get in this was a great place to get drunk amazing we didn't drown tell me about the night Marcy CER died right all business it was the third or fourth time that we'd you know gotten together 8:30 we'd meet spark car at the supermarket that was the routine why there if anyone saw her car it would seem normal she'd walk towards the market if it was all clear she ducked around back in I picked her up it was a rush Tony it's like nothing I'd ever [Music] felt I knew it was wrong but I had to end it I decided it was going to be that [Music] night just talked for a while I think we should get married I said we we can't do that ever why not Mar there are a lot of reasons your parents my job the way people would look at me and I'm a middle-aged guy who betrayed his no yes no my feelings for you are more than that then I'm lucky lucky to even have been a part of your life we're sweating just praying it wasn't the cops or someone following us but it's like she doesn't care I want you to be my life and when we get married people will accept it my parents Marcy I've met your parents I'm I'm too old Marcy to ever become your life I see I can't leave my wife there's no way I could do that I won't tell anyone about this is that what you want yes that that would help me all right Sam it would be best for you too Marcy ran I'll help you I will start helping you right now course you didn't chase after her I was worried about the car the one that drove up yeah she was hysterical I was ready to freak myself there's nothing I could do about it I figured she'd make her way back to the car after she cooled off it was less than half a mile away I drove out I pass the car I thought I saw a head just above the [Applause] dash then you went home I needed a drink I drove to the school I had a bottle of whiskey in my desk why not a bar I didn't want to run into anyone the way I was anybody see you there custodian no one no I had the keys just sat there thinking how long I don't know half hour maybe more and then I called [Music] home hey prach the robs leave a message my heart started pounding again I thought for sure kti had followed me that it was her in the car when I got home she was in bed reading I uh tried calling you machine picked up darn must have been in the [Music] shower snagged a [Music] nail maybe it was [Music] her Mr Reuben W well if it isn't the man himself oh it's been too long a look at you yeah very nice I mean I mean the suit that's our momy right uh Hugo Boss about better you created a monster saw yeah a monster a monster I can live with I've represented a few but a criminal defense attorney m all right what can I do you for some rabinal counsel from the man who saved my ass the truth is in the wine have a taste it's a little early well it's got to be 5:00 somewhere cheers you know in criminal defense old friends are not the best clients that's why surgeons never operate on their own kids now don't lose your identity as an attorney because you can't distinguish between Sam Rob and Tony Lord all right I know I know I want him to be innocent but I have my doubts it's just like I can't believe he did it you can't or you won't can't because he hasn't shown me anything that's conclusive and I won't because if I thought he was guilty I'd be on the next plane home in all my years as a defense attorney you were the only defendant the only defendant who was absolutely sure was innocent and my friend that was before they found this Donald White Allison's killer and his history of rapes and murders see as defense attorneys it makes no difference what we think guilty or not guilty our sacred job is to make sure that the defendant gets the best defense under the law all right so now tell me was this um pal of yours the same was he sharing the blint with this girl I'm afraid so how about the night she died he said no now have you haven't given any thought to the wife okay well Sam said she wasn't there when he called so where was she she said she was in the shower H maybe and maybe not uh no no not Kate a 46-year-old husband with a 16-year-old student I've seen similar consequences with a a lot less provocation I know her doesn't have it in her you know her you know so well after 28 [Music] years I don't remember you ever smoking before I didn't do a lot of things I do now what do you have to tell me well as Sam's lawyer I can't tell you anything neither can he later when this is about your marriage and not about the law you guys can talk it through okay so I didn't go to Harvard but I'm not a fool he was having sex with her wasn't he what is that the new Teenage thrill seducing your teacher how could this get any worse he said he didn't kill her I'll make sure the jury hears that if it comes to that and I have a meeting with the da on Friday maybe that part will just go away go away things like this don't go away the morning she went missing Sam Rob came to my desk said he'd seen her the night before did you say what time that was detective around 10 he said did he tell tell you what he was doing in the Park yeah said that they were talking she was upset we walked to the ridge over there found her body down there you notified Mt how did he look to you Sam he was upset sat down