
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:22,005
Can you be any more specific?
390
00:15:22,047 --> 00:15:25,633
- We worked on his criminal
appeal for free, pro bono.
391
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:27,427
Didn't charge him a penny.
392
00:15:27,469 --> 00:15:30,263
But it costs over a million
in hard costs--
393
00:15:30,305 --> 00:15:34,434
private investigators,
paralegals, forensic examiners.
394
00:15:34,476 --> 00:15:37,479
This is money he has
to pay back with interest.
395
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,481
What else was deducted?
396
00:15:39,522 --> 00:15:42,442
My fee, 55%.
397
00:15:42,484 --> 00:15:43,902
That's pretty high.
398
00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:47,113
- I take a lot of risk,
spend a lot of my own money.
399
00:15:47,155 --> 00:15:49,074
Still pretty high.
400
00:15:49,115 --> 00:15:51,951
Maybe, but I'm worth it.
401
00:15:51,993 --> 00:15:53,787
But why are you guys
really here?
402
00:15:53,828 --> 00:15:56,539
What does any of this have
to do with Jordan's murder?
403
00:15:56,581 --> 00:15:58,041
- Well, that's a
very good question.
404
00:15:58,083 --> 00:16:00,877
We were kind of hoping
you might be able to tell us.
405
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,713
- I'm sorry.
I--I don't have a clue.
406
00:16:03,755 --> 00:16:05,590
- Were you aware
of any problems or issues
407
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,050
he was having
with anybody harassing him
408
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:08,385
or threatening him?
409
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:09,803
I'm not sure.
410
00:16:09,844 --> 00:16:13,473
I'm guessing the answer
is a resounding yes.
411
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:14,808
Now, why would you say that?
412
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:17,727
- The man spent
12 years in prison.
413
00:16:17,769 --> 00:16:19,688
I bet he made a lot of enemies.
414
00:16:25,318 --> 00:16:27,779
- This article says Keith
Palmer has the highest number
415
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:30,240
of exonerations in the state.
416
00:16:30,281 --> 00:16:31,741
Great. He gets results.
417
00:16:31,783 --> 00:16:33,827
Doesn't mean he's not a crook.
418
00:16:33,868 --> 00:16:35,912
Two things can be true at once.
419
00:16:35,954 --> 00:16:37,622
- Looks like Jordan
wasn't too happy
420
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:39,082
with his attorney's
fee structure, either.
421
00:16:39,124 --> 00:16:41,042
He filed a complaint
with the New York Bar
422
00:16:41,084 --> 00:16:43,503
two weeks ago,
claims Keith Palmer
423
00:16:43,545 --> 00:16:45,171
conned him out of $3 million.
424
00:16:45,213 --> 00:16:48,341
And it looks like he was about
to go public with it too.
425
00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:49,718
Good for him.
426
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:51,177
- The question is,
is that enough of a motive
427
00:16:51,219 --> 00:16:52,512
for someone like Palmer?
428
00:16:52,554 --> 00:16:54,764
I mean, would he
really kill over that?
429
00:16:54,806 --> 00:16:57,392
- It's possible.
- Why, you got something?
430
00:16:57,434 --> 00:16:59,310
- Well, I've been
looking into Palmer, too,
431
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:01,980
and it looks like he's about
to be appointed a judge.
432
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,857
- So yeah, now would be
a really bad time
433
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:05,942
to have your pants
pulled down by a client,
434
00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:08,111
especially one as sympathetic
as Jordan Bryant.
435
00:17:08,153 --> 00:17:10,363
- All right, go back and talk
to the waiter again.
436
00:17:10,405 --> 00:17:12,032
Let's see if he can ID Palmer.
437
00:17:12,073 --> 00:17:13,199
- Mm-hmm.
438
00:17:13,241 --> 00:17:14,868
It all happened pretty fast.
439
00:17:14,909 --> 00:17:16,453
I'm not sure that
I'll be able to remember
440
00:17:16,494 --> 00:17:17,454
what he looked like.
441
00:17:17,495 --> 00:17:18,538
It's okay.
442
00:17:18,580 --> 00:17:20,582
Let's take a look at these.
443
00:17:20,623 --> 00:17:23,251
If any of them jump out,
go ahead and point, all right?
444
00:17:23,293 --> 00:17:24,711
No pressure.
445
00:17:24,753 --> 00:17:27,047
- I've definitely
seen this guy before.
446
00:17:27,088 --> 00:17:28,465
How do you know him?
447
00:17:28,506 --> 00:17:31,384
- He used to come to Jordan's
pop-ups with his wife.
448
00:17:31,426 --> 00:17:32,510
They were nice.
449
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:33,762
Good tippers too.
450
00:17:33,803 --> 00:17:35,472
- How about the guy
that you saw running out
451
00:17:35,513 --> 00:17:37,140
of the restaurant that night?
452
00:17:37,182 --> 00:17:39,559
If he's there, let us know.
453
00:17:42,145 --> 00:17:44,647
- He was wearing
a shiny green jacket,
454
00:17:44,689 --> 00:17:47,734
and he had
a New York Islanders hat on.
455
00:17:47,776 --> 00:17:50,070
Yeah, um, you already told us
456
00:17:50,111 --> 00:17:51,738
about the hat and the jacket,
so.
457
00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,114
- We're gonna focus
on the faces for now.
458
00:17:53,156 --> 00:17:55,283
The man that you saw running
out of the restaurant,
459
00:17:55,325 --> 00:17:56,368
if you see him there, point.
460
00:17:56,409 --> 00:17:57,577
If not, don't.
461
00:17:57,619 --> 00:18:00,538
[tense music]
462
00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:04,042
* *
463
00:18:04,084 --> 00:18:06,127
- I'm happy to help you
figure this out,
464
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:08,296
but this is actually
not a great time for me.
465
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:09,756
So if you don't mind--
466
00:18:09,798 --> 00:18:11,549
- Look, we can talk about this
here or the precinct.
467
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:12,592
It's up to you.
