06:50No, we're still waiting on Tess's prognosis.
07:11Ah, Amanda just got here.
07:13We'll call you back, okay?
07:15That is your husband worried about Tess.
07:17He's going to be worried about both those girls
07:19until they're married with kids.
07:20Dr. Sloan, how's Tess Milburn?
07:23Stable, at least for now.
07:25She had fentanyl and benzos in her system.
07:27Okay, I know this is premature,
07:29but in the estimate of when she might be discharged,
07:31she's on a witness list for a pending trial.
07:34Detox from benzos, pretty grueling.
07:36Next few days ought to be telling.
07:38Well, we don't want to make things worse,
07:41but we do need to talk to her.
07:43She'll be out of it,
07:44but I don't see any reason why you couldn't try.
07:46Okay.
07:50Tess?
07:52Who are you?
07:53I were with the NYPD.
07:55We were there that day outside the deli.
07:57What happened to you was horrific.
08:00We want to help you.
08:02You want to help me?
08:03Well, take me home.
08:04To Utah.
08:05Your mom and dad are very worried about you,
08:07and they're on their way here.
08:09No, I don't want them to see me like this.
08:10I need to go home.
08:12You mean to that place in Trenton?
08:14I need to go back.
08:15Yeah, no, no, no.
08:16We, uh, we can't do that.
08:18How did you even find me?
08:19Well, what matters, Tess, is that we did find you.
08:22And you're safe now.
08:24Mm.
08:24It doesn't feel like it.
08:28Okay.
08:29So why don't we let you rest?
08:32Come back later.
08:37Where is Marquis Walls?
08:38Marquis Walls arrested him for possession.
08:40But one of his crew bailed him out.
08:41Well, Tess is in a rush to get back to him.
08:43Yeah, that's the drugs talk.
08:44Yeah, and we have to watch her until she's detoxed.
08:47Well, we can't cuff her to the bed, right?
08:49No, so we're going to have to put a uni outside her door.
08:53You know what?
08:54I'll do it.
08:58Velasco, are you sure?
08:59Captain, I was there at the deli.
09:02I'll never forget that scream.
09:06Look, I know Tess has been through hell,
09:08but when do you think she's going to be able to testify?
09:10Well, I mean, it's hard to say.
09:12She's in the early stages of withdrawal.
09:14She can barely think clearly right now,
09:16let alone do trial prep.
09:17Well, how soon can we get her detoxed?
09:20Well, there are a couple of treatments
09:21that may help accelerate things,
09:23but then we have to get her to agree.
09:25I'm not entirely selfish.
09:26I do want to clean for her own health,
09:28but testifying in court,
09:30it could be the North Star that helps to navigate all this.
09:32Whether or not Mosley gets convicted of her assault.
09:34Well, speaking of which, I'm doing the courthouse.
09:37For?
09:38Broke, I word for Mosley's defense team.
09:41Looks like they're trying to exclude my testimony.
09:44And if you're successful with this motion,
09:46we're going to need Tess more than ever.
09:48Just keep working on it.
09:49Mr. Vaughn, you're filing a motion
09:56to exclude ADA Carisi's testimony
09:58in the case of the People v. Deontay Mosley?
10:01We are, Your Honor.
10:02This is ridiculous.
10:03On what possible grounds?
10:04That's what we're here for.
10:05I intend to show legitimate legal grounds.
10:08Mr. Carisi is the key witness in this case.
10:11Defense is wasting the court's time.
10:12That's for me to decide, Ms. Rourke.
10:14Mr. Vaughn, continue.
10:15We believe that as a prominent ADA
10:18in the Manhattan court system,
10:19Mr. Carisi's testimony will unduly prejudice
10:22the jury against my client.
10:23He was the victim here.
10:24And no one's contesting that.
10:26But we'd argue that his position
10:28will carry on due weight with the jury.
10:35Hey, how'd it go in court?
10:36Good.
10:37The judge denied Vaughn's motion
10:38to exclude me as a witness.
10:39Well, that's good news.
10:40I'm here to see Tess.
10:40How's she doing?
10:41Her blood pressure dropped.
