Tips Hotline, are you reporting a crime?
Good Morning.
Detective Michael Pitts,
Indianapolis PD.
We have a warrant to search your garage.
Watch your head.
STEVE: Two days ago, Lisa Gilcrest turned her Dodge
into a deadly weapon when she hit a schoolteacher
in a shopping mall parking lot.
I'm guessing Miss Gilcrest was under the influence,
panicked and fled this scene of the crime.
She was sober enough to try and save her own ass.
She drove home, parked her car in the garage
and hid it since the accident.
Honest to God, I don't know how people live with themselves.
Probably would have gotten away with it
if somebody hadn't called the tip into the hotline.
Does she have any priors?
No DUI's, not even a speeding ticket.
Tell us about the victim.
Kate Stevens, sixth-grade teacher, married, no kids.
STEVE: This is yours, Annabeth.
For now,
let's charge her with reckless homicide
and leaving the scene.
The judge will probably 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 prefer the eight.
JUDGE: Miss Gilcrest,
to the charges of reckless homicide and leaving the scene,
how do you plead
Um, innocent.
Not guilty, Your Honor, on both counts
We'd ask that she be released without bail.
She has no prior record of any kind, and is neither a danger
nor a flight risk. She was both a danger
and a flight risk the night she killed, Kate Stevens,
and left the scene.
What do you propose, Miss Chase?
$300,000.
Judge, this was an accident.
My client does clerical work.
She makes 30 grand a year.
JUDGE Let's say we do a Solomon.
Bail is set at 150.
Next case?
JEFFREY: Look, it was a tragic,
tragic accident.
and Miss. Gilcrest feels terrible.
Drop the reckless,
She'll plead no contest to leaving the scene..
Save you the time and expense of a trial; she does two years.
That's barely a slap.
The speed she was driving, alone, makes it reckless homicide.
I mean, she launched that poor woman over her car, Jeffrey. She says she took
some cold medication, was a little out of it,
lost control of the vehicle. That doesn't
change the fact a woman is dead because of her.
She left the scene; she hid
the car; she didn't report it.
Come on, she could have been drunk out of her mind
with a history of DUI's,
and you could only get her for eight years, max.
You saw her. She's a housewife, not a killer.
Five years, two suspended.
We're still investigating.
I'm not gonna agree to anything until I get all the facts.
Miss Chase
Hi, I'm Ray Stevens, Kate Stevens' husband.
This is her mom, Shirley.
I am so sorry for your loss.
We were wondering what happens next.
The driver's being charged
with reckless homicide and leaving the scene.
But I'm very confident of a conviction
My Kate was...
She was everything to me.
Sorry.
This has been very painful for all of us.
Do you think this is gonna be a long drawn-out trial?
Her attorney has already asked for plea,
so, no, I don't think so.
Oh, good.
I don't think we could go through that.
I want you to know I'm gonna make sure this is resolved
quickly and as fairly as possible okay?
Thank you.
Yes, thank you.
Any pills or bottles under the seat?
No. The crime scene tech inventoried everything
that was in the car,
and this is everything that was in Gilcrest's purse
when she was arrested.
You looking for anything in particular?
She claims she lost control of the vehicle
because she was on cold medicine
Check her Medical Records.
See if she was on any other meds that might interact.
Okay.
Okay, this is weird.
Something interesting
That's Mrs. Gilcrest, the driver.
What the hell is she doing with the husband of the woman
she just hit and killed?
Is there anything you forgot to tell me, Mr. Stevens?
Think very carefully before you answer that
I don't understand.
I don't think so .
Why are you in this photo with the woman
who ran down your wife?
Oh, God.
I didn't know it was Lisa the night it happened.
It was dark.
The car came out of nowhere.
I didn't know who was driving the car
until I saw her in court yesterday.
But you didn't say anything then, either.
I couldn't
in front of my mother-in-law.
We just buried Kate that morning.
So you were obviously involved with Lisa?
My wife and I had a rough patch in our marriage
Lisa and I had a short-term thing.
