Under Keller`s cross-examination, Cosgrove must admit that the hoodie he found may not have been the one the person was wearing and that there was no blood or DNA on the hoodie. Cosgrove mentions that the hoodie had probably just been washed and that he was a little nervous during the interrogation. Keller comments that what he is saying is that he has no evidence that Nicole committed this crime, just a bloodless hoodie that vaguely resembles the hoodie the person in the photo is wearing. Cosgrove counters that that`s not what he`s saying, adding that the woman in that green hoodie next to that dumpster is Nicole Bell, and since they found the murder weapon in that dumpster, Keller disagrees, says it`s speculation, and says Cosgrove has no personal knowledge that the person in the photo threw the gun into the dumpster. Cosgrove leans back on the seat and the judge upholds the objection and asks Cosgrove not to make any inference. Cosgrove apologizes and says he makes no inferences because the accused actually told her (Price and Maroun watch worriedly) that she threw the murder weapon into the dumpster when she confessed that she.. Keller disagrees, but Cosgrove tries to keep talking. The judge allowed the objection and summoned the defence lawyer to his chambers. The price seems dissatisfied. Ultimately, Maroun says that as a prosecutor, she is committed to abiding by state laws. But she understands the accused`s desire for revenge and justice.
She says her sister was raped and murdered in Georgia nine years ago. The police never arrested the perpetrator, but they knew who had done so. The police know this too, they simply could not prove it. She says it is easy to understand the anger and desire for revenge of the accused, their need for the son of a bitch to pay for what he did to him, to suffer as he made him suffer. When Henry King was released from prison, the defendant`s thirst for revenge intensified. Perhaps she even began to dream of killing him; Imagine she grabs a gun, goes to his house and waits for him to show up. She probably even planned what she would say and where she would shoot him. She adds that these fantasies are normal and also completely legal.
But taking another person`s life, waiting outside someone`s house and shooting them five times in cold blood, is not only wrong, it`s criminal. Just because you`re in pain and you`re full of anger doesn`t mean you can play God. She says that doesn`t mean they shouldn`t have a lot of sympathy for the accused or appreciate the pain and suffering she went through. She tells them that when they return to the jury room to deliberate, they should give themselves permission to feel sorry for her. She says that doesn`t mean she`s innocent, that she should run free. She adds that this case boils down to a simple question: Did Nicole Bell intentionally shoot and kill Henry King? If the answer is yes, they must condemn. Maroun finishes his closing argument and sits down. Back at the compound, Dixon tells the detectives that there was no GSR, blood or DNA on the hoodie, but it still brings them closer to the crime scene. Bernard states that Nicole`s subway map shows that she left and entered the 72nd Street subway station 3 times in the past week.
It`s about 4 blocks from Henry`s Brownstone. Dixon asks where Nicole lives, and Cosgrove answers West Village. His yoga studio is there too. Dani yells and says she received another blow on the person in the green hoodie, except you can see her face in it. December 9, 9:27 p.m., about 33 minutes before the murder. You watch the video and it`s definitely Nicole Bell. It sits on 74th between Columbus and Central Park West, about 2 blocks from King`s Brownstone. In Supreme Court, Part 21, on Wednesday, February 9, Price mentions the video they have of Nicole two blocks of Henry`s brownstone 30 minutes before filming, and the video of their two blocks of the brownstone in the same clothes and sunglasses, throwing the crime gun into the dumpster 5 minutes after the murder. He mentions the motive – revenge – when the judicial system let her down, she took matters into her own hands, got justice in her own way – in the Old Testament way. He says the evidence will prove that he did despicable things to her and that she had every right to hate him, but the evidence will also prove that on the day Henry died, Nicole grabbed a Sig 380 handgun, hid in a dark spot outside Henry`s house, and then shot him 5 times. He adds that Henry King committed heinous acts of sexual violence against the accused; He took things away from her that she will never find again. Unfortunately, for them, this has no influence on this process.
In the eyes of the law, when a good woman kills a terrible man in cold blood, it is called murder. As Price walks away. Nicole`s attorney, Keller, said the defense is waiving the opening for now. Price glanced at Maroun and the judge asked him to name his first witness. Five deleted scenes from this episode are now on my blog. I don`t think the link will work here, you may need to copy and paste. But I will try to add a link in the review above and it might work better!allthingslawandorder.blogspot.com/2022/03/law-order-right-thing-deleted-scenes.html What a review. Sometimes I wish there was a little more context that recognizes the development of the character. Jamie went from an ADA to a judge to an ADA? I would like her and Jack to share more than one look. I mean, his look spoke volumes.
You can also hear age in Sam`s voice. The show is lucky to have its retaliation. I like Price so far. It is good to have a balance between law and order again. Later, the judge asks the jury if it has reached a verdict; They were: convicted of second-degree murder. The blast rises from the courtroom gallery and Nicole is handcuffed by court officials. When she is taken away, she shouts to the spectators in the stands: “I did this for you! For all of us! Move on! Live your life! As people stand in the gallery and applaud, Jamie sits there, silent, with a pained expression. As some in the gallery shout, “Let them go! Let her go! His family looks and the judge strikes the hammer and calls for order. Maroun looks around, as does Price; He sees Jamie sitting there and says nothing, but looks desperate. It`s a consolation to read your summary and review – I enjoyed the show and am very curious to see how Bernard keeps Cosgrove in line and perhaps lights it up along the way – I hope for more from Lieutenant Dixon bc I`ve always loved Van Buren – I`m looking forward to next week It becomes clear to Stone and Robinette, that the Ryders think they are above the law because of their money and privileges.
Prosecutors are determined to win the case. They try to frighten Jonathan by threatening to charge his mother with perjury and complicity, but then discover that the Ryders paid the star witness to withdraw from the trial. When the whole affair is about to fall apart, Stone and Robinette are ordered by Olivet to question the Ryders` 10-year-old girl, but decide it is too risky to call her as a witness. Jonathan is finally convicted when Dr. Friedman testifies that Lois was actually wearing the inheritance pin on the night of the murder. After the trial, lawyers for Dr. Friedman`s wife contacted detectives; She wants a copy of her testimony to be used at her divorce hearing. Prosecutors are thinking tired of the fact that although Jonathan Ryder is now in prison, many others have the same sense of entitlement.
Back at the compound, Lt. Kate Dixon walks out of her office into the troop room and explains that she just dated the boss, the mayor before that and the prosecutor before that.
