The long anticipated criminal trial
of disgraced media mogul,
Sir Tobias Moore,
is finally underway in New York.
While the trial was
originally scheduled
to begin last year,
the proceedings
were repeatedly postponed.
My client, Sir Toby Moore,
is the true victim here.
This is a sham trial.
This DA's office has had a vendetta
against Sir Toby since day one.
They've stopped at nothing
to smear his reputation
and destroy his life.
I thought he was done
when we arrested him.
Cases like this...
Even when they're over,
they're not over.

Where the hell have you been?
It's almost noon!
- At the library, studying.
- Don't even start.
You're 16 years old.
You can't be out all night.
Uh, and who's gonna stop me?
- You?
- You're grounded young lady.
[LAUGHS] Okay.
[DOOR SLAMS]
What about his victims?
I have nothing but compassion
for real victims,
but these women willing entered
into symbiotic consensual
relationships with my client.
What the hell happened to Judge Barth?
- Money.
- [SIGHS]
Nine months of delays,
motions, private investigators.
She's getting rich
running out the clock.
And how are Amelia, Pilar,
other victims...
- how are they holding up?
- Not great.
You know how it is.
Their lives are on hold.
They're stressed. It takes its toll.
And you?
Well, they're letting me
take the lead on this.
So if something goes wrong...
Their fingerprints won't be
anywhere near it.
Are you calling these women liars?
That's for a jury to decide.
But in this heated climate
where men's reputations
can be destroyed overnight,
how many innocent men
have been convicted,
in the name of the #metoo movement?
[KNOCKING]
- Officer Tutuola.
- Joelle.
Just taking in on you and André.
Oh, well, yeah. We're all right.
So they didn't tell you
your husband Leon
is getting paroled tomorrow.
But he got a year.
It's a split sentence,
so he did six months in,
and the other six months
in a halfway house, on probation.
Uh, does that mean he can just come by?
No, the order protection
is good for a year.
I hope so.
He's been sending gifts to André.
Notes to give to me.
- "Joelle, we need to talk."

I need to show this
to his parole officer.
No, no. Don't do that.
I don't want André
caught in the middle.
Detective Fin, think fast!
[LAUGHS] André.
My dad sent me that.
He said he's gonna take me out
for ice cream.
Where's your client, Ms. Barth?
I haven't excused him.
Apologies, your Honor.
I just found out he's receiving
medical attention for a,
worsening chronic heart condition.
He's not a young man.
The stress of this ordeal
has been debilitating.
For us all.
Well, I have faith
in the New York City jury pool.
I'm confident we will find
impartial jurors.
Motion denied.
In that case, your Honor,
we have a motion for
your recusal from this case.
Your bias against the defense
- has been apparent from the first.
- Objection.
The defense is only interested
in delay and obfuscation.
I can take care of myself, Mr. Carisi.
And Ms. Barth,
while I appreciate you
laying the groundwork for an appeal,
my sole focus is to ensure your
client receives a fair trial.