I broke it off a few weeks ago, went back to Kate.
Did Lisa any threats at the time?
No.
She was very upset.
But I never thought
she would do something like this.
I'm shocked,
horrified.
Rumor has it that you're interested in my job.
Please.
Does this look like the face you want to see
on an election poster for District Attorney?
Yeah, you got a point there.
Listen, we've got a situation on the Coles case.
They're going to certify an appeal.
I supervised Maureen on that.
It was a solid conviction.
Well, the key witness against Coles is now claiming
she told him what to say on the stand.
He's recanting everything.
And they're accusing Maureen of suborning perjury.
What?
Richard, Maureen's worked for me for ten years
and never bent a rule, let alone broken one.
The guy is lying
Maybe so, but we have to handle this whole thing
without a whiff of impropriety.
I think we should bring in outside counsel to investigate.
That's a mistake.
You and I both know these guys come in
with an agenda to find something.
I don't see that we have much choice.
Now we should insulate ourselves against this, just in case.
Give me a couple of days.
Let me look into it first
Maureen deserves that respect
You know,
if they can make this stick, it wouldn't just be her job.
She could face charges, Steve.
Every case she's tried,
that you've tried as her boss, for the past ten years,
would be called into question.
I had to reschedule a court appearance.
I assume you're ready to talk about a plea deal
Just need clear up a few facts
before we can talk about resolving this.
Okay.
Lisa, did you know the woman you hit?
No.
I keep telling you it was an accident.
Did you know her husband?
No.
Thank you.
That's everything I need to refile this case as a murder.
What are you talking about
Let me give you a visual, Jeff.
This is an enlargement of a photo that was found
in your client's purse when she was arrested.
Personally, it would seem
to me that Randy was the only one
who had it coming, not her.
maybe you wanted to
take them both out. It wasn't like that.
What was it like? Don't answer that.
Did he tell you he loved you?
He did..... He does.
Lisa, stop. I need to speak
to my client alone.
I'll be right outside.
Of course I remember it.
We linked Coles for three other killings before this,
and we were finally able to nail him.
It's been five years.
It's a little late in the game for a witness
to be recanting. I know.
But that's exactly what's happening.
Steve, Coles executed a rival drug dear.
He pulled him from his car
and shot him point-blank three times.
We had an eyewitness.
The jury convicted Coles.
on the strength of Jensen's testimony.
If we can't prove there was no prosecutorial misconduct,
then Coles' conviction could be overturned.
And my career would be over.
Is there anything else I need to know about these accusations?
You can tell me on the record or off.
I stand by the facts of the case.
Everything was by the book.
You understand I have to ask these questions.
I understand.
You do what you have to do.
Has your client agreed to cooperate?
In a limited fashion.
Meaning what?
Meaning you need to limit your question
to her relationship with Mr. Stevens
and steer clear of the accident.
Oh, come on, Jeffrey.
Let's stop calling this an accident.
Your client ran over her boyfriend's wife.
Why don't you just hear what she has to say?
How long were you involved with the victim's husband?
I met Randy about a year ago
while we were waiting in line at Starbucks.
He just started talking to me and we became friends.
And when did that friendship become something more?
Not long after we met.
I knew I was falling in love.
We both knew.
Let me guess.
He told you he loved you, but he loved his wife more,
and you couldn't accept that, right?
No. That's part of the cliche, Lisa.
I am the wife.
Randy and I have been
married for three months and I have a license to prove it.
So much for the "I was loopy on cold medication
and lost control of my 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 county,
it's not tracked.
I guess being a traveling salesman has its upside.
TTS: Upside?
I can barely deal with having one wife.
I can't imagine why he'd want to have two.
Think he uses Viagra?
Prozac's more like it.
So where are we?
Lisa says she just happened to be in the Parking lot after a day of shopping when she saw Randy with Kate and thought he was having an affair.
STE: Jeffrey's no schmuck.
He'll paint her as the cheated-on wife
and then try to plea us down to manslaughter.
