If you told the detective
that you knew Natalia was a kid,

then you're probably guilty too.

If these charges hold,
we could be gone for 75 years.

We have a natural advantage

171
00:08:34,514 --> 00:08:35,973
[Kristine]
Did you look into First Path?
172
00:08:35,974 --> 00:08:39,226
They were changing birth dates,
fudging documents.
173
00:08:39,227 --> 00:08:41,812
- There was a whole class action lawsuit.
- [Terrance] Yep, yep.
174
00:08:41,813 --> 00:08:45,315
That suit absolutely goes towards, uh,
discrediting Natalia's age,
175
00:08:45,316 --> 00:08:46,900
but it doesn't confirm it.
176
00:08:46,901 --> 00:08:48,652
So, who else?
177
00:08:48,653 --> 00:08:52,072
Doctors, uh, outside of Lawrence?
178
00:08:52,073 --> 00:08:56,578
I just cannot believe I'm here again.
179
00:08:57,620 --> 00:08:58,788
This is literal hell!
180
00:08:59,539 --> 00:09:04,126
Okay. Well, um... maybe we could think
about people
181
00:09:04,127 --> 00:09:07,796
who could speak
to her behavior, uh, the violence.
182
00:09:07,797 --> 00:09:09,716
- What about somebody from the school?
- Oh.
183
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:13,177
[Jackie Starbuck] [on video]
So, Dr. Wachter,
184
00:09:13,178 --> 00:09:14,511
one thing the defense will argue
185
00:09:14,512 --> 00:09:18,057
is that Natalia was expelled
for behavioral issues.
186
00:09:18,058 --> 00:09:20,225
Yeah, I heard that Mrs. Barnett
was saying
187
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:24,646
that she had pulled Natalia out of school
because she was a danger to other kids,
188
00:09:24,647 --> 00:09:27,566
she was bullying them,
ramming them with her walker.
189
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,110
- But that's baloney.
- [Kristine] That's a dead-end.
190
00:09:30,111 --> 00:09:31,779
He blacklisted me 'cause I called out
191
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:33,989
the way they treated kids
with disabilities.
192
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,951
Natalia was the sweetest kid.
Polite, funny.
193
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:40,245
Uh, honestly, it was the mom
who made me nervous.
194
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,916
I offered accessibility training,
and they laughed in my face.
195
00:09:43,917 --> 00:09:45,167
They were hostile.
196
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:47,920
She was really strict
with Natalia, and mean.
197
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,005
But if you raised that with her,
she would flip
198
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:54,844
and say what an advocate
she was for special kids.
199
00:09:55,845 --> 00:09:57,554
- [Kristine sighs]
- Okay, what about the mom
200
00:09:57,555 --> 00:10:00,391
from New Jersey, right?
She had the same issues that we had.
201
00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:02,226
[Mary Leones] [on video]
She showed up at my door
202
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:03,394
with this theory
203
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:08,023
that Natalia was a con artist
stealing money for her medical care.
204
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,983
[scoffs] She kept saying
205
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:13,195
that it was exactly like
that movie Orphan.
206
00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:16,073
[Jackie]
And did that track at all for you?
207
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:19,368
What, that she was a con artist?
No.
208
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:21,161
The last time I saw her, she was seven.
209
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:23,288
No way.
What's she gonna do?
210
00:10:23,289 --> 00:10:26,083
Get up there and say,
"Yeah, I knew she was an adult,
211
00:10:26,084 --> 00:10:28,502
so I foisted her on another family"?
212
00:10:28,503 --> 00:10:30,087
She'll just lie.
213
00:10:30,088 --> 00:10:33,048
[Jackie] [on video]
So, why did you, then, give her up?
214
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:36,219
Her needs were more
than we were prepared for.
215
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,680
We thought that we were
doing the right thing,
216
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:43,184
giving her to a family
that was better equipped to care for her.
217
00:10:44,436 --> 00:10:45,603
[sighs]
218
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:49,648
I'll never forgive myself for that.
219
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,984
I don't know,
she was totally honest with you, right?
220
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:54,153
About-- about her son's birthday,
221
00:10:54,154 --> 00:10:56,530
and-- and how Natalia stole money
from them, right?
222
00:10:56,531 --> 00:10:58,115
That's different, sweetie.
223
00:10:58,116 --> 00:11:01,160
Me on the street versus in court?
224
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:04,079
She'll never tell the truth.
She has blood on her hands.
225
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,499
[Terrance] Okay, um, what about
the psychiatric hospital?
226
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,461
I'm a pediatric nurse
at Larue Psychiatric Hospital.
227
00:11:10,462 --> 00:11:13,882
Natalia was on my rotation
when they changed her age.
228
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:17,885
I was worried about what
might happen to a child
229
00:11:17,886 --> 00:11:20,596
in the adult wing
of a psychiatric facility.
230
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:23,767
But it was court-ordered.
I didn't have a choice.
231
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,061
Natalia's very good
at making people feel sorry for her,
232
00:11:27,062 --> 00:11:29,563
especially vulnerable people.
233
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:31,065
It's what she did to Mike.
234
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:34,818
That's part of sociopathy:
manipulation.
235
00:11:34,819 --> 00:11:38,113
[Toni] [on video] I have no idea where
this talk of sociopathy came from.
236
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:42,159
Natalia expressed joy, curiosity, empathy.
237
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,455
I mean, despite the mother's insistence,
there was no diagnosis.
238
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:49,124
Is there no one
who can talk on our behalf?
239
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:52,169
Don't be ridiculous.
There's plenty of people.
240
00:11:52,170 --> 00:11:53,462
What about the neighbors?
241
00:11:53,463 --> 00:11:57,049
I practically had to beg that woman
not to call the cops on her.
242
00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:59,719
She was always asking for food
or to use my phone.
243
00:12:00,804 --> 00:12:02,680
She was dirty.
244
00:12:02,681 --> 00:12:07,102
I thought she was peculiar,
but now knowing, it all adds up.
245
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,436
[sighs]
246
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:13,357
I was so peeved about what she did
to my grandson,
247
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:16,778
but turns out she was
even younger than he was.
248
00:12:18,238 --> 00:12:19,864
So, that's it then.
249
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:23,076
I'm toast.
250
00:12:24,786 --> 00:12:27,830
I wish she had held me up
against that fence until I fried.
251
00:12:27,831 --> 00:12:30,624
- Oh, my God...
- This is so much worse!

