00:00:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:19Listen, listen to me, Ms. Cruz.
00:00:22My job as a defense attorney is not to ascertain whether someone's guilty or not.
00:00:26But you do represent guilty people.
00:00:28I represent people who have been accused of a crime, but it's up to the prosecution to prove their guilt.
00:00:35But you do appreciate that the people you represent have committed crimes that destroy families, crush dreams...
00:00:41I've represented people who have been accused of a crime, and no one, mind you, that I've represented has ever been found guilty.
00:00:49That's right. You've never lost a case.
00:00:52Yes. But just because you've never lost a case doesn't mean they didn't commit the crime.
00:00:59Yes, it does.
00:00:59No, no, no. Let me finish.
00:01:01It doesn't lessen the pain of the victim's families, or the pain that the victim has to deal with as a result of the crime.
00:01:09I mean, don't you have any pain for the victims?
00:01:15Are you suggesting that I'm an emotionless person who has no feelings for someone who's been violated in some form or another?
00:01:25Yes.
00:01:26Well, you'd be wrong, Miss Cruz. I do feel for the victims.
00:01:32Did you feel for Deja Jordan?
00:01:37Miss Jordan, just so that we are all clear here, can you please tell us, at any point in Mr. Hall's trailer, did you consent to the sex?
00:01:50Yes, no. E-rate me.
00:02:02I have no feelings for Deja Jordan, because Deja Jordan was not a victim.
00:02:09You still feel this way?
00:02:12As long as I'm black, I will feel this way.
00:02:16What's up, Thugged Out?
00:02:20Tech Nile, where you at, baby?
00:02:22So sick with it.
00:02:24Yeah.
00:02:25Here we go, y'all.
00:02:26Soon as I step in the club, I get it crackin'.
00:02:28White tea and jeans, I'm just relaxin'.
00:02:30Take what I want and shorty, I ain't askin'.
00:02:32Back to the bedroom, time for some action.
00:02:35I'm nothing like you, weezos and you fake raps.
00:02:37I'm hard to find like a needle in a haystack.
00:02:39One of a kind, from a two, I bring your A back.
00:02:42Rob me, don't even insinuate that.
00:02:43I make cash, but baby, I'm so sick with it.
00:02:46With my piss in the club, I'm Michael Vick with it.
00:02:48Tell a bar if you ain't, better get with it.
00:02:50Don't be mad at me, the chick did it.
00:02:52And that's how I do, get the ass in the mouth.
00:02:54So red, ain't nothing average about me.
00:02:57New school style, old school mouthpiece.
00:02:59Looking for me, I'm in a trap like mousies.
00:03:02I'm not your average gangster.
00:03:04Look how I stack my paper.
00:03:06Stay fresh, cause that's my nature.
00:03:08You can hate, but that's okay, cause
00:03:10I'm not your average gangster.
00:03:13Look how I stack my paper.
00:03:15Stay fresh, cause that's my nature.

00:07:18she said actually happened to her happened I would feel for her if the person accused of doing it
00:07:23seeked me out to defend him I would turn him down and seek out the most aggressive prosecutor and
00:07:28make sure he is prosecuted for the crime but Deja Jordan was not raped Deja Jordan minimizes or
00:07:33desensitizes what credible rape victims go through by claiming she was raped when she wasn't so you
00:07:40believe that she beat herself up and self-inflicted rape injuries you'd be surprised what people will do

00:09:15it was great
00:09:16by
00:09:31Okay. Thank you.
00:09:42What did she say?
00:09:43She said I was sick with it.
00:09:44All right.
00:09:49What is it with the question, is she sure?
00:09:51I had to be sure that she's accusing the right person.
00:09:54She was sure.
00:09:55Ma'am, I'm District Attorney Brian Lowe, and that's just a standard question.
00:09:59It helps diminish the possibility for someone to say she was unsure.
00:10:02Okay. So what are we going to do about it?
00:10:03I'm going to call one of my officers and have sick with it arrested.
00:10:06May I speak with you in private?
00:10:09No, no. I want to hear everything.
00:10:11You can hear, Miss Jordan.
00:10:13What exactly is your concern, lady?
00:10:16You can't arrest him.
00:10:18We don't have sufficient proof that he did it.
00:10:20She just said that he did it.
00:10:22No disrespect to you or your daughter, but I don't know her or you,
00:10:26and Mr. Hall has rights.
00:10:28We can't arrest him with insufficient proof that he committed a crime,
00:10:32and the rape test results won't be in until tomorrow at best.
00:10:36You think she's lying?
00:10:38Dr. Sheridan said that although there is vaginal tearing, she can't positively-
00:10:42You calling my daughter a liar?
00:10:44Hey! Hey! Hey!
00:10:45You calling my daughter a liar?
00:10:46I will bust you in your head!
00:10:47Hey! Hey! Hey!
00:10:48That is a government official.
00:10:49Now, I understand that you're upset, but I will lock you up myself.
00:10:51Would you take me to jail?
00:11:07I'm sorry I hit you.
00:11:09It's a very emotional time for me right now, and if you want to press charges, then I'll understand.