468
00:18:12,634 --> 00:18:13,927
What's going on?
469
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:15,136
I'm good.
470
00:18:15,178 --> 00:18:16,638
Don't--don't worry
about it, sweetie.
471
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,556
- Ma'am, you need
to step back, all right?
472
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:19,933
We're gonna talk
to your husband for a minute.
473
00:18:19,974 --> 00:18:21,267
Step back?
474
00:18:21,309 --> 00:18:22,769
This is my house.
475
00:18:22,811 --> 00:18:24,604
Mandy, it's fine.
476
00:18:24,646 --> 00:18:27,732
Just give us five minutes,
okay?
477
00:18:29,484 --> 00:18:31,069
I'll be upstairs.
478
00:18:33,738 --> 00:18:36,449
- Mr. Palmer,
where were you the night
479
00:18:36,491 --> 00:18:38,451
that Jordan was murdered?
480
00:18:38,493 --> 00:18:39,828
Are you serious right now?
481
00:18:39,869 --> 00:18:42,247
- Please just
answer the question.
482
00:18:42,288 --> 00:18:43,623
This is preposterous.
483
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:45,333
- You have a black BMW
registered
484
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,502
to your business, correct?
485
00:18:47,544 --> 00:18:49,295
- Thanks for coming by.
I'm done talking.
486
00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:50,505
I want a lawyer.
487
00:18:50,547 --> 00:18:51,965
- Well, if you're
officially done talking,
488
00:18:52,007 --> 00:18:53,591
there's only one thing
left for us to do.
489
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:54,884
And what's that?
490
00:18:54,926 --> 00:18:56,803
- Arrest you for the murder
of Jordan Bryant.
491
00:18:56,845 --> 00:18:58,346
- Hands behind your back,
please.
492
00:18:58,388 --> 00:18:59,806
You're making a mistake.
493
00:18:59,848 --> 00:19:01,433
- You have the right
to remain silent.
494
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:04,060
Anything you say can
and will be held against you.
495
00:19:09,274 --> 00:19:09,691
.
496
00:19:09,733 --> 00:19:11,109
- Calling docket ending in
9009, People v. Keith Palmer,
497
00:19:13,695 --> 00:19:17,449
charging murder
in the second degree.
498
00:19:17,490 --> 00:19:18,783
Where's the defendant?
499
00:19:18,825 --> 00:19:19,993
My client is in custody.
500
00:19:20,035 --> 00:19:21,786
He waived his presence
and asked
501
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,497
that a plea of "not guilty"
be entered on his behalf.
502
00:19:24,539 --> 00:19:26,082
The People object.
503
00:19:26,124 --> 00:19:28,877
We ask that he be brought into
the courtroom for arraignment.
504
00:19:28,918 --> 00:19:31,588
- Why should I allow
his absence, Mr. Delahunt?
505
00:19:31,629 --> 00:19:33,006
- This case relies
on a questionable
506
00:19:33,048 --> 00:19:34,632
eyewitness identification.
507
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:36,092
I plan to file
a motion to suppress.
508
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:37,886
My client's face
in this courtroom
509
00:19:37,927 --> 00:19:39,929
would defeat the purpose.
510
00:19:39,971 --> 00:19:41,639
Are you seeking bail?
511
00:19:41,681 --> 00:19:42,974
The People seek remand.
512
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:44,726
The defendant is alleged
to have murdered
513
00:19:44,768 --> 00:19:47,020
his own client, Jordan Bryant.
514
00:19:47,062 --> 00:19:49,731
Mr. Bryant had accused
the defendant of stealing
515
00:19:49,773 --> 00:19:51,399
his settlement money.
516
00:19:51,441 --> 00:19:53,568
He filed a complaint
with the State Bar Association,
517
00:19:53,610 --> 00:19:55,070
and he was also
considering filing
518
00:19:55,111 --> 00:19:57,447
civil and criminal complaints.
519
00:19:57,489 --> 00:20:00,325
On the night of the murder,
the defendant went
520
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:02,327
to Mr. Bryant's restaurant
to confront him.
521
00:20:02,369 --> 00:20:03,912
They got into an argument.
522
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:06,247
The defendant grabbed
a knife and plunged it
523
00:20:06,289 --> 00:20:07,582
into Mr. Bryant's chest.
524
00:20:07,624 --> 00:20:09,584
- What is the defense
asking for?
525
00:20:09,626 --> 00:20:11,378
A reasonable cash bail.
526
00:20:11,419 --> 00:20:13,630
My client is not a flight risk,
and he has every reason
527
00:20:13,672 --> 00:20:15,215
to fight this case in court.
528
00:20:15,256 --> 00:20:17,759
He is an esteemed member
of the New York State Bar
529
00:20:17,801 --> 00:20:19,886
and a valued member
of the community.
530
00:20:19,928 --> 00:20:24,474
His wife Amanda is prepared
to post $1 million.
531
00:20:24,516 --> 00:20:26,017
Let's set a short trial date.
532
00:20:26,059 --> 00:20:28,061
I don't wanna see him sitting
in Rikers unnecessarily.
533
00:20:28,103 --> 00:20:30,563
Until then,
the defendant is remanded.
534
00:20:30,605 --> 00:20:31,981
[gavel bangs]
535
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:41,324
{\an8}- Eyewitness identifications
are the leading cause
536
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:42,742
{\an8}of wrongful convictions.
537
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:44,911
In fact, 70% of all
DNA exonerations
538
00:20:44,953 --> 00:20:47,455
involve eyewitness testimonies.
539
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:48,832
And the numbers are even worse
540
00:20:48,873 --> 00:20:51,292
when you factor in
cross-racial identification.
541
00:20:51,334 --> 00:20:53,294
- What were
the circumstances surrounding
542
00:20:53,336 --> 00:20:55,296
the identification
in this case?
543
00:20:55,338 --> 00:20:57,549
- It was late at night,
the lighting was dim,
544
00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:59,092
and the killer
was wearing a hat,
545
00:20:59,134 --> 00:21:01,344
running away from the witness.
