00:57Going on 27 years.
01:00That's a long time to serve for a murder you and I both know he didn't commit.
01:11I have a court order authorizing me to collect a sample of your DNA.
01:17Bad idea coming here by yourself, don't you think?
01:19People know I'm here, Caleb.

03:01very prosecutor who wrongfully convicted madeline and her brother levi scott of the first degree
03:06murder of her best friend rosemary lynch are you nervous going up against the man who put you away
03:16no his approach in my case was so stunningly dishonest that any opportunity to show the
03:22world that our white knight state's attorney is really a corrupt liar is an opportunity i'm eager
03:27to take and that is your law partner easy boudreaux who i guess doesn't know we're recording curious
03:34what he thinks the headsets are for this is until proven innocent with violet price telling the stories
03:39of the wrongfully accused and the lawyers who represent them was it really necessary to
03:43antagonize bellows it's always necessary and it's fun fools give rise to their rage but the wise bring

05:10good morning your honor on behalf of petitioner we would like to submit
05:13newly acquired dna evidence your honor may it please the court the state withdraws
05:18its objection to the release of mr harvey burkbeck
05:22i realize this is somewhat unusual but in consideration of this new dna evidence
05:28clearly a mistake has been made contrary to what miss scott would have the public believe we
05:32prosecutors are also human beings objection assumes facts not in evidence
05:38quiet please mr bellows continue an injustice has been done this man has spent the better
05:46part of his life wrongfully imprisoned and it gives me no greater joy than to say
05:51it's time for you to go home the state moves to vacate mr burkbeck's conviction
05:56of murder in the second degree
06:01congratulations mr burkbeck you're a free man now case is dismissed defendant is discharged
06:16in the above entitled cause find the defendants madeline scott and levi scott guilty of the crime
06:25of murder of rosemary lynch
06:27no we're innocent
06:29where is this your honor please
06:31no no no your honor
06:34where is this your honor please
06:37well done maddie i always wanted to tell you that your case was never personal for me
06:43i was just doing my job and i honestly thought you were guilty in fact i still do
06:49bellows what does that snake up to bellows wants to avoid the humiliation and be the hero
06:59it's pretty clever actually the real question is why today's until proven innocent is being recorded
07:06at the performing arts center for our first annual injustice defense group fundraiser
07:15now the whole world knows that madeline got her bachelor's degree during her 10 years in prison
07:20and upon her release attended yale law school graduating top of her class
07:27but what most people don't realize is that her lawyer wasn't even a criminal defense lawyer when he
07:32took on her infamous case nope reinsurance regulation so what happened a truth be told i thought she was
07:40guilty like everyone else did then maddie sent me a letter the letter said please do not look
07:49away without at least hearing my story i was so surprised i thought perhaps this is the one case
07:55meant for me and so i decided to follow the lord's guidance and not look away after a few months
08:02working
08:03together i asked her about the number she'd written at the bottom of my special letter
08:092 736. turns out that was the number of letters she'd sent before mine
08:18i realized right then that i had discovered my purpose because if 2735 trained lawyers would ignore
08:25an innocent girl whose case was famous who was going to fight for the innocent people behind bars who
08:31weren't famous now rosemary lynch was brutally murdered and yet her killer was never found
08:47that's correct when someone goes to prison for a murder they didn't commit it means the real murderer
08:54still out there same contribution as last year maybe a little more undercover is a billionaire donor
09:03tonight that's why i bought this hat it's not very believable dylan hi hey thank you for coming
09:12yeah of course where's becky she couldn't make it oh you didn't hear she um
09:20she dumped me what it's crazy you're like a rom-com character what do you mean we just you know
09:30you're
09:30handsome and you have a beard and a sexy reporter job uh unfortunately she did not feel that way about
09:36the job she hated the job it was just um i don't know it's just too much travel now if
09:43my boyfriend was