00:11:21No, I'm not going to press charges.
00:11:24I just want us to do this by the book to ensure we get a conviction.
00:11:38This is Michelle.
00:11:40I want you to send Mark and Ron over to Yorktown Studios in Burbank to investigate the trail of Sick-Witted for him to support me.
00:11:47And tell him to question anybody that's still there and get the statements back to me ASAP.
00:11:52And I want you to find Sick-Witted and bring them in for questioning now.
00:11:55Sick-Witted the rapper?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:59Alright.
00:12:00Why was the D.A. at the hospital?
00:12:10Because he was in on the take.
00:12:12My research reveals that he's always been a staunch advocate against sex crimes.
00:12:15Yes, he is.
00:12:16But he's an administrator.
00:12:18He dispatches people who work for him to go do his dirty work.
00:12:21No.
00:12:22The reason why the D.A. was there is because he had to ensure that every domino that he put into place
00:12:27fell at the exact place it was supposed to fall, causing the exact ripple effect that it was supposed to cause.
00:12:33And why would he do that?
00:12:36Money.
00:12:37And who would pay him this money?
00:12:39Deja, who was barely making enough money for her own expenses?
00:12:43Oh, my gosh.
00:12:44Ms. Cruz, are you that blind to what was going on here?
00:12:47The D.A. had to be there to ensure that Deja got her money so that he, in turn, would get his money.
00:12:54That's a pretty big risk.
00:12:56For someone that powerful to take off a video vixen?
00:13:00The D.A. is a 50-year-old man.
00:13:02His wife is...
00:13:03Yeah.
00:13:04Deja Jordan's beautiful woman.
00:13:07Perhaps she had more to offer than just money.
00:13:13But why?
00:13:15If what you're saying is true, why set sick up?
00:13:19I know that.
00:13:20But this balloon payment is just too much.
00:13:25You knew when you purchased your home, the interest rate was variable.
00:13:29I know that.
00:13:30And with a variable rate, the interest increases...
00:13:32I understand that.
00:13:33You do understand increase means goes up.
00:13:34And according to the contract, that takes place after three years.
00:13:36I understand that.
00:13:37Well, then what's the problem?
00:13:38Why are you being so mean to me?
00:13:39I'm just trying not to lose my house.
00:13:41Well, then you shouldn't have gotten the loan.
00:13:42You don't have a no one like me, cause I'm sick with it.
00:13:43I'm sick with it.
00:13:44You don't have a no one like me.
00:13:45Ay, ay.
00:13:46You alright?
00:13:47No.
00:13:48I'm trying to take the house from my mom and she didn't have the money to stop them.
00:13:51I mean, she can't get a loan?
00:13:52She already refied four times.
00:13:53I'm trying to help her as much as I can, but I'm not making enough money.
00:13:54Well, you are the lead in sick with it.
00:13:55New video, and I know they're breaking you off of me.
00:13:56I'm sick with it.
00:13:57I'm sick with it.
00:13:58I'm sick with it.
00:13:59You don't have a no one like me.
00:14:00Ay, ay.
00:14:01You alright?
00:14:02No.
00:14:03I'm trying to take the house from my mom and she didn't have the money to stop them.
00:14:08I mean, she can't get a loan?
00:14:10She already refied four times.
00:14:13I'm trying to help her as much as I can, but I'm not making enough money.
00:14:17Well, you are the lead in sick with it.
00:14:20New video, and I know they're breaking you off of grip.
00:14:23It's not enough.
00:14:24Well, ask for more, boo-boo.
00:14:26I'm sure they'll give it to you.
00:14:27Trust me.
00:14:28I'm getting the max, and if I ask for more, I'm going to have to give up some, and I'm
00:14:32not doing that.
00:14:33Well, you might need to if you're trying to save this house.
00:14:36How much does she need anyway?
00:14:38Like a hundred grand.
00:14:40Shut the front door.
00:14:42Oh, yeah.
00:14:43You might need to be spreading ready to get that kind of cash, girl.
00:14:46I already told you, I'm not sleeping with nobody for some money.
00:14:49It's only sex, Dej.
00:14:51Why are you tripping?
00:14:52I don't know, Tiffany.
00:14:54Maybe because I'm worth more than that, and it is more than just sex.
00:14:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:15:00How much did you say it was again?
00:15:02Over a hundred grand.
00:15:05And how do you know it's a hundred grand?
00:15:08One day I was using her computer, opened up one of her files by mistake, and saw how much debt she's in, mostly because of me.
00:15:15I mean, she paid for my schooling, all my dance classes, my photo shoots, my car.
00:15:21She paid for everything.
00:15:23She loves you.
00:15:24And I guess if your dad would have been-
00:15:26Don't bring up that mo-
00:15:28Look, my father, he can't help.
00:15:34I'll find a way to get her the money.
00:15:38Well, speaking of money, I'm too cute to be sitting up in your damn room.
00:15:41So, you are packed.
00:15:43And you're late, so we should go.
00:15:47Deja.
00:15:48Deja.
00:15:49It's gonna work out.