10:43The doctor's in with her now.
10:44Tess Milburn.
10:44I don't want to see her right now.
10:46I'm sorry, sir.
10:47That's not possible.
10:47Stop lying.
10:48Where's Tess Milburn?
10:50Right now.
10:50Come on.
10:51Type it in.
10:51Yo, yo, yo.
10:52Hey, hey.
10:52Yo, don't touch me, bro.
10:53Let's go take a walk.
10:54I'm here to see my girlfriend.
10:54I understand.
10:55Let's go talk outside.
10:56Come on.
10:57That guy's not going to quit.
10:58Yeah, I don't need her money.
10:59She's seizing.
11:00I need some help.
11:06I have no pulse.
11:09I'll see your level's dropping.
11:14Claire.
11:14Still no pulse.
11:19Clear.
11:23Starting compression.
11:29Milligram of happy.
11:32Clear.
11:32Sinus rhythm.
11:43She's back.
11:47Is she going to be all right?
11:48She's young.
11:49Strong heart.
11:50We've got that in our favor.
11:51So what next?
11:52We'll keep a close eye on her, but I think we're past the worst.
11:57Thank you, doctor.
11:58You done for the day?
12:01Uh, I'll see you at home.
12:03I gotta, I gotta make a quick stop.
12:04Hey, can I sit down?
12:20I'm all crazy.
12:20I'm eating.
12:21I didn't see that.
12:21I just gotta, I gotta tell you something.
12:22I couldn't wait till tomorrow.
12:24Look, Tess Milburn had a close call today.
12:28But she's gonna be, she's gonna be able to testify.
12:31Well, that is very nice to hear, but I told you the rape is our weakest charge.
12:35Well, let's see how a jury feels when they hear how I watched Deontay Mosley casually eat a bag of potato chips while Tess was raped a few feet away.
12:42Okay.
12:42Huh?
12:44Look, just, just tell me that you'll talk to her, that you'll, you'll get her side of the story.
12:50Fine, if it will get you off my back.
12:53I also have some thoughts about your voir dire.
12:55Fine, please.
12:57I have one, dear.
12:59When you're interviewing potential female jurors, just make sure you ask them about their experience with sexual assault.
13:07Oh, that was it?
13:08That's it.
13:09You happy?
13:10Yeah, it will be when Deontay Mosley's in prison.
13:12Ron seems to think you have a personal vendetta against this kid.
13:18Maybe I do.
13:19What's that about?
13:20The guns.
13:21The guns?
13:22I've been thinking about it.
13:23Boyd Lynch only got out of prison a few hours before he committed that robbery, and yet, somehow, magically, he winds up with a gun?
13:29How did that happen?
13:31Deontay Mosley?
13:32Boyd didn't get him in prison.
13:34Deontay brought those guns.
13:36Deontay gave him one.
13:37Therefore, everything that happened in that deli's on him.
13:45Go home.
13:47Start thinking about your testimony, courtesy.
13:49And, hey, if you have any professional respect for me at all as a prosecutor, please stay away from the courthouse until I need you for prep.
13:58Good sign.
14:08You got your appetite back?
14:09You gave us quite a scare.
14:11Sorry.
14:11No, please.
14:12It's part of the job.
14:14About that.
14:15You had a visitor last night.
14:18Marquis?
14:19Yeah.
14:20I'm assuming that you know that he has a criminal record.
14:24I obviously know he sells drugs.
14:27Did you know he has a record for robbery, the first degree?
14:31So, last year, he robbed a couple at gunpoint.
14:36Why isn't he in jail, then?
14:38Well, the victims decided not to testify, so the case got dropped.
14:41So, nobody knows what you went through in that cooler.
14:51You're right.
14:52You don't.
14:54Maybe it would help to get it out.
14:57You know, pain like that, it only gets worse unless you do something about it.
15:04Like what?
15:04The guy you're really mad at is dead.
15:10But you can face his accomplice on the stand.
15:15Deontay mostly, but he didn't rape me.
15:17Deontay had a gun.
15:18He could stop Boyd at any time.
15:20And he chose not to until it suited him.