on the ground you know like he was dizzy I got good radar Mr Lord seeing her really hit him hard look this this is off the Record okay okay my two boys know Sam Rob my eldest has uh problems with learning dyslexia Mr Rob worked with them helped him all the way through graduation boys loved him thought he was the best a lot of people around here want to make him the monster I just don't see it that [Music] way hello Mr Lord good morning Stella Mars assistant DA nice to meet you you're a long way from home not that long I was born here I know I'm too young to remember the Alice and Taylor case you were the primary suspect well they got that one wrong didn't they how many are you looking at I keep an open mind Mr Lord then you're not if I feel I have sufficient cause I'll ask the grand jury to indict if not the police will continue their search autopsy report I'm waiting myself perhaps you might ask your client why there was blood on the steering wheel of his car I assume you tested it a positive Marcy cder's blood type mine too for that matter and 34% of the population we're doing DNA Tony Nan agreed to see you not me I'm just trying to understand this I'm a friend of Sam robs and I know he's devastated by what happened but if I was certain that he'd harmed your daughter I wouldn't be here harm is that what you call [Music] it if there's a better time there will never be a better time I'm sorry I didn't know her I went back to work 4 years [Music] ago I was never home after school and that's when girls are fresh when when they want to tell you about their day I'm starting to think that I didn't know her very well either we were saving for her college but I guess we won't uh did you sense any changes that concerned you anything in the last 6 weeks she seemed uh distant like she was somewhere else anything more specific no um her grades had fallen a little bit but but she still came to mass with us every Sunday and we never saw any of the rebelliousness or questioning that father Conley was always talking about with other kids but she still loved track [Music] Mr Rob had made a point of telling both of us how hard she'd been working did Marcy seem attracted to him no I have to ask I know he told the police that she had a crush on him but I never saw any sign of that did she talk about him more than she did about Mr Ramos Mr Ramos he's been the park recreational director since 2004 oh here ah Michael Ramos yeah Ramos graduated 6 years after me it's all stayed in track science and math club student coun well there you are hm well he's letting things go Mr Ramos is you can certainly see who comes and goes can you oh yes I can just like I told you Mr Rubenstein what you told Saul might be important that's why I wanted to come talk to you myself well Sam Rob has always been a very fine man my late husband and I knew him from church and the Press always sensationalizes everything but of course you know all about that milk uh no thank you tell me about Mr Ramos well what struck me was that that poor girl Marcia Calder although I didn't even know her name until I read it in the newspaper as soon as Mr Ray Miss's wife left him she started coming over to see him at first they just sat on the porch and talked but later they well you know they stayed inside did you ever consider telling your parents or the police well I'm not a busy body but if you ask me it just wasn't right a young girl like that it was terrible and on the night she died you saw her oh yes she was here she came in her car one of those Imports although they all look the same to me I don't know if Ramos doesn't have an alibi for that night and Sarah the yent CRA is a gift from God the divorce filings Ramos versus Ramos you might just have your Donald White Mr Lord please come in afternoon as I said on the phone you've come a long way for not very much I appreciate you taking the time this way thank you so you should know I don't hate Michael and I know what you're trying to do you're trying to see if my kid's father is a murderer or can be made to look enough like one to keep Sam Rob from being indicted you read my divorce petition and you think I might be worth talking to well there goes my first half hour no there goes your case so please ask away Mr Lord Michael will tell you I never lie I assume your divorce petition doesn't either why don't you just listen Mr Lord and then you can be the judge there isn't a single white person in this entire town that is as condescending to me as you are you know with you everything everything is defined by being Latino you bring your own Mario with you wherever you go now you want to bring our kids to live in it how did we ever get married I mean how did I not see it before I let you drag us here what what what is it you didn't see that I'm your consolation prize Michael I mean come on haven't you always wanted to marry the prom queen from Lake City so you could be led into the little Greeno jock fraternity you know you're crazy Vanessa oh am I really isn't Marc your little prom queen I mean is that why you spend all those hours talking to her cuz it sure as hell can't be her mind you know she just wanted another daddy so she plays into your little white girl fantasy