Guilty as Sin Page #6

she overdosed on sleeping pills.

And another woman in Boston, who, uh,

well, she's on life-support systems...

after she O.D.'d on something.

And they're both

former lady friends of his.

He fixates on a woman and then--

He won't hurt you now. He needs you.

But, Moe,

he's planning something.

Now, look, Jen, you--

You be careful of this guy.

Moe, he had to have been

able to get back upstairs...

to kill his wife

with no one seeing him.

Oh, what did l do right?

Oh, l didn't feel

like being alone tonight.

That bastard.

He's really starting to get to you.

How can l help you?

You can't.

Thank you.

Oh, good morning. l want you to

know how l loved being in court.

You did very well.

Excuse me.

- Morning, Emily.

- Hi, Jennifer.

Good morning, Counsellor.

Did we oversleep this morning a little?

And State's Attorney Heath,

is this the original...

of the document

you received in the mail?

-lt is.

-May we mark this Prosecution Exhibit C?

And would you read the contents

into the record, please?

''lt's after 12:
00 now.

''He's arranged to be alone

with me in the apartment.

''l am not strong enough

to run away.

''l have given up all hope

or reason to fight back.

But if David succeeds, l pray

he will not go unpunished.''

And it's signed,

''Rita Elizabeth Greenhill.''

What did you do after that, sir?

- We sent it to the Criminal

lnvestigation Division...

- Something bothering you today?

-of the State Attorney's Office.

-Sure. The expression...

- on the jury.

- And they, in turn,

sent it to be authenticated.

-And it was therefore verified--

-Don't worry about it.

Diangelo just shot his load.

That letter's all he's got.

One painter's cap.

One dust mask filter.

And one pair of work gloves.

- That is 54.19.

- Okay.

- ls that cash or charge?

- Cash, please.

Okay.

Good morning, Mr Loo.

l thought Mr Greenhill and l...

could, uh, ride

downtown together.

Oh, Mr Greenhill

wasn't here last night.

But he asked me to put out

his clothes...

because he might want to change

before going to court.

- Uh, do you mind if l wait?

- Oh, no, please, feel free.

Care for coffee? l have some made.

- Uh, uh, l prefer tea.

- Of course.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Quite a responsibility

taking care of all this.

Oh, yes, indeed. Well, Mr Greenhill

is not so, uh, demanding to work for...

now that Mrs Greenhill is gone.

She, uh, she never gave

a person a minute's peace.

- Tea, right?

- Um, actually, no, l'm late.

Would you tell Mr Greenhill

l'll meet him at court? Thank you.

Well, this is a surprise.

Great, we'll split a cab.

- Don't you need to change?

- Don't l look all right?

Excuse me.

The way you were looking at me,

l thought there was somethin' wrong.

A little 5:
00 shadow, perhaps, but...

nothing that would turn the jury

against me, do you think?

You know, for the life of me, l can't

figure out who sent that damn thing.

- What?

- The letter, Jennifer.

l mean, they say it was sent

on the same day that Rita died.

But Rita never left

the apartment that day.

And the mail chute upstairs has been

out of use since the renovations began.

Well, you certainly wouldn't

mail any letter to the State's

Attorney's Office yourself.

Of course not.

Suppose the greedy nephew, uh,

sent it or one of the cousins.

They certainly know

what her signature looks like.

They've seen it on enough cheques.

Could l see a photostat

of the envelope?

Sure. Somebody ought

to be able to figure out...

which branch of the post office

this was processed at.

You will follow up on that.

Of course.

According to the postmark,

this letter was picked up somewhere...

Since there was an earlier

pickup at 2:
00, the letter

had to have been mailed...

- Objection. Argumentative.

- Rephrase, Miss Haines, rephrase.

By making an even greater enlargement

l was able to make a closer examination.

The-- The loops and

the angle of the letters...

now convince me

it is clearly a fake.

l apologize to the court.

Will counsel approach the bench?

What do you have to say

about this, Mr Diangelo?

Well, we've had our own people

examine the signature again,

and they now tend to agree.

We'll stipulate

it's not her handwriting.

Winning.

l'm talking about...

nailing that f***ing Greenhill to

the wall and his lawyer along with him.

Well, after that fiasco with

the forged letter, l would like that.

l got a phone call from one

of his girlfriends yesterday.

- She might have been in on it with him.

- She tipped us where to look:

behind the radiator in the basement

of Greenhill's own building.

We got the search warrant.

Pay dirt.

All the reports are back from the lab.

And there's no question.

David Greenhill

was wearing this stuff.

You're already under oath,

Lieutenant.

- Why are they recalling him?

- l have no idea.

Detective Martinez, would you go

to the exhibits table, please,

Some coveralls that used

to be white at one time.

A pair of work gloves.

A cap similar to that used

by a painter or plasterer.

A gauze face mask used

to filter out dust and debris.

May we admit these as Prosecution

Exhibits D, E, F and G?

And upon obtaining a warrant,

Lieutenant, did you search

Mr Greenhill's apartment,

and did you find

something of interest?

Yes. A pair of

Trevor-Norton shoes...

with the residue of plaster and

paint on the soles of the shoes.

Mark those Prosecution Exhibit H.

Where were the shoes found?

- Did you make an analysis

of the plaster?

- We did.

- And what did you find?

- Are those your shoes?

lt was similar in every way

to the plaster and other

construction materials being...

- No.

- No more questions.

Let him get it all out.

We tested the inside of the cap

for traces of human hair.

Did you compare your findings

to samples of David Greenhill's hair?

Objection. Prosecution made no request

for specimens of David Greenhill's hair!

With all due respect,

Your Honour. We didn't need to.

The investigating officer

found a comb and a brush

belonging to the defendant...

and we took the specimen

hairs from that.

The specimens seemed to have been

acquired under a legal warrant.

l suggest we continue.

Did you do similar tests

on the gauze mask?

We found minuscule particles

of human blood...

such as might be left if

the wearer had recently shaved.

The University of Chicago

prepared these charts.

Entered as Exhibits l

and J for the Prosecution.

Will you explain the chart, please?

The skin sample matches exactly

the defendant's DNA patterns.

- Did you put the gloves

through your spectrograph?

- Examination of the lining...

of the gloves showed traces

of an over-the-counter cleaning

product called Windex Spray.

ldentical to the solvent

present on the window...

through which Mrs Greenhill

was thrown to her death.

- Objection, Your Honour!

- Sustained.

We'll take lunch now.

- Go have lunch.

- We have to talk.

You heard me.

l brought you a sandwich.
