1
00:00:00,812 --> 00:00:02,625
Previously on Proven Innocent...

2
00:00:02,662 --> 00:00:05,093
- We've never officially met.
- Rick Zahn. It's a pleasure.

3
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:08,431
- I'm gonna need a lot of money.
- I will do everything I can

4
00:00:08,468 --> 00:00:10,325
to get you seated in the AG's office.

5
00:00:10,345 --> 00:00:11,612
My wife, she thinks I'm talking

6
00:00:11,649 --> 00:00:12,828
to my pastor right now.

7
00:00:12,905 --> 00:00:14,496
But you came to a therapist instead.

8
00:00:14,516 --> 00:00:16,266
Heather Husband asserts
that the defendant

9
00:00:16,303 --> 00:00:18,092
took a swing at them
with a baseball bat.

10
00:00:18,186 --> 00:00:19,593
No, Brian came at me.

11
00:00:19,630 --> 00:00:21,421
We will be seeking 25 years in prison.

12
00:00:21,523 --> 00:00:23,264
It's a news story about you.

13
00:00:23,358 --> 00:00:25,766
"Scott's prime suspects
include her brother."

14
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,026
That's Dylan's paper.

15
00:00:27,144 --> 00:00:29,195
- His name is in the byline.
- He was using me.

16
00:00:29,232 --> 00:00:30,488
I'm so sorry.

17
00:00:38,214 --> 00:00:40,115
Success comes from experience.

18
00:00:40,366 --> 00:00:42,216
Easy and I use what happened to me

19
00:00:42,253 --> 00:00:44,101
in the justice system as motivation.

20
00:00:44,128 --> 00:00:45,522
I lived the hell.

21
00:00:45,559 --> 00:00:46,841
We don't want another innocent person

22
00:00:46,878 --> 00:00:48,105
to have to go through that.

23
00:00:48,190 --> 00:00:51,108
And being good at what we do
doesn't hurt either.

24
00:00:51,174 --> 00:00:53,363
Does taking "winner" cases

25
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,800
help your firm, too?

26
00:00:55,948 --> 00:00:58,681
Y'all seem to only take
the flashy, newsworthy cases

27
00:00:58,718 --> 00:01:00,451
everybody knows about.

28
00:01:00,643 --> 00:01:02,285
Just like your case, Ms. Scott.

29
00:01:02,338 --> 00:01:05,231
- That's not necessarily true.
- You make headlines on the backs

30
00:01:05,268 --> 00:01:08,216
of the wrongfully accused.
Let's keep it real, Ms. Scott.

31
00:01:08,294 --> 00:01:09,685
You miss the attention.

32
00:01:09,762 --> 00:01:11,084
I don't miss anything about losing

33
00:01:11,121 --> 00:01:13,148
ten years of my life to prison.

34
00:01:13,226 --> 00:01:14,550
I did 20.

35
00:01:15,871 --> 00:01:17,836
Wrongfully convicted, just like you.

36
00:01:18,228 --> 00:01:20,211
I got out thanks to
the dedicated lawyers

37
00:01:20,248 --> 00:01:21,396
at the Innocence Project.

38
00:01:21,537 --> 00:01:22,748
That's great, miss...

39
00:01:22,785 --> 00:01:24,409
Amina Jackson.

40
00:01:24,610 --> 00:01:26,252
I'm a civil rights activist,

41
00:01:26,329 --> 00:01:28,588
and an organizer for the folks
here in East Cleveland.

42
00:01:29,874 --> 00:01:31,257
This is my community.

43
00:01:34,428 --> 00:01:36,003
That is great, Ms. Jackson,

44
00:01:36,097 --> 00:01:37,930
but I just want to
make one thing clear.

45
00:01:38,049 --> 00:01:41,390
Our firm takes every
deserving client we come across.

46
00:01:41,427 --> 00:01:43,418
We don't care if the client is famous

47
00:01:43,496 --> 00:01:44,845
or if the trial will make the news.

48
00:01:44,963 --> 00:01:47,331
We believe the justice system
is flawed.

49
00:01:47,401 --> 00:01:48,833
And we are here to help fix that.

50
00:01:49,027 --> 00:01:50,926
We're trying to end these mistakes.

51
00:01:51,003 --> 00:01:52,628
Oh, please.

52
00:01:52,864 --> 00:01:55,078
There ain't no ending anything
when you come from

53
00:01:55,115 --> 00:01:57,191
an underprivileged and dying community.

54
00:01:57,309 --> 00:01:59,085
If someone needs our help,
we don't give a damn

55
00:01:59,122 --> 00:02:00,552
where they come from.

56
00:02:01,164 --> 00:02:02,685
Good.

57
00:02:03,148 --> 00:02:06,154
An innocent East Cleve man,
Davon Watkins,

58
00:02:06,236 --> 00:02:08,903
is on death row,
blamed for murdering a cop.

59
00:02:09,383 --> 00:02:11,029
He's not famous.

60
00:02:11,294 --> 00:02:13,270
And he's poor as dirt.

61
00:02:13,821 --> 00:02:15,070
You ready to fight the case

62
00:02:15,107 --> 00:02:17,557
that everybody else was
too damn afraid to take?

63
00:02:20,629 --> 00:02:24,010
Like I said, no attorney
in Ohio will touch it.

64
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:26,216
It's because Davon was a drug dealer.

65
00:02:26,369 --> 00:02:28,101
Davon is not a saint,

66
00:02:28,521 --> 00:02:30,628
but he for sure ain't a killer.

67
00:02:30,665 --> 00:02:33,280
Davon grew up
three houses away from me.

68
00:02:33,512 --> 00:02:35,488
I know him like I'd know
my own brother.

69
00:02:35,606 --> 00:02:38,658
And there is no way
he killed an undercover cop.

70
00:02:38,857 --> 00:02:39,981
Why'd they arrest him?

71
00:02:40,018 --> 00:02:41,994
Because of the car he was driving.

72
00:02:42,196 --> 00:02:44,238
There was a drive-by shooting
in the park.

73
00:02:44,314 --> 00:02:46,332
A bullet hit an undercover cop.

74
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:48,483
Folks say the shooter
was a man with a gun,

75
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,625
driving a black Impala.

76
00:02:49,662 --> 00:02:51,078
Yeah, but it couldn't have been Davon.

77
00:02:51,441 --> 00:02:54,064
He was picking me up from the grocery

78
00:02:54,216 --> 00:02:56,233
like he always do
the first of the month.

79
00:02:56,630 --> 00:02:58,235
The cops didn't believe his alibi?

80
00:02:58,262 --> 00:02:59,997
You know how it goes.

81
00:03:00,181 --> 00:03:03,274
One of their own gets hit,
and they come down with a fury.

82
00:03:03,431 --> 00:03:05,092
There was some mistake.

83
00:03:05,210 --> 00:03:07,478
Davon is innocent.

84
00:03:09,954 --> 00:03:11,190
Can we help them?

85
00:03:11,273 --> 00:03:12,845
A cop killer? That's rough.

86
00:03:12,882 --> 00:03:13,991
Well, maybe we could.

87
00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:15,704
You said he's on death row, right?

88
00:03:15,782 --> 00:03:17,462
Can you imagine how horrible that is?

89
00:03:17,499 --> 00:03:19,657
Yeah, I can imagine.
I work with you every day.

90
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:22,266
We've never tried
a death penalty case before.

91
00:03:23,184 --> 00:03:25,020
We'd have to file a motion
for permission

92
00:03:25,057 --> 00:03:26,985
to appear pro hac vice in Ohio.

93
00:03:27,110 --> 00:03:28,487
So you're doing this?

94
00:03:28,524 --> 00:03:29,797
I think we should look into it.

95
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:32,577
Why? Because Amina Jackson
dared you to?

96
00:03:32,614 --> 00:03:34,213
No, because I believe her.

97
00:03:34,331 --> 00:03:35,789
The client is a known drug dealer.

98
00:03:35,908 --> 00:03:37,950
The victim is an undercover
narcotics officer.

99
00:03:38,005 --> 00:03:40,409
There's no evidence
of prosecutory misconduct

100
00:03:40,446 --> 00:03:42,068
or police abuse.

101
00:03:42,394 --> 00:03:43,742
I'm curious.

102
00:04:10,235 --> 00:04:13,327
Death is the ultimate price
to pay for any crime.

103
00:04:13,445 --> 00:04:16,830
It's also an admission that
our criminal justice system

104
00:04:16,949 --> 00:04:18,914
is really about revenge.

105
00:04:19,093 --> 00:04:21,093
On this week's Until Proven Innocent,

106
00:04:21,253 --> 00:04:23,429
we'll discuss the case
of Davon Watkins,

107
00:04:23,932 --> 00:04:25,783
a man sentenced to death.

108
00:04:25,834 --> 00:04:27,662
We'll talk about the death penalty.

109
00:04:27,709 --> 00:04:30,436
And whether you think
it's good for society or not,

110
00:04:30,596 --> 00:04:33,475
you should know that
it is used disproportionately

111
00:04:33,512 --> 00:04:35,935
against the poor and minorities.

112
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,139
And more than that,
since humans are fallible,

113
00:04:40,556 --> 00:04:43,282
what happens when
we execute the innocent?

114
00:04:43,922 --> 00:04:45,745
It is a decision...

115
00:04:46,014 --> 00:04:48,204
that can never be undone.

116
00:04:52,243 --> 00:04:53,700
Hey, D.

117
00:04:54,459 --> 00:04:55,961
Sis.

118
00:04:56,509 --> 00:04:57,851
Hi, Davon.

119
00:04:57,888 --> 00:04:59,346
I'm Madeline Scott.

120
00:04:59,689 --> 00:05:01,420
Amina said you had a partner.

121
00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:03,000
Uh, yeah, Easy.

