The Practice (1997–2004): Season 5, Episode 22 - Public Servants - full transcript

Previously on
"The Practice"...

Thirty years?

It's not unreasonable,
Jackie, for two murders.

The punishment is life,

and you're looking
at a double life sentence.

Do you see the man
who was shooting that day?

It was the defendant.

Let the record reflect
the witness has identified

the defendant
Jackie Cahill.

This D. A.-- He knows us,
and I know him.

He is not going
to drop the ball.



Richard Bay,
in addition to being good,

he is pathologically
competitive.

He'd want you to get life
even if you were innocent.

Is somebody there?

Ooh!

MAN: This is simple--

If the case
against Jackie Cahill

doesn't go away...

you will.

Our client would like to reopen
the plea negotiation.

Forty years.

The deal you offered
was 30.

That was before
I had to go to trial.

If he really thought
I killed two people,



what does he think
I'm going to do to him

if he convicts me, hmm?
If he's not afraid of that,

he must think I can't get
to him from prison.

Are you going to do something
to him if you lose here?

He has to think I will.

Why?

Because it's my only chance.

The killer is this man
right here.

You're a coward,
and thanks to the jury,

you're about to get
what you deserve.

Commonwealth
v. Jackson Cahill--

We find the defendant
Jackson Cahill

guilty.

Bobby, can you start
working on my appeal, please?

Jackie,
I think you need

to get yourself
another lawyer.

MAN: Okay, let's roll him back
so we can get some vitals.

MAN #2: I've got traction.
Watch his airway.

MAN #3: We got multiple
gunshot wounds on the chest.

We got no lung sounds
on the right.

-Okay, you have the neck?
-Got it.

Okay, roll him out.

-I want to see him.
-Helen--

-Let me see him.
-Let's just stay back here.

-Helen!
-Let me see him!

Just wait.
Just wait.

Liz, go and start bagging him.

(overlapping chatter)

What are you showing
on the monitor, Kevin?

It's a sinus tack.

Okay, let's go ahead
and get him up on the gurney.

1, 2, 3.

Okay, let's get a set
of vitals before we move.

What are you showing, Kevin?

He's asystole.
You want to call it?

Yeah, I got no pulse.

I got brain matter.
Let's call it.

9:25.

♪ (theme)

You okay?

Yep.

Maybe you should take
a second chair.

Ellenor, go with her.

I think I should check on Helen.
She's--

Lindsay can check
on Helen.

Well, let Eugene do it.

I didn't ask Eugene.

Well, I'm asking you
to ask him.

-Ellenor.
-Why can't Eugene do it?

-It's a murder trial, Ellenor.
-All right, come on.

Eugene can't
do murder trials?

-No, not this one, no.
-Why not?

-Because I'm asking you!
-Bobby?

Why can't you just do it?
Why do I have to fight?

I can second chair.
I'm free.

Let's go.

I guess
I'll be going now.

We've cleared the area.
Last cell on the left.

Good.

Beat it.

Don't even bother.
I'm represented by counsel.

Mr. Donnell informs me
he no longer represents you.

Then get me somebody else.

I didn't hear that.

Here's the deal,
Mr. Cahill--

You're going to tell me
who the shooters are.

Oh, really?

And what are you going
to offer me

for this gesture?

Your life.

See, I have
a press conference

scheduled for 11:00,
at which point

I'm going to announce
that you have agreed

to tell us not only
who the trigger man was,

but also the names

of the people
you do business with.

Then I'm going
to have you released

into the general
prison population,

and you will be dead.

Right.

You want to call my bluff?

You're a dead man.

Hold on.

You get me a lawyer first,

and then I'll consider things.

Manslaughter?

If we can agree on sentencing.

They must know I'm innocent.

If they really thought
I killed her, like they say,

they would never
offer manslaughter,

would they?

The offer doesn't reflect
what they believe, Wendall.

It only goes to how they feel
about the case.

Well, I want to reject it.

If I plead guilty to any charge,

people will think
I killed my wife.

That's what they'll all think.

I am not saying
take the offer.

But you would be risking
a life sentence

by going to trial.
You understand that?

I want to go to trial.

You did everything
you could, Bobby.

You warned him.
Richard had protection.

There was nothing
that was--

I'm going to give you
some of my cases, okay, Eugene?

