1
00:00:04,329 --> 00:00:05,765
Previously on Bull...
2
00:00:05,809 --> 00:00:07,245
Arthur.
3
00:00:07,289 --> 00:00:09,943
Wasn't sure you'd remember me
after 12 years.
4
00:00:09,987 --> 00:00:13,469
-Have you got any new evidence?
-How about a signed confession?
5
00:00:13,512 --> 00:00:15,079
We need these commissioners
to grant parole
6
00:00:15,123 --> 00:00:17,690
to a guy who's been
convicted of double murder.
7
00:00:17,734 --> 00:00:19,214
My name is Leo Craddick,
8
00:00:19,257 --> 00:00:21,042
and I'm Arthur Craddick's son.
9
00:00:21,085 --> 00:00:23,261
12 years of prison is enough
to break most anyone's soul.
10
00:00:23,305 --> 00:00:24,828
Please extend
11
00:00:24,871 --> 00:00:26,960
this opportunity to him.
12
00:00:27,918 --> 00:00:29,311
Hey, Detective Kaminsky,
13
00:00:29,354 --> 00:00:31,356
cops who place innocent people
behind bars
14
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,792
need to face consequences.
15
00:00:32,836 --> 00:00:34,490
This young man
just threatened me.
16
00:00:35,926 --> 00:00:37,275
Leonard Craddick,
you are under arrest
17
00:00:37,319 --> 00:00:38,711
for the murder of
Detective Joseph Kaminsky.
18
00:00:38,755 --> 00:00:42,063
Anything you say ...minsky's dead.
19
00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:58,905
You gonna miss it?
20
00:01:00,864 --> 00:01:03,084
Not even a little.
21
00:01:03,127 --> 00:01:05,347
Bus usually comes
on the hour.
22
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,000
You might have
to wait a bit.
23
00:01:07,044 --> 00:01:08,567
My son's picking me up.
24
00:01:08,611 --> 00:01:10,439
Guard inside just
texted him for me.
25
00:01:10,482 --> 00:01:12,484
Got it all planned out.
26
00:01:12,528 --> 00:01:15,618
Gonna stop at the first
open pizza place we see.
27
00:01:15,661 --> 00:01:18,011
Good luck, Craddick.
28
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:30,241
Says here
29
00:01:30,285 --> 00:01:31,764
Kaminsky was parked
across the street
30
00:01:31,808 --> 00:01:33,157
from a 24-hour bodega
31
00:01:33,201 --> 00:01:35,420
when he was shot in
his car at close range.
32
00:01:35,464 --> 00:01:39,163
CCTV cam captured a
suspect fleeing the scene
33
00:01:39,207 --> 00:01:41,209
who roughly matches
Leo's height and weight.
34
00:01:41,252 --> 00:01:43,820
I would think a quarter
of the world's population
35
00:01:43,863 --> 00:01:45,561
roughly matches
Leo's height and weight.
36
00:01:45,604 --> 00:01:46,953
Oh, boy.
37
00:01:46,997 --> 00:01:48,694
Here's something.
According to this,
38
00:01:48,738 --> 00:01:52,176
a palm print was recovered from
the roof of the victim's car.
39
00:01:52,220 --> 00:01:54,483
They're saying it's
a match to Leo's.
40
00:01:54,526 --> 00:01:56,093
Palm print.
41
00:01:56,137 --> 00:01:58,269
A conscientious grad student
spends years
42
00:01:58,313 --> 00:02:01,054
working with his inmate father,
pouring over court documents,
43
00:02:01,098 --> 00:02:02,969
filing motions,
tracking down witnesses,
44
00:02:03,013 --> 00:02:04,667
and they finally
get their day in court,
45
00:02:04,710 --> 00:02:09,062
and suddenly, murder is the only
way they can get what they want.
46
00:02:10,368 --> 00:02:13,763
I don't care what they say
they found on that guy's car.
47
00:02:13,806 --> 00:02:16,113
I don't buy it.
48
00:02:34,697 --> 00:02:37,178
Hey, stranger, need a lift?
49
00:02:37,221 --> 00:02:38,614
Mr. Colón.
50
00:02:38,657 --> 00:02:41,138
Mr. Craddick.
51
00:02:42,922 --> 00:02:45,925
I can't.
Uh, I'm waiting for Leo.
52
00:02:45,969 --> 00:02:48,058
He should be along
any minute.
53
00:02:48,101 --> 00:02:52,323
Actually, uh, Leo
has been detained.
54
00:02:59,852 --> 00:03:01,593
Hey, Leo.
55
00:03:01,637 --> 00:03:04,901
Look, I'm trying every
trick in the book
56
00:03:04,944 --> 00:03:07,686
to get you out of here, but you
are accused of killing a cop,
57
00:03:07,730 --> 00:03:09,775
so the likelihood ...know.
58
00:03:09,819 --> 00:03:11,821
Okay.
59
00:03:11,864 --> 00:03:13,997
By the way, we spoke
with your landlord.
60
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,434
Told him
your father had been exonerated,
61
00:03:16,478 --> 00:03:20,917
and he said he was fine with
letting your dad stay there.
62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,267
Benny's picking him up
at prison right now.
63
00:03:23,311 --> 00:03:24,877
Thank you.
64
00:03:24,921 --> 00:03:26,531
Mr. Craddick,
65
00:03:26,575 --> 00:03:27,880
my name's Chester Palmer.
66
00:03:27,924 --> 00:03:29,752
I'm an attorney in
Dr. Bull's office.
67
00:03:29,795 --> 00:03:31,797
He and I will be
spearheading your case.
68
00:03:31,841 --> 00:03:34,409
And what is my case?
69
00:03:35,932 --> 00:03:40,153
On what basis am I being
accused of this crime?
70
00:03:40,197 --> 00:03:43,548
What in the world
did I have to gain
71
00:03:43,592 --> 00:03:47,160
-by killing a police detective?
-Well,
72
00:03:47,204 --> 00:03:48,640
Leo, it's only
the morning after.
73
00:03:48,684 --> 00:03:49,859
We don't have a lot of answers.
74
00:03:49,902 --> 00:03:52,296
Oh. I'm sorry.
75
00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:55,865
Am I being impatient
with the wheels of justice?
76
00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:58,041
I certainly didn't mean
to be rude.
77
00:03:58,084 --> 00:03:59,999
It's only my freedom.
78
00:04:00,043 --> 00:04:02,045
It's only my life.
79
00:04:03,786 --> 00:04:06,005
I would like to know.
80
00:04:07,485 --> 00:04:09,270
Why am I here?
81
00:04:09,313 --> 00:04:11,533
You want to know the truth?
82
00:04:11,576 --> 00:04:13,752
You look the part.
83
00:04:13,796 --> 00:04:15,493
Yeah?
84
00:04:15,537 --> 00:04:17,147
Well, so do you.
85
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:18,975
-Kind of.
-Yeah. Not really.
86
00:04:19,018 --> 00:04:22,195
I aged out of that angry
young Black man category
87
00:04:22,239 --> 00:04:26,112
a long time ago, but you--
you fit the profile perfectly.
88
00:04:26,156 --> 00:04:28,114
Which is why the
most important thing
89
00:04:28,158 --> 00:04:30,943
that we have to do
right now is remind them
90
00:04:30,987 --> 00:04:32,423
that you are not that person.
91
00:04:32,467 --> 00:04:35,861
You are an educated,
socially-engaged young citizen.
92
00:04:35,905 --> 00:04:38,603
And that this is an incredible
miscarriage of justice.
93
00:04:38,647 --> 00:04:41,214
So we're gonna need you
to take it on good faith
94
00:04:41,258 --> 00:04:45,436
that we're doing everything
that we can as fast as we can.
95
00:04:47,264 --> 00:04:49,092
Don't have much choice, do I?
96
00:04:49,135 --> 00:04:50,789
Let's start at
the beginning.
97
00:04:50,833 --> 00:04:52,791
They know exactly what time
98
00:04:52,835 --> 00:04:55,620
that detective was shot--
11:19 p.m.
99
00:04:55,664 --> 00:04:59,450
So we need to know-- where were
you two nights ago at 11:19?
100
00:05:01,496 --> 00:05:04,020
I was at home. Asleep.
101
00:05:04,063 --> 00:05:05,326
Is there anyone
who can verify that?
102
00:05:05,369 --> 00:05:07,937
-Verify that I was asleep?
-Mm.
103
00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:10,113
No. I live alone.
104
00:05:10,156 --> 00:05:11,462
So you don't have an alibi?
105
00:05:11,506 --> 00:05:13,856
Guess not.
Didn't know I'd be needing one.
106
00:05:13,899 --> 00:05:15,858
You know they found
your handprint
107
00:05:15,901 --> 00:05:17,338
on Detective Kaminsky's car.
108
00:05:18,948 --> 00:05:21,124
Well... there you go.
109
00:05:21,167 --> 00:05:23,126
That's simply not possible.
110
00:05:23,169 --> 00:05:24,910
Unless the cops planted it,
which I'm sure they did.
111
00:05:24,954 --> 00:05:28,131
Okay, well, we'll continue
to investigate that possibility.
112
00:05:28,174 --> 00:05:30,002
We'll take nothing for granted,
113
00:05:30,046 --> 00:05:31,569
but why don't we give
some thought as to
114
00:05:31,613 --> 00:05:33,528
how that print could have
legitimately gotten there?
115
00:05:33,571 --> 00:05:36,574
Hey, man, I didn't even know
the man had a car.
116
00:05:36,618 --> 00:05:38,837
I wouldn't know Kaminsky's car
if it ran over me.
117
00:05:38,881 --> 00:05:41,971
Okay, but you were seen verbally
accosting him at the courthouse.
118
00:05:42,014 --> 00:05:45,366
He locked up an innocent man.
119
00:05:45,409 --> 00:05:47,542
He robbed me of my father
for over 12 years.
120
00:05:47,585 --> 00:05:49,152
We're just trying
121
00:05:49,195 --> 00:05:50,719
to give you an idea
of what you're up against here.
122
00:05:50,762 --> 00:05:52,198
But I didn't do it.
123
00:05:52,242 --> 00:05:53,809
Again, why would I do it?