122
00:05:03,037 --> 00:05:05,212
He couldn't make it... issue
with another one of our cases.

123
00:05:05,607 --> 00:05:08,382
Yeah? Or is it an issue with my case?

124
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:09,857
That's not it at all.

125
00:05:09,994 --> 00:05:11,960
Easy's never been afraid
of taking chances,

126
00:05:11,979 --> 00:05:13,387
and neither am I.

127
00:05:13,505 --> 00:05:14,888
You're what kind of lawyer?

128
00:05:15,007 --> 00:05:16,561
Reinsurance investigations.

129
00:05:16,598 --> 00:05:18,522
- That sounds kind of boring.
- Oh, it definitely is.

130
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,969
You know, I'm sorry,
Mr. Boudreau, you just...

131
00:05:20,988 --> 00:05:23,230
you don't seem like the right
kind of lawyer for my case.

132
00:05:23,462 --> 00:05:25,658
But you wrote me a letter,
not the other way around.

133
00:05:25,695 --> 00:05:28,112
Maybe we should just see how this goes.

134
00:05:28,329 --> 00:05:30,321
She's cool, Davon.

135
00:05:42,875 --> 00:05:44,416
So...

136
00:05:44,453 --> 00:05:47,012
a taxi driver named Sasha Novak
saw the crime.

137
00:05:47,131 --> 00:05:48,859
Identified you as the shooter.

138
00:05:49,038 --> 00:05:51,183
He's lying, 'cause I wasn't there.

139
00:05:51,659 --> 00:05:53,578
I swear on my mother's grave

140
00:05:53,644 --> 00:05:55,528
I didn't kill no cop.

141
00:05:55,806 --> 00:05:57,523
All right? I don't even own a gun.

142
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,588
Mr. Novak also told the police
that he said

143
00:06:00,625 --> 00:06:02,586
the shooter was driving
a black Impala that night

144
00:06:02,623 --> 00:06:05,606
and that he saw the first four
digits of the license plate

145
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,608
which were an exact match to your car.

146
00:06:07,726 --> 00:06:08,858
Can you explain that?

147
00:06:08,895 --> 00:06:10,870
He can't explain it.

148
00:06:11,194 --> 00:06:13,313
- Isn't that your job?
- No, my job is to find out

149
00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:15,147
if there's a path to exoneration.

150
00:06:15,511 --> 00:06:17,101
It wasn't even my car.

151
00:06:17,485 --> 00:06:20,362
All right? I was borrowing it
from my homie, Ray...

152
00:06:21,578 --> 00:06:23,132
Who's Ray?

153
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:27,961
Ray Gibbs.

154
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:31,015
He used to run drugs
with Davon back in the day.

155
00:06:34,228 --> 00:06:35,686
All right.

156
00:06:36,955 --> 00:06:39,363
I think the cops...
I think the cops fed

157
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,233
that taxi driver some information.

158
00:06:41,475 --> 00:06:44,069
Told him what to say, told him
my license plate, all that.

159
00:06:44,350 --> 00:06:45,963
What happened
when they pulled you over?

160
00:06:46,069 --> 00:06:48,363
They just ran up on me
with their guns out

161
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,889
and started screaming,

162
00:06:49,926 --> 00:06:52,152
"G-Get out the car, get on the ground."

163
00:06:53,105 --> 00:06:55,414
Then they cuffed me and just
threw me in the back of the car.

164
00:06:55,532 --> 00:06:57,249
Did they tell you why
you were being arrested?

165
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,418
They said a witness ID'd me.

166
00:07:00,022 --> 00:07:02,087
Lying taxi driver.

167
00:07:02,491 --> 00:07:04,858
If Mr. Novak is lying...

168
00:07:05,272 --> 00:07:06,788
...why'd he pick you?

169
00:07:07,397 --> 00:07:09,336
Did you know him? Did he dislike you?

170
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:12,850
A-All I know is that he said
I was the shooter.

171
00:07:12,962 --> 00:07:14,294
But he's wrong.

172
00:07:14,430 --> 00:07:15,917
You hear me?

173
00:07:16,713 --> 00:07:18,897
I didn't-I didn't do this.

174
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,303
I'm on the street 15, 16 hours a day.

175
00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:28,764
I know what's going on out there.

176
00:07:28,974 --> 00:07:31,766
I see that Impala
cruising by real slow.

177
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:34,453
I know it's dopers or worse.

178
00:07:34,571 --> 00:07:36,438
And I was right, too,
because an hour later,

179
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,441
same car drives by...

180
00:07:39,605 --> 00:07:41,201
Poor cop gets killed.

181
00:07:41,418 --> 00:07:43,919
You knew the victim,
Steve Sampson, was a cop?

182
00:07:44,147 --> 00:07:46,373
No, not at the time. Afterwards.

183
00:07:46,702 --> 00:07:49,925
And you have zero doubt about
your recollection, then or now?

184
00:07:49,962 --> 00:07:51,764
Zero. I saw what happened.

185
00:07:51,806 --> 00:07:53,962
The punk drives by, shoots the cop

186
00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:55,382
and then drives off.

187
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,407
I mean, I immediately
radioed the-the cops

188
00:07:57,444 --> 00:07:58,725
and I gave them the make, the model

189
00:07:58,762 --> 00:07:59,961
and the license plate number.

190
00:07:59,981 --> 00:08:01,463
And then I ID'd him.

191
00:08:01,631 --> 00:08:03,465
You went down to the station
for a lineup?

192
00:08:03,561 --> 00:08:05,238
No, I drove around with them
for a few blocks

193
00:08:05,291 --> 00:08:07,308
till we saw that same car
with the license plate.

194
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:09,563
They asked me if the punk
handcuffed inside

195
00:08:09,657 --> 00:08:11,231
is the shooter and I says, "Yeah."

196
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:13,066
And then they put him
in the-the police car.

197
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,402
He was already in handcuffs
when you ID'd him?

198
00:08:15,696 --> 00:08:17,237
Yeah, thankfully.

199
00:08:17,331 --> 00:08:19,964
You know, cops ought
to be grateful that I'm around.

200
00:08:20,165 --> 00:08:22,324
You know, I saw that same damn car,

201
00:08:22,361 --> 00:08:24,986
same damn license plate,
two days later.

202
00:08:25,665 --> 00:08:27,898
I have an eagle eye
for this kind of thing.

203
00:08:28,410 --> 00:08:30,019
Look, I got to get back. We done here?

204
00:08:30,056 --> 00:08:32,699
Sure. Thanks.

205
00:08:35,668 --> 00:08:38,173
I told you he was a liar.

206
00:08:38,210 --> 00:08:40,744
He saw the same car
with the same license plate

207
00:08:40,793 --> 00:08:42,707
two days later? It's impossible.

208
00:08:42,744 --> 00:08:44,754
Yeah, absolutely. The cops
would have impounded the car

209
00:08:44,791 --> 00:08:46,358
if it was involved in a crime.

210
00:08:46,705 --> 00:08:48,196
Told you.

211
00:08:49,097 --> 00:08:51,029
Something doesn't add up.

212
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:53,389
So tell me...

213
00:08:53,504 --> 00:08:56,368
you gonna take Davon's
death penalty case or not?

214
00:08:57,325 --> 00:08:58,959
I'm in.

215
00:09:05,769 --> 00:09:06,873
Morning.

216
00:09:06,910 --> 00:09:08,234
Good morning.

217
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:13,144
The hell's going on?

218
00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:15,388
Zahn's people have invaded.

219
00:09:15,457 --> 00:09:17,769
Campaign strategy's being
formed, lots of bodies.

220
00:09:17,806 --> 00:09:19,926
Guess that's what happens when
you have an unlimited bankroll.

221
00:09:20,052 --> 00:09:22,631
Well, they can't have a campaign
headquarters in my office.

222
00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:23,787
Why didn't you tell them that?

223
00:09:23,823 --> 00:09:25,090
What are you both doing out here?

224
00:09:25,127 --> 00:09:26,396
Excellent question.

225
00:09:26,433 --> 00:09:28,592
- They're not listening to us.
- Not at all.

226
00:09:28,629 --> 00:09:29,748
I was trying to infuse your idea

227
00:09:29,785 --> 00:09:31,385
about Rosemary's Law
into their strategies...

228
00:09:31,421 --> 00:09:32,642
Ah, there he is: Mr. Bellows.

229
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,155
Such a pleasure to finally meet you.

230
00:09:34,192 --> 00:09:35,654
- Noah Weiss, campaign strategist.
- Ah.

231
00:09:35,691 --> 00:09:37,301
I'm sure Mr. Zahn has mentioned me.

232
00:09:37,338 --> 00:09:39,020
Well, not... specifically,

233
00:09:39,057 --> 00:09:41,490
but, uh, you can't... be here.

234
00:09:41,527 --> 00:09:43,154
- There are laws.
- Oh, that's understood.

235
00:09:43,191 --> 00:09:44,888
We're finding space across the street.

236
00:09:44,925 --> 00:09:46,506
In the meantime, what I need from you

237
00:09:46,543 --> 00:09:48,495
is your reaction
to what we've been working on.

238
00:09:48,613 --> 00:09:50,558
- So, uh...
- You know, uh, Mr. Weiss?

239
00:09:50,738 --> 00:09:52,590
- Noah.
- Noah.

240
00:09:52,627 --> 00:09:54,598
You've met Connor Mayfeld
and Isabel Sanchez,

241
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:56,407
they're both on my campaign staff.

242
00:09:56,450 --> 00:09:58,524
Perhaps you should hear some
of their ideas as well.

243
00:09:58,590 --> 00:10:01,435
Of course. You folks had a really cagey

244
00:10:01,472 --> 00:10:03,826
and pinpointed operation here,
but I think Mr. Zahn

245
00:10:03,863 --> 00:10:05,846
has something more grand in mind.

