A Father's Confession - Law & Order

I don't know what the hell gun you're talking about I'm talking about the piece you flashed around the one that got you into all the trouble I he didn't bring any gun to school would you do threaten the prescott kid with your finger look the school wanted me out of there so they made up that crap about the gun alright I know where you're coming from Colin a lot more than you think bunch of country club kids dissed you right made you feel like you were trespassing on their turf so you gonna visit Prescott get a little respect but then things get out of hand right I was home all night your mother said you went skating that was before around 7:00 I got home in time for the Knicks game anybody see you at the rink I don't know I didn't look alright that's enough he's just a kid he needs to go home now kid with an attitude and a half grow up on the Upper East Side you got a Tiffany spoon in your mouth groping in would you get that kid with the short fuse and a gun bad luck for mr. Prescott maybe bad luck for us no gun no eyewitness and his parents say he was home right and they've got to be telling the truth yeah thanks forensics found gunpowder residue on the kids right glove Colin Harrigan you're under arrest for the murder of William Prescott you have the right to remain silent anything you do say can and will be used against you I doubt mr. McCoy stormtroopers even bothered to read the search warrant specified a gun not a pair of gloves mr. Dwyer should keep up with his own reading the courts allow the seizure of any relevant evidence in what universe People vs Baker Your Honor the police were looking for a knife they took a blood-stained sweater instead the court suppressed it and 16 years later under People v Watson that same sweater would have been allowed Watson covers obviously incriminating evidence found in plain view the gloves were neither in his opinion your honor your honor what makes this search especially odious is the fact the warrant was predicated on false information weren't the officers told your client threatened a schoolmate with a gun there was a lie the officers had a subpoena Dukas take him to search the school files if they'd gotten off their Duff's and actually looked at the files they would have found a copy of this letter it was sent three weeks ago by the headmaster to Colin's father it states that it was an unnamed student and not my client who had the gun well we're splitting hairs here your honor according to this the student said he got the gun from Colin Harrigan what matters is what the headmaster told the police they had no reason to doubt his word they acted in good faith mr. McCoy my cat coughs up sweeter spelling groups in the search warrant motion to suppress granted they have no other evidence your honor you're two for two mr. Dwyer motion to dismiss granted I had no idea bond had been threatened my husband never said a word about it dad didn't want you to worry why didn't you tell the police I was afraid afraid of who isn't that obvious he's afraid of Colin Harrigan we know that Colin didn't threaten you with the gun it was another boy we want to know his name dr. Penton told me not to discuss it with anybody especially outsiders Vaughn tell mr. McCoy who it was it was Berkeley Stewart Berkeley Nathan Barclays boy oh my god he roughed me up a couple of times I told her third form master and after that Stewart threatened you with a gun yeah I was afraid to go back to school he and Harrigan have this gang five or six boys from the hockey team we call them wannabes they want to be like Colin because he walks the walk they think he's so cool especially Stuart store will do anything to impress arigon it was Harrigan's gun the fact that it passed through my son's hands is irrelevant he was the last person seen in possession of a murder weapon Mr Barclay that strikes me as relevant when you were finished waving a tin Vuong Prescott's face what did you do with it Colin ditched it where I don't know he didn't tell me after he was expelled did you have any conversation with him about Vaughn Prescott or his father no I'm not allowed to talk to him at all Stewart once you leave here if I find out you've lied to me don't you threaten my son no one and that includes your father and your school will be able to protect you do you understand that come on Stuart mr. McCoy is finished with you they're all full of it I didn't call anybody you know what we can pull your phone records we can prove you made those calls Stuart even if he did make a few crank calls calls he made threats mr. Barkley according to you but I guarantee it was Harrigan who put him up to it he and his father they're all alike with her Irish temper they lose control in the next American did it because he's a Mick detective Logan is a Mick I am a mixer and if you don't shut up I'll lose control and throw you out of the room take that cap off your tough-guy act is not going to save you our witness puts you in the park with Colin and the gun a half an hour before mr. Prescott was shot we didn't have a gun I swear where'd you go after you left woman rink we went home where exactly did you walk - I walked Colin - Columbus Circle then he took a subway the sky key is lying I didn't have any gun what about those black kids you just said boo and they took off I just lifted my Jersey and showed him the corner of my hip head you know what my hockey pants it looks like a gun but that's what they saw and that's what the other guy saw tell me exactly how you went home from the rink we walked over to Columbus Circle and then I hopped the a train to Dyckman that's it you went straight home well you had your chance I just finished talking to Stuart Barkley he has a different story he doesn't skip the part about going to the Prescott house what specifically did he tell you everything I need to know she still wouldn't tell you squat we didn't do anything his statements being typed up as we speak after he signs it you can read it on your way to Rikers wait a minute we want to talk to our lawyer in private yeah a confession from Berkeley did I say that you certainly implied it there's no law against lying to a suspect and you probably miss the good old days before Miranda if anybody wants to hear some of this I could accidentally hit the intercom button that's what my old man would have done in the good old days before Miranda mr. Harrigan wants to make a statement he's aware of his rights I'm advised him against it but this is what he wants I did it I shot Prescott mr. Harrigan I know what you're I don't care what Stuart Barkley said I shot Prescott he ruined everything I worked for that's all fine except for the gunpowder on your son's gloves doesn't my gloves Colin wears them sometimes Prescott secretary told me what time he gets home I wanted to talk to him about Colin he didn't give a crap he said Colin had his one chance he said that's the only chance people like us deserve I shot him you don't believe me I'll take you to the gun [Music] [Music] I put it in there in a bag [Music] [Applause] 32 Charter Arms undercover that's it read him his rights Thomas Harrigan murderer Liam Prescott you have the right to remain silent did you say Kenneth will be [Music] [Music]