546
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:02,512
Mr. Price?
547
00:21:02,554 --> 00:21:04,806
- The defendant
was known to the witness.
548
00:21:04,848 --> 00:21:05,932
He'd seen him
around the victim's
549
00:21:05,974 --> 00:21:07,308
restaurant several times.
550
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:09,936
Research has proven
that familiarity
551
00:21:09,978 --> 00:21:13,231
increases the likelihood
of an accurate identification.
552
00:21:13,273 --> 00:21:15,442
- On the night of the murder,
Mr. Wu made no indication
553
00:21:15,483 --> 00:21:18,445
that he knew or even recognized
my client as the person
554
00:21:18,486 --> 00:21:19,946
that killed Mr. Bryant.
555
00:21:19,988 --> 00:21:22,157
- That's true,
but there's a difference
556
00:21:22,198 --> 00:21:24,325
between describing
and recognizing.
557
00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:25,535
Your point?
558
00:21:25,577 --> 00:21:27,996
- This whole argument
goes to the weight,
559
00:21:28,038 --> 00:21:29,414
not the admissibility,
of the evidence.
560
00:21:29,456 --> 00:21:31,374
The jury can hear
the witness's testimony
561
00:21:31,416 --> 00:21:32,792
and decide for themselves
562
00:21:32,834 --> 00:21:34,794
if his identification
was credible.
563
00:21:37,881 --> 00:21:39,341
I agree with Mr. Price.
564
00:21:39,382 --> 00:21:42,927
The defendant's motion
to suppress is denied.
565
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:47,349
I knew Keith Palmer.
566
00:21:47,390 --> 00:21:49,309
When I was U.S. attorney,
he was a federal defender.
567
00:21:49,351 --> 00:21:50,685
He's a good lawyer.
568
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:52,062
I heard he was about
to be appointed to the bench.
569
00:21:52,103 --> 00:21:53,688
It's hard to imagine he could--
570
00:21:53,730 --> 00:21:55,315
- I know,
but the facts are the facts.
571
00:21:55,357 --> 00:21:57,776
- You're confident
in the evidence?
572
00:21:57,817 --> 00:22:00,028
- It's not perfect,
but I think we have
573
00:22:00,070 --> 00:22:01,738
enough to get a conviction.
574
00:22:01,780 --> 00:22:03,615
- I mean, we have
Chris Wu's identification,
575
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,367
plus the corroborating
evidence.
576
00:22:05,408 --> 00:22:07,202
The witness
said he saw the killer
577
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,037
wearing a shiny green jacket
578
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:10,580
with the letter M
on the sleeve.
579
00:22:10,622 --> 00:22:14,292
- We never actually found that
jacket or the murder weapon,
580
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:16,878
but we do have
credit card receipts showing
581
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,047
that Mr. Palmer purchased
a jacket matching
582
00:22:19,089 --> 00:22:20,799
that description
five months ago.
583
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,384
What else?
584
00:22:22,425 --> 00:22:24,761
- The witness also saw the
killer jump into a black BMW.
585
00:22:24,803 --> 00:22:28,139
- Keith Palmer has two BMWs
registered to his business.
586
00:22:28,181 --> 00:22:29,849
One of them is black,
and we can
587
00:22:29,891 --> 00:22:31,017
place the car near
the crime scene
588
00:22:31,059 --> 00:22:32,352
at the time of the murder.
589
00:22:32,394 --> 00:22:34,979
- So what's the motive
for stabbing the guy
590
00:22:35,021 --> 00:22:36,564
he just helped get out of jail?
591
00:22:36,606 --> 00:22:39,359
- Palmer was worried
about his reputation,
592
00:22:39,401 --> 00:22:41,486
about his plans
for a judgeship.
593
00:22:41,528 --> 00:22:44,531
Bryant claimed that Palmer
stole his settlement money.
594
00:22:44,572 --> 00:22:45,782
Did he?
595
00:22:45,824 --> 00:22:47,701
- Technically, no,
he didn't steal it,
596
00:22:47,742 --> 00:22:51,246
but he took over half the total
award in contingency fees,
597
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:53,206
and then he charged
exorbitant amounts
598
00:22:53,248 --> 00:22:55,709
for paralegals,
private investigators,
599
00:22:55,750 --> 00:22:57,210
expert witnesses.
600
00:22:57,252 --> 00:22:59,212
Bryant felt like he'd
been taken advantage of,
601
00:22:59,254 --> 00:23:01,923
and he wanted
the world to know about it.
602
00:23:03,633 --> 00:23:05,593
Okay.
603
00:23:05,635 --> 00:23:07,012
Let's bury the bastard.
604
00:23:10,056 --> 00:23:13,685
[reporters clamoring]
605
00:23:13,727 --> 00:23:16,563
- Mr. Baxter, did Keith Palmer
actually kill the man
606
00:23:16,604 --> 00:23:17,856
he helped exonerate?
607
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:20,942
- Your office convicted
an innocent man.
608
00:23:20,984 --> 00:23:24,529
- Listen, sending
an innocent man to prison
609
00:23:24,571 --> 00:23:27,032
is anathema to the
criminal justice system
610
00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:28,283
and to the human spirit.
611
00:23:28,324 --> 00:23:31,161
Unfortunately,
no matter how hard we try,
612
00:23:31,202 --> 00:23:33,163
mistakes like this occur
from time to time,
613
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:36,458
and good people are convicted
of crimes they did not commit.
614
00:23:36,499 --> 00:23:40,295
That's why our post-conviction
review unit is so vital.
615
00:23:40,337 --> 00:23:41,921
In fact, I've just
authorized the hiring
616
00:23:41,963 --> 00:23:43,340
of ten additional lawyers.
617
00:23:43,381 --> 00:23:45,133
I wanna do everything
that I can to make sure
618
00:23:45,175 --> 00:23:47,218
that wrongfully convicted
men and women
619
00:23:47,260 --> 00:23:49,054
are released
as soon as possible.