246
00:10:05,883 --> 00:10:06,949
Sorry, grand?

247
00:10:06,986 --> 00:10:09,026
Well, with the kind of cash infusion
that he's talking about,

248
00:10:09,063 --> 00:10:10,667
we're gonna need to change
the entire structure

249
00:10:10,704 --> 00:10:11,602
of the campaign.

250
00:10:11,644 --> 00:10:13,268
It's time to go big.

251
00:10:13,433 --> 00:10:15,597
- How big?
- Nine figures big.

252
00:10:16,484 --> 00:10:18,646
In a post-Citizens United
world, this is it.

253
00:10:18,683 --> 00:10:20,929
This is the only way to win.
And in the last three years,

254
00:10:20,974 --> 00:10:23,623
my firm has won dozens
of elections at every level.

255
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:25,290
I promise you, sir,

256
00:10:26,002 --> 00:10:28,995
you're gonna be really happy
with the results.

257
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:31,015
Thank you, sir.

258
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,347
This is ridiculous.

259
00:10:33,472 --> 00:10:35,537
Mr. Big-Time New Yorker, he can't just

260
00:10:35,582 --> 00:10:37,027
come in here and tell us
how to do our jobs.

261
00:10:37,088 --> 00:10:38,412
Train is racing ahead, Connor.

262
00:10:39,026 --> 00:10:40,576
If you want to stay
my campaign manager,

263
00:10:40,613 --> 00:10:41,933
you better get out
the knives and show me

264
00:10:41,969 --> 00:10:44,957
why it ought to be you instead
of Mr. Big-Time New Yorker.

265
00:10:51,543 --> 00:10:52,876
All right, good news, guys.

266
00:10:52,913 --> 00:10:54,475
I spoke with the East Cleveland police

267
00:10:54,512 --> 00:10:56,311
and they confirmed
that Davon's black Impala

268
00:10:56,348 --> 00:10:58,991
was indeed impounded
for six weeks after his arrest.

269
00:10:59,067 --> 00:11:01,234
So the cabbie must've seen
a different black Impala?

270
00:11:01,347 --> 00:11:02,513
Yeah, exactly.

271
00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:04,329
They also confirmed
that his black Impala

272
00:11:04,366 --> 00:11:06,784
was stolen from a,
uh, car rental agency.

273
00:11:07,254 --> 00:11:10,232
Okay, so Davon's buddy Ray
stole an Impala

274
00:11:10,269 --> 00:11:13,668
and then loaned it to Davon?
How does this help our case?

275
00:11:13,832 --> 00:11:15,223
I don't know,

276
00:11:15,299 --> 00:11:17,250
but I don't see you bringing
anything to this meeting.

277
00:11:17,785 --> 00:11:19,301
I brought the cappuccinos.

278
00:11:19,761 --> 00:11:21,513
We need to go back to Cleveland.

279
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:22,707
No, thank you.

280
00:11:22,744 --> 00:11:24,285
Other than the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,

281
00:11:24,322 --> 00:11:26,183
there's nothing for me there.
Take Boudreau.

282
00:11:26,246 --> 00:11:29,262
Uh, wish I could, but I have
other pressing court dates.

283
00:11:29,504 --> 00:11:30,967
You're still against Davon's case?

284
00:11:31,004 --> 00:11:32,939
I didn't say that,
but we have other clients, too.

285
00:11:33,460 --> 00:11:34,751
You got this.

286
00:11:34,884 --> 00:11:37,552
Take Bodie and Violet as backup.

287
00:11:38,085 --> 00:11:39,651
Are you guys talking about me?

288
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:41,010
- Nope.
- Yup.

289
00:11:53,129 --> 00:11:54,961
It's a sweet ride.

290
00:11:55,133 --> 00:11:57,107
I can get you a deal
on the weekly rental.

291
00:11:57,168 --> 00:11:59,943
Eh. I'm looking for something
a little more, you know, unique.

292
00:12:00,078 --> 00:12:01,795
These cars are all identical.

293
00:12:01,913 --> 00:12:04,205
Yeah, we buy them at fleet rates
to keep the costs down.

294
00:12:04,654 --> 00:12:06,021
I mean, they're literally identical,

295
00:12:06,058 --> 00:12:07,654
even the license plates are sequential.

296
00:12:07,691 --> 00:12:08,980
What do you-what do you guys do,

297
00:12:09,017 --> 00:12:10,794
send all the paperwork into the DMV

298
00:12:10,831 --> 00:12:12,496
at the same time or something?

299
00:12:12,636 --> 00:12:15,433
- You with the cops?
- Nah.

300
00:12:15,593 --> 00:12:17,978
I'm trying to get an
innocent guy off death row.

301
00:12:18,096 --> 00:12:20,402
Hey, you guys keep good records?

302
00:12:20,496 --> 00:12:22,148
Yeah, sure. What do you need?

303
00:12:22,267 --> 00:12:24,902
Looking for a 2004 black Impala.

304
00:12:24,939 --> 00:12:26,219
- All right.
- Would've been rented out

305
00:12:26,255 --> 00:12:27,777
March 1, 2006.

306
00:12:27,902 --> 00:12:30,905
And boom goes the dynamite.

307
00:12:31,161 --> 00:12:34,058
You guys had six black Impalas.

308
00:12:34,394 --> 00:12:35,587
You think they all had

309
00:12:35,624 --> 00:12:37,293
consecutive license plates like these?

310
00:12:37,379 --> 00:12:39,005
Identical except the last digit.

311
00:12:39,316 --> 00:12:40,834
Interesting.

312
00:12:45,027 --> 00:12:47,589
- Ray.
- Hey. What's up, Amina?

313
00:12:47,633 --> 00:12:49,832
- Hey. How you doing, man?
- Good, how are you?

314
00:12:49,879 --> 00:12:51,318
Um, good.

315
00:12:51,355 --> 00:12:53,663
You got a couple of minutes
for some questions?

316
00:12:53,869 --> 00:12:56,105
Hey, look, I don't know nothing
about nothing, all right?

317
00:12:56,246 --> 00:12:58,944
Come on, Ray, act like you got
some home training.

318
00:12:59,472 --> 00:13:01,839
These folks here to talk about Davon.

319
00:13:02,511 --> 00:13:04,418
Davon's life is on the line,

320
00:13:04,871 --> 00:13:07,378
and we understand that
you used to deal drugs

321
00:13:07,415 --> 00:13:08,856
with him years ago.

322
00:13:09,293 --> 00:13:11,606
Yeah, and that's just
what it was: years ago.

323
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,590
I'm a whole barber now, as you can see.

324
00:13:13,666 --> 00:13:15,074
We respect that.

325
00:13:15,363 --> 00:13:16,902
We just want to know if
you can tell us about

326
00:13:16,939 --> 00:13:18,939
the car you loaned Davon
the night he was arrested.

327
00:13:18,976 --> 00:13:20,588
Hey, look, if y'all
ain't no paying clientele,

328
00:13:20,625 --> 00:13:22,042
y'all get the hell out, straight up.

329
00:13:22,277 --> 00:13:24,504
- For real, for real?
- For real.

330
00:13:26,307 --> 00:13:29,049
Oh, man.

331
00:13:29,229 --> 00:13:30,788
This some bull.

332
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:34,552
You want a fade, man?

333
00:13:34,589 --> 00:13:36,371
The hell I'm supposed to do with this?

334
00:13:36,449 --> 00:13:38,725
Just make me pretty, man,
just make me pretty.

335
00:13:38,802 --> 00:13:40,819
That's hard work.

336
00:13:41,027 --> 00:13:43,535
Look, I ain't steal no car.

337
00:13:43,785 --> 00:13:45,572
I don't want that type
of hassle, you know.

338
00:13:45,609 --> 00:13:49,386
Yeah, but your name isn't on
any of the car rental records.

339
00:13:49,738 --> 00:13:51,479
That joint neighborhood-owned,

340
00:13:51,516 --> 00:13:52,939
more like "hood-owned."

341
00:13:53,060 --> 00:13:54,310
Drug runs?

342
00:13:54,347 --> 00:13:56,001
Make running product a little easier.

343
00:13:56,078 --> 00:14:00,005
They loaned out cars
off the books to drug gangs?

344
00:14:00,136 --> 00:14:02,563
Hell yeah. Every Vice Lord
know the drill.

345
00:14:02,676 --> 00:14:04,707
Man, you show that money,
them keys yours.

346
00:14:04,902 --> 00:14:06,382
So there could've been
another black Impala

347
00:14:06,418 --> 00:14:07,521
on the road that night.

348
00:14:07,605 --> 00:14:09,837
Definitely. I mean, name one hustler

349
00:14:09,874 --> 00:14:11,815
that don't want to drive an Impala.

350
00:14:13,129 --> 00:14:15,233
Why you ain't say that
at Davon's first trial?

351
00:14:15,270 --> 00:14:16,987
Because ain't nobody asked me.

352
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:19,180
All we have to do is find out

353
00:14:19,217 --> 00:14:20,828
who was driving the other Impalas,

354
00:14:20,865 --> 00:14:21,948
we'll find the shooter.

355
00:14:21,985 --> 00:14:23,910
Good luck with that.

356
00:14:24,062 --> 00:14:25,386
Meaning?

357
00:14:25,566 --> 00:14:27,732
Meaning this is East Cleveland.

358
00:14:27,829 --> 00:14:30,481
If you snitch, you're dead.

359
00:14:30,587 --> 00:14:31,905
Facts.

360
00:14:35,026 --> 00:14:36,612
I know you're pissed off about

361
00:14:36,666 --> 00:14:38,824
the Dylan article. I'm angry too.

362
00:14:38,863 --> 00:14:40,862
- But you can't keep avoiding me.
- Nah, actually,

363
00:14:40,899 --> 00:14:42,565
it's better this way.

