In Justice s01e05 Episode Script

- That is unadulterated crap.
- Excuse me? It's crap, Margaret, and you know it.
Can we say "crap" on this show, Todd? Well, David, it's just that The national justice project cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
They embroider.
They distort.
The D.
A.
is clearly trying to shift blame here.
That's why the national justice project There he goes again.
See, that is why mr.
Swain is here to promote his self-interest.
Ask him if he's running for attorney general, Todd.
Then we'll talk.
My position has been clear from day one, Todd.
If the good people of California wish to support me, then I feel compelled to listen.
What do you think? - About what? - Me and Mannheim.
What do you think? Would you vote for me? You're not going to vote for me, Charlie? Maybe it's on my desk.
Hey, I can't believe this.
Why not? David, please, let's not talk about this.
How long have you known me, Charlie? - And I can't convince you - Interesting walk-in right here.
- I'm talking here.
- I'm sorry.
I.
.
Charlie, this conversation's not finished.
Donald Brooks, 1999.
Burglary, assault, homicide - "Killing of unborn child"? - Yeah, mother lived, baby died.
- Who is it? - Well, that's what's interesting.
Mr.
O'Brian, we'd like you to meet our chief investigator Charles Conti.
- Hey, thanks for seeing me.
- No problem.
So, uh, I understand you're a friend of Donald Brooks? No, I've never actually met him before in my life.
Oh, then I'm not sure what I was, um, on the jury that convicted him.
So you were the lone holdout, Mr.
O'Brian, huh? Everyone else wanted to convict? Yeah.
Well, this woman who was attacked, Leah Sanders, she was shaky on the stand, even admitted that she couldn't pick Brooks out of a photo lineup first time around.
So she picked him out later.
Big deal! It is a big deal.
Maybe she just wanted to get it over with.
Yeah, like all of us right now.
So we should put a guy away just because we're tired? Oh, come on, Russ.
That's not what I'm saying, Russ, all right? - We've been over it so many times.
- All right, let's go over it again.
He breaks the window with a crowbar.
Let's get to it! We all need to get in shape, and when we're pregnant, it's even more important.
Okay, here we go.
Lift and stretch, lift and stretch.
Take it to the center.
Now bring it to the side.
And to the other side.
Lift and stretch.
Lift and stretch.
He beat her to a pulp.
You want to put a monster like that back on the street? No, I just want to make sure we have the right monster.
Look, let's take another vote.
All those for guilty? 11 to 1.
O'Brian, you're the lone holdout.
And what made you change your mind? The hair.
Police found two hairs from the struggle.
The forensics guy from the crime lab he testified that the hair came from Brooks' head.
What did that expert say? There's a 1 in 10,000 chance for a match.
How do you answer that? Claybourne's been doing this for 20 years.
- I don't know.
I just don't trust him.
- You don't? Who's the expert here, you or him? We all wanting on you.
We all heard the judge.
He said we had to evaluate each witness.
And I'm telling you, that guy comes into my office, I'm not buying.
Look, Russ, the defense didn't challenge the expert's credentials, and that's their job, right? - I still don't trust him.
Let's take another vote.
I hired a private investigator after the trial Hartly and Bower.
Bad choice? - Well, it's justwe don't - They suck.
Yeah, well, you're right.
They didn't do much.
All right, I don't understand, Mr.
O'Brian.
Why are you here? The trial was six years ago.
Why now? Well, last week I read this.
"Stanton Claybourne dies in a car crash on the 480.
" His blood alcohol was 2.
3.
He'd been fired from his last three jobs.
I don't follow.
Who's Stanton Claybourne? He's the crime lab expert who testified at the trial.
- The reason you voted to convict.
- Dies drunk and unemployable.
Exactly.
I believe I helped put away an innocent man.
The defense team is asking for a polling of the jury.
Juror one, how do you plead? Guilty.
Juror two, how do you plead? Guilty.
Juror three, how do you plead? Guilty.
Juror four, how do you plead? Guilty.
Juror five, how do you plead? Juror five? Guilty.
My father, he told me every day, every minute, you fight for what you believe in, always.
And on that day I didn't.
All right.
