NARRATOR:
In the criminal justice system
2
00:00:02,869 --> 00:00:06,737
the people are represented by two
separate yet equally important groups,
3
00:00:06,806 --> 00:00:08,603
the police who investigate crime
4
00:00:08,675 --> 00:00:11,473
and the district attorneys
who prosecute the offenders.
5
00:00:11,544 --> 00:00:12,875
These are their stories.
6
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:18,173
I'm telling you, one day Connor was
the sweetest kid I've ever known.
7
00:00:18,251 --> 00:00:20,219
The next day, "No!" had
become an art form.
8
00:00:20,286 --> 00:00:22,186
He's discovering
his inner sense of self.
9
00:00:22,255 --> 00:00:23,654
More like his inner monster.
10
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:27,181
You just wait until Maggie plants her
feet in the middle of Toys "R" Us
11
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,353
and screams bloody murder.
12
00:00:29,429 --> 00:00:31,021
I'm serious, Amy.
13
00:00:31,097 --> 00:00:32,792
Kids don't need independence.
14
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:35,027
They need structure
and discipline.
15
00:00:35,101 --> 00:00:36,329
Makes 'em feel safe.

(GASPING) Amy?
19
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:48,909
Please, call 911!
Is she okay?
20
00:00:48,982 --> 00:00:50,210
Just call!
21
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:54,115
(CHILDREN CRYING)
Amy! Amy!
22
00:00:54,821 --> 00:00:57,381
Just hang on.
I'm getting an ambulance.
23
00:00:59,459 --> 00:01:01,950
COP: Female victim, Amy Lane,
took one to the neck.
24
00:01:02,128 --> 00:01:04,995
She was walking her baby with
her friend, Tracy Underwood.
25
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:08,592
The friend says she heard a shot,
looked over, Amy was on the ground.
26
00:01:08,668 --> 00:01:10,966
Any other witnesses?
Just a restaurant owner.
27
00:01:11,037 --> 00:01:12,037
I got him.
28
00:01:15,041 --> 00:01:16,440
BRISCOE: What've we got?
29
00:01:17,811 --> 00:01:20,211
The shot looks through
and through.
30
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,578
Where'd the slug wind up?
We can't find it.
31
00:01:22,649 --> 00:01:24,640
No shell casings either.
32
00:01:24,717 --> 00:01:26,446
Any idea what kind of weapon?
33
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:27,543
Shot came from a distance.
34
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:30,589
So with no slug
or shell casing...
35
00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:32,022
And where was the shooter?
36
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,221
If we knew which way she was
facing before she got hit,
37
00:01:35,295 --> 00:01:37,354
maybe we could figure
the angle of the shot.
38
00:01:38,031 --> 00:01:41,398
I was leaning in my stroller. I
didn't see what she was doing.
39
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:44,267
I was opening up my restaurant.
40
00:01:44,337 --> 00:01:46,635
How about where
the shot came from?
41
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:48,105
Over there, maybe?
42
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:50,269
What do you think?
I don't know.
43
00:01:50,343 --> 00:01:51,742
You were opening up,
weren't you?
44
00:01:51,811 --> 00:01:54,006
I think it was from over there.
45
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,981
Has anyone called Amy's husband?
What about the baby?
46
00:01:57,050 --> 00:01:59,575
Uh, the officer will take care of the baby.
How can we reach her husband?
47
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:02,849
Uh, he's a consultant with
McMurtry & Company.
48
00:02:03,623 --> 00:02:05,181
Okay. Thanks.
49
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:08,556
What'd you find out? Could've
been a stray bullet.
50
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:11,420
Six inches to the right,
she'd still be here.
51
00:02:11,498 --> 00:02:14,934
Six inches to the right and Lincoln
would've seen the end of the play.

(SIGHS)
53
00:03:08,054 --> 00:03:10,454
I can't believe
this is happening.
54
00:03:10,523 --> 00:03:13,151
Amy just had
an acupuncture appointment.
55
00:03:15,228 --> 00:03:17,594
She was having back problems
from lifting the baby.
56
00:03:19,566 --> 00:03:21,033
Was her appointment
in Chinatown?
57
00:03:22,202 --> 00:03:23,567
On Mott Street.
58
00:03:26,973 --> 00:03:29,669
How could this have happened
at 9:00 in the morning?
59
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:35,779
BRISCOE: Mr. Lane, I know this is a
difficult question at a time like this,
60
00:03:35,848 --> 00:03:39,147
but can you think of anybody who
might've wanted to hurt your wife?
61
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:41,119
I thought this was some
random thing.
62
00:03:41,621 --> 00:03:44,055
Well, we're not certain
of anything just yet.
63
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:47,382
We have to ask. Well, you're
going down the wrong road.
64
00:03:48,328 --> 00:03:50,523
How were things at home?
Everything was fine.
65
00:03:50,597 --> 00:03:53,065
Look, I know you have to ask
these questions. But, please,
66
00:03:54,634 --> 00:03:56,397
I wasn't cheating on my wife.
And, uh...
67
00:03:57,337 --> 00:04:00,773
(VOICE BREAKING) There isn't
anyone who wanted to hurt her.
68
00:04:01,975 --> 00:04:04,000
Okay, Mr. Lane.
69
00:04:05,345 --> 00:04:08,337
Uh, the restaurant owner from this morning
just showed up with his daughter.
70
00:04:08,414 --> 00:04:10,177
I put him in Interrogation Two.
71
00:04:14,487 --> 00:04:15,579
BRISCOE: Mr. Chin.
72
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:18,454
My father has something
to tell you.
73
00:04:18,725 --> 00:04:22,491
(SPEAKING IN MANDARIN)
74
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:26,526
He knows something about the
shooting that happened this morning.
75
00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,032
Is that true, Mr. Chin?
76
00:04:33,973 --> 00:04:36,635
Sir, if you saw something,
we could use your help.
77
00:04:37,610 --> 00:04:40,010
What about my family?
Who will help them?
78
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:42,476
If you talk to us
we can protect you.
79
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:44,116
If you don't...
80
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:47,842
The Ghost Dragons.
81
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,945
They were extorting
my restaurant.
82
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:52,014
Last week I didn't
have enough money.
83
00:04:52,158 --> 00:04:54,251
They said I would pay
one way or another.
84
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:56,192
Maybe they did this to warn me.
85
00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:58,230
You did the right thing,
Mr. Chin.

Oh, you must be

88
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:17,115

morning on Catherine Street.

00:05:17,183 --> 00:05:19,413
Really? Hadn't heard.

00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:21,817
Yeah, that wouldn't make you
much of a Dai Lo, now would it,

going on in your territory?

another shooting on Powell Street.

WOMAN: I was standing in line
behind him. He just collapsed.
99
00:05:50,650 --> 00:05:53,084
Did you hear the shot? I thought
it was a car backfiring.
100
00:05:53,152 --> 00:05:55,352
You know where it came from?
Definitely from over there.
101
00:05:56,422 --> 00:05:58,356
Hey, get CSU across the street.
102
00:05:58,424 --> 00:05:59,789
We checked, Detective.
Nothing.