620
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:51,806
Now, as for Keith Palmer,
on the one hand,
621
00:23:51,848 --> 00:23:53,058
he's done some good things.
622
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,726
He helped exonerate
several innocent men.
623
00:23:54,768 --> 00:23:57,687
On the other hand,
he is a cold-blooded predator
624
00:23:57,729 --> 00:24:00,815
who exploits the very people
he sets out to free.
625
00:24:00,857 --> 00:24:03,151
And in the case
of Jordan Bryant,
626
00:24:03,193 --> 00:24:06,529
he not only took
the lion's share of his money,
627
00:24:06,571 --> 00:24:08,323
he murdered him.
628
00:24:08,365 --> 00:24:09,866
That's all for now. Thank you.
629
00:24:09,908 --> 00:24:12,535
- DA Baxter, what evidence do
you have that Keith Palmer--
630
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:20,001
{\an8}- I was ten years old when they
took my father away from me.
631
00:24:20,043 --> 00:24:23,505
Had to grow up without
really knowing him.
632
00:24:23,546 --> 00:24:28,009
We all knew he was innocent,
but the police,
633
00:24:28,051 --> 00:24:31,888
the prosecutors,
they wronged him.
634
00:24:31,930 --> 00:24:34,057
They wronged our whole family.
635
00:24:35,308 --> 00:24:37,227
- Tell the members
of the jury what happened.
636
00:24:39,187 --> 00:24:43,024
- My dad was arrested
for raping and killing a girl.
637
00:24:43,066 --> 00:24:45,235
He told us he didn't do it,
638
00:24:45,276 --> 00:24:47,362
that he'd never
seen that girl before.
639
00:24:47,404 --> 00:24:49,739
But the DA's office
prosecuted him
640
00:24:49,781 --> 00:24:51,282
and sent him to prison for life
641
00:24:51,324 --> 00:24:53,159
because that girl's father
said he saw my father
642
00:24:53,201 --> 00:24:55,036
near the crime scene.
643
00:24:55,078 --> 00:24:59,499
No one thought, wait a minute.
644
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:02,002
Maybe he's wrong.
645
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:04,879
Maybe it was someone else.
646
00:25:04,921 --> 00:25:07,716
They just believed him.
647
00:25:07,757 --> 00:25:10,301
- DNA ultimately
exonerated your father?
648
00:25:10,343 --> 00:25:11,553
Yes.
649
00:25:11,594 --> 00:25:14,055
- After he was released,
did he seek compensation
650
00:25:14,097 --> 00:25:16,558
- for this tragic mistake?
- Yes.
651
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,978
His lawyer, the one who
helped him get out of prison,
652
00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:21,521
filed a lawsuit
against the city.
653
00:25:21,563 --> 00:25:22,605
- You're referring
to the defendant.
654
00:25:22,647 --> 00:25:24,149
Yes.
655
00:25:24,190 --> 00:25:25,734
- Did the defendant negotiate
a settlement with the city?
656
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:27,485
For $10 million.
657
00:25:27,527 --> 00:25:30,238
I found out my father only
ended up with about 1 million.
658
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,073
Palmer stole the rest.
659
00:25:32,115 --> 00:25:34,409
Objection. Hearsay.
660
00:25:34,451 --> 00:25:35,577
Sustained.
661
00:25:35,618 --> 00:25:38,455
The jury shall disregard
that last comment.
662
00:25:38,496 --> 00:25:40,081
Nothing further.
663
00:25:40,123 --> 00:25:42,500
Thank you, Ms. Walker.
664
00:25:42,542 --> 00:25:44,377
- While your father
was in prison,
665
00:25:44,419 --> 00:25:47,047
he built quite
a reputation for himself.
666
00:25:47,088 --> 00:25:50,091
He was involved
in several altercations.
667
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:52,218
- Objection.
Facts not in evidence.
668
00:25:52,260 --> 00:25:53,803
Ask a question, sir.
669
00:25:53,845 --> 00:25:55,096
- Are you aware
that your father
670
00:25:55,138 --> 00:25:57,974
committed a total
of 11 infractions
671
00:25:58,016 --> 00:25:59,184
while he was in prison?
672
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:00,477
Objection. Relevance?
673
00:26:00,518 --> 00:26:02,103
- What are you trying to do?
- Your Honor--
674
00:26:02,145 --> 00:26:03,313
Who cares what he did?
675
00:26:03,355 --> 00:26:04,856
He was just trying to survive.
676
00:26:04,898 --> 00:26:06,983
- May the witness be
instructed to please answer--
677
00:26:07,025 --> 00:26:08,109
- Your Honor--
678
00:26:08,151 --> 00:26:10,362
- My father
has been through enough.
679
00:26:10,403 --> 00:26:12,614
How dare you drag him
through the mud?
680
00:26:12,655 --> 00:26:15,033
Enough, Ms. Walker.
681
00:26:15,075 --> 00:26:17,786
I want to see counsel
in chambers, now.
682
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:20,455
[tense music]
683
00:26:20,497 --> 00:26:23,375
- This line of questioning
is completely out of bounds.
684
00:26:23,416 --> 00:26:26,503
The defense has no legitimate
reason to vilify the victim.
685
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:29,214
- I'm just inquiring about the
12 years he spent in prison.
686
00:26:29,255 --> 00:26:31,299
- How is that even
remotely relevant?
687
00:26:31,341 --> 00:26:33,510
He shouldn't have been in that
prison in the first place.
688
00:26:33,551 --> 00:26:34,761
Don't blame us.
689
00:26:34,803 --> 00:26:36,179
You guys are the ones
that put him in there.
690
00:26:36,221 --> 00:26:38,640
- Why is any of this
admissible, Mr. Delahunt?
691
00:26:38,682 --> 00:26:40,392
- Jordan Bryant made
a lot of enemies
692
00:26:40,433 --> 00:26:42,185
while incarcerated, Your Honor.