00:15:54I know.
00:15:55I-I think she had this moment all planned out.
00:15:58It's amazing to me how you're putting all of this on a woman.
00:16:02How, in your eyes, has Sit done nothing wrong?
00:16:06Because he didn't do anything wrong.
00:16:07He's the victim.
00:16:08The victim?
00:16:09He's had the reputation of a notorious womanizer.
00:16:11That's a character flaw, not an illegal act.
00:16:13He's treated women as his own personal sex slaves.
00:16:15Again, a character flaw, not an illegal act.
00:16:18Well, what about the four women that came forward and said that he forced each of them to have sex with him?
00:16:24That's an illegal act.
00:16:25He was never charged with any of those crimes.
00:16:26The woman in your eyes has Sit done nothing wrong.
00:16:29Because he didn't do anything wrong.
00:16:30He's the victim.
00:16:31The victim?
00:16:32He's had the reputation of a notorious womanizer.
00:16:33That's a character flaw, not an illegal act.
00:16:36That's a character flaw, not an illegal act.
00:16:38But what about the four women that came forward and said that he forced each of them to have sex with him?
00:16:43That's an illegal act.
00:16:44charge with any of those claims. And if those four women felt that he did something that
00:16:48was so wrong, why didn't any of them take him to court?
00:16:51Because they were afraid of defense attorneys like you who would turn the tables and make
00:16:55it out to be their fault.
00:16:58If a woman is dressed sexy and flirting with a man, she's indicating she's down for sex.
00:17:09That's what those four women did. And Sick Witted had the right to try to hit it.
00:17:14That is such a sexist statement.
00:17:15It may be a sexist statement, but it is true.
00:17:18So let me get this straight. A woman cannot dress sexy without a man thinking she wants
00:17:25sex?
00:17:27There's a difference between dressing sexy and slutty. A difference which I can see you're
00:17:34very much well aware of by the way that you're dressed. Because you look very sexy. And if
00:17:42I were to take you out, I would treat you with the utmost respect. Because of what I would
00:17:46want from you.
00:17:49And if I was dressed slutty?
00:17:52Me and myself personally, I would still treat you with respect. Sick Witted, he'd try to
00:17:58hit it. And if you took him to court over it, I'd beat that case every day of the week.
00:18:04I can't believe I'm hearing this from an educated man.
00:18:07I am educated, Miss Cruz. But I am still a man. That's society, Melanie. I mean, the hip-hop
00:18:16culture is no different.
00:18:17The hip-hop culture has shown their true colors on the treatment of women. And the men in that
00:18:23culture should be ashamed of themselves. And you should be ashamed of yourself for representing
00:18:28someone like Sick Witted.
00:18:30Now, be careful there, Miss Cruz. Before you wave your I am woman flag, let's not forget,
00:18:36Sick Witted is the true victim here.
00:18:38Yo!
00:18:39Yeah.
00:18:40Yeah, baby boy.
00:18:41Yeah.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:43You gonna be a guest and see on some of the else's joint.
00:18:46This is you, dunson!
00:18:47What are you talking about, man?
00:18:49It's time for real though, man.
00:18:50Oh, damn.
00:18:51Damn!
00:18:52Alright.
00:18:53Hey.
00:18:54I'm here.
00:18:55Okay.
00:18:56Go, go, go, go, gadget.
00:18:58The gift I got, girl, it's pure magic.
00:19:00And then I'm ghost.
00:19:01Riding in the family with something close.
00:19:03Oh, boy, it's fine and pay.
00:19:06You think I wanna give them some just to, like, get that money?
00:19:19You think I wanna recognize, a bona fide player right before your eyes?
00:19:22Huh.
00:19:23And this is no disguise, girls nickname me, Doc Mesmerize.
00:19:27This is the business right here.
00:19:29Nah, man.
00:19:31Daysha Jordan is the business.
00:19:33Yo, what time is she supposed to get here?
00:19:35Yo, man.
00:19:36You'll be tripping over things.
00:19:37You just gonna let that go.
00:19:41Yo, it's crazy, though, man.
00:19:42Ever since I met this girl at the BET Wars, I can't get her over my mind.
00:19:46And we just told for, like, a half minute, but...
00:19:49I don't know, man.
00:19:50It seems like something there.
00:19:51You know what it is?
00:19:53No.
00:19:55She a trick, just like the rest of them.
00:19:59Hey, look, man.
00:20:01For real.
00:20:02Don't call her that no more, all right?
00:20:04I'm gonna make her my girl.
00:20:06For real.
00:20:07Wow.
00:20:08Wow.
00:20:09The day that she met Sick, she put her plan in motion.
00:20:11I think she put it in motion with a few other rappers who were up and coming on the verge of a big payday.
00:20:16But Sick was the only one who bit, because he was the only one who had true feelings for her.
00:20:21And the chain of events that she put in motion to take him down sickens me.
00:20:26Yo, what's good with you, dawg, dawg?
00:20:29Hey, yo, let me holla at my brother for a minute, man.
00:20:31No doubt.
00:20:32It's our face, man.
00:20:35You a mailman, man?