15:26What do I have to do?
15:27Tell your story on the stand.
15:30Along with Elizabeth and my husband.
15:33You know, and if the three of you stick together like you did in that deli,
15:38maybe all three of you can take your power back.
15:55Counselor Rourke.
15:57Captain.
15:58Ready to prep your testimony?
15:59I am.
16:00I also wanted to thank you.
16:02For?
16:03For going ahead with the rape charge.
16:06My bosses aren't thrilled, but I prep test this morning and she's a compelling witness.
16:12Before you get your hopes up, a conviction on the rape charge isn't just a long shot,
16:16it's a moonshot.
16:18I understand.
16:25Ready?
16:25Captain Benson, can you tell the jury what you saw when you arrived at the deli on the corner of Madison and James on the day in question?
16:34I saw ADA Carisi through the glass of the locked door and I saw a look on his face that I'd never seen before.
16:43What look was that?
16:44What look was that?
16:44What look was that?
16:44Genuine fear.
16:47I immediately got in a car headed down to the scene, so I was listening to the whole thing on my radio.
16:54What did you hear?
16:55There was an armed robbery that was in progress that had turned into a hostage situation.
16:59Two male perpetrators, including the defendant.
17:02Who were the hostages?
17:04The deli clerk, Ali Imran, and two young women, Elizabeth Alden, Tess Milburn, and ADA Carisi.
17:12What else did you hear?
17:19A gunshot.
17:20At first there was no information on who had even been hit.
17:24And what did that make you think?
17:25I thought my husband had been killed.
17:32Are you okay?
17:33I'm...
17:34I can give you space if you want privacy.
17:35No, no, no, I'm just...
17:36I'm sorry.
17:37I just don't...
17:38Sarah, that whole day...
17:39I'm sorry.
17:40I'm sorry.
17:41I'm sorry.
17:42I'm sorry.
17:43I'm sorry.
17:44I'm sorry.
17:45I'm sorry.
17:46I'm sorry.
17:47I'm sorry.
17:48I'm sorry.
17:49I'm sorry.
17:50I'm sorry.
17:51I'm sorry.
17:52I'm sorry.
17:53I'm sorry.
17:54So that whole day...
17:56I wasn't sure if I was going to see...
18:00See my husband again, and uh...
18:03I'm not sure that, that I have yet.
18:06Part of him is still trapped in that deli.
18:10He's not going to be free until you win this case.
18:15I will try my best, Sergeant Rollins.
18:21Though I'm not on the stand.
18:28I need to be strong for him.
18:38Did you or did you not tell my client that shooting Boydlin should be considered an act of self-defense in the eyes of the law?
18:45Yes.
18:45And seeing as you're an acting ADA, my client, a young black man with little to no education, took you at your work.
18:51Come on, his skin color, really? You think Vaughn's going to try to play the race card?
18:54Yes, I do. So I'm going to ask you again.
18:56You must have known my client would take your advice as an expert on the law and shoot his accomplice.
19:10There you are. How'd it go?
19:13It's fine.
19:15It was fine? Really?
19:16Well, it's a little worried that Vaughn's going to try to rattle me until I, you know, blow my stack.
19:23How do you feel about that?
19:25He can try all he wants. I'm going to stay calm and collected.
19:29Well, I'm glad to hear that.
19:31Because, you know, we really need to win this case.
19:36Not just for Tess and Elizabeth, but for you.
19:44Look, I know you don't like to hear this.
19:49But you're a victim, too, in all this.
19:51Hey, Tess.
20:07How you feeling?
20:09Good.
20:10I finally talked to Elizabeth and apologized for stealing her laptop.
20:14Good. Congratulations. That must feel good.
20:16Right.
20:16She says I might even be able to stay at her place until I get on my feet.
20:19That's a good option.
20:20Yeah.
20:21After the trial.
20:22I don't understand.
20:24Well, you know, Elizabeth is testifying today.
20:27And so, until you're called, we just want to make sure you're safe.
20:30So, we got you a hotel room.
20:32Okay.
20:33And NYPD is lending you a new phone.
20:37I don't know how to thank you.
