1
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:07,237
In the criminal
justice system,
2
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:08,601
the people are represented
3
00:00:08,626 --> 00:00:11,086
by two separate
yet equally important groups,
4
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:13,050
the police who investigate crime
5
00:00:13,140 --> 00:00:15,828
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
6
00:00:15,941 --> 00:00:17,691
These are their stories.
7
00:00:19,060 --> 00:00:22,020
No, no. Party was great.
8
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:23,882
Epic, really.
9
00:00:23,907 --> 00:00:26,197
I just had to be up early
for work.
10
00:00:27,796 --> 00:00:29,426
I'll call you back.
11
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:30,830
Hey, bro.
12
00:00:32,870 --> 00:00:35,090
Hey.
13
00:00:35,090 --> 00:00:37,164
What are you doing?
14
00:00:37,335 --> 00:00:38,715
Why don't you come back
from over there?
15
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:40,593
Let's... let's talk
for a minute, huh?
16
00:00:40,618 --> 00:00:43,179
Leave me alone.
17
00:00:43,229 --> 00:00:45,029
I can't walk away
if I think somebody needs help.
18
00:00:45,054 --> 00:00:46,398
So why don't you humor me, huh?
19
00:00:46,513 --> 00:00:47,713
What's your name?
20
00:00:50,270 --> 00:00:53,020
Bill.
21
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,190
Bill Johnson.
22
00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:56,281
OK, Bill.
23
00:00:56,429 --> 00:00:58,639
I'm not worth it.
24
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:00,900
A freaking failure,
that's what I am.
25
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:04,296
- No.
- Don't waste your time.
26
00:01:04,371 --> 00:01:07,541
I got all the time
in the world, Bill.
27
00:01:07,566 --> 00:01:10,356
We both do.
28
00:01:10,425 --> 00:01:12,345
Now, why do you think
you're a failure, huh?
29
00:01:14,692 --> 00:01:16,312
Look, leave me alone.
30
00:01:18,974 --> 00:01:20,398
Somebody make you that bracelet?
31
00:01:20,423 --> 00:01:23,473
You got kids?
32
00:01:23,690 --> 00:01:27,179
I have a son.
33
00:01:27,204 --> 00:01:29,584
He's all I got.
34
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:32,710
I'm all he's got.
35
00:01:32,735 --> 00:01:33,921
Crap luck for him.
36
00:01:33,946 --> 00:01:36,326
No, no, no, no.
Hey, don't say that.
37
00:01:36,443 --> 00:01:38,943
He needs you
to be there for him.
38
00:01:39,006 --> 00:01:40,523
Trust me, I know.
39
00:01:40,589 --> 00:01:43,339
I was raised by a single dad.
40
00:01:43,364 --> 00:01:45,843
That man was my hero.
41
00:01:45,868 --> 00:01:49,031
Even if he didn't know it.
42
00:01:49,247 --> 00:01:52,164
He used to talk about
tough times.
43
00:01:52,909 --> 00:01:55,281
Times I'd have to push through.
44
00:01:55,661 --> 00:01:59,101
We all have days like this,
Bill.
45
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:00,632
So now what
I'm gonna ask you to do
46
00:02:00,657 --> 00:02:02,577
is give me your hand,
47
00:02:02,602 --> 00:02:05,482
and you and I can
get through this one together.
48
00:02:07,992 --> 00:02:09,792
For your son.
49
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:18,390
Please.
50
00:02:20,006 --> 00:02:22,023
OK.
51
00:02:22,203 --> 00:02:24,250
There you go. Come on.
52
00:02:24,250 --> 00:02:25,609
All right, OK.
53
00:02:25,702 --> 00:02:27,542
All right. There we go.
54
00:02:27,651 --> 00:02:28,945
All right.
55
00:02:28,970 --> 00:02:29,875
Good man.
56
00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:31,660
Oh.
57
00:02:36,789 --> 00:02:38,640
That's good. All right.
58
00:02:38,762 --> 00:02:40,892
I'm gonna call somebody to get
you some help, all right?
59
00:02:40,917 --> 00:02:41,929
No.
60
00:02:42,500 --> 00:02:43,790
I have to get home.
61
00:02:43,790 --> 00:02:45,880
I just want to make sure
you're OK.
62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,062
Please.
63
00:02:47,087 --> 00:02:49,921
I'm OK.
64
00:02:49,959 --> 00:02:52,289
Are you sure?
65
00:02:52,424 --> 00:02:55,265
Yeah.
66
00:02:55,290 --> 00:02:56,304
I wasn't gonna jump.
67
00:02:56,329 --> 00:02:58,829
I'm just...
68
00:02:58,854 --> 00:03:01,357
having a really
69
00:03:01,382 --> 00:03:02,632
rough time.
70
00:03:02,968 --> 00:03:05,296
OK, Listen,
71
00:03:05,758 --> 00:03:07,992
if you're ever
72
00:03:08,017 --> 00:03:10,817
having a rough time
like that again,
73
00:03:10,842 --> 00:03:14,242
you give me a call
instead of that.
74
00:03:14,453 --> 00:03:15,453
You're a cop?
75
00:03:15,478 --> 00:03:17,738
I am.
76
00:03:17,830 --> 00:03:20,370
If you need help,
I can make some calls.
77
00:03:20,395 --> 00:03:21,855
That's what I'm here for.
78
00:03:25,141 --> 00:03:27,734
Thanks.
79
00:03:27,998 --> 00:03:29,708
I appreciate you.
80
00:03:32,353 --> 00:03:33,433
Get home safe.
81
00:03:33,458 --> 00:03:35,128
Yeah.
82
00:03:43,668 --> 00:03:45,075
Hey, partner.
83
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:46,350
Hey.
84
00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:48,100
Got a little extra
beauty rest this morning?
85
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:49,270
I wish.
86
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:51,310
I, um,
87
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:54,650
ran into a jumper
on the way here.
88
00:03:54,781 --> 00:03:56,015
You mean like a jumper jumper?
89
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,630
Like a jumper jumper.
90
00:03:57,655 --> 00:03:59,365
Whoa.
91
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:01,148
How did that go?
You talk him down?
92
00:04:01,210 --> 00:04:02,827
Yeah.
93
00:04:02,860 --> 00:04:04,820
This guy was really struggling.
94
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,009
I wasn't sure which way
it was gonna play out.
95
00:04:07,034 --> 00:04:08,154
How'd you do it?
96
00:04:08,450 --> 00:04:11,046
Just tried to connect.
97
00:04:11,376 --> 00:04:12,836
How you doing? You OK?
98
00:04:14,624 --> 00:04:17,085
I need you both to head over
to Mercy General right away.
99
00:04:17,161 --> 00:04:18,749
- Why, what's up?
- Active shooter.
100
00:04:18,774 --> 00:04:20,824
- At the hospital?
- Emergency room.
101
00:04:20,916 --> 00:04:22,206
Mobile command center
is on its way.
102
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:24,140
I'll see you over there.
103
00:04:24,165 --> 00:04:26,665
Out of the frying pan,
into the inferno.
104
00:04:26,690 --> 00:04:27,458
Fire.
105
00:04:27,598 --> 00:04:29,218
Out of the frying pan,
into the fire.
106
00:04:29,524 --> 00:04:31,824
Either way,
this day just got worse.
107
00:05:17,250 --> 00:05:18,380
What do we got?
108
00:05:18,380 --> 00:05:19,960
Witnesses say
the shooter fled on foot.
109
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,300
Sergeant ordered
a level one mobilization.
110
00:05:22,406 --> 00:05:24,625
All available units are out
covering a 10-block radius.
111
00:05:24,681 --> 00:05:26,250
- How many victims?
- One dead.
112
00:05:26,275 --> 00:05:27,605
Over here, a doctor,
113
00:05:27,651 --> 00:05:29,991
Bryan Jeffers, age 45.
114
00:05:32,528 --> 00:05:33,608
Ooh.
115
00:05:33,741 --> 00:05:35,371
Took one to the chest, huh?
116
00:05:35,396 --> 00:05:36,251
And one to the back.
117
00:05:36,276 --> 00:05:37,776
Somebody wanted him dead.
118
00:05:37,801 --> 00:05:39,551
- Any other casualties?
- Nurse.
119
00:05:39,576 --> 00:05:41,196
She's in surgery.
