Shdrove home, parked her car in the garage and hid it since the accident.
Honesto God, I't know how peop live with themselves.

For now, let's arge her with ress homicide and leaving the scene.
The judgwill probabl only sentence on one, but either way, it's a C Felony-- two to eight.
The husband just buried his wife.
I'm guessing he'd pfer the eight.
JUDGE: Miss Gilcrest, to the charges of reckss homide and leaving the scene, how do you plead Um, innoce.
Not guilty, Your Honor, on both counts We'd ask tt e be released without bail.
She has noriorord a kind, and is neither a danger nor a flight risk.
She was both a danger and a flig risk the gh she killed Ke Stens and left the scene.

ss Gilcrest feels terrible.
Drop the reckless.
She'll ple no contest to leaving the scene.
sa you theime and expense of a tri; she does twoears.
That's barely a slap.
e spd she iving alone makes it rkls homicide.
I mean, she launched that poor womaover h car, Jerey.
She says she t some cd medication, was a little out of it, lost contr of the vehicle.
That doesn't change the fact a woman is dead because of her.
e ft the scene; e hi the cahe didn't reportt.

Whathe hell is she doing with the husband of the woman she just hit and killed? Ishere anythg you forgot to tell me, Mr.
Stevens? Think veryarefully before you answer that I don't undetand.
I don't think .
Why are you in this photo with the wom whran down your wife? Oh, God.
I di'tnow it was Lisa the night it happened.
It was dark.
The car came of nowhere.
I didn't know who was driving the car until I saw her in court yesterday.
But you didn't saanything then, either.
coul't in front of my mother-in-law.
We just buried Kat that morning.
So you were obvisly involved with Lisa? My wife and I had rough patc our marri Lisa and I had a short-term thing.
I broke it off a few weeks ago, went back to Kate.
Did Lisa make y threats athe time? No.
She waveryet.
But I never though shwould do something like ts.
I'm shocked, horrified.
Rumor ha you're intereed imy job.
Please.
Does this like the face you wt to see on an election poster? Yeah, you t pothere.
Listen, we've got a situation on the Coles case.
They're going to cerfy an appeal.
I supervisedaureen on that.
It was a solid conviction.
Well, the key witness against Coles is now ciming she told him what to saon ttand.
He's recng everything.
And they're accusing Maureen of suborning perjury.
What? chard, Maureen'sorked for me for ten years and never nt a re, t alone broken one.
Thguy isying.
Maybe so, but we have handle this whole thing without a whiff of impropriety.
w I ink we should brinin outside cosel to invesgate.
at's a mistake.
u and I both know these ys come in with aagenda to fd something.
I dot see that we ve much choice.
Now we suld insute ourselves against th, st in case.
Give me a couple of days.
Let look to it firs Maureen deserves that respec You know, if ty can make this stick, it wouldt just be her job.
She could faceharges, Steve.
Every case she's tri, that you'vtried as her boss, for the past ten years, would be called into question.
I had to reschedule a urt appeance.
I assume you're ready to talk about a plea al Just need clear up a w cts before we can talk about resolvis.
Okay.
Lisa, did you kn thwoman u hit? No.
I keep telling you it was an accident.
Did you know her husband? No.
Thank you.
That's everythg I need to refilehis ca as a murder.
What are you talkingbout Let me give you a visual, Jeff.
This is an eargement of photo that was found in your clnt's purse when she was arrested.
Personally, it would sm to me that Ran was the o who had it comin n her.
maybe youanted to take them both out.
It wasn't like that.
What was it like? Don't answer that.
Did he tell you he led you? did.
Hes.
Lisa, st.
I need to speak to my client alone.
I'll be right outside.
Of course remember it.
We liked Coles for thr otr killingsefore this, and we were fiy able to nail him.
It's been five yea.
It a little late in the game for a witness to be canting.
I know.
But that's exactly what's happening.
Ste, Coles executed a rival drug dear.
He pulled him from his car and shot him point-blank the times.
had an eyewitness.
The jury convicted Ces.
It's testimony.
If we can't prove there was no prosecutorial misconduct, thenoles' conviction could be overturned.
And my career would be over.
Is there anything else I nee to know abouthese accutions? You can tell me on the cord or off.
I stand by the facts of the case.
Everything was by the book.