124
00:05:53,852 --> 00:05:54,810
How does it help me?
125
00:05:54,853 --> 00:05:56,855
He's a cop, and you're a man
126
00:05:56,899 --> 00:05:58,509
who's shown anger
towards the cops
127
00:05:58,553 --> 00:06:00,729
for reasons that make
perfect sense to the two of us.
128
00:06:00,772 --> 00:06:02,078
But that anger
129
00:06:02,121 --> 00:06:03,732
in a courtroom
130
00:06:03,775 --> 00:06:07,126
is gonna play right into
the district attorney's hands.
131
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:09,215
-Let's get down
to it here.
132
00:06:09,259 --> 00:06:12,697
Leo, you ever attend
any demonstrations,
133
00:06:12,741 --> 00:06:16,048
rallies, protests that would
be considered anti-police?
134
00:06:16,092 --> 00:06:17,354
What do you think?
135
00:06:17,398 --> 00:06:19,443
You ever speak
at any of these rallies?
136
00:06:19,487 --> 00:06:22,098
-Lead any of these rallies?
-I certainly have.
137
00:06:22,141 --> 00:06:24,317
And would the D.A.'s office
recognize the name
138
00:06:24,361 --> 00:06:26,972
of any of these groups
that you were associated with?
139
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,586
You ever heard
of Black Lives Matter?
140
00:06:33,675 --> 00:06:35,459
Say the name.
141
00:06:35,503 --> 00:06:37,418
There is no fear in that name.
142
00:06:37,461 --> 00:06:40,290
It is a simple statement
of fact.
143
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:43,424
Black... Lives... Matter.
144
00:06:43,467 --> 00:06:45,643
No one is disagreeing with you.
145
00:06:45,687 --> 00:06:48,167
We're just trying to figure out
how to defend you.
146
00:07:00,310 --> 00:07:01,442
Curfew's 10:00 p.m.
147
00:07:01,485 --> 00:07:02,617
Failure to make curfew,
148
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:04,619
failure of any random
drug screening,
149
00:07:04,662 --> 00:07:06,708
failure to secure employment
150
00:07:06,751 --> 00:07:09,450
and/or failure
to notify of any change
151
00:07:09,493 --> 00:07:10,929
of employment or residence,
152
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:12,844
and your parole is subject
to revocation.
153
00:07:12,888 --> 00:07:15,586
-Understood?
-Yes, ma'am, I understand.
154
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:18,807
Officer Schiraldi, my client
has a special request.
155
00:07:18,850 --> 00:07:21,505
Now, his son is currently
being held at Rikers,
156
00:07:21,549 --> 00:07:24,073
and we were hoping
that you would be willing
157
00:07:24,116 --> 00:07:26,205
to authorize such a visit.
158
00:07:26,249 --> 00:07:29,208
I'm sorry,
but that is not possible.
159
00:07:29,252 --> 00:07:31,123
Well, you should know
160
00:07:31,167 --> 00:07:33,299
that A.D.A. Glover
has filed a motion
161
00:07:33,343 --> 00:07:35,606
to vacate the conviction
against my client,
162
00:07:35,650 --> 00:07:38,696
which we are very confident
will be granted.
163
00:07:38,740 --> 00:07:40,916
And since my client has been
barred from the courtroom
164
00:07:40,959 --> 00:07:43,396
due to COVID restrictions,
we were hoping
165
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,963
that you would make
an exception.
166
00:07:47,488 --> 00:07:48,967
I understand
you have a job to do,
167
00:07:49,011 --> 00:07:53,406
but I have been away
from my son for over 12 years,
168
00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:55,931
and now he needs me.
169
00:07:56,932 --> 00:07:59,456
I understand.
170
00:07:59,500 --> 00:08:01,676
But in my experience,
171
00:08:01,719 --> 00:08:06,202
allowing felons to visit prisons
is just asking for trouble.
172
00:08:06,245 --> 00:08:07,812
Now, once you're exonerated,
173
00:08:07,856 --> 00:08:09,945
you are free to do
what you want.
174
00:08:09,988 --> 00:08:13,078
But in the meantime, I'm sorry,
the answer is still no.
175
00:08:13,122 --> 00:08:14,166
Urine sample.
176
00:08:14,210 --> 00:08:15,907
I need to walk him
177
00:08:15,951 --> 00:08:17,039
down to the bathroom.
178
00:08:17,082 --> 00:08:18,344
You mind showing us where it is?
179
00:08:18,388 --> 00:08:21,086
Mr. Palmer, you have
180
00:08:21,130 --> 00:08:23,915
a pretrial motion
you'd like the court to hear
181
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:27,005
with regard to some
of the prosecution's evidence?
182
00:08:27,049 --> 00:08:28,398
Yes, Your Honor.
183
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:30,531
I'm requesting permission
to exclude any mention
184
00:08:30,574 --> 00:08:33,577
of my client's involvement
with Black Lives Matter
185
00:08:33,621 --> 00:08:36,580
or photographic evidence
of affiliation with same.
186
00:08:36,624 --> 00:08:38,103
With the court's
permission,
187
00:08:38,147 --> 00:08:41,585
we'd like to direct
your attention to the monitors
188
00:08:41,629 --> 00:08:43,500
that are at the front
of the courtroom.
189
00:08:45,807 --> 00:08:47,765
Now, I would like to make note
190
00:08:47,809 --> 00:08:51,073
that investigations
after the fact proved
191
00:08:51,116 --> 00:08:53,728
that the police car in
this photo was set on fire
192
00:08:53,771 --> 00:08:55,730
by people who are not
associated with my client
193
00:08:55,773 --> 00:08:58,297
or the
Black Lives Matter movement.
194
00:08:58,341 --> 00:09:00,212
Nonetheless,
the prosecution would like
195
00:09:00,256 --> 00:09:02,301
to present this photo
solely with the purpose
196
00:09:02,345 --> 00:09:04,434
of inflaming the jury.
197
00:09:04,477 --> 00:09:06,610
Now, given the intense
media coverage
198
00:09:06,654 --> 00:09:08,133
of this trial
199
00:09:08,177 --> 00:09:11,528
and the current climate
with regards to law enforcement,
200
00:09:11,572 --> 00:09:13,661
inclusion of photos like these
201
00:09:13,704 --> 00:09:16,185
would only serve
to paint a misleading
202
00:09:16,228 --> 00:09:18,753
and unduly prejudicial portrait
of my client.
203
00:09:18,796 --> 00:09:20,798
I don't think
it's prejudicial at all.
204
00:09:20,842 --> 00:09:24,193
The defendant has a lengthy
and well-documented history
205
00:09:24,236 --> 00:09:25,629
of anti-police sentiment
206
00:09:25,673 --> 00:09:27,892
masquerading as protected speech.
207
00:09:27,936 --> 00:09:30,155
Your Honor,
the A.D.A. is clearly
208
00:09:30,199 --> 00:09:31,766
mistaken in this regard.
209
00:09:31,809 --> 00:09:34,333
Black Lives Matter is not
opposed to the police.
210
00:09:34,377 --> 00:09:38,990
Black Lives Matter is opposed
to police killing Black people.
211
00:09:39,034 --> 00:09:41,645
And the prosecution is trying
to paint this organization
212
00:09:41,689 --> 00:09:43,691
and, by extension,
my client,
213
00:09:43,734 --> 00:09:47,346
as being extremist
and anti-law enforcement.
214
00:09:47,390 --> 00:09:49,000
All for the crime
215
00:09:49,044 --> 00:09:53,135
of simply affirming the value
of Black life.
216
00:09:55,137 --> 00:09:57,269
All right, Mr. Palmer.
217
00:09:57,313 --> 00:10:01,709
Your impassioned entreaty
has not fallen on deaf ears.
218
00:10:01,752 --> 00:10:03,319
I agree.
219
00:10:03,362 --> 00:10:08,019
I find that the mention
of Mr. Craddick's involvement
220
00:10:08,063 --> 00:10:11,022
in Black Lives Matter
is irrelevant
221
00:10:11,066 --> 00:10:12,894
and unduly prejudicial,
222
00:10:12,937 --> 00:10:14,852
and I'm granting your motion.
223
00:10:14,896 --> 00:10:16,898
There are to be no references
to Black Lives Matter
224
00:10:16,941 --> 00:10:20,249
or the defendant's
association therewith.
225
00:10:20,292 --> 00:10:21,554
Is that clear?
226
00:10:21,598 --> 00:10:23,426
Yes, Your Honor.
227
00:10:24,732 --> 00:10:27,082
That was too easy.
Why don't I trust it?
228
00:10:27,125 --> 00:10:29,562
Because you're Jason Bull,
super smart cynic.
229
00:10:29,606 --> 00:10:31,086
You've been talking
to my much better half.
230
00:10:31,129 --> 00:10:32,435
Your Honor, we have
231
00:10:32,478 --> 00:10:34,611
a second motion
for the court's consideration.
232
00:10:34,655 --> 00:10:36,134
I ask that we exclude
233
00:10:36,178 --> 00:10:38,746
any reference to the defendant's
prior conviction
234
00:10:38,789 --> 00:10:40,399
for criminal mischief.
235
00:10:40,443 --> 00:10:41,879
My client was one
236
00:10:41,923 --> 00:10:43,751
of over 200 people arrested
237
00:10:43,794 --> 00:10:46,797
after a Black Lives Matter
demonstration became overrun
238
00:10:46,841 --> 00:10:49,147
with people not associated
with his group,
239
00:10:49,191 --> 00:10:51,323
but who were there
solely for purpose
240
00:10:51,367 --> 00:10:53,238
of looting and
vandalizing.
241
00:10:53,282 --> 00:10:56,024
He couldn't afford counsel,
he spent a night in jail.
242
00:10:56,067 --> 00:10:58,853
For these spurious charges
to be used against him--
243
00:10:58,896 --> 00:11:02,291
it seems unjust and unfair,
Your Honor.
244
00:11:02,334 --> 00:11:05,076
Ms. Olson, care to respond?