09:43covering the middle east i'd be in heaven just when you start to annoy me you leave town
09:49dreaming well then maybe you and i should go out sometime
09:53that's good you're hilarious
09:59i'm gonna go get it i'm gonna go get a drink
10:03i thought you didn't drink you know i think i'm gonna start okay okay
10:14don't be nervous honey you're gonna crush this we don't have enough of a presence in springfield
10:22numbers are still too low downstate we've got plenty of time and when we're through
10:27your opponents will be scattered in piles of ashes nobody does metaphor quite like you do my love
10:33um wow big smile there
10:39it is with great pride and great humility i announce my candidacy for attorney general to the great state
10:47of illinois elected i promise to enforce law and order ensure that no crime will go unplanned
10:56so that's what he was up to our last two ags became governor we can't let that happen
11:02if you go after him in the press it'll come across like revenge not if i do it in court
11:05what are you talking about you want to sue him no expose him you know harvey burkbeck and i aren't
11:11the only two innocent people he's thrown in jail and there'll be a heck of a lot more if he's
11:14elected attorney general exactly we need to sink his ag campaign before it begins let's find another
11:20one of his wrongful convictions something really high profile and jam it down his throat are you sure you
11:24want to poke the bear no i want to rip his heart out how many innocent lives has he destroyed
11:29i don't think it's a great idea but i think somebody on a queen out here
11:34this man doesn't get to be attorney general
11:42lucille why did you set the fire because my little angel told me to
11:48he spoke to me he said he was ready to go to heaven
12:02you seriously want to defend the wicked witch west pullman the woman murdered her own child by
12:07burning down her house and then confessed to it we'd have a better chance exonerating the ghost of
12:11charles manson i know it's not a great case but her pcr hearing is in less than two months the
12:16timing is perfect and it's high profile enough that we'll get a ton of press this is a disaster
12:20waiting to happen everyone loved hating her just like they loved hating me lucia rincon was convicted
12:26because of this image of her right the satanic goth queen correct what if i told you
12:34she was really a preacher's wife who was never into god so then what was with all the goth makeup
12:40it wasn't the makeup it was soot from the fire they didn't clean her up before the confession
12:47eyewitness accounts have her getting some sort of injection on the scene
12:51and let me guess her toxicology report has disappeared vanished in the wind i think we found our case
13:10soot from the fire and transfer gate two
13:17you okay yeah
13:24best years of my life
13:31to this day i don't know why my baby's dead i don't know why i confessed
13:39i play it over in my head
13:42why did i do that since the advent of dna evidence about 2 000 inmates have been proven innocent and
13:48freed more than 500 of them had been coerced into falsely confessing
13:55so lucia can you tell us what happened that night i don't remember anything i was never into
14:02goth i i didn't even know what that was bellows did the same thing to me
14:06you know the night rosemary died was the first night i ever got drunk what i thought you were some

15:08necessary it's always necessary maddie i want to show you what i've been working on for the new

17:39i bet toby would totally hook up with you in that dress
17:52um
18:00hey levi come drink with us
18:18Now, with renowned Innocence Attorney Madeleine Scott at her side,
18:21Rincon is heading back to court for round two of her infamous trial by fire.
18:27And the Supreme Court has also held that fantastic or delusional claims of actual
18:32innocence should be dismissed by judges as trivial and deadly without...
18:38What do you make of this Luciferina deal? Arson? Not arson?
18:42Those judges wouldn't know a deliberate from an accidental combustion if you set their robes on fire.
18:49That fire was 2004, wasn't it?
18:53Yes, it was, Chief. December 2004.
18:56So there you have it.
18:59Why, what happened in 2004?
19:02Charcoal Christmas, huh?
19:08All right, let's go, let's go. Hustle it up now. Keep your head up.
19:11There you go. Nice shot. Hey, great save.
19:13There you go. Great job.
19:14Come on. Go meet up your friends, honey.
19:17Good effort, good effort. Give me some five. There you go.
19:20Why is your sister defending that psycho who set her kid on fire?
