00:00:01,082 --> 00:00:02,709
NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,783 --> 00:00:06,617
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,754 --> 00:00:08,585
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,656 --> 00:00:11,250
and the district attorneys,
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,492 --> 00:00:12,891
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,195 --> 00:00:16,390
"Just light it up here.
No one will even notice."
7
00:00:16,497 --> 00:00:18,863
How was I supposed to know
there was a cop up the street?
8
00:00:18,933 --> 00:00:20,992
Because you were
supposed to be watching.
9
00:00:21,135 --> 00:00:23,375
Look on the bright side. At
least you won't have a record.
10
00:00:23,471 --> 00:00:25,735
Yeah, not to mention the
great workout I'm getting.
11
00:00:25,806 --> 00:00:27,034
You know what your problem is?
12
00:00:27,108 --> 00:00:29,076
You don't know how to
look on the bright side.
13
00:00:29,143 --> 00:00:30,183
You know what Lincoln said.
14
00:00:30,277 --> 00:00:31,369
Leslie, call the supervisor.
15
00:00:31,445 --> 00:00:35,108
"Most people are about as happy as
they make their minds up to be."
16
00:00:35,316 --> 00:00:38,183
Leslie, would you quit the damn
psychobabble and get the supervisor?
17
00:00:38,352 --> 00:00:39,842
What, why?
18
00:00:41,155 --> 00:00:42,179
Oh, my God.
19
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:47,491
Wallet's gone.
No ID.
20
00:00:47,561 --> 00:00:48,892
You thinking it was a mugging?
21
00:00:48,963 --> 00:00:51,056
Can't think of a
more amenable spot.
22
00:00:51,465 --> 00:00:53,626
One of my guys found a piece of
paper with some scribble on it
23
00:00:53,701 --> 00:00:55,168
in the DOA's jacket pocket.
24
00:00:55,236 --> 00:00:57,329
I wanna get a look at that before
it goes to the lab, all right?
25
00:00:57,404 --> 00:00:58,496
You got it.
26
00:00:58,572 --> 00:01:00,665
Neck was snapped
like a stalk of celery.
27
00:01:00,741 --> 00:01:02,709
I hate celery.
It's good for you, man.
28
00:01:02,776 --> 00:01:03,936
There you go.
29
00:01:04,111 --> 00:01:06,079
Body temp tells me he's a
relatively new arrival.
30
00:01:06,147 --> 00:01:07,978
Dead maybe 12, 14 hours.
31
00:01:08,048 --> 00:01:10,573
Twelve to 14 hours?
You sure about that?
32
00:01:10,684 --> 00:01:13,278
Give or take. No external
wounds or obvious bruising.
33
00:01:13,354 --> 00:01:15,618
Hey, maybe we're looking
at a real act of God?
34
00:01:15,689 --> 00:01:18,283
I doubt God needed
his watch, cash and keys.
35
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,788
Have fun, this guy's
handwriting's worse than mine.
36
00:01:21,862 --> 00:01:24,524
That shouldn't be a problem. Lennie
takes my messages sometimes.
37
00:01:24,598 --> 00:01:27,761
I'm fluent in scribble.
Looks like a to-do list.
38
00:01:27,902 --> 00:01:29,335
"Pick up dry cleaning,
39
00:01:29,403 --> 00:01:31,997
"photos,
flowers for Suzy..."
40
00:01:32,072 --> 00:01:38,768
Looks like Suzy will be
the one sending flowers.
Ripped By mstoll
41
00:02:26,327 --> 00:02:28,921
No defensive wounds, no
bruising around the neck,
42
00:02:28,996 --> 00:02:30,156
which was snapped like a...
43
00:02:30,231 --> 00:02:32,324
I know, like a stalk of celery.
44
00:02:32,399 --> 00:02:34,629
I was going to say like a twig.
But celery's good.
45
00:02:34,702 --> 00:02:35,964
So he went without a struggle?
46
00:02:36,036 --> 00:02:38,196
Yeah, I'm thinking it went
down too quick to fight back.
47
00:02:38,405 --> 00:02:41,306
Oh, and I'm betting that
the bad guy was a lefty.
48
00:02:41,508 --> 00:02:42,839
Oh, this is going to be good.
49
00:02:42,910 --> 00:02:48,006
Now, I'm a righty. If I wanted to
snap your neck, I'd go like this.
50
00:02:48,181 --> 00:02:50,115
And just the opposite
for a lefty.
51
00:02:50,216 --> 00:02:53,049
The crack in his spinal column was
at a downward angle like this.
52
00:02:53,119 --> 00:02:55,451
Now if you can only tell us
what he was doing in the park.
53
00:02:55,521 --> 00:02:57,352
What makes you think I can't?
54
00:02:57,423 --> 00:02:59,516
He was found face down, right?
Yeah.
55
00:02:59,592 --> 00:03:01,787
Blood pooled in
the posterior cavities,
56
00:03:01,894 --> 00:03:04,328
so unless this guy
was able to defy gravity...
57
00:03:04,397 --> 00:03:06,865
He was killed somewhere
else and then dumped.
58
00:03:06,933 --> 00:03:08,025
Damn litterbugs.
59
00:03:08,101 --> 00:03:09,796
Any identifying marks?
60
00:03:10,603 --> 00:03:12,070
You mean something like this?
61
00:03:16,809 --> 00:03:17,935
(BUZZING)
62
00:03:18,011 --> 00:03:20,138
So I'm a few days late
renewing my license,
63
00:03:20,213 --> 00:03:21,874
I still run a kosher shop.
64
00:03:21,948 --> 00:03:23,575
Mr. Pina, that ain't
why we're here.
65
00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:25,242
If it's that parole thing...
66
00:03:25,318 --> 00:03:27,183
Ralph, maybe you oughta
keep your mouth shut
67
00:03:27,253 --> 00:03:29,244
before you talk
yourself into a felony.
68
00:03:29,322 --> 00:03:30,789
Come on, we need your expertise.
69
00:03:30,857 --> 00:03:33,883
Yeah? Always wanted to
be an expert witness.
70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,552
Oh, don't jump the gun, huh?
71
00:03:35,628 --> 00:03:37,391
What about this guy?
72
00:03:37,463 --> 00:03:39,090
Is he one of your clients?
73
00:03:39,165 --> 00:03:40,165
Never seen him.
74
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,792
What about this tattoo?
75
00:03:43,403 --> 00:03:44,665
Nice work.
76
00:03:44,737 --> 00:03:46,364
Only one guy who
does flames like that.
77
00:03:46,806 --> 00:03:47,864
Name's Hades.
78
00:03:47,940 --> 00:03:48,964
He got a real name?
79
00:03:49,042 --> 00:03:50,373
I thought that was it.
80
00:03:50,710 --> 00:03:53,144
Where can we find
the artist known as Hades?
81
00:03:53,413 --> 00:03:55,938
Try artist formerly known as Hades.
He's dead.
82
00:03:56,349 --> 00:03:58,544
Died in a motorcycle
accident two months ago.
83
00:03:58,651 --> 00:03:59,675
Okay, how about this?
84
00:03:59,752 --> 00:04:01,083
This have any special meaning?
85
00:04:01,154 --> 00:04:02,382
I don't do Japanese.
86
00:04:02,955 --> 00:04:04,547
Nam. Two tours.
87
00:04:04,724 --> 00:04:07,386
I know it's not the same,
but I still get spooked.
88
00:04:09,128 --> 00:04:10,652
And what's in it for me?
89
00:04:10,730 --> 00:04:12,925
That cup of coffee's as
good as it's gonna get.
90
00:04:12,999 --> 00:04:15,524
Your partner, he only calls
when he wants something cheap.
91
00:04:15,601 --> 00:04:18,764
Yeah, but I have your number
on speed dial, Detective.
92
00:04:21,174 --> 00:04:24,007
"Ike." It means "Live."
93
00:04:24,243 --> 00:04:25,267
Okay, that solves it.
94
00:04:25,345 --> 00:04:26,903
Not so fast, sport.
95
00:04:26,979 --> 00:04:28,708
Ike is also short for lkedo.
96
00:04:29,716 --> 00:04:32,116
It's a last name.
Ike's a nickname.
97
00:04:32,185 --> 00:04:35,154
You know, like "Sully" for Sullivan
or "Fitzy" for Fitzgerald.
98
00:04:35,221 --> 00:04:36,848
Plus it has a double meaning.
99
00:04:36,923 --> 00:04:41,690
Yeah, can I have the
number for a Suzy lkedo?
100
00:04:41,961 --> 00:04:42,961
In Manhattan.
101
00:04:43,730 --> 00:04:45,960
S. L-K-E-D-O.
102
00:04:46,366 --> 00:04:47,958
Smart guy, my partner, huh?
103
00:04:48,434 --> 00:04:49,594
That's it.
104
00:04:51,037 --> 00:04:52,197
Norman Pratt.
105
00:04:53,506 --> 00:04:55,736
He proposed to me a month ago.
106
00:04:57,577 --> 00:05:00,102
He was saving up
to buy me a real ring.
107
00:05:00,780 --> 00:05:03,544
He said he couldn't wait until
he had the money to ask me.
108
00:05:04,650 --> 00:05:07,016
He made me promise
I'd wear this.
109
00:05:09,389 --> 00:05:11,414
We're sorry, Miss lkedo.
110
00:05:12,525 --> 00:05:15,517
Do you know of anyone that would
want to hurt your fiancé?
111
00:05:15,595 --> 00:05:17,495
I can't think of anyone.
112
00:05:17,563 --> 00:05:20,293
Any friends of his he might
have had a falling out with?
113
00:05:20,500 --> 00:05:22,058
Norman was a recovering addict.
114
00:05:22,135 --> 00:05:23,693
So, some of his acquaintances...
115
00:05:23,770 --> 00:05:25,761
BRISCOE: Weren't exactly
model citizens, huh?
116
00:05:25,838 --> 00:05:28,170
But I don't think any of
them would want to hurt him.