I'm going to take
some time off, I think.

How long?

Maybe indefinite.

I don't think that would be
wise at the moment.

Everybody's trying
to hold it together.

We need your leadership.

You took over before.

You did a great job.

There are times

when the people here
need you.

This is
one of those times.

I need time to process this,
Ms. Gamble. I can't just--

You don't have
the time, Mr. Powell.

Whoever shot Richard Bay
might be

fleeing the jurisdiction
as we speak or planning to.

Offer's good
for one hour only.

If there's a deal,

I want it on paper
with a judge on board.

No time.
You've got one hour.

This is extortion.
You threatened

to hang a snitch jacket
on my client.

That's a death threat.

Mr. Powell, if you're
turning down the deal,

then get out.

Run it by me again.

First, he gets immunity
on Richard Bay's murder.

Which we make no admission
he had anything to do with.

Right. He just happens
to know who did.

And what about
his life sentence?

We'll cut it
to 20 years.

And how would you
accomplish that

when the sentence
is statutory?

You bring a motion
to vacate the verdict,

and I support it.

And you think a judge
would ever sign off--

If he knows
the deal was made

to capture the killer
of a district attorney, yes.

You then enter a plea
to two counts of second degree,

we run the sentences
concurrently,

he's eligible for parole
in 20 years.

I'll certainly
take it to him.

Take it to him now,
and tell him

that the general prison
population awaits him.

I'll draft
the plea agreement

and see you in an hour.

When I got to the house,

she was lying face-up
next to the pool.

Mrs. Forsley?

Yes. I immediately checked
for vital signs,

but she was dead.

Was anybody else there?

Mr. Forsley.
He was soaking wet.

Did Mr. Forsley
say anything to you?

Yes, he stated that he'd
just arrived home from work.

He discovered his wife lying
at the bottom of the pool.

He jumped in,
pulled her out,

tried to revive her,
but was unsuccessful.

Officer, at what time
did you arrive

at the Forsley residence
that night?

It was at 9:52 P. M.

And, Officer,

when did the 911 call
come in, to your knowledge?

At 9:41.

WOMAN:
I was walking my dog

when I saw him
arrive home.

Saw who, Ms. Mosher?

Wendall. He pulled
into his driveway.

Do you know
the defendant?

Yes, he's
my next-door neighbor.

And you saw him
in the car?

I saw him in the car,

I saw him get out
and walk in the front door.

Are you positive
that it was Wendall Forsley?

I'm positive, yes.

I was on the other side
of the street.

And what time was this?

A little before 8:00.

I was impatiently waiting

for my dog
to have his bowel movement.

It was about 3 minutes
to 8:00,

because I wanted
to get back inside

to see "Boston Public,"
which starts at 8:00.

You testified
that you know Wendall.

Yes. We're neighbors.

How well do you know him?

Well, we've lived
next to each other

for three years.

-Been to each other's houses?
-Many times.

How would you describe him?

Gentle, kind.

In the three years
you've been living next to him,

did you ever hear Wendall
and his wife argue?

-Never.
-Ever see, hear, or witness

Wendall become violent
in any way?

No.

Ever see him
with his wife Annie?

Oh, many times.

Could you describe
that relationship

as you observed it?

It seemed very loving.

They were both
very devoted to each other.

You don't think it was worth
crossing her on the time?

She was too positive.

Three minutes and counting
to "Boston Public,"

waiting for her dog
to poop.

Did you check to see

if they maybe ran
that show late that night?

I checked. They didn't,

and we're not disputing
the time anyway.

But he told the cop
he had just gotten home.

He was in shock.

He admits
he was wrong about that.

That's kind of a big mistake.

Jimmy, he's innocent.

That mistake

is the only reason
he's on trial.

All of this is conditional.

The shooter only--
No business associates.

Everybody involved
in the shooting,

directly, indirectly,
or there is no deal.

There's just one guy.

A witness saw
a woman driver in the car.

Yeah, that was his mother.

She lives with him.

Hold on. This says 30 years.

-You said he'd be out in 20.
-Amend it.

If it turns out anybody else
is involved, deal is off.

-There's nobody else.
-What's his name?

Initial that.

Name and address.

Bruce Manning.

He lives
at 1412 Columbus Street

in the South End.