19:25You'll have to talk to her about that.
19:26She is using Rosemary. It's disgusting.
19:29What is wrong with you people?
19:31Can we not talk about this here, please? I'm trying to coach soccer.
19:34We are never going to forget what you and your sister did to Rosemary.
19:38Ever.
19:39Come on, Ryan.
19:46Bye, Coach Levi.
19:49Hey.
19:52Hey, Levi.
19:56What are you doing here?
19:57No one wants you here.
20:00We don't want you around our kids.
20:02You know, assault with a deadly weapon can get you up to ten years.
20:07Maybe life if you kill me.
20:09Is that what you want, Brian?
20:10You want to sit in a cell for the rest of your life,
20:13just dreaming about all the things that you missed out on,
20:15like your wife, be kids.
20:19Just a couple beers.
20:23Good steak.
20:27Why don't you move over and
20:29we'll just pretend this whole thing didn't happen.
20:41Oh my God, Brian!
20:43Brian!
20:44Are you okay?
20:52Are you okay?
20:52Are you all right?
21:22Heather.
21:25Hey.
21:28What are you doing here?
21:30Your drug addict brother nearly killed me and my husband.
21:33I take it you're defending him?
21:36He's been clean for years.
21:38Good for him.
21:41Wait, Brian Husband is your husband?
21:43Yeah.
21:45No, it's just...
21:47Now your name is Heather Husband.
21:50I'm glad you've recovered enough from Rosemary's death to make everything a big joke.
21:54You know, most of us in town still think you should be in jail.
21:58We always will.
22:00Well, sometimes I miss lock up because, you know,
22:04kind of cool to beat the hell out of a dumb bitch who looked at you wrong.
22:07Well, you know all about being a dumb bitch now, don't you?
22:13You know, I always thought that maybe you were the one that killed Rosemary.
22:16What?
22:17You were definitely the queen bee back in the day, but you knew you were never getting out of LaGrange.
22:22And you should have seen your face the day Rosemary was accepted to Stanford.
22:27Well, it looks like she didn't quite make it.
22:30Now did she?
22:38See you in court, Maddie.
22:47Mr. Scott, where is your sister?
22:50She should be here soon, Your Honor.
22:53Madeline Scott, Your Honor. Counseling by the defendant.
22:55Sorry.
23:00And how do you plead?
23:02As always in our family. Not guilty, Your Honor.
23:13Hi.
23:14Hey.
23:16Hi.
23:18Can we talk about Rincon?
23:21Is that what you're doing here?
23:22Well, we got a lot of readers that love the goth killer.
23:26I'm metro now.
23:28So, I guess your international dream guy scenario is over.
23:31Yeah, you're still dreamy on this continent, but I can't discuss it.
23:35All right, new idea. How about this? How about I take you to dinner and I give the story to
23:39somebody else?
23:40You would lose a story for a date.
23:42I would lose a Pulitzer for a date with you. Are you kidding me? Come on.
23:46Oh, you're good. I can't. I...
23:53I, uh...
23:54You know what? You're not missing anything. I'm terrible in bed.
23:59That's not a true story.
24:18Easy.
24:20I've been looking into Lucia's missing toxicology file.
24:23So, this is the medical examiner report from Lucia's case. You see that?
24:27Yeah, it's a photocopy of a staple.
24:29Right, but that's the only page and it says the toxicology report is attached.
24:33There's a photocopy of a staple.
24:35It was hidden in discovery.
24:37And we never figured out what she was injected with at the crime scene.
24:40Mm-hmm. It's gotta be in there, right?
24:42If we can find it.
24:44What about the EMT who treated her at this scene?
24:46Maybe she can get it for us. She's listed right here on the report.
24:53You got it wrong. I didn't inject Mrs. Rincon with anything. I drew her blood. It's standard procedure.
24:59Can you get us the complete toxicology report that says what her blood showed?
25:02I'm sorry. I can't help you.