Well, check again.

00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:03,357
Did you see anything
after the shooting?

This looks like your slug.

Could be a.243
or a 7-milimeter.
108
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:15,238
Rifle?
Definitely a rifle.
109
00:06:17,777 --> 00:06:20,075
BRISCOE: Same neighborhood,
same general scenario.
110
00:06:20,146 --> 00:06:22,512
Shot from out of nowhere,
victim goes down.
111
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,345
One of them hit in the neck,
one in the head.
112
00:06:24,417 --> 00:06:26,385
They both can't be
stray bullets.
113
00:06:26,452 --> 00:06:27,612
No witnesses?
114
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,018
Plenty of people see the victim go down.
Nobody sees the shooter.

We're putting them in
lineups on the extortion.

00:06:33,793 --> 00:06:37,024
But the second shooting doesn't seem
to have any relation to a restaurant.
118

Well, what about some kind of hit? Is there
any connection between the two victims?

He's an accountant.
She's a mom.
120
00:06:42,535 --> 00:06:44,093
Maybe he did her taxes.

each other socially?

interested in embarrassing

Mr. Spelling or his family. We just
want to find out who killed him.

Mr. Spelling was not
having an affair.

that you would come in here

I want to know where they were standing,
what they heard, what they were doing.

Yes, ma'am.
ED: What'cha got for us, Wes?
148
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:55,598
Trying to figure out
where your shot came from.
149
00:07:55,675 --> 00:07:56,675
Here, hold this.
150
00:07:57,276 --> 00:08:00,302
He was DOA so the medics didn't
touch him, mess up the wound.
151
00:08:00,379 --> 00:08:02,099
Now, witnesses say
he was facing the street,
152
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,048
writing on a clipboard,
when he got hit.
153
00:08:04,116 --> 00:08:06,482
I already ran a probe into
the wound measured the angle.
154
00:08:06,552 --> 00:08:09,612
Now, based on that calculation...
Where was the bastard?
155
00:08:10,056 --> 00:08:11,421
That roof.
156
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:16,120
Loo, we got gunshot residue
over here.
157
00:08:20,533 --> 00:08:22,501
So the guy took his shot
from here.
158
00:08:26,372 --> 00:08:28,306
And either he goes
down the stairs
159
00:08:28,374 --> 00:08:30,672
or across a couple of rooftops.
160
00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:33,803

this note taped to the wall

00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,313

This guy took out each of his

169
00:08:58,638 --> 00:09:01,238
That means he knows what he's doing.
Any link between these people?
170
00:09:01,274 --> 00:09:03,708
Just that they were shot
within a ten-block radius.
171
00:09:03,776 --> 00:09:05,744
Other than that,
it looks random.
172
00:09:06,412 --> 00:09:07,436
Wonderful.
173
00:09:07,513 --> 00:09:10,573
I think it's time we shut down Lower Manhattan
like we did when the towers went down.
174
00:09:10,650 --> 00:09:13,312
If we do that, sir, we'll
have panic on our hands.
175
00:09:13,386 --> 00:09:15,306
I at least want that area
swarming with manpower.
176
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:17,084
All RDOs have been canceled.
177
00:09:17,156 --> 00:09:18,783
Everyone's pulling double tours.
178
00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:22,692
The Commissioner wants observation posts
set up with views of the rooftops.
179
00:09:23,663 --> 00:09:25,824
Does the media know
about the note?
180
00:09:25,898 --> 00:09:28,731
My sources at the local news
outlets say yes.
181
00:09:28,801 --> 00:09:32,259
Okay, Lieutenant, you'll continue
to run the team, for now.
182

side of Powell Street.
185
00:09:47,687 --> 00:09:49,917
ED: Looks like a cable guy.
Better make sure.
186
00:09:49,989 --> 00:09:52,514

of Powell and Mott.

a possible suspect for...
188
00:09:56,429 --> 00:09:59,023
ED: Eight million people
in this city and one lunatic.
189
00:09:59,098 --> 00:10:01,066
How come I don't like
these odds?
190
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:02,998
For once, I'm glad
the house always wins.
191
00:10:03,069 --> 00:10:05,469

VAN BUREN: Victim's name
is Hayley Sanders, 14.
199
00:10:34,734 --> 00:10:36,133
She just got out of school.
200
00:10:36,202 --> 00:10:37,965
One shot from across the street.
201
00:10:38,037 --> 00:10:39,265
Anybody see the shooter?
202
00:10:39,338 --> 00:10:42,239
Three kids saw suspicious men
leave different buildings.
203
00:10:42,675 --> 00:10:45,200
This guy's like a ghost.
We blanket uptown,
204
00:10:46,078 --> 00:10:48,876
he moves downtown for some fresh blood.
SERGEANT: Lieutenant.
205
00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:52,476
We found this note
on the roof at 432.
206
00:10:52,985 --> 00:10:55,215
"Me four, police zero."
207
00:10:55,287 --> 00:10:56,720
At least he knows how to count.
208
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:58,684
I want a shrink to see this.
209
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:03,257
There's something perplexing
about these notes.
210
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:05,364
Maybe because they were
written by a lunatic.
211
00:11:05,431 --> 00:11:07,058
Actually, they weren't.
212
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:08,964
At least, one of them wasn't.
213
00:11:09,035 --> 00:11:12,903
Random killers tend to be one of
a few distinct personalities.
214
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:15,463
"Someone stop the voices."
That's a schizophrenic.
215
00:11:15,541 --> 00:11:17,771
But "Me four,
police zero" isn't?
216
00:11:17,877 --> 00:11:18,935
That's a taunt.
217
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:21,673
Forensics says that paper
and the printer that he used
218
00:11:21,747 --> 00:11:24,011
are identical, so it's
gotta be the same guy.
219
00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:26,608
The notes are psychologically
incongruous.
220
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:29,814
Maybe he forgot he was nuts
when he wrote the second note.
221
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,382
Well, if he's not crazy why would
he want us to think he was?
222
00:11:33,726 --> 00:11:34,954
To throw us off.
223
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:37,393
Random killers have
no personal motive.
224
00:11:37,463 --> 00:11:38,703
VAN BUREN:
What if this guy did?
225
00:11:38,764 --> 00:11:41,324
He could be trying to camouflage one
killing with a bunch of others.
226
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,028
Well, if that's true, he'd have
to know where his real victim
227
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:47,072
was gonna be at a certain
time and a certain place.
228
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:48,538
Look, go back to the families.
229
00:11:48,607 --> 00:11:51,167
See if any of these
victims had a routine.
230
00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:55,874
Charlie didn't gamble.
231
00:11:56,015 --> 00:11:58,745
Maybe a beer to wash down some
potato chips during a ball game.
232
00:11:59,285 --> 00:12:01,446
Paid the bills the
same day they came.
233
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:05,323
He was compulsive like that. I guess
that's why he was good at his job.
234
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:07,655
How long was he with
the power company?
235
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,427
Twenty-three years.
236
00:12:09,495 --> 00:12:11,463
Had he worked at
that site for a while?
237
00:12:11,697 --> 00:12:13,494
For the last three months.
238
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:17,198
Was your husband having any problems
we should know about, Mrs. Rodriguez?
239
00:12:17,269 --> 00:12:20,534

difficulties, trouble at work.
240

No.

