How the hell did she get a copy of the yearbook? 184 00:10:37,195 --> 00:10:40,115 People clean out their closets, put things on the street. 185 00:10:40,172 --> 00:10:44,859 What did this person do anyway? She's a suspect in a murder investigation. 186 00:10:46,492 --> 00:10:48,944 Evan Barry gave us D.N.A. 187 00:10:49,001 --> 00:10:51,510 The dismembered body is his father, Roger Barry. 188 00:10:51,576 --> 00:10:54,085 The blood that we found in Roger Barry's bathtub drain... 189 00:10:54,151 --> 00:10:57,162 matches the blood on the knife that we found in the fake Jennifer Shelby's apartment. 190 00:10:57,228 --> 00:10:59,178 All that blood belongs to? Roger Barry. 191 00:10:59,234 --> 00:11:02,416 We know where he got cut up and what he got cut up with. And the real Jennifer Shelby? 192 00:11:02,478 --> 00:11:05,489 She's as baffled as we are She has no idea who this other woman is. 193 00:11:05,555 --> 00:11:08,736 We got plainclothes officers sittin' on the apartment just in case she returns. 194 00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:11,810 Whoever she is, she had to pay the rent. 195 00:11:15,287 --> 00:11:18,708 I only met her once, when she came in to sign the lease. 196 00:11:18,765 --> 00:11:22,722 Roger Barry referred her. God, I can't believe he's dead. Shocking! 197 00:11:22,778 --> 00:11:25,060 Did she put down a security deposit? 198 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,970 Yeah, first and last months Cash.

Believe me, I know the drill. 218 00:12:25,886 --> 00:12:28,897 You a friend of Bill's? Yup, for many years. 219 00:12:28,962 --> 00:12:30,968 Then you know my hands are tied. 220 00:12:31,036 --> 00:12:33,544 They're gonna be in handcuffs in a minute if you don't start talking. 221 00:12:33,611 --> 00:12:37,260 This woman's wanted for questioning in a murder. Jennifer Shelby? A murder? 222 00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:39,273 Are we gettin‘ through to you now, Marty? 223 00:12:39,330 --> 00:12:43,081 She's been at a bunch of meetings She's a nice girl, far as I can tell. 224 00:12:43,142 --> 00:12:45,388 She's deaf. How‘d she participate? 225 00:12:45,450 --> 00:12:48,198 Well, she reads lips. Somehow she manages. 226 00:12:48,259 --> 00:12:51,110 We offered to get her an interpreter, but she wasn't interested. 227 00:12:51,169 --> 00:12:54,350 When was the last time she was here? Last week. 228 00:12:54,412 --> 00:12:58,598 By the way, Mr. Narcotics Anonymous, how come you know her last name? 229 00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:00,838 She was handing out these flyers. 230 00:13:00,901 --> 00:13:04,584 She's got a painting hanging in this gallery show down the street. 231 00:13:07,857 --> 00:13:09,807 She never gave me a contact number. Sorry 232 00:13:09,864 --> 00:13:11,870 What if you sold one of her paintings? 233 00:13:11,937 --> 00:13:14,651 I hold the money for her till she gets in touch with me. 234 00:13:14,713 --> 00:13:17,963 That's Jenny's. It's a lot like her. 235 00:13:18,023 --> 00:13:21,034 Mysterious, brooding, secretive. 236 00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:23,609 I kind of like it. I don't know if I could live with it, but... 237 00:13:23,675 --> 00:13:26,355 My idea of modern art is LeRoy Neiman. 238 00:13:26,417 --> 00:13:28,424 She signed it. It's dated last month. 239 00:13:28,491 --> 00:13:31,205 She didn't have any paints in her apartment. Canvases, nothing. 240 00:13:31,268 --> 00:13:35,282 A lot of our artists rent studio space in the Co-op on Avenue "C". 