20:38You already have.
20:39By testifying.
20:41So, Detective Velasco is going to drive you to your hotel.
20:44And then he's going to wait there.
20:45And then drive you to the courthouse.
20:47Okay?
20:48That's us.
20:49You ready?
20:50I guess so.
20:52Yeah.
20:53Hey, you're going to do great.
20:54Okay?
20:55So, you know, we're all looking out for you.
20:57I'm confident that after hearing all the evidence and the testimony of the witnesses, we will
21:09have proven to each and every one of you beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant, Deontay
21:13Mosley, is guilty of four counts of armed robbery, and guilty by accomplice liability of the second-degree murder of Ali Imran, rape in the first of Tess Milburn, and murder in the second of Boyd Lynch, his partner in this horrific crime.
21:33Mr. Vaughn?
21:33Yeah, she's great.
21:34She's from Velasco.
21:36Thank you, Your Honor.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, there is one thing the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
21:48Intent.
21:49The truth is, it was never Deontay Mosley's intent to commit any of those crimes.
21:56The facts will show that Deontay's only true intent was to end a hostage standoff without further loss of life by shooting Boyd Lynch in defense of others.
22:08And thank God he did.
22:11Deontay Mosley should be hailed a hero, now prosecuted of the insistence of some vengeful ADA.
22:17Now, ladies and gentlemen, I can't blame ADA Carisi for feeling vengeful.
22:24But vengeance should never inform the rule of law.
22:35After the clerk, Ali Imran, was shot, our hostage response team was able to install a fibroscope camera into the rear wall through a small gap in the venting.
22:46And what did you see?
22:48We saw two armed perpetrators.
22:50One was later identified as Boyd Lynch and the other Deontay Mosley.
22:55And where were the hostages at this time?
22:57They were in a walk-in cooler and we were able to establish contact through Tess Milburn's smartwatch, which was later confiscated.
23:06What happened to Tess after you discovered this smartwatch?
23:10Boyd dragged Tess back into the cooler and we found out that she was sexually assaulted.
23:16Where was Deontay Mosley during this assault?
23:19From what I saw on the monitor, he stayed in the main area of the deli.
23:24Did he do anything to intervene?
23:26No.
23:27Anything at all?
23:27He did nothing.
23:28Thank you, Captain.
23:35Captain Benson, you said the first time you saw Deontay Mosley in the deli was on the fibroscope monitor.
23:43Yes.
23:44Roughly an hour into the situation, is that accurate?
23:46Yes, and I saw that he was clearly armed.
23:49Did you see how he got the gun or when?
23:52No.
23:52Now, did you see anything at all that happened the minutes before Deontay and Boyd entered the deli?
23:56All that I know was disclosed to me by the three victims.
24:01I know that Deontay Mosley was armed and that he had ample opportunity to intervene in the murder of Ali Imran and the rape of Tess Milburn.
24:11And he chose to do nothing.
24:13But you have no direct knowledge to counter my client's version of events.
24:18From what I heard and what I saw, Deontay Mosley was armed and he seemed to be an active participant.
24:24Seemed to be?
24:26You have no knowledge whether Deontay himself was under duress or threatened by Boyd.
24:34No.
24:38Nothing further.
24:39That morning, Tess and I had been out for a walk along the river.
24:46We went into the deli to get something cold to drink.
24:50And what happened?
24:51We were at the counter, paying when two armed men came in.
24:55Was one of those men the defendant?
24:58Yes.
25:00Deontay Mosley.
25:01And then what happened next?
25:03His accomplice, Boyd, demanded we use our ATM cards to take out cash.
25:08And where was Deontay during this time?
25:10Holding a gun on the clerk, Ali.
25:12And what did he do when Mr. Carisi came in?
25:16Deontay pointed his gun at him and took his cell phone, his wallet, and his wedding ring.
25:23Thank you, Elizabeth.
25:28Ms. Alden, I, uh, I'm sorry for what you went through.
25:32I really am.
25:33But did Deontay Mosley ever threaten you directly?
25:43No.
25:44Did he ever touch you?
25:46Look at you with menace?