245
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,471
Your Honor,
as Mr. Palmer is well aware,
246
00:11:08,514 --> 00:11:12,083
if his client chooses to take
the stand in his own defense,
247
00:11:12,127 --> 00:11:14,607
he can be cross-examined
about prior crimes
248
00:11:14,651 --> 00:11:16,087
that bear on his credibility.
249
00:11:16,131 --> 00:11:19,090
To arbitrarily deny me
the opportunity
250
00:11:19,134 --> 00:11:22,267
to share this conviction
with the jury seems...
251
00:11:22,311 --> 00:11:23,573
How did you put it?
252
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:25,401
Unjust and unfair?
253
00:11:25,444 --> 00:11:26,924
And it is.
254
00:11:26,968 --> 00:11:28,926
To the state, which believes
Mr. Craddick is guilty
255
00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:31,624
of murdering a police officer
in cold blood.
256
00:11:31,668 --> 00:11:34,018
And I would also point out
to the court,
257
00:11:34,062 --> 00:11:36,629
violence against police officers
seems to be
258
00:11:36,673 --> 00:11:39,458
a common feature
of these rallies.
259
00:11:39,502 --> 00:11:41,852
And whether that violence
is instigated
260
00:11:41,896 --> 00:11:43,767
by the sponsoring organization
261
00:11:43,811 --> 00:11:46,291
or outsiders
who seize the opportunity
262
00:11:46,335 --> 00:11:48,772
to indulge in mayhem
is beside the point.
263
00:11:48,816 --> 00:11:51,035
The point-- the only point--
264
00:11:51,079 --> 00:11:53,472
is that Mr. Craddick
has been arrested and convicted
265
00:11:53,516 --> 00:11:55,083
in the past.
266
00:11:55,126 --> 00:11:57,215
And that is something that
the jury has a right to know.
267
00:11:57,259 --> 00:11:58,782
Told ya.
268
00:11:58,826 --> 00:12:01,002
The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh way.
269
00:12:01,045 --> 00:12:04,353
Come on, no one's
taken away anything yet.
270
00:12:05,397 --> 00:12:09,314
While I still believe
Mr. Craddick's association
271
00:12:09,358 --> 00:12:13,014
with Black Lives Matter
should remain out of bounds,
272
00:12:13,057 --> 00:12:15,581
if he does choose
to take the stand
273
00:12:15,625 --> 00:12:16,931
in his own defense
274
00:12:16,974 --> 00:12:20,499
and personally asserts
his innocence,
275
00:12:20,543 --> 00:12:22,980
I believe...
276
00:12:23,024 --> 00:12:25,853
his criminal history
should be admissible
277
00:12:25,896 --> 00:12:27,637
to impeach his credibility.
278
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,508
Told ya.
279
00:12:29,552 --> 00:12:31,032
But, Your Honor,
280
00:12:31,075 --> 00:12:33,469
you're essentially taking away
his ability to testify
281
00:12:33,512 --> 00:12:34,992
on his own behalf.
282
00:12:35,036 --> 00:12:37,734
I've issued my ruling,
Mr. Palmer.
283
00:12:37,778 --> 00:12:39,910
If Mr. Craddick testifies,
284
00:12:39,954 --> 00:12:42,739
the arrest is admissible.
285
00:12:48,179 --> 00:12:50,007
Just got off the phone
with Bull.
286
00:12:50,051 --> 00:12:51,792
He was curious
what kind of progress
287
00:12:51,835 --> 00:12:53,968
-you were making.
-Actually, I was just staring
288
00:12:54,011 --> 00:12:56,057
at Detective Kaminsky's
phone bill as we speak.
289
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,537
For what it's worth, in the
weeks leading up to his murder,
290
00:12:58,581 --> 00:12:59,974
he received dozens of calls
291
00:13:00,017 --> 00:13:01,802
from a host
of different burner phones.
292
00:13:01,845 --> 00:13:03,934
Well, that sounds promising.
293
00:13:03,978 --> 00:13:06,545
Maybe. Danny told me
when she was in the NYPD
294
00:13:06,589 --> 00:13:07,851
they'd give out burner phones
295
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:09,200
to all
the confidential informants.
296
00:13:09,244 --> 00:13:11,072
Gave them out like Handi Wipes,
she said.
297
00:13:11,115 --> 00:13:13,378
Veteran cop like Kaminsky,
he probably had dozens
298
00:13:13,422 --> 00:13:15,032
of confidential informants.
299
00:13:15,076 --> 00:13:16,686
The thing is,
I don't know
300
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,383
who's on the other
end of these calls.
301
00:13:18,427 --> 00:13:21,647
I can't see any of the texts.
I can't hear any of the calls.
302
00:13:21,691 --> 00:13:23,867
I can't tell any of that
from a bill.
303
00:13:23,911 --> 00:13:25,695
Well, it's a start.
My guess is
304
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:27,871
tomorrow we will file
a motion for discovery
305
00:13:27,915 --> 00:13:29,742
so that we can get access
to the physical phone.
306
00:13:29,786 --> 00:13:31,483
That way,
we can read any texts,
307
00:13:31,527 --> 00:13:32,833
listen to any voice mails.
308
00:13:32,876 --> 00:13:34,225
And in the meantime,
309
00:13:34,269 --> 00:13:36,227
Danny'll keep trying
to track these burners,
310
00:13:36,271 --> 00:13:38,055
see if we can find out
who he gave them to.
311
00:13:38,099 --> 00:13:40,753
There's got to be
a record of it somewhere.
312
00:13:42,277 --> 00:13:44,366
-You want to talk juries?
Sure.
313
00:13:44,409 --> 00:13:47,543
I think this morning's gonna be
all about belief perseverance.
314
00:13:47,586 --> 00:13:50,024
Belief perseverance?
315
00:13:50,067 --> 00:13:52,243
People who insist on holding on
to something they believe in
316
00:13:52,287 --> 00:13:53,897
even in the face
of new information
317
00:13:53,941 --> 00:13:56,465
that contradicts that belief.
318
00:13:56,508 --> 00:13:58,597
Where I come from, people
just call that "stubborn."
319
00:13:58,641 --> 00:14:00,512
"Stubborn" works, too.
320
00:14:00,556 --> 00:14:05,300
We definitely want to eliminate
or least minimize the stubborn.
321
00:14:06,344 --> 00:14:08,390
The job is gonna be
to convince our jury
322
00:14:08,433 --> 00:14:11,480
that the police investigation
was compromised from the start.
323
00:14:11,523 --> 00:14:13,351
They zeroed right in on Leo.
324
00:14:13,395 --> 00:14:16,050
They barely investigated,
'cause they had their theory.
325
00:14:16,093 --> 00:14:17,790
And they held on to that theory
326
00:14:17,834 --> 00:14:21,011
to the exclusion of any other
information or possibilities.
327
00:14:21,055 --> 00:14:22,839
Now, that's the narrative.
328
00:14:24,797 --> 00:14:26,234
For that argument to stick,
329
00:14:26,277 --> 00:14:28,932
we need jurors whose first
impressions are malleable
330
00:14:28,976 --> 00:14:31,282
to new information,
new evidence.
331
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:35,330
We need people
who aren't stubborn.
332
00:14:37,114 --> 00:14:39,377
Any hopeless romantics here
today?
333
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:40,901
Anyone here believe
334
00:14:40,944 --> 00:14:43,077
in love
at first sight?
335
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,339
Oh.
336
00:14:44,382 --> 00:14:45,644
You, ma'am.
337
00:14:45,688 --> 00:14:47,472
Any reason
in particular
338
00:14:47,516 --> 00:14:50,301
you don't believe people
can fall in love at first sight?
339
00:14:50,345 --> 00:14:54,262
My first date with
my now husband was a disaster.
340
00:14:54,305 --> 00:14:56,351
First, he went
to the wrong restaurant,
341
00:14:56,394 --> 00:14:58,962
so he was 20 minutes late.
342
00:14:59,006 --> 00:15:00,833
And when he finally got there,
he was so nervous,
343
00:15:00,877 --> 00:15:03,575
he dumped a glass of wine
on my favorite blouse.
344
00:15:03,619 --> 00:15:04,968
And then, to top it off,
345
00:15:05,012 --> 00:15:07,666
he left his wallet in the cab,
346
00:15:07,710 --> 00:15:09,581
-so I had to pay for dinner.
-Oh.
347
00:15:10,931 --> 00:15:13,194
But he made me laugh,
348
00:15:13,237 --> 00:15:15,196
so I gave him another chance.
349
00:15:15,239 --> 00:15:16,980
A few more chances, actually.
350
00:15:17,024 --> 00:15:19,504
And all that's
to say is that,
351
00:15:19,548 --> 00:15:21,289
even when you think you know,
352
00:15:21,332 --> 00:15:22,594
you don't know.
353
00:15:22,638 --> 00:15:25,510
Lady doesn't go all in
on first impressions.
354
00:15:25,554 --> 00:15:26,555
We like it.
355
00:15:26,598 --> 00:15:27,556
Or don't we?
356
00:15:27,599 --> 00:15:29,166
No, I think we do.
357
00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:31,168
She reads websites from all
sides of the political spectrum,
358
00:15:31,212 --> 00:15:33,518
is registered as an independent
359
00:15:33,562 --> 00:15:35,042
and she and her husband
360
00:15:35,085 --> 00:15:38,219
just celebrated
their 35th anniversary.
361
00:15:38,262 --> 00:15:40,743
From where I'm sitting,
she's our dream juror.
362
00:15:41,744 --> 00:15:44,051
Juror number 19.
363
00:15:44,094 --> 00:15:46,183
you in, you out?
364
00:15:46,227 --> 00:15:49,012
Well, I'm not saying
I don't believe in it.
365
00:15:49,056 --> 00:15:50,709
I mean, I like the idea of it.
366
00:15:50,753 --> 00:15:53,016
Who wouldn't like to live in
a world where you could be sure
367
00:15:53,060 --> 00:15:54,539
just by looking at someone?
368
00:15:54,583 --> 00:15:55,888
But...
369
00:15:55,932 --> 00:15:58,282
it's like she just said,
you never know.
370
00:15:58,326 --> 00:16:00,893
Sounds like someone willing to
hear both sides of an argument.
371
00:16:00,937 --> 00:16:02,373
What are we looking at here,
Marissa?
