kay looking nice today good morning ms sullivan what do we have the people versus ellen plainview assault with intent to commit murder the victim in this case a miss faye walker has been unconscious since the assault and is therefore unable to id her attacker at this time however the people will provide evidence in the form of security camera footage which clearly shows the defendant in the parking garage at the time of the assault additionally the people will show that the victim was beaten with a tire iron consistent with the kind provided a standard equipment with the defendants make of car brown hair which lab tests confirm as coming from the defendant was found on the victim's clothing and the people will provide an eyewitness who will testify at having seen ellen plane view depositing a tire iron in a dumpster not far from the assault uh just moments after the crime i'll check i'm sure it's just a bunch of rubbish your honor the defense moves to have this case dismissed based on a complete lack of motive the people will provide ample and compelling motive your honor i'm setting a trial date for two months hence monday june 7th is that enough time for you ms sullivan we'll have our case prepared your honor i'll be ready to your honor we're going to trial um mr flynn shouldn't you counselor aren't you forgetting something your honor your client has the right to ask for bail adjustment but i was just getting to uh your honor we request the defendant be released on her own recognizance uh she is a wife a mother with a job who has never been charged with a crime ms sullivan due to the severity of the potential penalties of this case we feel that she's a flight risk the people ask that the bell remains set at five hundred thousand dollars come on kay the defendant is to be released on her own recognizance you're free let's get out of here uh thank you your honor well thanks ed really appreciate it well how you want to return the favor a friend of mine

want to get this over with i say let's go for it honey what are you doing i can't do this anymore ellen i'm sorry i don't know my place here anymore i think it's better if i just stay away for a while what why i still feel like they're things you're not telling me about that woman who was attacked the guys at this station they're asking me questions i don't have the answers for mike what are you talking about you lied to me about where you were that night what else are you lying to me about nothing i don't want to end up presenting you so i think it's better if i just stay away for a while okay julie's at jasmine's i can't believe you're not standing by my side you don't think i'm guilty do you honestly i don't know what to think anymore mike what's happened to you you're not the man i'm married [Music] ah [Music] all rise the honorable judge noah wallace presiding bailiff you can bring the jury in please [Music] here we go miss sullivan ladies and gentlemen the people will prove that this woman despite her attempts to appear to you as a sweet and innocent housewife is an all-actuality predator a predator who leads a secret dark life as a stripper in training who has meetings with prostitutes one of which turned violent we will conclusively place ellen plainview at the scene of the crime during the time the assault occurred will provide physical evidence linking her to the victim and we will provide eyewitness testimony that she disposed of the weapon just moments after the crime ladies and gentlemen help us seek justice and assure that this woman is never allowed to hurt anyone ever again counselor ladies and gentlemen i am not here today to prove that my client is innocent i don't have to do that the law says that you're supposed to presume her innocence now the prosecution has a crime that it cannot solve so they decided to pin it on my client now they offer no motive no reason in the world why she would savagely beat a woman whom she's never met ladies and gentlemen there is simply no case all right miss sullivan you may call your first witness there's faye walker the victim right there in the black dress there were no cars in the parking structure when we entered we found the body here laying next to a pillar in a large pool of blood now miss plainview told us under questioning that she typically parked along the northwest wall which is right here which you can see is adjacent to where the victim was beating you described this as a vicious beating no very much so very vicious in my professional opinion it was a clear intent to cause death and detective in your opinion could such a beating be administered by a woman of say five foot four 110 pounds oh easily let me tell you something you get beat with the tire iron doesn't make any difference how big or strong you are there's no question that miss plainview was was on the scene at the approximate time of the crime i mean the video speaks for itself listen we looked at all the evidence and i mean all of it it all points to one person which person is that i'm sorry which person is that well right there ellen blandon detective sanford may i ask how old you are objection sustained you're approaching retirement age correct so i imagine that uh you're anxious to go out on a good note so isn't it possible that in your excitement to wrap up this case quickly that uh it might have affected your judgment no not at all you see we brought this case to the district attorney's office based solely on the evidence in your client's behavior under questioning the truth of the matter