00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:28,465
who tried to support
your capable adult dependent
167
00:08:28,466 --> 00:08:29,717
as best you could.
168
00:08:29,718 --> 00:08:31,677
So, let's start with the age.
169
00:08:31,678 --> 00:08:32,971
Who else can speak to that?
170
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:34,513
[Michael exhales sharply]
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
{\an8}Natalia was the sweetest kid.
Polite, funny.
193
00:09:37,452 --> 00:09:40,245
{\an8}Uh, honestly, it was the mom
who made me nervous.
194
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:43,916
{\an8}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
{\an8}She was really strict
with Natalia, and mean.
197
00:09:47,921 --> 00:09:50,005
{\an8}But if you raised that with her,
she would flip
198
00:09:50,006 --> 00:09:54,844
{\an8}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 --> 00:10:00,390
from New Jersey, right?
She had the same issues that we had.
201
00:10:00,391 --> 00:10:02,226
[Mary Leones] [on video]
She showed up at my door
202
00:10:02,227 --> 00:10:03,393
with this theory
203
00:10:03,394 --> 00:10:08,023
{\an8}that Natalia was a con artist
stealing money for her medical care.
204
00:10:08,024 --> 00:10:09,983
{\an8}[scoffs] She kept saying
205
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:13,195
{\an8}that it was exactly like
that movie Orphan.
206
00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:16,073
{\an8}[Jackie]
And did that track at all for you?
207
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:19,368
{\an8}What, that she was a con artist?
No.
208
00:10:19,369 --> 00:10:21,161
{\an8}The last time I saw her, she was seven.
209
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:23,288
{\an8}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
{\an8}[Jackie] [on video]
So, why did you, then, give her up?
214
00:10:33,049 --> 00:10:36,219
{\an8}Her needs were more
than we were prepared for.
215
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,680
{\an8}We thought that we were
doing the right thing,
216
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:43,184
{\an8}giving her to a family
that was better equipped to care for her.
217
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:45,603
{\an8}[sighs]
218
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:49,648
{\an8}I'll never forgive myself for that.
219
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:51,984
{\an8}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 --> 00:11:10,460
{\an8}I'm a pediatric nurse
at Larue Psychiatric Hospital.
227
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:13,882
{\an8}Natalia was on my rotation
when they changed her age.
228
00:11:15,258 --> 00:11:17,885
{\an8}I was worried about what
might happen to a child
229
00:11:17,886 --> 00:11:20,596
{\an8}in the adult wing
of a psychiatric facility.
230
00:11:20,597 --> 00:11:23,766
{\an8}But it was court-ordered.
I didn't have a choice.
231
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:27,060
Natalia's very good
at making people feel sorry for her,
232
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:29,563
especially vulnerable people.
233
00:11:29,564 --> 00:11:31,064
It's what she did to Mike.
234
00:11:31,065 --> 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
{\an8}Natalia expressed joy, curiosity, empathy.
237
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,455
{\an8}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
{\an8}She was always asking for food
or to use my phone.
243
00:12:00,803 --> 00:12:02,679
{\an8}She was dirty.
244
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:07,101
{\an8}I thought she was peculiar,
but now knowing, it all adds up.
245
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:08,436
{\an8}[sighs]
246
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:13,357
{\an8}I was so peeved about what she did
to my grandson,
247
00:12:13,358 --> 00:12:16,778
{\an8}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 --> 00:12:27,829
I wish she had held me up
against that fence until I fried.

- This is so much worse!

I hope Natalia knows,
254
00:12:34,337 --> 00:12:38,382
{\an8}if I'd known what was really going on,
I'd have done something.

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?

Will you stop?
She said she feels good.

Well, no, no, no. I didn't say that.

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.

Oh God, it was brutal.