372
00:16:02,417 --> 00:16:03,592
Willard Goss.
373
00:16:03,635 --> 00:16:05,637
24 years old.
Family owns Goss Uniforms,
374
00:16:05,681 --> 00:16:09,032
an apparel company that provides
clothing and accessories to...
375
00:16:09,076 --> 00:16:11,730
among other organizations,
376
00:16:11,774 --> 00:16:13,036
the NYPD.
377
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,082
Well, that's that, isn't it?
378
00:16:15,865 --> 00:16:17,736
And how
about you, miss?
379
00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:19,738
Love at first sight?
380
00:16:19,782 --> 00:16:21,871
I don't think so.
381
00:16:21,914 --> 00:16:23,438
Care to explain?
382
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:24,830
Because it's a myth,
383
00:16:24,874 --> 00:16:26,571
a fairy tale.
384
00:16:26,615 --> 00:16:27,920
The advertising agencies,
385
00:16:27,964 --> 00:16:30,271
the greeting card companies,
Hollywood--
386
00:16:30,314 --> 00:16:33,578
it's a tale they tell
to separate you from your money.
387
00:16:34,405 --> 00:16:36,973
Sounds like someone who doesn't
budge once her mind is made up.
388
00:16:37,017 --> 00:16:38,279
You don't know the half of it.
389
00:16:38,322 --> 00:16:40,542
Her social media
is scorched earth.
390
00:16:40,585 --> 00:16:41,978
Movies, music, food--
391
00:16:42,022 --> 00:16:44,241
she's posting 500 words
on why you're wrong.
392
00:16:44,285 --> 00:16:46,243
If this woman doesn't like
something about Leo,
393
00:16:46,287 --> 00:16:48,071
she'll be a nightmare
on the jury.
394
00:16:48,115 --> 00:16:49,420
We'd like to thank
395
00:16:49,464 --> 00:16:51,509
and excuse juror number 30,
Your Honor.
396
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:53,033
Your Honor,
397
00:16:53,076 --> 00:16:54,512
before you dismiss this juror,
398
00:16:54,556 --> 00:16:57,080
may we be heard in chambers?
399
00:16:57,124 --> 00:16:59,517
Your Honor, I count
six total jurors
400
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:01,389
eliminated by the defense.
401
00:17:01,432 --> 00:17:02,955
All six
are white.
402
00:17:02,999 --> 00:17:04,566
As I'm sure
you're aware,
403
00:17:04,609 --> 00:17:08,004
Batson v. Kentucky explicitly
prohibits jury eliminations
404
00:17:08,048 --> 00:17:09,614
based on race.
405
00:17:09,658 --> 00:17:12,443
-Your Honor, as the
A.D.A. is well aware,
406
00:17:12,487 --> 00:17:16,273
the Batson ruling was
specifically intended to address
407
00:17:16,317 --> 00:17:19,624
the exclusion of Black people
from serving as jurors.
408
00:17:19,668 --> 00:17:23,237
Yes. When it was originally
issued, that was the case.
409
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,240
But the Supreme Court has since
expanded its ruling on Batson
410
00:17:26,283 --> 00:17:28,981
to ensure no citizen
is disqualified
411
00:17:29,025 --> 00:17:30,983
from jury service
based on race.
412
00:17:31,027 --> 00:17:32,898
Equal protection,
Your Honor.
413
00:17:32,942 --> 00:17:35,118
That's all well
and good, but,
414
00:17:35,162 --> 00:17:37,773
Your Honor, none of these
strikes were discriminatory.
415
00:17:37,816 --> 00:17:41,342
Each and every choice was
based on scientific analysis
416
00:17:41,385 --> 00:17:43,170
and had nothing
whatsoever
417
00:17:43,213 --> 00:17:44,606
-to do with race.
Really?
418
00:17:44,649 --> 00:17:47,478
Hmm. And we're just supposed
to accept that
419
00:17:47,522 --> 00:17:48,914
because you assert it?
420
00:17:48,958 --> 00:17:50,786
With all due respect,
Dr. Bull,
421
00:17:50,829 --> 00:17:52,353
it may or may not be true.
422
00:17:52,396 --> 00:17:55,182
But what is true,
what is unassailable,
423
00:17:55,225 --> 00:17:56,922
is that all of your jury strikes
424
00:17:56,966 --> 00:17:59,229
were exercised
against Caucasians.
425
00:17:59,273 --> 00:18:01,013
I don't doubt
your methods, Dr. Bull,
426
00:18:01,057 --> 00:18:02,014
but it's hard
to disagree
427
00:18:02,058 --> 00:18:04,234
with A.D.A. Olson's point.
428
00:18:04,278 --> 00:18:05,801
Out of an abundance of caution,
429
00:18:05,844 --> 00:18:08,282
I'm not going to allow you
to strike juror number 30.
430
00:18:08,325 --> 00:18:09,239
Your Honor...
431
00:18:09,283 --> 00:18:11,285
She stays, Mr. Palmer.
432
00:18:18,248 --> 00:18:19,771
Mrs. Kaminsky,
433
00:18:19,815 --> 00:18:22,470
did your late husband
ever mention
434
00:18:22,513 --> 00:18:23,949
Leo Craddick to you?
435
00:18:23,993 --> 00:18:26,082
Not by name.
436
00:18:26,126 --> 00:18:28,345
Joe never talked
about his cases.
437
00:18:29,172 --> 00:18:34,134
So, I-I'm confused
when you say "not by name."
438
00:18:34,177 --> 00:18:35,961
Have you ever met Leo Craddick?
439
00:18:36,005 --> 00:18:37,659
Yes, I have.
440
00:18:37,702 --> 00:18:40,749
-And can you tell us when and
where you met the defendant?
441
00:18:40,792 --> 00:18:43,752
It was during the trial
involving the father.
442
00:18:43,795 --> 00:18:45,449
Joe went to testify and told me
443
00:18:45,493 --> 00:18:48,887
he ran into the man's son
in the hall.
444
00:18:48,931 --> 00:18:50,889
He didn't say so, but...
445
00:18:50,933 --> 00:18:52,456
you could tell it rattled him.
446
00:18:52,500 --> 00:18:55,155
Otherwise, he never
-would have mentioned it.
-Hmm.
447
00:18:55,198 --> 00:18:56,939
-Anyway, since he
was in court
448
00:18:56,982 --> 00:18:59,333
that day, he left me the car.
449
00:18:59,376 --> 00:19:00,943
He was going
to take the train home
450
00:19:00,986 --> 00:19:02,292
after he was done
at the station house,
451
00:19:02,336 --> 00:19:04,425
but I offered to pick him up.
452
00:19:06,078 --> 00:19:08,124
And when I got there,
453
00:19:08,168 --> 00:19:09,995
I went to park in Joe's spot.
454
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:12,824
And as soon as I did,
a man walked over.
455
00:19:12,868 --> 00:19:15,000
And do you see
456
00:19:15,044 --> 00:19:18,090
that man in the courtroom?
457
00:19:18,874 --> 00:19:21,006
I do.
458
00:19:21,050 --> 00:19:22,486
It's him.
459
00:19:22,530 --> 00:19:24,923
-And what happened
when he walked over?
460
00:19:24,967 --> 00:19:28,231
He asked me if I knew that this
was Detective Kaminsky's spot.
461
00:19:28,275 --> 00:19:29,537
And what did you say?
462
00:19:29,580 --> 00:19:31,016
I said I did.
463
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:32,453
I mean, there was a sign.
464
00:19:32,496 --> 00:19:35,847
So, did that seem
like a strange question to you?
465
00:19:35,891 --> 00:19:38,720
Objection. Counsel
is leading the witness.
466
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:39,808
Objection sustained.
467
00:19:39,851 --> 00:19:41,070
Rephrase the question, please.
468
00:19:41,853 --> 00:19:43,507
Can you describe
469
00:19:43,551 --> 00:19:45,422
what you did
when the defendant asked
470
00:19:45,466 --> 00:19:47,772
if the spot belonged
to Detective Kaminsky?
471
00:19:47,816 --> 00:19:50,210
I told him it did.
472
00:19:50,993 --> 00:19:53,300
And then I instantly
regretted it.
473
00:19:53,343 --> 00:19:54,910
Why?
474
00:19:54,953 --> 00:19:56,390
I don't know.
475
00:19:56,433 --> 00:19:58,696
There was something desperate
about him.
476
00:19:58,740 --> 00:20:00,089
About the question.
477
00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:02,047
He said he had gone
into the station house
478
00:20:02,091 --> 00:20:04,659
and asked
to see Joe,
479
00:20:04,702 --> 00:20:07,488
but they wouldn't even tell him
if he was working or not.
480
00:20:07,531 --> 00:20:09,794
Said he had to call
and make an appointment.
481
00:20:09,838 --> 00:20:11,361
And what did you say?
482
00:20:11,405 --> 00:20:16,279
I lied and told him
I was sure Joe wasn't working.
483
00:20:16,323 --> 00:20:17,846
Otherwise he never would have told me
484
00:20:17,889 --> 00:20:19,891
it was okay to use his spot.
485
00:20:19,935 --> 00:20:21,502
And then what happened?
486
00:20:21,545 --> 00:20:23,286
And then I went
into the station house
487
00:20:23,330 --> 00:20:25,593
like I worked there, too.
488
00:20:26,724 --> 00:20:28,204
As soon as I got in the door,
489
00:20:28,248 --> 00:20:30,641
I mentioned it
to the watch commander,
490
00:20:30,685 --> 00:20:32,991
and they sent somebody out
to take a look.
491
00:20:33,035 --> 00:20:34,602
But...
492
00:20:34,645 --> 00:20:36,081
by then, he was gone.
493
00:20:36,125 --> 00:20:38,170
Okay, so let's just review.
494
00:20:38,214 --> 00:20:40,042
Your husband had an encounter
495
00:20:40,085 --> 00:20:42,044
with Leo Craddick
Objection.
496
00:20:42,087 --> 00:20:43,654
Counsel's assuming facts
that are not in evidence....earlier that day.