she gets your attention by letting you imagine what it's like sleeping with [Music] her I didn't leave because I thought he'd do it again him hitting me was just an excuse I left because it's what I wanted to do but whatever Michael did to me that night it's not nearly enough for him to deserve you thank you Mrs RS Stella your friend Sam lied to us he was having sex with Marcy CER but I'm sure you knew that but maybe you didn't know she was pregnant when he murdered her your copy counselor DNA and autopsy report Sam Rob's the father we're indicting murder one with special circumstances she was pregnant Sam what Marcy was pregnant they think it was mine they know it was DNA DNA and it's over for me Kate yeah you better tell her before she sees it on TV broken rubber you telling me you didn't know you never told me Tony it's probably what that whole marriage thing was about why she was acting so crazy if I'd known i' I never would have let her run away it's over maybe in Lake City but not in the courtroom they do not have an airtight case they can't have an airtight case because I didn't kill her there is an alternative we asked for manslaughter you act out of some impulse didn't mean to kill her that's going to require confession in open court Sam Tony I'm going to lose my house my career my wife and probably my kids right all I have left is my innocence no no yeah I wouldn't have taken it either [Music] so he has to go to [Music] trial do I have to be there better for you if you weren't worse for him if you're [Music] not and my kids what about my kids well that's up to you it's going to get pretty [Music] rough what can I do to help Katie you just you make him weak a foolish selfish innocent man what the people intend to show you is the last 4 hours in the life of a 16-year-old girl imagine Marcy Calder she is frightened and alone and Dr Nora Cox who Marcy has known since she was four has just told her she's pregnant and then suggests an abortion no she answers my baby is a life and because she means to protect that life Marcy must tell the father of her unborn child no one but Marcy knows who that person is she arranges to meet the father of the baby but before she meets him Marcy makes one last stop now besides her parents Michael Ramos is the adult Marcy is closest to he he was her first track coach she babysat the Ramos's children she was in trouble and he is the one person she'd come to confide in so she tells her friend Michael Ramos that she has been having sex with an older man and she's pregnant he begs her to tell her parents or at least let him take her to a clinic but afraid for the reputation of this older man she loves and for her baby she refuses in 2 hours she will be dead Marcy Parks her car in the supermarket parking lot where another car is waiting eagerly she gets inside and turns to Sam Rob assistant principal of Lake City High School her track coach and the father of her unborn child in the darkness he drives her to Thompson Park Marcy undresses for him and then in his wife's car Sam Rob ties Marcy cder's hands behind her back chokes her to the brink of unconsciousness while having intercourse with her from behind rough sex it's called the sexual humiliation of a 16-year-old we cannot tell you what Marcy thought in the last moments of her life we only know what medical evidence will show that Sam Rob to prevent her thoughts from ever being spoken aloud led her from the car to a wooded park above Lake Erie and struck her with a rock three hard blows to the Head shattering her skull that he then threw her off the cliff 200 ft to the rocky Beach below there the life left Marcy called her and that of her unborn child Mr Lord nothing at this time your honor the defense reserves the right until the prosecution puts on its proof which with all due respect to miss Mars an opening statement is not what the hell are you doing not now what do mean not now you could have said something oh yeah like what that he choked her unconscious while he screwed her from behind but didn't kill her I got a job to do and you got yours to look sad and very calm just all along the third Baseline Mr raas Excuse me Tony Lord I'm Sam Rob's attorney I know who you are I went to Lake City High you guys were Legends this guy's a legend instead of all the football trophies you guys want in the lobby you always made waves guess you still are maybe in some ways you could say that I understand you're testifying for the prosecution they asked me to yeah spoke to your ex-wife she told me did you did I what kill her what did you kill your friend Marcy called her hey how about I answer your question by kicking your ass up and down this field huh Dr Cox when Marcy talked to you about having sex what was your response I asked her if she told told her mother she said no she said that her father would get it out of her and that he would be furious and when you asked her who the boy was what did she say she says it wasn't a boy thank you keep looking at her the jury's watching no further questions your honor let me try to summarize Marcy's State of Mind as you perceived it at the time doctor so that I understand she was supposed to have an abortion afraid to talk to her parents unprepared