His name is Donald Brooks serving life without parole, accused of attacking 26-year-old Leah Sanders.
Now Leah survived.
Her 8-month fetus died.
- What's the evidence? Come on.
- Where where's Conti? Folsom, meeting with Brooks.
Victim's testimony on the way to the hospital, she told her husband she was attacked by a black man.
And the weapon the police canvassed the area and found a bloody crowbar in a dumpster under the Sanders' window, and no fingerprints, though.
But the cops realized that besides the attack, that it fit about a half-dozen other crowbar burglaries within the past three months.
- Good.
One of the burglary victims described the assailant to a police sketch artist.
Now the police, rounding up the usual suspects, included Brooks.
Why? He has hair in cornrows just like the sketch.
Yeah, but in the hospital, Leah passes on Brooks the first time, but when they show her the photo again, she picks him out.
Good.
Sonya, I want you to follow up on these crowbar burglaries, did they stop when Brooks was arrested? Brianna, oh, this is your lucky day.
I want you to check out this guy.
Who's that? Stanton P.
Claybourne, our lab technician of dubious competency.
He died in a drunk driving accident, so he's not going to say much but I want to know everything about him, hmm? Which brings us to the next most-important piece of evidence in the entire case.
All right, repeat after me, mouseketeers.
- "Hair.
" - Very good.
The hair evidence found at the scene that Claybourne said belonged to Brooks.
- I'll take that, sir.
- It's the cornerstone of the case.
If we can prove that this hair doesn't belong to Brooks, the state's case against our client crumbles.
Trust me.
The Hayden crime lab is a fort knox of evidence.
Hello.
Hey, Charlie.
How you doing? "Trust me"? Well, if it gives me a chance t o impress him, why not? Well, it just sounds a little false coming from the biggest liar in here.
Okay, well, let's see.
We don't have subpoena power, can't arrest anyone, and there's no reason anyone should help us.
So if a lie gets us a little closer to the truth, then we'll throw in a lie.
Okay, you know what's scaring me? Is that you have it all figured out.
Yeah, no, it's going great.
We decided we don't need you anymore.
Good.
Now about assignments, I want Jon in the crime lab, Briannaput her on this dead expert, Stanton Claybourne.
And, uh, Sonya Yeah, Sonya's following up on the crowbar burglaries.
Don't worry.
Oh, okay.
We're good.
It's my stance on the death penalty, isn't it? That's why you won't vote for me.
- Got to go.
- Brooks was a drug dealer? - Yeah, strictly small-time.
Sold a couple of rocks to an undercover officer oncestreet value, like, $20.
Didn't come out in court.
The defense didn't put Brooks on the stand.
It was a strategy to keep bad facts from the jury.
Bad facts, right.
I guess I had a different picture of this kid.
Well, guys like Brooks, you know, they don't grow up with a lot of options.
There's always options.
That's why this is such a great country, right? You know, my dad he came from a broken home, didn't get past high school.
Did he use drugs? No.
He joined the army, then the fire department.
My dad was navy, police department.
We kicked your ass in football.
In the '30s, maybe.
Yeah, I remember you.
I had you down as a guilty vote from the jump.
I thought you was another white man trying to save the world from black people.
No.
The truth is, I was the last one to vote guilty.
What about that tall brother? When they said a juror was coming down, I thought that was him.
The truck driver? No, he would have fried you on the spot.
I was your best friend on that jury, Donald.
It's bothered me ever since.
- Oh, bothered you? That's why I'm here.
It's a little late, ain't it? - Excuse me? - It's been six years, man! These things take time.
Six years?! For somethin' I didn't do?! All right, all right, let's talk about your alibiKendra Brown.
Now you're saying that you were, in bed with her at the time of the attack, so how come she says different? She was Dante's girl.
I don't know who that is.
Dante Williams, the big gangbanger.
Okay, okay, so she was afraid of him.
He would have smoked her! Where's Dante now? I don't know.
Dead or somewhere inside.
Let me ask you a question, Donald.
If we get you out of here, are you going to go back to drugs, or are you do something with yourself? What? - It's a simple question.
If we go to the trouble to - "Trouble"? Man, what trouble you got, Mister? What, a bad conscience? I'm in here on life without parole! And you want to compare trouble? You know what? I didn't come here for his.