How you doing?

Okay.

Ellenor doesn't think so.

Why are you even working?

I have things to do.

You're giving the eulogy?

One of them.

Seems like yesterday

we were kids in school,
doesn't it?

Talking about our dreams.

Now you're married,
a mom.

We've had friends killed.

We're not kids anymore,
are we?

No.

(whispers) No.

Did you make
a determination, Doctor,

as to the cause of death?

Asphyxiation
caused by drowning.

What led you to make
this finding, Doctor?

The amount of water
we found in her lungs.

And did you make
a determination

as to whether this drowning
was accidental or not?

There was bruising
around the victim's neck

consistent with her
being held under water.

We ruled it a homicide.

Cause of death
was drowning?

Correct.

And, Doctor,

you mentioned bruises
around Mrs. Forsley's neck.

Were there any other bruises
found on her?

There was a slight contusion
on the side of her head.

Any idea
how she got that?

The head may have
scraped the pool

when he was
pulling her out.

Could it be possible

she hit her head
before drowning?

I don't think that happened.

-Is it possible?
-It's possible.

Thank you, Doctor.

And is it possible Mrs. Forsley
bumped her head,

became unconscious,
causing her to drown?

With bruises
around her neck?

If one were to drag her
from a pool by her neck,

she could get postmortem
bruising, could she not?

Is that
what he's saying?

This isn't about what
anybody's saying, Doctor.

I'm asking you,
as a coroner,

if a drowning victim were
pulled from a pool by her neck,

could she suffer
postmortem bruising?

I'll say unlikely.

Unlikely.

So possible.

Remotely possible.

Captain.

Ms. Gamble,
nice to see you again.

I'm sorry about Mr. Bay.

Thank you.
Listen, I've made

a tentative deal
with Jackie Cahill.

He's given me the name
of the shooter.

Here's the address.
Now, the problem is,

there are others
in the building,

including his mother.
According to Mr. Cahill,

this man won't hesitate
to either take hostages

or shoot his way out.
My suggestion--

You apprehend him outside.
He has a nighttime job.

Reportedly, he leaves
for work around 9:00.

This comes from Cahill?

Yes. Evidently, he carries
at all times.

He's extremely dangerous,
as he is volatile,

so make sure your men
protect themselves.

We'll take him tonight.

Thank you.

I went out to the pool
and I saw her.

She was just laying
face-down on the bottom.

And what did you do?

I jumped in to get her.

I swam down,
I pulled her out,

I tried to give her
mouth-to-mouth, but...

When you pulled her out,
how did you do that?

I first tried to

by the arm,

but I couldn't
get any leverage.

I remember
I grabbed her head

to pull her upright
a little,

then tried to get her
on my shoulder.

Did you ever grab
her neck?

I may have.
I can't really remember.

How long did it take for you
to pull her out?

Well, I was unsuccessful
at first.

I had to come up for air.

Then I went back down,

and I was able
to drag her up.

It might have been
a few minutes.

Do you remember what happened
as you pulled her out?

I remember trying
to revive her,

and when I couldn't,
I called 911.

WENDALL: My wife
isn't breathing.

WOMAN: Sir, can you
tell me your address?

She isn't breathing!
She was in the pool!

WOMAN:
Where is she now, sir?

WENDALL: She's on the ground!
I got her out,

but she's not breathing!
Oh, she's blue! My God!

Is that your voice,
Mr. Forsley?

Yes.

Okay.

When did you arrive home
from work that evening?

It was probably
somewhere around 8:00.

And when did you discover
your wife in the pool?

Closer to 9:30.

So you had been home
for more than an hour.

Yes.

What were you doing

between the time
you arrived home

and the time
you discovered your wife?

I was in my den
doing bills.

So why did you tell
the police

you had just gotten home
before you discovered your wife?

I don't know.

I must have been
in shock.

You stuck by
your time story

at an interrogation later
at the police station.

Were you in shock then?

Probably.

And when you then found out
that you had been seen

by Ms. Mosher
arriving home at 8:00,

I bet you that gave you
a little shock.

-Objection.
-Sustained.

Was your wife a good swimmer,
Mr. Forsley?

Yes.

In fact, she was
a competitive swimmer

in college, was she not?

She was.