693
00:26:42,227 --> 00:26:45,188
Some of them are now free
or have gang affiliations.
694
00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:46,940
You have fights
with other inmates,
695
00:26:46,981 --> 00:26:51,361
threatening guards,
possession of illicit drugs.
696
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:56,199
I'm going to allow it.
697
00:26:56,241 --> 00:26:59,119
- Your Honor, how many times
do we need to destroy this man?
698
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,663
- Stand down, Mr. Price.
I've made my ruling.
699
00:27:01,705 --> 00:27:06,376
* *
700
00:27:11,673 --> 00:27:11,881
.
701
00:27:11,923 --> 00:27:12,549
My name is Adam Paxton.
702
00:27:13,633 --> 00:27:15,301
I'm the warden
at Elmira State Prison.
703
00:27:15,343 --> 00:27:18,388
- Did Jordan Bryant,
the victim in this case,
704
00:27:18,430 --> 00:27:20,306
serve time
under your supervision?
705
00:27:20,348 --> 00:27:23,059
- Yes, he served
12 years and 3 months.
706
00:27:23,101 --> 00:27:24,728
He went in when he was 28.
707
00:27:24,769 --> 00:27:27,480
He was released 2 years ago
when he was 40 years old?
708
00:27:27,522 --> 00:27:29,315
Yes.
709
00:27:29,357 --> 00:27:30,692
- Could you describe Mr.
Bryant's time in your prison?
710
00:27:30,734 --> 00:27:33,528
- I'd say he made
the best of it.
711
00:27:33,570 --> 00:27:35,321
Can you be more specific?
712
00:27:35,363 --> 00:27:37,699
- He took cooking classes,
he worked in the kitchen,
713
00:27:37,741 --> 00:27:39,909
and he earned his associate's
degree in business.
714
00:27:39,951 --> 00:27:43,455
- That sounds like he remained
optimistic about his future.
715
00:27:43,496 --> 00:27:45,707
- Yes, he did as well
as he could for someone
716
00:27:45,749 --> 00:27:46,833
in his predicament.
717
00:27:46,875 --> 00:27:50,754
Jordan remained
upbeat and productive.
718
00:27:50,795 --> 00:27:52,464
Thank you.
719
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:55,717
- Jordan Bryant almost killed
another inmate, didn't he?
720
00:27:55,759 --> 00:27:59,304
Stabbed him with a razor blade
attached to a toothbrush.
721
00:27:59,346 --> 00:28:01,556
- He was attacked
by a known gang member.
722
00:28:01,598 --> 00:28:03,683
- And this gang member
was serving time
723
00:28:03,725 --> 00:28:06,394
- for a triple homicide.
- Yes.
724
00:28:06,436 --> 00:28:09,064
- And this gang member has
hundreds of known associates
725
00:28:09,105 --> 00:28:10,648
outside the prison gates?
726
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:12,108
That's my understanding, yes.
727
00:28:12,150 --> 00:28:14,152
- So it's entirely possible--
in fact, it's likely that
728
00:28:14,194 --> 00:28:18,114
Mr. Jordan Bryant's death was a
retaliation for that incident.
729
00:28:18,156 --> 00:28:19,741
Objection.
730
00:28:19,783 --> 00:28:21,993
There is no evidence
to support that claim.
731
00:28:22,035 --> 00:28:23,328
Sustained.
732
00:28:25,455 --> 00:28:27,832
Nothing further.
733
00:28:27,874 --> 00:28:29,668
Redirect, Mr. Price.
734
00:28:31,336 --> 00:28:34,714
- Jordan Bryant didn't initiate
any violence while in prison.
735
00:28:34,756 --> 00:28:36,216
He was simply
protecting himself?
736
00:28:36,257 --> 00:28:37,842
Correct.
737
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,887
- The gang member Jordan fought
with is still incarcerated.
738
00:28:40,929 --> 00:28:42,347
Yes, he is.
739
00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:44,808
- And there's no evidence
that he ever reached out
740
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:47,352
to another gang member
in order to exact revenge
741
00:28:47,394 --> 00:28:48,478
on Jordan Bryant?
742
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,939
There is no evidence of that.
743
00:28:50,980 --> 00:28:52,899
Thank you. Nothing further.
744
00:28:52,941 --> 00:28:54,150
Thank you.
745
00:28:54,192 --> 00:28:57,153
You are dismissed.
746
00:28:57,195 --> 00:28:59,322
The People call Chris Wu.
747
00:29:02,867 --> 00:29:06,329
- A few days after the murder,
detectives came to my work
748
00:29:06,371 --> 00:29:09,582
and asked me
to look at some photos.
749
00:29:09,624 --> 00:29:11,292
- These are the pictures
they showed you?
750
00:29:11,334 --> 00:29:12,877
Yes.
751
00:29:12,919 --> 00:29:16,840
- Did you tell the detectives
that you recognized someone?
752
00:29:16,881 --> 00:29:19,634
Yes, Keith Palmer.
753
00:29:19,676 --> 00:29:21,845
I told them
he was the guy I saw
754
00:29:21,886 --> 00:29:24,139
running out of the restaurant
the night Jordan was killed.
755
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:27,183
- Showing you a photograph
from a store catalog.
756
00:29:27,225 --> 00:29:28,768
Is this the jacket
he was wearing?
757
00:29:30,729 --> 00:29:32,063
Yes.
758
00:29:32,105 --> 00:29:34,482
- Your Honor, I would
offer a credit card receipt
759
00:29:34,524 --> 00:29:36,401
showing that the
defendant purchased
760
00:29:36,443 --> 00:29:38,361
this jacket
from Bergdorf Goodman
761
00:29:38,403 --> 00:29:40,405
approximately five months ago.
762
00:29:45,952 --> 00:29:47,120
I'll allow it.
763
00:29:47,162 --> 00:29:49,372
- Finally,
did you see the defendant
764
00:29:49,414 --> 00:29:52,459
flee the scene in this car?