241 00:13:35,347 --> 00:13:37,297 You're in luck. 242 00:13:37,353 --> 00:13:39,862 Jen's been here all day. She's on a creative jag. 243 00:13:39,928 --> 00:13:43,110 I used to have those, only I called them benders. 244 00:13:43,173 --> 00:13:45,682 This is Jen's studio. I'll let you guys be. 245 00:13:45,748 --> 00:13:49,762 Would you mind unlocking the door? She's not gonna hear us knock. Right. I forgot. 246 00:13:53,976 --> 00:13:55,926 There you go. Thanks. 247 00:13:59,928 --> 00:14:02,174 How do we get her attention? I don't wanna scare her. 248 00:14:02,235 --> 00:14:04,847 Maybe she can feel vibration. 249 00:14:08,824 --> 00:14:11,070 Whoa! Hey! 250 00:14:11,132 --> 00:14:13,948 Stop! Stop! All right, take it... 251 00:14:14,007 --> 00:14:16,014 No! 252 00:14:18,288 --> 00:14:22,109 Docket number 456383, People v. Eli Madison. 253 00:14:22,168 --> 00:14:25,852 Charge is murder in the second degree. How does the defendant plead? 254 00:14:25,914 --> 00:14:28,422 Not guilty, Your Honor. Ms. Southerlyn? 255 00:14:28,489 --> 00:14:32,640 The accused is charged with murdering his 50-year-old neighbor and hacking him into pieces. 256 00:14:32,702 --> 00:14:36,180 I imagine you're requesting remand. Your turn, Mr Archer 257 00:14:36,247 --> 00:14:39,702 Mr. Madison is a scion of one of New York's best-known families. 258 00:14:39,758 --> 00:14:43,374 Yes, and I remember reading about him in all the papers, what was it, 10 years ago? 259 00:14:43,438 --> 00:14:46,984 Those accusations were false, Your Honor. They shouldn't be taken into consideration now. 260 00:14:47,049 --> 00:14:49,763 The defendant has been living under an assumed name. 261 00:14:49,825 --> 00:14:52,574 To avoid the negative publicity that almost destroyed him. 262 00:14:52,635 --> 00:14:54,585 Jennifer Shelby, Your Honor. 263 00:14:54,641 --> 00:14:57,652 - Excuse me, counselor? - His assumed name and false identity. 264 00:14:57,717 --> 00:15:00,568 He's been living as a woman, Your Honor. 265 00:15:00,627 --> 00:15:04,105 Better and better. Bail is set at two million dollars. 266 00:15:04,172 --> 00:15:06,384 Defendant will surrender his passport. 267 00:15:06,446 --> 00:15:08,693 Next? 268 00:15:08,754 --> 00:15:12,004 Is this the same Eli Madison whose wife went missing 10 years ago? 269 00:15:12,065 --> 00:15:15,988 The same Eli Madison Adam Schiff could never quite indict for her murder. 270 00:15:16,044 --> 00:15:19,728 Why not? Because her body was never found. 271 00:15:19,790 --> 00:15:23,405 Eli claimed she just walked out on him one clay. She's never been seen since. 272 00:15:23,469 --> 00:15:25,785 How good a case was it? 273 00:15:25,844 --> 00:15:30,029 The police found traces of Caroline Madison's blood in their bedroom, 274 00:15:30,091 --> 00:15:32,235 evidence of a missing rug... 275 00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:35,148 and a dryer full of freshly washed sheets. 276 00:15:35,207 --> 00:15:38,719 Hmm. That had to be quite a sight. Eli Madison doing his own laundry. 277 00:15:38,787 --> 00:15:41,968 Eli could never really account for his movements that day. 278 00:15:42,030 --> 00:15:46,854 Lots of gaps and inconsistencies, and his alibi was his best friend. 279 00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:50,699 And after the story broke and Madison was questioned by the police, 280 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:52,709 he fled the country. 281 00:15:52,766 --> 00:15:55,251 Evidence of consciousness of guilt. It sounds pretty solid. 