364
00:14:42,666 --> 00:14:44,383
Less I'm with you,

365
00:14:44,707 --> 00:14:46,459
less I'm in the paper.

366
00:14:46,691 --> 00:14:49,388
He's out of my life, all right?
He used me.

367
00:14:49,425 --> 00:14:51,216
He wrote what you told him,

368
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,511
that you think that I killed Rosemary.

369
00:14:53,636 --> 00:14:55,227
I...

370
00:14:56,074 --> 00:14:59,162
Look, you were right, okay?
About Heather and the Adderall.

371
00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:00,506
I spoke to Linda Barrett and she's...

372
00:15:00,543 --> 00:15:02,049
Well, none of that was in
the article, was it?

373
00:15:02,127 --> 00:15:03,447
Well, I didn't know that Dylan would...

374
00:15:03,483 --> 00:15:05,944
Yeah, you did!
You of all people would know.

375
00:15:06,232 --> 00:15:08,148
Come on, Maddie, when we were on trial

376
00:15:08,187 --> 00:15:10,163
you knew that we had to stick together,

377
00:15:10,318 --> 00:15:11,566
'cause anything that we could say,

378
00:15:11,603 --> 00:15:13,762
it would-it would come back to hurt us.

379
00:15:14,296 --> 00:15:16,112
And guess what,
now I'm the one that's hurt.

380
00:15:16,497 --> 00:15:18,484
- I'm sorry.
- No, you're not, though.

381
00:15:18,521 --> 00:15:20,695
You're happy,
because now you have everything

382
00:15:20,732 --> 00:15:21,843
just the way that you want it.

383
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,710
- What does that mean?
- It means that big brother

384
00:15:23,747 --> 00:15:25,665
screws up and little sister
gets to come and bail him out.

385
00:15:25,702 --> 00:15:27,852
- That's our pattern.
- Well, that's not fair.

386
00:15:28,051 --> 00:15:29,884
I love you and I want to help you.

387
00:15:30,167 --> 00:15:31,842
Maybe if you didn't
screw up all the time

388
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:33,388
with the lying and the drugs.

389
00:15:33,764 --> 00:15:35,738
You make it so difficult
for me to trust you.

390
00:15:35,775 --> 00:15:36,998
I make it difficult?

391
00:15:37,044 --> 00:15:38,668
You're the one that just poisoned

392
00:15:38,705 --> 00:15:40,021
a jury in my assault case.

393
00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:41,779
You don't have to worry
about that, all right?

394
00:15:41,816 --> 00:15:43,116
I will instruct the jury

395
00:15:43,153 --> 00:15:44,545
- to make sure that they...
- No, no, no.

396
00:15:44,582 --> 00:15:45,967
Don't do anything.

397
00:15:46,801 --> 00:15:48,194
I'm firing you.

398
00:15:48,366 --> 00:15:51,334
- Take my chances with legal aid.
- Levi, don't be stu...

399
00:15:53,745 --> 00:15:55,279
That's a mistake.

400
00:15:56,617 --> 00:15:58,559
At least it's my mistake now.

401
00:15:58,677 --> 00:16:00,529
This one has nothing to do with you.

402
00:16:04,435 --> 00:16:07,330
- You got a lawyer?
- No, I kind of have a lawyer.

403
00:16:07,570 --> 00:16:09,552
He does reinsurance law.

404
00:16:09,779 --> 00:16:12,013
I wrote a letter
to every lawyer in Illinois.

405
00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:13,857
I thought only the criminal
lawyers would respond,

406
00:16:13,894 --> 00:16:16,654
but he says he's trying something new.

407
00:16:16,787 --> 00:16:18,209
What kind of fool is this?

408
00:16:18,246 --> 00:16:19,740
You know, he didn't look like a fool.

409
00:16:19,826 --> 00:16:22,295
He was actually
a young, handsome black man.

410
00:16:22,365 --> 00:16:24,209
- You never said he was black.
- So?

411
00:16:24,311 --> 00:16:25,420
Come on, a black guy,

412
00:16:25,457 --> 00:16:27,638
helping the white infamous
girl in a murder rap?

413
00:16:27,675 --> 00:16:28,943
You're not gonna see a guy like that

414
00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:30,420
answering any of my letters.

415
00:16:30,617 --> 00:16:33,135
Maybe that's 'cause
you didn't write any letters.

416
00:16:34,546 --> 00:16:37,196
Maybe that's 'cause
I'm guilty as all hell.

417
00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:44,654
Maybe we should just bring the
rental car company into court.

418
00:16:44,691 --> 00:16:47,224
Multiple Impalas?
That has got to be a slam dunk.

419
00:16:47,284 --> 00:16:49,623
Madeline's good, but she's not,
like, LeBron James

420
00:16:49,668 --> 00:16:51,600
- of the Cleveland courtroom.
- Doesn't LeBron

421
00:16:51,637 --> 00:16:53,638
- play for the Lakers now?
- Yeah, he does.

422
00:16:53,694 --> 00:16:55,774
And that's one of the reasons
that Cleveland's so depressing.

423
00:16:55,810 --> 00:16:58,695
Okay. Let's stay focused. Uh,
yes, I will bring that to court.

424
00:16:58,732 --> 00:17:00,185
We still need to find the real shooter.

425
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:01,943
Yeah, so does Cleveland.

426
00:17:02,392 --> 00:17:03,819
All right, so, I got good news.

427
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:05,318
We found the other witness.

428
00:17:05,540 --> 00:17:07,927
Wait. What's this "we"?
I tracked her down.

429
00:17:07,964 --> 00:17:09,464
I showed you where to look.

430
00:17:09,501 --> 00:17:11,589
Nancy Curtis.
She was married and divorced

431
00:17:11,626 --> 00:17:13,140
a couple times since Davon's trial,

432
00:17:13,177 --> 00:17:14,547
which is why she was
so difficult to find.

433
00:17:14,672 --> 00:17:16,258
She testified at Davon's trial

434
00:17:16,295 --> 00:17:18,734
that she saw the shooting from
her window across from the park.

435
00:17:19,029 --> 00:17:21,584
This is great. We'll talk to her.

436
00:17:21,935 --> 00:17:24,398
Uh, okay, sorry, I have to
take care of something

437
00:17:24,435 --> 00:17:25,891
before we head back to Cleveland.

438
00:17:26,037 --> 00:17:28,410
- Hot date?
- Uh, we'll go up there tomorrow.

439
00:17:29,052 --> 00:17:30,843
See you later.

440
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,082
My wife and I were headed for our car

441
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,334
when Levi just came out of nowhere

442
00:17:35,371 --> 00:17:36,487
with a baseball bat.

443
00:17:36,524 --> 00:17:38,789
He swung at Heather, but I blocked it.

444
00:17:38,930 --> 00:17:41,314
He punched me, but I disarmed him.

445
00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:43,091
He's lying.

446
00:17:43,128 --> 00:17:45,170
Did you or your wife

447
00:17:45,209 --> 00:17:46,435
provoke Mr. Scott?

448
00:17:46,472 --> 00:17:48,108
No, no, no, no, he just-just

449
00:17:48,145 --> 00:17:50,135
came at us.

450
00:17:50,490 --> 00:17:52,451
We're lucky to be alive.

451
00:17:56,153 --> 00:17:57,608
Your witness.

452
00:18:00,748 --> 00:18:03,914
When I agreed to substitute
in on this case

453
00:18:03,951 --> 00:18:05,578
for the vacationing Judge Boxer,

454
00:18:05,615 --> 00:18:08,883
I promised to quickly
clear her calendar.

455
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,620
I keep my promises, Mr. McGuire,
so, quickly.

456
00:18:11,909 --> 00:18:15,569
Yes, Your Honor, just, uh, one moment.

457
00:18:18,088 --> 00:18:20,196
No further questions.

458
00:18:22,023 --> 00:18:23,545
It's frustrating.

459
00:18:24,584 --> 00:18:26,726
I want to be open and honest
about my emotions,

460
00:18:26,763 --> 00:18:28,560
but I don't want to seem unstable.

461
00:18:29,248 --> 00:18:31,501
Well, I don't see
what's open and honest

462
00:18:31,538 --> 00:18:33,398
about skulking around
with your therapist

463
00:18:33,435 --> 00:18:34,662
and not telling your wife.

464
00:18:34,699 --> 00:18:36,272
Nobody's skulking.

465
00:18:36,309 --> 00:18:39,115
Easy and I have been
discussing some changes

466
00:18:39,209 --> 00:18:40,897
that he's been experiencing
in his life.

467
00:18:40,934 --> 00:18:43,819
Oh. I'll tell you when things changed.

468
00:18:44,256 --> 00:18:46,109
When he answered
Madeline Scott's letter.

469
00:18:46,146 --> 00:18:48,086
Yeah, see, here we go,
blaming Madeline again for ev...

470
00:18:48,123 --> 00:18:51,111
No, baby, I don't blame her,
I blame you.

471
00:18:51,912 --> 00:18:55,857
You made the decision to change
your life, change your career,

472
00:18:56,279 --> 00:18:58,881
and change the time that you
spend with your family.

473
00:18:59,068 --> 00:19:01,837
That's all you, not Madeline.

474
00:19:02,614 --> 00:19:04,836
And what I really want to know

475
00:19:05,340 --> 00:19:08,435
is where was your family
when you made this decision?

476
00:19:08,522 --> 00:19:10,443
Because this affects us, too.

477
00:19:10,599 --> 00:19:12,222
Easy?

478
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:15,276
Any idea as to why?

479
00:19:17,711 --> 00:19:19,920
I needed something more.

480
00:19:21,888 --> 00:19:25,038
- More than your family?
- That's not what I'm saying.

481
00:19:26,029 --> 00:19:27,920
I love you, I love my family.

482
00:19:28,326 --> 00:19:30,683
But... just...