765
00:29:53,752 --> 00:29:56,171
I did.
766
00:29:56,212 --> 00:29:57,714
Thank you.
767
00:29:57,756 --> 00:29:59,632
- You waited on my client
and his wife
768
00:29:59,674 --> 00:30:02,135
several times before, correct?
769
00:30:02,177 --> 00:30:04,054
Yes, two or three times.
770
00:30:04,095 --> 00:30:05,805
- And yet, when you first spoke
with the police,
771
00:30:05,847 --> 00:30:07,891
you didn't identify him
by name.
772
00:30:07,932 --> 00:30:12,187
You just described his physical
appearance in a general way.
773
00:30:12,228 --> 00:30:13,396
That's correct.
774
00:30:13,438 --> 00:30:15,774
How come?
775
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:17,567
- Well, I--
776
00:30:17,609 --> 00:30:19,903
I didn't immediately
put it all together.
777
00:30:19,944 --> 00:30:22,489
And I didn't know his name.
I just knew him by face.
778
00:30:22,530 --> 00:30:24,282
- You knew him by face,
yet you didn't
779
00:30:24,324 --> 00:30:28,078
tell the police that you knew
the man fleeing the scene?
780
00:30:28,119 --> 00:30:31,081
[tense music]
781
00:30:31,122 --> 00:30:33,750
* *
782
00:30:33,792 --> 00:30:37,003
- Like I said, I didn't
realize it was him at the time,
783
00:30:37,045 --> 00:30:38,880
and my friend
had just been murdered.
784
00:30:38,922 --> 00:30:41,800
- Did you consume
any alcohol that night?
785
00:30:41,841 --> 00:30:43,301
No.
786
00:30:43,343 --> 00:30:45,845
- Okay.
Did you smoke any marijuana?
787
00:30:48,473 --> 00:30:50,433
Do I have to answer that?
788
00:30:50,475 --> 00:30:53,478
- [scoffs]
Well, I think you just did.
789
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,313
Answer the question.
790
00:30:57,899 --> 00:31:03,071
- I smoked a little, about an
hour before all this happened.
791
00:31:03,113 --> 00:31:04,948
But I still saw what I saw.
792
00:31:04,989 --> 00:31:08,702
- And what you saw was a man
in a shiny green jacket
793
00:31:08,743 --> 00:31:11,621
and a New York Islanders hat.
794
00:31:11,663 --> 00:31:14,040
Nothing you said
was specific to Keith Palmer.
795
00:31:14,082 --> 00:31:16,418
You didn't mention his hair
or his eye color
796
00:31:16,459 --> 00:31:18,044
or his approximate age.
797
00:31:18,086 --> 00:31:21,464
You just saw a white man
in a shiny green jacket
798
00:31:21,506 --> 00:31:24,509
and a New York Islanders hat.
799
00:31:24,551 --> 00:31:26,011
Yeah, I guess.
800
00:31:27,512 --> 00:31:29,305
Thank you.
801
00:31:29,347 --> 00:31:30,640
Nothing further.
802
00:31:34,477 --> 00:31:39,774
- Mr. Wu,
do you see in this courtroom
803
00:31:39,816 --> 00:31:43,194
the man who was running
from Jordan Bryant's dead body
804
00:31:43,236 --> 00:31:44,612
on the night of the murder?
805
00:31:48,575 --> 00:31:52,495
Yeah, right there.
806
00:31:52,537 --> 00:31:55,248
Indicating the defendant.
807
00:31:55,290 --> 00:31:57,542
The People rest.
808
00:31:57,584 --> 00:32:03,715
* *
809
00:32:03,757 --> 00:32:06,843
I liked Jordan Bryant, a lot.
810
00:32:06,885 --> 00:32:10,513
I believed in him, and I
tried my best to help him.
811
00:32:10,555 --> 00:32:12,849
And what did you do to help?
812
00:32:12,891 --> 00:32:15,769
- Well, for starters,
I got him out of prison.
813
00:32:15,810 --> 00:32:17,771
Then I got him a lot of money.
814
00:32:17,812 --> 00:32:20,899
When he told me he wanted
to open a restaurant,
815
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:21,983
I gave him advice.
816
00:32:22,025 --> 00:32:25,653
I helped him secure permits,
licenses.
817
00:32:25,695 --> 00:32:28,531
- Did you ever go to this
restaurant, Mr. Palmer?
818
00:32:28,573 --> 00:32:30,784
I was there all the time.
819
00:32:30,825 --> 00:32:33,036
My wife loved the food.
820
00:32:33,078 --> 00:32:35,622
Jordan used to joke
he was gonna name something
821
00:32:35,663 --> 00:32:39,709
on the menu after us,
the Heart of Palmer salad.
822
00:32:41,711 --> 00:32:46,758
- Mr. Palmer,
did you kill Jordan Bryant?
823
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,510
- Of course not.
- Okay.
824
00:32:48,551 --> 00:32:51,721
Where were you
the night he was murdered?
825
00:32:51,763 --> 00:32:53,682
I had dinner with a client.
826
00:32:53,723 --> 00:32:55,350
Let me be more specific.
827
00:32:55,392 --> 00:33:00,897
Where were you when the
911 call came in at 11:44 p.m.?
828
00:33:00,939 --> 00:33:03,149
- I was driving
to our country house.
829
00:33:03,191 --> 00:33:04,567
And can you prove that?
830
00:33:04,609 --> 00:33:06,569
As a matter of fact, I can.
831
00:33:08,571 --> 00:33:10,532
- Is that you?
- Yes.
832
00:33:10,573 --> 00:33:12,701
That was taken
by a traffic camera.
833
00:33:12,742 --> 00:33:15,537
Apparently I had run
a red light on the corner
834
00:33:15,578 --> 00:33:18,748
of 42nd and 8th at 11:47 p.m.
835
00:33:18,790 --> 00:33:21,876
- And is that the ticket?
- Yes.
