How to Get Away with Murder – part 2

?Hello
.I stayed up all night trying to think of a way to ensure we win this
.But I came up with nothing
?So, how about we go with your idea – and put you on the stand
?You sure
.100%Let’s win this
Ms.Keating, during the Medical Examiner’s press conference, she suggested that your client, Mr.Lahey, was not taking his anti-psychotic medication.Do you find that suggestion credible
.Not at all
.Mm.But the tests performed on Mr.Lahey showed no signs of these drugs in his system
Well, I’d like to talk to the person who ran those tests to see if they were encouraged to say whatever they needed in order to make that story stick
?What story are you referring to
.That Mr.Lahey was violent with the guards that night
?You believe they’re trying to cover up some sort of misconduct
.No, I don’t believe it I know it
.Not once did Mr.Lahey act violently in my presence
.My notes of my visits with him will prove this
.You can read them yourselves
.JUDGE CRUZ: Do not address the jury, Ms.Keating
This is a man who sat in the Supreme Court and listened to the most powerful judges in the world call him a monster, and not once did he make a sound
.That’s how together he was
So to believe that he suddenly picked a fight with guards on the last night that he knew he’d ever have to see them, how does that make sense
?Well, he was a violent criminal in his past. Who’s to say he couldn’t be violent again
He was violent only one time in his life, and that was during a severe mental-health episode
What those guards are hoping that you believe is the oldest, most racist stories in our country
.JUDGE CRUZ: I said no addressing the jury
Emmett Till, Scottsboro Boys, Central Park Five
!Judge Cruz: Ms.Keating
These false accusations all started with the same lie that black men are wired to attack white women.It’s a stereotype sewn so deep in the fabric of this country that they just know that you’re gonna ignore huge plot holes in their cover-up that the surveillance cameras were broken, or that an elderly man could physically overpower two 30-something guards when there’s only one true story here, that those two people right there wanted to punish my client for exposing the torture and abuse happening in our prisons
.Don’t address anyone in this courtroom
.So they slaughtered him
They shot a defenseless man in the head, – and here we are
[GAVEL BANGING]
another black man’s body being paraded in the court – and me having to beg for justice
?JUDGE CRUZ: Ms.Keating, may I remind you – that you are a witness here
.beg for you to see – him as a human being
I will not stand for this
Six people
.JUDGE CRUZ: grandstanding in my courtroom
!And you’re the only ones who have the power to do right. – So do right
JUDGE CRUZ: Ms.Keating! You are dismissed from the stand.The jury will hear no further testimony from you
Mr.Miller, no further questions
.Your witness has disregarded my warnings for the last time
.She may step down
?Asher.How’d it go
.How do you think? AK killed it
I-I like him for you.Miller.I know I’m not supposed to know, but, uh he was this big-mopey-beard-face when you were out sick, and, um, it was kind of adorable
.No one else here knows, Asher
.Yeah, and I won’t say anything
.I I’m happy for you
.I understand the jury has reached a verdict
.Yes, Your Honor
In the matter of Nathaniel Lahey Senior’s death, we, the jury, find no evidence of criminal acts or negligence by anyone involved
Accordingly, we concur with the Medical Examiner’s conclusion that the homicide was justifiable and that no charges be filed with the matter
.Thank you
.This inquest is closed
.Jury discharged
.I can leave if you’d rather be alone
.He deserved so much better
I know that’s not enough, especially with how you’ve always protected us from God knows what, but if there’s anything I can do yell at someone or organize a protest or just be angry for you please tell me