483
00:19:31,013 --> 00:19:33,099
Easy, let me ask you this.

484
00:19:33,513 --> 00:19:36,203
Whatever it is you need in your life,

485
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,982
can some of that
come from your marriage,

486
00:19:39,074 --> 00:19:40,348
your family?

487
00:19:40,385 --> 00:19:41,568
Yes.

488
00:19:41,667 --> 00:19:44,126
Uh, absolutely.

489
00:19:45,662 --> 00:19:48,930
Irene, what do you think?

490
00:19:51,887 --> 00:19:54,029
I honestly don't know anymore.

491
00:19:59,756 --> 00:20:02,323
He was wildly swinging
the baseball bat.

492
00:20:02,701 --> 00:20:04,975
I think it hit my husband in the face.

493
00:20:05,326 --> 00:20:07,037
He threatened to kill us.

494
00:20:07,170 --> 00:20:10,159
- What did he say?
- I don't recall, exactly.

495
00:20:10,196 --> 00:20:12,080
I was terrified.

496
00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:14,423
I'm still having nightmares.

497
00:20:14,576 --> 00:20:17,531
I can just see these vacant, soulless,

498
00:20:17,568 --> 00:20:19,209
killer eyes.

499
00:20:19,472 --> 00:20:22,131
I'm just grateful
my baby girl wasn't there.

500
00:20:22,724 --> 00:20:25,571
Thank you. Your witness.

501
00:20:27,912 --> 00:20:31,344
Um... Mrs. Husband,

502
00:20:31,381 --> 00:20:33,354
where did Levi get the bat from?

503
00:20:33,779 --> 00:20:35,037
I don't know.

504
00:20:35,074 --> 00:20:37,943
I didn't catch a store label
while he was swinging.

505
00:20:38,357 --> 00:20:39,627
Apologies, I meant,

506
00:20:39,664 --> 00:20:42,601
where did Levi retrieve
the-the bat from,

507
00:20:42,638 --> 00:20:44,187
his car or...?

508
00:20:44,578 --> 00:20:46,128
You'd have to ask him.

509
00:20:46,165 --> 00:20:48,216
He's the one that tried
to kill us with it.

510
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:50,538
Uh...

511
00:20:58,370 --> 00:21:00,592
Madeline Scott for the defense,
Your Honor.

512
00:21:00,804 --> 00:21:03,086
Objection. Ms. Scott is no longer

513
00:21:03,123 --> 00:21:04,406
defense counsel on this case.

514
00:21:04,451 --> 00:21:07,462
The defendant has the right
to add me to the defense team.

515
00:21:07,783 --> 00:21:09,407
Levi?

516
00:21:11,285 --> 00:21:15,052
Uh, let her. You may end up
in jail with me.

517
00:21:17,299 --> 00:21:18,607
It's fine.

518
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:21,154
Ms. Scott, you may proceed.

519
00:21:24,342 --> 00:21:27,451
Tell us, Heather,
where was your baby girl?

520
00:21:27,545 --> 00:21:29,209
She was waiting in the car.

521
00:21:29,295 --> 00:21:31,305
Waiting for what?
For you and your husband

522
00:21:31,342 --> 00:21:33,795
to confront Levi
with your baseball bat?

523
00:21:33,943 --> 00:21:37,381
No. I left my scarf on the field.

524
00:21:37,476 --> 00:21:39,693
And it took the two of you
to retrieve a scarf?

525
00:21:39,901 --> 00:21:41,368
It's a nice scarf.

526
00:21:42,537 --> 00:21:45,167
You said that Levi threatened you. Why?

527
00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:48,987
I don't know. He just did.

528
00:21:49,435 --> 00:21:51,546
Levi has always been violent,

529
00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:53,335
ever since high school.

530
00:21:53,461 --> 00:21:55,328
When was Levi violent in high school?

531
00:21:56,037 --> 00:21:57,605
You'd know better than anybody.

532
00:21:57,837 --> 00:21:59,320
I'll ask the question again.

533
00:21:59,357 --> 00:22:02,851
When did you personally see Levi
be violent in high school?

534
00:22:03,398 --> 00:22:05,020
He killed Rosemary Lynch.

535
00:22:05,582 --> 00:22:08,092
I saw him standing over her dead body.

536
00:22:08,226 --> 00:22:10,185
What's more violent than that?

537
00:22:10,787 --> 00:22:12,156
You saw that?

538
00:22:12,193 --> 00:22:13,770
- Yes.
- Really?

539
00:22:13,982 --> 00:22:16,094
Because at our trial,
I distinctly remember

540
00:22:16,131 --> 00:22:18,474
that you said that you were
with Linda Barrett.

541
00:22:18,967 --> 00:22:20,789
That you never saw Rosemary's body.

542
00:22:20,826 --> 00:22:22,836
So were you lying then
or are you lying now?

543
00:22:22,873 --> 00:22:25,984
I can't remember what I said
17 years ago.

544
00:22:26,021 --> 00:22:27,086
I do.

545
00:22:27,123 --> 00:22:30,295
I have read those transcripts
dozens of times.

546
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:32,037
You're a liar.

547
00:22:32,435 --> 00:22:34,000
In fact, this whole case

548
00:22:34,037 --> 00:22:36,578
is nothing more than a personal
vendetta against my brother.

549
00:22:36,615 --> 00:22:38,555
- Isn't that right?
- Objection, Your Honor.

550
00:22:38,592 --> 00:22:40,601
Defense counsel is offering testimony.

551
00:22:40,638 --> 00:22:42,476
Withdrawn. I'll ask again,

552
00:22:42,513 --> 00:22:45,459
when did you see Levi be violent?

553
00:22:45,522 --> 00:22:48,627
He hit my husband in the face
with a baseball bat.

554
00:22:49,726 --> 00:22:52,373
The bat hit your husband in the face?

555
00:22:52,448 --> 00:22:56,013
Because your husband just testified

556
00:22:56,058 --> 00:22:57,185
that Levi punched him.

557
00:22:57,222 --> 00:22:58,865
So which was it, a bat or a fist?

558
00:22:58,902 --> 00:23:01,891
It... it all happened so fast.

559
00:23:01,928 --> 00:23:03,404
Levi is a killer.

560
00:23:03,451 --> 00:23:04,904
You know, since you can't
tell this court

561
00:23:04,941 --> 00:23:06,667
the difference
between a bat and a fist,

562
00:23:06,704 --> 00:23:08,064
I'd say that you're a liar.

563
00:23:08,101 --> 00:23:09,888
Just like you lied
at our original trial.

564
00:23:09,925 --> 00:23:11,342
Tell me something,
why do you keep lying

565
00:23:11,379 --> 00:23:13,689
- against the Scott family?
- Objection, Your Honor.

566
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,855
Withdrawn. I think we know
where this witness stands

567
00:23:15,892 --> 00:23:17,183
on the truth.

568
00:23:19,644 --> 00:23:21,435
Nothing further.

569
00:23:25,717 --> 00:23:28,536
- Levi. What, no "thank you"?
- Thank you.

570
00:23:28,696 --> 00:23:30,474
What... Come on.

571
00:23:30,511 --> 00:23:32,552
While your lawyer
was organizing papers,

572
00:23:32,589 --> 00:23:34,900
I proved that Heather was lying.
I probably saved your ass

573
00:23:34,937 --> 00:23:36,904
25 years in prison.

574
00:23:37,738 --> 00:23:39,121
Why are you laughing?

575
00:23:39,239 --> 00:23:41,123
You don't see it, do you?

576
00:23:41,886 --> 00:23:43,176
You think that you're there for me,

577
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,420
but really, you just show up

578
00:23:44,457 --> 00:23:45,613
when you want to be the hero.

579
00:23:45,660 --> 00:23:46,927
- I do not.
- Okay, fine. Well,

580
00:23:46,964 --> 00:23:48,364
then you believe
what you want to believe,

581
00:23:48,401 --> 00:23:49,852
but I don't need you saving me anymore.

582
00:23:49,889 --> 00:23:51,030
I'm fine on my own.

583
00:23:56,988 --> 00:23:59,171
You weren't so easy to
find, Ms. Curtis.

584
00:23:59,283 --> 00:24:00,537
Why do I need to be found?

585
00:24:00,574 --> 00:24:02,314
I said what I saw in court.

586
00:24:02,409 --> 00:24:04,448
Well, no one said where you lived.

587
00:24:05,041 --> 00:24:06,355
Is this the window

588
00:24:06,392 --> 00:24:08,791
you said you saw the
Davon Watkins shooting from?

589
00:24:08,867 --> 00:24:10,198
Yeah.

590
00:24:13,273 --> 00:24:15,491
You see the woman on that bench?

591
00:24:16,330 --> 00:24:18,827
Can you tell
if she's wearing glasses or not?

592
00:24:19,205 --> 00:24:21,238
- No.
- Yeah, me, neither.

593
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:23,400
What about that blue car?
Can you tell if the driver

594
00:24:23,437 --> 00:24:25,246
is a man or a woman?

595
00:24:27,088 --> 00:24:28,385
I don't really, uh...

596
00:24:28,422 --> 00:24:29,859
Nancy.

597
00:24:30,457 --> 00:24:32,744
Why did you testify that Davon
was the shooter?

598
00:24:32,807 --> 00:24:35,344
You can't possibly have seen him
from that far away.

599
00:24:35,916 --> 00:24:37,754
I know what I saw.

600
00:24:38,104 --> 00:24:40,830
- You all can leave now.
- We're not trying to upset you.

601
00:24:41,143 --> 00:24:43,466
We're just trying to save
an innocent life.

602
00:24:43,722 --> 00:24:46,490
Yeah? So am I.

603
00:24:47,931 --> 00:24:49,612
Did someone threaten you?

604
00:24:49,778 --> 00:24:51,504
Threaten your son?