497
00:20:43,698 --> 00:20:45,090
And then you
encountered him
498
00:20:45,134 --> 00:20:46,831
later that night,
skulking around
499
00:20:46,875 --> 00:20:48,137
the station house ...ur Honor.
500
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,573
Objection sustained....after he was told
501
00:20:49,617 --> 00:20:50,922
he needed to have
-an appointment.
-The jury will...
502
00:20:50,966 --> 00:20:52,184
In your opinion .... Olson...
503
00:20:52,228 --> 00:20:53,577
-...was he lying in wait?
-I'm ordering you
504
00:20:53,621 --> 00:20:55,536
-to stop questioning the witness!
-Or perhaps planning
505
00:20:55,579 --> 00:20:57,320
to shoot your husband
-that night?
-Counsel is ignoring
506
00:20:57,364 --> 00:20:59,279
the order
-from the bench!
-Ms. Olson, that's enough!
507
00:21:04,501 --> 00:21:09,158
The jury will disregard
the A.D.A.'s... outbursts.
508
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:10,768
Like hell they will.
509
00:21:10,812 --> 00:21:12,292
And you, my dear,
510
00:21:12,335 --> 00:21:13,554
are within a hair's breadth
511
00:21:13,597 --> 00:21:15,773
of being found
in contempt of court.
512
00:21:15,817 --> 00:21:17,427
Am I being clear?
513
00:21:17,471 --> 00:21:19,081
Very.
514
00:21:19,124 --> 00:21:20,212
You were there.
515
00:21:20,256 --> 00:21:22,040
I called him out
at the courthouse,
516
00:21:22,084 --> 00:21:24,129
told him
there was gonna be a reckoning.
517
00:21:24,173 --> 00:21:25,740
He even said,
"Are you threatening me?"
518
00:21:25,783 --> 00:21:27,132
I remember it well.
519
00:21:27,176 --> 00:21:29,178
Now, get to the part
where you're stalking him
520
00:21:29,221 --> 00:21:30,440
at the precinct?
521
00:21:30,484 --> 00:21:32,355
I wasn't stalking him
at the precinct.
522
00:21:32,399 --> 00:21:35,010
I wasn't stalking him anywhere.
523
00:21:36,533 --> 00:21:39,231
I realized as soon
as I saw the look on your face
524
00:21:39,275 --> 00:21:42,800
that I should never have
confronted Kaminsky in that way.
525
00:21:42,844 --> 00:21:45,803
That that was no way
to get my father out of jail.
526
00:21:45,847 --> 00:21:47,849
So, again,
527
00:21:47,892 --> 00:21:50,765
what were you doing
at the precinct that night?
528
00:21:53,898 --> 00:21:56,292
I went there to apologize.
529
00:21:57,641 --> 00:21:59,556
I went there
530
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,733
to try and repair whatever
damage I might have done.
531
00:22:02,777 --> 00:22:04,300
But like his wife said,
532
00:22:04,344 --> 00:22:06,389
they wouldn't even tell me
if he was there.
533
00:22:06,433 --> 00:22:08,304
So I thought
I'd look in the parking lot.
534
00:22:08,348 --> 00:22:10,480
And suddenly,
a car pulled into his spot.
535
00:22:10,524 --> 00:22:13,178
I had no idea she was his wife.
536
00:22:13,222 --> 00:22:15,180
I figured
she was just another cop
537
00:22:15,224 --> 00:22:16,834
whose space was just
further away.
538
00:22:16,878 --> 00:22:19,315
So when she told me that
he wasn't working that night,
539
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,535
I took her word for it
and went home.
540
00:22:22,405 --> 00:22:24,320
Oh, see, that-that...
that's a great answer.
541
00:22:24,364 --> 00:22:26,453
I love that answer.
I want to put you on the stand
542
00:22:26,496 --> 00:22:28,542
so you can tell
that to the jury.
543
00:22:28,585 --> 00:22:30,674
-Except you can't.
-Excuse me?
544
00:22:30,718 --> 00:22:32,415
She just set a trap
for you, that A.D.A.
545
00:22:32,459 --> 00:22:35,549
She's tough.
She's ferocious.
546
00:22:35,592 --> 00:22:37,681
There's nothing
she wants more
547
00:22:37,725 --> 00:22:39,422
than for you to put
him on the stand
548
00:22:39,466 --> 00:22:40,902
so he can declare
his innocence.
549
00:22:40,945 --> 00:22:43,644
And then, she will say,
"While I have you up here,
550
00:22:43,687 --> 00:22:45,341
"isn't it true that
you are a member
551
00:22:45,385 --> 00:22:46,908
"of the Black Lives
Matter movement?
552
00:22:46,951 --> 00:22:50,651
"And isn't it also true that,
in connection with a protest
553
00:22:50,694 --> 00:22:53,349
that was staged 14 months
ago, you were arrested?"
554
00:22:53,393 --> 00:22:55,873
So, what do we do?
555
00:22:57,701 --> 00:23:00,095
Quite honestly,
I don't know.
556
00:23:00,835 --> 00:23:02,053
I think I do.
557
00:23:02,097 --> 00:23:03,359
So let me make sure
558
00:23:03,403 --> 00:23:04,882
that I understand
what transpired
559
00:23:04,926 --> 00:23:06,318
that night in the parking lot.
560
00:23:06,362 --> 00:23:07,711
You pulled
into your husband's spot,
561
00:23:07,755 --> 00:23:09,800
and then
Mr. Craddick approached you.
562
00:23:09,844 --> 00:23:11,062
Yes.
563
00:23:11,106 --> 00:23:13,717
And did he touch your car?
564
00:23:13,761 --> 00:23:15,632
What do you mean?
565
00:23:15,676 --> 00:23:18,548
Well, one of the key pieces
of evidence that
566
00:23:18,592 --> 00:23:20,463
the prosecution
keeps telling us about
567
00:23:20,507 --> 00:23:24,249
is this palm print
on Detective Kaminsky's car.
568
00:23:24,293 --> 00:23:26,817
The same car that
you were driving that night.
569
00:23:26,861 --> 00:23:28,471
Okay.
570
00:23:28,515 --> 00:23:30,473
So I'm asking,
in your back and forth
571
00:23:30,517 --> 00:23:32,910
with Mr. Craddick,
did he have occasion
572
00:23:32,954 --> 00:23:34,738
to put his hand on your car?
573
00:23:34,782 --> 00:23:38,263
Maybe his palm on
the driver's side of the roof?
574
00:23:38,307 --> 00:23:39,743
Not that I recall.
575
00:23:39,787 --> 00:23:42,485
Do you recall testifying
not 20 minutes ago
576
00:23:42,529 --> 00:23:44,966
that at a point,
you left your car,
577
00:23:45,009 --> 00:23:47,577
and you went into
-the station house?
-Yes.
578
00:23:47,621 --> 00:23:49,927
And you were so concerned about
Mr. Craddick being out there
579
00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:52,539
that, well, you told
the watch commander about it.
580
00:23:52,582 --> 00:23:53,888
Yes.
581
00:23:53,931 --> 00:23:55,542
Well, isn't it possible that,
during that time,
582
00:23:55,585 --> 00:23:58,109
that Leo inadvertently
left his palm print
583
00:23:58,153 --> 00:24:00,590
on the driver's side roof
of the vehicle
584
00:24:00,634 --> 00:24:02,723
where the police
later discovered it?
585
00:24:03,637 --> 00:24:05,116
I don't know. I didn't see it.
586
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,467
But isn't it possible?
587
00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:08,990
Objection! Asked and answered.
588
00:24:09,033 --> 00:24:11,558
Overruled. The witness
will answer the question.
589
00:24:12,950 --> 00:24:15,518
I suppose it's possible.
590
00:24:15,562 --> 00:24:17,607
Are you aware
591
00:24:17,651 --> 00:24:20,958
that a palm imprint, like
the one that my client left,
592
00:24:21,002 --> 00:24:24,266
can last for a day, a week,
593
00:24:24,309 --> 00:24:25,572
-even years?
-Objection!
594
00:24:25,615 --> 00:24:27,138
The defense is testifying!
595
00:24:27,182 --> 00:24:30,533
Sustained. The jury will
disregard that last statement.
596
00:24:30,577 --> 00:24:32,317
No further questions,
Your Honor.
597
00:24:32,361 --> 00:24:34,537
Wow. That was pretty impressive.
598
00:24:34,581 --> 00:24:37,105
Just goes to show you,
when life hands you lemons...
599
00:24:37,148 --> 00:24:38,889
You want to make sure
there's someone on your team
600
00:24:38,933 --> 00:24:40,717
with lots of tequila and salt.
601
00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:49,813
Answers. We got answers.
602
00:24:49,857 --> 00:24:51,162
Fire when ready.
603
00:24:51,206 --> 00:24:53,425
Okay, well, it turns out
all of the owners
604
00:24:53,469 --> 00:24:55,123
of all of the burner phones
that Kaminsky gave out
605
00:24:55,166 --> 00:24:57,517
to his confidential informants
are either in jail,
606
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,257
alibied out or dead.
607
00:24:59,301 --> 00:25:00,389
How convenient.
608
00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:02,347
All of them...
609
00:25:02,391 --> 00:25:04,567
except for one.
610
00:25:04,611 --> 00:25:06,090
Who, of course, is the person
611
00:25:06,134 --> 00:25:08,658
who texted Kaminsky four
times the night of his death.
612
00:25:08,702 --> 00:25:10,355
And that phone would belong to?
613
00:25:10,399 --> 00:25:11,922
I have no idea.
614
00:25:11,966 --> 00:25:14,011
Kaminsky kept records
of the others,
615
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,144
but this one's kind of a ghost.
616
00:25:16,187 --> 00:25:18,015
Never officially assigned
to anyone.
617
00:25:18,059 --> 00:25:20,322
May not even be one of
the ones he gave out.
618
00:25:20,365 --> 00:25:21,584
I mean,
619
00:25:21,628 --> 00:25:23,064
who says every call he gets
620
00:25:23,107 --> 00:25:25,283
from a burner phone
has to be from an informant?
621
00:25:25,327 --> 00:25:26,807
Good point.
622
00:25:26,850 --> 00:25:30,114
Can you run
this one last number again?