Forget it.
Yeah, walk away! I've been wasting my time worrying about you.
You're worried about me? You're worried about you! You don't know nothing 'bout me! I've been in here! Where you been?! - Nice.
- Whatever.
Get outta here! It's all about guilt or innocence.
You don't have to like him.
You wanted to talk to someone about Stanton Claybourne? Yes.
I worked with him for two years.
You've got to be kidding me, 'cause you're way too young to work with Stan.
- How can I help you? - Albert Claybourne.
Julie Frost.
Stan was my uncle.
You heard about the accident? Yes, I am so sorry.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you very much.
I was overseas in the peace corps when I heard the news.
So much death and destruction over there, and then I come back here.
It's surreal.
- I'm sorry.
- Thank you.
Anyway, my mother, feeling suddenly kind of Bereft? - And you were a science major? - Minored in english.
Ah, well, there you go.
Anyway, mothershe doesn't have many keepsakes of Stan, and she remembered at he once told her that he had all these personal items photos, documents in a folder at his old workstation.
- I can check.
- Could you? Yeah, it might take a few minutes.
Actually, could I go with you? I know it sounds strange, but I've been going all the places where Stan spent his last few months.
Yeah.
- Come on.
- Great.
That would be somewhere around here.
There? Right there.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
I think I had too much coffee this morning.
- Is there a, uh - Second door on your left.
Thank you so much.
Okay, so I need to see that the name of the National justice project.
- Sonya? - No, Brianna.
May I give Sonya a message for you? Brianna, this is important.
Why are you talking like that? Listen, call Hayden county lab.
Ask for Julie Frost and keep her on the line for five minutes.
Why? You're dealing with public officials, Jon.
You can't bluff your way out Much better.
Nothing yet.
Nothing? Julie, I really appreciate that.
Oh, wait.
- I'll be right back.
- Sure.
I'm not going anywhere.
not going anywhere.
Ooh, Donald Brooks, Donald Brooks, bingo.
Perfect, perfect.
Yeah.
Excuse me? Hi.
Uh, just looking for the bathroom.
Security? I got better, I got better Yeah, well, that's, uh that's good work, Jon.
Yeah, those are really helpful.
I don't Jon Lemonick, my office, now! David Swain has insisted the national justice project upholds the law in pursuit of its cases.
Then how do you explain this, Mr.
Swain? One of your interns breaking the law.
Damn it, I hate seeing that woman gloat! I thought it was the only way to get Claybourne's hair analysis.
Great initiative, lousy execution.
David, we need every investigator we got.
I know that, Charlie.
See if you can find someone quick.
Put some feelers out, will ya? Wait, are you saying that Jon, I'm going to give you some words of advice, words that helped me the most when I was first fired.
Use this to grow.
You think? Yeah.
Did they, uh, fire you? - Yep.
You happy now? - No.
I mean, you're not the most pleasant person to work with, but Brianna, please, just not now, okay? Okay.
- Brianna.
- Did you, get my file on Claybourne? - Yeah.
- It's unbelievable.
I mean, the guy flunked organic chemistry in college.
I mean, how any crime lab could hire that guy is Yeah, I read it.
Good work.
Listen, we may have some movement on Brooks' alibi.
I want you to talk to Kendra Brown, okay? So phone me before you make any moves.
Why? If the case goes away, things may change.
- Let your brother have a turn! - Okay, Mama.
So you're saying that you were with Brooks at the time of the crime? Oh, yeah.
We were at my old apartment on Brookmire.
And you would testify to that, I mean, now that Dante's in jail, right? No.
What? Why not? Look, you don't know Dante.
I can't testify.
He can be really scary Well, what if I just type up an affidavit and you Look, I'm not getting involved! Kendra, please.
I mean, ms.
Brown - I said no! Ask me again, and I'll say he did it.
Lily, let's get in the house.
- Hey, you got Kendra's affidavit.
- Yeah.
- That's great.
- No.
I mean, it's her statement, but she won't sign it.
We need th signature.
You gotta get it.
Conti.
What? The bottom line the crowbar burglaries continued for eight months after Brooks was arrested.