117
00:05:28,574 --> 00:05:31,737
Is there a chance that
Norman started using again?
118
00:05:32,545 --> 00:05:36,208
He's been clean almost a year. He's got
a really good program, a good job.
119
00:05:36,282 --> 00:05:37,579
He put his life back together.
120
00:05:37,650 --> 00:05:39,413
ED: What kind
of work was he doing?
121
00:05:39,485 --> 00:05:42,784
He's a limo driver. He was
driving last night, too.
122
00:05:43,656 --> 00:05:46,022
SUZY: At least
that's what he told me.
123
00:05:47,226 --> 00:05:48,887
So what if Norman
was out of rehab?
124
00:05:48,961 --> 00:05:50,758
I got an ex-con
working as a mechanic.
125
00:05:50,830 --> 00:05:52,593
If I don't give these
kids jobs, who will?
126
00:05:52,665 --> 00:05:54,599
Hey, no job,
we all know what happens.
127
00:05:54,667 --> 00:05:56,032
Hey, I'm just doing my part.
128
00:05:56,102 --> 00:05:58,900
So can we assume that Norman
Pratt was a good worker?
129
00:05:59,172 --> 00:06:00,298
No complaints.
130
00:06:02,875 --> 00:06:04,536
Aw, jeez.
131
00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:06,237
I really liked this kid.
132
00:06:06,446 --> 00:06:09,207
But you weren't concerned when he
didn't show up for work this morning?
133
00:06:09,215 --> 00:06:10,409
Why would I even notice?
134
00:06:10,516 --> 00:06:12,108
He has one of your cars, right?
135
00:06:12,185 --> 00:06:14,153
Yeah. It was an overnight
to Atlantic City.
136
00:06:14,253 --> 00:06:15,447
And?
137
00:06:15,822 --> 00:06:18,086
Sorry, we guarantee
confidentiality.
138
00:06:18,424 --> 00:06:21,757
Mr. Bosford, Norman Pratt
was murdered last night.
139
00:06:21,861 --> 00:06:23,260
Do I really have to tell you?
140
00:06:23,329 --> 00:06:24,853
All right, all right,
of course. I'm sorry.
141
00:06:24,931 --> 00:06:26,523
I don't know
what I was thinking.
142
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:28,499
Good kid like that.
143
00:06:28,601 --> 00:06:30,159
I'll get you the routing sheet.
144
00:06:34,841 --> 00:06:35,967
Kevin Seleeby.
145
00:06:36,909 --> 00:06:38,934
As in Kevin Seleeby
the baseball player?
146
00:06:39,078 --> 00:06:42,241
He uses us all the time.
Norm always drove him.
147
00:06:43,983 --> 00:06:46,747
I always gave him
the plum assignments.
148
00:06:49,655 --> 00:06:51,919
That's the one I hit
my first dinger with.
149
00:06:51,991 --> 00:06:55,085
Wow! I figured you have kept
using it till it cracked.
150
00:06:55,228 --> 00:06:58,026
I would have, but I struck out
the next 10 times at bat.
151
00:06:58,097 --> 00:07:00,137
There's something about me
and a major league slider.
152
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,064
Well, you finally
figured it out.
153
00:07:02,168 --> 00:07:04,534
Yeah, you dance
or you go home, right?
154
00:07:05,238 --> 00:07:06,967
So, what can I do
you gentlemen for?
155
00:07:07,039 --> 00:07:10,406
We had some questions
about Norman Pratt.
156
00:07:10,543 --> 00:07:12,010
Good guy.
157
00:07:12,078 --> 00:07:13,272
Past tense, Kevin.
158
00:07:14,580 --> 00:07:15,604
He was murdered.
159
00:07:17,450 --> 00:07:18,610
Wow.
160
00:07:19,352 --> 00:07:21,445
I mean, he was just
with us last night.
161
00:07:21,621 --> 00:07:22,645
Us?
162
00:07:22,989 --> 00:07:26,891
My agent, Martin Stanley,
and my cousin, Davie.
163
00:07:27,159 --> 00:07:28,387
We went down to Atlantic City.
164
00:07:28,628 --> 00:07:30,027
What time did you get back?
165
00:07:30,763 --> 00:07:32,243
Norman dropped me off
around midnight.
166
00:07:32,331 --> 00:07:34,128
I think.
I couldn't be too sure.
167
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,134
I thought you
booked an overnight.
168
00:07:36,769 --> 00:07:38,532
We lost a little quicker
than we expected.
169
00:07:38,604 --> 00:07:39,604
I hear that.
170
00:07:40,873 --> 00:07:42,306
Damn, poor Norman.
171
00:07:43,442 --> 00:07:45,808
He had a girlfriend,
a fiancée, somewhere.
172
00:07:46,445 --> 00:07:48,913
Yeah, we spoke to her already.
173
00:07:49,015 --> 00:07:51,210
So, you and Norman
were pretty friendly?
174
00:07:52,084 --> 00:07:53,312
He was cool.
175
00:07:53,519 --> 00:07:56,181
Didn't hassle me for balls,
autographs, stuff like that.
176
00:07:56,455 --> 00:07:58,255
We got to know each other
after a while, sure.
177
00:07:58,858 --> 00:08:00,985
He say anything
about any enemies?
178
00:08:01,060 --> 00:08:04,154
No. Norman was the kind of guy
who always wanted to help out.
179
00:08:04,530 --> 00:08:06,760
He said if there's anything
I want, just ask.
180
00:08:07,066 --> 00:08:08,590
What did he mean by that?
181
00:08:09,035 --> 00:08:11,230
Hey, I'm just a hick
from North Dakota.
182
00:08:11,304 --> 00:08:13,135
I didn't want to
embarrass myself.
183
00:08:13,406 --> 00:08:15,930
Hey, wasn't Maris
from North Dakota?
184
00:08:16,741 --> 00:08:18,902
I've got a signed
picture on my wall.
185
00:08:19,945 --> 00:08:22,778
VAN BUREN: What is it with
the male of the species?
186
00:08:22,847 --> 00:08:23,836
BRISCOE: You got
a couple of months?
187
00:08:23,915 --> 00:08:27,817
Well I'm referring to how you can
just about melt in front of a guy
188
00:08:27,886 --> 00:08:29,513
who can hit a ball with a bat.
189
00:08:29,588 --> 00:08:33,957
All I said was, if the kid stays
healthy he's a lock for Cooperstown.
190
00:08:34,059 --> 00:08:36,994
Yeah, only it's how you said it.
How did I say it?
191
00:08:37,062 --> 00:08:40,054
Like a six year old talking
about a banana split.
192
00:08:41,232 --> 00:08:43,063
Oh, please, like
you're any better?
193
00:08:43,134 --> 00:08:45,694
"Maybe he'll sign
his rookie card for me."
194
00:08:45,770 --> 00:08:47,829
No, see, that was
a business proposition.
195
00:08:47,939 --> 00:08:51,466
That rookie card could put my
grandchildren through medical school.
196
00:08:51,576 --> 00:08:53,100
Moving right along.
197
00:08:53,411 --> 00:08:57,177
Seleeby and friends were the last
guys to see Pratt alive, right?
198
00:08:57,248 --> 00:08:58,408
Oh, ain't no way.
199
00:08:58,483 --> 00:09:00,815
M.E. Said the
doer was a lefty.
200
00:09:00,885 --> 00:09:03,319
What side of the plate
does Seleeby bat from?
201
00:09:03,388 --> 00:09:05,652
Thirty percent
of the league bats lefty.
202
00:09:05,724 --> 00:09:07,282
And that don't
include switch hitters.
203
00:09:07,359 --> 00:09:10,157
Okay, if not Seleeby, then who?
204
00:09:10,261 --> 00:09:13,560
He did say Norman Pratt bragged he
could get his hands on anything.
205
00:09:13,665 --> 00:09:15,030
Like what?
206
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:17,464
Maybe his fiancée will know.
207
00:09:19,571 --> 00:09:21,562
I told you, Norman
was off the stuff.
208
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:22,834
We're not saying he was using,
209
00:09:22,907 --> 00:09:25,273
but what if some of his
passengers wanted some?
210
00:09:25,377 --> 00:09:27,377
He wasn't a pusher if that's
what you're hinting at.
211
00:09:27,412 --> 00:09:29,175
No, not a pusher.
An accommodator.
212
00:09:29,247 --> 00:09:31,477
Look, that ring
he was going to buy you,
213
00:09:31,583 --> 00:09:33,949
a couple of extra bucks
wouldn't hurt the cause.
214
00:09:34,019 --> 00:09:36,419
He's dead. How can you
slander him like this?
215
00:09:36,488 --> 00:09:40,083
Because it might help us find
out why he's dead, Suzy.
216
00:09:42,994 --> 00:09:45,360
There was a guy he
used to buy meth from.
217
00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:48,024
Ellery. Roger Ellery.
Norman called him Doc.
218
00:09:48,099 --> 00:09:51,159
But they haven't seen each other
since Norman got out of rehab.
219
00:09:52,804 --> 00:09:55,272
I'm a doctor, that's
why he called me Doc.
220
00:09:55,340 --> 00:09:57,274
And this is your office?
That's right.
221
00:09:57,342 --> 00:09:58,969
Sort of a Marcus
Welby thing, huh?
222
00:09:59,044 --> 00:10:00,238
Make a lot of house calls?
223
00:10:00,311 --> 00:10:01,642
I'm a PhD in chemistry.
224
00:10:01,713 --> 00:10:04,580
Yeah, and I can guess what
kind of chemicals you cook up.
225
00:10:04,649 --> 00:10:06,173
You can go now.
226
00:10:06,284 --> 00:10:09,219
Lennie, what do you think the good
doctor's got brewing back here?
227
00:10:09,287 --> 00:10:10,549
Beats me.
228
00:10:10,622 --> 00:10:12,487
On my way to the can,
I'll take a look.