282 00:15:55,307 --> 00:15:59,732 Lots of bits and pieces, but never quite enough. And the Madisons had clout. 283 00:15:59,789 --> 00:16:02,708 This office has tried a couple of homicides without a body, 284 00:16:02,765 --> 00:16:05,776 but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it. 285 00:16:05,841 --> 00:16:09,023 What about this case? We have a body. Most of one, anyway. 286 00:16:09,086 --> 00:16:12,040 Unfortunately, not the parts that would tell us cause of death. 287 00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:14,776 - What are we missing? - The head, the heart. 288 00:16:14,838 --> 00:16:18,225 We'll have to trust the jury to draw the obvious conclusion. 289 00:16:18,283 --> 00:16:22,297 Which may not be all that obvious when it comes time to deliberate. 290 00:16:22,362 --> 00:16:27,323 He's got Al Archer, who'll blow a lot of expensive smoke up the jury's skirt. 291 00:16:27,379 --> 00:16:30,458 We can handle Archer and his legions of experts, Arthur. 292 00:16:30,523 --> 00:16:33,944 He also churns more documents than the Land O' Lake girl churns butter. Let him churn. 293 00:16:34,001 --> 00:16:36,418 The facts don't disappear. 294 00:16:36,476 --> 00:16:39,486 But they can be spun, along with a jury. 295 00:16:39,553 --> 00:16:42,666 And I'd feel a lot better if we had a motive. 296 00:16:44,837 --> 00:16:46,787 Well, let the churning begin. 297 00:16:46,843 --> 00:16:49,352 Motion fora change of venue. 298 00:16:53,231 --> 00:16:56,310 Had I known, I'd have rented a banquet hall. 299 00:16:56,374 --> 00:17:00,959 Because of the nature of the case and the difficulty and the variety of the issues involved, 300 00:17:01,023 --> 00:17:04,444 Mr. Madison has authorized me to retain co-counsel in his behalf. 301 00:17:04,501 --> 00:17:07,283 This is Ron Gumer from Hanson Brackens. 302 00:17:07,344 --> 00:17:09,956 He'll be advising on matters forensic. Your Honor. 303 00:17:10,019 --> 00:17:12,528 Madeline Myers from the Prescott firm. 304 00:17:12,594 --> 00:17:15,103 She'll be dealing with the D.N.A. evidence. Sir. 305 00:17:15,169 --> 00:17:18,420 And Professor Enright, who I'm sure you know, wrote the book on venue, literally. 306 00:17:18,481 --> 00:17:20,727 The more, the merrier. 307 00:17:20,788 --> 00:17:23,137 I assume this is your party, Professor? Thank you, Your Honor. 308 00:17:23,196 --> 00:17:25,772 As we're all aware, 309 00:17:25,838 --> 00:17:28,654 the critical consideration of the venue provisions... 310 00:17:28,714 --> 00:17:31,166 is whether the defendant can get a fair trial... 311 00:17:31,222 --> 00:17:33,834 in the community in which the crime occurred 312 00:17:33,898 --> 00:17:36,646 “Millionaire Murderer." 313 00:17:37,911 --> 00:17:39,862 “Mayflower Maniac." 314 00:17:41,155 --> 00:17:44,906 "Seven-figure Sadist." "Wealthy Wife Killer." 315 00:17:44,967 --> 00:17:48,822 As we can see from these headlines, a jury in this jurisdiction... 316 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,028 cannot possibly approach this case with an open mind. 317 00:17:52,091 --> 00:17:55,569 - The entire jury pool has been poisoned - Those headlines are 10 years old. 318 00:17:55,636 --> 00:17:59,251 The case at bar does not involve Caroline Madison's disappearance. 319 00:17:59,314 --> 00:18:04,332 Caroline Madison's family kept her dissappearance at the forefront of the city's consciousness... 320 00:18:04,398 --> 00:18:07,579 with its very public wrongful death lawsuit against our client. 321 00:18:07,642 --> 00:18:10,128 And may I remind Your Honor... 322 00:18:10,184 --> 00:18:13,936 that that case was dismissed only after six years of litigation and publicity. 