Shot in the gut.
120
00:05:41,221 --> 00:05:42,345
Hasn't given a statement yet.
121
00:05:42,370 --> 00:05:43,509
How many shots in total?
122
00:05:43,589 --> 00:05:45,579
We found four casings,
all from a .380.
123
00:05:45,604 --> 00:05:46,408
Any video?
124
00:05:46,444 --> 00:05:48,087
Hospital security said
they can't release the footage
125
00:05:48,112 --> 00:05:50,152
without the OK
from their legal department.
126
00:05:50,177 --> 00:05:51,467
Privacy laws or something.
127
00:05:51,631 --> 00:05:52,971
Well, mobile command's
pulling footage
128
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:53,704
from the street cams.
129
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:54,819
Dixon can check in with them.
130
00:05:55,015 --> 00:05:55,970
Yeah.
131
00:05:56,226 --> 00:05:57,970
Anybody get a look
at the shooter?
132
00:05:57,995 --> 00:05:59,295
He was wearing a mask
and hoodie.
133
00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:01,800
Best witness
is the admitting nurse.
134
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,350
Thank you.
135
00:06:05,570 --> 00:06:08,280
The guy just walked right in,
136
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:10,620
went right past me.
137
00:06:10,822 --> 00:06:13,000
I tried to stop him until...
138
00:06:13,220 --> 00:06:14,620
until I saw he had the gun.
139
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:15,462
What did he look like?
140
00:06:15,487 --> 00:06:20,567
Maybe 5'8 ", 5'9",
141
00:06:20,710 --> 00:06:22,329
Black, wearing a dark hoodie
142
00:06:22,354 --> 00:06:23,984
and a surgical mask.
143
00:06:24,064 --> 00:06:26,079
Did it seem to you like
he was targeting anyone?
144
00:06:26,104 --> 00:06:28,644
I heard him yelling
at Dr. Jeffers.
145
00:06:28,669 --> 00:06:29,999
Did it seemed like
he knew Jeffers?
146
00:06:30,024 --> 00:06:32,603
Like, he... he actually
used his name?
147
00:06:32,628 --> 00:06:34,088
It sounded personal.
148
00:06:34,290 --> 00:06:37,033
Like... like he had
some kind of beef with him.
149
00:06:37,050 --> 00:06:38,840
- Do you remember what he said?
- No.
150
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:40,300
I-I just got on the floor.
151
00:06:40,300 --> 00:06:42,220
I was scared. We all were.
152
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:43,640
- Of course.
- What else was...
153
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:44,844
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, ma'am.
- Ma'am, no. stop.
154
00:06:44,869 --> 00:06:45,751
- Let me through!
- Hey, Doctor.
155
00:06:45,776 --> 00:06:48,236
This is a restricted area.
Doctor!
156
00:06:48,352 --> 00:06:49,402
Bryan!
157
00:06:51,020 --> 00:06:52,681
That's Dr. Jeffers' wife.
158
00:06:52,947 --> 00:06:54,407
Bryan!
159
00:06:57,877 --> 00:07:00,757
Keep the streets blocked off
and divert all patients.
160
00:07:00,820 --> 00:07:02,740
No one in or out of the area.
161
00:07:02,740 --> 00:07:05,990
As far as we know,
this shooter is still armed.
162
00:07:05,990 --> 00:07:10,978
We think the shooter may have
been targeting your husband.
163
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:13,915
Do you have any idea
who might have done this?
164
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,550
Patient or colleague maybe?
165
00:07:16,550 --> 00:07:19,050
Last night,
166
00:07:19,050 --> 00:07:20,800
Bryan said he had a run-in
167
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,130
with a new security guard.
168
00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:24,510
Security guard?
What kind of run-in?
169
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:26,470
Caught the guy stealing pills.
170
00:07:26,470 --> 00:07:28,220
Had him fired on the spot.
171
00:07:28,220 --> 00:07:29,775
Did he threaten your husband?
172
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,140
Bryan said he swore at him,
threw things.
173
00:07:33,165 --> 00:07:35,335
They had to call the police
to get him out.
174
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,236
- Do you know this man's name?
- No.
175
00:07:38,351 --> 00:07:40,931
But you can ask
the security office.
176
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,410
Anything from the traffic cams?
177
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:44,244
Not yet.
178
00:07:44,269 --> 00:07:46,595
But the hospital sent over
info on that security guard
179
00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:48,420
who had the run-in
with Jeffers yesterday.
180
00:07:48,697 --> 00:07:50,120
His name is Terrence Lamont.
181
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Date of birth,
November 16, 1976.
182
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,040
He's 5'10".
183
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,790
Does he have a rap sheet?
184
00:07:55,790 --> 00:07:57,420
No convictions.
185
00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:59,181
Does have a carry permit.
186
00:07:59,206 --> 00:08:01,416
- A .380?
- Yeah.
187
00:08:01,441 --> 00:08:03,231
And it looks like
hospital security filed
188
00:08:03,256 --> 00:08:05,306
a supplemental report
this morning,
189
00:08:05,331 --> 00:08:07,251
one hour before
shots were fired.
190
00:08:07,276 --> 00:08:09,646
Lamont was trying to get back
into the hospital.
191
00:08:09,671 --> 00:08:11,861
All right, text his address
to Riley and Shaw.
192
00:08:11,886 --> 00:08:14,266
I'm gonna call and try
and get a search warrant.
193
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:18,990
Terrence Lamont, open up.
194
00:08:18,990 --> 00:08:20,490
NYPD.
195
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120
Terrence Lamont?
- Yeah. What the hell?
196
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,870
- Arrest warrant. Come here.
- What?
197
00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:28,130
Turn around.
198
00:08:28,130 --> 00:08:30,090
You got any weapons on you?
- Stay up there.
199
00:08:30,090 --> 00:08:31,760
Where's your gun?
200
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,340
The .380, where is it?
201
00:08:33,340 --> 00:08:34,930
- I want a lawyer.
- Good.
202
00:08:34,930 --> 00:08:36,010
You can call him
from the precinct.
203
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:37,720
Let's go.
204
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,875
My client had nothing
to do with that shooting.
205
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:43,461
Yeah, you were pretty pissed
at Dr. Jeffers
206
00:08:43,486 --> 00:08:44,634
about calling the police.
207
00:08:44,665 --> 00:08:45,530
Yeah, I was.
208
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:49,510
Those doctors think
they walk on water.
209
00:08:49,510 --> 00:08:50,681
But I didn't kill anyone.
210
00:08:50,706 --> 00:08:52,884
We know you have a .380
registered in your name.
211
00:08:52,909 --> 00:08:54,689
We checked your apartment,
we didn't find it.
212
00:08:54,714 --> 00:08:56,674
Where's the gun?
213
00:08:56,699 --> 00:08:59,040
Stolen. Two months ago.
214
00:08:59,065 --> 00:09:02,275
My client filed a report
with Rochester PD.
215
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:03,400
Their records will confirm.
216
00:09:03,425 --> 00:09:04,725
All right,
we'll check up on that.
217
00:09:04,750 --> 00:09:06,460
I was hoping we might
work something out here.
218
00:09:06,778 --> 00:09:08,970
My client has
some information to trade.
219
00:09:08,995 --> 00:09:10,995
We're all ears.
What do you know?
220
00:09:11,107 --> 00:09:12,567
- First...
- I was talking to him.
221
00:09:12,592 --> 00:09:14,802
Let's discuss dismissing
the stolen drug
222
00:09:14,827 --> 00:09:16,577
and assault charges
from the hospital...
223
00:09:16,602 --> 00:09:18,022
If you know something
about the shooting,
224
00:09:18,047 --> 00:09:19,837
you tell us right now.
225
00:09:23,490 --> 00:09:26,330
When I was leaving
the hospital, on the way home,
226
00:09:26,462 --> 00:09:28,750
waiting at the bus stop,
227
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:30,960
I saw a man running.
228
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,565
Threw a gun in his backpack.
229
00:09:32,837 --> 00:09:34,050
What'd this guy look like?
230
00:09:34,050 --> 00:09:35,300
Does that mean we got a deal?
231
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:36,460
If his info checks out,
232
00:09:36,460 --> 00:09:38,180
then we will call
the DA's office.
233
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:40,439
Come on, brother, help yourself.
