00:00The motive seems pretty clear, but can we actually place Norton at the crime scene?
00:04The housekeeper saw someone fitting his description in front of the house around the time of the killings, and the video backs that up.
00:10And the sweatshirt in the video was in Norton's tent when he was arrested.
00:14We booked him on murder too.
00:16You think that's the appropriate charge?
00:18I don't. Evidence shows Norton went to the house to talk to the judge, not to kill anyone.
00:23When he realized she wasn't home, he got into some kind of argument with her husband, and he grabbed a golf club and hit him.
00:29You're saying this was a heat of the moment killing?
00:31An idealistic student who let his emotions get the better of him. Legally, that's manslaughter.
00:35Murderous intent doesn't require a lot of deliberation or planning.
00:39That's why it's murder too.
00:41I disagree.
00:43A New York Supreme Court judge was the target of Norton's anger.
00:47He went to her home. He was unwanted and uninvited.
00:51I want to send a message that going after a judge or a judge's family member has extreme consequences.
00:56Charge murder one.