00:20:36Maybe.
00:20:37Deliver my mailman.
00:20:39It's a joke?
00:20:41Get out, man.
00:20:43Get out!
00:20:44Dawg, man, for real!
00:20:46I'm a man.
00:20:47I'm a man.
00:20:48I'm a man.
00:20:49I'm a man.
00:20:50I'm a man.
00:20:51I'm a man.
00:20:52I'm a man.

00:30:39He was somewhat of a disciplinarian type, but, you know.
00:30:41Okay.
00:30:42Place them on opposite the sides of the room.
00:30:44Out of sight.
00:30:45But make sure we can see the entire room from both angles.
00:30:49Then, press the record button and get out of there.
00:30:53Yo, man.

00:31:04Man.
00:31:05What you got me doing with this?
00:31:07So, what about you?
00:31:08You didn't grow up with your father?
00:31:09Yeah.
00:31:10I don't know.
00:31:11I don't know.
00:31:12I don't know.
00:31:13I don't know.

00:31:31I don't know, but I don't know.
00:31:33So, what about you?
00:31:34You didn't grow up with your father?
00:31:35No.
00:31:36Actually, I um, never met him.
00:31:38Hey.
00:31:45Who was that?
00:31:47I don't know.
00:31:48Probably somebody messing around.
00:31:50Anyway, finish what you were saying,
00:31:51so you don't know who your father is?
00:31:53I don't know.
00:31:54Man, that's crazy.
00:31:55You know, that's usually the dude's story.
00:31:59You know what I'm saying?
00:32:01I wouldn't know.
00:32:03You know, I never really had my dad treat me
00:32:07like a princess.
00:32:09Come on.
00:32:12Look, I'm gonna keep it 100 with you.
00:32:16I ain't your daddy, but I do want to make you a girl.
00:32:22And we can go through the process and everything.
00:32:24You know what I'm saying?
00:32:25It's gonna work out, but I don't want you to make me,
00:32:29but, you know, let me make you feel like that princess you are.
00:32:33And how are you gonna make me feel like a princess?
00:32:37Hmm?
00:32:40Just come inside and watch out.
00:32:42Why are you gonna show me in there?
00:32:44Why can't you show me right here?
00:32:45Cuz, there's people out here.
00:32:47This is not appropriate.
00:32:50Just let me do it to you inside.
00:32:52Um, do it to me?
00:32:54No, I didn't.
00:32:56All right, look.
00:32:57If you want to talk, we can.
00:32:59That's what you want.
00:33:01Is that what you want to do?
00:33:02Hmm?
00:33:03You just want to talk?

00:33:19Know that.
00:33:21We're just gonna talk, right?
00:33:36is that the actual one no but that's the same model they used so what's your point
00:34:00because that only proves my point that Deja Jordan set him up or that he had the
00:34:06cameras placed in his room because he's also notorious for taping his sex acts and putting
00:34:10them online he didn't do that Deja Jordan set him up and she used his best friend to do it Tech Nine
00:34:15never admitted to placing those cameras in his room that's a story you and your client concocted
00:34:21Tech Nines family his daughter in particular was facing certain death and he was not willing
00:34:26to risk his family's life for his boy's reputation or freedom you leave no room for the possibility
00:34:35that's sick with it is guilty I told you I don't represent guilty people because you're the
00:34:41great Tyrone Julian who's never lost a case damn right it's okay
00:34:52where y'all taking him what did he do you have to wait here sir and that's my little brother
00:35:12care of his little Wayne little Romeo or Tupac Shakur you gotta wait right over there sir

00:41:01to rape me
00:41:03and what happened to him?

00:41:26she was flirting with me
00:41:28she was all up on me
00:41:29just like the rest of them tricks that be on the videos man

00:45:19his lawyer is here
00:45:21maybe you don't understand what's at stake here
00:45:23eighty percent of the women who come forward with rape claims never see justice
00:45:27eighty percent
00:45:29thus women stop coming forward
00:45:30and men continue to rape without fear of prosecution
00:45:34many of these women are scarred for life, Nadine
00:45:36and they feel they have no recourse
00:45:38because the justice system is designed to persecute the victim
00:45:42not the perpetrator
00:45:44now you can come with me
00:45:45or you can stay here
00:45:46but questioning will continue

00:46:59wait a minute
00:47:00I want to see my little brother
00:47:01wait
00:47:02I want to see him tonight
00:47:03let's go
00:47:14he's got the best defense attorney in the city
00:47:17there's even more reason why we got to get that confession
00:47:25yo T
00:47:26you know he's lying
00:47:27why did we leave?
00:47:28because he's the DA
00:47:29he's corrupt
00:47:30but he is the DA
00:47:31that was a battle
00:47:32we weren't going to win
00:47:34but what if they trick him into confessing or something
00:47:36even I know there's no way around a confession
00:47:41well we just got to pray smart enough not to confess
00:47:44yo T
00:47:45I need you to handle this for me man
00:47:48I already told you my fiancé and I we just got engaged
00:47:50and we promised each other that we're going to give up law
00:47:52because we're obsessed with it and focus on our relationship
00:47:54I pay you double with what I paid you in the past
00:47:57it's not about the money
00:47:59I can't put my brother's life in no one's hand that I don't know
00:48:03he's being charged with rape
00:48:06they're trying to make him confess to something that I know he didn't do
00:48:10what if he did it?