You undersnd I he to a theseuestions.
I understand.
You do what you hao do.
Has your cli agreed to cooperate? In a limited fashion.
Meing what? Meaning you need to limit your question to her relationship with Mr.
tevens and steer clear of the accident.
Oh, come on, Jeffrey.
Let's stop calling this an accident.
Your cent ran over her yfriend's wife.
Why don't you just hr what she haso say? How lo were you invoed with the victis husband? I met Randy about a year ago while we were waiting line at Starbucks.
He just started talking to me anwe became friends.
Anwh did tt friendship become something more? Not lo after wmet.
I knew I was falling in love.
We both knew.
Let me guess.
He told you he loved you, but he loved hisife mo, and you couldn't accept that, right? No.
That's part of thclich, Lisa.
They never leavehe w I am t wife.
Ray and I have been married for three nths and I have aicense to ove it.
much for the "I was loopy on cold medicion d lost control ofy car defense.
No, I checked.
They're definitely married.
How is that even possible? I mean, how could they get the second license and everything? There's no central database.
If they were married in a different couy, it not tracked.
I guesbeing a traveling salesm has its upside.
TTS: Upde? I can barely deal th having one wife.
I can't imagine why he'd want have two.
Think he useagra? Prozac's more like it.
So where are we? anthought a daof shoppinged he was having an affair.
Kate STE: Jeffres no schmuck.
Hel painher the cheed-on wife and then try tplea us down to malaughter.
tually, he wants us to go all the y down to the onal arge: ckless homicide.
He says his client didn't mean to kill anyone.
She just drove at them in a momentary rage and tried to swerve away the lasminute.
She's still claiming this is an acciden You've got to be kidding.
Yeah, well, that's her story.
And if the jury believes her, she could t in as little atwo ars.
want her for murder.
So we needo prove intent and planning.
I'llee if I can track down whoever calledn those ple mbers to the tip line.
Maybe they'll remember somethg else.
And find out how Mr.
Stens was ableo get away with ling a double life.
Good.
Ifisa knew bere that daat the mall, she's lying and we can make the case for murder.
Meanwhile, I'm gointo go pay a visit to our friendly neighborhood bigamist.
Is this really necesry? Thman justuried his wife.
One of his wives.
The innocent victim of his other wife.
You'll forgive me if my sympat is a little tempered.
Charging him with gamy isn't ing to change anof that.
Hel do sixonths and pay a fine, and for what, loving too muc The charge stands.
d I don't believe for a second that you didn't recogne Lisa was driving that night.
Th's false reporting and obstruction of justice.
What do you want from my client? The truth for a stt.
When did Lisa len that you re also married toate? Don't answer that.
We're done You wa to push hard on the bamy, fine.
Put a grieving husband through more hell.
kn you don't understand, but I lovethem both.
When I met Lisa, I knew rightway she was a nderful woman who hadn't bn appreciated yet.
But I loved Kate.
I di't want to leave"her.
You gave Lisa a sham mri But it wasn't.
Nothing abt it was a sham.
Love, honor, cherish I meant every word.
PITTS: No, no, no.
This iabout e hit-and-run.
to you the tip was phoned in on the seventh, pal.
Hey, listen, we're albacked up.
Welcome to the cb.
But I sent you a court order on this two days ago, and I want a copy of the tape ASAP! Thank you.
Jim Jenson? Ye, that's me.
I'm Associate Prosecuting Attorney Sharpe.
Can I speak to you a mite? This iabout that cas isn't it? The appealhing? Yes, it is.
Listen, I'justing to do the right thing here, okay? I don't want a more trouble.
You told the attoey f Coles that therosecutor, Maureen Scofield, to you what to say at the original trial.
Yeah I got bustedor possession.
She said it would away if I said that I soles shoot that guy, the drug dealer.
t it wasn'true Then why did you lie he jury? Because the prosecutor, Scield, said that if I didn't say exactly what she tolme to, at sheas going to nd me jail fodrugs.
Wereou there when Coles allegedly commted this murder? Yeah, I was there.
But I dn't see him do it.
I didn seeim shoot anybody.
I didn't see nothing.
Look, I lied to save my own skin, but I can't keep on lying.
There's an innocent man in prin.
Got it.
Hey.