Well, wait a second.
242
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:26,635
There... There's a guy that Charlie
was always complaining about.
243
00:12:26,712 --> 00:12:28,236
What, they didn't get along?
244
00:12:29,515 --> 00:12:32,416
This jerk...
This jerk had an attitude.
245
00:12:32,752 --> 00:12:34,310
Wouldn't hold up his end
of the work.
246
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:36,684
Always had to leave early
for one reason or another.
247
00:12:36,789 --> 00:12:38,916
Did your husband tell you
this jerk's name?
248
00:12:40,326 --> 00:12:43,159
Capshaw.
He just called him Capshaw.

of questions, Herman. About what?

And, uh, close the door.

You mind if we come in?

You know, it's not a good
time for me right now.

Oh? When is a good time?
We'll come back.
268
00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:32,339
We could meet for coffee.
That'd work for me.

a smartass, Mr. Capshaw.

Give me your card,
I'll call you tomorrow.

always seems to slip people's minds.

Look, I can understand you don't want
to do this with your boy around,
273
00:13:44,023 --> 00:13:45,923
so maybe you want to take a ride
with us down to the precinct.

00:13:46,025 --> 00:13:47,390
Am I under arrest, Detective?
275

to go with you unless I'm under arrest.

According to the Marines, he was
honorably discharged in '93.
280
00:14:11,817 --> 00:14:13,751
Served most of his tour
in the Philippines.
281
00:14:13,819 --> 00:14:15,684
So he knows his
way around a rifle.
282
00:14:15,754 --> 00:14:19,246
It gets better! He got the highest sharp
shooting rating the Marines have to offer.
283
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:21,259
And you didn't pick
him up because?
284
00:14:21,327 --> 00:14:23,056
He's a stickler
for the Bill of Rights.
285
00:14:23,128 --> 00:14:25,596
Well, get a car on his residence.
We already did.
286

must be keeping in game shape.

are too short for a rifle.

00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:50,279
Would a Remington 700 qualify?
Oh, absolutely.

in the city who...

workin' our way down the list.