is mr flynn your client lied to us about how long she'd been in that parking structure that's not true you may not speak without permission from the bench your honor i didn't lie about anything i'm warning you mrs plainview sit down detective hamer during your initial uh questioning of the defendant did you ask of her whereabouts during the crime of course it was the first thing we asked her and what was her response well she had a couple different answers the first time we asked she said she was at a book club the second time we asked she said she was at this stripper class you know one of those classes where they teach you to dance on a pole i guess she was considering a new career that's insane this is plain view if you interrupt these proceedings once more i'll hold you in contempt mrs brackets on the night of the crime you were driving westbound on oak street at approximately 9 45 p.m correct correct you told police officers that you saw a woman in an alley at the corner of oak and seven it was her ellen plainview you're sure this is the woman you saw yes she works at my dentist's office mrs brackets would you please tell the court what you saw the defendant doing in the alley at 9 45 that night she was wiping off a metal object which i observed to be approximately the shape and size of a tire iron and did you observe her doing anything else with this object she discarded it in a dumpster no further questions mrs brackets you take your son to dr stuart pierce correct correct yeah and you actually knew the defendant before this case through your visits to the office correct i thought i did well you were acquainted with her yes so on april 7th your five-year-old son was climbing the aquarium in the waiting room of this dentist's office now the defendant moved your son away from the aquarium to save him from a possible serious accident she yanked his arm well if that's the case i guess that couldn't make you upset when you heard this news in which case that could make you angry with uh this plane view but isn't it also true that well you've made up this whole story about my client and a tire iron after hearing this case on the news hoping to punish her for injuring your child no no way the fact is you have no business being on this witness stand do you mrs bracket my client disciplined your child so you decided to use this courtroom to exact your vengeance objection sustained you want to be ashamed of yourself how dare you judge me i know a criminal when i see one you could tell she's guilty just by looking at her i am through with this witness [Music] that was beautiful oh man marla brackett she totally self-destructed in there i would bet sullivan is drafting a motion to dismiss as we speak you think so i killed it yeah oh no this is all over we're gonna go to the da's office first thing in the morning and demand a dismissal hey buddy something i can help you with no i told you that i would take care of everything wow look at this i can still get to the gym find a date for tonight you're good grabbing a cab ah you're a trooper [Music] so [Music] well good morning kay oh now that is a lovely dress surprise to hear from you this morning ed i was just about to call you myself oh are you ready to drop the charges against my client why would i do that uh you don't have a case i mean you saw me destroy your star witness yesterday i thought you were coming here to change your plea to guilty [Laughter] why the hell would we do that you have no motive you have no case we just learned that faye walker was involved in a sexual relationship with mike plainview your client's husband was having an affair with the victim what we have our motive counselor okay did you know about this of course not okay you know let's hold on here okay faye walker is in a coma so how would you have any idea we found a cell phone number among her personal effects we questioned mr plainview last night he admitted the whole affair signed an affidavit when plainview was in uniform he arrested walker for solicitation after serving three months she reconnected with him they became involved okay well then you have your perp k mike plainview is with his daughter julie the night of the crime tv footage places him at the metro sports arena that night look we'll reduce the charge to aggravated assault lead off and you'll do two years at the most otherwise you're looking at eight to ten easy [Music] no no no no no you need to calm down ellen ellen [Music] what the hell you made me look like a fool in there you're telling me you knew nothing about this affair no okay well it changes everything i don't even know if i can continue with your defense damn it i didn't want to take this case in the first place you know mike he's a friend of mine so that makes this whole thing a conflict mr flynn and i will be honest i'm looking at all the evidence now and it looks to me like maybe you did have something to do with this after all leave everything to me you said you've done nothing but make things worse from the beginning oh really well if that's how you feel i will send you a bill and you can find other representation a bill for what i could have handled this better myself i'm going to tell myself and you should be just far okay you are not going to tell her anything get your hand off me it's time to calm down now let her go hey it's between her and me pal okay screw off i said let her go you son of a i will sue you and you i hope you get everything you deserve you're right you should be disbarred you've been