234
00:09:44,986 --> 00:09:47,560
5'9",
235
00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:49,587
Black,
236
00:09:49,612 --> 00:09:53,595
in a hoodie
wearing a paper surgical mask.
237
00:09:54,048 --> 00:09:56,455
When he put the gun away,
he took the mask off,
238
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,780
threw it in a grate.
239
00:09:59,780 --> 00:10:01,110
Exact location.
240
00:10:05,790 --> 00:10:07,830
So we got a call
from Rochester PD.
241
00:10:07,830 --> 00:10:09,830
Lamont's stolen gun story
checks out.
242
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:12,130
All right, what about
the guy with the backpack?
243
00:10:12,130 --> 00:10:13,500
Did you find the mask
that he ditched?
244
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,090
Unis found it
exactly where Lamont said
245
00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:15,837
it was gonna be.
246
00:10:15,862 --> 00:10:17,840
All right,
we'll have it tested for DNA.
247
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,320
Where are we at with
the hospital video footage?
248
00:10:20,345 --> 00:10:21,126
Any progress?
249
00:10:21,151 --> 00:10:23,010
No, the lawyers are still
refusing to give it up.
250
00:10:23,010 --> 00:10:24,350
Call over to the DA's office.
251
00:10:24,592 --> 00:10:27,172
Let's get Maroun on this.
- OK.
252
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,440
There is a killer on the loose,
253
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,281
and the hospital security video
can help police
254
00:10:37,306 --> 00:10:38,720
identify and apprehend him.
255
00:10:38,745 --> 00:10:40,968
Mercy employees were injured
in the shooting.
256
00:10:40,993 --> 00:10:42,570
The hospital wants to help
law enforcement.
257
00:10:42,595 --> 00:10:44,015
Great.
Then give us the video.
258
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,280
We can't.
HIPAA laws don't allow it.
259
00:10:46,439 --> 00:10:48,370
There are exceptions to the law.
260
00:10:48,370 --> 00:10:49,767
Not when it comes to videotape
261
00:10:49,815 --> 00:10:52,118
that will expose the identities
of dozens of patients.
262
00:10:52,143 --> 00:10:54,523
The hospital can redact
individual faces.
263
00:10:54,548 --> 00:10:56,836
Chanko versus American
Broadcasting Companies.
264
00:10:56,861 --> 00:10:59,056
The Appeals Court opinion
was very clear,
265
00:10:59,173 --> 00:11:01,010
the release of video
with blurred faces
266
00:11:01,010 --> 00:11:03,390
and altered voices
still violates HIPAA.
267
00:11:03,390 --> 00:11:05,850
Unfortunately, Ms. Maroun,
I have no choice
268
00:11:05,850 --> 00:11:09,140
but to deny your request
for access to the video.
269
00:11:09,140 --> 00:11:11,350
What about surveillance footage
270
00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:12,611
from outside the hospital?
271
00:11:12,636 --> 00:11:15,136
There is no reasonable
expectation of privacy there.
272
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,470
Send Maroun a fruit basket.
273
00:11:21,556 --> 00:11:22,660
Why, what do you got?
274
00:11:22,660 --> 00:11:24,500
Two minutes
after shots were fired,
275
00:11:24,500 --> 00:11:26,380
a Black man in a hoodie
and surgical mask
276
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:28,840
bolts out of the yard
and heads north.
277
00:11:28,996 --> 00:11:30,786
It picked him up again here.
278
00:11:32,650 --> 00:11:34,510
- Is that a gun?
- Looks like it.
279
00:11:34,510 --> 00:11:37,648
And check it out, there's some
kind of logo on his backpack.
280
00:11:37,673 --> 00:11:38,800
St. Francis.
281
00:11:39,111 --> 00:11:41,100
It's a boys school
up on 136th Street.
282
00:11:41,736 --> 00:11:43,310
My kids have some friends
that go there.
283
00:11:43,418 --> 00:11:46,298
136, that's a few blocks
from Mercy General.
284
00:11:48,230 --> 00:11:49,820
Is our shooter a kid?
285
00:11:54,306 --> 00:11:56,990
We have ten students
named Daniel.
286
00:11:57,423 --> 00:12:01,030
Any of them absent today
or missing from class?
287
00:12:01,030 --> 00:12:03,160
All checked in on time.
288
00:12:03,423 --> 00:12:04,910
Wait, wait.
289
00:12:04,910 --> 00:12:06,420
No. One boy is out.
290
00:12:06,914 --> 00:12:08,725
We'll need his last name.
291
00:12:09,095 --> 00:12:12,130
Cartwright.
Daniel Cartwright, 11th grader.
292
00:12:12,618 --> 00:12:14,460
11th grade.
So he's what, 17?
293
00:12:14,460 --> 00:12:15,420
16.
294
00:12:15,642 --> 00:12:17,025
He's a good student.
295
00:12:17,150 --> 00:12:20,100
Pretty unusual
for him to miss a day.
296
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,140
Can we see a picture
of this kid?
297
00:12:30,462 --> 00:12:32,270
On the right. 7.
298
00:12:33,923 --> 00:12:36,280
NYPD, open up.
299
00:12:36,665 --> 00:12:38,360
Detectives, open up!
300
00:12:38,814 --> 00:12:41,345
What is going... oh, my God!
301
00:12:41,978 --> 00:12:44,040
We have a warrant
to search the premises.
302
00:12:44,548 --> 00:12:45,870
I don't... I don't understand.
303
00:12:46,462 --> 00:12:47,210
What is happening?
304
00:12:47,210 --> 00:12:48,580
Your son Daniel, is he here?
305
00:12:48,580 --> 00:12:50,080
My...
306
00:12:50,337 --> 00:12:51,920
Daniel is my nephew.
307
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,550
He's here. What is this about?
308
00:12:54,954 --> 00:12:57,130
Daniel, where are your parents?
309
00:12:57,368 --> 00:13:00,010
My mom, she...
310
00:13:00,392 --> 00:13:02,390
His... his mother,
311
00:13:02,650 --> 00:13:04,180
my sister-in-law Nora,
312
00:13:04,180 --> 00:13:05,930
she died yesterday.
313
00:13:06,173 --> 00:13:07,980
What happened?
314
00:13:08,197 --> 00:13:10,190
She was pregnant.
315
00:13:10,190 --> 00:13:12,690
And she had just entered
her third trimester.
316
00:13:14,673 --> 00:13:17,690
A few days ago, she started
experiencing sharp pains.
317
00:13:18,033 --> 00:13:20,240
My brother took her
to the hospital.
318
00:13:21,660 --> 00:13:23,330
Was she treated
at Mercy General?
319
00:13:23,697 --> 00:13:25,450
Yes. She got home.
320
00:13:25,861 --> 00:13:27,330
Her pains got worse.
321
00:13:27,572 --> 00:13:30,540
Yesterday,
she went into early labor.
322
00:13:33,017 --> 00:13:35,420
She died on the way
to the hospital.
323
00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:38,670
Her and the baby.
324
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,140
Daniel, I can see how that
would make you very upset.
325
00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:44,300
Is that why you went
to the hospital this morning?
326
00:13:44,415 --> 00:13:46,260
The hospital?
I didn't go there.
327
00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:49,100
No, he's been here
with me all morning.
328
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:50,690
We found this in the closet.
329
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:54,520
It's empty.
330
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,853
That's for a .380.
331
00:13:56,947 --> 00:13:58,690
Daniel, we need your honesty
right now.
332
00:13:59,142 --> 00:13:59,860
Where's the gun?
333
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:01,070
It belongs to my dad.
334
00:14:01,267 --> 00:14:02,610
That's your dad's gun?
335
00:14:02,610 --> 00:14:04,093
Were you aware that he had
a firearm in the house?
336
00:14:04,118 --> 00:14:05,283
No.
337
00:14:05,481 --> 00:14:08,361
Do you happen to know if your
dad had a permit for that gun?
338
00:14:08,767 --> 00:14:10,501
Daniel.
339
00:14:12,017 --> 00:14:13,548
Is this your father?
340
00:14:14,751 --> 00:14:15,960
What's his name?
341
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,340
Kenneth.
342
00:14:17,564 --> 00:14:18,550
Where is he right now?
343
00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:20,665
He called me early.
344
00:14:20,775 --> 00:14:22,550
He wanted me to be here
with Daniel.