623
00:25:30,158 --> 00:25:31,594
I don't even know
if it's possible,
624
00:25:31,638 --> 00:25:33,248
but can you see
what the point of purchase was?
625
00:25:33,291 --> 00:25:35,380
Where whoever owns this thing
might have gotten it from?
626
00:25:35,424 --> 00:25:38,906
It'll at least give me a...
a starting point.
627
00:25:38,949 --> 00:25:40,342
The prosecution would like
628
00:25:40,385 --> 00:25:42,779
to call Ahmaud Coleman
to the stand.
629
00:25:47,262 --> 00:25:48,524
Objection.
630
00:25:48,568 --> 00:25:50,439
Your Honor, this man's name
does not appear
631
00:25:50,482 --> 00:25:51,919
on any witness list.
632
00:25:51,962 --> 00:25:54,399
This is a blatant violation
of the rules of discovery.
633
00:25:54,443 --> 00:25:55,879
Apology
634
00:25:55,923 --> 00:25:57,359
to the court, Your Honor.
635
00:25:57,402 --> 00:25:59,579
This witness just came
to my attention late last night,
636
00:25:59,622 --> 00:26:01,406
when he was arrested
for an unrelated matter.
637
00:26:01,450 --> 00:26:02,625
Your Honor...
638
00:26:02,669 --> 00:26:03,931
You'll be provided
with all the time
639
00:26:03,974 --> 00:26:05,367
you require to prepare
640
00:26:05,410 --> 00:26:07,499
to cross-examine the witness,
Mr. Palmer.
641
00:26:07,543 --> 00:26:09,066
I'd like to proceed.
642
00:26:09,110 --> 00:26:11,547
Yes, Your Honor.
643
00:26:12,635 --> 00:26:14,985
Mr. Coleman,
644
00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:17,292
you and the defendant live
in the same apartment complex.
645
00:26:17,335 --> 00:26:18,902
Is that right?
646
00:26:18,946 --> 00:26:19,903
That's right.
647
00:26:19,947 --> 00:26:21,165
And are you and
the defendant
648
00:26:21,209 --> 00:26:24,386
close friends? Acquaintances?
649
00:26:24,429 --> 00:26:25,953
Neighbors.
650
00:26:25,996 --> 00:26:28,390
I'd mostly see him at
the Housing Authority meetings.
651
00:26:28,433 --> 00:26:30,871
Had to raise hell
to get them to fix anything.
652
00:26:30,914 --> 00:26:33,961
Did the defendant ever share
his feelings about the police
653
00:26:34,004 --> 00:26:36,093
while the two of you were
at one of those meetings?
654
00:26:36,137 --> 00:26:38,356
Yeah. Leo would say
how the only reason
655
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,751
his father was in prison was
the police railroaded him.
656
00:26:41,795 --> 00:26:43,144
Hmm.
657
00:26:43,187 --> 00:26:45,320
Did he say anything else?
658
00:26:45,363 --> 00:26:48,018
Anything that stood out to you?
659
00:26:49,367 --> 00:26:51,631
One day he asked
if I knew anyone
660
00:26:51,674 --> 00:26:53,371
who could help him get a gun.
661
00:26:53,415 --> 00:26:54,982
Oh.
662
00:26:56,505 --> 00:26:57,941
Did Leo Craddicksay why
663
00:26:57,985 --> 00:26:59,290
he wanted a gun?
664
00:26:59,334 --> 00:27:00,640
He just wanted to know
how long it would take.
665
00:27:00,683 --> 00:27:02,206
Said he needed it fast.
666
00:27:02,250 --> 00:27:03,686
Mm-hmm. Was this before
667
00:27:03,730 --> 00:27:06,646
or after Detective Kaminsky
was shot to death?
668
00:27:09,170 --> 00:27:10,911
It was before.
669
00:27:10,954 --> 00:27:14,436
Nothing further
at this time, Your Honor.
670
00:27:14,479 --> 00:27:16,307
You bought a gun
from this guy?
671
00:27:16,351 --> 00:27:18,266
No. Of course not.
672
00:27:18,309 --> 00:27:20,137
There have been a bunch of
break-ins in our building.
673
00:27:20,181 --> 00:27:22,270
I thought about getting
a gun for protection,
674
00:27:22,313 --> 00:27:23,750
but I never
followed through.
675
00:27:30,713 --> 00:27:33,324
So you got picked up
for something last night,
676
00:27:33,368 --> 00:27:34,978
and someone suggested to you
677
00:27:35,022 --> 00:27:36,501
that if you come
into court this morning
678
00:27:36,545 --> 00:27:38,634
and testify against my client,
679
00:27:38,678 --> 00:27:40,854
that things might go
a little easier for you?
680
00:27:40,897 --> 00:27:42,638
Hmm?
681
00:27:43,944 --> 00:27:46,120
The witness will answer
-the question.
No.
682
00:27:46,163 --> 00:27:47,643
That's all right, Your Honor.
683
00:27:47,687 --> 00:27:49,384
We'll give him this one
for free.
684
00:27:49,427 --> 00:27:51,516
Mr. Coleman,
685
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,041
did my client ever buy a gun
from you?
686
00:27:54,084 --> 00:27:55,216
No.
687
00:27:55,259 --> 00:27:57,261
And did my client
ever follow up
688
00:27:57,305 --> 00:27:58,872
with you about buying a gun?
689
00:27:58,915 --> 00:28:00,787
-No.
-So,
690
00:28:00,830 --> 00:28:03,267
my client never bought a gun
from you,
691
00:28:03,311 --> 00:28:06,923
and the two of you never
discussed the subject again?
692
00:28:06,967 --> 00:28:08,446
No.
693
00:28:08,490 --> 00:28:10,100
I see.
694
00:28:10,144 --> 00:28:13,930
So the totality
of your testimony is
695
00:28:13,974 --> 00:28:16,498
that you and my client
had a little chat?
696
00:28:16,541 --> 00:28:18,630
I suppose.
697
00:28:18,674 --> 00:28:21,024
And during that chat,
did my client tell you
698
00:28:21,068 --> 00:28:23,897
that the reason why
he wanted a gun was because
699
00:28:23,940 --> 00:28:25,768
of all of the break-ins
in your building,
700
00:28:25,812 --> 00:28:28,466
and that that is
why he wanted a gun?
701
00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:30,773
You're under oath, Mr. Coleman.
702
00:28:30,817 --> 00:28:33,689
It came up in the conversation.
703
00:28:33,733 --> 00:28:35,691
I bet it did.
704
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,087
I have nothing further
for this... witness.
705
00:28:42,219 --> 00:28:43,786
That was a nice piece
706
00:28:43,830 --> 00:28:45,396
of lawyering, Mr. Palmer.
707
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,137
Thank you.
708
00:28:47,181 --> 00:28:48,399
I'm just doing my job.
709
00:28:48,443 --> 00:28:51,620
And how do you see this going?
710
00:28:51,663 --> 00:28:53,622
What's that jury thinking?
711
00:28:53,665 --> 00:28:55,755
It's hard to say.
712
00:28:55,798 --> 00:28:59,933
And they need 12 to convict,
they need 12 to exonerate.
713
00:28:59,976 --> 00:29:02,718
Anything else,
and we have a hung jury.
714
00:29:02,762 --> 00:29:05,155
You go back to prison,
and then we go
715
00:29:05,199 --> 00:29:07,810
and do this all over again
in eight or nine months.
716
00:29:07,854 --> 00:29:10,465
None of that sounds
like an answer.
717
00:29:12,032 --> 00:29:14,077
They believe
your motive is revenge.
718
00:29:14,121 --> 00:29:17,646
A witness said they saw
you seek out the victim.
719
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:20,083
And someone else said
you wanted to buy a gun.
720
00:29:20,127 --> 00:29:21,302
But I didn't buy one.
721
00:29:21,345 --> 00:29:22,825
But you asked about it.
722
00:29:22,869 --> 00:29:25,088
And we know
there's at least one juror
723
00:29:25,132 --> 00:29:27,743
whose mind we are not
gonna change about you.
724
00:29:30,790 --> 00:29:32,966
Because I look the part.
725
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,926
Put me on the stand.
726
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,624
Let me testify.
Let me tell my story.
727
00:29:39,668 --> 00:29:40,974
Leo, we put you
on the stand,
728
00:29:41,017 --> 00:29:43,106
and that A.D.A.'s
first question is going to be,
729
00:29:43,150 --> 00:29:45,413
"Do you stand
with Black Lives Matter?"
730
00:29:45,456 --> 00:29:46,675
And my answer's gonna be,
731
00:29:46,718 --> 00:29:48,242
"Hell yes, I do!"
732
00:29:48,285 --> 00:29:50,897
Black lives matter. Why is
that even open for debate?
733
00:29:50,940 --> 00:29:54,770
It shouldn't be,
but with this jury, it is.
734
00:29:54,814 --> 00:29:59,383
I want... to testify.
735
00:29:59,427 --> 00:30:01,429
It's my life.
736
00:30:01,472 --> 00:30:04,649
If I'm going to spend the rest
of it behind bars,
737
00:30:04,693 --> 00:30:06,129
I want to look the people
738
00:30:06,173 --> 00:30:09,176
who are going to put me in there
in the eye.
739
00:30:11,526 --> 00:30:14,268
Okay, Leo. Okay.
740
00:30:14,311 --> 00:30:16,139
-Let me think about it.
-Why?
741
00:30:16,183 --> 00:30:19,142
-It's not even your choice.
-Let me think about it.
742
00:30:19,186 --> 00:30:21,536
You do whatever you want.
743
00:30:23,538 --> 00:30:25,845
I've already made up my mind.
744
00:30:27,890 --> 00:30:30,719
Gentlemen,
I have an idea.
745
00:30:33,243 --> 00:30:35,332
Dr. Bull.
746
00:30:35,376 --> 00:30:38,596
Arthur wanted
to have a word.
747
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:41,512
Mr. Colón explained
the situation to me.
748
00:30:41,556 --> 00:30:43,601
I had a thought.
749
00:30:45,647 --> 00:30:49,216
Make me your first witness.
750
00:30:49,259 --> 00:30:50,782
Excuse me?
