[00:05]	Thanks for picking me up from work.
[00:08]	No problem.
[00:10]	Do me a favor, little brother.
[00:12]	Pull over up there. I need to cash my paycheck.
[00:14]	You think it’s still open? It’s kind of late.
[00:16]	Trust me, it’s open.
[00:18]	Just pull over.
[00:19]	And wait in the car.
[00:45]	Just drive, man. Just go.
[00:48]	What are you doing? Go fast.
[00:57]	You okay?
[00:58]	Just drive, man.
[01:00]	Just drive.
[01:04]	_
[01:06]	_
[01:10]	Dad, these expire today.
[01:15]	It’s fine, honey.
[01:18]	Come on.
[01:19]	I wouldn’t feed you spoiled meat.
[01:21]	Mom told me you used to cut mold off food and eat around it.
[01:24]	Well, maybe when I was a kid.
[01:26]	And I turned out okay, didn’t I?
[01:31]	Kristen, the door!
[01:40]	Afternoon, ma’am.
[01:42]	We’re looking for George Brown.
[01:43]	I think you must have the wrong house.
[01:45]	Nobody named George Brown lives here.
[01:48]	George Brown?
[01:50]	Are you addressing me?
[01:52]	My name’s James Grayson.
[01:54]	Yeah, I’m sure you’re right, Mr. Grayson.
[01:56]	Mix-ups happen all the time. Could I trouble you
[01:57]	to come down to the local police station with us
[01:59]	so we can clear this up?
[02:01]	I was barbecuing out back.
[02:03]	– I mean, is this important? – Actually, we have
[02:06]	an arrest warrant for George Brown
[02:08]	for a murder in Staten Island.
[02:10]	Thing is, all the authorities involved think he lives here.
[02:13]	I think they think he’s you.
[02:14]	Pretty sure you’re gonna want to come with us and clear this up.
[02:17]	Look, I-I don’t know what’s going on,
[02:19]	but he’s not George Brown.
[02:20]	He’s Jim Grayson. James Grayson.
[02:22]	Ma’am, I’d like you to lower your voice and back up.
[02:28]	Mr. Grayson, you have a nice family here.
[02:31]	You live in a nice neighborhood.
[02:33]	Don’t make me come back with sirens and lights and…
[02:35]	Let’s just clear this up.
[02:38]	Are you sure they know
[02:40]	we’re just here to file a motion?
[02:41]	We’ve been sitting here over an hour.
[02:42]	Yeah, I’ve spoken to everybody.
[02:44]	They all know why we’re here.
[02:46]	The next arraignment is for George Brown.
[02:48]	The defendant doesn’t have a lawyer. Mr. Colón.
[02:51]	Would you be so kind
[02:52]	as to stand in for Mr. Brown’s arraignment?
[02:55]	I love the way they make it sound like you have a choice.
[02:58]	Yeah.
[03:00]	I’d be, uh, happy to, Your Honor.
[03:03]	Okay, uh…
[03:05]	any family members here for George Brown?
[03:08]	I’m his wife.
[03:11]	I didn’t know judges could just assign lawyers like that.
[03:14]	Are you our lawyer now?
[03:15]	No. No, I’m just standing in
[03:17]	until your husband gets his own attorney.
[03:20]	We only have a few minutes
[03:22]	to try to argue bail.
[03:23]	Is your husband employed?
[03:25]	If so, where?
[03:26]	Uh, what’s your family life like? Does he have any friends?
[03:28]	Yes. He owns a restaurant.
[03:32]	He’s a devoted father. We have three kids.
[03:34]	He’s in a bowling league. What else can I tell you?
[03:36]	We just need to establish that he has roots in the community.
[03:39]	They want to make sure he’s not a flight risk.
[03:41]	So, the police arrested your husband
[03:42]	after looking for this murderer for 18 years?
[03:47]	Mrs. Grayson, it doesn’t seem
[03:48]	like the kind of thing they would do baselessly.
[03:50]	I don’t know what to tell you.
[03:52]	I haven’t slept for two days.
[03:53]	I just want my husband to come home.
[03:55]	Look, my kids just want their dad to come home.
[04:07]	Are you my lawyer?
[04:09]	For the purpose of this brief hearing.
[04:12]	How bad is it?
[04:13]	It’s pretty bad.
[04:15]	You’re being charged with a count of felony murder.
[04:18]	You’re looking at 25 years to life.
[04:22]	But all I did was drive a car.
[04:24]	Please state your name for the court record.
[04:36]	George Brown.
[04:38]	How do you plead?
[04:39]	Your Honor, we’d like to enter a plea of not guilty.
[04:42]	George Brown is a family man, father of three,
[04:45]	community volunteer,
[04:47]	small business owner,
[04:49]	and he employs seven people in New Jersey.
[04:51]	Your Honor, 18 years ago,
[04:53]	George Brown was the getaway driver
[04:54]	in a robbery at a Fast Cash Express check cashing store.
[04:58]	His coconspirator and older brother,
[05:00]	Richard Brown, held up a 25-year-old man
[05:03]	by the name of Kirk Getty at gunpoint.
[05:05]	He tied him up, gagged him,
[05:07]	and Mr. Getty asphyxiated to death.
[05:09]	The older Mr. Brown stole $8,000 and fled the scene of the crime.
[05:14]	George Brown drove the getaway vehicle.
[05:17]	Police arrested Richard, or Rick,
[05:19]	a short while later.
[05:21]	He was captured on tape calling George
[05:23]	to tell him where the stolen money was hidden
[05:26]	and to take the money and flee.
[05:28]	And apparently started a new life as Jim Grayson.
[05:31]	– Did you know he had a brother? – No. No. No.