Actually, he wants us to go all the way down
to the original charge: reckless 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 at the last minute.
She's still claiming this is an accident
You've got to be kidding.
Yeah, well, that's her story.
And if the jury believes her, she could get out
in as little as two years.
So we need to prove intent and planning.
I'll see if I can track down whoever called in
those plate numbers to the tip line.
Maybe they'll remember something else.
And find out how Mr. Stevens
was able to get away with leading a double life.
Good. If Lisa knew about the other wife before that day at the mall,
she's lying and we can make the case for murder.
Meanwhile, I'm going to go pay a visit
to our friendly neighborhood bigamist.
Is this really necessary?
The man just buried his wife.
One of his wives.
The innocent victim of his other wife.
You'll forgive me if my sympathy is a little tempered.
Charging him with bigamy isn't going to change any of that.
He'll do six months and pay a fine,
and for what, loving too much
The charge stands.
and I don't believe for a second
that you didn't recognize Lisa was driving that night.
That's false reporting and obstruction of justice.
What do you want from my client?
The truth for a start.
When did Lisa learn that you were also married to Kate?
Don't answer that. We're done
You want to push hard on the bigamy, fine.
Put a grieving husband
through more hell.
I know you don't understand,
but I loved them both.
When I met Lisa,
I knew right away she was a wonderful woman
who hadn't been appreciated yet.
But I still loved Kate.
I didn't want to leave her.
You gave Lisa a sham marriage
But it wasn't.
Nothing about it was a sham.
Love, honor, cherish...
I meant every word.
PITTS: No, no, no.
This is about a hit-and-run.
to you the tip was phoned in on the seventh, pal.
Hey, listen, we're all backed up.
Welcome to the club.
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?
Yeah, that's me.
I'm Associate Prosecuting Attorney Sharpe.
Can I speak to you a minute?
This is about that case isn't it?
The appeal thing?
Yes, it is.
Listen, I'm just trying to do the right thing here, okay?
I don't want a more trouble.
You told the attorney for Coles
that the prosecutor, Maureen Scofield,
told you what to say at the original trial.
Yeah I got busted for possession.
She said it would go away
if I said that I saw Coles shoot that guy,
the drug dealer.
But it wasn't true
Then why did you lie to the jury?
Because the prosecutor, Scofield,
said that if I didn't say
exactly what she told me to,
that she was going to send me jail for drugs.
Were you there when Coles allegedly committed this murder?
Yeah, I was there.
But I didn't see him do it.
I didn't see him 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 prison.
Got it.
Hey.
ANNABETH: I still can't establish that Lisa knew
about the first wife before that night at the mall.
Pitts and I talked to coworkers, family.
Nothing to suggest that she was on to his two-timing.
So we can't prove she went there intending to kill Kate.
Who's your favorite investigator?
Is this a trick question?
I could be persuaded.
Who you got?
I finally tracked down our telephone tipster.
And, can he help
You might say that.
MAN ( on tape ): Yeah, that car that hit
the poor lady out at Willowgate Mall last week?
The 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 in .
We don't have enough to charge him with conspiracy yet.
You can prove obstruction.
And I can prove perjury.
Let's get him.
Come on, Miss Chase.
How many times you going to drag me down here? This may do it.
What? Hey! You're under arrest
for perjury and obstruction of justice.
You have the right to remain silent.
This is crazy. If you give up the right
I want my lawyer. to remain silent,
Call my lawyer. anything you say can and will be used against you...
She murdered your wife right in front of you.
A few feet to the side, she would have killed you, too.
Why call in an anonymous tip?
When did helping the police become a bad thing?
He's the hero here.
Yeah, right.
He's a quality guy in every way.
It happened in a big public parking lot.
I figured somebody must have seen what happened.
And would turn her in.
But nobody ever did.
The important thing is,
you have the person who did this in custody.
And that's only thanks to my client.
Who has lied to me from day one
I was ashamed.
Okay?