229
00:10:12,857 --> 00:10:14,324
ELLERY: You guys are funny.
230
00:10:14,426 --> 00:10:16,121
I hear there's an
opening at Caroline's.
231
00:10:16,194 --> 00:10:19,652
Yeah, we'd check it out, but we're
getting our laughs working a homicide.
232
00:10:19,764 --> 00:10:21,732
We don't care what
you're selling, Doc.
233
00:10:23,802 --> 00:10:25,736
Sure, I knew Norman Pratt.
234
00:10:26,137 --> 00:10:28,901
Yeah, I sold him crystal
meth, crack sometimes.
235
00:10:28,973 --> 00:10:30,304
But I'm not into that anymore.
236
00:10:30,375 --> 00:10:31,467
What are you into?
237
00:10:31,609 --> 00:10:34,373
Oxymetholone.
It's an anabolic steroid.
238
00:10:34,612 --> 00:10:37,132
You mean, like the kind that
athletes ain't supposed to be using?
239
00:10:37,615 --> 00:10:39,742
Athletes like Kevin Seleeby?
240
00:10:40,652 --> 00:10:42,950
Norman might have
mentioned his name.
241
00:10:44,589 --> 00:10:47,990
Now they'll have to put an asterisk
next to his name in the record books.
242
00:10:48,059 --> 00:10:49,253
Just like his idol.
243
00:10:49,327 --> 00:10:53,058
Makes it harder to believe the
Babe hit 60 on hot dogs and beer
244
00:10:53,131 --> 00:10:55,031
during a 154-game
season.
245
00:10:55,133 --> 00:10:57,067
In my book he deserves
an asterisk, too.
246
00:10:57,135 --> 00:10:58,227
Babe Ruth?
247
00:10:58,303 --> 00:10:59,827
He never faced Satchel, did he?
248
00:11:00,538 --> 00:11:01,800
Yeah, Green.
249
00:11:02,774 --> 00:11:04,241
We're five minutes away.
250
00:11:04,676 --> 00:11:06,701
Ah! They found
Pratt's limo.
251
00:11:06,978 --> 00:11:08,377
All right, we'll talk to you.
252
00:11:09,681 --> 00:11:12,081
OFFICER: Vehicle was sticking out
into the lane like three feet.
253
00:11:12,150 --> 00:11:13,913
Like this was his
own personal driveway.
254
00:11:13,985 --> 00:11:15,213
ED: What time
did you find it?
255
00:11:15,286 --> 00:11:16,810
Wrote the ticket
at 11:10.
256
00:11:16,888 --> 00:11:18,048
Just got your APB.
257
00:11:18,123 --> 00:11:20,990
I called CSU to pop the locks,
dust for prints, whatnot.
258
00:11:21,059 --> 00:11:22,424
Nice work, Officer.
259
00:11:22,527 --> 00:11:25,587
Okay, tell me you found
a signed confession.
260
00:11:25,663 --> 00:11:28,632
Other than about a million
prints, this baby's clean.
261
00:11:29,033 --> 00:11:32,594
Hey, Lennie. It says here that
when Norman took the car out,
262
00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:35,605
odometer read 11,622 miles.
263
00:11:35,673 --> 00:11:36,673
So?
264
00:11:36,741 --> 00:11:40,643
Well, now it reads 11,629.
265
00:11:40,812 --> 00:11:43,713
So either they moved Atlantic
City a whole lot closer...
266
00:11:43,782 --> 00:11:46,376
Or Saleeby and his posse
never left Manhattan.
267
00:11:46,451 --> 00:11:49,352
That asterisk is getting
bigger as we speak.
268
00:11:54,259 --> 00:11:56,056
Okay, it's not
like it's a secret.
269
00:11:56,227 --> 00:11:58,491
BRISCOE: Well it's not exactly
public knowledge either.
270
00:11:58,563 --> 00:12:00,053
The guys know.
271
00:12:00,131 --> 00:12:01,530
Hell, most of them
are on it, too.
272
00:12:01,833 --> 00:12:05,064
Yeah, but most of them don't have a
driver that ended up dead in the park.
273
00:12:08,306 --> 00:12:10,240
Look, I told you what I knew.
274
00:12:10,308 --> 00:12:13,300
BRISCOE: The trouble is,
we like fact, not fiction.
275
00:12:14,179 --> 00:12:15,203
Screw you.
276
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,807
Oh, that kind of attitude is not gonna
get you on a Wheaties box, Kev.
277
00:12:18,883 --> 00:12:20,680
We know you didn't go to
Atlantic City, Kevin.
278
00:12:20,752 --> 00:12:21,952
And that means I killed Norman?
279
00:12:22,020 --> 00:12:24,352
No, but it means
that you lied to us.
280
00:12:24,422 --> 00:12:27,755
Yeah, and that kind of puts
a dent in your credibility.
281
00:12:29,027 --> 00:12:31,825
Look, I've got an image
to protect, all right?
282
00:12:32,831 --> 00:12:36,096
Martin, my agent, he was going to
get us some girls, you know, pros?
283
00:12:36,167 --> 00:12:38,135
Why the hell would
you need a pro?
284
00:12:38,203 --> 00:12:40,296
Because they don't
want anything from me.
285
00:12:40,805 --> 00:12:42,739
It's not like they're gonna
accidentally get pregnant
286
00:12:42,807 --> 00:12:44,399
or tell some judge
that I promised
287
00:12:44,475 --> 00:12:46,602
to take care of them the
rest of their lives.
288
00:12:49,447 --> 00:12:51,142
We were at a small hotel.
289
00:12:51,216 --> 00:12:52,581
The Scott House.
290
00:12:52,650 --> 00:12:54,481
Over in the sixties, East Side.
291
00:12:54,552 --> 00:12:56,986
If you wanted to party, wouldn't
it have been easier here?
292
00:12:57,455 --> 00:12:59,787
Call girls have been
known to become stalkers.
293
00:12:59,858 --> 00:13:02,053
I prefer not
to give out my address.
294
00:13:02,327 --> 00:13:04,659
We're going to need
the names of those girls.
295
00:13:05,997 --> 00:13:07,328
I can't.
296
00:13:07,465 --> 00:13:09,092
I mean, Martin
never called them.
297
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:11,140
A photographer
followed us into the hotel.
298
00:13:11,169 --> 00:13:13,763
So we just stayed there, got drunk
and watched the Knicks game.
299
00:13:13,838 --> 00:13:15,772
And then we went home.
300
00:13:16,841 --> 00:13:18,365
Look, talk to Martin.
301
00:13:18,610 --> 00:13:20,737
I swear I don't know
what happened to Norman.
302
00:13:24,816 --> 00:13:27,114
You don't know the headaches
these kids have to live with.
303
00:13:27,185 --> 00:13:30,348
I guess 10, 20 million a
year helps ease the pain.
304
00:13:30,588 --> 00:13:32,317
Ninety percent of them
would do it for free.
305
00:13:32,390 --> 00:13:34,449
But like anything in this world,
306
00:13:34,525 --> 00:13:35,890
there's a price.
307
00:13:35,994 --> 00:13:38,087
Women throwing themselves
at you non-stop,
308
00:13:38,162 --> 00:13:39,652
not because of who you are
309
00:13:39,731 --> 00:13:40,925
but because of what you do.
310
00:13:40,999 --> 00:13:42,296
And what you've got in the bank.
311
00:13:42,367 --> 00:13:43,366
Exactly.
312
00:13:44,668 --> 00:13:46,829
Kev's from a place called Rugby.
313
00:13:46,937 --> 00:13:49,906
There are more people in this
building than in all of Rugby.
314
00:13:49,973 --> 00:13:52,237
But he's got a head
on his shoulders.
315
00:13:52,309 --> 00:13:54,709
He saw what happened
to guys like Shawn Kemp,
316
00:13:54,778 --> 00:13:56,245
kids in every NBA port.
317
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:57,780
BRISCOE: So you keep
his nose clean?
318
00:13:57,848 --> 00:14:00,578
That's right. I mean, he's human.
He has needs.
319
00:14:00,684 --> 00:14:04,450
All right, how about you give us a
rundown of Tuesday night's festivities?
320
00:14:04,521 --> 00:14:05,613
Sure.
321
00:14:05,756 --> 00:14:09,817
Kev picked me up about, I
don't know, 7:30, no 7:45.
322
00:14:09,893 --> 00:14:11,884
BRISCOE: And Norman
was driving the limo?
323
00:14:12,062 --> 00:14:13,222
Davie was also in the car.
324
00:14:13,563 --> 00:14:14,825
That's Kevin's cousin?
325
00:14:14,898 --> 00:14:16,388
David Arkuss, that's right.
326
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:20,100
Pretty good pitcher until his rotator
cuff went on the permanent fritz.
327
00:14:20,237 --> 00:14:22,034
He's finishing college
over at Manhattan.
328
00:14:22,572 --> 00:14:23,572
Good for him.
329
00:14:23,674 --> 00:14:26,794
Right. Why would you care? You just want
to know when we got to The Scott House.
330
00:14:26,843 --> 00:14:29,283
There was a little traffic, so
I'd say we got there about 8:20.
331
00:14:29,346 --> 00:14:30,836
Did you go right up to the room?
332
00:14:30,914 --> 00:14:34,941
Unfortunately, we saw someone Davie thought
he recognized from the Daily News.
333
00:14:35,185 --> 00:14:36,584
So we went to the bar.
334
00:14:36,653 --> 00:14:40,453
He followed us in.
About 9:10, I went upstairs.
335
00:14:40,524 --> 00:14:42,116
Ten minutes later, Kev came up.
336
00:14:42,192 --> 00:14:45,252
About 10 minutes after
that Davie joined us.
337
00:14:45,595 --> 00:14:47,586
We ordered a bottle of
Jack and watched the game.
338
00:14:48,065 --> 00:14:50,966
About 11:45 we decided
to call it a night.
339
00:14:51,034 --> 00:14:53,502
I was dropped off
first, about 12:10.