00:48:12he didn't
00:48:14you sure?
00:48:15I'm a hunter
00:48:17I got a call from some fool who says he has proof that he didn't rape Daisha
00:48:21and they'll give me the proof if I pay him five million dollars
00:48:24the trick is setting him up
00:48:26I need you to handle this
00:48:28I can't
00:48:30I can't go back to my old way of handling things
00:48:37look I understand your situation but I already told you I'm not practicing law anymore
00:48:42so what I'm supposed to do T
00:48:45to have my brother face in prison for a crime he didn't commit
00:48:49and you're the best defense attorney in the state
00:48:52what makes you think I'm gonna let you walk out of here
00:48:55without helping my brother?
00:48:58you threatening me?
00:49:03I'm telling you I need you
00:49:05and I ain't one to be telling nobody I need them
00:49:13but that's my little brother
00:49:16and he's all I got
00:49:23here
00:49:25here
00:49:26there you go
00:49:36when you first met Sick
00:49:38did you believe him?
00:49:40I had my doubts
00:49:42I mean this was a kid who had
00:49:45freestyled and made records about his exploits with women
00:49:48guns, drugs
00:49:50and like anyone else
00:49:53when you meet him you think that this is who he is
00:49:55Tony Hall
00:49:57Sick Whitted
00:49:59although not the most intelligent person in the world
00:50:01he was a lyrical genius
00:50:03he had a way of putting words together that would just blow your mind
00:50:07and he didn't always rap about street stuff
00:50:10he had stories of political issues and social ills
00:50:14but he felt that he had to resort to his street knowledge
00:50:19in order for him to find financial success in the rap game
00:50:24you don't like Tony Hall very much do you?
00:50:26no
00:50:29I don't
00:50:31I think that he's an ignorant rapper
00:50:33and a disgrace to the image of black men
00:50:36as he continues to perpetuate
00:50:38that we as black people have no concern for family values
00:50:41by having a bunch of kids out of wedlock
00:50:44he has no moral values
00:50:46as he's a womanizer
00:50:48a drug user
00:50:50a liar
00:50:51and a waste of flesh
00:50:52as he represents
00:50:54no desire to gain intelligence
00:50:56and utilize that intelligence in areas that matter socially
00:50:59such as math, science
00:51:01or even law
00:51:03so no
00:51:05I don't like him
00:51:09okay
00:51:11why did you jeopardize your relationship with your fiancé
00:51:15to stay on this case?
00:51:16Tyrone Julian for the defense your honor
00:51:31Mr. Lowe
00:51:33my prosecutor will be here momentarily your honor
00:51:37I didn't look at it as me jeopardizing my relationship with her
00:51:41I looked at it as me ensuring that an innocent man get a fair trial in the face of corruption
00:51:47let's see how we're going for the prosecution
00:51:52well then
00:51:54how do you plead?
00:51:58Mr. Julian
00:52:00how do you plead?
00:52:02I'm sorry
00:52:04we enter a plea of not guilty your honor
00:52:06oh
00:52:08trial date set August 8th
00:52:10next case
00:52:16Mr. T
00:52:18let him go pay his bail man
00:52:20alright
00:52:22can I talk to you in private for a moment?
00:52:25sure
00:52:33what are you doing here?
00:52:34what are you doing here?
00:52:35the call I got last night I got that from William
00:52:38the defendant's brother
00:52:40we grew up together
00:52:42told me his brother had an emergency
00:52:43he said he needed my help
00:52:44so I said I'd help him
00:52:46well Brian called me last night as well
00:52:48and told me about the victim
00:52:49and said she needed our best prosecutor to
00:52:51assure that the rapist got the maximum penalty
00:52:54okay first of all allege rapist
00:52:56but you got to get off this case
00:52:58you got to get another prosecutor
00:53:00wait well
00:53:02why do I need to get off the case?
00:53:03why don't you get off?
00:53:04do you see?
00:53:05what?
00:53:06that's the reason right there
00:53:07you and I trying a case against each other
00:53:09is only going to put a strain on our relationship
00:53:11besides you have no vested interest in this
00:53:13I am interested in justice
00:53:15I have known William and his little brother
00:53:17since we were in third grade
00:53:19oh I guess that just justifies you representing a rapist
00:53:22stop!
00:53:24he's not a rapist
00:53:26after they brought Sick in for questioning last night
00:53:28William got a call from some guy
00:53:29told him that they had proof that Sick Witted never touched Daisha
00:53:33but the only way they were going to give him that proof is if he paid five million dollars for it
00:53:37yeah that's what I'm trying to tell you
00:53:40she's not a victim
00:53:42and you believed him?
00:53:44what do you mean?
00:53:46about the call
00:53:48yeah I believed him, why would he lie about it?