They didn't stop until police collared this guyLester Green.
The prints from three previous burglaries matched Green's.
What do you see? Police sketch looks more like Green.
Leah Sanders I.
D.
ed the wrong man.
- This is a nice place.
- Thank you.
Honey, this is Mr.
Conti and Miss Quintano.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Thank you for meeting with us, mrs.
Sanders.
- It's Phillips now.
- I'm sorry.
Of course it is.
How long have you been married? - Uh, four years.
- Four years and three months.
Brett was my grief counselor in the hospital.
I think it's fair to say Leah's first marriage was strained by what happened.
I don't think Clark But I always thank God I had Brett and my church.
Well, mrs.
Phillips, uh, as you know, we believe that Donald Brooks may not have been the man who attacked you.
Your statements at the time understandably were a big vague.
Mymy memories came and went at first, but I know who attacked me.
You know, sometimes our minds play tricks.
We get an image in our head, and we don't want to let it go until we see the true image.
Please, take a good look.
Have you ever seen that man before? No.
Mrs.
Phillips, that is the crowbar burglar The man in the sketch the police showed you.
I've never seen this man before in my life.
Hey.
Oh, hey.
Just getting the rest of my stuff.
- Right.
You miss it.
- What? You miss it here.
I mean, you're like one of those, college grads who keeps hanging around campus.
Now you're just offending me is what you're doing.
Okay, good-bye.
So who's on the hair? Uh, well, no one, I mean, not after what you did.
They tightened security.
You know, maybe there's something I can do.
You know, maybe there's still a way to get in there and get that hair sample.
Why would you do that? Because to get my job back, to show Swain what I can do.
Okay, you know, Jon, there are a lot of things that I hate about you but that has got to top the list.
- You don't even know what you did.
- OK, then fine.
Why don't you tell me? Okay, okay, fine.
Why are you doing this? Is it for you, or is it for him? Look, that is Donald Brooks.
Did you even read about him? Did you know that they put him in solitary confinement because he wouldn't clean his cell? He said it wasn't his home, and there are a lot of convicts that call their cells their homes, but he wouldn't, because he didn't belong there.
So why don't you just, uh, keep that file and figure out why you're doing this? Mr.
O'Brian? Hi.
Sonya Quintano with the national justice project.
- Nice to meet you.
- Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know they still made those.
Yeah, curse of my dad.
He liked things that make you sweatold-school stuff.
Yeah.
Like I told Conti, this stuff may not help.
Well, thank you.
We'll let you know.
Well, that's okay.
Don't bother.
Excuse me, mr.
O'Brian? I hope you don't mind, but Conti told me about what happened with mr.
Brooks.
Yeah.
My brother did seven years for a murder he didn't commit, so I know a little something about how the innocent do time.
Mr.
O'Brian, they're angry.
Look, the guilty they learn how to do their time.
They know that fighting it only makes it worse, but the innocent They never lose the fire.
It burns them every day.
Thanks for coming in, mr.
Sanders.
- Oh, hey, no problem.
- Oh, oh, watch out.
When my ex-wife Leah phoned, said she was helping you guys.
- I thought I could help.
- Yeah? So how is she? Leah? Oh, I she seems fine, you know, happy, I guess.
Leah loves Brett, and he sure loves her.
Is thatI mean, is that an issue for you or Oh, no, no,I'm happy for Leah.
It's just, you know, a guy steals your wife Yeah, whatever.
You know, I've moved on.
Yeah, she said you remarried.
Yeah, oh, kelly.
She is the best thing that ever happened to me.
That's David.
He's almost 5.
- Yeah, that's a nice-looking family.
- Thanks.
Here, have a seat.
Well, as I said, uh, we think your wife identified I'm sorry, your ex-wife identified the wrong man.
Uh, we know she didn't pick out Donald Brooks the first time she saw his photo, so No, uh, this detective well, there were two of them, actually.
They must have gone through, like, 20 pictures before they came back to him.
- Really? What did they say? Do you remember? The second time? I don't know.
"Leah, take a real good look.
- "Do you see the man here?" - But she didn't pick him out.