340
00:14:53,570 --> 00:14:54,832
That was our night.
341
00:14:58,976 --> 00:15:01,843
So Kev told me about Norman.
That's a real kick in the ass.
342
00:15:01,912 --> 00:15:04,472
We wanted to ask you some
questions about Tuesday night.
343
00:15:04,581 --> 00:15:07,948
Sure. We arrived
at the hotel about 8:20.
344
00:15:08,285 --> 00:15:11,015
Then I saw some dude who hung around
batting practice all the time.
345
00:15:11,254 --> 00:15:13,722
A reporter? Photographer,
more likely.
346
00:15:13,857 --> 00:15:16,519
Kev couldn't take a chance so,
then we went into the bar.
347
00:15:16,593 --> 00:15:19,585
Oh sure, no image
problem there, huh?
348
00:15:21,999 --> 00:15:24,399
About 9:10 Martin
went up to the room.
349
00:15:24,868 --> 00:15:28,167
Ten minutes later Kevin pretended
to take a leak and he snuck up.
350
00:15:28,238 --> 00:15:30,934
Ten minutes
after that I went up.
351
00:15:31,008 --> 00:15:33,476
Then we ordered a bottle
and we watched the game.
352
00:15:33,543 --> 00:15:35,636
Sounds like fun.
What were you drinking?
353
00:15:35,746 --> 00:15:36,906
DAVIE: Jack Daniels.
354
00:15:37,247 --> 00:15:39,442
We left the
hotel at 11:45.
355
00:15:40,050 --> 00:15:41,608
Kev dropped Martin off
at home first.
356
00:15:41,685 --> 00:15:44,882
Then he dropped
me off about 12:30.
357
00:15:44,955 --> 00:15:45,955
Then I went to bed.
358
00:15:46,390 --> 00:15:48,654
That's some memory
you've got there, Davie.
359
00:15:51,294 --> 00:15:52,886
You know, back in Rugby,
360
00:15:53,163 --> 00:15:56,621
Kev once found a buck with a
broken leg when he was out hiking.
361
00:15:57,267 --> 00:16:00,566
He carried it on his back to
the vet for over two miles.
362
00:16:01,772 --> 00:16:03,205
He wouldn't hurt anyone.
363
00:16:07,077 --> 00:16:08,635
So I got psych in five.
364
00:16:08,745 --> 00:16:09,745
BRISCOE: Thanks.
365
00:16:14,117 --> 00:16:16,244
Well, they certainly have
their stories straight.
366
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,888
A little too straight,
don't you think?
367
00:16:18,955 --> 00:16:22,948
Come on, last night I
brushed my teeth at 11:47.
368
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,958
Let's go see what's going on
with Seleeby's LUDs.
369
00:16:27,564 --> 00:16:29,555
A buck? You're kidding.
370
00:16:29,633 --> 00:16:31,294
I don't think he meant
the spending kind.
371
00:16:31,435 --> 00:16:33,995
Whatever happened to the
good old cherry tree story?
372
00:16:34,438 --> 00:16:36,406
That's better
than "I told you so."
373
00:16:36,773 --> 00:16:40,004
Okay, when was it you first
showed up at Seleeby's apartment?
374
00:16:40,143 --> 00:16:41,974
Yesterday.
About 5:30.
375
00:16:42,045 --> 00:16:43,637
Spent about 20 minutes, did you?
376
00:16:44,448 --> 00:16:45,676
That's about right.
377
00:16:45,749 --> 00:16:50,812
Well, at 5:57 Seleeby called his
agent, talked for about 10 minutes,
378
00:16:50,954 --> 00:16:54,481
hung up and dialed the cell
phone of someone named Arkuss.
379
00:16:54,591 --> 00:16:57,082
That's Seleeby's cousin,
the memory expert.
380
00:16:57,427 --> 00:17:02,194
And the night of the murder, your
hero called the agent's cell at 8:36.
381
00:17:02,299 --> 00:17:05,791
When he was supposed
to be at the hotel bar.
382
00:17:08,438 --> 00:17:10,770
We happen to be
very discreet here.
383
00:17:10,907 --> 00:17:13,137
Serve drinks to a lot
of big shots, do you?
384
00:17:13,210 --> 00:17:14,768
You see, I'm not
going to answer that.
385
00:17:14,878 --> 00:17:16,971
We're only interested
in one big shot,
386
00:17:17,047 --> 00:17:18,605
so if you don't want
to talk about it here,
387
00:17:18,682 --> 00:17:20,442
we can always drag you
down to the squad room.
388
00:17:20,484 --> 00:17:22,918
After making quite
a scene out in the lobby,
389
00:17:22,986 --> 00:17:24,954
so the boss doesn't miss a word.
390
00:17:25,021 --> 00:17:26,886
Discretely, of course.
391
00:17:27,624 --> 00:17:31,492
Well, of course, the big
cheese might not understand
392
00:17:31,561 --> 00:17:34,758
and you might wind up discretely
pounding the pavement.
393
00:17:36,032 --> 00:17:37,056
What?
394
00:17:37,634 --> 00:17:39,465
Kevin Seleeby,
the baseball player.
395
00:17:39,569 --> 00:17:41,196
Yeah, I know who he is.
What about him?
396
00:17:41,271 --> 00:17:43,671
ED: What time did he get
here Tuesday night?
397
00:17:44,441 --> 00:17:47,137
I don't know, uh,
maybe 8:30.
398
00:17:47,344 --> 00:17:50,609
That's funny because he told us he
didn't get here until almost 10:00.
399
00:17:51,848 --> 00:17:54,544
Oh, now you expect me to change my story.
Very clever.
400
00:17:54,851 --> 00:17:56,375
Well, for cops.
401
00:17:57,787 --> 00:18:00,085
I'm sticking with 8:30,
thank you.
402
00:18:02,526 --> 00:18:04,426
This guy got to everybody.
403
00:18:04,494 --> 00:18:07,588
Or he was telling the truth and somebody
else used the phone in his house.
404
00:18:07,664 --> 00:18:08,664
(CELL PHONE RINGS) Oh!
405
00:18:10,033 --> 00:18:11,033
ED: Yeah.
406
00:18:12,068 --> 00:18:14,536
Excuse me, do you
know Kevin Seleeby?
407
00:18:14,604 --> 00:18:15,628
Who doesn't?
408
00:18:15,705 --> 00:18:18,230
Tuesday night, when he showed
up here with his buddies,
409
00:18:18,308 --> 00:18:20,503
did you happen to get a
good look at his driver?
410
00:18:20,844 --> 00:18:22,641
Why would I look at a cabbie?
411
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,511
Okay, thanks, Loo, later.
412
00:18:25,582 --> 00:18:27,777
That whole tell the truth thing?
Forget about it.
413
00:18:27,851 --> 00:18:29,842
Loo ran all the LUDs
on the cell phones.
414
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,785
9:17, the night
of the murder,
415
00:18:31,855 --> 00:18:34,881
the agent made a phone
call to 911 on his cell,
416
00:18:34,991 --> 00:18:36,515
hung up before he said anything.
417
00:18:36,593 --> 00:18:39,687
I wonder if that had anything to
do with Kevin showing up here
418
00:18:39,763 --> 00:18:42,129
in a cab without Norman.
419
00:18:42,632 --> 00:18:44,725
Tails, I talk to the agent.
420
00:18:46,436 --> 00:18:49,701
I made a mistake.
I meant to dial 411.
421
00:18:49,773 --> 00:18:51,172
ED: From the bar
at the hotel?
422
00:18:51,241 --> 00:18:53,300
That's right.
Check the phone records.
423
00:18:53,376 --> 00:18:54,376
I did.
424
00:18:54,444 --> 00:18:57,004
So you saw I called information
right after the slip-up.
425
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,413
I did. I also saw you didn't
make another phone call
426
00:19:00,483 --> 00:19:02,610
from your cell
until the next day.
427
00:19:02,686 --> 00:19:05,246
We were going to order some food. I
called for the number at Bucci's.
428
00:19:05,322 --> 00:19:07,362
What? Then you got full
from the peanuts at the bar?
429
00:19:07,757 --> 00:19:11,249
Well, I was the only one that was
hungry, so I figured what the hell.
430
00:19:11,428 --> 00:19:14,396
No. We never planned
on going to Atlantic City.
431
00:19:14,663 --> 00:19:16,631
Martin was just going
to get the girls.
432
00:19:16,832 --> 00:19:19,300
And bring them to the hotel?
That's right.
433
00:19:20,236 --> 00:19:23,694
Like I told you before, that
reporter guy ruined our plans.
434
00:19:24,306 --> 00:19:25,773
See, the thing is, Davie.
435
00:19:25,841 --> 00:19:28,969
Last I heard they have
girls in Atlantic City.
436
00:19:29,044 --> 00:19:31,706
Yeah, they also have
scum-sucking reporters.
437
00:19:33,182 --> 00:19:34,672
When you're good, you're good.
438
00:19:34,783 --> 00:19:39,186
I checked. You even called and
made room reservations at the Taj.
439
00:19:39,989 --> 00:19:42,287
Just to throw everybody
off track, right?
440
00:19:43,225 --> 00:19:45,489
I don't know about that.
441
00:19:45,561 --> 00:19:47,358
Martin takes care
of all that stuff.
442
00:19:47,429 --> 00:19:49,556
If there's one thing that
pisses me off to no end
443
00:19:49,632 --> 00:19:51,429
is when the suspect confesses
444
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,559
and then some defense
attorney comes at me
445
00:19:53,636 --> 00:19:55,729
with all this
Fifth Amendment crap.
446
00:19:55,804 --> 00:19:57,362
I didn't hear me confess.
447
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,166
Yet.
448
00:19:59,608 --> 00:20:01,128
I don't know what
you're talking about.
449
00:20:01,143 --> 00:20:03,338
BRISCOE: Oh, right.
You were at the hotel bar.