25:04I know it's a lot to ask, but our client lost her son, her husband, and her freedom. She lost
25:11everything.
25:15Great news. The paramedic found her soul and gave us Lucia's lab report, which shows she was hallucinating from carbon
25:22monoxide poisoning.
25:23So her entire satanic public image was in reality a woman who was poisoned?
25:27And Bellows buried the blood test that would prove it.
25:29We just destroyed Lucia's confession.
25:31Bingo.
25:33All right. I got good news and bad news.
25:34Oh, we're playing this game again.
25:36Yeah, because I love it. Which one do you want first?
25:38The bad news.
25:40I'm not gonna be a fireman with Engine Company 93.
25:43Shocking.
25:43What's the good news?
25:44Firefighters know everything about arson. Who knew?
25:46I knew.
25:47In 2005, a Jersey-based importer was hit with a class action suit claiming their faulty Christmas tree lights caused
25:53more than 60 Christmas tree fires.
25:55They called it Charcoal Christmas.
25:57Looks like Lucia's fire was an accident caused by faulty Christmas tree lights.
26:00Can we prove she owned them?
26:01You mean, did she run back into a burning house to save a box of receipts? Probably not.
26:05Okay, wait, but for the first time, we have a logical explanation for how the fire started.
26:11All right, I'll amend our petition to include Bellows suppression of the toxicology report
26:15and make sure that I file it.
26:16No, no, no. We can't file anything yet.
26:19Bellows could cut a deal to keep this off the record.
26:21Hiding a damaging blood test is enough to show how corrupt his case was and blow up his AG campaign.
26:26I know you want to humiliate him, but what matters is Lucia.
26:30We have enough information for him to release her.
26:32I hate Bellows too, but we have to protect our client above all else.
26:38Yeah.
26:40Okay.
26:42Go to Bellows. See if he'll cut a deal.
26:54Nice spot for a jog.
26:56Especially this early, before the carbon monoxide chokes the oxygen out of the air.
27:01Lucia Rincon's confession.
27:03She was suffering from carbon monoxide poison when she gave it.
27:07I have the hidden blood test to prove it.
27:10Look how I know you all think I'm the villain in your story.
27:15May I ask you a question?
27:16Have you ever taken a statement of a mother whose child has just been murdered?
27:21I have.
27:24At least a hundred times.
27:26Never forget the look in their eyes.
27:28The look that says that their lives are now over too.
27:32The only thing I can do to make sure I can still sleep at night is punish the killer of
27:38their child.
27:38What about when you get it wrong?
27:43Madeline Scott is guilty.
27:46So is Rincon.
27:48If you can get it released with that report, she still killed her kid.
27:51She didn't kill him.
27:52But the fact that you suppressed this report will certainly kill your campaign.
27:57So either way, you lose.
28:03That's a good one easy.
28:07Please demand slaughter.
28:08I'll make sure her sentence is reduced, her time served.
28:11The report stays buried.
28:12She pleads the child endangerment.
28:19If, in your crusade, you manage to free someone who's actually guilty, and then they murder someone, or otherwise ruin
28:29innocent lives, then who's the villain in your story?
28:33You have a deal.
28:41What?
28:42Really?
28:43You're being offered what's called the Alfred plea.
28:45If you plead guilty to child endangerment, you'll be released based on time served.
28:50But everyone will still think I'm the goth killer?
28:55What do you think I should do?
28:58I was offered a plea in my case.
29:01I turned it down.
29:03I would rather be in prison than have the world think I was a murderer.
29:06And you won in court.
29:07My conviction was overturned.
29:10And if this happens, they can't retry me because of the double jeopardy thing.
29:14No, no, no.
29:15Double jeopardy only applies if you're found innocent at trial or deemed actually innocent based on appeal.
29:21Yeah, but Bellows cares too much about his political ambitions to risk another loss.
29:25I would be stunned if he tried you again.
29:27My husband left me because he thought I killed our baby.
29:32He made a statement against me in court.