[05:34]	George Brown has been a fugitive from justice
[05:36]	for 18 years, Your Honor.
[05:38]	His fingerprints,
[05:40]	lifted from the gun used in the robbery,
[05:41]	were in the system
[05:42]	and finally flagged in New Jersey a few days ago.
[05:45]	He’s clearly a flight risk.
[05:47]	And that is why we are strenuously requesting
[05:49]	that the Court deny Mr. Brown bail.
[05:52]	So ordered.
[05:53]	The defendant is remanded into custody.
[06:04]	I’m so sorry.
[06:06]	So, what happens now?
[06:08]	Now you need to find a good criminal lawyer,
[06:11]	someone who knows their way around felony murder.
[06:14]	And where do we find one of those?
[06:16]	When I get back to my office, I’ll e-mail you a few names.
[06:19]	And what about the two of you?
[06:22]	Have you ever defended someone charged with felony murder?
[06:25]	Yes.
[06:26]	And did you win?
[06:28]	Yes.
[06:30]	So why don’t we start with you.
[06:32]	After the fantastic job we just did for you here?
[06:35]	Apparently, he’s been making them look like fools
[06:38]	for almost 20 years.
[06:39]	I don’t think Johnnie Cochran could have gotten him off.
[06:41]	We own a restaurant.
[06:43]	We can pay you.
[06:46]	Just meet with him.
[06:47]	Listen to his side of the story.
[06:49]	And then if it’s not for you…
[06:53]	I’ll give him ten minutes.
[06:55]	Thank you. Thank you so much.
[07:00]	This is my boss, Dr. Jason Bull.
[07:02]	Your wife wanted us to meet with you,
[07:04]	hear your story, and see if we might
[07:07]	want to be of help to you.
[07:09]	How’s she doing?
[07:12]	About as well as can be expected
[07:14]	given that after ten years of marriage,
[07:16]	she just found out she doesn’t really know you.
[07:20]	She doesn’t know your real name.
[07:22]	You want to tell us how you got here?
[07:25]	It’s not much of a story.
[07:30]	I was 18 years old.
[07:32]	My older brother had a DUI,
[07:34]	so I was driving him home from work.
[07:36]	He was a janitor.
[07:38]	2:00 to 10:00 at the mall.
[07:40]	He said he wanted to go to this check cashing place.
[07:43]	Did you go inside?
[07:45]	I think I actually fell asleep in the car waiting.
[07:49]	I had no idea he was planning on robbing the place.
[07:53]	And what happened after that?
[07:55]	Right after? A lot of nothing.
[07:58]	Went about my life. I went to school the next day.
[08:00]	Came home. He wasn’t there.
[08:01]	Figured he was at work.
[08:04]	But then I went to pick him up, and he never came to the car.
[08:07]	He was under arrest?
[08:09]	Turns out he had gagged
[08:10]	the guy behind the counter,
[08:11]	but couldn’t tie the gag with his gloves on,
[08:13]	so he took them off.
[08:16]	Once they had his prints, it was all over.
[08:19]	And they picked him up at the mall.
[08:20]	I, of course, knew none of this.
[08:24]	Finally, Rick calls me a couple days later from jail.
[08:26]	Tells me where the money is. Tells me to take it and run.
[08:28]	So, if all you did was drive the car,
[08:32]	and if you didn’t even know what your brother did
[08:34]	when he was inside the check cashing store,
[08:36]	why did he tell you to run?
[08:38]	Why didn’t you go to the authorities,
[08:39]	tell them your story?
[08:41]	Rick told me the public defender told him
[08:45]	they were about to put out a warrant for my arrest.
[08:47]	They were convinced we were in it together.
[08:48]	Something called a joint venture.
[08:50]	Ah. In which case,
[08:52]	even though you were only the getaway driver,
[08:55]	in the eyes of the law,
[08:56]	you’re as guilty as the person who held the gun.
[08:59]	And since someone died, everyone’s charged with murder.
[09:03]	Hmm.
[09:04]	So now you’re on the run.
[09:08]	Moved around New England for about a year.
[09:10]	Slept in bus stations.
[09:12]	Didn’t talk to anyone.
[09:15]	And then I met a guy selling drugs in the bus station
[09:18]	who told me he could get me
[09:20]	a dead person’s Social Security number for $350.
[09:26]	And Jim Grayson was born.
[09:31]	Stupid.
[09:33]	I went to renew my liquor license
[09:35]	about a month ago.
[09:37]	They asked for my prints.
[09:38]	I didn’t think a thing about it.
[09:42]	Pretty sure that’s what did me in.
[09:48]	Mrs. Grayson?
[09:51]	So, that was an awfully long ten minutes.
[09:53]	How’s he doing?
[09:55]	That’s funny.
[09:57]	He asked the exact same question about you.
[09:59]	My sense is that he is overcome
[10:01]	with regret and remorse,
[10:05]	and at the exact same time, he is angry and bitter
[10:08]	because any logical examination of the facts
[10:11]	suggests that…
[10:13]	he didn’t really do anything.
[10:15]	You sound like you’re on his side.
[10:17]	You sound like you believe him.
[10:20]	I guess I do.
[10:23]	Does that mean you’d be willing to represent him?
[10:28]	I guess it does.
[10:42]	ADA Peluso. Thanks for coming by.
[10:44]	Dr. Bull’s expecting you.
[10:45]	Any excuse to get out of the office.
[10:48]	So, I’m guessing we’re all here to talk plea deal?
[10:51]	Well, I can’t speak for you,
[10:53]	but Dr. Bull and I are here to talk about dismissal.
[10:56]	Dismissal? Well, it’s good to have a dream.