00:17:15,768 --> 00:17:17,668
He's also innocent
until proven guilty.
338
00:17:17,736 --> 00:17:20,899
The murder weapon was found in Mr.
Capshaw's cabin in the Catskills.
339
00:17:20,973 --> 00:17:23,567
I know you said not to say anything,
Your Honor, but may I speak?
340
00:17:23,642 --> 00:17:26,975
JUDGE: Sit down! That
man killed my daughter.
341
00:17:28,047 --> 00:17:30,106
This isn't the
right time, ma'am.
342
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:34,651
I'm just asking that you not
release him from jail, that's all.
343
00:17:35,421 --> 00:17:38,254
He isn't going anywhere, ma'am.
ROWEN: Oh, Judge, I object.
344
00:17:38,524 --> 00:17:40,958
I haven't even made my bail application
you've already made up your mind.
345
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:43,517
You're right. Remand.
(BANGS GAVEL)
346
00:17:44,930 --> 00:17:46,454
ROWEN: I had planned on
asking you what it would take
347
00:17:46,532 --> 00:17:48,056
to get the death penalty
off the table.
348
00:17:49,501 --> 00:17:51,526
Only Mr. Capshaw
won't play along?
349
00:17:51,603 --> 00:17:54,766
He's got this one thing nagging at him.
He says he's innocent.
350
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,831
I did not kill those people.
351
00:17:58,077 --> 00:17:59,635
The evidence...
What, the rifle?
352
00:18:00,913 --> 00:18:03,074
The cabin was wide open
all the time.
353
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:05,883
Anyone could've stolen it.
To kill your boss?
354
00:18:05,951 --> 00:18:08,784
Like I'm the only one who didn't
get along with Rodriguez?
355
00:18:09,788 --> 00:18:12,723
Everyone at work
knew I had a cabin upstate.
356
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,887
Call us if anything changes.
357
00:18:20,399 --> 00:18:22,993
What other evidence do we have
linking him to the shootings?
358
00:18:23,068 --> 00:18:24,660
You don't actually believe him?
359
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:28,194
What scares me are those two little words
that pay a defense attorney's rent.
360
00:18:28,273 --> 00:18:30,173
Not guilty?
Reasonable doubt.
361
00:18:30,242 --> 00:18:31,436
What about the notes?
362
00:18:31,510 --> 00:18:33,478
They were written on
a computer, only Capshaw
363
00:18:33,545 --> 00:18:35,979
didn't have one
in his apartment or cabin.
364
00:18:36,048 --> 00:18:38,448
The two little words are
getting louder and louder.
365
00:18:39,151 --> 00:18:41,051
I'll talk to Forensics.
366
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,545
So, I contacted
the Secret Service.
367
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:46,591
They have the largest investigative
database of paper and ink in the world.
368
00:18:46,658 --> 00:18:49,821
Anyway, the notes were
printed on an HP Deskjet.
369
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,927
Great. I could have written them.
I doubt it.
370
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:55,024
I was joking.
I wasn't.
371
00:18:55,234 --> 00:18:57,168
Even your office
spends more on paper.
372
00:18:57,236 --> 00:19:00,763
Now, this is not quite
commercial grade.
373
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:04,275
Uh, it came from a mill
in Lawrence, Massachusetts
374
00:19:04,343 --> 00:19:06,402
that does not distribute
to retailers.
375
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:09,811
Their only local contract is with
the New York City Public Schools.
376
00:19:10,082 --> 00:19:12,744
Now, either Capshaw
is younger than he looks...
377
00:19:13,418 --> 00:19:15,579
Or his son wrote the notes.
378
00:19:19,358 --> 00:19:21,019
He's in my third period
math class
379
00:19:21,093 --> 00:19:23,118
and fifth period
computer science.
380
00:19:23,195 --> 00:19:24,628
Always does his homework.
381
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:26,425
Solid B+ student.
382
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:27,692
What about friends?
383
00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:30,360
I couldn't tell you. If he
had any, I didn't notice.
384
00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:32,835
The kids team up
for certain projects.
385
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:34,634
Justin always worked alone.
386
00:19:34,706 --> 00:19:36,435
The other kids didn't
want to work with him?
387
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,409
Actually, I got the feeling he
didn't want to work with them.
388
00:19:39,478 --> 00:19:41,343
Uh, right...
Right here.
389
00:19:42,514 --> 00:19:45,176
This... This is
where Justin sits.
390
00:19:46,318 --> 00:19:48,286
Do you mind?
Oh, help yourself.
391
00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:57,284
So, you really think
Justin's dad was the sniper?
392
00:19:58,664 --> 00:20:00,529
There's a good chance.
393
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,225
It just goes to show you can't
ever tell about people.
394
00:20:03,302 --> 00:20:05,270
He seemed like one
of the good ones.
395
00:20:05,337 --> 00:20:07,100
Never missed a
parent-teacher conference.
396
00:20:07,172 --> 00:20:09,834
Very concerned about
Justin's progress.
397
00:20:10,909 --> 00:20:13,070
It's all kind of depressing.
398
00:20:14,413 --> 00:20:15,413
Thank you.
399
00:20:17,316 --> 00:20:18,316
SERENA: Jack!
400
00:20:19,017 --> 00:20:20,985
Forensics confirmed
that the notes were written
401
00:20:21,053 --> 00:20:22,987
on the paper from
Justin Capshaw's school.
402
00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:26,019
This a copy of the first note.
403
00:20:26,091 --> 00:20:27,854
Look at the "i" in "voices".
404
00:20:28,260 --> 00:20:29,693
It's not dotted.
405
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:32,590
This is what I printed from
Justin's computer at school.
406
00:20:33,899 --> 00:20:35,423
No dot here either.
407
00:20:35,934 --> 00:20:37,765
Justin had to have
written the notes.
408
00:20:38,503 --> 00:20:40,494
Call Van Buren.
409
00:20:42,007 --> 00:20:44,066
PARKMAN: Come on. We both know
what you're trying to do.
410
00:20:44,142 --> 00:20:46,076
Squeeze the kid
to get to his old man.
411
00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:47,805
You should be
ashamed of yourself.
412
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:50,842
My dad didn't kill anyone.
413
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:53,543
PARKMAN:
You see? Nothin' to squeeze.
414
00:20:54,219 --> 00:20:57,211
Actually, Justin, we know you helped
your father kill those people.
415
00:20:57,356 --> 00:21:01,315
Hold on. I'm still back on my client
saying his dad didn't kill anyone.
416
00:21:01,393 --> 00:21:03,987
Then why did your client write
the notes we found at the scene?
417
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,399
I can help you, Justin.
418
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:11,262
If all you did was
write those notes,
419
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:13,698
we can cut a deal
right here and now.
420
00:21:14,239 --> 00:21:16,537
You'd never have to see
the inside of a prison cell.
421
00:21:18,810 --> 00:21:20,641
My dad didn't shoot
those people.
422
00:21:20,712 --> 00:21:22,942
Did your father tell
you to say that? No!
423
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:26,917
He didn't kill those people.
424
00:21:29,755 --> 00:21:30,755
I did.
425
00:21:36,728 --> 00:21:39,663
Jack, I think we better
regroup later.
426
00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:49,069
It's been through the lab twice.
Two sets of prints on the rifle.
427
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:50,938
Capshaw and his kid Justin.
428
00:21:52,077 --> 00:21:53,977
Not what you wanted to hear.
429
00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:56,013
I was hopin' you'd just
found the father's.
430
00:21:56,548 --> 00:21:59,540
There is one thing. Does either
one of them wear glasses?
431
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:00,710
Why?
432
00:22:00,786 --> 00:22:03,846
Because the last person to shoot this
baby had less than perfect eyesight.
433
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:07,651
How can you tell? The focus
adjustment on the scope.
434
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:10,160
It's like binoculars. As you
bring the image in closer,
435
00:22:10,228 --> 00:22:13,493
you need to refocus. If you wear
glasses, you need to take them off
436
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:15,726
and use the focus to make
the image clear.
437
00:22:15,934 --> 00:22:18,164
I'll take your word for it.
Okay.
438
00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:20,534
Well, the focus adjustment
here was set for someone
439
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,436
with vision in the 2,200 range.
440
00:22:22,574 --> 00:22:24,508
Couldn't it have
been moved by CSU?
441
00:22:24,576 --> 00:22:26,339
Maybe a little,
but not that much.
442
00:22:26,411 --> 00:22:29,869
And there's one other thing the ocular
lens, where you focus the cross hairs
443
00:22:29,948 --> 00:22:32,348
it was also focused for
someone who'd have to struggle
444
00:22:32,451 --> 00:22:34,009
to see the "E" on the eye chart.
445
00:22:34,086 --> 00:22:36,953
And for this, you'd need
to loosen a ring
446
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,820
make the adjustment,
and tighten the ring back up.
447
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:45,781
I don't want to believe it either, but
Justin's the only one that wears glasses.
448
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:49,857
Any history of violent behavior?
No.
449
00:22:53,171 --> 00:22:55,605
Where's Capshaw's
military record?
450
00:22:56,608 --> 00:22:59,338