I felt responsible for breaking Lisa's heart
pushing her ever the edge.
But...
She killed my sweet Kate.
And I...
I couldn't let her get away with murder
Oh, how'd it go 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 the fine art of BS
He didn't charm those ladies with his looks.
Well, he did admit that Lisa drove right at Kate.
That'll make it easier to prove it was definitely murder
Why don't you tell her Randy's on our side on this.
Maybe she'll plead, save us the trouble of an expensive of a trial.
I'm on my way there right now.
I'm hoping I can get her to implicate Randy, too.
I still think he was involved.
Okay, but you better hope she flips on him.
We don't have anything to prove he was involved
in the actual murder without her testimony
I know. I'm having Danny take apart his finances,
his work itinerary,
motels, phone logs rental cars, everything.
In the meantime,
I'm going to toss the bait in the water for Lisa
I'll let you know if she bites.
ANNABETH: You might want to consider
a guilty plea at this point.
The court would take that into account during sentencing.
I told you,
I-I didn't mean to hit her.
I was upset. That's all.
The jury will never believe that.
And I'll subpoena Randy.
He'll take the stand and say
that you didn't try to avoid her,
but that you deliberately ran down Kate Stevens.
But that 's not true.
He'll testify that you already knew about Kate, and that you threatened to kill her.
He won't do that. Do you think he would lie for you, Lisa?
He's the one who turned you in.
No, I don't believe that.
You're just saying all this to scare me
and get me to say what you want me to, but I won't.
RANDY on tape ): Yeah, that car that hit
the poor lady at Willowgate Mall last week?
The plate number started with "3-4-B."
I think the last one was an "R."
And, ehhh, it was a Dynasty, blue.
You might have gotten away with this whole thing
if it hadn't been for him.
Lisa...
you are going to prison for murder.
If you confess now,
it might not be for the rest of your life.
We'll get back to you.
What's going on?
I spoke to the lead attorney on the appeal.
They want to talk to you on Thursday.
Since we're the good guys, we usually ask the questions,
so I thought you should practice.
And I was able to get hold of this.
( sighs ): I give up.
What they're going after you with.
Evidently, at the time of the murder,
there was a narcotics investigation going on,
regarding the guy Coles shot.
They are gonna say you were aware
he was a rival dealer,
and already knew the motive for killing
that you claim Jenson told you about.
Claim?
It's not a claim.
It's true.
I learned about it from Jenson.
Any way you can prove that?
I shouldn't have to prove it.
That is the first thing
they're gonna ask you under oath,
and if you go off on them, forget it.
You might as well go up to Michigan City
and unlock Coles' cell yourself.
Now I'm looking into Jenson's situation to figure out
what possible motive he might have for changing his story.
I am not abandoning you.
You have to believe that.
And you have no marriage information
on Randy Stevens prior to 1995?
Thank you.
County Clerk's Office, please.
JEFFREY: If she tells you everything,
we'll need something big in exchange.
What you get depends on what I hear.
It wasn't my idea.
Randy said
we could make it look like an accident,
and then we'd have everything.
Insurance, inheritance,
just the two of us.
He told me where they'd be.
What time they'd leave the mall.
ANNABETH: And he promised he'd give
the wrong description for the car
Mm-hmm.
He was gonna have it fixed after, but he never did.
Randy said even if someone saw, and I got caught,
if I said I didn't mean to kill her,
I'd only get a couple of years, and we'd be together again.
ANNABETH Why would you go along with this?
I mean, why would you even want to be involved with a man
who was capable of murdering an innocent woman?
Somebody like you could never understand.
Meaning?
Not everybody looks like you.
I thought
for sure I'd end up alone.
Always had been, so...
didn't have much choice, did I?
and then I met Randy
He was nice 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 clearly preyed on and
manipulated her into doing his dirty work.
He's the real monster here.
She'll testify against him in exchange
for a five-year term.
I don't care how victimized she was.
It doesn't compare to the woman
who's lying in a cemetery right now.
She may not have acted alone, but she killed someone.