What did they say then? I think one of them said something like, "then why don't you take a second look at this one?" Well, I guess what you're telling me here, uh, is that your wife was coached.
Didn't think I'd see you again.
Well, look, I I didn't like what you had to say before, but I've been doing some thinking.
Maybe I have a better understanding now.
So if I said anything to offend or upset you, I'm sorry.
That's it.
Wait.
You came all the way down here to tell me that? To apologize 'cause I jumped on your ass? Yeah.
Have a seat.
Donald, you have any family, anyone I can contact for you? Well, there must be somebody.
A girl.
She visited me the first year, but Your girlfriend? My daughter.
Her mother probably took her back East of somethin'.
I don't - Well, what's her name? - Let me ask you somethin'.
I mean, don't get me wrong.
I mean I do appreciate what you're doing, but what do you care? What do I care? Well, you're gonna find this hard to believe, but we got a great system in this country.
And in your case, it failed.
And what happened to you, it's not right.
It's it's un-american.
I'm sorry, man.
What? I think me and you live in two different countries, man.
No, we don't.
We don't.
Because when I was your age, I didn't have two nickels to rub together, nothing.
That's the truth.
And I worked at a car wash, and now I own eight of 'em.
And the same thing could happen for you.
- Washing cars? - Well, why not? It beats selling drugs.
I mean, what do you plan to do if you get out, anyway? I don't know.
Wow, if it isn't Albert Claybourne back from the peace corps.
First of all, I'm sorry.
I just Whatever you want to say, I don't need to hear.
My real name is Jon, and I work for I worked for the national justice project.
My supervisor explained all that to me right after he scolded me about lab protocol and letting liars into the records room.
I'm sorry.
That almost sounded authentic.
It is authentic, okay? I blew it.
I just Julie, I got fired yesterday, and I need five minutes of your time.
That's it Five minutes.
And then you'll never have to see me again, okay? What did you want to get from me the other day? Evidence Claybourne was corrupt.
And what are you doing here now? Julie, I need the hair evidence that convicted our client.
Why? Because we believe it was used to convict an innocent man, Julie.
Why do you care? I mean, if you were fired, why do you care? Uh, what do you Look, it's not easy for me to say these things.
I don't like people who wear their hearts on their sleeves.
And I'm surrounded by them all day, so But I really want to get this guy out.
Wow, when you go honest, you really go honest.
What do you think of my sweater? I like it, I like it.
I think your scarf's a little much but Okay, okay, that was too much.
I can't give you the hair sample, Jon.
Right.
But I can tell you whatever you want to know about Claybourne, and that's it.
I think one person losing their job is enough for one day.
- Good, thanks.
- Sure.
Let's get some coffee.
So Claybourne got caught faking a sample? No, no, he was trying to do a DNA match of a blood sample on a murder-rape case, and everyone was shocked when the D.
N.
A.
said that a local cop was the rapist, but it turns out that Claybourne had handled the blood sample during a routine police physical, and so he cut down the blood sample to fit to the P.
C.
R.
He never sterilized his scissors, so when he came back later to cut the killer's blood from some crime scene evidence, he transferred some D.
N.
A.
from one to the other.
That's unbelievable.
It was a huge mess.
We almost arrested the wrong man.
Claybourne, you know, wasn't a bad guy.
He just was lazy and not that smart.
Julie, if this could have happened in this case, don't you think it could have happened in ours? I am not stealing the hair sample for you.
- But don't you think that - No, I can't! Claybourne was fired.
He's gone.
Yeah, but Donald Brooks isn't.
He's in prison.
He's in prison for life without parole.
This is wrong, Julie.
No, don't tell me what's wrong, Jon.
Will you at least just read this? Read this.
Please take it.
Donald Brooks he's our age.
As long you and I live, he's going to be staring at a brick wall.
You can free an innocent man.
All right, so it's not the death penalty.
- Is it the pro-choice thing? - Is this important right now, David? '- Cause it's getting really old.
- No, not really.
I mean, it's just life.
A small thing.
Where are we on the hair evidence? Brianna has a lead.
All right, what about the new hire for Jim? - It's Jon.
- Jon.
- Yeah.
I'll get on it tomorrow.
- Okay.
I'll tell you one thing.