I noticed that your pool
is about 20 yards

behind the back door
of your house.

Can you see
the bottom of the pool

from the back door?

No.

You had to walk up
to look, right?

Right.

So you opened the door,

you saw that she was
not out there,

and you said
to yourself,

"Gee, I think I'll check
the bottom of the pool"?

-Objection.
-Overruled.

What made you think
she might be at the bottom?

She didn't answer, so--

You said you went
from your office

to the kitchen
to the pool.

Rather than first seeing

if she was upstairs
in her bedroom,

rather than see if she's
out in her art studio,

you said to yourself,

"Let me check
the bottom of the pool"?

I don't know why.

Maybe I just had a feeling.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to monitor,

make sure no fourth amendment
rights are violated here.

How did you get past
our checkpoints?

I'm a district attorney.

This could be
a dangerous area, Ms. Gamble.

You said so yourself.
If he comes out shooting--

I'll duck down.

Keep your distance.

-Bruce Manning!
-Freeze!

-Hold it!
-Get down!

Gun!

What's happening?
Bruce?

Bruce?
What have you done?

Place this woman
under arrest for felony murder

and take her into custody.

(woman sobbing)

Bruce!

Just now?

About an hour ago.

Why were you there?

There was nothing
on television, okay, Ellenor?

It was either a movie
or watch a guy get shot.

Is that funny?

You enjoy it, Helen?

It didn't hurt.

(doorbell rings)

Mike?

Why didn't you tell me
this was going down?

The man didn't have a weapon.
Do you know that, Helen?

It was a cell phone.

It was dark.
He made a quick move.

From my vantage point,
the shooting looked justified.

Well, from mine,
it looked like an execution.

You tell the police
he'll take hostages,

you got to take him outside,
he'll be armed,

he's volatile, he'll shoot,
protect yourselves--

Is there any other way this
could have gone down, Helen?

This was the equivalent
of a hit.

I have to take a different
legal point of view there,

Mike, but you know what?

If it gets out
on the street,

whack a D. A.
and this is what happens,

I can live with that.

There's going to be
an investigation.

Tell me where and when.
I'll show up wearing white.

What's this deal
you made with Cahill?

Tomorrow
we put our doctors in.

Dr. Winters will testify
that she could have drowned,

that the bruising
is consistent with you

pulling her
out of the pool by the neck.

Dr. Marks will testify that
you appeared to be in shock.

They've offered no motive.
I think we're okay.

Yeah.

Bec, Mr. Bullock
is here.

Now?

He says it's important.

Thanks.

This is slightly
embarrassing.

You caught
the real killer?

You could say that,
Jimmy, yeah.

What's going on?

Well, it seems
your client has an alias.

Why we're just
finding this out,

I don't know,

but this hoarseness
you hear in my voice

is 'cause
I've been screaming.

-He has an alias?
-Peter Bryant.

He was arrested
six years ago in Indiana

for murder,

charged
with strangling his wife.

He was acquitted.

I guess at that point,
he moved to Boston

to make a new life
for himself.

When he was 14,

he strangled
an 11-year-old girl

and a 9-year-old girl.

He was convicted

and served time
till he was 21.

He also used to
strangle chickens.

Excuse me?

As a youth,
he would trespass onto farms

and kill chickens--
Hundreds of them.

What's wrong?

There's been a new development.

What?

The D. A. found out
about three other murders...

Peter.

I was acquitted.

Of the last one,
not the first two.

Those were juvie.

Well, the D.A.
is gonna try

to introduce them
as pattern evidence.

There's a motion
scheduled tomorrow.

We're going
to fight it, but...

Is manslaughter
still on the table?

No.

Want to tell us
about the chickens?

You killed him?

Mr. Cahill, I'm afraid
I'm not satisfied

that you turned over

all the people responsible
for Mr. Bay's death.

What?

I did.

Well, it's unfortunate
that I just don't trust you.

Accordingly, the deal is off.
Your life sentence stands.

-Hold on.
-Wait a minute.

On what basis do you believe
there were others involved?

My gut.

Have a nice life,
Mr. Cahill.

We have
a signed agreement.

I don't believe
he lived up to the terms.

We're going right to court.

Excellent.
That'll sure put the word out

that you turned
state's evidence.

I guess
this is goodbye, Jackie.