25:49No, but he did have a gun.
25:51But you could tell that he was not the one in charge, couldn't you?
25:54You're under oath, Zaldin.
25:59It's a simple question.
26:02Did my client ever give any of the orders?
26:08I guess not.
26:09No.
26:11The fact it was Boyd Lynch that made all the decisions, wasn't it?
26:16Yes.
26:23Nothing further.
26:27Ms. Rourke, your next witness.
26:36Tess!
26:38Tess, open up.
26:39We're doing court.
26:41Where the hell is Tess Milberg?
26:42We're trying to get in touch with her now.
26:44So Tess isn't answering.
26:45I had Velasco get security to open up the doors.
26:47I thought you had her someplace safe.
26:49I'm gonna have to ask the judge for a continuance.
26:51Maybe I should go to the hotel.
26:52I'll help Velasco.
26:53Oh, no.
26:53You're not going anywhere.
26:54If Tess is a no-show, you're all I've got.
26:56Captain, I've got a problem.
27:17Man, what the hell are you doing, man?
27:25Where's Tess?
27:26I don't know where the hell she is, man.
27:28I'm telling you.
27:29Thank you, Rourke.
27:30There's nobody up in here, man.
27:33You're telling the truth.
27:34She's not here.
27:36Who else did she buy from?
27:37Come on, there.
27:39This is a lot of folks, bro.
27:40Tess Milburn.
28:00Sarge.
28:02She's over here.
28:04I didn't do it.
28:16I wanted to.
28:18Why, Tess?
28:21I can't face that guy in court.
28:25Okay, we're gonna get you to help you need.
28:28But there's a lot of people that need to hear every word you have to say.
28:32We're gonna be with you the whole time.
28:33Okay?
28:45Boyd ran his hands over my body.
28:48That's when he found my smartwatch hidden in my jacket pocket.
28:52And where was Deontay?
28:55Watching.
28:56Doing nothing.
28:57What did Boyd do next?
28:59I think he wanted to punish me.
29:01He dragged me into the cooler.
29:04Did Mr. Mosley do anything to intervene at that point?
29:09No.
29:10ADA Carisi tried, but Boyd hit him in the head with his gun.
29:15Did Deontay do anything at that point?
29:17Deontay just watched as Boyd dragged me to the cooler and locked it.
29:22I know this is hard to relive, Tess.
29:26But could you tell the jury what happened to you once you were inside the cooler?
29:35Boyd pulled down my yoga pants.
29:38He made me take off all my clothes.
29:43And then he made me get down on my knees.
29:48He unzipped his pants.
29:51And he forced himself into my mouth.
29:57I'm so sorry.
29:59What happened after that?
30:01When he was ready, he turned me around.
30:08He bit me over.
30:09He raped me.
30:15How long were you in the cooler with Mr. Lynch?
30:19It felt like forever.
30:21According to the Fiberscope video, you were in the cooler for approximately 40 minutes.
30:25Does that sound right?
30:26Yes.
30:28And during that whole time, 40 minutes, Deontay never came near the cooler to intercede on your behalf, did he?
30:42No.
30:46Nothing further.
30:49Mr. Vaughn.
30:53No questions, Your Honor.
30:54Let me step down.
31:09Ms. Vork?
31:10We call ADA Carisi.
31:17I pushed my way back into the deli so that the two perpetrators could not take an NYPD captain as collateral.
31:23And then what happened?
31:24He was off to the side.
31:25He also had a gun in his hand.
31:28He exchanged a few words with Boyd, and then he turned to me, and he asked if it would be considered self-defense if he shot him.
31:34And what did you say?
31:36I said, if you're acting in the defense of others, you better believe that self-defense.
31:40And what did Deontay Mosley do?
31:43He shot his partner, Boyd Lynch, killing him.
31:45To negate his accomplice liability for the entire day.
31:48Objection.
31:49Speculation.
31:50Sustained.
31:50The jury will disregard.
31:53Nothing further.
31:53Mr. Carisi, you just admitted telling my client that shooting Boyd Lynch would be an act of self-defense.