00:53:51to make sure you took the case, duh
00:53:54Ty
00:53:56you are the best defense attorney in this city
00:53:59he knows his brother is guilty
00:54:01so he will say whatever it takes to make sure you took the case
00:54:07no
00:54:09no
00:54:11I looked him in his eyes
00:54:13and I looked in hers
00:54:16have you even seen her?
00:54:27does that look like someone who's going to try to extort him for money?
00:54:31if she's planning to extort him for money
00:54:34she's not going to show her at the hospital
00:54:36looking like she's ready to go to the BET awards
00:54:38oh
00:54:44I'm taking this case
00:54:46at risk to our relationship
00:54:47wow
00:54:49I didn't know that our relationship was based on you telling me what to do
00:54:55you can't beat me in a trial scenario
00:54:57I will see you in court
00:55:08Counsel
00:55:18so it was more important for you to get your picture in the paper next to another big case
00:55:22than it was to secure your relationship with Miss Young
00:55:26I don't want to talk about Sierra
00:55:28if you want to talk about the case
00:55:30we can talk about the case
00:55:31but I don't want to talk about my relationship with Miss Young
00:55:33excuse me
00:55:52yeah
00:56:06what the hell happened last night?
00:56:08you were supposed to protect her
00:56:10I know
00:56:12she wasn't even
00:56:14how the hell she ended up getting raped?
00:56:16she wasn't even supposed to be in his trailer
00:56:19all you were supposed to do
00:56:21is get the check my company made out to sick
00:56:23and get it to me so that I could cash it
00:56:25and have my boy bury the old check
00:56:27now
00:56:29I know my company would do an investigation
00:56:31but ultimately
00:56:33they would cut him another check
00:56:34and I would have gotten my money
00:56:36so how the hell she ended up getting raped?
00:56:38we on
00:56:40is that blaze?
00:56:42huh?
00:56:44what?
00:56:45is that blaze?
00:56:46what are you doing?
00:56:48it's okay
00:56:58come to the house
00:57:16It's open.
00:57:19So what's going on?
00:57:42Okay, somebody, please tell me what's going on.
00:57:46You filed rape charges against Robert Dawkins, also known as MC Black Ice.
00:58:03You charged that he and four other unknown men took you to a hotel room after a music video shoot, drugged you, and raped you.
00:58:17The court dismissed the case because their lawyer successfully painted this picture of you being the typical promiscuous video vixen.
00:58:30The one person that could have stood by you was Blaze, but he was afraid that Black Ice would make good on his threats and hurt his family.
00:58:46I was the result of that rape.
00:58:50And though you tried to let it go, it's haunted you all these years.
00:58:57And against your better judgment, you decided to seek revenge.
00:59:06And the way to get that revenge was through me.
00:59:10How'd you find this information?
00:59:20For the past six or seven years, I've been reading your journals.
00:59:24Give me that, aren't you crazy?
00:59:26Mom, your pain is my pain.
00:59:31What they did to you, the fact that my father didn't own up to what he did and he let us spend for ourselves.
00:59:38I understand, you're angry.
00:59:43The least that you want is money as restitution for what they did to you and what you went through and you wanted from somebody in the rap game.
00:59:52But you had to wait for me to grow up to get in that game.
00:59:58Because you're still too afraid to get close to it.
01:00:05Your plan was good. It was.
01:00:08But mine's better.
01:00:10Not only will we get money to keep the house and make sure that you don't ever have to worry about anything again.
01:00:17But we can also take down a notable rapper.
01:00:20What are you talking about?
01:00:26The sick didn't rape you.
01:00:28Mom.
01:00:30Oh, no.
01:00:32No!
01:00:34Deja, that is wrong!
01:00:36Look, I know what I did is wrong, but you...
01:00:39Look, they were gonna get their money anyway.
01:00:43But you trying to take down a guy and put him in prison?
01:00:47An innocent man?
01:00:48Innocent?
01:00:49Mom, the fact that most men in the rap game treat women the way they do and aren't held accountable for it?
01:00:54In my eyes, none of them are innocent.
01:00:56And you know about this?
01:00:59You ain't say nothing to me about this?
01:01:01Blaze, how long we been friends?
01:01:03Bree.
01:01:04Bree.
01:01:05Bree.
01:01:06Bree.
01:01:07Bree.
01:01:08Look at me.
01:01:10Bree.
01:01:11You have no idea how bad I feel that I wasn't man enough to help you back then.
01:01:16Bree.
01:01:17Bree.
01:01:28Bree.
01:01:29Bree.
01:01:30Mario.
01:01:31Bree.
01:01:33Bree.
01:01:34Jay.
01:01:35Deja's plan is good, and it's working, but we're going to get you that money, and we're
01:01:48going to send a message to the rat world.
01:01:52He's a casualty of war, Ma.
01:01:59No.
01:02:02I can't be a part of this.
01:02:03Mama!
01:02:04No.
01:02:13She doesn't get it.
01:02:15I got this.
01:02:16Sick and his brother both say that the extortion was run by the mystery man that no one but Sick's
01:02:23brother has actually seen.