345
00:14:22,884 --> 00:14:25,010
Asked to borrow my car.
346
00:14:25,010 --> 00:14:27,462
I need the plates right now.
347
00:14:28,009 --> 00:14:30,134
We need an APB on a beige Chevy.
348
00:14:30,212 --> 00:14:33,230
License 239
Alpha Charlie Delta Tango.
349
00:14:33,845 --> 00:14:34,440
You all right?
350
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:36,900
Not really.
351
00:14:37,056 --> 00:14:38,843
Guy in the photo,
Kenneth Cartwright,
352
00:14:38,868 --> 00:14:39,929
that's the jumper
from this morning.
353
00:14:39,954 --> 00:14:41,892
He must have given me
a fake name.
354
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:42,820
That's the guy?
355
00:14:42,984 --> 00:14:43,835
Yeah.
356
00:14:44,165 --> 00:14:45,570
I talked him out
of killing himself
357
00:14:45,570 --> 00:14:48,080
just so he can waltz into Mercy
and shoot up the damn ER.
358
00:14:56,201 --> 00:14:57,337
All right, thank you.
359
00:14:58,510 --> 00:15:00,060
Mercy General just confirmed
360
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:02,189
Dr. Jeffers was the one
who did the evaluation
361
00:15:02,214 --> 00:15:03,964
on Cartwright's wife.
362
00:15:06,090 --> 00:15:08,930
Hey, this is not on you,
man, all right?
363
00:15:08,955 --> 00:15:11,705
You did what you thought
was right in the moment.
364
00:15:11,730 --> 00:15:13,900
If I had just called
for a bus when I first saw him,
365
00:15:14,181 --> 00:15:16,033
insisted that he be seen
by a doctor,
366
00:15:16,058 --> 00:15:19,018
Jeffers' wife would not be
casket shopping right now.
367
00:15:19,059 --> 00:15:20,599
Hey, do not do that to yourself.
368
00:15:20,624 --> 00:15:23,174
That's hindsight. Let it go.
369
00:15:24,329 --> 00:15:25,499
Yeah, Lieu, you get a hit
on the plate?
370
00:15:25,764 --> 00:15:27,594
Not yet, but the second victim,
371
00:15:27,649 --> 00:15:29,779
the ER nurse who was shot,
she's awake.
372
00:15:29,804 --> 00:15:31,267
- She talking?
- Better than that.
373
00:15:31,292 --> 00:15:32,775
She already picked out
Cartwright's photo
374
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,634
from a six pack.
375
00:15:33,659 --> 00:15:34,658
- Great.
- Yeah.
376
00:15:34,683 --> 00:15:36,406
But she keeps saying
she's worried
377
00:15:36,431 --> 00:15:37,993
that he's gonna kill
somebody else.
378
00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:39,550
- What do you mean?
- I don't know.
379
00:15:39,550 --> 00:15:40,548
She's in the ICU.
380
00:15:40,573 --> 00:15:42,009
She's on a lot of painkillers.
381
00:15:42,034 --> 00:15:44,439
She just keeps saying,
he's gonna shoot somebody else.
382
00:15:44,564 --> 00:15:46,064
So I need you to get over there
as soon as you can
383
00:15:46,089 --> 00:15:47,954
and find out what the hell
she's talking about.
384
00:15:48,104 --> 00:15:50,274
Yeah, copy that.
385
00:15:54,572 --> 00:15:56,853
I'm sorry.
I'm still feeling so foggy.
386
00:15:56,878 --> 00:15:57,861
I understand.
387
00:15:57,886 --> 00:15:59,716
But this is important, OK?
388
00:16:00,310 --> 00:16:02,230
Why do you think
he's gonna kill again?
389
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,525
Just tell us what you remember.
390
00:16:06,934 --> 00:16:08,736
I was talking to Dr. Jeffers,
391
00:16:08,872 --> 00:16:10,645
about to check in
on a patient when ...
392
00:16:11,212 --> 00:16:14,630
Nora Cartwright's husband
came in.
393
00:16:14,829 --> 00:16:16,329
What did he do?
394
00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:18,540
He pointed the gun
at Dr. Jeffers.
395
00:16:18,565 --> 00:16:22,650
And he... just started shooting.
396
00:16:22,731 --> 00:16:25,851
Dr. Jeffers got shot
in the back, fell to the floor,
397
00:16:25,876 --> 00:16:28,176
and...
398
00:16:28,201 --> 00:16:30,621
the man just shot him
again in the chest.
399
00:16:31,033 --> 00:16:32,243
How did you get shot?
400
00:16:32,370 --> 00:16:34,460
I think a bullet ricocheted
off something
401
00:16:34,485 --> 00:16:36,155
and hit me in the stomach.
402
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,740
And did Mr. Cartwright
say anything
403
00:16:38,740 --> 00:16:40,986
after he shot Jeffers?
404
00:16:41,142 --> 00:16:43,700
He said,
"You killed my wife."
405
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:47,173
And then he yelled out loud,
"Where's the other doctor?"
406
00:16:47,198 --> 00:16:49,238
Wait, what doctor?
407
00:16:49,540 --> 00:16:52,420
Who else was responsible
for Nora Cartwright's care?
408
00:16:52,420 --> 00:16:54,868
Dr. Jeffers did the eval
with Dr. Edison.
409
00:16:55,025 --> 00:16:56,395
Mark Edison.
410
00:17:01,408 --> 00:17:03,060
Oh, wait, text from Yee.
411
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:04,430
She got a hit on the plate.
412
00:17:04,430 --> 00:17:06,350
His car's about two blocks
from Edison's house
413
00:17:06,350 --> 00:17:08,770
on 136th Street.
414
00:17:12,810 --> 00:17:14,570
Slow down, buddy.
415
00:17:14,704 --> 00:17:16,072
Stop sign! Whoa.
416
00:17:16,096 --> 00:17:18,186
Jalen!
417
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,710
12 o'clock, there he is.
418
00:17:33,444 --> 00:17:34,984
I got him.
419
00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:39,300
We got a 10-13.
420
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:41,550
Suspect armed.
Riverside 138.
421
00:17:49,949 --> 00:17:52,279
2-7 Squad, suspect is heading
to the westbound
422
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:54,087
service road near 135 Street.
423
00:17:54,253 --> 00:17:56,556
I'm in pursuit.
424
00:18:05,923 --> 00:18:08,003
Hey, you put that down!
425
00:18:08,361 --> 00:18:10,556
Kenneth, put the gun down!
426
00:18:10,796 --> 00:18:12,546
Do not give them a reason.
427
00:18:13,142 --> 00:18:14,462
No. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
428
00:18:14,491 --> 00:18:16,031
There's only one
good choice here.
429
00:18:16,056 --> 00:18:18,814
- Oh, my God.
- Think about your son.
430
00:18:19,193 --> 00:18:20,363
You.
431
00:18:20,388 --> 00:18:22,728
Right now, he's at home
with your sister,
432
00:18:22,753 --> 00:18:25,253
Deborah, safe and sound.
433
00:18:25,430 --> 00:18:28,290
Do not make him an orphan,
you hear me?
434
00:18:28,318 --> 00:18:30,290
He needs you.
435
00:18:31,183 --> 00:18:34,189
Now, you take that gun
and you toss it.
436
00:18:34,681 --> 00:18:36,736
Toss the gun.
437
00:18:40,849 --> 00:18:43,469
You toss it.
438
00:18:43,562 --> 00:18:44,298
Good man.
439
00:18:44,323 --> 00:18:46,006
Now put your hands
behind your head.
440
00:18:46,505 --> 00:18:47,384
Hands behind your head.
441
00:18:47,409 --> 00:18:50,239
Turn around.
442
00:18:50,450 --> 00:18:51,960
Walk to me slowly.
443
00:18:56,447 --> 00:18:58,775
Didn't have to be this way,
Kenneth.
444
00:18:58,856 --> 00:19:02,276
You know what they did
to my wife, my baby.
445
00:19:02,424 --> 00:19:04,804
An eye for an eye.
446
00:19:04,930 --> 00:19:06,009
What'd you say?
447
00:19:06,034 --> 00:19:07,784
An eye for an eye.
448
00:19:08,123 --> 00:19:10,025
They killed Nora,
so I killed them.