29:35I lost everything.
29:40Lucia, what do you want to do?
29:43I want to go to court.
29:50You take the kick.
29:53Right.
29:53Way to go, Tim.
29:54Way to go.
29:56Yeah, that's the way.
29:57All right.
29:58Pass it over.
29:59Hey, Levi.
30:01Hey, coach.
30:02What's up?
30:03Hey, look.
30:04I hate to do this, but we're going to have to let you go.
30:08What?
30:08Why?
30:09That thing with Brian's husband pushed a lot of people over the edge.
30:12You know, I tried to fight it, but, uh, you know, with the prison thing and the drugs...
30:18No, no, hey.
30:18Coach, I've been off Oxy for years.
30:21I have.
30:22You...
30:23Frank, you know this is all I got.
30:25You know I love these kids.
30:26Don't do this to me.
30:27I'm sorry, Levi.
30:29I'm sorry.
30:30Frank, please.
30:31No.
30:39Who...
30:41Do you want to be a virgin in college?
30:42No.
30:43Do you?
30:44No.
30:45So let's get it over with.
30:53Hey.
30:55Hi.
30:56Um, I was thinking about your offer, and I...
31:03I can't promise that it won't be super awkward.
31:08Um, but maybe...
31:12If you want to have dinner, then...
31:14Yeah, I-I definitely want to.
31:15I would love to.
31:16Uh, Saturday.
31:17How about Saturday night?
31:19Okay.
31:19All right.
31:20I'll pick you up.
31:21Great.
31:22Okay, bye.
31:32I got a line on Madeline Scott.
31:34I love it.
31:35Bring me something good.
31:37Well, you know I will.
31:50What's up?
31:51You okay?
31:52Yeah, will you look at this?
31:56Lucia's husband, all his preaching is exclusively in Spanish.
32:00So?
32:00The police report said that he didn't speak English.
32:02Yeah, but his statement is in flawless English.
32:09I couldn't stop thinking about Lucia's husband.
32:11Why would he give a statement that she never wanted children if it wasn't true?
32:14All right.
32:14So we look back during Khan's original statement to the police.
32:17It's written in flawless English.
32:19And?
32:19He probably couldn't even read what he was signing.
32:22The translator could have written anything.
32:25All right.
32:25We need to confirm this is actually what he said.
32:27And if not, we need to get him on the record refuting it.
32:30But first, we have to find him.
32:31Yeah, good luck with that.
32:37On it.
32:48How could you get her to reject the plea?
32:51You risked our client's life on a long shot appeal over a personal vendetta with Bellows.
32:55I don't see it that way.
32:58I'm the only one who's been through what Lucia's been through.
33:00Which does not give you the right to manipulate her into risking her own freedom so you can continue to
33:05grind your axe.
33:06I didn't manipulate her. I empathized with her.
33:14In prison, no one is spitting at Lucia. You want her to go back to all that?
33:20Who's gonna hire a woman who murdered her own child?
33:23Who will love that woman?
33:25No one.
33:26Because that is the world that is waiting for her.
33:28If she accepts a plea that admits any wrongdoing, that's the life sentence that terrifies me.
33:33She'll be free.
33:36Isn't that the entire point of this firm?
33:38Lucia's not fighting for her freedom, and neither am I.
33:41She's fighting for her innocence.
33:47And so are we.
34:00Hey, big brother.
34:01Hey, hey, hey sis.
34:05Levi, you promised.
34:08Promises. Promises.
34:10Why?
34:12You were doing so well.
34:14I can't help it.
34:17I miss her.
34:20She was my best friend too, and I'm not a drug addict.
34:28We were more than friends.
34:31What?
34:32I never told you.
34:34I never told anyone.
34:37We were together.
34:43You and Rosemary?
34:46You swore you were never together.
34:49I know.
34:49You lied to me.
34:50I know.
34:50I'm sorry sis.
34:51It was...
34:53It was our secret.