32:03Well, I did what I had to do to protect the lives of Elizabeth Alden and myself, yeah.
32:08Well, you were successful.
32:09Yes, they had guns.
32:10I had words.
32:11I used what was available to me.
32:13So it is your contention that you did the right thing at the end of the day?
32:17Absolutely.
32:18Wouldn't you consider that my client did, too?
32:22What your client did, uh, that was not self-defense.
32:26That was self-preservation.
32:27If my client hadn't killed Boyd Lynch, do you think you'd still be alive today, Mr. Carisi?
32:38Maybe.
32:38Maybe not.
32:40Did Boyd Lynch take a shot at your head?
32:42Yes, when we were fighting for control of his gun.
32:44Maybe your real anger is at yourself.
32:46Myself?
32:47For unnecessarily escalating a situation, forcing yourself back in the deli right after Boyd Lynch was about to set you free.
32:53And leave an NYPD captain?
32:55My former boss, one of my closest friends in the hands of a murderer and a rapist?
32:59Is that what you would do?
33:00Are you always that hot-headed, Mr. Carisi?
33:02Objection.
33:04Withdrawn.
33:06Nothing further.
33:06The witness may step down.
33:21Wipe that smile off your face.
33:23Your Honor!
33:23You know what happened in that deli and so do I, you son of a bitch!
33:26Mr. Carisi!
33:26I saw you, Deontay!
33:28I saw you!
33:29Mr. Carisi, stop now or I'll hold you in contempt.
33:33Jury will disregard.
33:34Mr. Carisi, you're excused.
33:54I'm sorry.
33:55What the hell was that?
33:56I don't know.
33:57All right, one minute I'm in a courtroom and then I see Deontay smile at me and it's like I'm right back in that deli.
34:02I lost it.
34:05Yeah, that's an understatement.
34:07Goes without saying I'm not going to redirect you.
34:09What do we do now?
34:11There is no we.
34:12You're acting like we're partners and we're not.
34:22Hey.
34:25Hey.
34:27Now what?
34:28I'm not losing this case.
34:40I am not losing this case.
34:46One thing I know about Deontay is he is a follow-up.
34:51First it was Boyd, then it was Vaughn.
34:55So what are the chances he's been in Rikers for the past six months without someone to tell him what to do?
35:03I let Deontay get into my head.
35:06We got to find a way to get into his.
35:07So who is this guy?
35:13Jay Goldstein.
35:14He's a fake lawyer awaiting a murder trial for poisoning his mother with antifreeze.
35:19Antifreeze, huh?
35:19Carisi thinks he can help us?
35:21Yeah, before Vaughn came along, Deontay was working his case with this guy.
35:24Well, Goldstein's not a real lawyer, so there's no attorney-client privilege.
35:28He's willing to talk to us.
35:29Oh, yeah.
35:29He didn't even ask him for anything.
35:31I guess he took offense to being ditched for Vaughn.
35:35Mr. Goldstein.
35:36Yes.
35:37Thank you for meeting with us.
35:40Happy to help.
35:46Ms. Rourke, are you planning on recalling ADA Carisi?
35:50Not at this time, Your Honor.
35:52Prosecution rests.
35:54Mr. Vaughn, you may call your first witness.
35:58Your Honor, we call Deontay Mosley.
36:00Boyd first saw Elizabeth Alden and Tess Milburn crossing towards the deli when we was walking up the other side of the street.
36:11And what did Boyd say?
36:14He thought they looked pretty.
36:16Might have ATM cards.
36:17See, Boyd just got out of prison.
36:20He was looking to party.
36:22And what did he do?
36:23He pulled out two guns.
36:25And he told me I had a choice to make as his ride or die.
36:29And what did he mean by that?
36:34That if I didn't ride with him at that moment, he would shoot me.
36:38So, Boyd Lynch threatened you, coerced you.
36:43Him being my cell man is a big part of why I stayed safe when I first went to prison at 19.
36:50No one messed with him in there.
36:52He was crazy.
36:55Nothing further.
36:56So, it's your contention you were afraid of Boyd Lynch, right?
37:08Yeah.