ANNABETH: still can't establi that Lisa knew abouthe first wife before that night at the mall.
Pitts and I talked to coworkers, faly.
ing to suggest that she was on to his two-timing.
So we can't prove she went there intending to kill Kate.
o's your favorite instigator? Is thia trk question? I could be persuaded.
Who you got? I finally tracked down our telephone tipster.
And, can he help You might y that.
MAN ( on tape ): Yeah, that car that hi the poor lady out at Willowgate Mall lasweek? e plate number started with "3-4-B.
I think the last one was That sounds like Randy Stevens.
The one and only.
Our audio guys authenticated it.
He was in on the murder? Bring him .
We don't have enough to charge him withonspiracy ye You n prove obstruction.
And I can pre perjury.
Let's t him.
Come on,iss Chase.
How ny times you goi to drag me down hThis may dit.
You're going tbe staying with us for a little whi.
What? Hey! You're under aest r perjury and obstruction of justice.
You have right to remain silent.
is is crazy.
If you give up the righ I want my laer.
to rain silent, Call my lawyer.
anything you say can and will be used against you She murded your wife right in fro of you.
A few et to the side, she would ve killed you, too.
Why call i anymous tip? When did helping the police co a bad thing? He the hero here.
Yeah, right.
He's a qlity guy in ever It happened in a big blic parng lot.
I figured somedy must have seen what happened.
Theyould turn her in.
Bunobo ever did.
e impoant thing is, yohave the person who did this in custody.
And that's only thanks tmy client.
o has lied to me from dayne I was ashamed.
ay? I felt responsible for breaking Lisa's hear pushg her er the edge.
But e lled my swt Kate.
And I I coul't l her get ay with murder , how'd it gOh.
with Stevens? Uh, he's still playing the grieving, innocent husband.
Every time I talk to him, he's got a new spin.
Figures he'd be good at theine art of B Heidn't charm those ladies with his looks.
, he did admit that Lisa dre righat Kate.
Thatl maket easier to prove it wasefinity murder Why don't u tell her Randy's onur sidonhis.
Maybe she'll plead, save us the trouble and expense of a tal.
I'm on my way ere right now.
I'm hoping I can get her to implicate Randy, too.
I still think he was involved.
Okay, but u better hope she flips on him.
We don have anything to prove he was iolved in the actual murder withouher testimon I know.
I'm having Danny take apart his finans, his rk itinerary, motels, phone lo rentalars, everying.
the meantime, m gog too toss the bait in the water f Lis I'll let you know if she bites.
ANNATH: You might wanto nsider a guilty plea at this point.
e court wod take at into account during sentencing.
I told you, I-I didn't mean to hiter.
I was upset.
That'all.
jury will ner belie that.
And I'll subpoena ndy.
He'll take t sta and say that you didn't try tovoid her, but that you deliberaty ran down Kate Stevens.
But 's not true.
d that youad that you threatened tkill h.
ut Kate He won't dth.
Do you think he woul lie for you, Lisa? He's the one who tned you in.
No, I dot believe that.
You're jussang all this to scare me anget me to say what you nt me to, but I won't.
RANDY on tape ): Yeah, thatarhat hit the poor lady at Willowgate Mall lt week? The plate number started th "3-4-B.
" I thinthe la one w an "R.
" And,h, it waa Dynasty, blue.
You might have gotten away with this whole thing if it hadn'teen for him.
Lisa you are going to prison for murder.
If you confess now, it might not be for the rest of your life.
Wel get back to you.
Wh's going on? I spe the lead attornhe appeal.
ey want to talk to you on Thursday.
Since we're the good guys, we usually ask the queions, so I thought you should practice.
And I was able to g hold of this.
( sighs ): I give up.
What tre going after you with.
Evidently, at the time of the murder, there was a rcotics investigation goon, regarding the guy Coles sh.
They are gonna say you were aware he was a ral dler, and aly knew the mote for killing that you cla Jenson told you abt.
Claim? It's n a claim.
It's true.
I leard abou from Jenson.
Any way you caprove that? I shouldt have to pre it.
That is the firsthing they're gonna asyou under oath, and if you go off on tm, forget it.
You might as well go up to Micgan City and unlock Coles' cell yourself.
Now I'm looking into Jenson's situation toigure out what possible motive he might have for changing his story.