34:56If this gets out, the whole world will think we're guilty again.
35:00This could destroy us.
35:03Oh, it could destroy you.
35:10I'm already gone.
35:24I'm okay.
35:31I will not help you.
35:32I am not.
35:33You're my first.
35:33You're not like a master of the world.
35:34You're not really happy.
35:34I'm eternally.
35:34You're not so satisfied.
35:34You're not abuony.
35:35You're too sick or sick.
35:39What?
35:41What?
35:42What?
36:05Hey, I found Rincon.
36:09Great work, where?
36:11He's a street preacher in Hope Park preaching that the world's about to end.
36:15What do you want me to do?
36:16See if he'll swear out an affidavit denying the statement he supposedly gave police.
36:19Copy that.
36:20Bodhi, be careful.
36:21There's armed drug crews in that park, 24-7.
36:23That's an obstacle.
36:25But I got an idea.
36:26I'll call you back.
36:40God bless you always.
36:42God bless you always.
36:44Thank you for being here with us.
36:46God bless you.
36:48Damien Rincon.
36:49I need to talk to you.
36:52I'm a police officer.
36:53Is it good?
36:54Because I'm not a police officer.
36:57Under the lawyers of your ex-wife.
37:00Look, you once read the declaration that you signed for the police,
37:05because I don't think that what you said and what...
37:09Lucia Rincon was convicted of arson homicide using outdated, outmoded fire investigation methods.
37:14I remember her trial, Miss Scott.
37:15I presided over it.
37:17I've also read your brief detailing this spate of Christmas tree fires,
37:21which all took place before Mrs. Rincon's trial.
37:23Yes, the fires themselves took place before the trial.
37:26Statute is clear.
37:27Innocence claims must be based on newly discovered evidence.
37:30The cause of the fires wasn't determined until six years later.
37:32That determination is our evidence.
37:34Nice try, Miss Scott, but I'll stick with my interpretation.
37:36It's not my interpretation. It's settled precedent.
37:38You say tomato. I say next issue.
37:41There is no next issue, Your Honor.
37:42Tomato, Miss Scott. Next issue.
37:44This is a one-issue case.
37:46If there's no arson, there's no arson homicide.
37:49Clock is ticking.
37:50Should we keep spinning our wheels or should we move on down the road?
37:59Happy to move on, Your Honor.
38:02Your Honor, if I could draw the court's attention to the toxicology report submitted with our petition.
38:07In violation of Brady v. Maryland, Miss Rincon's blood test was hidden from defense counsel.
38:11Let's discuss how this blood test would have impacted the trial.
38:14It clearly undermines Miss Rincon's confession, Your Honor.
38:16She has no memory of the fire or its aftermath.
38:19Among the key symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning is confabulation.
38:23Fabrication of imaginary events to compensate for total memory loss.
38:27I.e., detectives repeated what they believe happened over and over until Miss Rincon believed it too.
38:32Well, I'm not sure the evidence of carbon monoxide poisoning is material enough to change the jury's verdict.
38:37Your Honor, they goaded Lucia into believing she murdered her own son.
38:41That, coupled with the guilt and trauma of losing a child, amounts to a forced, unreliable confession.
38:46I'll consider it.
38:48But I'm not gonna lie, I've heard better.
38:50What else you got?
38:52What else have we got?
38:54I'm sorry, Your Honor.
38:55Is there something funny about a woman serving a life sentence for a crime that didn't even happen?
38:59Excuse me.
39:04Your Honor, my investigator has been assaulted.
39:07May we ask for a recess until tomorrow?
39:09My Lord, you look like hell.
39:11Adjourned until 9 a.m.
39:14Miss Scott, I hope you're a bit cooler when you come back in this room.
39:18Or I will kick you right out.
39:22Are you okay?
39:23What happened to your face?
39:24When Combs undocumented thought I was from immigration, after he realized I wasn't ice,
39:28he finally started talking to me.
39:30And?
39:32And he didn't write that statement.