836
00:33:21,918 --> 00:33:25,046
It shows I was six blocks away
from the murder scene
837
00:33:25,088 --> 00:33:27,465
at the time
the 911 call came in.
838
00:33:27,507 --> 00:33:29,134
- Your Honor,
we had no notice of this.
839
00:33:29,175 --> 00:33:30,635
This just happened.
840
00:33:30,677 --> 00:33:34,055
Mr. Palmer had no idea he'd
been photographed or cited.
841
00:33:34,097 --> 00:33:38,059
Ticket came into his office
by mail just yesterday.
842
00:33:38,101 --> 00:33:40,979
Please, have a look
at the postage stamp.
843
00:33:41,021 --> 00:33:45,025
* *
844
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:47,777
I'll allow it.
845
00:33:47,819 --> 00:33:50,530
- So, Mr. Palmer,
there's no way you could have
846
00:33:50,572 --> 00:33:52,532
committed this murder?
847
00:33:52,574 --> 00:33:54,284
Absolutely.
848
00:33:54,325 --> 00:33:59,289
Like I said, I was
six blocks away, in my car.
849
00:33:59,330 --> 00:34:01,624
Thank you.
850
00:34:01,666 --> 00:34:03,793
Nothing further.
851
00:34:03,835 --> 00:34:06,129
- Okay, let's break
for the day.
852
00:34:06,171 --> 00:34:08,631
Members of the jury,
we will reconvene
853
00:34:08,673 --> 00:34:10,717
tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m.
854
00:34:10,759 --> 00:34:12,177
[gavel bangs]
855
00:34:21,978 --> 00:34:22,187
.
856
00:34:22,228 --> 00:34:22,479
Hey.
857
00:34:23,897 --> 00:34:25,190
I checked with the
Department of Transportation.
858
00:34:25,231 --> 00:34:28,151
- [sighs] Their records
confirm Palmer's story?
859
00:34:28,193 --> 00:34:32,280
- Palmer ran the red light
on 42nd and 8th at 11:47 p.m.
860
00:34:32,322 --> 00:34:34,449
- We know the 911 call
from the restaurant
861
00:34:34,491 --> 00:34:35,867
came in three minutes earlier.
862
00:34:35,909 --> 00:34:37,327
Did Riley and Shaw
do a test drive,
863
00:34:37,369 --> 00:34:38,953
see if it's possible
to get from point A
864
00:34:38,995 --> 00:34:40,789
to point B in three minutes?
865
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:42,957
- Mm-hmm.
And they drove it four times.
866
00:34:42,999 --> 00:34:46,002
Took anywhere between
2 minutes 45 seconds
867
00:34:46,044 --> 00:34:48,004
and 9 minutes,
depending on traffic.
868
00:34:48,046 --> 00:34:49,881
They drive at 11:47 p.m.?
869
00:34:49,923 --> 00:34:52,842
- Mm-hmm.
Took 3 minutes and 35 seconds.
870
00:34:52,884 --> 00:34:55,804
- [sighs]
So it's possible.
871
00:34:58,098 --> 00:34:59,391
Sort of.
872
00:35:06,398 --> 00:35:07,857
{\an8}You were standing here?
873
00:35:07,899 --> 00:35:09,609
Yeah, more or less.
874
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:11,486
What about the lighting?
875
00:35:11,528 --> 00:35:12,946
It was darker, probably.
876
00:35:12,987 --> 00:35:14,072
It was late at night.
877
00:35:14,114 --> 00:35:16,116
- All right,
where was the killer
878
00:35:16,157 --> 00:35:18,159
when you first laid eyes
on him?
879
00:35:18,201 --> 00:35:22,080
- Over there,
about 10 feet from the door.
880
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:26,042
And you were high?
881
00:35:26,084 --> 00:35:27,877
No, I wasn't like high, high.
882
00:35:27,919 --> 00:35:30,422
Maybe just a little buzzed.
883
00:35:30,463 --> 00:35:31,464
You know?
884
00:35:31,506 --> 00:35:34,467
[tense music]
885
00:35:34,509 --> 00:35:37,012
* *
886
00:35:37,053 --> 00:35:39,681
- Oh, God, I need to know
how certain you really are
887
00:35:39,723 --> 00:35:41,391
about this ID.
888
00:35:43,018 --> 00:35:45,228
- What do you mean,
like on a scale of 1 to 10?
889
00:35:47,522 --> 00:35:49,899
- Yeah, sure--
on a scale of 1 to 10,
890
00:35:49,941 --> 00:35:52,277
10 being the most certain.
891
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:57,323
* *
892
00:35:57,365 --> 00:35:59,284
- [whispering]
10 being the most certain...
893
00:36:05,915 --> 00:36:08,626
- [sighs]
I am worried about our case.
894
00:36:08,668 --> 00:36:10,587
In what regard?
895
00:36:10,628 --> 00:36:12,922
- I'm not sure
we're trying the right person.
896
00:36:12,964 --> 00:36:14,632
Excuse me?
897
00:36:14,674 --> 00:36:18,261
- I'm beginning to think that
Keith Palmer might be innocent.
898
00:36:18,303 --> 00:36:20,513
Innocent?
899
00:36:20,555 --> 00:36:21,806
What are you talking about?
900
00:36:21,848 --> 00:36:23,933
- [sighs]
It's been gnawing at me
901
00:36:23,975 --> 00:36:27,395
for the past few days, and I--
902
00:36:27,437 --> 00:36:29,856
I can't point to one thing
in particular.
903
00:36:32,317 --> 00:36:33,777
It just doesn't seem to add up.
904
00:36:33,818 --> 00:36:35,862
- You mean the evidence?
- Yes.
905
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:37,155
There's nothing glaring.
906
00:36:37,197 --> 00:36:39,199
There's no smoking gun,
so to speak.
907
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:44,245
But it's more like,
everything we have is gray.
908
00:36:44,287 --> 00:36:48,458
It could go either way,
and you start wondering if--
909
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:50,835
I get it.
910
00:36:50,877 --> 00:36:53,755
- You do?