You don't think I can
hit you from inside?

Jackie--

I was so hoping
you'd say that.

Prior bad acts
in a criminal case

are inadmissible.

Except when they go
to pattern, Your Honor.

He was never convicted
of the crime.

He was arrested for it,
and the two prior murders--

Were juvenile offenses,
which means,

as a matter of law,
they never happened.

Juvie is sealed.

That means we're talking
about one prior offense.

One offense does not
amount to a pattern.

The pattern is
he kills wives.

Oh, come on.

Look, this man borders
on being a serial killer.

He is going to kill again.

Based on what I'm hearing,
I'd say it's a guarantee,

but juvenile records
are sealed.

And as for the prior
bad acts,

I'd be handing him an appeal
on a silver platter.

It's not coming in.

So we're just going
to pretend for the jury

that none of this
ever happened?

We're going
to finish the case,

And then win or lose,

you can go home,

pour yourself a little Scotch,

and lament the perversity
of the system.

Bec, are you all right?

Yeah.

I just, um...

With Richard getting killed...

The reality of...

The reality of what?

I've been clinging
a little to this case.

The idea that we fight

for the innocent sometimes,
too, you know?

And Wendall-- I just--

I needed him
to be innocent, you know?

Yeah.

Jimmy...

he's going to kill again.

Well, that's not something
to mention in your closing.

It's, uh, not even something
we should think about.

It's not even something
we should think about.

Rebecca--

No, no, what the hell
are we doing?

-Keep your voice--
-Is there even any doubt
that he'll kill again?

Rebecca!

This is classic
contract law, Your Honor.

Ms. Gamble offered a deal,
we accepted the terms,

she received
consideration--

-First of all--
-I'm not finished.

We also have to consider
substantive due process.

The government
must be required

to give Mr. Cahill

the benefit
of what he bargained for.

He gave over the shooter,

who was shot dead,
by the way.

For Ms. Gamble
to now say no deal,

that is blatant
bad faith.

This woman was a friend
of Richard Bay's.

She's been on a mission.
The shooter is now dead.

Now she's reneging
on a signed agreement

to get my client,
and it should shock

the conscience of this court's
fundamental notion of fairness.

Ms. Gamble?

The deal called
for Mr. Cahill

to reveal everybody
involved in Mr. Bay's death.

Because the shooter
was fatally wounded,

our investigation
of Mr. Bay's murder

has been
severely undermined.

As for fundamental notions
of fairness,

this man
put a hit on a D. A.

He has since threatened
to put a hit on me.

I find it unbelievable
that a man who has

violated our laws
with such brutality,

a man that has murdered

and committed
acts of depravity,

for him now to be seeking
the protection of the law,

to be exalting arguments
of fairness and due process--

This classic contract law
that Mr. Powell speaks of

calls for the parties
to act with clean hands.

I'd ask the court to consider
Mr. Cahill's hands.

And I would ask the court
to consider Helen Gamble's.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

I know how close
you two were, and...

I'm sorry
for your loss,

and I'm sorry
for being an accomplice

in his death.

Bobby, you weren't
an accomplice.

There's no more
denying that, Helen.

You're a defense attorney.

Yeah.

The magic words,
I guess,

to check your conscience
at the door.

I'm so sorry
for your loss.

You okay?

No.

Oh.

Every medical expert--

Ours and theirs,
including the coroner,

has admitted
that she drowned,

that the bruising on the neck
could've been postmortem,

that they could've been
inflicted

by my client's attempts
to pull her out of the pool.

There is no evidence
of any motive.

There is no evidence
that Wendall Forsley

was violent toward his wife
or any other person.

There is no case here,

ladies and gentlemen.

Wendall Forsley
is only on trial

because he seemingly lied

about what time he got home
that night.

But as he told you,

as Dr. Winters told you,
he went into shock.

He wasn't trying to hide
anything

because Wendall Forsley
had nothing to hide.

He told police
that he had just gotten home

a full hour after he was seen
entering the house,

and he repeated this lie

during an interrogation
the next day.

It was only when he was told
he had been seen

going into that house at 8:00

that he then changed his story

and said, "I was in shock.
No sense of time."

good swimmers just don't turn up
at the bottom of the pool

with such marks
around their neck.

She was murdered.

She was murdered
by Wendall Forsley.