15 years minimum
and she passes a polygraph, or no deal.
Annabeth, I just found Ray Steven's first wife.
She was buried a week ago, Danny.
No, his first, first wife.
Mr. Stevens had another wife before Kate.
She's dead , too.
His first marriage was in 1990.
Her name was Teresa.
Cause of death? She was hiking on the Bright Angel Trail
in the Grand Canyon and fell?
Oh.
We're filing murder charges against Randy
for helping to plan Kate's death.
They could have gotten away with it.
Why did he turn in wife #2?
Well, we're checking to see
if Kate had some life insurance
that he didn't want to share with Lisa,
he tipped her as the killer.
I'm pretty confident that's why
his first wife took a header
into the Grand Canyon 15 years ago:
so he could get the insurance and move on to the next one.
How much did the first Mrs. Stevens leave behind?
$200,000
Randy was the sole beneficiary.
Unfortunately, everything about the other dead wife
is probably inadmissible.
I know, I know. that'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 the hospital?
ANNABETH: Yeah. Mr. Stevens
checked into the hospital for a procedure on his knee,
and both wives came in to visit around the same time.
PITT Which is when his carefully constructed
double wife life collapsed on itself.
ANNABETH: Lisa says she saw Kate
leaving his room.
When she confronted him,
he immediately and conveniently
declared his undying love for her,
and his heartfelt intention to end things with Kate.
The hospital records do show
that both women signed in
and out roughly the same time.
STEVE: Randy's best strategy will be to claim
that Lisa's making up everything about his involvement
because she's pissed at her two-timing pseudo-husband.
I'm pretty sure the jury will find him
even more despicable than they find her.
They'll want to believe her.
Randy's attorney, Brianna Holden,
just filed a motion to suppress.
To suppress what?
Lisa Gilcrest's testimony against Randy Stevens.
On what grounds?
Spousal privilege.
She can't testify against her own and.
ANNABETH This is nothing but a desperate
end run, Your Honor.
The second marriage wasn't valid.
He never divorced his first wife.
The spousal privilege shilby doesn't apply.
The death of a spouse is sufficient grounds 614d
to render a second marriage valid.
JUDGE RYKER: Nice try, but you're forgetting the timetable here, Counselor.
The second marriage wasn't postdated
for after the killing,and neither were the communications
you're trying to protect.
Regardless, the spousal privilege exists
to strengthen the bond of trust between couples.
This is joke, right?
I don't think your client can spell trust.
HOLDEN: Mr. Stevens certainly considers Lisa Gilcrest
to be his wife. There is no doubt
they have the functional equivalent
of common-law marriage.
Which the state doesn't recognize.
HOLDEN: We're not asking for any state sanctions.
Merely that the spirit of the notion remains.
To acknowledge the private interpersonal communication
within a household.
The spirit of which was violated
the moment your client said "I do"
second time.
The privilege is grounded
in the sanctity of marriage.
Nothing about this guy
respects that sanctity.
May I finish? JUDGE RYKER: I think I've heard enough.
I'm big a fan
of preserving the sanctity of marriage as the next guy,
Miss Holden, but not here.
Your client is hubris incarnate
And he is not going to hide behind the crime of bigamy
to help defend himself against the charge of murder
Your Honor...
Sorry.
He's gonna have to face her in court
Excuse me? You're Kate's mother.
I'm Annabeth Chase.
We met at the arraignment.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I thought I wanted to be here for this.
Thought I could do it.
It's all right.
I can't believe Randy would do this.
I'm so sorry.
I was so happy when Kate finally
found someone.
Maybe...
I should have looked harder.
No, you couldn't have known
and Kate couldn't have known.
He's gonna pay for this, I promise.
Yes
ANNABETH: And this was
a month before Kate Stevens was killed?
That's right.
That's when Randy told me he was also married to her.
But he said he was leaving Kate to be with me
because he realized he loved me more
Miss Gilcrest, divorce is one 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'd throw him and me in jail for bigamy.