Let's hope Herman Capshaw
wears contact lenses.
451
00:22:59,444 --> 00:23:02,538
He was a marksman, Jack. I'm
sure he had pretty good vision.
452
00:23:02,614 --> 00:23:05,310
A freshman in high school
doesn't just get up one morning
453
00:23:05,384 --> 00:23:08,785
and decide to climb up on the roof
and mow down people in the street.
454
00:23:11,857 --> 00:23:13,882
Damn.
Perfect vision?
455
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:14,959
20-10.
456
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:17,425
Maybe his father talked around
the breakfast table about
457
00:23:17,496 --> 00:23:20,021
how he could kill Rodriguez
and get away with it.
458
00:23:20,766 --> 00:23:23,599
How old is Justin Capshaw?
Fifteen. Why?
459
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:27,160
Herman Capshaw was stationed in the
Philippines with his wife and son
460
00:23:27,239 --> 00:23:29,469
from 1987 to 1993.
461
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:34,201
Their only son was
born there in 1988.
462
00:23:34,613 --> 00:23:35,944
That would make him 15.
463
00:23:36,047 --> 00:23:39,244
That same wife and son
died in a car crash
464
00:23:39,317 --> 00:23:41,751
in the Philippines in 1993.
465
00:23:44,823 --> 00:23:46,950
JACK: You'll be happy to know
I believe you, Justin.
466
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:50,720
Will you let my dad go now?
467
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:53,296
I'd be happy to do that
if I knew where he was.
468
00:23:54,099 --> 00:23:55,619
What are you trying
to pull here, Jack?
469
00:23:56,868 --> 00:23:59,336
Herman Capshaw
isn't Justin's father.
470
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:01,205
Liar!
471
00:24:01,573 --> 00:24:04,736
Herman Capshaw's only child
was named Herbert.
472
00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,278
He died in a car crash in 1993.
473
00:24:07,345 --> 00:24:09,973
And what's that got to do with the
price of pickles in Park Slope?
474
00:24:10,048 --> 00:24:13,176
If I'm going to charge your client
with four counts of murder,
475
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:15,877
it would help to know his name.
476
00:24:16,354 --> 00:24:17,446
He adopted me.
477
00:24:17,522 --> 00:24:19,888
There's no record of that, Justin.
JUSTIN: She's lying.
478
00:24:21,426 --> 00:24:22,426
Okay.
479
00:24:23,228 --> 00:24:25,458
We'll just charge Herman Capshaw
480
00:24:25,530 --> 00:24:27,964
with interference with
parental rights. No!
481
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:33,097
My whole family died
when our house burned down.
482
00:24:36,908 --> 00:24:38,341
Your mom and dad?
483
00:24:41,213 --> 00:24:42,544
And my sister.
484
00:24:43,815 --> 00:24:45,375
Jennie wasn't even
supposed to be there.
485
00:24:45,417 --> 00:24:47,908
She was supposed to be
in horseback riding class.
486
00:24:50,021 --> 00:24:51,750
Herman took me in.
487
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:54,883
He took care of me.
488
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:58,893
That's why I shot those people.
489
00:25:00,565 --> 00:25:02,590
Rodriguez was going to fire him.
490
00:25:03,168 --> 00:25:05,261
For once, I got to help him.
491
00:25:07,606 --> 00:25:08,937
What's your real name, son?
492
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:12,532
Justin Capshaw.
493
00:25:19,284 --> 00:25:22,185
The Marines tell me that Capshaw
has no brothers or sisters.
494
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:26,147
So he's not crazy Uncle Herman
down in the big city.
495
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:27,316
Unfortunately, no.
496
00:25:27,392 --> 00:25:30,555
And the police are checking records
of house fires with three victims.
497
00:25:30,662 --> 00:25:33,893
Justin's school records show that
he entered kindergarten in '93.
498
00:25:33,965 --> 00:25:37,230
Capshaw's super told Briscoe and Green
that's when he moved into his apartment.
499
00:25:37,636 --> 00:25:39,570
If only we knew where
he lived before that.
500
00:25:39,704 --> 00:25:42,764
We do. He bought the cabin
in '86 before he shipped out.
501
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:45,972
Does it really make a difference
what Justin's real name is?
502
00:25:46,044 --> 00:25:49,104
It wouldn't if he'd tell us.
The kid's hiding something,
503
00:25:50,982 --> 00:25:52,643
and I want to know what.
504
00:25:52,717 --> 00:25:55,413
Do you know how many little towns
there are in the Catskills?
505
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:58,320
No, but I'd bet there aren't that
many horseback riding schools.
506
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,492
Look, lady, this is not the IRS.
507
00:26:04,563 --> 00:26:06,121
I don't keep records.
508
00:26:06,197 --> 00:26:08,688
But you've been here ten years?
Seventeen.
509
00:26:09,768 --> 00:26:12,328
Is there any chance you remember
a student of yours named Jennie
510
00:26:12,404 --> 00:26:13,735
who died in a fire?
511
00:26:13,872 --> 00:26:15,601
I've never been
very good with names.
512
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:19,007
But something like that,
I think I would remember. Why?
513
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:21,977
We have a boy down in the city who
says he had a sister named Jennie
514
00:26:22,047 --> 00:26:25,949
who took riding lessons. But I'm
sure he's lying anyway. Thanks.
515
00:26:28,053 --> 00:26:30,021
His name wouldn't
be Justin, would it?
516
00:26:32,023 --> 00:26:33,023
Why?
517
00:26:33,625 --> 00:26:36,321
About ten years back
there was a Justin Lafferty.
518
00:26:36,394 --> 00:26:37,986
He went missing.
519
00:26:38,063 --> 00:26:40,554
He had a sister, Jennie.
She rode here.
520
00:26:40,632 --> 00:26:42,122
Is his family still around?
521
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,259
What's left of it, yeah.
522
00:26:44,402 --> 00:26:47,235
Jake, he, uh, had one too many,
and then he had a head-on
523
00:26:47,305 --> 00:26:50,172
with a beer truck
going south on the Thruway.
524
00:26:51,543 --> 00:26:54,910
That was maybe a year
after this thing with Justin.
525
00:26:55,547 --> 00:26:58,311
Look, if you're planning on
talking to Meg, I'd take it slow.
526
00:26:58,383 --> 00:27:01,147
I don't know that
she's gotten over this, yet.
527
00:27:02,721 --> 00:27:06,350
So what does a New York City
district attorney want with me?
528
00:27:06,424 --> 00:27:08,756
I just have a few questions,
Mrs. Lafferty.
529
00:27:09,127 --> 00:27:11,561
This is about that Lloyd
Garrison, isn't it?
530
00:27:11,630 --> 00:27:14,292
You know, I always thought he...
Stop it, Mom.
531
00:27:14,899 --> 00:27:16,662
Just because he has long hair.
532
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:21,138
He's always going down to the city
for no reason I can think of.
533
00:27:22,173 --> 00:27:24,300
His hair doesn't bother
me, it's the tattoo.
534
00:27:24,376 --> 00:27:26,970
And she expects me to believe
she was at Woodstock.
535
00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:32,782
This doesn't have anything
to do with Lloyd Garrison.
536
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:40,181
Oh!
537
00:27:46,765 --> 00:27:47,765
It's Justin.
538
00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:00,174
Ten years.
539
00:28:01,246 --> 00:28:02,372
We thought he was...
540
00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:06,114
I can't imagine what you've
been through, Mrs. Lafferty.
541
00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:09,113
Is he...
542
00:28:10,055 --> 00:28:11,488
Physically, he's fine.
543
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:13,787
How could he be fine?
544
00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:17,394
Some pervert kept him
locked up for ten years!
545
00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:19,963
There's no evidence he was abused.
Then why?
546
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:23,762
What did he want Justin for?
547
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:25,469
(DOOR OPENS)
548
00:28:36,915 --> 00:28:38,576
Oh, my God.
549
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:42,648
Justin.
550
00:28:45,123 --> 00:28:46,317
Who is this?
551
00:28:47,625 --> 00:28:50,355
It's us, Justin.
Jennie and Mom.
552
00:28:51,863 --> 00:28:53,387
Where's my dad?
553
00:28:54,332 --> 00:28:56,027
Dad died, Justin.
554
00:29:00,772 --> 00:29:02,239
What... What is she
talking about?
555
00:29:02,841 --> 00:29:06,937
Your real father. Herman
Capshaw is my real father.
556
00:29:07,946 --> 00:29:10,073
I... I don't know
these people!
557
00:29:11,850 --> 00:29:15,342
Justin... I don't know
why you brought me here!
558
00:29:16,321 --> 00:29:17,982
Can I go now?
559
00:29:21,826 --> 00:29:25,091
I want the bastard
who did that to my son dead!
560
00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:35,636
ARTHUR: Ten years!
561
00:29:36,407 --> 00:29:39,433
I used to sweat when Bobby went
off to summer camp for six weeks.
562
00:29:40,211 --> 00:29:41,872
I don't know what's worse,
thinking your kid is dead,
563
00:29:41,946 --> 00:29:44,506
or finding him alive
but not recognizing you.
564
00:29:45,083 --> 00:29:48,541
Take it from a parent, you prefer
them alive, no matter what.
565
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:52,384
Capshaw's attorney called again. He
wants to deal on the kidnapping.
566
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,225
What are you gonna do?
Let him sweat for a while.
567
00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:59,262
How am I going to
prosecute this kid, Arthur?
568
00:29:59,330 --> 00:30:02,993
You're going to remember the people
lying dead on the street, that's how.