449
00:19:10,105 --> 00:19:10,947
You have the right
to remain silent...
450
00:19:10,972 --> 00:19:11,517
I killed them.
I killed them.
451
00:19:11,542 --> 00:19:13,212
You have the right
to remain silent.
452
00:19:19,860 --> 00:19:21,320
You good?
453
00:19:25,206 --> 00:19:27,626
Calling docket ending in 6709,
454
00:19:27,630 --> 00:19:29,050
People versus
Kenneth Cartwright.
455
00:19:29,050 --> 00:19:30,420
How do you plead, sir?
456
00:19:30,420 --> 00:19:32,470
My client pleads not guilty,
Your Honor.
457
00:19:32,681 --> 00:19:33,603
Question of bail?
458
00:19:33,628 --> 00:19:36,638
The defendant walked
into a hospital emergency room
459
00:19:36,663 --> 00:19:38,373
and opened fire.
460
00:19:38,398 --> 00:19:41,423
Shot and killed a dedicated
and renowned physician
461
00:19:41,448 --> 00:19:43,368
and seriously injured a nurse.
462
00:19:43,665 --> 00:19:44,634
We have a strong case,
463
00:19:44,659 --> 00:19:47,962
including an eyewitness and DNA
from the mask he was wearing.
464
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:49,579
We seek remand.
465
00:19:49,808 --> 00:19:50,783
Mr. Dressler?
466
00:19:50,808 --> 00:19:52,978
My client's an electrician
with no prior record.
467
00:19:53,088 --> 00:19:54,744
And the People's case
isn't as strong
468
00:19:54,769 --> 00:19:55,829
as they would have you believe.
469
00:19:55,854 --> 00:19:57,970
When Detective Shaw
arrested the defendant,
470
00:19:57,995 --> 00:19:59,447
he was holding
the murder weapon.
471
00:19:59,517 --> 00:20:01,307
He also confessed
to Detective Shaw.
472
00:20:01,494 --> 00:20:03,244
The defendant is remanded.
473
00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:05,290
Next case.
474
00:20:11,780 --> 00:20:13,070
Dr. Jeffers.
475
00:20:14,070 --> 00:20:16,120
Tell us about your husband.
476
00:20:17,573 --> 00:20:19,123
He was a good man.
477
00:20:19,148 --> 00:20:22,108
A loving husband, devoted dad,
478
00:20:22,170 --> 00:20:23,750
and a hell of a physician.
479
00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,103
He worked in the emergency
room at Mercy General?
480
00:20:27,128 --> 00:20:28,017
For 12 years.
481
00:20:28,042 --> 00:20:29,372
It was his dream job.
482
00:20:29,397 --> 00:20:30,857
He thrived there.
483
00:20:31,113 --> 00:20:35,306
Even with all the tragedy
and chaos.
484
00:20:35,555 --> 00:20:38,685
He cared deeply
for all his patients.
485
00:20:40,534 --> 00:20:44,439
Is this when you last saw
your husband, Dr. Jeffers?
486
00:20:56,074 --> 00:20:57,119
Yes.
487
00:20:57,289 --> 00:21:00,079
Suffering from two
gunshot wounds,
488
00:21:00,104 --> 00:21:02,774
one to the back,
one to the chest?
489
00:21:02,968 --> 00:21:03,814
Yes.
490
00:21:04,131 --> 00:21:05,829
Thank you.
491
00:21:06,406 --> 00:21:07,916
Your witness.
492
00:21:12,683 --> 00:21:15,103
Your husband,
the dedicated doctor
493
00:21:15,128 --> 00:21:17,258
who cared deeply
for his patients,
494
00:21:17,469 --> 00:21:19,509
spent a total of six minutes
495
00:21:19,534 --> 00:21:22,704
evaluating Kenneth Cartwright's
wife, Nora.
496
00:21:22,978 --> 00:21:26,283
He ignored or dismissed
her obvious symptoms
497
00:21:26,347 --> 00:21:28,557
and failed to diagnose
her preeclampsia.
498
00:21:28,590 --> 00:21:31,048
Unfortunately, the misdiagnosis
499
00:21:31,073 --> 00:21:32,743
is a common mistake.
500
00:21:32,850 --> 00:21:34,798
More common
when the patient is Black.
501
00:21:34,823 --> 00:21:36,247
Objection.
Argumentative.
502
00:21:36,272 --> 00:21:37,442
No foundation.
503
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:39,794
The witness is a medical doctor.
504
00:21:41,017 --> 00:21:42,079
Go ahead.
505
00:21:42,242 --> 00:21:44,220
Did you know that
Black women in New York
506
00:21:44,245 --> 00:21:46,455
are nine times
more likely to die
507
00:21:46,616 --> 00:21:49,353
of pregnancy-related
complications than white women?
508
00:21:49,481 --> 00:21:51,165
I...
509
00:21:52,366 --> 00:21:55,806
My husband treated all patients
with dignity.
510
00:21:55,890 --> 00:21:58,640
Your husband made
the same misdiagnosis
511
00:21:58,665 --> 00:22:00,375
with two other patients.
512
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,298
Both were Black women.
513
00:22:02,323 --> 00:22:04,822
One of them also died.
514
00:22:05,229 --> 00:22:08,072
There's no dignity in that.
515
00:22:08,645 --> 00:22:10,806
I understand, but...
516
00:22:11,234 --> 00:22:13,173
he also helped a lot of women.
517
00:22:13,262 --> 00:22:15,923
As a practicing physician,
did you also know
518
00:22:15,948 --> 00:22:17,884
that the systemic neglect
of women of color
519
00:22:17,909 --> 00:22:21,829
in a hospital setting has
become a public health crisis?
520
00:22:22,260 --> 00:22:23,806
That the Black maternal
death rate
521
00:22:23,831 --> 00:22:26,587
is more than double that
of white women?
522
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:28,652
Your Honor, relevance?
523
00:22:28,677 --> 00:22:30,807
Counsel, approach.
524
00:22:34,606 --> 00:22:36,236
Mr. Dressler,
what are you doing?
525
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,950
Educating the jury
about racial injustice
526
00:22:37,950 --> 00:22:39,001
in the health care system.
527
00:22:39,026 --> 00:22:41,356
How is that even
remotely relevant?
528
00:22:41,530 --> 00:22:42,884
Mr. Price has a point.
529
00:22:42,909 --> 00:22:44,489
We plan to change our plea.
530
00:22:44,620 --> 00:22:45,423
To what?
531
00:22:45,453 --> 00:22:47,123
Not guilty
by reason of insanity.
532
00:22:47,210 --> 00:22:48,540
Insanity?
533
00:22:48,610 --> 00:22:50,494
What's the underlying condition?
534
00:22:50,608 --> 00:22:52,556
Race-based traumatic stress.
535
00:22:52,637 --> 00:22:53,717
Oh.
536
00:22:55,221 --> 00:22:57,525
Do you have an expert
prepared to testify?
537
00:22:57,550 --> 00:23:00,408
- Yes.
- An expert in racial trauma?
538
00:23:00,498 --> 00:23:03,595
I have never heard
of this condition
539
00:23:03,620 --> 00:23:05,330
being used in an insanity case.
540
00:23:05,355 --> 00:23:07,111
There's a first time
for everything.
541
00:23:11,106 --> 00:23:12,439
I'm granting
the defense's request.
542
00:23:12,464 --> 00:23:15,094
You may present an insanity
defense, Mr. Dressler.
543
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,499
- Your Honor.
- Step back, Mr. Price.
544
00:23:27,149 --> 00:23:28,319
Yes, Senator.
545
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:30,751
OK.
546
00:23:31,417 --> 00:23:33,287
I appreciate that.
547
00:23:34,733 --> 00:23:35,576
Goodbye.
548
00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:39,623
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown,
549
00:23:39,648 --> 00:23:41,738
Mr. Acting District Attorney.
550
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:44,404
As far as I'm concerned,
the governor can't name
551
00:23:44,429 --> 00:23:46,232
Jack's replacement soon enough.
552
00:23:46,350 --> 00:23:48,520
I can't believe
he's really gone.
553
00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:51,318
End of an era.
554
00:23:51,448 --> 00:23:52,908
Yeah.
555
00:23:53,033 --> 00:23:54,990
He was...
556
00:23:55,805 --> 00:23:57,685
amazing.