450
00:20:03,912 --> 00:20:05,573
Until we snuck up to the room.
451
00:20:05,748 --> 00:20:09,115
You and Martin Stanley
and your cousin, right?
452
00:20:09,285 --> 00:20:10,285
That's right.
453
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,684
The thing is, if Kev was
with you at the bar,
454
00:20:14,757 --> 00:20:17,988
how could he call Martin's
cell phone from his house?
455
00:20:20,129 --> 00:20:21,721
Wrong answer, Davie.
456
00:20:21,997 --> 00:20:24,261
You should have said it
was the maid who called.
457
00:20:24,633 --> 00:20:25,691
ED: Bucci's, huh?
458
00:20:25,968 --> 00:20:27,560
Yeah, it's a
three-star restaurant.
459
00:20:27,703 --> 00:20:29,534
They must have one
hell of a veal piccata.
460
00:20:29,805 --> 00:20:31,636
As a matter of fact, they do.
461
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,331
I wouldn't figure a place
like that would deliver.
462
00:20:34,643 --> 00:20:35,701
I'm a good customer.
463
00:20:35,778 --> 00:20:39,976
You must be to get them to deliver
from Twenty-third and First
464
00:20:40,049 --> 00:20:42,347
all the way up to
Sixty-third and Third.
465
00:20:42,418 --> 00:20:43,942
Like I said.
It was moot anyway.
466
00:20:44,019 --> 00:20:45,213
I was the only one
that was hungry.
467
00:20:45,287 --> 00:20:46,345
That's one explanation.
468
00:20:46,422 --> 00:20:48,083
Another one is,
469
00:20:48,157 --> 00:20:51,217
that you saw Norman
with his neck snapped,
470
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:55,855
you freaked out. You dialed
911, Kevin made you hang up.
471
00:20:58,467 --> 00:21:01,368
Now which story sounds
more plausible to you?
472
00:21:02,304 --> 00:21:03,828
I didn't kill anybody.
473
00:21:04,073 --> 00:21:06,598
Well, that's up to
the jury now, Davie.
474
00:21:07,042 --> 00:21:09,943
Lucky for Kev
he's a ballplayer, huh?
475
00:21:10,045 --> 00:21:12,275
Juries love ballplayers.
476
00:21:12,781 --> 00:21:15,181
I mean, you saw
what happened with O.J.
477
00:21:15,351 --> 00:21:17,342
So now it's just you, Davie.
478
00:21:17,553 --> 00:21:19,521
A hick with a bad right arm.
479
00:21:20,389 --> 00:21:23,153
You got the DP in North Dakota?
480
00:21:23,258 --> 00:21:26,091
DP. That doesn't mean
"Designated Player,"
481
00:21:26,228 --> 00:21:28,025
it means Death Penalty.
482
00:21:28,263 --> 00:21:29,924
Because we have it here.
483
00:21:33,402 --> 00:21:35,836
Damn it, I just wanted
to play some blackjack.
484
00:21:39,441 --> 00:21:41,341
Kevin screwed it all up.
485
00:21:43,379 --> 00:21:45,279
He killed Norman Pratt?
486
00:21:48,117 --> 00:21:50,847
Me and Martin just
helped him dump the body.
487
00:21:56,191 --> 00:21:58,751
So, I guess blood
isn't thicker than water.
488
00:21:58,861 --> 00:22:01,830
Well, neither is 10% percent.
Stanley said the same thing.
489
00:22:01,897 --> 00:22:04,092
They got to Seleeby's
and found Norman dead.
490
00:22:04,533 --> 00:22:07,627
And you still want his rookie card?
Arrest him.
491
00:22:16,945 --> 00:22:18,173
Did you find out
who killed Norman?
492
00:22:18,247 --> 00:22:20,306
As a matter of fact, we did.
493
00:22:20,416 --> 00:22:21,747
What the hell's going on?
494
00:22:21,817 --> 00:22:24,615
Two outs, bottom of the ninth
and you just struck out, pal.
495
00:22:24,686 --> 00:22:27,849
Kevin Seleeby, you're under arrest
for the murder of Norman Pratt.
496
00:22:27,956 --> 00:22:29,787
You have the right
to remain silent...
497
00:22:33,128 --> 00:22:35,221
BAILIFF:
"Docket number 39867.
498
00:22:35,297 --> 00:22:39,165
"People v. Kevin Seleeby, Martin
Stanley and David Arkuss.
499
00:22:39,234 --> 00:22:41,327
"Charges are Murder
in the First Degree
500
00:22:41,403 --> 00:22:44,304
"and Conspiracy to Commit
Murder in the First Degree."
501
00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:46,373
Let's talk please.
502
00:22:46,675 --> 00:22:47,699
Not guilty.
503
00:22:47,776 --> 00:22:49,175
Not guilty.
Not guilty.
504
00:22:49,244 --> 00:22:51,678
Ms. Southerlyn? The People
request remand, Your Honor.
505
00:22:51,780 --> 00:22:54,772
And I'm sure you have something to
say on that matter, Mr. Fenwick.
506
00:22:54,850 --> 00:22:58,479
Absolutely, Your Honor. Due to my client's
celebrity, he's hardly a flight risk.
507
00:22:58,554 --> 00:23:00,181
In addition...
Which one's the hotshot?
508
00:23:01,757 --> 00:23:03,349
Kevin Seleeby happens to be...
509
00:23:03,425 --> 00:23:05,689
Indicted for murder,
famous face or not.
510
00:23:05,761 --> 00:23:07,456
Bail is set at a half
million for all three.
511
00:23:09,932 --> 00:23:11,126
Mr. Seleeby,
512
00:23:11,433 --> 00:23:14,095
you should have dove for that
ball against the Sox in '99.
513
00:23:17,639 --> 00:23:19,504
So is this kid guilty?
514
00:23:19,575 --> 00:23:21,042
His friends say he is.
515
00:23:21,109 --> 00:23:22,303
Will they say it in court?
516
00:23:22,377 --> 00:23:26,143
If we drop the charges to accessories
after the fact, no time.
517
00:23:26,215 --> 00:23:29,548
Done. That'll put this Seleeby thing
to rest, no hustle or bustle.
518
00:23:30,385 --> 00:23:32,250
You want me to
deal with Seleeby?
519
00:23:32,654 --> 00:23:33,916
The whole deck.
520
00:23:33,989 --> 00:23:36,270
Oh, I see, if you can hit a
ball you get special treatment?
521
00:23:36,325 --> 00:23:38,520
That's right, Serena.
By the jury.
522
00:23:38,694 --> 00:23:41,629
I'll give you Marcia Clark's phone
number if you want a second opinion.
523
00:23:41,697 --> 00:23:42,697
JACK: How low?
524
00:23:44,032 --> 00:23:45,522
How long are we on motive?
525
00:23:45,634 --> 00:23:48,159
We think the victim was
asking Seleeby for money
526
00:23:48,237 --> 00:23:50,865
to keep his steroid use
out of the papers.
527
00:23:51,306 --> 00:23:54,332
Blackmail's good.
Two witnesses...
528
00:23:54,676 --> 00:23:56,940
Fenwick will grab
Man One and run.
529
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,107
Now, this is all very
generous of you, Jack,
530
00:24:00,182 --> 00:24:01,877
but you've gotta know
I can't accept it.
531
00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:04,817
Actually, Alan, I thought you'd
see Man One as manna from heaven.
532
00:24:04,887 --> 00:24:07,082
FENWICK: Not considering
my client's status.
533
00:24:07,222 --> 00:24:08,587
When will people
get off of O. J?
534
00:24:08,657 --> 00:24:11,182
That verdict was jury
nullification pure and simple.
535
00:24:11,293 --> 00:24:13,420
The Juice never crossed
my mind, Ms. Southerlyn.
536
00:24:13,529 --> 00:24:15,087
I was thinking more
about Ray Lewis,
537
00:24:15,163 --> 00:24:18,564
All Pro linebacker for the Ravens
who was knee-deep in a homicide.
538
00:24:18,634 --> 00:24:21,296
Not only was he acquitted,
he was voted MVP.
539
00:24:21,470 --> 00:24:22,732
We have two witnesses.
540
00:24:22,838 --> 00:24:24,100
FENWICK:
They had about 50.
541
00:24:24,172 --> 00:24:25,764
Do you realize that after
Allen lverson was caught
542
00:24:25,841 --> 00:24:27,502
running around
Philly with a gun,
543
00:24:27,576 --> 00:24:30,443
the sales of his jerseys and
shoes increased ten-fold?
544
00:24:30,679 --> 00:24:33,341
On the other hand Rae Carruth
is in maximum security
545
00:24:33,415 --> 00:24:34,973
for the rest of his life.
546
00:24:35,517 --> 00:24:37,348
JACK: Athletes
are not immune.
547
00:24:37,486 --> 00:24:39,386
FENWICK: I agree.
But you see, Kevin
548
00:24:39,521 --> 00:24:41,511
has one thing
that Carruth didn't have.
549
00:24:41,956 --> 00:24:43,014
You?
550
00:24:43,624 --> 00:24:44,886
That, too.
551
00:24:45,259 --> 00:24:48,353
Kevin here is suffering from
steroid induced psychosis.
552
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:54,156
That's like saying a drunk driver is
not responsible for vehicular homicide
553
00:24:54,235 --> 00:24:55,702
because he was drunk.
554
00:24:55,770 --> 00:24:58,898
That's one argument. I'll
send you my expert's report.
555
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,066
Have your guy spend some time
with Kevin, then we'll talk.
556
00:25:07,748 --> 00:25:08,840
SKODA:
It must be something,
557
00:25:08,983 --> 00:25:11,076
thousands of people
screaming for you.
558
00:25:12,019 --> 00:25:13,509
Or against you.
559
00:25:14,622 --> 00:25:16,317
Yeah.
How does that feel?
560
00:25:16,891 --> 00:25:18,552
You don't hear it.
You focus.
561
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,288
On a ball coming at you at
close to 100 miles an hour?