And you believed him?
He said they'd never figure it out.
If it was dark,
and if he lied about the car, it would be perfect.
Nothing further.
Miss Gilcrest,
when you learned that my client was the one
who turned you in to the police, were you surprised?
Yes.
Because you were in love with him?
Yes.
Were you hurt?
Of course.
And is it fair to say you were angry?
I was shocked.
I couldn't believe it.
Yes.
I was angry.
HOLDEN But you didn't say
anything about him being involved
until you heard the tape, correct?
And that's when you decided
to get back at him by implicating him in the murder
that you committed. No. No!
ANNABETH: Your Honor, please.
She's badgering the witness.
Sustained.
Was anyone else in the car?
No.
it was only your foot on the gas pedal?
Of course.
And where was Mr. Stevens at the time?
Standing beside
the victim, holding her hand.
He was nearly killed himself,
yet you want us to believe he was part of this whole thing?
This is irrelevant and prejudicial.
Opposing counsel seems to have forgotten
that a co-conspirator to a murder need not be
the trigger man or...
I withdraw the question.
How's the trial going?
Could be better
Lisa took a bit of a beating I'm sure you're doing fine.
With it just being
her word against his it leaves an awful lot of room
for reasonable doubt.
Yeah, I heard about Ryker not allowing you
to mention his first dead wife to the jury.
Do you really think he murdered her too?
Well, I did at first, but that theory didn't pan out.
There were no witnesses to her fall,
so it really was an accident.
But we also found out that when he got
the insurance payoff,
he went on a spending spree for the next few years.
Uh cars, travel,
nice restaurants.
Yeah?
Looks like his finances were getting low
the last couple years.
Exactly. See, I think he'd grown accustomed
to a certain lifestyle.
And then he remembered
how much he enjoyed that big death benefit.
So he staged an accident for Kate.
Mm.
I guess some people don't believe in divorce
Makes you wonder what they all saw in this guy.
I don't think it's what they saw in him.
I think it's what he saw in them.
The loneliness, the vulnerability.
He's a psychological predator.
Well, it looks like
he always 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 them at once.
And that's what worries me, Maureen.
Who is next?
Annabeth there's, 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 about this trial for Randy Stevens
They said that you were the one to talk to.
Yes, I'm prosecuting the case.
Do you know Mr. Stevens?
I'm his fiancee.
Please state your full name for the record.
Nancy Jean Bilkens.
Where do you live?
Valparaiso, Indiana.
Um, it's two and a half hours northwest of here.
Nancy, what made you decide to come forward?
My mom called me at work yesterday.
She said, "Nancy, I just saw your fiancee on the news."
She said, "You're never going to believe this,
but Randy's on trial for murder."
I kept asking,
"My Randy? For murder?"
I bought a copy of The Courier
and there was a whole article about him.
you knew nothing about Randy Steven's other wives?
No!
My Lord.
I thought I was the only woman in Randy's life.
I mean, he gave me a ring
even got down on one knee and everything.
Did the defendant tell you
whether he'd ever been married before?
s. One time before.
He said his wife had died
and that he was a widower.
Did he tell you how she died?
He said that she was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
And when did he tell you that?
When we first met, six months ago.
Nothing further.
Your witness, Miss Holden.
Isn't it true that your mother
conducted a paid interview with a gossip magazine this morning?
She might have. I don't know.
Did you know your mother was paid $2,000
for selling your story?
She didn't tell me anything about that.
Do you live with your mother? Yes.
So you stand to financially benefit
from your testimony today, don't you?
Obction, speculation.
It is not speculation, Your Honor,
that the witness's family
goes hawking her story to the highest bidder,
and the jury needs to know that.
I'll allow it.
Permission to redirect the witness, Your Honor.
Granted.
Nancy, do you have a life insurance policy?
I do now.
I bought insurance after I got engaged.
Why?
Because Randy said that's what married couples do.
He said that we needed to plan
for our future together.
How much did Randy Stevens
tell you to have your life insured for?