I am not abandoning you.
You ve tbelieve that.
And you have noarriaginformatn on Randy Stevens prior to 1995? Thank you.
County Clerk's Office, pe.
JEFFREY: If s tellsou everything, we'll need something big in exchange.
What you getepends on whaI hear.
It wasn't my idea.
ndy sa we cou make itook like an cident, d then we'd ha everythg.
Insurance, inheritance, just the two of us.
He told where they'd be.
What time they'd lea the mall.
ANNABETH: And he promid he'dive the wrong scription for the ca Mm-hmm.
He was gonna have fixed after, but he never di Randy said even if someoneaw, anI gocaught, if I said I didn't mean to kill her, I'd only get aouple of yea, and we'd be together aga.
NABETH Why would you along with this? I mean, why would you even want be involved wh a man who was capable of murdering an innocent woman? Sobody like you could never unrstand.
Meaning? Not evybody lolike you.
I thought fore I'd end up alone.
Always had been, so didn'tave much choice, did I? d then I metandy He was ne to me.
He listened to me.
He bought flowers every week.
Told me that he loved me.
He asked me to marry him.
I didn't want to be alone again.
Look, he clear prey oher, manipulated he into doing his dirty work.
's the rl monster here.
She'll tesfy agastim in exchange for a five-year term.
I don't care how ctimized she was.
Doesn't compare to t woman who's lying in cemetery right now.
Shmay not ve actedlone, but she kill someone.
and e passes a polygraph, or no deal.
Annabeth, I just found Ray even's first wife.
She waburied a week ago, Danny.
, his first, first wife.
Mr.
Stevens had another wife fore Kate.
She's , too.
His first maiage was in 1990.
Her nae of death?esa She was hiking onhe BrighAngel Trai in the Grand Canyon and fell? Oh.
We're filing murder charges against Randy for help to plan Kate's death.
They could have gotten away with it.
Why d he turn inife #2? Well, 're checking to see if Kate had some life insurae that he didn't want sre with Lisa, he tipped hers the killer.
I'm pret confident that's why his first wife took header into the G Canyon so he could get the insurae and move on tohe next one.
Hoch did t fst Mrs.
Stevens leave behd? $300,000 Randy was the sole beniciary.
Unfortunately, everying about thher dead wife probably inadmissible.
I know, I know.
at's why want the press all over this.
See if we can bring in any more information on this guy.
Good idea.
So, Lisa now claims she learned about Kate one month ago at theospital? ANNABETH: Yeah.
Mr.
Stevens checked into the hospil for a procedure on his knee, and both wives came in to visit around the same time.
PITT Which is wn his carefuy constructed double wife life collapsed on itself.
ANNABE: Lisa says she saw Kate leaving his room.
When she confronted him, he iediately and conveniently decled his undying love for her, d s heartfelt inntio to end this with Kate.
The hospit records do show that both women signed in and out rougy the same time.
STEVE: Dee strategy wi be to cim that Lisa's mangp everything about his involvement because she's pissed at her two-timing pseudo-huand.
m pretty sure the jury will find him even more despicable than thend her.
They'll want to believe her.
Randy's attorney, Brianna Holden, juiled a motion to supess.
To sess what? Lisa Gilcrest'testony againsRandy Stevens.
On what grounds? Spousal privilege.
She can't testify against her own and.
ANNABETH This is nothing but a deerate end run, Your Honor.
The second marage wasn't valid.
He never divorced his first fe.
The spousal privilege sily doesn't apply.
The death of a suse is sufficient grous to render a second marriage valid.
JUDGE RYKER: Nice try, but you're fgetting the timetable re, Counselor.
e second marriage wasn't postdated for ter the killing,nd neither were the communications you're trying to protect.
Regardless, the spousal privilege exists to strengthethe bo of trust between couples.
is is joke, right? I don't think your client can spell trust.
HOLDEN: Mr.
Stevs certainly considers Lisailcrest to bhis wife.
Thers no doubt they have the functional eivalent of common-law marriage.
Which the state doesn't recognize.
HOLDEN: We're not asking for anstate sancti.
Merely that the spirit ofhe notn remain.
Tocknowledge the priva interpersonal cmunication within a houhold.
The spirit of was violated the moment your clnt sd do" second time.