751
00:30:50,826 --> 00:30:53,742
Can you tell me where I can find
the owner of this bodega?
752
00:30:54,525 --> 00:30:56,223
I don't know.
753
00:30:56,266 --> 00:30:57,615
What do you want him for?
754
00:30:57,659 --> 00:30:58,965
I'm a private investigator,
and I was hoping
755
00:30:59,008 --> 00:31:01,141
he might be able
to give me some information.
756
00:31:01,184 --> 00:31:03,056
About what?
757
00:31:03,099 --> 00:31:05,493
Something somebody bought here.
758
00:31:05,536 --> 00:31:07,495
A phone.
759
00:31:07,538 --> 00:31:10,541
And when did you make the
decision to take an active role
760
00:31:10,585 --> 00:31:12,804
in securing your freedom
from prison?
761
00:31:12,848 --> 00:31:15,416
That's the thing.
762
00:31:15,459 --> 00:31:17,809
It wasn't me. It was Leo.
763
00:31:17,853 --> 00:31:20,943
Whenever he could afford
a stamp, he would write to me.
764
00:31:20,987 --> 00:31:22,902
Tell me how things were going
in school,
765
00:31:22,945 --> 00:31:24,642
send me his test papers,
766
00:31:24,686 --> 00:31:26,079
beg me to let him come visit.
767
00:31:26,122 --> 00:31:31,562
And, uh, even though I dreaded
768
00:31:31,606 --> 00:31:34,696
him seeing me in that place,
769
00:31:34,739 --> 00:31:36,524
him seeing me that way, I...
770
00:31:36,567 --> 00:31:39,875
I finally said "yes."
771
00:31:39,919 --> 00:31:42,878
And the first thing
he said was...
772
00:31:46,273 --> 00:31:51,234
"Pops... we're going
to get you out of here.
773
00:31:54,324 --> 00:31:56,718
"You didn't do this.
774
00:31:56,761 --> 00:31:58,894
"The law is the law,
775
00:31:58,938 --> 00:32:02,115
and you didn't break any laws."
776
00:32:05,945 --> 00:32:09,122
All that mattered to him
was that I was his father.
777
00:32:10,819 --> 00:32:13,561
And that's how it started.
778
00:32:14,562 --> 00:32:17,521
I went to the prison library.
He went to the Bronx library.
779
00:32:17,565 --> 00:32:21,134
And twice a month, he would take
the-the bus up to the prison,
780
00:32:21,177 --> 00:32:23,788
-and we would compare notes.
Your Honor,
781
00:32:23,832 --> 00:32:25,051
I object.
782
00:32:25,094 --> 00:32:28,532
While this is all truly...
783
00:32:28,576 --> 00:32:30,056
fascinating,
784
00:32:30,099 --> 00:32:32,058
it's hard to see
how any of it
785
00:32:32,101 --> 00:32:33,929
is relevant
to the business at hand,
786
00:32:33,973 --> 00:32:36,192
which is the murder
of Detective Kaminsky.
787
00:32:36,236 --> 00:32:37,802
Your Honor, apologies.
788
00:32:37,846 --> 00:32:39,935
The witness is simply trying
to set the table
789
00:32:39,979 --> 00:32:41,502
and create some context.
790
00:32:41,545 --> 00:32:45,201
That's all well and good,
Mr. Palmer, but let's get to it.
791
00:32:46,811 --> 00:32:48,509
-Okay.
792
00:32:48,552 --> 00:32:50,380
Mr. Craddick,
793
00:32:50,424 --> 00:32:54,036
do you believe that your son
murdered Detective Kaminsky?
794
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:55,733
-No, I do not.
Objection.
795
00:32:55,777 --> 00:32:57,561
Calls for speculation.
796
00:32:57,605 --> 00:33:00,303
Besides which, this man
is a convicted murderer.
797
00:33:00,347 --> 00:33:02,392
-Your Honor, the conviction
is in the process
798
00:33:02,436 --> 00:33:05,004
-of being vacated.
Not to mention the fact
799
00:33:05,047 --> 00:33:06,222
that on the night in question,
800
00:33:06,266 --> 00:33:07,049
he was behind bars
801
00:33:07,093 --> 00:33:08,268
and could not possibly know
802
00:33:08,311 --> 00:33:09,399
who did or did not
803
00:33:09,443 --> 00:33:10,661
shoot Detective Kaminsky.
804
00:33:10,705 --> 00:33:12,533
But I do.
805
00:33:12,576 --> 00:33:14,143
Objection.
806
00:33:14,187 --> 00:33:16,406
Sustained.
The jury will disregard.
807
00:33:16,450 --> 00:33:19,235
But, Your Honor, I really do
know who killed the detective.
808
00:33:19,279 --> 00:33:21,194
-Mr. Craddick, I know
you've studied the law,
809
00:33:21,237 --> 00:33:23,544
so I know you know
how this works.
810
00:33:23,587 --> 00:33:26,025
You may not speak
out of turn.
811
00:33:26,068 --> 00:33:27,765
The attorney will ask
812
00:33:27,809 --> 00:33:30,290
a question,
and then you will answer.
813
00:33:31,552 --> 00:33:33,249
Ask me.
814
00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:39,647
Mr. Palmer,
815
00:33:39,690 --> 00:33:41,562
this is your witness.
816
00:33:41,605 --> 00:33:44,173
Ask a question.
817
00:33:45,740 --> 00:33:47,437
Mr. Craddick,
818
00:33:47,481 --> 00:33:50,484
do you know
who killed Detective Kaminsky?
819
00:33:50,527 --> 00:33:52,573
I do.
820
00:33:52,616 --> 00:33:54,009
Okay.
821
00:33:54,053 --> 00:33:56,185
And how is this possible?
822
00:33:56,229 --> 00:33:59,101
Because I'm the one
who paid the man who did it.
823
00:33:59,145 --> 00:34:01,016
-Order!
824
00:34:02,539 --> 00:34:04,541
The jury will restrain itself.
825
00:34:04,585 --> 00:34:06,239
What the hell is he doing?
826
00:34:06,282 --> 00:34:08,241
Your Honor, we move to strike
the witness's last statement.
827
00:34:08,284 --> 00:34:10,330
Mr. Craddick,
are you saying
828
00:34:10,373 --> 00:34:12,680
you were directly involved
in the murder
829
00:34:12,723 --> 00:34:14,290
of Detective Kaminsky?
830
00:34:14,334 --> 00:34:17,206
Don't answer that!
Your Honor, I am this witness's
831
00:34:17,250 --> 00:34:18,599
-attorney.
Your Honor, I knew
832
00:34:18,642 --> 00:34:20,383
Kaminsky was gonna try
to keep me in jail,
833
00:34:20,427 --> 00:34:23,952
so I paid someone on the outside
$25,000 to have him killed
834
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:26,085
so that he couldn't block
my parole.
835
00:34:26,128 --> 00:34:27,912
Y-Your Honor, uh,
I am requesting
836
00:34:27,956 --> 00:34:30,219
-a recess to confer, please.
I object.
837
00:34:30,263 --> 00:34:32,917
The people are entitled
to cross-examine this witness.
838
00:34:32,961 --> 00:34:34,571
Particularly in light
839
00:34:34,615 --> 00:34:36,443
of this preposterous
840
00:34:36,486 --> 00:34:38,271
and transparent attempt to
create reasonable doubt.
841
00:34:38,314 --> 00:34:40,099
All right.
842
00:34:41,143 --> 00:34:42,536
I'm sorry, Ms. Olson,
843
00:34:42,579 --> 00:34:44,668
but we are going to adjourn
for the day.
844
00:34:44,712 --> 00:34:48,107
And unless Mr. Palmer
has any more questions,
845
00:34:48,150 --> 00:34:50,021
when we return,
846
00:34:50,065 --> 00:34:52,285
we will commence
with cross-examination.
847
00:34:52,328 --> 00:34:55,375
Court is adjourned.
848
00:34:55,418 --> 00:34:57,942
You committed perjury.
That's a felony.
849
00:34:57,986 --> 00:34:59,944
You just violated the
terms of your parole.
850
00:34:59,988 --> 00:35:02,556
Arthur, what were you thinking?
851
00:35:03,383 --> 00:35:05,167
I was thinking
that being innocent
852
00:35:05,211 --> 00:35:06,995
wasn't going to keep
my son out of jail.
853
00:35:12,609 --> 00:35:14,002
So, I went to the bodega
hoping whoever
854
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:15,438
sold our man the phone
might have a record
855
00:35:15,482 --> 00:35:17,701
of it and that
he might be willing
856
00:35:17,745 --> 00:35:19,573
to part
with that information
857
00:35:19,616 --> 00:35:21,401
-for enough money.
-And?
858
00:35:21,444 --> 00:35:23,446
And he hadn't
859
00:35:23,490 --> 00:35:24,969
actually sold that phone
to anyone.
860
00:35:25,013 --> 00:35:26,275
It was his phone.
861
00:35:26,319 --> 00:35:28,408
It belonged to the man
who owned the bodega.
862
00:35:28,451 --> 00:35:29,931
Okay, so, now we're saying
863
00:35:29,974 --> 00:35:33,021
that Detective Kaminsky
was killed by some bodega guy?
864
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:34,283
I didn't say that.
865
00:35:34,327 --> 00:35:36,329
I said the phone belonged
to the bodega guy.
866
00:35:36,372 --> 00:35:38,418
Cost me 500 bucks, by the way.
867
00:35:38,461 --> 00:35:40,898
So, why was Bodega Guy
868
00:35:40,942 --> 00:35:42,509
calling Kaminsky the
night of the murder?
869
00:35:42,552 --> 00:35:44,206
Or, for that matter,
870
00:35:44,250 --> 00:35:47,166
any of the other dozens
-of times they spoke?
Well,
871
00:35:47,209 --> 00:35:48,776
let's not talk about the night
of the murder just yet.
872
00:35:48,819 --> 00:35:50,299
And all the other times
that Kaminsky
873
00:35:50,343 --> 00:35:51,692
and the bodega guy talked
874
00:35:51,735 --> 00:35:53,215
was because
they were conducting business.
875
00:35:53,259 --> 00:35:54,477
Business?