I wasn't the one beating on no pregnant lady's head.
I don't know, Lester.
This police sketch looks an awful lot like you.
See, man? Man, Lester's a lover, not a fighter.
I'm only in here 'cause some brother snitched me out.
Other than that, cops never had a thing on Lester.
Lester left fingerprints, so Not on that one, 'cause I wasn't there.
Look, that wholehing don't match my M.
O.
I use crowbars to pry windows, not break 'em.
Wanna reak a window, bring a rock whole lot easier to carry, don't you think? Whoever pulled that job was a low-rent imitator anyway.
Well, that may be, Lester, but I don't think a judge would look at it that way.
When was that date again? February 2nd? I was in L.
A.
That's my grandma's birthday.
We throw a big party for her every year, video and everything.
Y'all should check it out.
I enjoyed the conversation.
Don't get many visits.
# Yesterday I got lost in the circus # # feeling like such a mess # # now I'm down, " # I'm just hanging on the corner # # I can't help but reminisce # # so when you're gone # The crowbar burglar, Lester Green? Nope, his alibi checks out.
All right, what else? Anything else? I got the hair found at the crime scene.
Hair is not like D.
N.
A.
Our knowledge is limited to whether the sample is negroid, mongoloid or caucasian.
And that's it? And we can tell what body part it comes from.
Beyond that, essentially it's educated conjecture.
What about these hairs, doc? - Who is this fellow Claybourne? - Crime lab technician.
He's dead.
Good, because if he wasn't, he should be shot.
Those are not negroid scalp hairs.
- They're not? Those are caucasian pubic hairs.
- You're certain? - Absolutely.
We got a habeas petition to write.
Claybourne cooked his report, huh? Yep, to support the cop's case against Brooks.
Well, any change-of-custody issue? No, it was solid.
The seals were intact.
What? - The pubic hairs belonged to.
.
- The husband.
But there's nothing unusual about finding hairs in the bedsheets.
Right.
What about the fingerprints at the crime scene? I didn't think there were any.
I mean, only the elimination prints of the husband and wife.
Right, and what did Lester Green say about the break-in at the Sanders apartment? It was copycat.
Everyone knew his style.
It was in the papers along with the sketch.
What? You know, sometimes you stare at a map and the name of the country's written so large you don't even see it? - See what? - Grab your coat.
- Yes? - Hi.
Mrs.
Sanders, hi.
We represent Donald Brooks, the man convicted of attacking Leah Sanders.
May we come in? - My son is napping.
I, um I, uh, I love your pin, is that antique? Yes, thank you.
Um, Clark, my husband, it belonged to his mother.
Can you tell us when you began dating Clark? Yeah, we're just trying to establish a timeline.
Well, it wasn't until after Leah was attacked.
I can tell you that.
- Well, that's weird.
'Cause, uh, we stopped by your work, and that's not what they said there.
Yeah, you started working with Clark eight months before the incident, and they said you were pretty friendly from the start.
We liked each other, yes, but we didn't fool around.
What are you suggesting? Before the incident, did Clark ever mention how much better life would be if Leah weren't around? - I think you'd better leave.
- Mrs.
Sanders? Yeah, come on, it's not I don't know.
I mean why would Clark want to kill Leah? Why not just get a divorce? As a cop, I stopped asking myself those kinds of questions.
Okay, but Leah said that she was attacked by a black man.
No, Clark said she told him that in the car.
It's just his word.
Trust me, trauma victims can be led to believe that black is white.
Hmm, or white is black.
The pin! What? The pin.
Hold on, hold on.
What are you talking about? Oh, hold on.
Look at that.
That's the list of the things that were stolen from the Sanders' apartment six years ago, and look at, uh, number five.
"Gold necklace with peacock pendant, studded with diamonds and rubies.
" He had it reset.
Well, would you want to get rid of a family heirloom? Wait, here he is.
What the hell are you doing here? Calm down, mr.
Sanders Hey, you're spying on me, man.
You're talking to my employees.
- No law against that.
- What's your problem? You bothered my wife and my family.
Hey, you want to tell us what your wife is doing with a stolen piece of jewelry on her sweater? I don't I don't know what you're talking about.