605
00:24:53,147 --> 00:24:55,977
Nancy, do you know
who the real shooter was?

606
00:24:56,744 --> 00:24:57,824
You think I'm a damn fool?

607
00:24:57,861 --> 00:24:59,083
That's how you get yourself killed.

608
00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,150
We're not gonna tell nobody
what you say to us.

609
00:25:03,638 --> 00:25:07,023
Look, I'm not testifying to
nothing, that's for damn sure.

610
00:25:07,283 --> 00:25:09,712
But that cop-...
he was playing with fire.

611
00:25:10,291 --> 00:25:11,698
Everybody knew when he got burnt,

612
00:25:11,735 --> 00:25:12,745
it was gonna blow back on all of us,

613
00:25:12,782 --> 00:25:13,871
and it sure enough did.

614
00:25:13,908 --> 00:25:15,534
Wait, are you saying that

615
00:25:15,571 --> 00:25:17,621
everyone knew that Sampson was a cop,

616
00:25:17,658 --> 00:25:19,469
even before the shooting?

617
00:25:19,624 --> 00:25:22,002
Everybody knows everything
in this neighborhood.

618
00:25:22,073 --> 00:25:24,986
Just ain't nobody gonna say
what that everything is.

619
00:25:28,709 --> 00:25:31,785
This was no accidental
shooting of a cop.

620
00:25:31,965 --> 00:25:33,965
No. It was a hit.

621
00:25:37,143 --> 00:25:38,910
So you're saying it wasn't
a stray bullet

622
00:25:38,947 --> 00:25:40,112
that killed that cop?

623
00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:42,236
This is good news, Davon.

624
00:25:42,463 --> 00:25:44,505
Maybe now they can
find the real killer.

625
00:25:44,623 --> 00:25:46,340
Nah, I don't know, Gram.

626
00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:48,590
I figure at least, if it was a kid,

627
00:25:49,221 --> 00:25:50,713
then it was an accident.

628
00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:51,893
Somebody would talk.

629
00:25:51,930 --> 00:25:53,192
But this... a hit?

630
00:25:53,229 --> 00:25:54,671
Nah, everybody hushed.

631
00:25:55,353 --> 00:25:56,756
I'm-a die in here for this one.

632
00:25:56,830 --> 00:25:58,185
Davon?

633
00:25:58,455 --> 00:26:01,654
I can't imagine what
it's like to be on death row.

634
00:26:01,971 --> 00:26:04,433
But I know what it's like
to have no hope.

635
00:26:04,658 --> 00:26:06,731
I was eight years in,
nothing but prison bars

636
00:26:06,768 --> 00:26:08,291
and violence ahead of me.

637
00:26:08,729 --> 00:26:10,619
All I had was my truth,

638
00:26:10,930 --> 00:26:13,747
I didn't do this.

639
00:26:18,293 --> 00:26:20,477
You know what kept me going
all this time?

640
00:26:21,846 --> 00:26:24,027
Thinking about the life
that I could've had.

641
00:26:24,432 --> 00:26:25,954
You know.

642
00:26:26,073 --> 00:26:29,291
Me and my girl, we'd have some kids,

643
00:26:29,556 --> 00:26:31,848
get the hell up out of East C.

644
00:26:34,158 --> 00:26:36,432
But that's not my reality.

645
00:26:37,221 --> 00:26:39,643
Do you know anyone
that we can look at for this?

646
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,432
You asking me if I know anybody
in East Cleveland

647
00:26:42,494 --> 00:26:44,309
that'd want to kill a cop?

648
00:26:45,306 --> 00:26:46,631
Everybody.

649
00:26:46,885 --> 00:26:49,275
I got 97 whole days left.

650
00:26:49,408 --> 00:26:51,405
I could have a thousand more...

651
00:26:52,008 --> 00:26:54,225
and still, nobody's gonna talk.

652
00:26:54,335 --> 00:26:56,219
Well, I'm still gonna try.

653
00:26:57,666 --> 00:26:59,129
I heard Madeline Scott

654
00:26:59,166 --> 00:27:01,415
annihilated your star witness on cross.

655
00:27:02,727 --> 00:27:04,683
Does Bellows know I got
my ass handed to me?

656
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,168
Not yet. But I think there's a
way we can manage the situation

657
00:27:07,205 --> 00:27:08,448
and both come out winners.

658
00:27:08,485 --> 00:27:09,882
I'm not giving up.

659
00:27:09,958 --> 00:27:11,791
You should offer a simple assault plea,

660
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:13,502
Class C misdemeanor.

661
00:27:13,650 --> 00:27:15,078
A slap on the wrist?

662
00:27:15,158 --> 00:27:17,301
No way, I can do better than that.

663
00:27:17,338 --> 00:27:19,508
You can, but you won't.

664
00:27:20,158 --> 00:27:21,832
Offer a deal that sends Levi Scott

665
00:27:21,869 --> 00:27:23,218
to anger management counseling.

666
00:27:23,286 --> 00:27:24,720
I'll do the rest.

667
00:27:25,465 --> 00:27:27,174
And how does this help me?

668
00:27:27,463 --> 00:27:29,393
You'll be second chair
when we re-prosecute

669
00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:32,279
Madeline and Levi Scott for
the murder of Rosemary Lynch.

670
00:27:43,518 --> 00:27:47,035
Neighborhood like this only
exists in survival mode.

671
00:27:47,268 --> 00:27:50,856
Violence happens for whatever
reasons it happens,

672
00:27:50,932 --> 00:27:52,791
but nobody sees anything.

673
00:27:53,002 --> 00:27:55,002
So it'll never be safe.

674
00:27:55,463 --> 00:27:58,139
Police is supposed
to make this place safe.

675
00:27:58,635 --> 00:28:01,408
The rest of these folks
are just trying to stay alive.

676
00:28:01,854 --> 00:28:03,926
No one snitches,
no one helps the police,

677
00:28:03,963 --> 00:28:05,785
so the police don't come,
don't do anything

678
00:28:05,822 --> 00:28:07,688
and the cycle of violence continues?

679
00:28:07,725 --> 00:28:09,695
Yeah, something like that.

680
00:28:10,619 --> 00:28:13,101
It gets depressing if you think
about it too hard.

681
00:28:13,204 --> 00:28:15,704
But that's why I'm fighting
to change all that.

682
00:28:17,369 --> 00:28:19,298
If Sampson, the undercover cop,

683
00:28:19,335 --> 00:28:21,963
wasn't undercover, that puts
a huge target on his back.

684
00:28:22,034 --> 00:28:24,324
Well, only a few folks
can shoot at that target

685
00:28:24,361 --> 00:28:25,596
and get away with it.

686
00:28:25,643 --> 00:28:27,293
You mean someone
who instills enough fear

687
00:28:27,330 --> 00:28:29,111
that no one snitches.

688
00:28:30,096 --> 00:28:31,697
So who are we talking about?

689
00:28:32,922 --> 00:28:35,455
I don't know all those
old neighborhood players.

690
00:28:37,537 --> 00:28:39,305
But I can tell you who does.

691
00:28:41,821 --> 00:28:43,771
Look, we know it was a hit.

692
00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:45,793
It's just a matter of who did it.

693
00:28:46,090 --> 00:28:48,066
Or who could get away with it.

694
00:28:49,068 --> 00:28:51,077
Look, man, I don't know nothing.

695
00:28:52,017 --> 00:28:54,017
You're scared.

696
00:28:56,963 --> 00:28:58,898
Why are you scared?

697
00:28:59,058 --> 00:29:01,991
Because gangbangers
don't like questions.

698
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:04,224
But it was 15 years ago.

699
00:29:06,166 --> 00:29:08,218
Whoever did this is still around.

700
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:10,620
And that's why nobody's talking.

701
00:29:12,351 --> 00:29:14,719
Ray, you got family

702
00:29:15,096 --> 00:29:16,403
outside of East Cleveland?

703
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:17,985
Somewhere you can go?

704
00:29:18,853 --> 00:29:20,611
Tell us what we need to know.

705
00:29:20,997 --> 00:29:22,997
We'll help you get out.

706
00:29:23,861 --> 00:29:25,611
You feel trapped.

707
00:29:26,051 --> 00:29:28,196
We know what that feels like.

708
00:29:29,464 --> 00:29:31,767
Imagine how scared Davon is,

709
00:29:32,178 --> 00:29:34,095
waiting to die.

710
00:29:36,104 --> 00:29:38,420
Hey, y'all got to understand, man.

711
00:29:38,604 --> 00:29:40,510
I mean, there's
so much information out there

712
00:29:40,547 --> 00:29:41,838
that people know,

713
00:29:41,875 --> 00:29:43,708
but the streets just ain't talking.

714
00:29:46,948 --> 00:29:49,023
It's Troy D's world, baby.

715
00:29:49,367 --> 00:29:51,718
The rest of us just trying
to live in it, you know?

716
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:55,501
Been this way 20-some-odd years now.

717
00:29:55,624 --> 00:29:58,736
I mean, Troy found out
the man was undercover.

718
00:29:59,956 --> 00:30:01,963
Felt like he needed to take him out.

719
00:30:02,352 --> 00:30:04,202
Troy D.

720
00:30:05,049 --> 00:30:06,264
He's the shooter?

721
00:30:06,301 --> 00:30:07,679
Nah.

722
00:30:07,913 --> 00:30:09,830
Troy D's too smart for that.

723
00:30:09,979 --> 00:30:12,280
Someone does his dirty work.

724
00:30:14,682 --> 00:30:16,768
Omar Blackwell.

725
00:30:20,338 --> 00:30:21,889
Thank you.

726
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:23,891
Hey, listen.

727
00:30:23,985 --> 00:30:25,963
Maybe I'll take you up on that offer.