00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:19,102
is Kristine is the real deal.
333
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:21,021
My daughter Shawn? [sighs]
334
00:16:21,022 --> 00:16:23,064
My God, what we went through
when we adopted her,
335
00:16:23,065 --> 00:16:25,984
and now, she's going to be
a freshman at Penn
336
00:16:25,985 --> 00:16:27,444
because of Kristine.
337
00:16:27,445 --> 00:16:29,196
She completely changed our lives.
338
00:16:29,197 --> 00:16:31,823
Wow, that's very powerful.
339
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:36,036
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 --> 00:16:39,664
Oh yeah, yes.
Yes, wonderful.
342
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:42,501
- Thank you, speak soon.
- I'm looking forward to it.
343
00:16:43,502 --> 00:16:45,004
God bless the children.
344
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:48,506
You are a literal godsend.
345
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:51,134
[laughing]
Well, gotta do something
346
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:53,428
to help you pay me back for all
those fancy lawyers, right?
347
00:16:53,429 --> 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 --> 00:17:05,441
they'll drop my charges too.
352
00:17:06,651 --> 00:17:08,276
- That's great!
- But the witnesses
353
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:13,032
his team is bringing in
are just... terrible.
354
00:17:15,076 --> 00:17:17,285
- Would you ever be willing?
- Yeah.
355
00:17:17,286 --> 00:17:18,995
No, of-- [scoffs] of course.
356
00:17:18,996 --> 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 --> 00:17:32,050
and how she was a threat
to me and my family.
360
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:34,344
- [♪ tense music playing]
- Right.
361
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:37,056
Sorry, I'm just--
I'm just trying to think.
362
00:17:38,099 --> 00:17:43,186
I don't know that I actually
saw saw any of the incidents.
363
00:17:43,187 --> 00:17:45,188
You just told Irena all about it.
364
00:17:45,189 --> 00:17:46,898
[scoffs] Well, sure.
365
00:17:46,899 --> 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
00:18:00,371 --> 00:18:01,830
Right.
No, I wouldn't want you
370
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:03,916
to do anything
you're not comfortable with.
371
00:18:07,044 --> 00:18:09,296
- [knocking]
- [door opens]
372
00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:12,048
We got the Facebook messages,
and holy shit,
373
00:18:12,049 --> 00:18:13,718
hold onto your butts.
374
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:19,639
[Terrance] These messages
are the most incriminating evidence
375
00:18:19,640 --> 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 --> 00:18:29,233
- when referring to Natalia.
- What's the M-word?
378
00:18:32,862 --> 00:18:35,363
[Terrance] No matter how many times
we say that you cared for Natalia,
379
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:37,741
using an epithet against
little people proves bias,
380
00:18:37,742 --> 00:18:39,909
- and that indicates intent.
- That's not fair!
381
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:41,871
Uh, I didn't know it was a bad word.
Kris, did you?
382
00:18:44,915 --> 00:18:47,208
These words go in and out
of fashion all the time.
383
00:18:47,209 --> 00:18:49,711
Oh-- Well, okay, Michael,
384
00:18:49,712 --> 00:18:52,922
you also referred to her as "that thing,"
385
00:18:52,923 --> 00:18:56,384
as in, "That thing totally blew people
for McDonald's."
386
00:18:56,385 --> 00:18:59,889
And Kristine, you called her
"a smoked-out, hungover hooker."
387
00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:02,724
That doesn't sound like me.
388
00:19:02,725 --> 00:19:04,477
- [chuckling scoff]
- [papers rustling]

[paper stack thuds]
390
00:19:08,439 --> 00:19:11,149
Who hasn't said ugly things
about a person who was cruel to them?
391
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,609
She was torturing us.
392
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:14,569
[Terrance] Honestly, it doesn't matter
what you said.
393
00:19:14,570 --> 00:19:16,237
It's that you didn't
tell us about this crap,
394
00:19:16,238 --> 00:19:18,031
and the trial starts tomorrow.
395
00:19:18,032 --> 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 --> 00:19:28,249
And so did Michael, which is why
even though she's legally an adult,
399
00:19:28,250 --> 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 --> 00:19:34,130
No kidding.
402
00:19:34,131 --> 00:19:36,883
[sighs]
Deidra and I are going to huddle up,
403
00:19:36,884 --> 00:19:38,176
get back into these case files,
404
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,136
- and see if we can get these stricken.
- [exhales sharply]
405
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:42,682
In the meantime, you two,
get your shit together.
406
00:19:43,683 --> 00:19:45,183
Read through these.
407
00:19:45,184 --> 00:19:49,479
Be prepared for what
the other side now knows.
408
00:19:49,480 --> 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
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,321
It's okay.
I'll take him.
411
00:19:58,322 --> 00:19:59,740
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 --> 00:20:10,876
when you tried to beat
the truth outta her."
415
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,754
Then she says, "Whatever.
416
00:20:14,755 --> 00:20:17,674
That midget was very evil,
and you know it."

[kids playing in distance]
418
00:20:27,059 --> 00:20:29,645
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
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,234
But getting in their heads,
421
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:38,027
understanding how they saw you,
422
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:39,905
the words they used to talk about you?
423
00:20:41,365 --> 00:20:43,200
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
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:54,794
I'm just saying,
if you decide it's too much,
426
00:20:54,795 --> 00:20:57,380
that you don't want to go to court,
we've got you.
427
00:20:57,381 --> 00:20:59,216
I promise.
428
00:21:01,677 --> 00:21:03,471
I'm not a kid anymore, Brandon.
429
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:06,766
When I tell you I can handle this...
430
00:21:08,142 --> 00:21:09,643
I need you to listen.
431
00:21:12,563 --> 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 --> 00:21:18,276
And-- and you wrote right back
like it was nothing,
434
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,236
like you were proud!
435
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:22,323
Whatever.
She was evil, and you know it.
436
00:21:23,032 --> 00:21:25,658
I was just trying to protect
my family from her.
437
00:21:25,659 --> 00:21:28,995
When you take it out of context,
it makes me sound like a monster!
438
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:31,039
I swear, Michael,
if I go to jail because of you...
439

00:21:33,918 --> 00:21:38,005
- What's so funny?
- Nothing, it's just... it's ironical.
441
00:21:41,342 --> 00:21:44,010
[Kristine] I'm not gonna let you
pull that crap with me, Michael.
442
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:45,262
What is funny?
443
00:21:48,432 --> 00:21:50,851
Terrance says that if I'm found guilty...
444
00:21:52,019 --> 00:21:55,773
they'll probably offer me immunity
to testify against you.
445
00:21:56,857 --> 00:22:01,195
Apparently, the state wants you so bad
that they're willing to let me off.