I hope Natalia knows,
254
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:38,382
if I'd known what was really going on,
I'd have done something.
255
00:12:38,383 --> 00:12:41,343
I-- I hope this helps get her
256
00:12:41,344 --> 00:12:44,097
- the justice she deserves.

Now, is this gonna hurt us,
259
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,060
since Tally first told that gal
she was 22?
260
00:12:50,061 --> 00:12:52,062
Because Kristine told me to.
261
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:53,939
I understand that, baby.
262
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:56,275
I'm asking if the judge
will understand it.
263
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:59,653
We'll have psychologists speak
to the coercion Natalia faced,
264
00:12:59,654 --> 00:13:01,196
the Stockholm syndrome.
265
00:13:01,197 --> 00:13:04,533
You're feeling confident then?
Nothing keeping you up at night?
266
00:13:04,534 --> 00:13:06,368
Will you stop?
She said she feels good.
267
00:13:06,369 --> 00:13:08,120
Well, no, no, no. I didn't say that.
268
00:13:08,121 --> 00:13:09,955
Optimism gives me indigestion.
269
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:12,916
I still wish we had
a clear story for the jury
270
00:13:12,917 --> 00:13:17,504
to explain why a nice-seeming couple
would do something so god-awful.
271
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:20,382
We've been scouring their texts
to see if they ever talk about you,
272

but it's almost nothing.
273
00:13:24,012 --> 00:13:26,764
Wait, did you check her Facebook?

00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:27,890
Why?