728
00:30:26,119 --> 00:30:28,096
You know,
to help me get down to my sister

729
00:30:28,147 --> 00:30:29,322
in Lexington.

730
00:30:29,426 --> 00:30:31,176
- Absolutely.
- Yeah.

731
00:30:31,326 --> 00:30:32,825
How do we find Omar?

732
00:30:32,862 --> 00:30:34,520
That's easy. Omar's in prison.

733
00:30:34,557 --> 00:30:37,449
- Where?
- Down at Southie.

734
00:30:37,971 --> 00:30:39,662
On death row.

735
00:31:00,780 --> 00:31:02,669
You a pretty thing, ain't you?

736
00:31:02,706 --> 00:31:05,022
I'm Davon Watkins' attorney.

737
00:31:05,752 --> 00:31:09,210
He's on death row for the murder
of Officer Steve Sampson.

738
00:31:10,890 --> 00:31:13,324
I thought that name would ring a bell.

739
00:31:13,896 --> 00:31:15,451
We have all the proof we need

740
00:31:15,488 --> 00:31:17,980
that you murdered
Officer Sampson, not Davon.

741
00:31:18,206 --> 00:31:20,593
If that was true,
you wouldn't be sitting here.

742
00:31:21,466 --> 00:31:24,177
So let's cut it up
and tell me what y'all want.

743
00:31:24,379 --> 00:31:25,826
All right.

744
00:31:26,235 --> 00:31:27,285
Admit to the shooting

745
00:31:27,321 --> 00:31:29,705
so Davon doesn't die for what you did.

746
00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:31,208
You've exhausted all your appeals.

747
00:31:31,245 --> 00:31:33,011
What have you got to lose?

748
00:31:35,673 --> 00:31:39,146
You make a request of me,
I make one to you.

749
00:31:40,891 --> 00:31:42,740
We see what comes of it, yeah?

750
00:31:43,794 --> 00:31:45,623
Depends on the request.

751
00:31:46,146 --> 00:31:47,808
I got a son.

752
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:50,987
His mama told him I'm dead.

753
00:31:52,815 --> 00:31:55,083
Maybe, but not just yet.

754
00:31:55,383 --> 00:31:57,208
You bring him here

755
00:31:57,245 --> 00:31:59,599
so I can set eyes on him...

756
00:32:00,317 --> 00:32:01,978
and we in business.

757
00:32:06,421 --> 00:32:08,311
I don't understand what I'm looking at.

758
00:32:08,423 --> 00:32:10,600
They're slides from Rosemary's autopsy.

759
00:32:10,827 --> 00:32:12,741
Your prosecutor, Gore Bellows-...

760
00:32:12,847 --> 00:32:15,084
his theory was that you
and your brother

761
00:32:15,121 --> 00:32:17,135
used a rock to kill Rosemary.

762
00:32:17,397 --> 00:32:19,147
These slides clearly indicate

763
00:32:19,184 --> 00:32:20,444
that the blunt force object

764
00:32:20,481 --> 00:32:22,853
used to kill Rosemary was not a rock.

765
00:32:23,612 --> 00:32:25,019
Bellows was wrong.

766
00:32:25,056 --> 00:32:26,475
How did you see that?

767
00:32:26,537 --> 00:32:29,334
Medical professionals I use
in my reinsurance practice-...

768
00:32:29,371 --> 00:32:31,475
they said it was obviously some kind

769
00:32:31,512 --> 00:32:33,196
of rusty pipe or metal object.

770
00:32:33,485 --> 00:32:34,959
- What does this mean?
- It means

771
00:32:34,996 --> 00:32:36,342
I think we have a shot of getting you

772
00:32:36,379 --> 00:32:38,201
and your brother out of prison.

773
00:32:44,198 --> 00:32:47,199
And I ain't seen you
since you was in diapers.

774
00:32:47,932 --> 00:32:49,666
They told me you were dead.

775
00:32:50,311 --> 00:32:52,189
That ain't really a lie, I guess.

776
00:32:53,194 --> 00:32:55,301
You're in here for killing a man.

777
00:32:55,545 --> 00:32:58,471
And now another man is going
to lose his life because of you.

778
00:32:58,589 --> 00:32:59,880
You hear that?

779
00:32:59,917 --> 00:33:02,060
He cares more about Davon
than he does his old man.

780
00:33:02,097 --> 00:33:03,959
Well, Davon never killed anyone.

781
00:33:05,162 --> 00:33:06,631
You did.

782
00:33:08,333 --> 00:33:10,358
She tells me you're a doctor.

783
00:33:15,131 --> 00:33:18,161
Every man in our family
been behind bars.

784
00:33:19,494 --> 00:33:21,741
It's time one of us stay free.

785
00:33:24,159 --> 00:33:27,006
Banging, dealing.

786
00:33:27,389 --> 00:33:30,850
You chose that life over your family.

787
00:33:32,865 --> 00:33:34,491
Was it worth it?

788
00:33:38,901 --> 00:33:40,817
That's what I thought.

789
00:33:42,979 --> 00:33:45,155
Goodbye, Omar.

790
00:33:50,969 --> 00:33:53,548
Goodbye, son.

791
00:34:00,518 --> 00:34:02,810
If I admit to killing that cop,

792
00:34:03,499 --> 00:34:05,474
they gonna let Davon out?

793
00:34:06,409 --> 00:34:08,910
If you testify, yes.

794
00:34:09,622 --> 00:34:11,164
Okay.

795
00:34:14,591 --> 00:34:16,674
I'll tell the truth.

796
00:34:22,129 --> 00:34:23,991
Coffee's better at AA.

797
00:34:24,748 --> 00:34:26,366
Or is it Bible study?

798
00:34:26,452 --> 00:34:28,616
Just stay away
from that sacramental wine.

799
00:34:28,670 --> 00:34:31,694
That's the best part of mass.

800
00:34:31,795 --> 00:34:33,357
What's your deal?

801
00:34:34,319 --> 00:34:36,102
What-what do you mean,
"What's my deal?"

802
00:34:36,139 --> 00:34:39,116
It's anger management,
not speed dating.

803
00:34:39,197 --> 00:34:40,397
Mm.

804
00:34:40,686 --> 00:34:43,694
Ah. Well, this coffee sucks,

805
00:34:44,019 --> 00:34:46,362
so now I want to kill someone.

806
00:34:47,279 --> 00:34:49,647
I'm kidding. I didn't...
I don't really want to...

807
00:34:51,616 --> 00:34:54,754
I don't-I don't...
I don't know what my deal is.

808
00:34:54,791 --> 00:34:56,912
Hmm. Self-discovery type.

809
00:34:57,107 --> 00:34:59,827
If this was speed dating,
I'd be into it.

810
00:35:12,631 --> 00:35:13,922
Hey, do you mind?

811
00:35:13,983 --> 00:35:15,452
Not at all.

812
00:35:34,373 --> 00:35:35,819
Wait here.

813
00:35:38,033 --> 00:35:39,467
Big O!

814
00:35:40,793 --> 00:35:42,192
Big O.

815
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,818
Omar.

816
00:35:46,982 --> 00:35:48,404
I know you, bruh?

817
00:35:49,477 --> 00:35:52,478
Hey, you know, I had to come say
something to the legend, man.

818
00:35:52,515 --> 00:35:53,640
You need a smoke?

819
00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:57,466
- Thanks, blood.
- Yeah, man.

820
00:35:58,350 --> 00:36:00,067
Well, you know, man...

821
00:36:00,201 --> 00:36:02,724
it's a real shame when a legend dies.

822
00:36:03,590 --> 00:36:07,289
- I ain't dead yet.
- Hmm.

823
00:36:12,138 --> 00:36:13,561
You know we got ears everywhere,

824
00:36:13,598 --> 00:36:15,395
you little punk-ass rat.

825
00:36:27,889 --> 00:36:29,831
They know who killed Omar?

826
00:36:30,069 --> 00:36:31,514
Not yet.

827
00:36:31,647 --> 00:36:34,670
All right, how bad is it?
The case, I mean, without Omar?

828
00:36:34,709 --> 00:36:36,414
Well, we have his sworn affidavit.

829
00:36:36,476 --> 00:36:37,647
We'll get that admitted.

830
00:36:37,684 --> 00:36:39,108
But, to be honest,

831
00:36:39,315 --> 00:36:41,952
without Omar, it could be a long shot.

832
00:36:42,336 --> 00:36:44,217
The judge might not let it in.

833
00:36:45,049 --> 00:36:48,800
I spent 4,710 days in solitary.

834
00:36:49,146 --> 00:36:50,646
I'll take a long shot.

835
00:36:51,063 --> 00:36:52,870
Can I steal you for a minute?

836
00:36:53,577 --> 00:36:55,585
Um, yeah, I, um...

837
00:36:56,670 --> 00:36:58,412
I have to get to this staff
meeting for the campaign.

838
00:36:58,449 --> 00:36:59,561
It'll just be a second.

839
00:36:59,598 --> 00:37:01,319
It's a new development,
may help with the campaign.

840
00:37:01,355 --> 00:37:03,523
- Okay.
- It's about Levi Scott.

841
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:06,134
You know that Levi took a plea.

842
00:37:06,225 --> 00:37:07,906
Community service
and anger management classes.

843
00:37:07,942 --> 00:37:08,834
I do.

844
00:37:08,871 --> 00:37:10,351
Well, the support group
he's been attending

845
00:37:10,387 --> 00:37:12,537
is pretty much one big
confidential therapy session.

846
00:37:12,608 --> 00:37:14,428
I think Levi will spill
some things that'll help,

847
00:37:14,465 --> 00:37:16,315
- if you need it.
- And you can get him to talk?

848
00:37:16,454 --> 00:37:19,381
About Madeline and
Rosemary Lynch? Of course.

849
00:37:19,444 --> 00:37:20,991
You know, I put him on the stand.