[11:00]	Well, the joke’s not lost on me,
[11:02]	but let’s talk it through for a second.
[11:05]	No matter how you slice it,
[11:07]	prosecuting that man is still a moral conundrum.
[11:11]	After all, the primary function of our criminal justice system
[11:14]	is to provide deterrence, protect society,
[11:17]	punish people who commit crimes,
[11:20]	and rehabilitate criminals once we have them in custody.
[11:23]	Now, hasn’t all of that
[11:25]	already been accomplished with regard to George Brown?
[11:27]	He’s led a successful and productive life
[11:29]	since the robbery.
[11:30]	He’s not a danger to society.
[11:32]	And he has no intention to commit another crime.
[11:36]	So…
[11:37]	what would be the point of sending him to prison?
[11:41]	Dr. Bull, this trial isn’t an ethics symposium.
[11:44]	We can’t just give someone a “get out of jail free” card
[11:47]	for evading the law.
[11:49]	Come on, did you really think
[11:50]	I was gonna roll over for you that easily?
[11:52]	He’s an innocent man.
[11:54]	Maybe he is…
[11:56]	and maybe he isn’t.
[11:58]	That is why we’re having a trial.
[12:03]	See you on the ice, gentlemen.
[12:06]	A man can’t be found guilty
[12:07]	of a murder simply because it happened in his midst.
[12:10]	And he absolutely can’t be found guilty
[12:13]	of a murder in which he took no part
[12:14]	and was not even aware.
[12:16]	So that’s our narrative?
[12:17]	We’re gonna make the government prove
[12:19]	that George knew what was going on?
[12:20]	Yeah. To be held accountable for a joint venture,
[12:23]	George had to have known
[12:25]	that his brother was gonna commit armed robbery.
[12:27]	And he didn’t know.
[12:29]	How in the world are we gonna prove that?
[12:31]	We’ll start by showing the jury what kind of man he is.
[12:34]	And the key to that is his wife.
[12:36]	Chunk.
[12:37]	Let’s get her in here.
[12:39]	What’s important is when she is sitting in that courtroom,
[12:41]	that she sends the right message to the jurors.
[12:44]	She loves this man.
[12:46]	She trusts this man.
[12:49]	This is a good man.
[12:50]	All right. I’ll do whatever I can
[12:52]	to get her in here today.
[12:54]	And what do we know about how and from whom
[12:56]	he bought this fake Social Security number?
[12:59]	Well, he says he met a guy at a bus station.
[13:01]	Says his name was Joe,
[13:02]	and he sold cell phones in Burlington,
[13:04]	which makes sense,
[13:06]	’cause to buy a cell phone, you have to buy a plan;
[13:08]	to buy a plan, you have to give the merchant
[13:10]	your Social Security number.
[13:12]	Well, at least you did back then.
[13:13]	Any thoughts on voir dire?
[13:15]	The more I think about it,	the more I think
[13:17]	the answer lies in… generativity.
[13:21]	Okay, I’m out.
[13:22]	Yeah, me, too.
[13:24]	Seven years of college
[13:25]	and I have no idea what you’re talking about.
[13:28]	Generativity is the concern for,
[13:31]	and belief in, the future.
[13:33]	And a commitment to the idea that no matter
[13:35]	how bad things may be at any given moment,
[13:39]	you can persevere and redeem yourself.
[13:43]	Let me give you an example.
[13:45]	Marissa.
[13:47]	If you say so.
[13:49]	I mean it as a compliment.
[13:51]	It’s an admirable quality in a person.
[13:53]	So, tell me your life story.
[13:56]	Boil it down to what you think’s relevant.
[13:58]	I was adopted into a wonderful family.
[14:03]	And meeting my birth parents
[14:04]	made me appreciate different ways
[14:06]	my life could have ended up.
[14:09]	But I like the way it’s gone.
[14:11]	I worked for Homeland Security.
[14:14]	I developed an algorithm to try to help understand people,
[14:17]	which led me to you.
[14:20]	I have had a string of interesting relationships.
[14:23]	Some good, one Kyle.
[14:28]	But none of them broke me,
[14:31]	and none of them made me who I am.
[14:36]	You see?
[14:37]	Highly generative people,
[14:39]	they’re driven to help others
[14:41]	for the betterment of the future,
[14:42]	because they see the arcs of their lives
[14:45]	as redemption stories.
[14:47]	And that’s what we want.
[14:48]	Jurors, who no matter what the prosecution presents,
[14:52]	will only see a man who’s changed,
[14:54]	making a good life out of a bad circumstance.
[14:58]	So tell me,
[15:00]	if you lost your job today,
[15:02]	where would you be in five years?
[15:04]	I guess I’d try to find a similar position somewhere else.
[15:07]	And if that didn’t work, well,
[15:09]	I’d just try and find another job.
[15:10]	I’d like to think I’m the captain of my own destiny.
[15:16]	This juror is acceptable to the defense, Your Honor.
[15:19]	This should be interesting.
[15:21]	Harold King was essentially homeless from the age of 13 on.
[15:25]	Grew up on the streets, hustling for food and money.
[15:28]	Finally got a legitimate job working
[15:30]	for a private sanitation company.
[15:32]	Worked there for 22 years,
[15:34]	till he was suddenly laid off last Christmas.
[15:36]	Six weeks later, his wife left him.
[15:38]	It’s a wonder he can get out of bed.
[15:40]	Let me ask you a question, sir.
[15:42]	Would you trade your life for anyone else’s?
[15:46]	Not a chance in hell.
[15:47]	Everything I’ve been through has made me who I am today.
[15:51]	I love that man.