following me actually i've been following your case i'm ben savin from the public defender's office you okay yeah that looks like you could use a friend it also looks like you could use some lunch what do you say okay nice thing about working at the courthouse is best hot dogs in town extra mustard right i just joined the department i've been observing trials until i get my own assignment think about your cases none of it seems to add up i mean the evidence is circumstantial the police haven't even looked for any other suspects and i know this is really unprofessional but i just have a feeling about you nothing suggests you're capable of a crime like this what is it the first person that said that to me i don't know what i'm gonna do now i don't even have a lawyer hold up postpone until you get one i have no money well they'll assign you a public defender like you me no i'm not a lawyer um i joined the department as an investigator more of a research clerk actually yeah my dad insisted that i go to law school to have something to fall back on but after three good tries i finally gave up on passing the bar i only wanted to be a writer anyway the least i can do is make some phone calls make sure you get a good lawyer no no i don't want to leave my life up to another stranger i can't i'm going to ask to handle my own defense oh no i don't think that's a good idea no i mean i i've been taking notes the whole time i know what flynn did wrong all along i wish i could stand up in court and ask my own questions i'm gonna represent myself oh the judge will have to approve see if you're capable i studied law in school i'll tell them that i feel like this is a good idea whatever happens to me from this point forward i want to be responsible for it i get it i do fine then just do me one favor what let me help you mrs plainview i've reviewed your petition to act as your own counsel for the remainder of this trial well i must say you've written a very impressive presentation i have to give you my standard response which is that i strongly advise you against this i appreciate that your honor but i feel confident that i can handle it i certainly feel i can do better than my previous counsel very well petition granted you've asked for 10 days to prepare and the court grants you the full 10 days thank you your honor so the camera was here right yeah [Music] somewhere around here [Music] hi sweetie i miss you i'm sorry i've been so busy everything's taking longer than i thought how you doing listen um it would mean a lot to me if you could come to the trial we're back in court on wednesday [Music] honey i know you're upset and i know this is really hard for you i just want you to know that you are the most precious thing to me in the entire world and you always will be okay i love you [Music] [Music] hey i can get the door open i changed the locks why didn't you tell me you were seeing faye walker i didn't want you to get hurt i was ashamed i'm afraid you know i i didn't know what would happen if it came out i mean i've already been suspended by the department you need to tell me if you know anything about what happened to her no ellen i don't know anything all right i swear i am so sorry about everything okay you ripped our daughter's life apart i don't think i can ever forgive you for that goodbye it's not every kid that has to deal with something like this hello hi then this is alice hello alice hi you said your daughter plays tennis right uh-huh my parents got me this i think it's the most expensive racket they make but i suck on the courts i never use the thing i thought maybe julie would want it thank you that's very sweet all right we are back in the matter of the people versus ellen plainview assault with attempt to commit murder court is granted a motion by the defendant to represent herself now this is plainview you've carefully considered the recommendations and caveats of this court in response to your motion yes your honor very well would you please identify the gentleman sitting next to you ben saverin with a public defender's office he's serving as an investigator for the defense and ms sullivan is this acceptable to you why not shall we proceed sullivan call you first witness the people would like to call miss francis dowd who uh uh your honor this is the first we've heard of this witness the people notified the defense's counsel edward flynn of ms dad's testimony two weeks ago your honor she wasn't included in mr flynn's notes your honor i'm not surprised who is frances dowd someone from my past so years ago she told the police that i attacked her with a metal rod is it true sort of i was so scared i grabbed my music stand to try to protect myself but i didn't hit anyone with it i swear then a policeman showed up asked what was going on it was their word against mine he took down the report and just asked us to stay away from each other that's it that's all that happened but she came all the way down here to testify against you why i don't know probably the first time she's ever been on an airplane she lived in the worst part of town a terrible little house i think you should ask for a continuance give me time to find something to impeach this woman's testimony with i'm just gonna talk to her do you know what may have provoked such a savage attack i have no idea it was like something just come over her i seriously thought she was gonna kill me it must have been very terrifying it was your witness first of all ms dowd thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to