- Mm-hmm.
911
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:56,007
Having said that,
912
00:36:56,049 --> 00:36:58,176
I've been following this case
pretty closely.
913
00:37:00,178 --> 00:37:04,140
I don't necessarily
agree with your analysis.
914
00:37:04,182 --> 00:37:07,435
I understand
it's a complicated case--
915
00:37:07,477 --> 00:37:09,145
for all of us.
916
00:37:09,187 --> 00:37:12,607
I mean, we wouldn't be here
if it weren't for the fact
917
00:37:12,649 --> 00:37:14,317
that we screwed up.
918
00:37:14,359 --> 00:37:17,195
We're the ones that set this
horrible tragedy in motion.
919
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:25,578
Maybe that's affecting
your mindset,
920
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:27,997
the possibility
of history repeating itself?
921
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:29,082
- I'm sure it is, but it--
922
00:37:29,124 --> 00:37:31,710
We're not gods, Nolan.
923
00:37:31,751 --> 00:37:35,255
We don't have some sort of
magic window into the truth,
924
00:37:35,296 --> 00:37:37,632
into what actually transpired.
925
00:37:39,676 --> 00:37:41,386
It is an imperfect process.
926
00:37:41,428 --> 00:37:43,847
It really is.
927
00:37:43,888 --> 00:37:46,141
But it's also
the best one there is,
928
00:37:46,182 --> 00:37:48,435
and we have to trust it.
929
00:37:48,476 --> 00:37:55,400
* *
930
00:37:58,403 --> 00:38:02,907
Look, you are a lot closer
to this than I am.
931
00:38:02,949 --> 00:38:07,412
So all I can say to you
is do what you think is right.
932
00:38:18,965 --> 00:38:21,092
{\an8}[door buzzer blares]
933
00:38:23,178 --> 00:38:25,430
Why are we here, Nolan?
934
00:38:25,472 --> 00:38:28,016
- I wanted
to tell you in person.
935
00:38:28,058 --> 00:38:30,101
I'm going to be filing
a motion to dismiss
936
00:38:30,143 --> 00:38:31,978
as soon as I get back
to the office.
937
00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:34,105
You're dismissing the case?
938
00:38:34,147 --> 00:38:36,691
- Correct.
- So you finally believe me?
939
00:38:36,733 --> 00:38:38,401
You realize I'm innocent?
940
00:38:38,443 --> 00:38:42,405
- We no longer think
you killed Jordan Bryant.
941
00:38:44,032 --> 00:38:48,453
- Well, does that mean
you know who did?
942
00:38:53,291 --> 00:38:55,460
- It means
we're dismissing the case.
943
00:38:55,502 --> 00:38:59,714
* *
944
00:38:59,756 --> 00:39:01,633
[door buzzer blares]
945
00:39:16,564 --> 00:39:18,692
Detective Shaw?
946
00:39:18,733 --> 00:39:21,236
I just notified Palmer that
we're dismissing his case,
947
00:39:21,277 --> 00:39:24,239
but something occurred to me.
948
00:39:29,202 --> 00:39:31,413
- [chuckles]
Good ol' Nolan Price.
949
00:39:31,454 --> 00:39:33,039
His plan worked like a charm.
950
00:39:33,081 --> 00:39:34,541
- Got the confession
right here on tape.
951
00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:37,794
Grab your gun, partner.
952
00:39:37,836 --> 00:39:39,212
Where are we going?
953
00:39:39,254 --> 00:39:41,131
- To arrest
Jordan Bryant's real killer.
954
00:39:44,676 --> 00:39:47,095
- Earlier today,
this office dismissed
955
00:39:47,137 --> 00:39:49,764
the murder charge
against Keith Palmer.
956
00:39:49,806 --> 00:39:52,684
I think it's important to
point out that prosecutors play
957
00:39:52,726 --> 00:39:54,978
a critical role
in protecting the innocent
958
00:39:55,020 --> 00:39:57,063
from wrongful conviction.
959
00:39:57,105 --> 00:40:00,025
We are, I suppose,
their final defense.
960
00:40:00,066 --> 00:40:02,110
If all else fails,
we are the ones
961
00:40:02,152 --> 00:40:06,698
who must stand tall and admit
that a mistake has been made.
962
00:40:06,740 --> 00:40:10,660
I commend prosecutors Price
and Maroun for their integrity
963
00:40:10,702 --> 00:40:13,538
and for their dedication
to seeking the truth
964
00:40:13,580 --> 00:40:16,166
irrespective
of the consequences.
965
00:40:17,917 --> 00:40:20,045
It is now evidentthat this was a case
966
00:40:20,086 --> 00:40:22,589
of mistaken identity.
967
00:40:22,630 --> 00:40:25,175
To put it simply,our eyewitness
968
00:40:25,216 --> 00:40:27,469
identified the wrong person.
969
00:40:28,928 --> 00:40:31,931
The good news is,
we found additional evidence,
970
00:40:31,973 --> 00:40:35,352
and we now believe that the
killer is Mr. Palmer's wife.
971
00:40:35,393 --> 00:40:37,687
We have a recordingof a phone call
972
00:40:37,729 --> 00:40:40,357
between Mr. and Mrs. Palmerwhere she confessed
973
00:40:40,398 --> 00:40:42,067
to killing Jordan Bryant.
974
00:40:42,108 --> 00:40:44,027
Amanda Palmer.
975
00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:46,905
You're under arrest.
976
00:40:46,946 --> 00:40:49,949
- She was trying to protect
her husband's misdeeds
977
00:40:49,991 --> 00:40:52,369
from becoming public,
978
00:40:52,410 --> 00:40:55,038
but Amanda Palmerhas been apprehended
979
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,207
by the detectives of the NYPD.
980
00:40:57,248 --> 00:41:00,543
We have charged her
with second-degree murder.
981
00:41:00,585 --> 00:41:04,547
And I assure you,
justice will be served.
982
00:41:04,589 --> 00:41:10,220