39:33And he never turned against his wife.
39:36Their entire motive is falsified on that forged statement.
39:40He's gonna testify.
39:41No, no, no, because if he shows up to court, he's gonna be deported.
39:43And he says if he gets deported, he'll be killed as soon as he gets home.
39:46I mean, he already disappeared.
39:48We need to prove that translation was purposely failed.
39:51Damn.
39:53Then let's look into the translator.
40:07I found something.
40:08That translator did the same thing in Indiana.
40:11Did you see Indiana?
40:13Oh my god.
40:14That's good.
40:15Yeah.
40:16If we can get him to testify, we might have a shot.
40:18As of right now, it's our only shot.
40:20We gotta find this guy.
40:23Good morning, Your Honor.
40:25Petitioner submits a letter from the Attorney General of Indiana,
40:29detailing a plea bargain in a case where the translator, Thomas Lemay,
40:33improperly translated the testimony of a critical witness.
40:37Mr. Lemay was also the translator the prosecution used in this case.
40:41Your Honor, counsel's claim is a desperate attempt to plant the seeds of doubt into our investigation.
40:46It is a personal vendetta against myself and impossible to prove that this translation was falsified.
40:51That's because I'm not finished, Your Honor.
40:53Petitioner calls the translator Thomas Lemay to the stand.
41:02The petitioner also submits an affidavit signed by Mr. Lemay,
41:07admitting to falsifying the translation in this case.
41:10State of Illinois versus Rincon.
41:11His motivation was to ensure guilty verdicts for people he was convinced were guilty.
41:16They were guilty, Your Honor.
41:18Get him the hell out of my courtroom.
41:20Your Honor, I want to say something.
41:21Out.
41:21Sometimes the ends justify the means.
41:24Mr. Bellows?
41:28I'm just as shocked as everyone else in this room.
41:31Oh, that was good.
41:31Very convincing.
41:32Your Honor.
41:33No need to rub it in, Miss Scott.
41:34Even just a little?
41:35How many cases have you tried using fraudulent translations?
41:38I'm under no obligation to answer questions posed by opposing counsel.
41:41You are, however, under obligation to answer questions from this bench.
41:44You say tomato, I say tomato.
41:48You saw my line, Miss Scott.
41:51So I'll take yours.
41:55Mr. Bellows, how many of your prosecutions relied on this obviously corrupt translator?
42:04I have no idea, Your Honor.
42:07But I will personally investigate each and every one of them.
42:10In fact, I will initiate an internal review of all convictions won by my office over the last 20 years.
42:16If there is even a scintilla of corruption, I will root it out.
42:20I've dedicated my life to serving justice.
42:23Your Honor, the justice currently before the court is the false imprisonment of Lucia Rincon.
42:28We've presented a forged affidavit, a hidden toxicology report, and ample evidence that show the true cause of the fire.
42:35There was no murder, Your Honor.
42:37Only lies, deceit, and corruption that have placed an innocent woman behind bars.
42:48Mrs. Rincon, you must feel like you got lost in the shuffle.
42:56I've gotten used to it, Your Honor.
42:59Let's see what we can do about that.
43:02Based on the totality of the evidence presented, petitioner's motion for post-conviction relief
43:08is granted, and this court hereby declares the defendant is actually innocent.
43:14Mrs. Rincon, you are free to go.
43:48I don't mean to sound grateful, but mostly I just feel cold.
44:00Rosemary?
44:04Rosemary?
44:09Rosemary?
44:11Rosemary?
44:13Oh my god, oh my god, please stay asleep.
44:15Fee-bye?
44:18Is she okay?
44:19I don't know, I...
44:21Oh my god.
44:38I am longing
44:40for your honor.
44:42I am longing
44:44for your love.
44:51And the shine
44:54falls
44:55from my head
44:57back.
45:00I'm gonna
45:01shine
45:04never get you back.
45:08Never get
45:10you back.
45:12Never get
45:14you back.