be with us here today gotta respect the law that's true but the law is a construct something created in the minds of men justice on the other hand something we feel in our hearts don't you agree and we're here for justice you might say it's the sole purpose of these proceedings do you have children ms dowd three you're very blessed i have one myself julie is 12. she'll have to live with whatever happens in this courtroom many years ago a couple of teenage girls got into an argument in a parking lot words were exchanged emotions got a little heated silly threats were made and then suddenly a policeman showed up nobody wanted to get in trouble now according to his report you stated that i attacked you with a music stand that's right but the report makes no mention of injuries did you sustain injuries sustain the officer's report states that he simply asked you and i to apologize to each other and to go our separate ways he doesn't seem to consider this a very serious incident when you said you were attacked is it possible that you meant you just felt attacked and you weren't actually struck with a music stand or anything else i know the prosecutor flew you out here and put you in a nice hotel so you could testify but all you're obligated to do here today ms dowd is tell the truth tell the truth and let justice be served were you actually struck with a music stand that day or not [Music] it was a long time ago okay i don't remember exactly what happened thank you [Music] good morning detective sanford howdy in the interest of expediency i'm going to ask you a series of questions and if you could contain your answers to a simple yes or no i think we'd all be appreciative well we'll see what we can do the people submitted security camera footage from the garage where the crime occurred now the video showed my car exiting at 9 40 p.m however there is no camera at the garage's entrance so it's possible that another car could have entered the garage and then exited through the entrance without being captured on video isn't that correct is it possible i suppose yes or no it's possible so we can't know for sure who else was in that garage besides the victim correct well we can't but we got a pretty good idea and since i walked to my car after my exercise class there's no way of knowing exactly when i entered the garage detective sanford i told you during my initial questioning that i took a walk to cool off before returning to my car based on the evidence it's entirely possible that i was only in that garage for a few moments isn't that right it's possible good according to the prosecution strands of hair found on the victim's person were found to match my own hair correct that's right all the dna tests were positive but we know that my husband police officer michael plainview admitted to having a sexual relationship with faye walker is it possible in your opinion that mr plainview might have inadvertently transferred hair from my person or my clothing to this woman with whom he was having an intimate physical relationship yes or no [Music] your honor detective answer the question [Music] yes people's exhibit 22 is a tire iron of the type provided as standard equipment in the year and model of car that i owned and was driving on the night of the crime and this distinctive ridge matches wounds found on the victim correct you bet it does but were you aware detective sanford that this car company in the last four years sold over 260 000 cars with this identical tire iron [Music] detective hammer faye walker is or was an escort correct a prostitute did you or anyone in your department attempt to contact any of ms walker's recent clients we had no cause no cause the woman was nearly beaten to death it didn't occur to you that one of her clients might have done it all of the evidence suggested one suspect and i'm satisfied we arrested the right person well as long as you're satisfied detective [Music] mrs brackets you testified that you were driving down oak street at approximately 9 45 on the night of april 7th and that you observed me wiping off something and tossing it into a dumpster that's right what speed would you say you were driving i always drive the speed limit i'm going to show you defense exhibit 16. video taken from a car passing that same alleyway traveling at less than half the speed limit watch carefully mrs brackets [Music] can you tell us what you saw in the video someone by the dumpster can you identify the person no say whether it was a man or a woman can you at least tell us what the person was holding no no idea maybe if i saw it again but your testimony is that on the night of april 7th you were able to positively identify me standing in that same alley at the same time of night and you were able to determine exactly what i was doing in the span of approximately two seconds while traveling at more than twice the speed of a car in that video why don't i play the video again pause it and zoom in so we can get a better look [Music] no further questions you might want to take a look at this oh that's great your honor the people have obtained an additional piece of evidence that we'd wish to enter we'd better handle this in sidebar council your honor a secondary search of the defendant's car turned up a previously undiscovered piece of evidence investigators found a photograph hidden under the liner of the trunk it was apparently taken with a cell phone and then printed out may i have a moment with my investigator your honor certainly thank you i've never seen