562
00:25:22,530 --> 00:25:23,792
That's all you see.
563
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:27,565
It's like you're in a tunnel.
You, the pitcher and the ball.
564
00:25:27,802 --> 00:25:30,600
Nothing else is there.
Nothing else exists.
565
00:25:32,306 --> 00:25:34,740
Too bad it can't be like
that outside the ballpark.
566
00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:38,006
I get by.
567
00:25:39,213 --> 00:25:42,808
Actually, you don't, Kevin.
That's why you're here.
568
00:25:44,552 --> 00:25:47,020
The guy got in my face.
569
00:25:56,497 --> 00:25:58,397
You're talking
about Norman Pratt?
570
00:26:00,434 --> 00:26:02,129
Kevin, are you
always this tense?
571
00:26:03,871 --> 00:26:06,601
No! Maybe, I don't know.
572
00:26:10,177 --> 00:26:11,177
Why Norman?
573
00:26:14,181 --> 00:26:17,617
Do you know what it's like
to get to the Show, man?
574
00:26:18,419 --> 00:26:21,217
Do you know how hard
it is to stay there?
575
00:26:21,822 --> 00:26:24,120
Would the world end
if you couldn't? Yes.
576
00:26:25,026 --> 00:26:27,358
You don't know.
My old man, if I didn't...
577
00:26:31,332 --> 00:26:36,599
He used to have to shovel horse
manure on someone else's ranch,
578
00:26:36,671 --> 00:26:38,298
12 hours a day for 40 years.
579
00:26:38,372 --> 00:26:40,465
Now you tell me
what man deserves...
580
00:26:43,477 --> 00:26:45,741
That's his problem,
Kevin. Not yours.
581
00:26:46,914 --> 00:26:48,609
I got to the Show, man,
582
00:26:49,617 --> 00:26:52,518
and he got to put down his shovel
and hold his head up high.
583
00:26:55,623 --> 00:26:58,251
And Norman Pratt was going
to take that all away.
584
00:27:05,566 --> 00:27:08,729
To be accurate, they're called
anabolic- androgenic steroids.
585
00:27:08,803 --> 00:27:11,328
They're synthetic derivatives
of testosterone.
586
00:27:11,405 --> 00:27:12,963
Which hardly
makes you psychotic.
587
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,405
No comment.
588
00:27:15,209 --> 00:27:18,542
Naturally occurring testosterone
triggers male maturation
589
00:27:18,612 --> 00:27:21,012
and helps retain proteins,
which aid in muscle growth.
590
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:24,647
So far, I don't hear
anything about insanity.
591
00:27:24,719 --> 00:27:28,450
Okay, most normal men produce
less than 10 milligrams a day.
592
00:27:28,522 --> 00:27:30,888
Kevin Seleeby was taking
over 10 times that.
593
00:27:30,991 --> 00:27:32,754
And that affects his behavior?
594
00:27:33,094 --> 00:27:35,358
Professional athletes are
aggressive to begin with,
595
00:27:35,429 --> 00:27:37,329
toss a little fuel
on that fire...
596
00:27:37,465 --> 00:27:42,266
He was being blackmailed. He
knew exactly what he was doing.
597
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:44,802
Knowing what you're doing and
not being able to prevent it
598
00:27:44,872 --> 00:27:46,237
are two different things.
599
00:27:46,307 --> 00:27:49,003
There's actually a clinical
term for it, "'roid rage."
600
00:27:49,744 --> 00:27:53,441
And he conveniently told you all
about how he was suffering from it.
601
00:27:54,048 --> 00:27:55,948
I don't think this
kid's faking it, Jack.
602
00:27:56,016 --> 00:28:00,419
Are you saying he was truly
unable to control his actions?
603
00:28:00,988 --> 00:28:03,047
SKODA: Look, there was a
lot of pressure on him.
604
00:28:03,124 --> 00:28:05,354
There's a lot of pressure on me.
605
00:28:05,659 --> 00:28:08,560
You're not injecting yourself
with chemicals twice a day.
606
00:28:09,063 --> 00:28:11,896
Look, I'll testify that
he was legally sane.
607
00:28:11,966 --> 00:28:14,434
But was he what the masses
would consider normal?
608
00:28:14,869 --> 00:28:16,063
Not a chance.
609
00:28:19,306 --> 00:28:23,367
Did you know that far and away the most
common users of steroids are teenagers?
610
00:28:23,844 --> 00:28:25,812
Kids have to get bigger
to get on the team,
611
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,871
to get the scholarship,
to get drafted.
612
00:28:27,948 --> 00:28:29,779
So, the league just
turns a blind eye?
613
00:28:29,850 --> 00:28:31,875
More home runs means
more tickets sold.
614
00:28:32,019 --> 00:28:33,850
Yeah, even if the law is broken?
615
00:28:33,921 --> 00:28:35,946
Special rules
for special talents.
616
00:28:36,423 --> 00:28:39,187
Well, the upside is that
their testicles shrink.
617
00:28:43,597 --> 00:28:46,896
It's Fenwick's expert's report,
written by Dr. Sarah Hoffman.
618
00:28:47,234 --> 00:28:49,065
The kid's got money. Might
as well go with the best.
619
00:28:49,136 --> 00:28:51,001
Let me guess, 100 pages.
620
00:28:53,974 --> 00:28:56,101
Something's wrong here.
This shouldn't...
621
00:28:57,912 --> 00:29:01,871
Somebody from Fenwick's office screwed
up and attached an interoffice memo.
622
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:04,618
Money doesn't always
buy you competence.
623
00:29:05,719 --> 00:29:09,348
"I spoke with Douglas Karell and he
has no intention of testifying."
624
00:29:09,423 --> 00:29:10,481
Who's he?
625
00:29:10,558 --> 00:29:11,758
I don't know, but there's more.
626
00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:13,158
"I believe this will
allow us to pursue
627
00:29:13,227 --> 00:29:15,286
"our original theory
of the case."
628
00:29:16,897 --> 00:29:18,990
Is there an address
for Mr. Karell?
629
00:29:22,670 --> 00:29:23,870
KARELL:
It's about living life,
630
00:29:24,004 --> 00:29:26,666
it's about having fun
in the city, you know?
631
00:29:26,740 --> 00:29:27,968
Out loud and proud.
632
00:29:28,042 --> 00:29:30,237
New York Magazine
for gay people, hmm?
633
00:29:30,411 --> 00:29:33,938
People love to read about who's
seeing whom and who's doing what.
634
00:29:34,381 --> 00:29:36,611
And occasionally we have
dish on celebrities.
635
00:29:36,784 --> 00:29:39,480
As a matter of fact, that's
exactly why I'm here, Mr. Karell.
636
00:29:39,553 --> 00:29:41,748
Sorry. A.D.A.'s
don't rate.
637
00:29:44,258 --> 00:29:46,453
I'm here about Kevin Seleeby.
638
00:29:48,863 --> 00:29:50,228
Am I supposed to know him?
639
00:29:50,297 --> 00:29:51,787
The baseball player?
640
00:29:51,966 --> 00:29:55,993
Oh, I'm sorry. Baseball bores me.
Hoops on the other hand...
641
00:29:56,170 --> 00:29:58,331
Kevin's on trial for murder.
642
00:30:00,307 --> 00:30:01,740
That's too bad.
643
00:30:01,842 --> 00:30:04,367
Your name came up in the
course of our investigation.
644
00:30:05,813 --> 00:30:07,041
My name?
645
00:30:07,248 --> 00:30:08,943
Yeah, it seems
that Seleeby's counsel
646
00:30:09,083 --> 00:30:11,016
would like to keep you
out of the courtroom.
647
00:30:11,484 --> 00:30:15,443
You know what, it must be another Karell.
There's a Marty over on...
648
00:30:15,555 --> 00:30:17,546
Why don't you stop
playing games with me?
649
00:30:17,624 --> 00:30:21,025
Because I can get detectives
here in less than 15 minutes.
650
00:30:21,094 --> 00:30:22,493
You wanna know what I think?
651
00:30:22,595 --> 00:30:25,621
I think you and Norman Pratt
were blackmailing Kevin Seleeby.
652
00:30:25,698 --> 00:30:27,495
I think...
No, no, no.
653
00:30:29,402 --> 00:30:33,031
I would never do anything to hurt
Kevin or his precious little career.
654
00:30:37,744 --> 00:30:40,212
The publisher of the magazine
was his lover, Jack.
655
00:30:40,413 --> 00:30:41,539
Was?
656
00:30:41,614 --> 00:30:43,673
They had different views
on freedom of expression.
657
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:46,241
Anyway, back when they were closer,
they were in Norman's limo.
658
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:48,150
He recognized
Mr. Karell.
659
00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:50,086
And started blackmailing
Seleeby.
660
00:30:50,256 --> 00:30:51,280
Jack.
661
00:30:51,991 --> 00:30:52,991
I'm glad I found you.
662
00:30:53,059 --> 00:30:54,959
Change your mind
on that deal, did you?
663
00:30:55,028 --> 00:30:58,691
Hardly. The expert report I sent you,
there might have been a memo attached.
664
00:30:59,832 --> 00:31:01,493
A very interesting one.
665
00:31:01,768 --> 00:31:02,768
You read it?
666
00:31:03,069 --> 00:31:04,297
And we talked
to Mr. Karell.
667
00:31:04,370 --> 00:31:05,928
Shame on you.
668
00:31:06,005 --> 00:31:07,734
I should say the
same to you, Alan.
669
00:31:07,807 --> 00:31:11,265
Well, I didn't read your confidential
work product, Jack. That's a no-no.
670
00:31:11,344 --> 00:31:13,812
You use it, I don't know how
many Canons it violates.
671
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,672
Lucky for you,
there isn't a judge
672
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:18,512
in this state who will let
you make that mistake.
673
00:31:25,391 --> 00:31:26,949
It's a clear-cut
situation, Judge.