876
00:35:54,521 --> 00:35:55,783
The bodega guy
877
00:35:55,826 --> 00:35:57,437
was supplying Kaminsky
with Adderall.
878
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,134
Apparently,
he used it to stay up late.
879
00:35:59,178 --> 00:36:00,875
Used it the way people chew gum.
880
00:36:00,918 --> 00:36:03,530
I'm following you, but I have
no idea where you're going.
881
00:36:03,573 --> 00:36:04,705
Oh, Danny,
put them out of their misery.
882
00:36:04,748 --> 00:36:06,228
Get to the good stuff.
883
00:36:06,272 --> 00:36:09,362
It turns out the bodega guy
got busted by two cops
884
00:36:09,405 --> 00:36:11,364
five days
before Kaminsky's murder.
885
00:36:11,407 --> 00:36:13,975
But instead of arresting him,
the cops took all his money,
886
00:36:14,018 --> 00:36:17,283
his drugs and his burner phone.
887
00:36:17,326 --> 00:36:19,067
Okay, so, wait.
Now you're saying
888
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:21,243
you think that the people
that were calling Kaminsky
889
00:36:21,287 --> 00:36:23,898
the night of his murder
were cops?
890
00:36:23,941 --> 00:36:25,900
We know they were cops.
And now that Taylor
891
00:36:25,943 --> 00:36:28,555
has broken the encryption
on Kaminsky's phone,
892
00:36:28,598 --> 00:36:32,123
I think we have enough
to prove they killed him.
893
00:36:39,305 --> 00:36:42,177
Well, thank you for agreeing to
meet us so early in the morning.
894
00:36:43,657 --> 00:36:45,833
This better be good.
895
00:36:45,876 --> 00:36:47,574
So, when Kaminsky wanted
to buy more Adderall,
896
00:36:47,617 --> 00:36:48,879
he couldn't get his connect
on the phone,
897
00:36:48,923 --> 00:36:50,925
so he went
to see him in person.
898
00:36:50,968 --> 00:36:52,796
And that's when he discovered
the two detectives he knew
899
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,191
were shaking down small-time
drug dealers, including his.
900
00:36:57,018 --> 00:37:00,021
So you think he threatened
to go to Internal Affairs?
901
00:37:01,022 --> 00:37:02,328
I know he did.
902
00:37:02,371 --> 00:37:05,505
Our technical team
unencrypted their conversations.
903
00:37:05,548 --> 00:37:06,767
They said
904
00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:08,072
they would kill him
905
00:37:08,116 --> 00:37:10,466
if he threatened to
destroy their lives.
906
00:37:11,685 --> 00:37:12,903
Our first witness this morning
907
00:37:12,947 --> 00:37:14,644
is scheduled to be
the bodega owner.
908
00:37:14,688 --> 00:37:15,950
The drug dealer.
909
00:37:15,993 --> 00:37:17,081
Who will identify
910
00:37:17,125 --> 00:37:18,822
the two detectives
who shook him down
911
00:37:18,866 --> 00:37:20,520
in exchange for leniency
912
00:37:20,563 --> 00:37:23,174
because he is unmasking
two corrupt cops.
913
00:37:23,218 --> 00:37:26,787
Unless, of course, you'd rather
he didn't testify for us
914
00:37:26,830 --> 00:37:28,789
but instead testified for you
915
00:37:28,832 --> 00:37:31,748
when you bring charges
against these two detectives.
916
00:37:46,546 --> 00:37:48,461
As the, uh, people
917
00:37:48,504 --> 00:37:50,637
and the defense
were in agreement,
918
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,292
I was expecting to enter
a finding of "not guilty"
919
00:37:53,335 --> 00:37:54,815
in this matter.
920
00:37:54,858 --> 00:37:57,252
However,
Judge Argawal informed me
921
00:37:57,296 --> 00:38:00,124
of Mr. Craddick's recent
outburst in her courtroom.
922
00:38:00,168 --> 00:38:02,823
Can you explain your
actions, Mr. Craddick?
923
00:38:02,866 --> 00:38:05,956
If I may, Your Honor,
my client's actions
924
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,046
were not born
out of any contempt for the law
925
00:38:09,090 --> 00:38:12,049
but were those, simply,
of a desperate father
926
00:38:12,093 --> 00:38:13,660
trying to protect his son.
927
00:38:13,703 --> 00:38:17,794
Now, Mr. Craddick
deeply regrets his outburst.
928
00:38:17,838 --> 00:38:20,754
But, in light of the unusual
circumstances of this case,
929
00:38:20,797 --> 00:38:23,800
I ask that the court
show some mercy
930
00:38:23,844 --> 00:38:27,543
and rule favorably
on our petition.
931
00:38:33,332 --> 00:38:35,377
Your Honor,
932
00:38:35,421 --> 00:38:38,859
Mr. Craddick has endured
12 years in prison
933
00:38:38,902 --> 00:38:42,776
for a crime he did not commit,
and...
934
00:38:42,819 --> 00:38:46,736
the people will not compound his
suffering by pressing charges
935
00:38:46,780 --> 00:38:47,868
at this time.
936
00:38:47,911 --> 00:38:49,043
The people
937
00:38:49,086 --> 00:38:50,436
likewise request
938
00:38:50,479 --> 00:38:53,264
that the court enter a finding
of "not guilty."
939
00:38:54,135 --> 00:38:57,312
Mr. Craddick,
if I could ask you to stand.
940
00:39:03,187 --> 00:39:06,539
Mr. Craddick, some wrongs
are impossible to make right.
941
00:39:06,582 --> 00:39:09,498
But occasionally,
we are given the opportunity
942
00:39:09,542 --> 00:39:12,022
to offer a small correction
943
00:39:12,066 --> 00:39:14,068
to the grotesque cruelties
944
00:39:14,111 --> 00:39:17,506
that are suffered
in the name of justice.
945
00:39:19,247 --> 00:39:23,077
I'm going to rule in favor
of you, the petitioner.
946
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,515
A verdict of "not guilty" will
be entered into the record
947
00:39:26,559 --> 00:39:29,997
along with the
apologies of the court.
948
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,044
Mr. Craddick, you're free to go.
949
00:39:59,505 --> 00:40:01,071
So, what do you know?
950
00:40:01,115 --> 00:40:03,378
-Is the A.D.A. gonna play ball?
-Well,
951
00:40:03,422 --> 00:40:04,553
she hasn't said
anything yet.
952
00:40:04,597 --> 00:40:06,337
All I know is people
953
00:40:06,381 --> 00:40:08,470
with D.A. medallions
hanging from their necks
954
00:40:08,514 --> 00:40:11,691
keep showing up and speaking
-passionately with her.
All rise.
955
00:40:17,871 --> 00:40:19,046
All right, then.
956
00:40:19,089 --> 00:40:21,309
I believe it's now
957
00:40:21,352 --> 00:40:23,311
the prosecution's turn
to cross-examine
958
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:25,226
Mr. Arthur Craddick.
959
00:40:25,269 --> 00:40:27,271
Could we please have
Mr. Craddick take his place
960
00:40:27,315 --> 00:40:29,491
-in the witness box?
Your Honor,
961
00:40:29,535 --> 00:40:31,841
before we continue,
there's a matter
962
00:40:31,885 --> 00:40:34,496
we'd very much like to bring
to the court's attention.
963
00:40:34,540 --> 00:40:36,629
A few moments ago,
I was able
964
00:40:36,672 --> 00:40:38,065
to confirm
that an arrest warrant
965
00:40:38,108 --> 00:40:40,807
had been issued
for Detective Ryan Pierson.
966
00:40:40,850 --> 00:40:43,984
Just this morning,
investigators uncovered evidence
967
00:40:44,027 --> 00:40:45,202
implicating Pierson
968
00:40:45,246 --> 00:40:47,335
in the murder
of Detective Joe Kaminsky.
969
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:49,468
In light of this,
970
00:40:49,511 --> 00:40:50,947
and other evidence provided
971
00:40:50,991 --> 00:40:53,472
in conjunction
with an ongoing investigation
972
00:40:53,515 --> 00:40:54,690
with Internal Affairs,
973
00:40:54,734 --> 00:40:58,302
the people
are informing the court
974
00:40:58,346 --> 00:40:59,826
that we are dismissing
975
00:40:59,869 --> 00:41:02,524
all charges
against Leo Craddick.
976
00:41:03,699 --> 00:41:05,527
And, Mr. Craddick,
977
00:41:05,571 --> 00:41:08,965
I'm so sorry for all
that you've been through.
978
00:41:09,009 --> 00:41:10,837
Ladies and gentlemen,
979
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,405
the court thanks the jury
for its service.
980
00:41:14,449 --> 00:41:17,060
This case is dismissed.
981
00:41:33,337 --> 00:41:34,643
You were right.
982
00:41:34,687 --> 00:41:35,992
About which thing?
983
00:41:36,036 --> 00:41:37,428
Belief perseverance.
984
00:41:37,472 --> 00:41:38,691
People get an idea
in their head,
985
00:41:38,734 --> 00:41:40,867
and they see the world
in a certain way.
986
00:41:40,910 --> 00:41:42,042
Yeah.
987
00:41:45,262 --> 00:41:48,527
I'll meet you guys outside.
988
00:41:52,922 --> 00:41:54,881
Excuse me.
989
00:41:54,924 --> 00:41:56,447
Um,
990
00:41:56,491 --> 00:41:58,667
sorry to bother you, but I...
I couldn't help but notice
991
00:41:58,711 --> 00:42:00,451
when the judge
dismissed the case,
992
00:42:00,495 --> 00:42:02,758
you looked upset.
993
00:42:03,629 --> 00:42:06,022
No. No big deal.
994
00:42:06,066 --> 00:42:07,807
I'm just...
995
00:42:08,851 --> 00:42:11,288
What can I say?
996
00:42:11,332 --> 00:42:14,422
I was absolutely convinced
997
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:16,206
that the man was guilty.
998
00:42:16,250 --> 00:42:17,643
Hmm.
999
00:42:17,686 --> 00:42:20,167
Guess I was wrong.
1000
00:42:20,210 --> 00:42:22,473
It happens.