$1 million.
And who inherits that money in the event of your death
Randy does
Was I next?
Obction Sustained.
ANNABETH: No further questions.
Knock-knock.
Is that it?
I think so. It took a little digging.
They're only half brothers,
so they don't have the same last name.
You gonna clue me in on what it's all about?
I already told you everything, and I talked to my lawyer,
and he said I shouldn't say anything unless he's here.
Mr. Jenson,you have
a younger brother, Samuel, correct?
He was recently sentenced for four years for armed robbery?
He doesn't have anything to do with this.
He's got everything to do with this.
He's scheduled to serve some time in Michigan City,
the same prison as Reggie Coles.
Man, so what? That doesn't mean anything.
Your testimony put Coles in prison
for murder five years ago.
Now your little brother is serving at the same prison
There will be reprisals.
They will make your brother pay
for your testifying against Coles.
That's why you're recanting.
Look, leave me alone.
You can't prove any of that.
You were fighting for your brother's life,
well, I am fighting for one of my best prosecutors.
This is her career. This is her life.
And it's all going down the drain because of your lie.
Now you work with me, and I will help your brother.
but if you continue to lie about this,
I swear to God, you'll both go to Michigan City.
No one would listen to me.
I tried to talk to the police, the warden and the judge.
Nobody cared about my little brother.
Now, Coles' people
made it clear that they would kill Sam in prison
if I didn't take back my original statement
He's just a kid. He got into trouble.
He shouldn't have to pay for my messed up life,
not with his own.
Randy Stevens is guilty of bigamy.
But that doesn't make him a killer.
Lisa Gilcrest murdered her rival all by herself.
And when Randy Stevens realized what Lisa had done,
he called the police and he turned her in
because he wanted justice for Kate.
Randy made mistakes. He's a lothario.
But he isn't a murderer.
Does the prosecution wish to re-but?
Yes, Your Honor.
We know who was driving the car that killed Kate Stevens.
Lisa Gilcrest was vulnerable...
and selfish.
and in the end vicious.
And she's going to jail for that.
But she didn't act alone.
This wasn't even her idea.
This was a team effort, ladies and gentlemen,
led by Randy Stevens.
The defense has told us
that his only crime is loving too many women.
But the defendant isn't capable of loving anyone but himself.
He's a narcissist and a user.
He preyed on women who needed his attention,
and who in turn inflated his own self-image.
He used them for his own ego.
He used them for money.
And when he was done with them,
he used them to kill each other.
That isn't love.
That's murder.
They withdrew the appeal.
I heard.
They didn't have much of a choice, thanks to you.
I also heard we're not pressing charges
against Jenson for lying
Only if that's okay with you.
Yeah, it is.
There's no point in that now.
And they're going to relocate the brother.
He'll do his time at Plainfield instead.
It'll also make it easier for Jenson to go see him.
Good. That's good.
Thank you.
No problem.
You'd do the same for me.
I would
It is my understanding
that the jury has reached a verdict,
Is that correct ?
Yes, Your Honor.
State of Indiana v. Randy Stevens
"We the jury, find the defendant guilty
"of the crime of murder,
a felony
The Court now enters a judgment of conviction.
Sentencing is set for two weeks from today.
The defendant is remanded to the custody
of the Marion County Sheriff.
ANNABETH: I just wanted to thank you.
He might have gotten away with it
if you hadn't come forward.
I hope he never gets out.
Well, he'll do at least 25 years.
For a guy like that,
locked away from women he can't use,
it's worse than torture
You gonna be okay?
Ye.
I mean I feel like a fool
for thinking Kate was the one.
No, you can't blame yourself.
He's a sociopath.
I'm just thankful
I found out before he got tired of me, too, you know?
, Me too.
I know you'll find someone who deserves you.
Someone you can trust.
Well, the trust part might take some time.
Meanwhile,
I'm thinking of pawning the ring he gave me
and taking a couple friends to Vegas.
We, I think that's a very good plan.
We, um... thank u for everything.