to have the child and isolated from par Al guidance correct essentially yes did she ever indicate to you one way or another that she had considered marriage marriage she said her pregnancy could ruin him have you ever heard of a patient commit suicide doctor if you're suggesting she was suicidal that's the question please yes I have as I'm sure you know there were two young girls to be exact an a Ferman age 15 Beverly Snowden 16 correct yes and didn't you see Beverly Snowden 2 weeks before she took her own life I did and during that visit 2 weeks before she took her life did Beverly Snowden seem suicidal absolutely not in fact she seemed quite normal as normal as Marcy called her objection your honor sustained your honor Court stands in recess that's freaking awesome you got her both hers go be with Kate Sam no matter how hard it is take her lunch in the commissary just like everybody else the jury notices things like that do it Sam got it Janice you and Marcy were very close H yes did she talk to you about her sexual relationships um she told me that sky was her first why do you say that she asked me a lot of questions she wanted to know different things you know about how to do it uh sex did she tell you why she wanted to know these things she wanted to please this guy she loved him and she didn't want him to lose interest why do you suppose Marcy wanted to see this older man the night she was murdered what did she keep saying she wanted to warn him you know about her being pregnant so that he know that he was in trouble Mar was such a good person and she want to protect him thank you Janice for the record isn't it true that Marcy never actually told you why she wanted to see this Unknown man so that the answer to your last question is just a guess isn't it it yeah it's what I thought she didn't actually tell me in words if I remember your testimony you asked her if she was in trouble yes and you both knew what in trouble means that's right it means pregnant did Marcy give you any other reason why she wanted to keep her Affair secret yeah she didn't want her father to know isn't that part of the reason why you covered for her that night yes she wanted to keep him believing in the Virgin Marcy he's like like really controlling I see you feel guilty and perhaps somewhat responsible for her death don't you yes I do Marcy was my best friend and you'd like to punish the person who you feel is directly responsible for her death yes so when the County prosecutor charged Sam rob you thought he was that person yes yet before he was charged you didn't think Sam Rob was Marcy's lover did you no in fact he thought it was someone else El didn't you yes someone else I'm sorry someone else no further questions your [Music] honor [Music] why please don't do this to [Music] me did you know Sam Rob uh yes I did he was Marcy's track coach she kissed me on the night that she left twice on the forehead here and here and then she looked at me and she said I'll be back Mom if I had known about the baby we would have raised it we would have taking care of it we were a family we were a family how old was Marcy Calder when you met her 11 I coached a girls track team at the rec center 11 through 14 what was Marcy like then shy um but she was talented and she was eager to learn she became my fastest Sprinter when Marcy turned 15 she she couldn't run for you anymore did you do anything to help her to continue running I called the high school track coach Sam Rob uh he said he'd look out for her those were his words I'll look out for her in high school did she keep in touch mhm she dropped by the office she babysat for us once in a while she dropped by the house just to talk did you notice if she had a crush on you Mr Ramos absolutely not no she's trampling a ground at her perel what Marcy wanted was a friend who was an adult not a parent that's normal well what kind of things did Marcy talk about everything um school grades track guys kids of that age are remarkably candid did there come a time when you became worried about where Marcy's life was headed yes very what were the circumstances she came to see me at my office she was shaken up she said that she was in a sexual relationship with a man and she was scared I see Mr Ramos did you ever have sexual relations with Marcy cder absolutely not even after your wife left that's not something that I would do that's not something anyone should ever do perhaps a few objections counselor mess with her Rhythm did you see Marcy called her the night she died I did yes she she was upset did she tell you why she was upset she was pregnant did she tell you who the father was only that it was the man that she was seeing the older man and that she was going to see him to warn him and you tried to stop her didn't you I did yes I didn't think that she should see him she was upset but she didn't listen to me she got in her car and she drove away thank you your witness Mr Lord again why did she come to see you I guess she wanted to talk to a friend well she had a friend Janice de bruzi can you think of a reason she spoke to you and not to her I have no idea have any other young girls told you all the intimate details of their sex lives no or been with