37:09Like I said, he forced me.
37:11I was under...
37:14duress.
37:15He pointed a gun at me.
37:19Out of curiosity, where did Boyd get the guns?
37:22Where did he get them?
37:27You said he'd just gotten out of prison.
37:29I'm assuming he didn't get them there.
37:31So, you must have brought them to him, didn't you?
37:35Objection.
37:36Speculation.
37:37Withdrawn.
37:39We heard earlier testimony that Boyd Lynch was in the deli's walk-in cooler with Tess Milburn for 40 minutes?
37:46Yeah, I guess.
37:47And you were armed the whole time?
37:49Yeah.
37:50And you knew the police were right outside?
37:53Yeah, so?
37:54So, the question I have for you is, if you were so afraid of Boyd, why didn't you just walk out of that deli when you had the chance?
38:08Nothing further.
38:16So, Mr. Goldstein was Deontay's unofficial jailhouse counsel?
38:19He was helping him with this case until Vaughn came along.
38:22Deontay told him the real reason he shot Boyd.
38:25And he's willing to testify?
38:26To everything.
38:27I don't know if the judge will allow it at this point.
38:29Okay, look, this is your chance to win this case.
38:32You got this.
38:32Would you mind stating your name, sir?
38:40J. Marcus Goldstein.
38:41Mr. Goldstein, would you tell the jury what your relationship is to Deontay Mosley?
38:45Yes, I advised Deontay about his case for about two months before he found this, uh, Mr. Vaughn here.
38:52Did Deontay talk to you about his potential self-defense plea?
38:56He wouldn't shut up about it.
38:57Then Vaughn comes along, he bolsters that line of crap.
39:00Your Honor, are we really going to take the word of a man who murdered his own mother over my clients?
39:05I've already allowed this witness, Mr. Vaughn.
39:07You'll have your chance to cross.
39:10Ms. Roark, continue.
39:10What did he tell you exactly?
39:15The truth.
39:16The only reason why he whacked Boyd was so he couldn't testify against it.
39:20Mr. Goldstein, did Deontay Mosley tell you that he knew his former cellmate Boyd Lynch was a convicted rapist?
39:26Yes, it didn't seem to matter to him.
39:27In all your talks with him, what did matter to Deontay Mosley?
39:31The only thing that matters to Deontay Mosley is Deontay Mosley.
39:40Members of the jury, have you reached a verdict?
39:47We have, Your Honor.
39:49On the four counts of armed robbery, we find the defendant guilty.
39:53Murder in the second of Ali Imran, we find the defendant guilty.
39:58Murder in the second degree of Boyd Lynch, guilty.
40:01On the charge of rape in the first of Tess Milburn, we find the defendant not guilty.
40:07Members of the jury, the state of New York thanks you for your service.
40:17You should have taken that deal.
40:28Head back to Brooklyn?
40:29Unless you want to share your office.
40:31Why, like partners?
40:33I'll tell you what, if you ever want to move to Manhattan, I'll put on a good word.
40:37I'll let you know.
40:38You know, this isn't what you wanted.
40:40Well, actually, I'm, I'm okay.
40:43To be honest, I never thought I could sit in that, in that witness box.
40:47And that part's over now.
40:48Deontay's gonna be in prison for the rest of his life.
40:50Thanks to your husband.
40:52Neither one of us would have survived without him.
40:57Yes, I, uh, I wish I could have, um...
41:22She seems like she's gonna be okay.
41:24She made the decision to move on.
41:26Maybe it's, it's time you did, too.
41:35I think you already have.
41:37You, too.
41:38I'll be right back.
41:43I'm not going to hear she'll be okay.
41:44I'll be right back.
41:45Good luck.
41:46How can I be okay?
41:47Yeah.
41:48esper for now.
41:48Thank you just aüss.
41:49I Ronald's the only one.
41:49He wants to move on.
41:51I win.
41:51I'm happy.
41:54I win.
41:54I want to be okay.
41:56I do.
41:57I get my seats.
41:58I find the seat.
42:00I'm happy.
42:00I know.
42:01I know.
42:02I do.
42:04I want to move on.