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

I know you wanna stay
with your new family.

But I don't really think
you want me to go to jail, do you?

Can you live with that?

I don't know.
456
00:22:48,659 --> 00:22:52,245
We should go somewhere
and go through these, like Terrance said.
457
00:22:52,246 --> 00:22:53,998
Maybe there's a way I can help.
458
00:22:58,794 --> 00:23:02,171

Nice to see you, Terrance.

00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:04,476
Uh, as I started to say,
672
00:35:04,477 --> 00:35:08,147
in light of the breaking news
about my client's birth mother,
673
00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:09,857
the state requests a postponement
674
00:35:09,858 --> 00:35:12,985
so we can send someone
to Ukraine to test DNA.
675
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:17,156

uh, but I hold our legal system

as I know you do, too.
677
00:35:19,367 --> 00:35:23,662
Uh, so, I'm offended on your behalf
that Miss Starbuck would waltz in here
678
00:35:23,663 --> 00:35:27,374
on the day our proceedings are to begin
and attempt to trick this court
679
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:30,753
into relitigating, uh, Miss Barnett's age.
680
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:33,964
Miss Barnett filed countless petitions
to change her age,
681
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:36,050
each of which was denied by the court,
682
00:35:36,051 --> 00:35:38,177
who upheld the fact
that she was an adult
683
00:35:38,178 --> 00:35:41,096
when the, uh, Barnetts
rented her an apartment.
684
00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:43,807
Your Honor, the state
has unequivocal evidence
685
00:35:43,808 --> 00:35:48,854
that Natalia was eight years old when
the Barnetts abandoned her, alone.
686
00:35:48,855 --> 00:35:50,773
[Terrance] You know,
I should thank you, Miss Starbuck,
687
00:35:50,774 --> 00:35:52,650
because in trying to relitigate this,
688
00:35:52,651 --> 00:35:54,318
you forced me to go back
through paperwork
689
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:57,655

and something new caught my eye.
690

691
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:03,911
Um, the state was previously granted
the opportunity to appeal the decision
692
00:36:03,912 --> 00:36:07,289
in Miss Barnett's 2017 re-aging trial,
and they opted not to.
693
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:10,042
And so, now, here we are,
five years later,
694
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:12,753
and they wanna waste the court's time
by suddenly trying to appeal?
695
00:36:12,754 --> 00:36:16,507
I mean, I'm sorry, but that ship
has circumnavigated the globe by now.

on a technicality, truly.

00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:25,599
If you wanna talk grasping at straws,
700
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,852
uh, look no further than Miss Starbuck
trying to use a tabloid
701
00:36:28,853 --> 00:36:31,438
to smuggle the question
of Miss Barnett's age into court.
702
00:36:31,439 --> 00:36:33,524
[Jackie] I'm sorry,
but the question of Natalia's age
703
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:35,651
has not been smuggled in here.
704
00:36:35,652 --> 00:36:39,363
Half the charges against Mr. Barnett
hinge on the question of her age!
705
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:41,824
[Terrance] Um, which is why the defense
would like to submit a motion

709
00:36:47,038 --> 00:36:49,248
Miss Starbuck, is it true that the state
710
00:36:49,249 --> 00:36:52,376
declined to appeal the ruling
of Natalia's age in 2017?
711
00:36:52,377 --> 00:36:54,128
- Yes, Your Honor, but--
- Hold that thought.
712
00:36:54,129 --> 00:36:55,380
[Jackie sighs]

00:36:56,715 --> 00:36:57,756

00:37:09,477 --> 00:37:12,354
[Judge Huss]
Okay, this court will not set precedent
718
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:15,315
for a criminal case
to attack civil decisions,
719
00:37:15,316 --> 00:37:17,735
especially ones that have been
upheld so many times.
720
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:20,779
The state had ample opportunity
721
00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:24,283
to appeal the results
of Natalia's age in 2017,
722
00:37:24,284 --> 00:37:25,617
and they declined.
723
00:37:25,618 --> 00:37:29,079
So, I hereby grant the defense's motion
to dismiss the four charges
724
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,832

725

The remaining four charges that concern
a legal dependent still hold.
726

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

When we reconvene,

Rule number one,
731
00:37:48,683 --> 00:37:52,644
Natalia may not be called
a child or an adult.
732
00:37:52,645 --> 00:37:55,773
If the notion of her age
must be referenced,
733
00:37:55,774 --> 00:38:00,153
she may be referred to as,
"a person born in 1989."
734
00:38:01,738 --> 00:38:04,448
The word "adoption"
and discussion of her schooling
735
00:38:04,449 --> 00:38:07,702
are also barred,
as those relate to her age.
736
00:38:10,705 --> 00:38:13,916
Rule number two, the topic of Natalia
737
00:38:13,917 --> 00:38:17,212
having been re-aged is off-limits.
738
00:38:18,213 --> 00:38:21,715