you in your house alone no when did you and your wife separate Mr Ramos um a little under a year ago and sometime after that Marcy started to come to your house correct sometimes yes and when was that how many times I don't know I didn't keep count more than 10 perhaps more than 20 I don't remember by the way do you think Marcy's parents knew that she was coming to see you I don't know but you didn't come and tell them did you no don't you think they might have been concerned look I don't I don't know if they knew or not what did you and Marcy talk about I don't remember mostly I listened you were going through a marital breakup Marcy was constantly at your house and you're having trouble remembering what you talked about could it be possible that your recollection these visits is somewhat faulty Mr Ramos what do you mean well what immediately comes to mind is all those Saturday nights where Marcy rented videos and brought him to your house to watch him which did you prefer the most Sabrina or Love Story objection your honor that's not a question that's an insinuation sustained I've never even heard of Sabrina I don't yeah it might have been bit before her time too Mr Lord sorry your honor about 6 weeks before Marcy died she told you that she was having sex with with an older man and he was teaching her things did you feel jealous no I was concerned about a 16-year-old girl who was being taken advantage of by an older man on the night that she died you asked her not to go see him and she didn't listen did you touch her then uh I held her by the wrist just to say one last thing you show me and when she pulled away and she did what you told her not to do you followed her right you followed her to find out who she was going to see and you did didn't you you followed her all the way to the supermarket and you watched her get in Sam Rob's Car and then you followed them both to Thompson Park isn't that what happened no I drove home like I said what time was that around 8:30 did anyone see you I don't know your honor I have here what was presented as defense exhibit one as you can see it's just a plain plastic watch like to enter it into evidence so that I can ask Mr Ras some questions about it Miss Mars I don't understand what we're doing here this watch has nothing to do with this case with your Indulgence just ask a few questions I may prove you correct I State for the record that this was bought at a drug store just yesterday you may proceed Mr Lord thank you sir is this the type of watch Marcy was wearing the night that she died I can't say that I recall have a closer look it doesn't help the last thing that I was interested in that night was her watch okay objection your honor this watch proves nothing and is therefore useless as an exhibit given Mr Ramos his testimony I have no quarrel Miss Mars thanks do you consider yourself a violent man Mr Ros no I don't perhaps you can tell the court why your marriage ended my wife and I we had disagreements she didn't like getting hit did she in her deposition she stated that you struck her in the face and caused her mouth to bleed and swell isn't that correct yeah that that was and did you hit her in the face because of something she said I I don't remember we fought we said things that we shouldn't have didn't Marcy calder's name come up in that fight I don't remember specifically didn't your wife call Marcy Calder your fantasy white girl and accuse you of wanting to sleep with her a lot of ugly things are said In the Heat of the Moment it's best not to remember them I might not want to remember that one either [Music] what size Footprints were at the scene 11 what size shoe is Sam robare 11 and what size shoe does Michael Rama SAR detective 11 is this the rock you found next to Marcy cder's body yes it is what do the coroner report with respect to this rock the traces of blood on the Rock were Marcy cuers the strands of hair were hers as were minute fragments of her scalp was that the only rock found with blood on it no there were others and was there no blood found in Mr Rob's home or on his clothing in the shoes he gave you no sir there wasn't and was there any evidence that he discarded any articles of clothing at this time none that we're aware of thank you detective what time did Marcy Calder die Marcy Calder died shortly after midnight of a cerebral hemorrhage which in my my opinion was caused by three blows to the right side of her head with a heavy object did Marcy cder engage in any sexual activity in the time just before her death Dr melli yes did the examination show any seen yes and no vaginally only traces of petroleum based lubricant but her back and hair contain traces of seminal fluid now at the time of her death was Marcy called her pregnant yes she was pregnant the fetus was approximately 7 weeks in development it died with the mother and the father based on DNA examination was Sam Rob and the probability 10 million to one no further questions your honor your witness Mr Lord your honor Mr Ruben will be conducting the cross what the hell is this sa do the cross why it's my decision you want to try your own case be my guest now it is your assumption that Mari was killed in the cliffs side above and