01:02:25So why did you believe that he actually existed?
01:02:28Because, like I said earlier, the district attorney had him.
01:02:32They had him.
01:02:33But when Sick wrote on that piece of paper that he did not rape Deja, effectively saying,
01:02:39take me to trial, I had to believe that everything he said about the extortion plot was true.
01:02:45And so we went to trial.
01:02:47Call your first witness, Ms. Young.
01:02:49The state calls Mr. Greg Techinson.
01:02:52Sidebar, Your Honor?
01:02:54For crying out loud.
01:02:57This is our witness, Your Honor.
01:03:07Anything he has to say benefits us.
01:03:09Your Honor, he came forth last night feeling he could no longer sit on the information he had.
01:03:13Your Honor, the only reason he would have come forward at all is because they threatened him.
01:03:18This is my client's best friend.
01:03:20We haven't threatened him.
01:03:21He's on your witness list, Mr. Julian.
01:03:22What's the problem?
01:03:23They never once informed us of him coming forward with any information.
01:03:27Your Honor, District Attorney Lowe tried contacting Mr. Julian, but to no avail.
01:03:31Your Honor, I am trying this case with limited help.
01:03:35Then get some help.
01:03:36He can take the stand.
01:03:37I'll step back.
01:03:38Your Honor, we weren't planning on calling him.
01:03:41Enough.
01:03:42Enough.
01:03:43I don't like this any more than you do, but he is on your list.
01:03:45The prosecution may call him.
01:03:46Are you crazy?
01:03:47You will watch your tone with me, or you'll find yourself in a prison cell.
01:03:51If you need time to prepare, I'll give you an hour of recess.
01:03:54Now step back.
01:03:55I said step back, Mr. Julian.
01:04:05What's up with your boy?
01:04:06I don't know.
01:04:07Hey, Tech.
01:04:08What the deal, man?
01:04:09What you doing?
01:04:10Tech!
01:04:11Yo, Tech.
01:04:12What you doing, man?
01:04:13What the deal?
01:04:14Mr. Hall!
01:04:15Calm down.
01:04:16Calm down.
01:04:25Mr. Techinson, you and Mr. Hall are best friends, correct?
01:04:29Yeah.
01:04:30Would you say that you know him pretty well?
01:04:32No doubt.
01:04:34Do you believe that Mr. Hall raped Miss Jordan?
01:04:39I do.
01:04:40What?
01:04:41Sit down.
01:04:45Why is that?
01:04:47Well, earlier that day, you know, he was all excited about Deja shooting his video,
01:04:53talking about how he wanted to hit it.
01:04:55Hit it means?
01:04:56Have sex with her.
01:04:57And I was like, what if she don't want to have sex?
01:04:59And he was like, well, all women want to have sex with me.
01:05:01And even if she don't, she ain't got no choice of the matter.
01:05:06What you doing, homie?
01:05:07What you talking with, man?
01:05:08What's up, man?
01:05:09What's up, man?
01:05:10What's up, man?
01:05:11What's up, Tech?
01:05:12I got it.
01:05:13What you doing?
01:05:14Man, why you talking?
01:05:15Come on, man.
01:05:16Come on.
01:05:17What you talking, man?
01:05:18What you doing?
01:05:19That's it, Mr. Julian.
01:05:20Your Honor, please, have an appreciation.
01:05:22This is my client's best friend.
01:05:24They grew up together.
01:05:25And he is now blindsided by this betrayal of the friendship with these blatant lies,
01:05:30which will result in emotions running high.
01:05:32He is not lying.
01:05:33When I get through with him, you'll see exactly how much he's lying
01:05:37and how much you're being played for a fool.
01:05:38What you calling me?
01:05:39Was I unclear in what I just said?
01:05:41Enough, the both of you.
01:05:42Your Honor, if he has another outburst, by all means, lock him up.
01:05:46But for now, please, allow him to stay and face his accuser.
01:05:51Mr. Hall, stand in front of me.
01:05:54Go ahead.
01:06:05Out of respect for Mr. Julian, I'm gonna grant his request this one time.
01:06:09The next time you display any type of outburst like that, I'm locking you up.
01:06:13Do you understand me?
01:06:14Yeah.
01:06:15You will address me as Your Honor.
01:06:17Now answer me properly.
01:06:18Yes, Your Honor.
01:06:21Take a seat.
01:06:22I'm gonna have to calm down.
01:06:35I'm gonna wanna walk.
01:06:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:06:37I got you, ma'am.
01:06:38Continue, Miss Young.
01:06:41Mr. Techinson.
01:06:43In the rap world, there are rules, as you know,
01:06:47that you just don't tell on your friends.
01:06:50Even little Kim did time as to not incriminate her friends.
01:06:57So tell me something.
01:06:59Why are you testifying against your best friend?
01:07:04Because it has to stop.
01:07:05What has to stop?
01:07:07The way we treat our women in the video world.
01:07:09I mean, we hire the ones we know we can hit, you know what I mean?
01:07:13I mean, that's their purpose.
01:07:15Make the video look hot,
01:07:17and then we take care of us in our sexual fantasies.