[15:56]	“Mr. Palmer, you continue to confuse the law
[15:59]	“with some kind of game show.
[16:01]	“It’s not about winning and losing.
[16:03]	It’s about the search for what is right.”
[16:05]	A “D.” Damn it. A “D”?
[16:12]	Hi. I’m Kristen.
[16:14]	Jim’s wife… uh, George’s wife.
[16:16]	I-I just came straight from the courthouse.
[16:18]	Dr. Bull wanted me to do some witness prep?
[16:21]	Although, nobody’s told me I was going to be a witness.
[16:24]	Oh, hi.
[16:25]	I’m Chunk Palmer. It’s nice to meet you.
[16:27]	And no, you won’t be going on the stand.
[16:29]	Not in the immediate future, at least.
[16:32]	Then what’s the point?
[16:36]	We just want to make sure that you’re mindful,
[16:39]	that even when you’re sitting in the gallery,
[16:42]	that the jury is still watching you.
[16:45]	No. I know.
[16:47]	It’s important.
[16:49]	It’s all important.
[16:51]	I actually went
[16:52]	to go see him last night in jail.
[16:56]	Not a moment I ever imagined,
[16:58]	but I needed to know what was true and what wasn’t,
[17:01]	about everything he’s ever told me.
[17:04]	And he was honest about everything that mattered.
[17:09]	I mentioned our kids and he cried.
[17:13]	Do you have kids?
[17:14]	Yeah. One.
[17:17]	They’re just… your everything.
[17:20]	And the shock of all of it,
[17:23]	knowing that their last names…
[17:25]	my last name… is made up, bought.
[17:28]	I got so mad.
[17:30]	And then he reminded me that their first names…
[17:34]	those were ours.
[17:38]	Our first baby, Malone,
[17:40]	before she arrived, we had no money.
[17:43]	And so for fun, we would go
[17:45]	to these minor league baseball games.
[17:46]	And they cost, like, two dollars a ticket.
[17:49]	And they had this shortstop, Malone Jackson.
[17:52]	And Jimmy…
[17:55]	George loved him.
[17:57]	He loves everything about baseball,
[17:58]	but he really loved him.
[18:01]	And so I loved him, too.
[18:05]	And when the baby came, and she was a she,
[18:08]	we said “so what,”
[18:11]	and she became Malone.
[18:18]	That’s her.
[18:20]	That’s Malone.
[18:22]	And Ella and Richard.
[18:25]	They’re with my mom right now.
[18:29]	They miss him so much.
[18:33]	This…
[18:35]	how you look and feel right now,
[18:38]	that’s what we need in the courtroom.
[18:41]	So, when you’re sitting there,
[18:43]	and the prosecution is making him out
[18:45]	to be anything but the man you know,
[18:47]	remember this feeling.
[18:50]	It’s gonna give you peace.
[18:53]	And it’s gonna help the jury see who George really is.
[19:12]	Ladies and gentleman of the jury,
[19:14]	I am here to tell you about an innocent man,
[19:18]	who endured difficult circumstances
[19:22]	early in his life,
[19:24]	only to make something of himself.
[19:27]	My client was born George Brown,
[19:31]	to parents Malone and Ella Brown.
[19:36]	Both parents were killed in a car accident
[19:38]	when George was only ten.
[19:41]	And his brother, Richard Brown,
[19:42]	raised him for the next eight years.
[19:44]	Your wife suddenly seems very upset.
[19:46]	George Brown is a loving husband…
[19:48]	– Marissa, is Chunk there? – …a devoted father…
[19:49]	Did he even prepare Kristen at all?
[19:52]	She looks like she’s about to fall apart.
[19:54]	I don’t know what to say.
[19:55]	I worked with the woman for almost an hour.
[19:57]	Here it is online. Malone and Ella Brown.
[20:00]	“Fatal collision kills parents of two in Staten Island””
[20:03]	Wait a second.
[20:05]	Did you say Malone and Ella?
[20:08]	Those are his parents’ names?
[20:10]	Those are the names of their kids.
[20:12]	He lied to her again.
[20:14]	The two boys didn’t have an easy time of it,
[20:17]	but nonetheless, they had to do what they had to do,
[20:21]	– in order to get on… – Face front.
[20:22]	You’re only making things worse.
[20:23]	The older brother, Richard,
[20:25]	took a job as a janitor at the local mall,
[20:28]	and George went about
[20:29]	completing his high school education.
[20:56]	You okay?
[20:59]	My children are named after parents
[21:01]	I never knew anything about,
[21:02]	and a brother-in-law I never met.
[21:05]	Why would he do that?
[21:06]	That’s not a lie he needed to tell me,
[21:09]	and how many more of those are there?
[21:10]	Well, lies are funny things.
[21:14]	I can tell you from personal experience,
[21:17]	you convince yourself there’s only one lie
[21:20]	you need to tell out of necessity.
[21:24]	And then the others…
[21:27]	the others just… happen.
[21:30]	It’s all too much.
[21:32]	I know it seems that way,
[21:33]	but he needs you.
[21:36]	And tomorrow, the prosecution
[21:37]	is gonna begin to present its case.
[21:40]	And if you’re not there, he has no one,
[21:42]	and the jury’s gonna notice.
[21:45]	They certainly did when you left.
[21:46]	So after executing
[21:48]	the search warrant on the suspect’s premises,
[21:50]	what did you find?
[21:51]	We found a gun under a mattress
[21:53]	in what we determined to be Rick Brown’s bedroom
[21:55]	in the apartment that, uh, Rick and George Brown lived in.
[21:58]	– Stop looking for her. – Were you able
[22:00]	to lift fingerprints…
[22:01]	All you’re doing is calling the jury’s attention
[22:02]	– to the fact that she’s not here. – Yes. Two sets.