Oh, really?
So, the Kristine Barnett

didn't swoop in and save the day?
286

Oh God, it was brutal.
287
00:14:05,178 --> 00:14:08,972
It's like being tortured,
beaten to a pulp.
288

Trials are pugilism.

they will offer us immunity

I would be happy to, you know,
send a letter to your board,
340
00:16:36,037 --> 00:16:37,621
or whatever you might need.
341
00:16:37,622 --> 00:16:39,665
Oh yeah, yes.
Yes, wonderful.
342
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:42,502
- Thank you, speak soon.
- I'm looking forward to it.
343
00:16:43,503 --> 00:16:45,005
God bless the children.
344
00:16:46,423 --> 00:16:48,507
You are a literal godsend.
345
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:51,135
[laughing]
Well, gotta do something
346
00:16:51,136 --> 00:16:53,429
to help you pay me back for all
those fancy lawyers, right?
347
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:55,764
[laughing]
348
00:16:55,765 --> 00:16:56,932
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
349
00:16:56,933 --> 00:17:00,227
You know I am happy to help
however I can, truly.
350
00:17:00,228 --> 00:17:03,939
You know, the lawyers
say if Mike gets off,
351
00:17:03,940 --> 00:17:05,442
they'll drop my charges too.
352
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:08,277
- That's great!
- But the witnesses
353
00:17:08,278 --> 00:17:13,033
his team is bringing in
are just... terrible.
354
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:17,286
- Would you ever be willing?
- Yeah.
355
00:17:17,287 --> 00:17:18,996
No, of-- [scoffs] of course.
356
00:17:18,997 --> 00:17:22,499
I mean, you know I'm happy
to sing your praises whenever I can!
357
00:17:22,500 --> 00:17:25,794
Mainly, it would be talking
about Natalia and what you saw,
358
00:17:25,795 --> 00:17:29,256
how violent she was and manipulative,
359
00:17:29,257 --> 00:17:32,051
and how she was a threat
to me and my family.
360
00:17:32,052 --> 00:17:34,345
- [♪ tense music playing]
- Right.
361
00:17:34,346 --> 00:17:37,057
Sorry, I'm just--
I'm just trying to think.
362
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:43,187
I don't know that I actually
saw saw any of the incidents.
363
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:45,189
You just told Irena all about it.
364
00:17:45,190 --> 00:17:46,899
[scoffs] Well, sure.
365
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,234
But I mean, that's all stuff
that you told me.
366
00:17:49,235 --> 00:17:52,697
I-- I can't go into court and say
that I saw things I didn't see, right?
367
00:17:53,698 --> 00:17:55,699
What do they always say on those shows?
368
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:57,994
Uh, "Objection! Hearsay."
[slight chuckle]
369
00:18:00,372 --> 00:18:01,830
Right.
No, I wouldn't want you
370
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:03,917
to do anything
you're not comfortable with.
371
00:18:07,045 --> 00:18:09,296
- [knocking]
- [door opens]
372
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:12,049
We got the Facebook messages,
and holy shit,
373
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:13,718
hold onto your butts.
374
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:19,640
[Terrance] These messages
are the most incriminating evidence
375
00:18:19,641 --> 00:18:21,558
I've seen in my entire career.
376
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:26,438
For starters, you both use
the M-word repeatedly
377
00:18:26,439 --> 00:18:29,234
- when referring to Natalia.
- What's the M-word?
378
00:18:32,862 --> 00:18:35,364
[Terrance] No matter how many times
we say that you cared for Natalia,
379
00:18:35,365 --> 00:18:37,741
using an epithet against
little people proves bias,
380
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:39,910
- and that indicates intent.
- That's not fair!
381
00:18:39,911 --> 00:18:41,871
Uh, I didn't know it was a bad word.
Kris, did you?
382
00:18:44,916 --> 00:18:47,209
These words go in and out
of fashion all the time.
383
00:18:47,210 --> 00:18:49,712
Oh-- Well, okay, Michael,
384
00:18:49,713 --> 00:18:52,923
you also referred to her as "that thing,"
385
00:18:52,924 --> 00:18:56,385
as in, "That thing totally blew people
for McDonald's."
386
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:59,889
And Kristine, you called her
"a smoked-out, hungover hooker."
387
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:02,725
That doesn't sound like me.
388
00:19:02,726 --> 00:19:04,477
- [chuckling scoff]
- [papers rustling]
389