that photograph before ben it's obvious somebody's framing me but who your husband mike may be despicable but something like this is beyond even him i'm sure of it you need to ask for a continuance no one way or another this thing has to end now detective hamer you testified that your investigation into this crime was thorough and complete yes so why did you search the car again we received a tip well not exactly a tip we got a call from an anonymous citizen who watches a lot of those crime shows on tv they suggested that we look under the carpeting and under the trunk lining of the car so we did an anonymous tip it happens all the time citizens like to help did you find anything to connect this photograph to me fingerprints for example or a match to my cell phone or home computer it was in your car how do we know the photograph wasn't placed in the car subsequent to the crime well that's impossible impossible the car has been in police impound ever since the defense rests thank you mrs plainview we'll give you time to prepare your closing arguments and reconvene after lunch court is adjourned what is it maybe i did do it it's the only logical explanation who else could it have been it had to be me maybe i i found out about the affair and i i followed mike and i took that picture and i attacked faye walker and then i blocked it all out of my head maybe i went temporarily insane maybe i am insane ellen stop it what you've been through would have made anyone crazy you you're the most level-headed person i know and whatever happens i know you're gonna have the strength to get through it i promise mom charlie what are you doing here jasmine's mom dropped me off i want to come home i'm so sorry what for for not being here for you i was too scared honey it's okay it's okay i found out jasmine stole my fishnets i guess she's not that great of a friend after all but i let her keep them anyway because she looks so stupid in them thanks for the tennis racket mr severn sure hi guys it's time to get back inside i'm coming with you honey i don't know what's gonna happen in there it might be better i'm coming with you let's do this this is plainview summation my daughter once told me you can't make bad things go away by pretending they don't exist something bad happened here and we all want it to go away when we can't make sense of a senseless thing like this we place blame and move on hoping to convince ourselves it wasn't a random act of violence which is somehow the scariest thing because that means it could have been any of us we crave some explanation but in our hurry we can rob ourselves of understanding when we are too quick to end our search for the truth we are weakened we are hurt i don't know who attacked faye walker and i don't know why i don't know that i've been able to convince you that i wasn't involved ladies and gentlemen i will accept whatever happens to me here today because i have to but what would be much much more difficult to accept is that the person actually responsible might escape justice in our rush to be done with this terrible event that's something i believe any reasonable person would find hard to live with anyway [Music] thank you [Music] as the jury reached a verdict [Music] so in the matter of the people versus ellen plainview case number c1711291 we the jury in the above entitled action find ellen marie plainview not guilty of the crime of assault with intent to murder faye joe walker case dismissed [Music] thanks for everything ben will i see you again sure i'd like that [Music] [Music] mom i know what daddy did and i know why he's not here anymore but it's okay i understand honey i'm so sorry you don't have to apologize for anything but promise me one thing anything can we spend more time together of course there's something i need to do first okay hey it's mike i looked into that traffic ticket can't believe it was paula who wrote you up six months sharing a patrol car together you think she showed me a little courtesy huh anyway yeah i never mentioned her to you because i didn't think you'd like that i had a female partner [Music] but uh i paid that traffic ticket for you so well uh good luck wow my husband usually takes care of that um he must have forgotten he works for the department mike plainview do you know no i don't believe i do just one minute okay you were supposed to be in prison you know i really wasn't expecting to find you here but this actually works out like it's meant to be you know it's perfect you see the perp you returns to the hospital to make sure the victim doesn't wake up and identify her you were even kind enough to leave me fingerprints thank you go you better be cool where are we going get in come on come here now you know we were partners i fell for mike really hard i didn't plan it but it happened and he felt the same i know he did but he told me he couldn't cheat on his wife and i found out he was seeing that faye walker so i followed him and took pictures you know i figured i could force him to stop seeing her but that left a wife to take care of so i had a better idea you keep moving [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] all right i can do this really that's great mom try to stay off your back foot when you swing and make sure the head of the racket is lower than the handle okay i got it i got it thanks for calling hey i got good news the hospital just called faye walker is in physical therapy they said it'll take a while but she'll make a full recovery that's great mom has good news too yeah