[22:05]	Did you determine who they belonged to?
[22:06]	Rick Brown and the defendant, George Brown.
[22:16]	You sent the gun to the crime lab.
[22:18]	We certainly did.
[22:19]	And you got my client’s prints back.
[22:22]	We certainly did.
[22:36]	Tell Chunk mission accomplished.
[22:38]	And thank you.
[22:41]	Now, just to be clear,
[22:45]	do these prints show you
[22:48]	when George Brown touched the gun?
[22:50]	No.
[22:52]	And do they reveal how he handled the gun?
[22:54]	I mean, I would think there’s one set
[22:57]	of prints you typically get when someone uses a gun
[23:00]	and perhaps a different pattern of prints
[23:02]	when someone handles the gun.
[23:05]	Uh, picks it up, uh, to move it.
[23:08]	Something like that.
[23:08]	I suppose that’s true.
[23:10]	Well, it’s either true or it isn’t, Detective.
[23:13]	Yes.
[23:15]	If someone used the gun,
[23:16]	the location of the prints would be different
[23:18]	than if somebody handled the gun.
[23:19]	And would you say
[23:21]	that the pattern of his prints is consistent
[23:24]	with someone who had used the gun?
[23:28]	No,
[23:30]	I would not.
[23:31]	And you’ve already testified
[23:32]	that the prints don’t indicate
[23:35]	when my client might have handled the gun.
[23:37]	Isn’t that correct?
[23:38]	Your Honor, counsel’s testifying.
[23:40]	Overruled.
[23:41]	Continue, Mr. Colón.
[23:42]	Yes, Your Honor.
[23:43]	So, to sum it up,
[23:46]	you have my client’s prints
[23:49]	on a gun that belonged to a man
[23:51]	that he had shared a home with his entire life.
[23:55]	Not a surprise.
[23:57]	The prints don’t prove he used the gun
[24:00]	or that it was in his possession
[24:03]	at any time in or around the robbery.
[24:06]	Is that an accurate reflection of your testimony, Detective?
[24:11]	Yes.
[24:13]	No further questions, Your Honor.
[24:18]	How’s the weather over there?
[24:19]	We still frozen out?
[24:20]	Actually, I’m starting to feel a bit of a thaw.
[24:23]	We picked up one green juror.
[24:25]	I’ll take it.
[24:27]	And I just had a thought.
[24:29]	See if you can get Benny and me
[24:31]	two visitors’ passes to Green Haven.
[24:34]	We’d like to sit down with Rick Brown.
[24:43]	Mr. Brown, my name’s Dr. Jason Bull.
[24:47]	This is Benjamin Colón.
[24:49]	We’re here on behalf of your brother, George Brown.
[24:52]	On behalf of your brother
[24:54]	and his wife Kristen
[24:56]	and their three children,
[24:58]	your nieces and nephew.
[25:02]	He’s a dad? He’s a…
[25:04]	I’m an uncle?
[25:07]	Uh…
[25:12]	Wh-Where is he? Is he okay?
[25:14]	He’s on trial for the murder of Kirk Getty.
[25:20]	My God.
[25:23]	We’re trying to help your brother.
[25:25]	Mr. Colón is his attorney,
[25:26]	and I’m what they call a trial scientist.
[25:30]	Now, obviously, we know George’s version
[25:32]	of what happened that night. But only you know
[25:35]	what went on inside the check cashing shop.
[25:38]	What do you want to know?
[25:41]	I was-was all bundled up.
[25:43]	Big coat.
[25:45]	Scarves.
[25:47]	Ski gloves.
[25:50]	It was cold.
[25:52]	Plus…
[25:54]	I knew there was a camera.
[25:56]	And you were armed?
[25:58]	I had a gun.
[26:00]	And it wasn’t loaded.
[26:03]	Plus, I-I was wearing gloves.
[26:05]	You ever try to hold a gun
[26:07]	while you’re wearing ski gloves?
[26:09]	Wait a second.
[26:10]	Go back to the part where the gun wasn’t loaded.
[26:12]	What about it? There was no reason to load it.
[26:15]	I wasn’t planning on shooting it.
[26:17]	And why was that?
[26:19]	Because I wasn’t planning on killing Kirk.
[26:21]	He was my friend.
[26:24]	Well, if you didn’t plan on using the gun
[26:27]	and Kirk was your friend,
[26:29]	– what was your plan? – I was planning
[26:31]	on paying some bills.
[26:32]	I was planning on being a good brother.
[26:35]	George started talking about wanting to go
[26:37]	to cooking school after he graduated.
[26:42]	And I met this guy at the mall.
[26:44]	He worked at the Sunglass Hut.
[26:46]	He ended up getting a job at the check cashing place.
[26:50]	And he wanted to buy a motorcycle, this guy.
[26:55]	We thought we were so freakin’ brilliant.
[26:58]	Wait a second. I’m…
[27:00]	I’m confused.
[27:01]	So, your friend, how did he die?
[27:04]	We knew that they had cameras.
[27:06]	We knew we had to put on a show.
[27:09]	I came in there, waved the gun around,
[27:11]	I tied him up, put a gag in his mouth.
[27:14]	And then I don’t know what happened.
[27:18]	By the time I was done,
[27:20]	you know, they to… they told me they think he panicked.
[27:23]	He threw up, choked on his own vomit.
[27:30]	Tell me about George.
[27:32]	You tell me about George.
[27:34]	Did he have any idea what was going on?
[27:36]	Not a clue. He was just…
[27:38]	He was my ride. That’s all.
[27:39]	Period.
[27:41]	You want to make this right?