then thrown over it yes but you found no blood in the densely wooded area of the park above even after an extensive of surgeon according to the weather report it rained between the hours of 2: a.m. and 7: a.m. which was previous to the discovery of the body but you did find Blood On The Rocks below where the body was discovered even though that area is much more exposed to the rain Yes traces Tres is that Rocky Beach accessible not really not really it's accessible by boat how far would you say that drop is from the cliff 178 ft so isn't it possible that Marcy hit the right side of her head against the cliff side on the way down and then again on a rock below on impact yes but not likely but you found Blood On The Rocks below even on that soall weapon Rock of yours well I suppose sorry doctor but that was not a question now given the violence of this death it would have produced an enormous amount of blood am I right yes and yet even after all that the only blood linking Sam Rob is a small spattering on the steering wheel of his car a microscopic spattering not the result of grave violence that is a question medically that is correct thank you don't listen to him Tony bury it ah play better under pressure this in pressure [Music] no all right now there it is I always knew you were going to leave oh same reason you got the best girl in school Tony lord always got what he wanted nothing wrong with Kate nope nothing at all from downtown for that Harvard [Music] rig told you he's here who in this jury in this entire courtroom hasn't said or done something that they're ashamed of and later told lies that they regret but lying is not murder let's remember the facts in this case Sam lied not to conceal a murder from the police who he called first inv voluntarily he did it to protect his marriage his profession and his reputation in the community where he spent his entire life just as Michael Ramos tried to conceal his relationship with Marcy Calder from you whatever that might have been for whatever reasons he may have had but with both men lying is not murder and speculation is not proof the defense would like to Now call their only witness Dr Bennett Shapiro forensic scientist I have here his rather extensive resume he a graduate of Princeton University please stipulate to The Experts qualifications let's begin with the Trace Amounts of Marcy's blood found on the steering wheel would you say that particular blood was in any way connected with a homicide well that one is easy the blood uh was mixed with pdms a lubricant used in most condoms sold in this country the blood is a direct result of the kind of sexual activity the subjects were involved in the condom was removed leaving a residue of blood and lubricant on the subject's hand uh was transferred to the steering wheel presumably when he drove away or before thank you doctor can you identify this defense exhibit a yes it's a blow up of three partial but easily identifiable prints taken from Marcy calder's watch print on the left is Marcy calder's the next is Mr robs the third print the police could not identify and exhibit B two prints taken from a plastic watch what are those prints well one of them is yours Mr Lord when did you first see the watch a week ago when you gave it to me I wiped it clean of prints I placed it in a plastic bag gave it back to you the morning before the proceedings and where has it been since then defense table how do you know that I was sitting at the back of the courtroom and what did I do with it in the course of cross-examination you gave it to the witness Mr Ramos Mr Ramos handled it put it back in the bag at the end of the day you gave the bag back to me and what were my instructions to lift any prints from the watch and make sure no one else touched it and are your results shown here on the blowup exhibit B yes the print on the left is yours print on the right is Mr Ramos's right thumb were you able to draw any conclusions resulting from Mr ramos' fingerprint yes it matches the unidentified print found on the watch Marcy cder was wearing the night she died to an absolute certainty the unidentified print belongs to Mr Ramos thank you [Music] doctor [Music] I want to rest our case tomorrow think we have Reasonable Doubt my case Tony my case I think I did it been watching their faces they hate me and they think I'm guilty I can't make make him like you Sam and just get him to acquit you which I think I've done had rough sex with an underage girl and lied about it lied to my wife just about everyone I need to testify no way how could I make it any worse you trip up on one little detail to convict you so I gave up this half life you want me to lead I didn't put you there you you did you're not testifying so it's still that huh how do you live with that wondering if I killed her not easily not well if you think that then they all do you never had your day in court Tony there's some people in this town that still think you killed Allison but there's a difference I got charged with murder and that gives me the right to get up in front of those people and say I didn't do it say it with my mouth and my voice what really happened that night in the park with Marcy in your car she told me she