WOMAN: All rise.

Be seated.

I have reviewed the contract

entered into by Ms. Gamble
and Mr. Cahill.

I think Ms. Gamble's promises
were against public policy,

lived up to or not.

I also believe they could be
technically unenforceable

under Massachusetts general law,
chapter 265, section one,

which states that only the jury

shall determine
the degree of murder.

However,
the fact of the matter is

we enforce plea agreements
like this every day,

and Ms. Gamble's deceit,
trickery, bad faith--

It's also against public policy.

Lawyers who appear in my court

do not get to take advantage
of technicalities and bad faith

to get out of deals
they regret.

I'm, therefore, honoring
the plea agreement.

Mr. Cahill's
first degree convictions

are set aside.

We enter second degree counts,
and pursuant to the agreement,

Mr. Cahill shall be eligible
for parole in 20 years.

Thank you, Your Honor.

However, this plea agreement
is silent on sentencing

when it comes to other crimes,

such as Mr. Cahill's threat
to hit Ms. Gamble.

We deny
that ever happened.

Yes, it would be nice for you
if you got a trial on that,

but you don't.

For sentencing purposes,
I need only find

by a preponderance of
the evidence that it happened.

I make that finding now.

To threaten a D. A.,
Mr. Cahill,

I'm adding 75 years
to each of your 2 counts,

sentencing to run consecutively.

So you will now be eligible
for parole

in 150 years.

Adjourned.

(bangs gavel)

You think you honored
Richard Bay in all this?

Do you think that cowboy
up there just ratified you?

Go away.

Richard Bay was a man
of integrity.

He honored his word.
He honored the law.

If you'll excuse me,
I have to go to a funeral.

Well, I hope you pay tribute
to him there,

because neither you
nor that judge did here.

I get the feeling...

you don't really want me
to win.

What was your motive?

If you don't mind
my asking.

I don't know.

Maybe power.

Power?

Just like the chickens.

I'd be holding this...

little life in my hands,

fully alive, vital...

noisy.

And with one squeeze...

I didn't know
I was going to kill Annie.

We were kissing...

and I was caressing
her face.

And she just seemed so...

alive.

The next thing...

(knock on door)

Jury's back.

Will the defendant please rise?

Madame foreperson,

has the jury reached a verdict?

-We have, Your Honor.
-What say you?

Commonwealth
v. Wendall Forsley,

on the charge
of murder in the first degree,

we find the defendant
Wendall Forsley not guilty.

On the charge of murder
in the second degree,

we find the defendant
Wendall Forsley

not guilty.

The defendant is free to go.

Members of the jury,

you are dismissed
with the court's thanks.

Thank you so much.

I owe you my life.

You need help, Wendall.

I'd go to a therapist.
I really would.

The thing is, if they think
I'd do it again,

they might tell someone
and get me locked up.

I can control myself.

I really think I can.

Well, thank you again.

Good-bye.

Richard had the choice
of stepping down

from a case where the defendant
was threatening his life.

He said to me,
"How can I do that?

I'm a district attorney.
This is who I am,"

and that's how he'd want
to be remembered.

He was a public servant.

He leaves a legacy
of truth,

justice, and integrity
behind him,

a legacy I've done
a lousy job

living up to
the last few days...

a legacy which has become
increasingly difficult

for everyone
in the criminal justice system

to live up to as of late.

But for Richard it was easy,

because his compass
always reminded him...

he was a public servant.

A lot of people he considered
his friends disliked him.

A lot of them happen to be
my best friends--

Defense attorneys,

people who come to work
day after day

fighting for the civil rights

of those who have murdered,
raped, stole--

People who knew that
by fighting for the guilty,

they were ultimately
protecting the innocent.

Those people have come
to doubt themselves

in the wake
of Richard's death.

Richard never doubted you.

He respected you enormously

because he knew you, too,
were public servants,

and he'd want you
to know that.

He was scared the night
before he was killed.

He was afraid
that the threat made against him

might be carried out.

And he said if he should die,

be sure to tell everyone
he tried his very best.

We all know that, Richard.

Lying there is a kind man,

a man who saw a crime
and tried to stop it,

a man who saw victims
and tried to console them,

a man who...

a man who,
more than anything else,

was a dedicated public servant.