[27:44]	What do you mean? How?
[27:46]	Testify on his behalf.
[27:48]	I’d love to.
[27:49]	But who’s gonna believe me?
[27:52]	You let us worry about that.
[27:56]	– Your brother said to say hello. – Rick?
[27:59]	H-How is he? Is he okay?
[28:01]	As okay as you can be in prison.
[28:03]	He feels terrible
[28:05]	about everything that’s happening to you.
[28:07]	He wants to help.
[28:10]	So…
[28:12]	the court officer just informed me
[28:14]	that the judge wants to have a meeting in his chambers.
[28:17]	Yes,
[28:19]	I am asking to call a surprise witness.
[28:21]	But it’s as much a surprise to me as it is to you, Your Honor.
[28:23]	We just put this piece of the puzzle together yesterday.
[28:25]	Your Honor, what may or may not have happened
[28:27]	three years after the crime that my client is on trial for
[28:30]	is completely irrelevant.
[28:32]	I disagree. It is the very definition of relevance.
[28:34]	It’s a subsequent bad act.
[28:36]	Your client used his stolen identity to commit larceny
[28:39]	in the state of New Hampshire.
[28:40]	He bought $10,000 worth of electronics at a Best Buy
[28:43]	with a fraudulently acquired credit card
[28:45]	and never paid it off.
[28:46]	Well, maybe he did, maybe he didn’t.
[28:48]	Let’s not forget none of this has been proven. But,
[28:51]	as Mr. Colón pointed out, how would credit card theft
[28:53]	illuminate for the jury whether or not Mr. Brown
[28:55]	was party to a murder?
[28:57]	Well, for one, it might very well suggest
[28:59]	a pattern of lawlessness that the jury could find compelling
[29:02]	as they try to wrestle with the key question here,
[29:05]	which is, how much did Mr. Brown actually know
[29:07]	about what he was doing that night?
[29:09]	Really, Your Honor? The possibility that my client
[29:11]	may have bought a TV and DVD player and never paid for it
[29:14]	somehow makes him a more plausible coconspirator
[29:17]	to murder?
[29:19]	Are you lecturing me, sir?
[29:20]	Of course not, Your Honor.
[29:24]	I’m going to allow the witness.
[29:26]	But I’m calling
[29:28]	a recess for today to allow both sides to prepare.
[29:30]	Thank you for allowing the witness.
[29:32]	– And thank you for the time to prepare. – Yes.
[29:34]	Thank you for the time to prepare.
[29:37]	You’re all very welcome.
[29:49]	Even if we do put his brother on the stand,
[29:52]	he’s right. Who’s gonna believe him?
[29:54]	It’s a tough story to buy into.
[29:56]	“My friend and I planned
[29:57]	“this robbery together.
[29:58]	“He just happened to die. And, oh,
[30:00]	“uh, by the way, my brother had no idea
[30:02]	– what we were up to”? – Not to pour salt in the wound,
[30:04]	but the two green jurors that we still have, they’re soft.
[30:07]	Based on my focus group work,
[30:10]	it’s not gonna take much to turn them red.
[30:13]	I don’t want to hear it!
[30:14]	I’ve had enough bad news for one day.
[30:16]	Too damn bad. I’m coming in.
[30:19]	Wow, look at all the happy faces.
[30:23]	You come up with something to refute the charges
[30:25]	that George committed credit card fraud?
[30:27]	Although, for the life of me,
[30:28]	I still don’t see what that has to do with this.
[30:31]	Cable’s working on it.
[30:32]	I’ve been watching the closed circuit security tapes
[30:34]	of the robbery that came over with the prosecution’s
[30:37]	latest batch of discovery materials.
[30:39]	Can I show you guys something?
[30:41]	There’s no sound.
[30:43]	Just picture. So you got to watch carefully.
[30:47]	Okay, see what George’s brother does after everything is done?
[30:50]	He’s got the money.
[30:51]	Now, based on the time stamp, we know that,
[30:53]	by this time, the alarm is going off.
[30:54]	So he’s got to be concerned that the cops are on their way.
[30:57]	Watch him.
[30:58]	He starts to head out, and then he comes back.
[31:02]	Looks like he’s saying something.
[31:03]	He’s realizing something’s wrong.
[31:07]	See?
[31:09]	He’s realizing
[31:11]	his friend is dead.
[31:12]	When’s the last time you heard about a robber
[31:14]	stopping mid-getaway to check his victim’s pulse?
[31:17]	So you think if we show this to a jury
[31:19]	after we put Rick on the stand, they’ll believe
[31:21]	that Kirk’s death was accidental?
[31:23]	Yes!
[31:26]	I think George has an alibi.
[31:28]	Well, what do you mean?
[31:30]	Okay, on the day of the purchase,
[31:31]	he was nowhere near New Hampshire.
[31:33]	He was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant he now owns.
[31:36]	I just finished reaching out to his old boss, the man
[31:38]	he bought the restaurant from.
[31:39]	He has time cards and eyewitnesses.
[31:41]	There is no way he could have done it.
[31:43]	What do you think?
[31:45]	It’s good.
[31:47]	I just wish it was a little more.
[31:50]	And I wish with all my heart it proved he had no idea
[31:52]	what his brother and best friend were up to that night.
[31:54]	Well, actually, there is a little bit more.
[31:57]	I tracked down the Best Buy receipts
[31:59]	and located all the serial numbers and identifiers
[32:01]	associated with the purchased items,
[32:02]	which were actually laptops, by the way.
[32:04]	Then I did a search for those.
[32:07]	And after all this time, I actually found one
[32:08]	on an archived
[32:09]	online auction site.