570
00:30:07,005 --> 00:30:08,165
Thank you.

00:30:10,441 --> 00:30:13,342
Notice of Parkman's intent to
assert an affirmative defense.
572
00:30:13,411 --> 00:30:15,879
Not guilty by reason
of mental defect.
573
00:30:15,947 --> 00:30:16,947
There's a shock.
574
00:30:20,852 --> 00:30:22,410
JUSTIN: Why would you
think I'm crazy?
575
00:30:23,021 --> 00:30:24,488
I didn't say I did.
576
00:30:24,556 --> 00:30:26,319
Well, you're a shrink,
aren't you?
577
00:30:27,292 --> 00:30:31,991
Your attorney thinks you may not be
responsible for killing those people.
578
00:30:32,931 --> 00:30:34,558
Because I'm nuts?
579
00:30:36,668 --> 00:30:39,637
Tell me about Herman Capshaw.
580
00:30:40,471 --> 00:30:42,063
He's the best.
581
00:30:42,707 --> 00:30:44,038
Tell me how.
582
00:30:45,844 --> 00:30:46,844
Okay.
583
00:30:47,512 --> 00:30:49,537
There was this one time
back in third grade,
584
00:30:49,614 --> 00:30:52,276
these kids were picking on me.
He took care of it.
585
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:57,080
He hit them? Come on.
We were in third grade.
586
00:30:57,722 --> 00:31:00,602
He went right to their parents and told
'em to make their kids cut it out.
587
00:31:01,059 --> 00:31:03,459
And they did?
You better believe it.
588
00:31:04,629 --> 00:31:06,597
Dad was always
there like that for me.
589
00:31:06,831 --> 00:31:09,595
He's not your dad, Justin.
Why not?
590
00:31:10,835 --> 00:31:13,998
He took care of me, he fed me,
he bought whatever I needed.
591
00:31:14,072 --> 00:31:17,508
Justin, he took you away
from your real parents.
592
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:19,533
They're dead.
593
00:31:24,649 --> 00:31:27,277
Dad loves me, and I love him.
594
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:31,555
Justin...
595
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:34,620
What do you do
when you're not in school?
596
00:31:35,326 --> 00:31:36,816
What do you mean?
Oh, I don't know.
597
00:31:36,961 --> 00:31:39,429
Do you play
ball with your friends?
598
00:31:40,265 --> 00:31:43,496
With my dad.
Do you go on dates?
599
00:31:44,135 --> 00:31:46,160
Dad says school's
more important.
600
00:31:46,437 --> 00:31:47,904
What about friends?
601
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:50,601
Dad's all the friends I need.
602
00:31:51,776 --> 00:31:54,040
He does for me,
and I do for him.
603
00:31:57,482 --> 00:32:00,280
Did he ask you to
kill those people?
604
00:32:00,351 --> 00:32:02,444
How many times
do I have to say it?
605
00:32:03,121 --> 00:32:05,385
Mr. Rodriguez
was going to fire him.
606
00:32:06,991 --> 00:32:09,152
So you killed him?
That's right.
607
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:12,256
What about the other people?
608
00:32:15,466 --> 00:32:17,900
I tried to throw
the police off track.
609
00:32:17,969 --> 00:32:20,437
I feel bad about what I did,
but I had to do it.
610
00:32:20,638 --> 00:32:21,832
Why?
611
00:32:23,007 --> 00:32:25,498
He's my dad, and
he needed my help.
612
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:30,639
OLIVET: Since Capshaw was
discharged from the Marines,
613
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:32,683
he's isolated himself.
614
00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:35,617
He's become what we call
an anomic personality.
615
00:32:35,687 --> 00:32:37,484
A man alone in a big city.
616
00:32:37,555 --> 00:32:39,785
Only we're dealing
with the boy here.
617
00:32:39,857 --> 00:32:42,291
Capshaw kept Justin
just as isolated.
618
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,989
He sheltered him from everything.
And that's bad?
619
00:32:46,064 --> 00:32:49,659
When it extinguishes all other
human contact, it is.
620
00:32:50,134 --> 00:32:53,069
Did he abuse Justin?
Emotionally, yes.
621
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:56,595
He induced trauma by telling
him his real family was dead.
622
00:32:56,674 --> 00:32:58,938
The trauma, combined
with the isolation
623
00:32:59,010 --> 00:33:01,274
created a relationship
of total dependency.
624
00:33:01,746 --> 00:33:04,146
Herman Capshaw
eases Justin's pain
625
00:33:04,215 --> 00:33:06,445
and Justin whacks
four innocent people.
626
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:10,613
To ease Capshaw's pain. It's a
form of Battered Child Syndrome.
627
00:33:11,122 --> 00:33:13,283
Are you recommending
we stick him in a hospital?
628
00:33:13,992 --> 00:33:16,756
I would if he didn't
kill anybody.
629
00:33:17,295 --> 00:33:20,924
But when he pulled the trigger, he
knew what he was doing was wrong,
630
00:33:21,699 --> 00:33:23,929
and he chose to do it anyway.
631
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:34,236
I've raised Justin like he was my own
son since he was five years old.
632
00:33:34,312 --> 00:33:35,745
But he's not your son?
633
00:33:36,581 --> 00:33:37,605
No.
634
00:33:38,182 --> 00:33:40,480
Let's put our cards
on the table, Mr. Capshaw.
635
00:33:40,551 --> 00:33:42,951
You were indicted by
the District Attorney's Office
636
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:45,387
for kidnapping Justin,
isn't that correct?
637
00:33:45,623 --> 00:33:47,386
CAPSHAW:
Yes. But it's not like that.
638
00:33:47,825 --> 00:33:49,622
I was a good father to him.
639
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:54,025
Did you agree to
plead guilty to kidnapping
640
00:33:54,532 --> 00:33:56,762
and as a part of
that plea agreement
641
00:33:56,834 --> 00:33:59,803
did you agree to testify
642
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:01,236
here today?
643
00:34:02,073 --> 00:34:03,073
Yes.
644
00:34:03,141 --> 00:34:06,338
Did you know a Mr. Charles Rodriguez?
Yes. He was my boss.
645
00:34:06,411 --> 00:34:08,845
And he was about to fire you?
Is that correct?
646
00:34:08,913 --> 00:34:11,711
Yes. Did you discuss
this with Justin?
647
00:34:13,284 --> 00:34:16,720
Yes, but he would never...
Yes or no, sir?
648
00:34:18,556 --> 00:34:19,556
Yes.
649
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:25,689