674
00:31:27,026 --> 00:31:29,688
If Mr. McCoy would just go
back to the notes he took
675
00:31:29,762 --> 00:31:33,289
in Evidence, he'll see that
attorney work-product is sacred.
676
00:31:33,833 --> 00:31:35,300
Then why did you send it to me?
677
00:31:35,368 --> 00:31:37,495
If you don't know
already, Mr. McCoy,
678
00:31:37,603 --> 00:31:39,434
I'm not big on sarcasm.
679
00:31:39,505 --> 00:31:41,336
As the Supreme Court
said in Hickman,
680
00:31:41,407 --> 00:31:42,931
the work-product
doctrine is critical
681
00:31:43,009 --> 00:31:46,342
to a lawyer's ability to
render professional services.
682
00:31:46,412 --> 00:31:48,380
JACK: Practically, the
rule protects one lawyer
683
00:31:48,481 --> 00:31:52,247
from intruding upon opposing
counsel's legal strategizing.
684
00:31:52,318 --> 00:31:54,309
The People did not
intrude in this case.
685
00:31:54,387 --> 00:31:57,481
Mr. Fenwick delivered
his strategy by messenger.
686
00:31:57,557 --> 00:31:58,785
By attorney error.
687
00:31:58,858 --> 00:32:02,385
My client shouldn't suffer because
of my associate's negligence.
688
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:03,952
He's right, Mr. McCoy.
689
00:32:04,063 --> 00:32:06,395
The Second Circuit held that
the rule protects against
690
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:11,995
disclosure of mental impressions,
conclusions, opinions, legal theories only.
691
00:32:12,071 --> 00:32:13,436
Not facts.
692
00:32:13,506 --> 00:32:16,441
The People do not plan on
using counsel's theories,
693
00:32:16,509 --> 00:32:18,670
only the fact that
Mr. Karell exists.
694
00:32:19,078 --> 00:32:21,706
Nice, Jack. My
brother-in-law's a barber.
695
00:32:21,781 --> 00:32:24,944
Tomorrow, I'll send you a whole
bunch of hairs to split.
696
00:32:25,018 --> 00:32:29,250
My judicial sarcasm rule applies to
both sides of the aisle, Mr. Fenwick.
697
00:32:29,422 --> 00:32:30,616
I apologize, Your Honor.
698
00:32:30,690 --> 00:32:33,784
But the memo clearly expresses
my associate's opinion
699
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:36,693
of how to try
the case, to wit...
700
00:32:36,829 --> 00:32:41,061
"In my opinion it is crucial to keep
Douglas Karell from testifying."
701
00:32:41,234 --> 00:32:42,963
Game, Set, Match.
702
00:32:43,569 --> 00:32:47,699
Any reference to Mr. Karell and l or his
particular relationship to the defendant
703
00:32:47,807 --> 00:32:49,707
is inadmissible,
Mr. McCoy.
704
00:32:56,482 --> 00:32:59,713
Fenwick should have known better than to
put something like that down on paper.
705
00:32:59,786 --> 00:33:01,913
It wasn't Fenwick.
It was his associate.
706
00:33:01,988 --> 00:33:04,684
And if that one ever knocks
on our door begging for work,
707
00:33:04,757 --> 00:33:06,622
politely escort him
to the elevator.
708
00:33:06,726 --> 00:33:10,127
This has to be a first. A lawyer's
negligence benefiting his case.
709
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:11,489
I don't see why.
710
00:33:11,564 --> 00:33:15,000
We had a case before we knew Seleeby
was gay. We still have a case now.
711
00:33:16,035 --> 00:33:18,333
Since when do we need a motive?
712
00:33:24,877 --> 00:33:27,846
Me and Martin were at the Scott
House over on the East Side.
713
00:33:28,147 --> 00:33:30,877
Kev was supposed to
pick us up around 7:00.
714
00:33:31,217 --> 00:33:33,276
JACK: That would
be in his limo?
715
00:33:33,453 --> 00:33:36,354
That's right. To take
us to Atlantic City.
716
00:33:36,422 --> 00:33:38,515
How did your plans change?
717
00:33:38,825 --> 00:33:40,258
Kev never showed.
718
00:33:40,326 --> 00:33:41,326
Why not?
719
00:33:41,761 --> 00:33:43,558
He called Martin on his cell.
720
00:33:44,163 --> 00:33:45,494
He was freaked.
721
00:33:46,466 --> 00:33:49,162
Martin couldn't calm him down.
So he gave the phone to me.
722
00:33:49,969 --> 00:33:51,937
I've known Kevin my whole life,
723
00:33:52,038 --> 00:33:55,030
but I never heard him like that.
I mean, it scared me.
724
00:33:55,775 --> 00:33:57,333
JACK:
What did you do?
725
00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:59,678
We took a cab
down to Kev's place.
726
00:33:59,745 --> 00:34:02,714
I have a key, so we just
went in, and Kev...
727
00:34:04,317 --> 00:34:06,945
He was just so jacked
up he could hardly talk.
728
00:34:08,221 --> 00:34:10,519
What else did you see,
Mr. Arkuss?
729
00:34:10,890 --> 00:34:12,551
I didn't know what to do so...
730
00:34:12,625 --> 00:34:14,957
I went to get Kev
a glass of water.
731
00:34:16,596 --> 00:34:18,530
In the kitchen
there was the driver.
732
00:34:19,499 --> 00:34:21,831
JACK: You're referring
to Norman Pratt.
733
00:34:21,901 --> 00:34:22,901
That's right.
734
00:34:24,303 --> 00:34:25,964
He was slumped over the table.
735
00:34:27,473 --> 00:34:28,735
I could tell he was dead.
736
00:34:29,742 --> 00:34:31,209
Did you call the police?
737
00:34:31,744 --> 00:34:33,712
Martin started to.
But I stopped him.
738
00:34:33,779 --> 00:34:34,779
Why?
739
00:34:35,648 --> 00:34:36,945
Kev's my cousin.
740
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:42,520
I know what
we did was wrong, but...
741
00:34:45,558 --> 00:34:48,220
When Kev finally calmed down,
742
00:34:49,262 --> 00:34:51,560
we loaded the body into the
limo and dumped it in the park.
743
00:34:53,299 --> 00:34:56,996
And then we left the limo over on the
West Side and went to the hotel.
744
00:34:57,370 --> 00:34:58,769
JACK: To establish
an alibi?
745
00:34:59,238 --> 00:35:00,238
That's right.
746
00:35:04,410 --> 00:35:08,244
Did your cousin tell you what
happened in the kitchen?
747
00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:11,550
Not really.
748
00:35:11,684 --> 00:35:14,778
So he didn't tell you why
he killed Mr. Pratt?
749
00:35:16,522 --> 00:35:17,522
No.
750
00:35:19,926 --> 00:35:21,587
No more questions.
751
00:35:23,529 --> 00:35:26,828
Yes, it's possible that when
placed in a threatening situation
752
00:35:26,899 --> 00:35:30,835
an abuser of anabolic steroids can
become exceptionally violent.
753
00:35:30,903 --> 00:35:33,428
Would that be a psychotic
reaction, Doctor?
754
00:35:33,639 --> 00:35:34,867
Psychosis? No.
755
00:35:34,941 --> 00:35:37,535
Psychotic disorders are
characterized by an extreme
756
00:35:37,610 --> 00:35:40,669
impairment of a person's
ability to understand reality.
757
00:35:40,812 --> 00:35:44,270
Typical symptoms are
hallucinations and l or delusions.
758
00:35:44,883 --> 00:35:47,113
Did Mr. Seleeby
tell you, for example,
759
00:35:47,185 --> 00:35:50,712
that he heard voices telling
him to kill Norman Pratt?
760
00:35:51,089 --> 00:35:53,523
No. He may have had
an overly violent reaction
761
00:35:53,592 --> 00:35:57,255
because of the abundance of
synthetic chemicals in his body,
762
00:35:57,329 --> 00:35:59,763
but in the end, he
merely lost his temper.
763
00:36:00,765 --> 00:36:04,963
So, in your analysis, there
was an actual inciting event
764
00:36:05,036 --> 00:36:07,596
as opposed to an imaginary one.
765
00:36:07,872 --> 00:36:08,872
That's correct.
766
00:36:09,140 --> 00:36:10,402
Thank you, Doctor.
767
00:36:12,143 --> 00:36:16,102
Did my client tell you what
that inciting event was?
768
00:36:16,414 --> 00:36:17,813
Not specifically, no.
769
00:36:18,416 --> 00:36:19,713
But you did ask him, didn't you?
770
00:36:20,252 --> 00:36:22,186
Of course, but he
refused to answer.
771
00:36:22,254 --> 00:36:25,189
Isn't it true that a mark
of a psychotic disorder
772
00:36:25,290 --> 00:36:29,158
is an incorrect emotional
response to ordinary situations?
773
00:36:29,394 --> 00:36:33,125
Yes. But inappropriate responses
are not necessarily psychotic.
774
00:36:33,465 --> 00:36:36,696
Killing for no motive
whatsoever, Doctor,
775
00:36:36,901 --> 00:36:38,732
would you consider
that psychotic?
776
00:36:39,671 --> 00:36:41,400
In certain cases.
777
00:36:43,141 --> 00:36:44,540
FENWICK:
No more questions.
778
00:36:46,978 --> 00:36:48,605
The People call Roger Ellery.
779
00:36:49,114 --> 00:36:50,547
Objection, Your Honor.
780
00:36:50,615 --> 00:36:51,615
JACK:
On what grounds?
781
00:36:51,683 --> 00:36:53,913
I get to ask that
question, Mr. McCoy.
782
00:36:54,786 --> 00:36:55,912
Chambers, Your Honor?
783
00:36:57,555 --> 00:36:58,954
Ten minute recess.
784
00:37:02,427 --> 00:37:05,487
Was Dr. Ellery on the People's
witness list or not, Mr. McCoy?