323 00:18:13,996 --> 00:18:18,181 And where would you have me transfer the case, Mr. Archer? 324 00:18:18,244 --> 00:18:21,357 - Suffolk County would be satisfactory to the defense. - The Hamptons! 325 00:18:21,421 --> 00:18:25,002 Why not hold the trial in the lounge of Eli Madison's country club? 326 00:18:25,066 --> 00:18:29,719 Your Honor, any prior knowledge of Mr. Madison's first run-in with the law... 327 00:18:29,781 --> 00:18:31,731 can be dealt with on voir dire. 328 00:18:31,788 --> 00:18:34,833 I agree, Mr. McCoy. Defense motion is denied. 329 00:18:34,899 --> 00:18:39,187 In that case, Your Honor, I move to preclude any mention of Ms. Madison's disappearance. 330 00:18:39,246 --> 00:18:42,165 People oppose the request. On what grounds? 331 00:18:42,223 --> 00:18:45,575 You just said the case at bar doesn't involve Caroline Maclison's disappearance. 332 00:18:45,633 --> 00:18:48,644 Those are your words, Mr. McCoy. He's changing the context, Your Honor. 333 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:51,927 No, Mr. McCoy. If it involves Ms. Madison's disappearance, 334 00:18:51,988 --> 00:18:54,702 it will not be admissible in my courtroom. 335 00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:02,660 I analyzed blood found in the decedent's bathroom... 336 00:19:02,723 --> 00:19:05,404 and on the knife found in the defendant's apartment, 337 00:19:05,466 --> 00:19:07,815 as well as the body parts found by the police. 338 00:19:07,873 --> 00:19:10,986 - How many matches did you find? - Nine. 339 00:19:11,051 --> 00:19:15,532 - Have you reached a conclusion? - The D.N.A. samples are from the same individual. 340 00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:18,381 The blood on the knife in Mr. Madison's apartment, 341 00:19:18,441 --> 00:19:21,953 the blood in Mr. Barry's bathtub... 342 00:19:22,020 --> 00:19:25,031 and the body parts... all the same D.N.A.? 343 00:19:25,097 --> 00:19:27,548 Yes. 344 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:32,189 Specifically, Doctor, what analytic method did your lab use? 345 00:19:32,253 --> 00:19:35,366 P.C.R.

I guess he had a heart attack. 417 00:23:37,894 --> 00:23:41,852 I did C.P.R. on him. It seemed like hours. 418 00:23:41,908 --> 00:23:43,858 But... 419 00:23:45,519 --> 00:23:48,369 So Mr. Barry is lying there, dead, 420 00:23:48,429 --> 00:23:51,041 despite your best efforts to revive him. 421 00:23:51,104 --> 00:23:53,818 So what‘d you do next, Eli?

I'd never survive. 425 00:24:05,987 --> 00:24:09,100 So I decided to get rid of Roger's body. 426 00:24:09,163 --> 00:24:12,310 So that's when you went back to your apartment to get that knife. 427 00:24:12,374 --> 00:24:15,522 - That's not my knife - It isn't? 428 00:24:15,585 --> 00:24:18,972 I've never seen it before.

He made his own furniture. 445 00:25:10,532 --> 00:25:14,455 Quite a coincidence that the knife the police found in your apartment. 446 00:25:14,512 --> 00:25:18,560 has the same characteristics as the metal cutter they didn't find. 447 00:25:18,625 --> 00:25:22,639 Do you know why they didn't find it? I tossed it into one of the Dumpsters. 448 00:25:22,705 --> 00:25:25,021 I guess they didn't look hard enough. 449 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,866 The police also failed to find Mr. Barry's heart, 450 00:25:28,926 --> 00:25:31,377 which would have proved or disproved... 451 00:25:31,433 --> 00:25:33,715 your story about a heart attack. 452 00:25:33,775 --> 00:25:38,234 I wish they had.