850
00:37:21,108 --> 00:37:22,285
Once he opens his mouth,

851
00:37:22,322 --> 00:37:23,839
he can't help but incriminate himself.

852
00:37:23,894 --> 00:37:25,108
My thoughts exactly.

853
00:37:25,179 --> 00:37:26,971
Unlike that sister of his.

854
00:37:27,008 --> 00:37:28,420
Listen, I got to get to this meeting.

855
00:37:28,457 --> 00:37:30,253
Uh, why don't you come along, Isabel?

856
00:37:30,358 --> 00:37:31,733
There's room for me on the train?

857
00:37:31,770 --> 00:37:32,991
You kidding?

858
00:37:33,028 --> 00:37:34,987
There's always room
for you on the train.

859
00:37:35,241 --> 00:37:37,846
Your Honor,
we have filed a motion for a new trial

860
00:37:37,914 --> 00:37:40,989
supported by a sworn affidavit
signed by Omar Blackwell,

861
00:37:41,059 --> 00:37:43,405
who states that he's the one
who killed Detective Sampson.

862
00:37:43,506 --> 00:37:45,744
We'll put this case on for a hearing

863
00:37:45,781 --> 00:37:47,248
and Mr. Blackwell can come in

864
00:37:47,285 --> 00:37:49,644
and testify to the contents
of his affidavit.

865
00:37:49,802 --> 00:37:51,307
He's at the morgue, Your Honor.

866
00:37:52,185 --> 00:37:54,352
He was shanked yesterday
for confessing.

867
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,530
In light of his sworn affidavit,

868
00:37:56,567 --> 00:37:58,359
and pursuant to
Chambers v. Mississippi,

869
00:37:58,396 --> 00:37:59,711
we move for a new trial.

870
00:37:59,780 --> 00:38:01,155
This is a statement against interest,

871
00:38:01,192 --> 00:38:04,085
it clearly exposes Mr. Blackwell
to criminal liability.

872
00:38:04,122 --> 00:38:06,897
That is not enough to satisfy
your burden of proof, Ms. Scott.

873
00:38:06,934 --> 00:38:08,084
- Your Honor...
- Furthermore,

874
00:38:08,121 --> 00:38:10,670
Omar Blackwell was already
facing a death sentence.

875
00:38:10,707 --> 00:38:12,348
- What's one more?
- Your Honor,

876
00:38:12,410 --> 00:38:14,560
you have a signed confession
in your hand.

877
00:38:14,780 --> 00:38:16,600
Davon Watkins was denied

878
00:38:16,637 --> 00:38:19,062
his freedom for being in the
wrong place at the wrong time.

879
00:38:19,367 --> 00:38:21,183
He's been mistreated
by the justice system

880
00:38:21,220 --> 00:38:22,869
and he's going to die because of it.

881
00:38:23,717 --> 00:38:25,149
Yeah, the rest of us have the luxury

882
00:38:25,186 --> 00:38:26,405
of going home tonight and not

883
00:38:26,442 --> 00:38:28,456
counting down the days until we die.

884
00:38:29,133 --> 00:38:32,301
Davon Watkins? He's counting.

885
00:38:32,495 --> 00:38:34,819
And that number gets shorter every day.

886
00:38:35,954 --> 00:38:39,803
So, please, with everything
that has been presented to you,

887
00:38:40,339 --> 00:38:42,522
do you not have even
the slightest doubt?

888
00:38:42,577 --> 00:38:45,070
Your client was convicted by a jury.

889
00:38:45,678 --> 00:38:48,988
Their verdict was upheld
on appeal six times.

890
00:38:50,056 --> 00:38:52,006
Finality is a fundamental value

891
00:38:52,043 --> 00:38:53,826
of the criminal justice system,
Ms. Scott.

892
00:38:53,863 --> 00:38:56,081
So is innocence, Your Honor.

893
00:39:02,685 --> 00:39:04,640
All right, Ms. Scott.

894
00:39:06,130 --> 00:39:07,897
I will grant Davon Watkins

895
00:39:07,934 --> 00:39:09,350
a stay of execution

896
00:39:09,387 --> 00:39:10,961
so that you may have enough time

897
00:39:10,998 --> 00:39:13,272
to gather evidence
to establish the credibility

898
00:39:13,309 --> 00:39:15,192
of Mr. Blackwell's confession.

899
00:39:15,674 --> 00:39:17,907
Let's re-calendar for six months.

900
00:39:21,142 --> 00:39:22,758
Mm...

901
00:39:24,097 --> 00:39:25,288
Imagine

902
00:39:25,325 --> 00:39:27,495
that you are in a boxing ring.

903
00:39:27,928 --> 00:39:31,889
Your opponent is the
U.S. criminal justice system.

904
00:39:32,373 --> 00:39:34,553
Now imagine that match

905
00:39:34,590 --> 00:39:36,290
lasting 20 years

906
00:39:36,327 --> 00:39:38,499
because that's how long it takes

907
00:39:38,631 --> 00:39:42,374
for a death row inmate
to exhaust all of their appeals.

908
00:39:42,639 --> 00:39:45,366
Each appeal is like another round.

909
00:39:45,631 --> 00:39:48,505
It's another chance at freedom.

910
00:39:48,725 --> 00:39:50,618
But it's also a reminder

911
00:39:50,655 --> 00:39:53,905
that you are running out of chances

912
00:39:54,104 --> 00:39:55,729
and time.

913
00:39:57,561 --> 00:39:59,580
Uh, a-a stay of execution-...

914
00:39:59,617 --> 00:40:01,216
what-what does that mean, really?

915
00:40:01,373 --> 00:40:03,748
It means your execution's
been deferred.

916
00:40:04,045 --> 00:40:05,816
We didn't get you out just yet,

917
00:40:05,900 --> 00:40:08,358
but keeping you alive means we can.

918
00:40:08,561 --> 00:40:10,867
I know it's not what
you wanted to hear,

919
00:40:10,984 --> 00:40:12,953
but it does buy us time to find

920
00:40:12,990 --> 00:40:15,420
some good Ohio lawyers
and investigators

921
00:40:15,457 --> 00:40:17,827
so we can build a case against Troy D.

922
00:40:17,975 --> 00:40:19,951
And we'll keep tabs on you, Davon.

923
00:40:20,092 --> 00:40:21,921
All right, if you need anything,

924
00:40:21,958 --> 00:40:24,024
we're just a phone call away.

925
00:40:24,795 --> 00:40:26,242
Thank you.

926
00:40:28,616 --> 00:40:32,561
For real... thank you.

927
00:40:39,670 --> 00:40:42,659
We saved an innocent man's life today,

928
00:40:43,523 --> 00:40:46,395
but Davon is still in prison.

929
00:40:46,524 --> 00:40:48,928
Do the right thing! Free Davon!

930
00:40:48,965 --> 00:40:50,631
Do the right thing!

931
00:40:50,668 --> 00:40:52,616
Free Davon! Do the right thing!

932
00:40:52,678 --> 00:40:54,952
So we don't stop fighting.

933
00:40:55,030 --> 00:40:57,709
We make phone calls to the
Ohio governor's office,

934
00:40:57,775 --> 00:41:00,787
file a clemency application
with the Ohio Parole Board,

935
00:41:00,842 --> 00:41:04,405
because Davon's life, his freedom,

936
00:41:04,442 --> 00:41:06,350
are in our hands.

937
00:41:06,387 --> 00:41:08,444
All of our hands.

938
00:41:17,097 --> 00:41:18,937
It takes them two
seconds to lock someone up,

939
00:41:18,973 --> 00:41:21,191
but an eternity to admit they're wrong.

940
00:41:21,327 --> 00:41:23,404
Stay of execution is a good thing.

941
00:41:23,944 --> 00:41:26,561
Davon should've been exonerated.
He should be going home.

942
00:41:26,686 --> 00:41:28,491
That doesn't mean he won't be,
eventually.

943
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,936
You gave him hope, Maddie.

944
00:41:31,044 --> 00:41:32,848
That is a powerful thing.

945
00:41:36,314 --> 00:41:38,678
Levi says I have a hero complex.

946
00:41:38,907 --> 00:41:41,327
That unless I'm saving someone,
mainly him,

947
00:41:41,364 --> 00:41:43,672
- I don't feel right.
- Sounds accurate.

948
00:41:43,709 --> 00:41:45,395
- Yes, absolutely true.
- Yeah, I agree.

949
00:41:45,483 --> 00:41:48,456
But that's not a bad thing.

950
00:41:49,912 --> 00:41:51,459
Got to get home.

951
00:41:51,782 --> 00:41:53,936
I actually have a date tonight.

952
00:41:54,530 --> 00:41:55,946
- You do?
- Mm-hmm.

953
00:41:55,983 --> 00:41:57,254
I got sword class.

954
00:41:57,291 --> 00:41:59,182
Talk about a hero complex.

955
00:41:59,238 --> 00:42:01,722
- Of course he has sword class.
- Hmm.

956
00:42:03,497 --> 00:42:05,888
My hero.

957
00:42:15,795 --> 00:42:17,262
We got a court date.

958
00:42:18,822 --> 00:42:22,191
My lawyer thinks that he can
prove that we're innocent,

959
00:42:22,325 --> 00:42:25,518
or at least vacate our convictions.

960
00:42:26,728 --> 00:42:29,588
This time next week,
I could be going home.

961
00:42:38,277 --> 00:42:40,381
I'm so sorry, baby.

962
00:42:41,196 --> 00:42:42,637
I don't want to leave you.

963
00:42:42,702 --> 00:42:44,644
I don't know how I could.

964
00:42:47,478 --> 00:42:50,944
You're the only person
who's ever made me feel safe.

965
00:42:51,867 --> 00:42:53,524
Please don't be sad.

966
00:42:53,889 --> 00:42:55,401
I'm not sad, dummy.
