Runaway Jury Page #8
in the brokerage house shootings.
Is that correct?
Yeah, that is correct,
and I did a stretch for that, too.
Now, to your knowledge,
was Vicksburg Firearms aware that
you were out there reselling their product?
No, not to my knowledge.
He flipped on us.
selling their guns in any way.
- Is that correct?
- Yeah, that's correct.
But I wish they had. I wish they had
endorsed me, like they did Kyle,
'cause I saw some pictures
he brought back from the trip he took
down to Cancun,
and, man, livin' it up down there.
I could've gone for some of that.
I wish they had sent me. I'd have been
on the beach right there with him,
looking at some big ol' butt thongs
and sipping on margaritas.
It would've been great.
- Simple answer, please.
And I want it on record here now, too.
I didn't have any idea what Peltier
was gonna do with that gun
when I sold it to him.
He was a wack job.
I wasn't about trying to get anybody hurt.
OK, I've retrieved some fragments.
I've got two things.
One:
List of registered voters for Cincinnati.Why would Nicholas Easter want
a list of registered voters in Cincinnati?
Because voter registration lists
lead to potential jury pools.
- What else you got?
- Well, this is from the drive's directory.
It's time-stamped
the day he got his jury summons.
He synchronized the data
on his drive to another device.
That's what you should've snagged.
Doyle, you're going back in, and this time
I want you to take Mr. Janovich.
Oh... Why do I have to take him?
Because Mr. Janovich can find anything.
I'm going for it.
Thank you, thank you. Watch this.
- Nick...
- Got one for me?
What's going on, Eddie?
You seem kind of gloomy. You all right?
Oh, no, no, I'm fine. You know,
I just got a lot on my mind, that's all.
You OK?
You wanna talk about it or anything?
I'm cool.
- Really.
- OK.
- Here's one more for you, Miss.
- Thank you very much.
Sorry, man.
I left my key inside.
Congratulations.
We got it. Let's go.
Janovich, you don't have to do this.
I said you don't have to do this!
Did you hear me?
Hey, guys. There's something
really wrong with Rikki.
I mean it. Come on!
See? Right there.
Come on, Rikki.
- Oh, God!
- Give me a towel.
Give me a paper towel. Paper towel, now!
Oh, that's nasty.
She's had five shooters.
It's no wonder.
- Call for help.
- What? She just had too much to drink.
- Call 911 now!
- OK, OK!
Damn!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Rikki.
- Is she breathing, Nick?
- Yeah, she's gonna be OK, I think.
I can't believe this.
Damn lucky the place
is still here and no one was hurt.
People can't move back into this place.
They got to Rikki Coleman.
The woman was president of the PTA.
She bakes cookies for her kids. And
whatever that son of a b*tch had on her,
he brought out the heavy lumber.
She swallowed a fistful of sleeping pills.
- Who's her replacement?
- Who's her...
Did you hear what I just said?
The woman almost killed herself tonight.
I'm sorry.
And they're putting the heat on the others.
Eddie Weese and Millie Dupree.
They torched my place tonight.
Well, at least we know
we have them motivated.
Oh. Here's the fun part.
They got the MP3 player.
Those files are encrypted.
Yeah, they're encrypted, but these guys
are good. They got teams of people.
You don't think they're gonna crack that?
We got three, four days, tops
before the walls cave in.
If we stay.
If we stay?
What do you mean, if we stay?
What are you saying to me, Nicky?
You saying to me you wanna run away?
- Is that what you're saying?
- Listen, Marlee.
- We're inside.
- No.
- No, I'm inside. You're on the street!
- Don't say that to me.
We're in this together, and it is your job -
it is our job - to protect ourselves.
Well, there's only so much
I can do, all right?
It's not just them that I worry about.
I can't protect you.
- Where are we with Rohr?
- He hasn't stepped up yet.
He will.
I mean, we knew I'd have to
go face-to-face with him.
It's OK. I can play him. I can...
- Set a date.
- OK.
We can't afford to lose any more jurors.
I know the math.
And we put Fitch on his heels right now.
This video is from a security camera
inside juror number nine's apartment.
Take a good look.
Oh, hi. The landlord let me in.
Lot of people had been
complaining about their cable,
I don't think you have...
Gentlemen,
this malfeasance will not stand.
Now, I don't know which of you
this man was working for, and I don't care.
But you are lucky I can't make out his face,
because if I could, I'd be inclined to
turn this matter over to the DA's office.
- Outside.
- Your Honor, I move for a mistrial.
No, Mr. Cable.
There is not gonna be a mistrial here!
Motion denied!
Not because of maneuvers like this!
Now, for the remainder of this trial,
our jury is to be sequestered.
Bailiff, would you please inform...
- The guy in the video...
- Yeah?
Set fire to Nick Easter's place last night.
- What?
- Set fire to his place last night.
- How would you know that?
- Because I was there.
You were there?
You went to a juror's residence...
- Yes, yes.
... without asking me?
I'm gonna tell you what.
Wendall, listen to me.
- We're done. We're finished.
- That's what you pay me for.
No, no, no, no. You're a young punk,
and you should've asked me.
- You're fired. You're...
- Nick Easter is spinning this jury.
That's why Fitch ransacked his place.
There's some kind of twisted power play
You're afraid, you go to the judge and
you tell him, they're gonna call a mistrial.
- The defense would love nothing more.
- That's right.
Why hasn't the defense
told the judge about Nick Easter?
Because they're really
gonna buy this verdict.
- Bastards.
- Celeste, behind you.
Hey, Celeste! Henry! Wham!
- Mr. Rohr...
- What's going on?
- That reporter just told me...
- Yeah?
She said something about a mistrial.
No, that's nonsense.
Don't worry about that.
- Well, she said the judge is gonna...
- No, no, now listen to me.
Let me explain something.
Everything's fine.
The judge has sequestered the jury.
You understand that?
And it's not unusual
when you have a heated trial.
- You said we had an excellent case.
- Yes.
When I met with you a year ago,
you said that
we could change the way
these people do business,
that my husband's life,
that all of those lives wouldn't be...
What?
- What's the matter, Celeste?
- I just need to hear it.
- Tell me we can win this.
- We can.
- We are gonna win it.
- OK.
- OK?
- Come on, Henry.
- Henry, you going to the park?
- Yeah!
I'll see you later.
How about we walk over
to Jackson Square...
I got Mr. Easter's list of potential jurors.
Boston, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
- What are the dates?