[paper stack thuds]
390
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,150
Who hasn't said ugly things
about a person who was cruel to them?
391
00:19:11,151 --> 00:19:12,609
She was torturing us.
392
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:14,570
[Terrance] Honestly, it doesn't matter
what you said.
393
00:19:14,571 --> 00:19:16,238
It's that you didn't
tell us about this crap,
394
00:19:16,239 --> 00:19:18,032
and the trial starts tomorrow.
395
00:19:18,033 --> 00:19:20,617
Well, these were private messages,
and we were married.
396
00:19:20,618 --> 00:19:22,786
In a case involving a child,
spousal privilege doesn't hold.
397
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:24,913
- She isn't a child!
- The charges say she is.
398
00:19:24,914 --> 00:19:28,250
And so did Michael, which is why
even though she's legally an adult,
399
00:19:28,251 --> 00:19:30,669
they're able to say
you abandoned a child.
400
00:19:30,670 --> 00:19:32,629
They-- they can't read these
in the courtroom.
401
00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:34,131
No kidding.
402
00:19:34,132 --> 00:19:36,884
[sighs]
Deidra and I are going to huddle up,
403
00:19:36,885 --> 00:19:38,177
get back into these case files,
404
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:40,137
- and see if we can get these stricken.
- [exhales sharply]
405
00:19:40,138 --> 00:19:42,682
In the meantime, you two,
get your shit together.
406
00:19:43,683 --> 00:19:45,184
Read through these.
407
00:19:45,185 --> 00:19:49,480
Be prepared for what
the other side now knows.
408
00:19:49,481 --> 00:19:51,523
And I'm gonna call you an Uber,
my friend,
409
00:19:51,524 --> 00:19:53,818
because you don't look fit to drive.
[patting back]
410
00:19:55,028 --> 00:19:57,322
It's okay.
I'll take him.
411
00:19:58,323 --> 00:19:59,741
We can go through this stuff together.
412
00:20:03,244 --> 00:20:06,121
[Natalia] "I have a video of you
whooping the holy freaking hell
413
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:08,707
"out of Natalia in the living room
414
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,877
when you tried to beat
the truth outta her."
415
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,755
Then she says, "Whatever.
416
00:20:14,756 --> 00:20:17,675
That midget was very evil,
and you know it."
417

[kids playing in distance]
418
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,646
I mean, the worse they are,
the better for me, right?
419
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:32,732
I knew it was bad.
420
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,235
But getting in their heads,
421
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:38,028
understanding how they saw you,
422
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:39,906
the words they used to talk about you?
423
00:20:41,366 --> 00:20:43,201
I hate that you have to see all this.
424
00:20:45,453 --> 00:20:48,164
It's the way a lot of people
talk about people like me.
425
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:54,795
I'm just saying,
if you decide it's too much,
426
00:20:54,796 --> 00:20:57,381
that you don't want to go to court,
we've got you.
427
00:20:57,382 --> 00:20:59,217
I promise.
428
00:21:01,678 --> 00:21:03,471
I'm not a kid anymore, Brandon.
429
00:21:04,639 --> 00:21:06,766
When I tell you I can handle this...
430
00:21:08,143 --> 00:21:09,644
I need you to listen.
431
00:21:12,564 --> 00:21:14,773
[Kristine] Why would you write
something like that in a message?!
432
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:16,483
That you beat her?
Because you did!
433
00:21:16,484 --> 00:21:18,277
And-- and you wrote right back
like it was nothing,
434
00:21:18,278 --> 00:21:20,237
like you were proud!
435
00:21:20,238 --> 00:21:22,323
Whatever.
She was evil, and you know it.
436
00:21:23,033 --> 00:21:25,659
I was just trying to protect
my family from her.
437
00:21:25,660 --> 00:21:28,996
When you take it out of context,
it makes me sound like a monster!
438
00:21:28,997 --> 00:21:31,040
I swear, Michael,
if I go to jail because of you...
439

[scoffs]
440
00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:38,006
- What's so funny?
- Nothing, it's just... it's ironical.
441
00:21:41,343 --> 00:21:44,011
[Kristine] I'm not gonna let you
pull that crap with me, Michael.
442
00:21:44,012 --> 00:21:45,263
What is funny?
443
00:21:48,433 --> 00:21:50,852
Terrance says that if I'm found guilty...
444
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:55,774
they'll probably offer me immunity
to testify against you.
445
00:21:56,858 --> 00:22:01,196
Apparently, the state wants you so bad
that they're willing to let me off.