557
00:23:57,818 --> 00:23:58,248
Yeah.
558
00:23:58,278 --> 00:24:00,107
I hope you come
bearing good news.
559
00:24:00,301 --> 00:24:01,623
I, um,
560
00:24:01,714 --> 00:24:03,834
reviewed the defendant's
discovery.
561
00:24:03,943 --> 00:24:06,033
He's got
a well-documented history.
562
00:24:06,065 --> 00:24:07,990
Years of race-based trauma
and abuse.
563
00:24:08,015 --> 00:24:09,975
What do you mean?
564
00:24:10,236 --> 00:24:11,568
Police reports show that he was
565
00:24:11,593 --> 00:24:13,763
racially profiled five times.
566
00:24:13,788 --> 00:24:15,724
Stopped on the street,
pulled over in his car,
567
00:24:15,749 --> 00:24:18,259
followed around
by store security
568
00:24:18,289 --> 00:24:19,869
for no legitimate reason.
569
00:24:19,894 --> 00:24:22,984
He spent a weekend in jail for
suspicion of drug trafficking.
570
00:24:23,069 --> 00:24:25,068
They arrested him
in front of his son.
571
00:24:25,170 --> 00:24:27,068
He had to spend five grand
for a lawyer,
572
00:24:27,093 --> 00:24:28,923
and the charges were
eventually dropped.
573
00:24:28,948 --> 00:24:31,388
I could go on.
- No need. I get the idea.
574
00:24:32,013 --> 00:24:34,735
And the final straw was
the doctor's mistreatment
575
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,537
of his pregnant wife.
576
00:24:35,562 --> 00:24:37,562
I get it.
577
00:24:37,882 --> 00:24:38,802
But?
578
00:24:39,050 --> 00:24:43,480
It doesn't excuse or justify
what Cartwright did.
579
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,890
No, but it sure gives
580
00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:47,650
his actions some context.
581
00:24:47,650 --> 00:24:50,020
And the jury might find it
to be a mitigating factor.
582
00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:52,030
What are you suggesting?
583
00:24:52,030 --> 00:24:54,849
I think we should offer
a plea, diminished capacity.
584
00:24:54,874 --> 00:24:57,294
It was a premeditated murder.
585
00:24:57,319 --> 00:24:58,373
The facts suggest that...
586
00:24:58,398 --> 00:25:01,068
That he was suffering, Nolan.
587
00:25:01,190 --> 00:25:03,690
His wife and baby had just died.
588
00:25:03,901 --> 00:25:06,615
I'm not saying
we should let him walk.
589
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,021
I'm saying we should show
some compassion
590
00:25:09,046 --> 00:25:10,546
for what the man went through.
591
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,350
We're prepared to offer Man One,
592
00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:22,350
15 years.
593
00:25:22,350 --> 00:25:24,350
No.
594
00:25:24,350 --> 00:25:26,190
I can't do 15 years.
595
00:25:26,190 --> 00:25:30,070
With good behavior,
you'll be out in 12.
596
00:25:30,070 --> 00:25:33,070
Would you consider seven?
597
00:25:33,070 --> 00:25:36,490
Ten is the best I can do.
598
00:25:36,655 --> 00:25:37,945
OK.
599
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:42,396
But only if it's
home confinement.
600
00:25:42,474 --> 00:25:44,763
That's not how this works.
601
00:25:44,792 --> 00:25:46,880
You have to serve your sentence
in a prison.
602
00:25:46,912 --> 00:25:49,042
Like I said, I can't.
603
00:25:49,067 --> 00:25:51,067
Hold on a minute, Kenneth.
604
00:25:51,092 --> 00:25:53,762
Let's... let's hear him out.
605
00:25:53,787 --> 00:25:55,457
I have a son.
606
00:25:55,482 --> 00:25:57,513
His mother just died.
607
00:25:57,538 --> 00:26:00,748
I need to be around
so I don't lose him too.
608
00:26:00,773 --> 00:26:03,545
Your son can visit you
in prison.
609
00:26:03,588 --> 00:26:05,732
Look, I know
it's not the same thing,
610
00:26:05,757 --> 00:26:06,701
but...
611
00:26:08,831 --> 00:26:10,966
it's a generous offer.
612
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,670
I agree.
613
00:26:14,305 --> 00:26:15,513
It's a good offer.
614
00:26:16,363 --> 00:26:18,521
The only reason
we're willing to do this
615
00:26:19,153 --> 00:26:22,983
is because we know
what you went through.
616
00:26:23,649 --> 00:26:25,649
I appreciate it.
617
00:26:28,030 --> 00:26:29,943
But I want my son
618
00:26:30,421 --> 00:26:32,162
to know that I fought for him,
619
00:26:32,343 --> 00:26:34,303
for what's left of our family.
620
00:26:34,328 --> 00:26:37,388
So I'd rather roll the dice
621
00:26:37,461 --> 00:26:42,381
and hope the jury realizes
I'm a good person...
622
00:26:42,406 --> 00:26:45,177
who just did a stupid thing
623
00:26:45,355 --> 00:26:47,065
because I was crazy that day.
624
00:26:53,999 --> 00:26:55,829
I guess we'll see you in court.
625
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,873
I feel terrible
about what I did.
626
00:27:12,897 --> 00:27:14,970
I wish I could take it back.
627
00:27:15,483 --> 00:27:18,550
Why did you do it?
628
00:27:18,550 --> 00:27:20,850
I wasn't in my right mind.
629
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:22,810
Please tell the members
of the jury
630
00:27:22,810 --> 00:27:24,730
what you mean by that.
631
00:27:24,959 --> 00:27:29,230
I have taken a lot
over the course of my life.
632
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,820
A woman sees me in the elevator,
633
00:27:33,820 --> 00:27:36,660
says she's gonna wait
for the next car.
634
00:27:36,826 --> 00:27:38,412
I smile
635
00:27:38,513 --> 00:27:40,143
and tell her to have a nice day.
636
00:27:40,772 --> 00:27:44,080
A taxi driver won't stop
to pick me up.
637
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:46,120
I wait for the next one.
638
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,630
And then there's the promotions
I've lost,
639
00:27:49,630 --> 00:27:51,590
the jobs I didn't get.
640
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,220
But when it came...
641
00:28:00,368 --> 00:28:03,918
To my wife...
642
00:28:04,139 --> 00:28:08,069
my baby...
643
00:28:09,150 --> 00:28:11,897
I couldn't see past it.
644
00:28:12,650 --> 00:28:14,070
They were...
645
00:28:14,287 --> 00:28:15,397
It was too much.
646
00:28:15,483 --> 00:28:17,360
What do you mean by that?
647
00:28:17,733 --> 00:28:22,410
The way
those doctors treated her...
648
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:33,389
Ignored her problems,
649
00:28:34,076 --> 00:28:36,944
her symptoms.
650
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:41,800
Told her the pain
was in her head
651
00:28:42,006 --> 00:28:44,890
like she was stupid.
652
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:48,100
Like she didn't matter.
653
00:28:48,248 --> 00:28:51,190
The day they died,
654
00:28:51,190 --> 00:28:55,150
my mind was just... spinning.
655
00:28:55,150 --> 00:28:57,686
My heart was beating
really fast.
656
00:28:57,736 --> 00:29:00,196
I knew I had to do something.
657
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,040
I wanted to kill myself.
658
00:29:08,295 --> 00:29:10,459
But then I went
659
00:29:10,484 --> 00:29:14,210
and did what I did.
660
00:29:16,500 --> 00:29:18,550
Nothing further.
661
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,576
On the morning of the murder,
662
00:29:27,601 --> 00:29:31,020
your son, Daniel, was home?
663
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,483
Yes.
664
00:29:32,563 --> 00:29:33,643
Did you speak with him?
665
00:29:33,730 --> 00:29:35,360
Did you check
that he was all right?
666
00:29:35,756 --> 00:29:36,610
I did.
667
00:29:36,709 --> 00:29:39,440
And you had a conversation
with your sister?
668
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,490
You asked her to come over,
sit with your son?
669
00:29:41,803 --> 00:29:42,233
Yes.
670
00:29:42,258 --> 00:29:44,280
'Cause you were
going to Mercy General
671
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,200
and you didn't want Daniel
to be alone.
672
00:29:47,420 --> 00:29:48,370
That's right.