loved me that she wanted to do something special for me that she'd read about rough sex she wanted you to choke her to the point of unconsciousness while having intercourse with her from behind correct yes when it was over I felt weird she asked me how it was I lied I said it was exciting and I thanked her and then what happened car pulled into the park I saw the headlights part to little ways away I said that we should go because of the car but she wanted to talk she asked me if I'd marry her were you surprised I was shocked did you ever try to break it off with her yes because of Kate once you start lying to someone you love did Marcy ever tell you she was pregnant I never gave her the chance I suddenly realized how far I'd let things go she really believed we could get married I just broke down I asked her to protect me teenage girl to protect me from what I'd done how did she take that she started to cry she looked at me with hate in her eyes I'll never forget that look she said help you I'll help you and then she grabbed the door I said wait wait for what she screamed at me so you can give me more precious moments i' die first and then she ran out of the car if only she had told me I swear I would have found a way to help her even if I had to tell Kate but now it's it's like I killed her when I didn't God knows I didn't kill Marcy defense rest your honor isn't it your pattern Mr Rob to lie anytime the truth might get you in trouble no it isn't otherwise I'd never have gone to the police but you lied to the police didn't you telling the police I was with Marcy didn't help me Miss Mars as far as I can see that's why I'm sitting here answering your questions easy Sam you admitted the affair only after the DNA test proved Marcy was pregnant with your child didn't you you yes I guess I was afraid so you want us to believe you're just an innocent man trapped in an unfortunate situation would you tell the jury how you seduced Marcy cder I didn't seduce her she seduced you I told you she came to my office and said she wanted to be with me in that way I'm not saying I'm not responsible all I'm saying is I wasn't the initiator that first time Marcy gave you oral sex in your office did you reach climax yes the r sex you had in the car the night Marcy died was that her idea too yes do you know why this inexperienced 11th grader found you so irresistible no I don't miss Mars could you elaborate on Mr Lord's description of the rough sex how did you choke Marcy she gave me her scarf well was she wearing it or was it GI wrapped your honor Miss Mars so you choked her with her own scarf as you entered her from behind did you make her beg your honor the relevant sustained move on Miss Mars did you achieve CL your honor if it pleased the court it's actually after 12 now perhaps this is a good time for us to have our lunch recess if Mr Rob is tired I'm more than willing to give him some time off I'm fine I'm sure you are Mr Rob but I am famished Court stands in recess I think I'm in love you don't suppose that Stell would go out with an old Jewish defense lawyer do you no I mean it this she's humiliating me that's the price of admission and every time you show a flash of temper someone on the jury is imagining you crushing Marcy's skull with a bloody Rock they're looking for a reason a reason to believe you a reason to think that you're a liar I know I know I just can't stand that [ __ ] whenever you feel the anger just think of Marcy and how sorry you are I didn't kill her I didn't kill Allison and there hasn't been a day that I haven't felt sorry that she died [Music] do you remember where we left off Mr Rob I'm uh I'm not sure I'd asked if you'd achieve climax did you Mr Rob yes Marcy getting pregnant would have been a disaster for you wouldn't it it would have it has been on top of everything you testified that you wish Marcy had told you she was pregnant what would you have done suggested an abortion maybe and if she refused help her have the baby I guess that isn't what you did is it Mr Rob you needed your baby to die so Marcy cder had to die too and the reason you went to the police was because after you killed Marcy and started driving away you did see a car and it scared you into making up a story isn't it no no I'm not like that despite everything I've done I am not like that [Music] I think I've seen enough of Mr [Music] Rob you know what the problem with you is Mr Anthony Lord criminal defense attorney no but I'm sure you're about to tell me you don't believe that your client's innocent and you don't believe that I'm guilty you don't believe in anything you're just a Hired Gun and you remember from Alison Taylor what worked for you no you got me figured out you can go on home all right and what home would that [Music] be [Music] a the jury's hung deadlocked 8 to4 judge wants to dismiss Stella's Arn if we agree uh judge will send the jury home no verdict a tie better than a guilty verdict it's over Tony okay no it's uh it's great Tony it's uh it's great well I said you were the best right you are oh you a drink app pal I know it's not much but it's a place to start thanks Tony oh Kate hey wish I could have done more if he hadn't taken the stand he would have been