785
00:37:05,563 --> 00:37:06,791
Front and center, Your Honor.
786
00:37:06,865 --> 00:37:09,129
But that's not the issue.
What is then?
787
00:37:09,267 --> 00:37:11,565
His testimony is inadmissible.
788
00:37:11,770 --> 00:37:12,896
JUDGE:
Who the hell is he?
789
00:37:12,971 --> 00:37:15,940
Dr. Ellery sold steroids
to Norman Pratt,
790
00:37:16,007 --> 00:37:17,907
who sold them to Kevin Seleeby.
791
00:37:17,976 --> 00:37:20,467
You better not be wasting
my time here, Mr. Fenwick.
792
00:37:20,545 --> 00:37:22,012
FENWICK:
I wouldn't think of it.
793
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,574
Since an element of our defense is that Mr.
Seleeby abused steroids,
794
00:37:26,651 --> 00:37:29,415
it would be redundant
to offer testimony
795
00:37:29,487 --> 00:37:31,455
that he actually bought
them from someone.
796
00:37:31,523 --> 00:37:33,616
Redundant, yes.
Inadmissible, no.
797
00:37:33,692 --> 00:37:36,058
Come on, Jack. We both know
what you're doing here.
798
00:37:36,628 --> 00:37:38,823
Perhaps one of you
would explain it to me?
799
00:37:38,897 --> 00:37:43,459
Gladly. In order to counter our
defense of steroid induced psychosis
800
00:37:43,902 --> 00:37:46,336
Mr. McCoy is planning
to offer evidence of motive.
801
00:37:46,404 --> 00:37:48,372
And it's a very
good plan, Mr. Fenwick.
802
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,171
Yes, it would be if the prosecution
had some reasonable basis in fact
803
00:37:52,243 --> 00:37:53,335
for offering it.
804
00:37:53,411 --> 00:37:56,107
Clearly, Mr. McCoy
is planning to argue
805
00:37:56,214 --> 00:37:59,149
that Mr. Pratt was
blackmailing my client.
806
00:37:59,217 --> 00:38:00,217
He was.
807
00:38:00,285 --> 00:38:04,449
That's right, about his being
gay, not about his steroid use.
808
00:38:04,522 --> 00:38:07,218
Ergo, offering evidence
to the latter would in effect
809
00:38:07,292 --> 00:38:10,455
be arguing something that Mr.
McCoy knows is false.
810
00:38:10,528 --> 00:38:13,361
And we all know that would be
tantamount to suborning perjury.
811
00:38:13,431 --> 00:38:16,594
I can present facts and the jury
can draw their own conclusions.
812
00:38:16,668 --> 00:38:20,297
Rules may be there to be broken, Mr.
McCoy, but not in my courtroom.
813
00:38:20,638 --> 00:38:23,732
Defense's objection to Mr.
Ellery's testimony is sustained.
814
00:38:29,681 --> 00:38:30,921
I think we split on the experts.
815
00:38:30,949 --> 00:38:33,179
Yeah, well, with no motive,
my money's on the jury's love
816
00:38:33,385 --> 00:38:35,148
for apple pie, Mom and baseball.
817
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,620
We have two witnesses
who said he did it.
818
00:38:37,689 --> 00:38:40,180
For no reason at all. Which
means he must be legally nuts.
819
00:38:40,258 --> 00:38:42,818
Let's face it, Jack, Seleeby's
not going to go to prison.
820
00:38:43,395 --> 00:38:45,522
I did what I thought was
necessary to put him there.
821
00:38:45,597 --> 00:38:47,895
Which also includes
arguing a false motive.
822
00:38:48,767 --> 00:38:52,828
Implying is not arguing. And it
certainly isn't subornation of perjury.
823
00:38:52,904 --> 00:38:55,498
Well, it's not exactly
ethical either.
824
00:38:55,573 --> 00:38:58,167
There are rules, Jack. You were
knowingly going to break them.
825
00:38:58,243 --> 00:39:00,541
Look, I think that Seleeby should
be convicted as much as you.
826
00:39:00,612 --> 00:39:02,807
But I don't think we have the
right to pick and choose
827
00:39:02,947 --> 00:39:06,246
which laws we're gonna follow and
which ones we're gonna ignore.
828
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:17,384
Rugby, North Dakota.
829
00:39:20,098 --> 00:39:22,999
I'll bet most of you can't
pick that out on a map.
830
00:39:23,802 --> 00:39:26,362
But that's where Kevin
Seleeby was born and raised,
831
00:39:26,671 --> 00:39:29,162
and most probably
would have lived and died,
832
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,674
if not for his special talent.
833
00:39:33,144 --> 00:39:37,240
Unfortunately, in the universe
that was Kevin's destiny,
834
00:39:37,782 --> 00:39:39,647
talent wasn't enough.
835
00:39:40,084 --> 00:39:43,110
Twenty-five players on a team.
Thirty Major League teams.
836
00:39:43,188 --> 00:39:46,646
That's 750 men
in the entire world.
837
00:39:47,659 --> 00:39:53,063
Kevin had to be bigger, he had to
be stronger, he had to be quicker.
838
00:39:54,299 --> 00:39:57,757
He heard whispers around the
clubhouse of a magic potion,
839
00:39:57,836 --> 00:40:03,775
a potion that would make him the best
ballplayer he could possibly be,
840
00:40:05,009 --> 00:40:09,173
that would keep him from shoveling horse
manure like his old man back home.
841
00:40:10,648 --> 00:40:12,172
So he took the potion.
842
00:40:12,517 --> 00:40:16,886
And he became bigger, and he became
stronger, and became quicker.
843
00:40:17,388 --> 00:40:19,754
And he also became sick.
844
00:40:20,058 --> 00:40:21,538
I'm not talking about
the kind of sick
845
00:40:21,559 --> 00:40:23,857
that would put him
on the Disabled List.
846
00:40:24,996 --> 00:40:30,400
I'm talking about a mental disease
that would cause him to kill a friend
847
00:40:31,669 --> 00:40:33,500
for no reason whatsoever.
848
00:40:36,841 --> 00:40:39,810
Luckily, in this country we don't
put men like that in prison.
849
00:40:52,957 --> 00:40:56,415
Let's be clear
that just because we
850
00:40:56,494 --> 00:41:01,056
couldn't state with certainty
in this courtroom here today
851
00:41:01,766 --> 00:41:07,362
just what Mr. Seleeby's motive was, it
doesn't mean that he didn't have one.
852
00:41:08,171 --> 00:41:12,232
And just because the Defense Counsel has
presented you with a touching story,
853
00:41:12,309 --> 00:41:14,777
it doesn't mean that
it's the whole story.
854
00:41:14,845 --> 00:41:21,580
Mr. Fenwick omitted the part about his
client admitting to killing Norman Pratt.
855
00:41:21,952 --> 00:41:25,752
He left out the part about his
client enlisting his friends
856
00:41:25,822 --> 00:41:27,813
to help him cover up the crime.
857
00:41:27,891 --> 00:41:32,021
He omitted the part
about his client
858
00:41:32,563 --> 00:41:37,557
trying to evade the
consequences of his act.
859
00:41:40,604 --> 00:41:43,004
Just in case anyone
has forgotten,
860
00:41:43,607 --> 00:41:47,873
taking steroids is illegal.
861
00:41:49,980 --> 00:41:51,607
It's cheating.
862
00:41:53,850 --> 00:41:55,818
Kevin Seleeby didn't care.
863
00:41:59,723 --> 00:42:00,883
Why would he?
864
00:42:01,692 --> 00:42:03,023
After all,
865
00:42:03,226 --> 00:42:07,356
it isn't really cheating
if you don't get caught.
866
00:42:08,298 --> 00:42:10,562
But this time he did get caught.
867
00:42:10,701 --> 00:42:13,602
He cheated at
his chosen profession.
868
00:42:14,438 --> 00:42:16,998
He cheated at life.
869
00:42:17,474 --> 00:42:20,466
And now he's trying to
cheat the justice system.
870
00:42:21,111 --> 00:42:23,170
But you have to ask yourselves.
871
00:42:23,513 --> 00:42:27,609
Is it really justice if
it's obtained fraudulently?
872
00:42:32,856 --> 00:42:37,156
Can cheating become
its own defense for murder?
873
00:42:57,914 --> 00:42:59,176
Has the jury reached a verdict?
874
00:42:59,650 --> 00:43:00,912
We have, Your Honor.
875
00:43:01,318 --> 00:43:04,515
JUDGE: On the sole count of the
indictment, Murder in the First Degree.
876
00:43:04,655 --> 00:43:05,917
How do you find?
877
00:43:06,323 --> 00:43:08,848
We find the defendant,
Kevin Seleeby, guilty.
878
00:43:09,993 --> 00:43:12,518
JUDGE: With the defendant
remanded, this case is adjourned
879
00:43:12,596 --> 00:43:14,860
for three weeks while
sentencing is decided.
880
00:43:15,065 --> 00:43:16,065
(BANGS GAVEL)
881
00:43:21,938 --> 00:43:24,532
So the rumor is
Fenwick's going to appeal.
882
00:43:24,775 --> 00:43:27,767
He's claiming the jury convicted
against the weight of the evidence.
883
00:43:27,844 --> 00:43:30,506
Well, if he manages to get a
retrial, I'll bet he changes gears
884
00:43:30,580 --> 00:43:32,340
and argues that Seleeby
was being blackmailed
885
00:43:32,382 --> 00:43:34,782
about his sexual preference.
886
00:43:34,851 --> 00:43:35,875
Not a chance.
887
00:43:35,952 --> 00:43:39,149
Why? Because being a cheater is
more sympathetic than being gay?
888
00:43:41,091 --> 00:43:43,719
I can see you've never
been in a pro locker room.
889
00:43:47,798 --> 00:43:49,595
Hell of a closing, Jack.
890
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,300
I've got nothing
to apologize for.
891
00:43:52,369 --> 00:43:59,270
That's right, special rules
for special talents.