Did you ever mention to Justin
that you liked the Beatles?
650
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:28,027
Sure.
What did he do?
651
00:34:28,733 --> 00:34:31,634
He bought me the boxed set.
You never asked him for it?
652
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:34,031
I never asked him for anything.
653
00:34:34,806 --> 00:34:36,205
That's nice.
654
00:34:36,374 --> 00:34:38,569
What did you do when Justin
got a C in Chemistry?
655
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:41,773
I told him he'd never get
into a good college with C's.
656
00:34:41,846 --> 00:34:43,143
What did he do?
657
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,382
He studied his butt off
and got an A.
658
00:34:45,450 --> 00:34:47,782
And that made you happy?
Sure.
659
00:34:47,852 --> 00:34:50,616
He'd do anything to make you
happy, isn't that correct?
660
00:34:50,721 --> 00:34:52,086
What's going on here?
661
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:54,656
I was a good father.
662
00:34:55,259 --> 00:34:57,784
Justin does well in school.
He's not on drugs or in a gang.
663
00:34:57,862 --> 00:34:59,159
He's a good kid because of me.
664
00:34:59,230 --> 00:35:00,959
And he owed you
big time for that.
665
00:35:01,032 --> 00:35:03,193
Justin doesn't owe me anything.
I love him.
666
00:35:03,267 --> 00:35:05,360
You'd do anything for him?
That's right.
667
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,028
And he'd do anything for you?
668
00:35:08,606 --> 00:35:09,606
Yes.
669
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,109
PARKMAN: Nothing further.
670
00:35:20,017 --> 00:35:21,746
OLIVET:
Justin may have been abused.
671
00:35:21,819 --> 00:35:24,788
But abuse in and of itself
doesn't negate intent
672
00:35:24,856 --> 00:35:26,721
as defined in the penal code.
673
00:35:27,291 --> 00:35:30,488
The abuse in Justin's case may
have affected his personality,
674
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:33,496
but it certainly didn't
cause any mental defect
675
00:35:33,564 --> 00:35:36,328
that would have prevented him
from knowing right from wrong.
676
00:35:36,701 --> 00:35:39,898
JACK: Abused? Did Mr. Capshaw
hit the defendant?
677
00:35:40,204 --> 00:35:43,537
No. But emotional abuse
can be sufficient
678
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:45,508
to cause
Battered Child Syndrome.
679
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:47,840
Battered Child Syndrome?
Is that the equivalent
680
00:35:47,912 --> 00:35:50,244
of Battered Wife Syndrome, Doctor?
Yes.
681
00:35:50,314 --> 00:35:52,407
Isn't it true that
Battered Wife Syndrome
682
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:55,077
is often a valid defense
to a charge of murder?
683
00:35:55,219 --> 00:35:57,153
Of course. But in those cases,
684
00:35:57,221 --> 00:35:59,883
the wife kills the person
who's doing the battering.
685
00:35:59,957 --> 00:36:04,155
Justin killed people with whom
he had no personal contact.
686
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,961
Would you say that Justin was
dependent on Herman Capshaw?
687
00:36:13,037 --> 00:36:14,561
He felt he was.
688
00:36:15,273 --> 00:36:18,003
More so than in the normal
father-son relationship?
689
00:36:18,142 --> 00:36:20,235
Because of their total isolation
690
00:36:20,311 --> 00:36:22,370
from the rest of society,
I'd have to say yes.
691
00:36:22,446 --> 00:36:24,676
So if something, or someone,
692
00:36:24,815 --> 00:36:26,783
threatened the well-being
of Mr. Capshaw,
693
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,250
how would that affect Justin?
694
00:36:28,319 --> 00:36:31,152
It would feel like a
direct threat to him as well.
695
00:36:31,222 --> 00:36:33,190
And he'd feel compelled
to protect himself?
696
00:36:33,891 --> 00:36:34,891
I couldn't say.
697
00:36:35,793 --> 00:36:38,387
If I pointed
a gun at you, Dr. Olivet,
698
00:36:38,829 --> 00:36:41,423
wouldn't you try to shoot
me before I shot you?
699
00:36:41,933 --> 00:36:44,299
I suppose.
Of course you would.
700
00:36:51,409 --> 00:36:53,741
If you tell anyone that
his family is dead,
701
00:36:53,811 --> 00:36:55,403
that he'll never see them again,
702
00:36:55,479 --> 00:36:57,071
it certainly causes trauma.
703
00:36:57,148 --> 00:36:59,639
And if that someone Is a
five-year-old child, Dr. Diamond,
704
00:36:59,717 --> 00:37:02,379
how would he be affected?
It would be devastating.
705
00:37:02,453 --> 00:37:03,977
He would attach himself
emotionally
706
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:06,285
to the next caring person
he came into contact with.
707
00:37:06,424 --> 00:37:10,121
And that's why Justin became
totally dependent on Mr. Capshaw?
708
00:37:10,628 --> 00:37:11,925
The boy had no choice
709
00:37:11,996 --> 00:37:15,989
but to land in a symbiotic
relationship with Mr. Capshaw.
710
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:18,399
You said he had
no choice, Doctor?
711
00:37:18,469 --> 00:37:21,996
That is correct.
He would do whatever it takes
712
00:37:22,073 --> 00:37:23,597
to protect that relationship.
713
00:37:23,674 --> 00:37:25,005
Even kill?
714
00:37:25,643 --> 00:37:26,643
Yes.
715
00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:34,376
You're saying the defendant
had no choice
716
00:37:34,452 --> 00:37:37,046
in the shooting
of Mr. Rodriguez?
717
00:37:37,121 --> 00:37:38,884
Is that correct?
Yes.
718
00:37:38,956 --> 00:37:40,617
What about the other people?
719
00:37:41,092 --> 00:37:44,755
I don't know what you mean? He
killed three other innocent people.
720
00:37:45,396 --> 00:37:47,489
People who were no threat
721
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:50,159
to him or to Mr. Capshaw.
722
00:37:50,568 --> 00:37:52,058
How do you explain that?
723
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:56,267
In his mind, it was
necessary to protect...
724
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:59,832
Please! He chose to try
to get away with his crime.
725
00:38:00,878 --> 00:38:01,878
Isn't that so?