The privilege is grounded in the sanctity of marriage.
Nothing out this guy respects that satity.
y I finish? JUDGE RYKER: think I've heard eugh.
I'm big a fan of preserving thsanctity of marriage as theext guy, Miss Hden, but not here.
Your client is hubris incarnate And he is not going to hide behind therime of bigamy to help defend himself againsthcharge of murd Your Honor Sorry.
He's gna have face her in court Excuse me? m Annabeth Chase.
We mt the arraigen Are you okay? Yeah.
I thought I wanted to be here forhis.
Thought I uld it.
It all right.
I can't believ Ray wodohis.
I'm so sorry.
I s so hap when Katfinally found someone.
Maybe I should have looked harr.
No, you couldn't have know and Kate couldn't have known.
He's gonna pay for this, I promise.
Ye ANNABETH: And this was a month bere Kate Stevens was kied? at's right.
That'shen Ray ld me was also married to her.
But he said he was leaving Kate to be with me becae he rlized he loved me more ssilcrest, vorce isne thing, but why kill her? He said she refused to give him up.
That she would take everything, humiliate him, ruin his life.
And they throw him and me in jail for bigamy.
And you believed him? He said th'd never figure it out.
it was da, d lied about thcar, it would be perfect.
Nothing further.
Miss Gilcrest, when youearned that my client was the one who turned you io the police, were you surprised? Yes.
Because you were in love with him? s.
Were you hurt? Of course.
And is it fair to say you were angry? I was shked.
I couldn't believe it.
Yes.
I was angry.
HOLDEN But you dn't say anything about him being involved until u heard thate, correct? And that when you decided to get back at him by implicating him in e murder that youommitted.
No.
No! NABETH: Your Honor, please.
She'badgering the witness.
Sustained.
Was anyone else in the car? No.
it was only your ft on the gas ped? Of course.
And where was Mr.
Stevens t time? Standing beside the vict, holding her hand.
He was nrly killed himself, yet you want us to believe he was part of this whole thing? This is irlevantand prejudicial.
Opposing counsel seems to have forgotten that a cocspator to a murder need not be the trigger man or I withdraw the question.
How's the trial going? Coulbeetter.
Lisa took a bit of a beating I'm sure you're doing fine.
With it justeing word against his it leaves an aul lotf room r reasonable doubt.
Yeah, I hearabout Ryker not lowing you totion his first dead wife to theury.
Do you really thk heurdered he too? We, I did at first, but that theory didn't pan out.
There re witnesses to herall, so it really was an accident.
But also found out thathen he got the surance payoff, he went on a spending spree for thnext few years.
Uhcars, travel, nice restaurants.
Yeah? Looks like his finances we getting low the last couple years.
Exacy.
See, I think he'd grown accustomed to a certain lifestyle.
And then he remembered how much he enjod that big death benefit.
Sohe stagean accident for Kate.
Mm.
I guess some people don't believin divorce Makes you wonder what they all saw in this guy.
dot thk it's what ey saw ihim.
I think it's what he saw in them.
e loneliness, the vulnerability.
He's asychogical predator.
Well, it looks lik helways gets rid of one as soon as he's found the next.
And by turning Lisa in, this time he's getting rid of two of themce.
t that's what woies me, ureen.
Who is next? Annabeththers, uh, someone here to see you.
Who? , I don't know.
She said it's about the Stevens trial.
Okay.
Can I help you? , it's abo thitrial r Randy Sten They said that you were the one toalk to.
Yes, I'm prosecuting the case.

Did the defendant tellou whether he'd ever bn married before? s.
One time before.

Permission to redirect the witness, Your Honor.

Mr.
Jenson, u have a younger brother, Sael, correct? He was recently seenced for four years for armed rry? He doesn't have anything do with this.
He's got everything to do with this.
He's seduled tserve s time in Michigan City, the same prison as Rgie Coles.
Man, so what? That doesn't mean anything.
Your ttimony put Coles pson r murder five years ago.
Now your little brother is svingt the same priso There will be reprisals.
They will make your brother pay for your testifyg against Coles.

No one would listen to me.
I tried to talk to the police, the waen and the judge.
Nobody cared about my little brother.
Now, Coles' people made it clear th thewould kill Sam in prison if I didn't ke back my original statemen He'sust a kid.