[32:11]	I did a little hacking
[32:12]	and tracked down the seller’s IP address.
[32:15]	And it turns out
[32:16]	it belongs to an Emory Cochburn,
[32:20]	who, by the way, is in prison for insurance fraud.
[32:24]	– Which means…?	– Which means
[32:26]	whoever sold the stolen Social Security number to George
[32:29]	sold it at least one more time.
[32:31]	Looks that way.
[32:33]	Nice work, Cable.
[32:34]	I just wish
[32:36]	it cleared George of the crime
[32:37]	we were hired to defend him from.
[32:39]	George Brown stole the Social Security number
[32:41]	of the deceased, Jim Grayson,
[32:42]	to establish a new identity.
[32:44]	He then opened a credit card
[32:46]	at a Best Buy in Manchester, New Hampshire,
[32:48]	and used that card to purchase $10,000 worth of electronics
[32:51]	that he had no intention of ever paying for.
[32:54]	Thank you, Officer Lyden.
[33:01]	Officer Lyden, thank you.
[33:03]	Thank you for taking the time and coming
[33:05]	– to talk to us today. – My pleasure.
[33:07]	Let me ask you something.
[33:08]	Do you have any actual proof
[33:11]	that the man sitting before you here today is the same man
[33:17]	who fraudulently applied for a credit card
[33:19]	and bought these electronics?
[33:21]	Of course. It’s the same name, same Social Security number.
[33:25]	What else do you need?
[33:27]	And what if I told you that this Jim Grayson,
[33:29]	also known as George Brown, was in Glen Rock, New Jersey,
[33:32]	hundreds of miles away at the time of the purchase,
[33:35]	and that someone else had bought
[33:36]	the same stolen Social Security number
[33:39]	and committed the theft that you are attributing to my client?
[33:42]	Well, I would say that sounds like a pretty convenient story.
[33:47]	Your Honor, we’d like to offer proof
[33:51]	of my client’s alibi
[33:53]	in the form of time cards
[33:56]	and eyewitness accounts
[33:58]	from Mr. Brown’s place of employment
[34:01]	at the date in question.
[34:02]	It may not be the slam dunk we need… not yet…
[34:06]	but these jurors are starting to warm up.
[34:07]	I can feel it.
[34:09]	The jury hasn’t heard enough to acquit,
[34:10]	or even force a mistrial,
[34:12]	but they’re listening to us again.
[34:13]	They think we have something to say,
[34:15]	and I’ll take that any time.
[34:17]	Tell Cable thanks for all the hard work.
[34:30]	I just kept thinking about what you told us
[34:31]	the older brother said.
[34:32]	That this whole thing was really an inside job.
[34:34]	That no one was supposed to lose their lives.
[34:37]	That these guys knew each other.
[34:38]	And then I kept thinking about what you said.
[34:41]	That Rick can testify to it, but who’s gonna believe him?
[34:44]	How do you prove it?
[34:45]	Yeah? So?
[34:47]	So I woke up and watched the tape again.
[34:49]	I mean, the idea of it actually woke me up.
[34:52]	Only this time, I watched it with that in mind.
[34:57]	And I think I found something.
[35:02]	See that?
[35:03]	See what?
[35:05]	Kirk, the friend, he puts his hands up
[35:08]	before Rick pulls out his gun.
[35:13]	You want proof it was an inside job, there it is.
[35:17]	You want to prove that they knew each other,
[35:19]	there it is.
[35:21]	You want to prove that no one was supposed to die that night?
[35:23]	Picture’s worth a thousand words.
[35:25]	If we can prove it’s an inside job with the cooperation
[35:28]	of an employee of the store,
[35:29]	technically, there’s no armed robbery,
[35:31]	which negates the felony murder charge, which means…
[35:34]	George is actually innocent.
[35:42]	Well, what’d you get?
[35:44]	The mother lode, pretty much.
[35:46]	Although I think I did promise
[35:48]	– to marry the guy who got them for me. – Excellent.
[35:50]	Who doesn’t love a good wedding?
[35:51]	So you’re looking at call logs
[35:52]	between Kirk’s pager and Rick’s phone,
[35:54]	Rick’s pager and Kirk’s phone,
[35:56]	and calls between both men’s phones starting in late 1999.
[35:59]	Then it jumps to ten exchanges per day
[36:02]	during the week of the robbery.
[36:05]	Ah. Great.
[36:07]	Um, go home, get some sleep.
[36:10]	What is your relationship to the defendant?
[36:14]	He’s my younger brother.
[36:16]	And what was your relationship
[36:18]	to the clerk who died in the robbery…
[36:20]	Kirk Getty?
[36:22]	I worked in the mall as a custodian.
[36:26]	Kirk sold sunglasses.
[36:28]	We met one night.
[36:30]	We hit it off.
[36:32]	We realized, uh, we had a lot in common.
[36:34]	So,
[36:36]	I mean, at what point did the two of you decide
[36:38]	to stage a robbery together?
[36:40]	Objection. Leading.
[36:43]	My apologies, Your Honor.
[36:44]	Let me word it a different way.
[36:46]	Uh… uh, whose idea was it
[36:50]	to rob a check cashing place?
[36:52]	Well, it actually started out with Kirk. He…
[36:56]	You know, he wanted to buy this motorcycle.
[36:59]	Uh, but truthfully, within 90 seconds,
[37:02]	we were planning it together.
[37:04]	Because he worked there, he knew all the important stuff,
[37:07]	like combination to the safe
[37:10]	and what day and time to show up
[37:12]	when there would be the most cash there.
[37:15]	It really seemed like it was gonna be easy.
[37:18]	And-and what about your brother, George Brown?
[37:20]	Was he in on the planning?