673
00:29:48,370 --> 00:29:49,620
Right.
674
00:29:49,620 --> 00:29:50,830
You had a plan.
675
00:29:51,217 --> 00:29:54,326
I don't know.
I just sort of did things.
676
00:29:54,374 --> 00:29:55,794
Did things?
677
00:29:56,186 --> 00:29:59,170
Like retrieve your gun
678
00:29:59,170 --> 00:30:00,550
from your bedroom closet,
679
00:30:00,550 --> 00:30:02,590
then head down to Mercy General,
680
00:30:02,590 --> 00:30:05,180
looked for Dr. Jeffers,
then started shooting?
681
00:30:05,180 --> 00:30:06,760
Yeah, I guess so.
682
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,890
All those things required
clear and lucid thought,
683
00:30:11,890 --> 00:30:15,610
as did putting on a mask and
a hoodie to disguise yourself.
684
00:30:15,967 --> 00:30:16,650
I don't know.
685
00:30:16,650 --> 00:30:17,770
I just did it.
686
00:30:17,770 --> 00:30:19,610
Then...
687
00:30:19,610 --> 00:30:20,900
Then you shot Dr. Jeffers
688
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:22,360
in the back and in the chest.
689
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,320
And then you set out
to find Dr. Edison.
690
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,717
But I didn't find him.
691
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,830
I was glad
those detectives stopped me.
692
00:30:31,830 --> 00:30:33,514
Yes.
693
00:30:34,170 --> 00:30:37,500
We are all glad about that.
694
00:30:40,050 --> 00:30:42,170
I have nothing further.
695
00:30:42,170 --> 00:30:44,975
Call your next witness,
Mr. Dressler.
696
00:30:46,186 --> 00:30:49,640
Race-based trauma stress,
also known as RBTS,
697
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,100
is the fraternal twin
698
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,980
of post-traumatic
stress disorder.
699
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:54,560
What causes it?
700
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,980
Those suffering
from the condition
701
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:59,150
have experienced or seen
those close to them experience
702
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:00,730
some form of racism.
703
00:31:00,730 --> 00:31:03,650
Discriminatory practices,
hate crimes.
704
00:31:03,650 --> 00:31:04,740
What are the symptoms?
705
00:31:04,740 --> 00:31:07,120
Like PTSD,
symptoms run the gamut.
706
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,280
Depression, difficulty sleeping,
707
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,910
anxiety, loss of appetite,
708
00:31:11,910 --> 00:31:13,960
headaches, crying spells.
709
00:31:14,475 --> 00:31:16,040
Suicidal ideation?
710
00:31:16,178 --> 00:31:17,670
Yes.
711
00:31:17,670 --> 00:31:21,090
Did you conduct a forensic
examination of my client?
712
00:31:21,444 --> 00:31:22,639
I did.
713
00:31:22,717 --> 00:31:25,405
His scores on the race-based
trauma stress symptom scale
714
00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:27,090
were clinically significant.
715
00:31:27,090 --> 00:31:29,350
He met all the criteria for PTSD
716
00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:30,930
with dissociative symptoms.
717
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,560
In your medical opinion,
718
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,730
did years of race-based trauma
719
00:31:36,131 --> 00:31:39,310
and the triggering shock
of his wife and baby's death
720
00:31:39,506 --> 00:31:41,230
interfere with his ability
721
00:31:41,230 --> 00:31:42,980
to distinguish right from wrong?
722
00:31:43,131 --> 00:31:45,610
That is my opinion, yes.
723
00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:52,870
RBTS is not recognized
by the DSM V,
724
00:31:52,870 --> 00:31:55,960
the diagnostic bible for
mental health professionals,
725
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920
is it?
- Not yet.
726
00:31:59,225 --> 00:32:00,540
So that's a no?
727
00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:01,710
But it has been recognized
728
00:32:01,710 --> 00:32:03,834
by the National Institutes
of Health,
729
00:32:03,859 --> 00:32:05,779
the National Center for PTSD,
730
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,470
and the American
Psychological Association.
731
00:32:08,725 --> 00:32:10,550
And it is widely accepted
by members
732
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:12,060
of the psychiatric community.
733
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:15,930
You didn't examine
the defendant until this week,
734
00:32:15,930 --> 00:32:17,440
is that correct?
- That's correct.
735
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,020
So you have no idea
what condition he was in
736
00:32:21,020 --> 00:32:23,320
on the day of the murder.
737
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,400
I only know
what he related to me.
738
00:32:26,950 --> 00:32:27,900
Thank you.
739
00:32:27,900 --> 00:32:29,160
Nothing further.
740
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,050
- Hey, Jalen.
- Hey.
741
00:32:44,050 --> 00:32:46,010
What are you doing here?
742
00:32:46,010 --> 00:32:48,300
I need you to testify
as a rebuttal witness
743
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,720
first thing in the morning.
744
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,180
To say what?
745
00:32:52,180 --> 00:32:54,430
That Cartwright was coherent,
746
00:32:54,430 --> 00:32:56,810
that he was able to communicate
rational thought.
747
00:32:56,810 --> 00:32:59,640
The man tried to kill himself
twice, Nolan.
748
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,310
I know.
749
00:33:01,310 --> 00:33:04,770
A person can be depressed
or angry
750
00:33:04,770 --> 00:33:08,190
and still not fit
the definition of insanity.
751
00:33:08,190 --> 00:33:09,820
In order to be legally insane,
752
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:12,950
a person has to be unable
to understand the wrongfulness
753
00:33:12,950 --> 00:33:14,280
of their conduct.
- I know.
754
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,240
I'm a lawyer too.
- OK, so...
755
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,830
Race-based trauma is real,
Nolan.
756
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:20,710
Cartwright was going through
a lot of pain.
757
00:33:20,710 --> 00:33:21,790
He was in pain.
758
00:33:21,790 --> 00:33:23,170
Real pain.
759
00:33:23,170 --> 00:33:25,420
He had just lost his wife,
his baby.
760
00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:26,760
He needed help.
761
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,170
If I had known he was
going through that,
762
00:33:28,170 --> 00:33:29,470
I should have got him...
763
00:33:29,470 --> 00:33:31,220
Is that what this is about?
764
00:33:31,220 --> 00:33:33,300
Your guilt?
765
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:35,060
This is about the fact
that that man
766
00:33:35,060 --> 00:33:37,560
does not deserve to spend
the rest of his life in prison.
767
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,310
I offered him a deal.
768
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:41,690
He turned it down.
What else can I do?
769
00:33:41,690 --> 00:33:42,980
Stipulate to his mental illness.
770
00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:46,020
Let him go
to a psychiatric hospital.
771
00:33:46,020 --> 00:33:47,940
He committed a premeditated,
772
00:33:47,940 --> 00:33:51,240
cold-blooded murder,
an act of revenge.
773
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,370
And... and he told you
why he did it.
774
00:33:53,370 --> 00:33:55,370
An eye for an eye.
775
00:33:55,370 --> 00:33:59,950
A legally insane man
would never say that.
776
00:33:59,950 --> 00:34:02,750
I'm not sure
that I remember it that way.
777
00:34:04,830 --> 00:34:06,880
Excuse me?
778
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,300
We talked about this,
779
00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:10,470
and you told me
that is what he said.
780
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:15,050
I can't help you, Nolan.
781
00:34:15,050 --> 00:34:16,260
Sorry.
782
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,230
Detective.
783
00:34:22,230 --> 00:34:23,980
I thought you might say that.
784
00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:25,770
I will see you in the morning.
- Oh, no.
785
00:34:36,206 --> 00:34:36,888
Thank you.
786
00:34:37,328 --> 00:34:38,349
Thanks, Steve.
787
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,748
So Price slapped me
with a subpoena.
788
00:34:48,013 --> 00:34:50,530
Well, you didn't give him
much choice, did you?
789
00:34:50,530 --> 00:34:51,529
Hmm.
790
00:34:51,554 --> 00:34:53,264
What's your plan?
791
00:34:57,889 --> 00:34:59,388
Cartwright was not
in his right mind
792
00:34:59,413 --> 00:35:01,709
when he did what he did.
793
00:35:02,530 --> 00:35:05,070
That man was past
his breaking point.
794
00:35:05,070 --> 00:35:07,131
And I get why he did it.