acquitted with virtually no chance of a retrial he's lying he lied to the court he lied to you what are you talking about there was a sweatshirt missing he wore it all the time and in a pair of shoes and when they testified about the blood I knew I knew what and I knew it was gone and I in the house and they're missing Tony he would have lie to you knowing that you'd know he didn't care he didn't care about lying to me why else would he have said that he didn't like rough sex Tony he said he never had rough sex before I know believe me I know what Sam likes oh I am the only one that knows what Sam likes I can't talk about this with you I'm still Sam sler I think there's [Music] more what K what when you found Ellison no no what time was it what are you saying you always told me you were with Sam that night nobody ever asked me how long and I didn't want to see it then you were the hero you won the game tonight Sam I'm so happy for you you should be feeling so good it's because you're not with Tony people do what he wants and things turn out the way he expects a great catch Sam now it's time for me to go screw Allison well why shouldn't they be [Music] alone yeah I know you're right I'm sorry somebody cracked my head in the game my ears are still raining I'll go home and I'll sleep it off I'll be better tomorrow okay I [Music] promise [Music] [Music] okay it was almost midnight he said he was driving [Music] home but he was going the wrong way back toward the [Music] park and I'd never be able to testify against him now and you're his wife why didn't you tell me this before I became his lawyer how did I know I didn't know anything I had to sit in the court and listen I had to listen here everything and put it all together and and see oh is there anything we can [Music] do oh God Tony I'm Tony I'm so far past sorry [Music] Kate I didn't think I'd see you again neither did I they had to dig it out of the basement I looked at the pictures they aren't Pleasant and I didn't know her they never showed me the report but I found her I remember what she looked like not the ones they took at the morg Tony not 17 anymore thanks [Music] [Music] St [Music] I don't want to leave I want to spend the night with you your parents okay I'll go home wait until they're asleep and come back [Music] Caucasian female 120 lb 5' 6 in tall the examination reveals presence of seminal fluid in Sean's vagina slight abrasion suggests no prior experience examination further revealed that deedan had been asphyxiated appears choked from behind there's additional sem fluid under sedan's hair in bag Allison [Music] Allison [Music] [Music] they took seen samples from Allison's body and in unsolved murder they should have kept them is that the procedure here yes it is but they might be hard to find you going to let me in not [Applause] [Music] yet I thought you were on your way home this is a hell of a game thought I'd stick around a while so I could read the autopsy report yeah on Alison Allison did you read it I got it right here that's what I wanted to tell you I think I can prove I didn't kill Allison how can you do that Allison was raped she was strangled while they took her from behind oh that's in there yeah and [Music] more they have Seaman slides Sam and murder has no statute of limitations you think Stella might like to help me with that you run out alive wasn't me you got that wrong Sam it wasn't me when Stella reads that report I bet she's going to charge it for both murders in one trial it's going to be hard depend in on Ramos then you're my lawyer what you want to play by the rules I'll tell you about the rules I found Allison that makes me a witness that means I testify and if I don't they have the slides and you know Stella is a very clever person don't you I can't let you do this I can't Tony I don't know what broken part of you made you do this but it has to end so what do I do now Tony maybe you already know you haven't talked to anyone about this yet have you even [Music] Kate you came to me first [Music] just like a best friend like a best [Music] friend it has to be one of us and I can't let you win this time Tony you know how it is [Music] bye pal Sam you lose oh no no Sam oh my god oh no no while blame has been properly assessed there never really is closure in a case like this and in particular I would like to point out that an innocent man was unfairly implicated Mr Michael Ramos was the system's victim everyone in Lake City should know that can't answer questions like I wish I could have done that that's not the job of the defense attorney I guess you had Sam backed into a corner with those slides huh he felt there was no other way out anyway not really I didn't tell him those slides have been lost 25 years ago oh oh well I'm I'm sure Lady Justice will forgive you for that one I suppose we consider ourselves lucky that Donald White died before he even came to trial for the murder of Allison just imagine he'd still be in prison today what are you going to do s me maybe try another case you inspired me how about I buy a drink I don't really feel like celebrating I think I'll walk you did your job Tony that's what you came here to do thanks so [Music] [Music] thanks [Music]