[♪ tense music playing]

I know you don't wanna go
to jail, Michael.

00:22:25,637 --> 00:22:27,639
I know you wanna stay
with your new family.
452
00:22:28,682 --> 00:22:31,434
But I don't really think
you want me to go to jail, do you?
453
00:22:33,395 --> 00:22:34,562
Can you live with that?

I don't know.
456
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:52,246
We should go somewhere
and go through these, like Terrance said.
457
00:22:52,247 --> 00:22:53,998
Maybe there's a way I can help.
458
00:22:58,795 --> 00:23:02,172
It should be quiet in here.

- Can we please talk about what's going on?

I'm helping your dad.

But you said that he hurt you.

that Miss Starbuck would waltz in here
678
00:35:23,665 --> 00:35:27,376
on the day our proceedings are to begin
and attempt to trick this court
679
00:35:27,377 --> 00:35:30,754
into relitigating, uh, Miss Barnett's age.
680
00:35:30,755 --> 00:35:33,966
Miss Barnett filed countless petitions
to change her age,
681
00:35:33,967 --> 00:35:36,051
each of which was denied by the court,
682
00:35:36,052 --> 00:35:38,178
who upheld the fact
that she was an adult
683
00:35:38,179 --> 00:35:41,098
when the, uh, Barnetts
rented her an apartment.
684
00:35:41,099 --> 00:35:43,809
Your Honor, the state
has unequivocal evidence
685
00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:48,856
that Natalia was eight years old when
the Barnetts abandoned her, alone.
686
00:35:48,857 --> 00:35:50,774
[Terrance] You know,
I should thank you, Miss Starbuck,
687
00:35:50,775 --> 00:35:52,651
because in trying to relitigate this,
688
00:35:52,652 --> 00:35:54,319
you forced me to go back
through paperwork

691
00:35:59,117 --> 00:36:03,912
Um, the state was previously granted
the opportunity to appeal the decision
692
00:36:03,913 --> 00:36:07,291
in Miss Barnett's 2017 re-aging trial,
and they opted not to.
693
00:36:07,292 --> 00:36:10,044
And so, now, here we are,
five years later,
694
00:36:10,045 --> 00:36:12,755
and they wanna waste the court's time
by suddenly trying to appeal?
695

has circumnavigated the globe by now.

of Miss Barnett's age into court.

[Jackie] I'm sorry,
but the question of Natalia's age
703

hinge on the question of her age!

710
00:36:49,250 --> 00:36:52,378
declined to appeal the ruling
of Natalia's age in 2017?
711
00:36:52,379 --> 00:36:54,129
- Yes, Your Honor, but--
- Hold that thought.

[Judge Huss]
Okay, this court will not set precedent
718
00:37:12,357 --> 00:37:15,317
for a criminal case
to attack civil decisions,
719
00:37:15,318 --> 00:37:17,736
especially ones that have been
upheld so many times.
720
00:37:17,737 --> 00:37:20,781
The state had ample opportunity
721
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:24,284
to appeal the results
of Natalia's age in 2017,
722
00:37:24,285 --> 00:37:25,619
and they declined.
723
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:29,081
So, I hereby grant the defense's motion
to dismiss the four charges
724
00:37:29,082 --> 00:37:31,834

Please, Your Honor,
I beg you to reconsider this.

Rule number one,

00:37:48,685 --> 00:37:52,646
Natalia may not be called
a child or an adult.
732

If the notion of her age
must be referenced,
733
00:37:55,775 --> 00:38:00,155
she may be referred to as,
"a person born in 1989."
734
00:38:01,740 --> 00:38:04,450
The word "adoption"
and discussion of her schooling
735
00:38:04,451 --> 00:38:07,704
are also barred,
as those relate to her age.
736
00:38:10,707 --> 00:38:13,917
Rule number two, the topic of Natalia
737
00:38:13,918 --> 00:38:17,213
having been re-aged is off-limits.
738