795
00:35:07,244 --> 00:35:09,302
Oh, don't get me wrong,
I don't agree
796
00:35:09,327 --> 00:35:10,827
with what he did, obviously.
797
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:14,373
I just get why he did it.
798
00:35:14,466 --> 00:35:17,787
It's the years
of being dismissed
799
00:35:17,812 --> 00:35:19,537
and ignored
800
00:35:19,562 --> 00:35:21,772
and mistreated.
801
00:35:24,206 --> 00:35:25,966
Does a number on you, man.
802
00:35:26,998 --> 00:35:28,209
I can't even imagine.
803
00:35:28,310 --> 00:35:31,640
You know, last year,
804
00:35:31,665 --> 00:35:34,943
this white cop thought
I was a murder suspect.
805
00:35:35,661 --> 00:35:37,935
So what did he do?
He put his gun to my head.
806
00:35:38,087 --> 00:35:40,547
Tells me to get on my knees.
807
00:35:40,984 --> 00:35:42,888
And I try to tell him,
"I'm a detective.
808
00:35:42,926 --> 00:35:45,506
I'm on the job."
I try to show him my badge.
809
00:35:45,531 --> 00:35:48,802
It...
810
00:35:49,003 --> 00:35:51,685
Son of a bitch
could have killed me.
811
00:35:52,117 --> 00:35:54,006
And what's worse is,
the department,
812
00:35:54,031 --> 00:35:56,581
our department, takes his side.
813
00:35:56,675 --> 00:35:57,443
What?
814
00:35:57,774 --> 00:35:58,927
Yeah.
815
00:35:59,192 --> 00:36:03,282
Disciplines me for failing
to submit to his command.
816
00:36:07,510 --> 00:36:09,180
I had never felt rage
like that in my life.
817
00:36:09,180 --> 00:36:11,980
I... I...
818
00:36:11,980 --> 00:36:15,600
I wanted to hurt somebody.
819
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,020
I'm not proud of that.
820
00:36:18,820 --> 00:36:20,440
And it's not just the police.
821
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:21,780
It's not just the hospitals.
822
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:24,240
It's everybody.
It's everywhere.
823
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:25,360
It's the DMV.
824
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,162
It's the hotels.
825
00:36:27,187 --> 00:36:29,557
It's the restaurants.
It's the banks.
826
00:36:29,582 --> 00:36:31,889
It's...
827
00:36:32,295 --> 00:36:33,824
Imagine,
828
00:36:34,127 --> 00:36:37,787
your... success,
829
00:36:38,358 --> 00:36:40,975
your safety, your security,
830
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,803
your survival,
831
00:36:42,828 --> 00:36:45,628
depends on
832
00:36:45,653 --> 00:36:49,323
the baggage that somebody else
projects onto you.
833
00:36:50,461 --> 00:36:53,428
Or how you make them feel
about themselves.
834
00:36:54,378 --> 00:36:56,338
I mean...
835
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,100
That's the part
that wears you down.
836
00:37:06,918 --> 00:37:08,404
Man, I hear you.
837
00:37:08,522 --> 00:37:09,982
I do.
838
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:13,773
Just don't lose sight
of the fact
839
00:37:13,798 --> 00:37:16,588
that an innocent man,
840
00:37:16,613 --> 00:37:19,404
a doctor, was killed.
841
00:37:19,429 --> 00:37:21,311
Yeah.
842
00:37:21,855 --> 00:37:23,685
You're a cop, Jalen.
843
00:37:23,710 --> 00:37:25,740
You're a cop.
844
00:37:26,167 --> 00:37:29,358
If you're not gonna show up
and tell the truth, then...
845
00:37:29,593 --> 00:37:32,133
you're in the wrong profession,
my friend.
846
00:37:35,974 --> 00:37:39,314
You know, Riley, I'm really
starting to like you.
847
00:37:40,929 --> 00:37:44,170
And I appreciate
your perspective.
848
00:37:44,429 --> 00:37:46,701
I do.
849
00:37:46,826 --> 00:37:48,717
But with all due respect,
850
00:37:48,742 --> 00:37:52,014
you have no idea
what you're talking about.
851
00:37:52,899 --> 00:37:55,739
And you should just be grateful
that you never will.
852
00:38:05,682 --> 00:38:08,972
Detective Shaw, did you have
occasion to see the defendant
853
00:38:09,097 --> 00:38:10,686
an hour before the shooting?
854
00:38:10,711 --> 00:38:12,751
I did.
855
00:38:12,776 --> 00:38:14,662
He was suicidal.
856
00:38:14,687 --> 00:38:17,187
Almost jumped
into the East River.
857
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:18,962
Tell us about your conversation.
858
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:22,272
He said that he felt
like a failure.
859
00:38:22,330 --> 00:38:24,210
That he let people down.
860
00:38:24,319 --> 00:38:25,675
I wasn't aware of it
at the time,
861
00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:28,780
but I think he was talking
about what happened
862
00:38:28,951 --> 00:38:31,097
to his wife
and his unborn child.
863
00:38:31,122 --> 00:38:34,172
Did he appear to be coherent?
864
00:38:34,305 --> 00:38:35,941
We were able to communicate.
865
00:38:36,147 --> 00:38:39,607
You were able
to reason with him?
866
00:38:39,632 --> 00:38:43,019
I asked him about his family,
if he had kids.
867
00:38:43,095 --> 00:38:45,635
And this struck
a chord with him?
868
00:38:45,660 --> 00:38:47,292
I believe so.
869
00:38:47,383 --> 00:38:51,738
He... he mentioned he had a son.
870
00:38:52,012 --> 00:38:53,882
Daniel.
871
00:38:54,053 --> 00:38:56,792
And eventually, he calmed down
and said he wanted to go home
872
00:38:56,817 --> 00:38:58,727
and be with him.
873
00:38:58,910 --> 00:39:00,460
Sounds like a man
who can understand
874
00:39:00,460 --> 00:39:01,920
the consequences of his actions.
875
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,003
Objection.
Counsel's editorializing.
876
00:39:04,028 --> 00:39:06,578
Sustained.
877
00:39:06,603 --> 00:39:11,183
When you went to arrest
the defendant,
878
00:39:11,208 --> 00:39:12,535
he fled.
879
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:13,850
Correct?
880
00:39:14,134 --> 00:39:15,120
Yes.
881
00:39:15,288 --> 00:39:17,706
So he knew that he was guilty.
882
00:39:18,436 --> 00:39:19,355
I suppose.
883
00:39:19,380 --> 00:39:21,848
And he still had the gun
with him
884
00:39:21,873 --> 00:39:23,206
when you placed him
under arrest?
885
00:39:23,293 --> 00:39:24,511
Yes, he did.
886
00:39:24,628 --> 00:39:28,638
And after you arrested him,
what did he say to you?
887
00:39:37,470 --> 00:39:39,441
Detective Shaw,
888
00:39:39,582 --> 00:39:41,922
what did the defendant
say to you?
889
00:39:45,706 --> 00:39:47,527
He said it was
an eye for an eye.
890
00:39:47,737 --> 00:39:49,987
So what he did
891
00:39:50,012 --> 00:39:52,316
was intentional?
892
00:39:52,341 --> 00:39:56,851
Killing Dr. Jeffers was
an act of willful revenge?
893
00:39:56,876 --> 00:39:58,836
I can't speak to that.
894
00:40:01,544 --> 00:40:04,910
I can testify to what he said.
895
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:07,850
"An eye for an eye."
896
00:40:11,613 --> 00:40:12,773
Thank you.
897
00:40:12,798 --> 00:40:14,558
Nothing further.
898
00:40:31,979 --> 00:40:33,191
Has the jury reached a verdict?
899
00:40:33,216 --> 00:40:35,006
We have, Your Honor.
900
00:40:35,139 --> 00:40:37,113
In the matter of People
versus Kenneth Cartwright,
901
00:40:37,138 --> 00:40:38,566
how do you find?
902
00:40:38,910 --> 00:40:40,200
We find the defendant
903
00:40:40,225 --> 00:40:43,145
guilty of murder
in the second degree.
904
00:40:45,019 --> 00:40:46,058
No. No.
905
00:40:46,321 --> 00:40:48,361
Members of the jury,
thank you for your service.
906
00:40:48,386 --> 00:40:49,476
You are excused.