I mean...
730
00:38:21,098 --> 00:38:24,932
My old man was the worst son of a
bitch you could possibly meet,
731
00:38:26,337 --> 00:38:28,828
but if some nut had
grabbed me up,
732
00:38:30,908 --> 00:38:32,908
I can't say what kind of
person I would have become.

GUARD: You can't, miss.
JENNIE: I need to talk to him.
738
00:38:49,894 --> 00:38:52,488
Miss, please, I can't let you in.
I just need to talk to him.
739

It's okay, Fred.
740
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,327
How can you do this to us?
741
00:38:59,603 --> 00:39:01,093
Your brother killed four people.
742
00:39:01,172 --> 00:39:03,732
He was a good kid, a happy kid.
743
00:39:04,475 --> 00:39:07,342
He wouldn't have done this if that
lunatic hadn't taken him from us.
744
00:39:08,479 --> 00:39:09,673
This whole thing,
745
00:39:10,748 --> 00:39:13,342
it turned my father
into a drunk.
746
00:39:13,651 --> 00:39:15,710
It wasn't an accident,
Mr. McCoy.
747
00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:17,484
He killed himself.
748
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:22,023
My mother has been walking
around half-dead for ten years!
749
00:39:22,093 --> 00:39:24,687
Hasn't my family
suffered enough?
750
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:27,590
That's not my call, Jennie.
You bastard!
751
00:39:28,299 --> 00:39:30,164
That freak took him from us!
752
00:39:30,401 --> 00:39:32,699
Now you're doing it
all over again.
753
00:39:44,815 --> 00:39:47,340
You can't get me to say
anything bad about Dad.
754
00:39:48,152 --> 00:39:49,619
I wouldn't think of it.
755
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,888
The man gave you everything.
756
00:39:51,956 --> 00:39:52,956
That's right.
757
00:39:53,023 --> 00:39:55,116
You are what you are today
because of him.
758
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:58,454
He didn't make me shoot those people,
if that's what you're getting at.
759
00:39:59,029 --> 00:40:00,621
But he did teach you to shoot.
760
00:40:02,733 --> 00:40:05,531
He was rated an expert
marksman in the Marines.
761
00:40:07,104 --> 00:40:08,799
We went hunting together.
762
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:12,309
What did Mr. Capshaw tell you
about Charlie Rodriguez?
763
00:40:12,376 --> 00:40:13,809
He said he was a jerk.
764
00:40:14,278 --> 00:40:15,973
He was always picking on Dad,
765
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,878
but Dad couldn't do anything
because Charlie was the boss.
766
00:40:18,949 --> 00:40:21,281
Was Dad worried
about losing his job?
767
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:25,415
He said they went
over-budget on a site.
768
00:40:27,358 --> 00:40:28,586
Somebody had to go.
769
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:31,352
He knew Charlie would pick him.
770
00:40:31,629 --> 00:40:32,823
PARKMAN: And then what
would happen?
771
00:40:32,897 --> 00:40:36,333
JUSTIN: We'd end up without money
or food or a place to live.
772
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,460
And that's why you shot
Charlie Rodriguez?
773
00:40:40,337 --> 00:40:42,828
Dad worked hard his whole life.
774
00:40:44,241 --> 00:40:46,106
This jerk was going to ruin him.
775
00:40:46,844 --> 00:40:48,641
And you couldn't
let that happen?
776
00:40:49,213 --> 00:40:50,213
I love him.
777
00:40:52,516 --> 00:40:53,516
He loves me.
778
00:40:55,820 --> 00:40:56,820
PARKMAN: Thank you.
779
00:41:03,828 --> 00:41:05,193
Tell me about Amy Lane.
780
00:41:07,465 --> 00:41:10,093
Who? She's the first
person you killed.
781
00:41:14,839 --> 00:41:16,704
I... I didn't know her.
Nice lady.
782
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:19,002
She had a daughter.
783
00:41:19,777 --> 00:41:20,869
Just eight-months-old.
784
00:41:23,047 --> 00:41:26,312
How about Larry Spelling? We get
Counsel's point, Your Honor.
785
00:41:26,383 --> 00:41:30,547
The defense is willing to stipulate the
defendant shot three people at random.
786
00:41:30,621 --> 00:41:32,316
Move on, Mr. McCoy.
787
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:37,220
What's the worst thing
that could've happened
788
00:41:37,294 --> 00:41:39,728
if Charlie Rodriguez
had fired Mr. Capshaw?
789
00:41:39,797 --> 00:41:41,731
We could end up homeless.
790
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:44,167
The government could come
and take me away.
791
00:41:44,235 --> 00:41:46,430
And that scared you?
Yes!
792
00:41:46,804 --> 00:41:48,635
So you didn't shoot
Charlie Rodriguez
793
00:41:48,706 --> 00:41:51,937
to help Mr. Capshaw,
you did it for yourself.
794
00:41:53,611 --> 00:41:55,943
Huh?
Your attorney
795
00:41:56,013 --> 00:41:58,573
has been arguing that
you shot these people
796
00:41:58,649 --> 00:42:02,346
out of some compulsion
to protect Mr. Capshaw.
797
00:42:02,586 --> 00:42:04,577
But the truth is,
you were only thinking
798
00:42:04,655 --> 00:42:06,748
about yourself, isn't that so?
No!
799
00:42:11,028 --> 00:42:12,723
Dad would come and get me.
800
00:42:14,431 --> 00:42:15,898
We're family.
801
00:42:17,935 --> 00:42:19,596
Not like them.
802
00:42:25,442 --> 00:42:26,739
He loves me.
803
00:42:28,646 --> 00:42:30,045
He would come and get me.
804
00:42:45,262 --> 00:42:46,661
JUDGE: Have you
reached a verdict?
805
00:42:47,164 --> 00:42:49,359
We have.
How do you find?
806
00:42:49,767 --> 00:42:52,133
We find the defendant,
Justin Lafferty,
807
00:42:52,202 --> 00:42:55,171
not guilty by reason
of mental defect.
808
00:43:21,065 --> 00:43:23,795
The jury basically blamed
Capshaw for the murders.
809
00:43:23,934 --> 00:43:26,368
He did put the proverbial
loaded rifle in Justin's hand.
810
00:43:26,437 --> 00:43:27,665
And cocked the hammer.
811
00:43:27,738 --> 00:43:29,858
You don't actually think
the jury did the right thing?
812
00:43:29,873 --> 00:43:31,704
Why not? The kid's
as much a victim as...
813
00:43:31,775 --> 00:43:34,767
Please don't say the four dead people.
ARTHUR: Thank you.
814
00:43:34,845 --> 00:43:37,973
On my watch, someone points a rifle
at a crowd and pulls the trigger,
815
00:43:38,282 --> 00:43:41,774
at a minimum, gets to spend the
rest of his life in gray pajamas
816
00:43:41,852 --> 00:43:45,049
not being coddled
by a phalanx of white coats
817
00:43:45,122 --> 00:43:47,283
trying to fix
the poor, misguided soul.
818
00:43:47,358 --> 00:43:50,418
I never thought of a state mental
institution as a place to be coddled.
819
00:43:50,494 --> 00:43:51,756
It ain't Attica.
820
00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:54,764
There's always a chance Justin
can be rehabilitated, Arthur.
821
00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:57,357
Four dead?
822
00:43:57,434 --> 00:43:59,425
I don't think
he's earned that chance.
823
00:44:00,004 --> 00:44:03,098
And I also think my Senior
Prosecutor should agree with that.
824
00:44:03,173 --> 00:44:04,173
I do.
825
00:44:07,911 --> 00:44:08,911
But?
826
00:44:09,647 --> 00:44:10,647
I'm a father.