[37:21]	No. George would never do something like that.
[37:25]	All he was doing that night was picking me up from work.
[37:29]	He didn’t know why I wanted
[37:30]	to stop by the check cashing place.
[37:32]	All he wanted was to get home.
[37:35]	So you never planned on killing anyone?
[37:37]	Of course not. There were no bullets in the gun.
[37:40]	It was all for the security camera.
[37:42]	With that in mind, we’d like to enter into evidence
[37:46]	the security camera footage from that night,
[37:48]	with a particular emphasis on the time code numbers
[37:51]	indicated on the paperwork.
[37:56]	You can clearly see the victim with his hands up,
[37:59]	even before the witness exposes his weapon.
[38:02]	A clear indication that he knew exactly
[38:04]	what was going to happen that night.
[38:07]	As well as another time code,
[38:09]	which clearly shows the witness delaying his exit
[38:11]	out of the store,
[38:13]	so he could check on the condition of his friend
[38:16]	once he realized that he was in some form of distress.
[38:19]	Additionally, we’d like to enter into evidence phone records
[38:24]	that clearly indicate the prior relationship
[38:28]	between the witness and the victim.
[38:32]	Order in the court, please.
[38:34]	Let’s quiet down. Let’s quiet down.
[38:38]	No further questions for this witness, Your Honor.
[38:42]	Marissa, we just hit them with all the firepower we’ve got.
[38:45]	Tell me it made a difference.
[38:46]	You want the good news or the bad news?
[38:49]	All your generative jurors finally woke up
[38:51]	and have gone green.
[38:52]	Bad news is, there’s only six of them.
[38:54]	The other six aren’t quite there yet.
[38:57]	Mr. Peluso, your witness.
[38:59]	Uh, in light of all this new information,
[39:03]	if it pleases the Court, I was hoping
[39:05]	I could request a brief recess?
[39:07]	This court will take a 20-minute recess.
[39:12]	What do you think that means?
[39:14]	I don’t know. Maybe he’s a smoker.
[39:16]	Maybe he’s got a small bladder.
[39:21]	Maybe he wants to borrow some money.
[39:23]	I’ll be right back.
[39:28]	It’s a great system, isn’t it?
[39:31]	You go into it thinking, “I know what’s going on here.
[39:34]	“I know what’s right.
[39:36]	I know where this is gonna end up””
[39:38]	And then…
[39:39]	It’s just a great system.
[39:42]	I think it’s, like, seven-five, or five-seven.
[39:45]	Or maybe it’s split down the middle.
[39:47]	– What do you think? – I think he’s an innocent man.
[39:49]	I think you know it. I think they feel it.
[39:53]	Thing is, you’re not gonna get ’em all, and neither am I,
[39:55]	which means you’re staring at a mistrial,
[39:57]	which means you steal another year
[40:00]	of this guy’s life while he sits in jail
[40:02]	waiting for his second day in court.
[40:04]	And his kids keep growing, and his wife keeps wondering
[40:06]	why she suddenly became a single parent.
[40:08]	And he’s forced to close his business
[40:11]	and let his employees go.
[40:12]	And like I said when we first met, what’s the point?
[40:17]	He’s not a criminal.
[40:18]	He never was.
[40:20]	You really want me to go in there and ask for a dismissal?
[40:24]	I have people I have to answer to.
[40:25]	This is not an easy conversation to have.
[40:27]	Yeah, but the conversation you want to have
[40:30]	isn’t happening today, so why not get this one over with?
[40:33]	In fact, why don’t you call ’em right now?
[40:37]	Mr. Assistant District Attorney, you’re not a stupid man.
[40:39]	You know you’re not getting a conviction against George Brown.
[40:42]	Not today, not ever.
[40:43]	And that’s with me and my team having about a week to prepare.
[40:46]	You put my client through another year of this hell,
[40:50]	and I promise you I will spend every day of that year
[40:54]	getting ready for the new trial.
[40:57]	And when we meet again, you won’t know what hit you.
[41:01]	Now I’m gonna go back inside while you make up your mind.
[41:05]	Surprise me.
[41:16]	Your Honor?
[41:18]	It’s a great system, isn’t it?
[41:22]	You go into a trial thinking, “I know what’s going on here.
[41:25]	“I know what’s right.
[41:27]	I know where this is gonna end up.”
[41:29]	And then the system humbles you.
[41:31]	You realize you hadn’t considered all the facts,
[41:33]	that your thinking may have been flawed.
[41:36]	And that incarcerating someone who almost certainly had no idea
[41:39]	what was going on in a building 35 feet away
[41:42]	while he sat in a car makes no sense.
[41:44]	I believe that’s the case here.
[41:46]	And with that in mind, the district attorney’s office
[41:49]	would like to enter a motion
[41:50]	to dismiss all charges against George Brown.
[41:54]	This court will accept the prosecution’s motion.
[41:57]	The defendant is free to go.
[41:58]	And we thank the jury for its service.
[42:06]	Thank you.
[42:17]	I know we’ve never met before.
[42:21]	But my name is George.
[42:24]	My last name is Brown.
[42:28]	And you’d make me the happiest man in the world
[42:31]	if you’d marry me and make that your last name, too.
[42:44]	You know, I think those two have a future together.
[42:49]	Wait a second.
[42:51]	Are those tears? You crying, you big old softie?
[42:54]	Excuse me. I believe you’re mistaken.
[42:56]	These are not tears.
[42:58]	Wasn’t it Tom Hanks who famously said,
[43:00]	“There’s no tears in trial science”?
[43:03]	No. I believe he was talking about chocolates.
[43:05]	– No reference to trial science. – Whatever.