01:07:21I mean, I know it ain't right,
01:07:23but that's what it is,
01:07:24and I just believe it has to stop.
01:07:31Counselor?
01:07:36Mr. Julian.
01:07:37You know, you need to handle this, man.
01:07:42If I go up there and question him
01:07:43without knowing what the DA offered him,
01:07:45this could go bad for us.
01:07:46You see the faces?
01:07:47You see the look on the majority's faces?
01:07:50Look, if you wait, it's gonna look like you have to come up with something to prove he lied.
01:07:54You need to do something right now.
01:07:56Right now.
01:07:57Mr. Julian.
01:08:01Mr. Techinson,
01:08:02in your testimony,
01:08:03you said it's a shame the way we
01:08:05treat the girls in those videos.
01:08:07By we, do you hold yourself culpable?
01:08:10What'd that mean, culpable?
01:08:15Responsible.
01:08:17Well, yeah, I guess.
01:08:20Would you say that some of your own actions
01:08:23could be construed as sexual assault?
01:08:25Probably.
01:08:27And with the publicity of this trial,
01:08:29and you being best friends with Tony Hall,
01:08:32a girl could be watching this,
01:08:33and she could charge you with assault,
01:08:35or rape for that matter,
01:08:36and you'd be looking at doing time.
01:08:39Correct?
01:08:40Yeah.
01:08:41In which the district attorney could press charges against you.
01:08:45And if they press charges,
01:08:46you're facing prison yourself for the same crime, correct?
01:08:49I'm no lawyer, but yeah, I guess.
01:08:51But instead of doing time,
01:08:52you are up here giving incriminating testimony
01:08:54against your best friend in exchange for immunity.
01:08:58Basically resulting in you doing no time.
01:09:00Isn't that the reason why you're testifying against him,
01:09:03Mr. Techinson?
01:09:05No.
01:09:07Excuse me?
01:09:09Look, the district attorney ain't offering me nothing.
01:09:11It's like I said, a'ight?
01:09:13It's just gotta stop.
01:09:14And that's what I'm sticking to.
01:09:15Do you have any more questions, Counselor?
01:09:20Nothing further, Your Honor.
01:09:24I just cannot believe that the D.A. is corrupt.
01:09:39Oh.
01:09:40Corruption is part of politics, Ms. Cruz.
01:09:42And the heartbeat of corruption is money.
01:09:48They paraded person after person on that witness stand
01:09:52who just tore this poor boy down.
01:09:54You were losing.
01:09:55Up to that point in everyone's minds, I had lost.
01:09:57This is crazy, man.
01:09:58I can't believe all the lies they got these people saying on me in there, man.
01:10:00And I'm gonna have to pay these fools.
01:10:01They're killing us.
01:10:02This isn't over.
01:10:03I can win this.
01:10:04And I'm not finna risk my brother's life on your trumped-up ego.
01:10:05William, first of all, I don't have a trumped-up ego.
01:10:06I have a perfect record.
01:10:07And I'm telling you, I can win this case.
01:10:08Well, win it.
01:10:09But I'm gonna go pay these fools.
01:10:10I'm gonna go pay these fools.
01:10:12You're not doing no time.
01:10:33Wait.
01:10:39All he had to do was wait.
01:10:41For you to berate Deja?
01:10:43For me to do what I do best.
01:10:45Get the truth out of Deja.
01:10:58Ms. Young?
01:11:00Please state your name for the record.
01:11:10Deja Jordan.
01:11:11Deja, you've been through a lot,
01:11:13and I commend you for having the courage to come forward.
01:11:15Before we get all teary-eyed with this beautiful job she's doing,
01:11:18is there a question before the court?
01:11:23You were the lead girl in Mr. Hall's latest video, correct?
01:11:26Yes.
01:11:27What was he like when you met?
01:11:29He was a cool guy.
01:11:32Talkative.
01:11:34Funny.
01:11:35Deja, after the video shoot, what happened?
01:11:37He offered to walk me back to my trailer,
01:11:41which I agreed to,
01:11:43but we ended up back at his,
01:11:46and I was like, here we go again.
01:11:49Here we go again?
01:11:50Most men I meet want to have sex with me,
01:11:54but I thought he'd be like,
01:11:58I thought he was interested in me.
01:12:00So what happened?
01:12:01We got to the trailer and he started to pull me inside.
01:12:11I didn't want to go inside his trailer.
01:12:17I told him I just wanted to talk,
01:12:20and he finally agreed that we would just talk.
01:12:25And so that's when I went inside with him.
01:12:30And what happened once you were inside Mr. Hall's trailer?
01:12:35Well, we talked a little while longer,
01:12:38and then he started to get touchy-feely, you know.
01:12:43He put his hand on my leg and was touching my breasts.
01:12:49Did you say anything to him about touching you?
01:12:52Yes. I told him to stop.
01:12:55I said that I just wanted to talk
01:12:58and he didn't need to be touching me like that.
01:13:00And what did he say to them?
01:13:02He got really angry and started yelling at me.
01:13:06He said, stop fronting.
01:13:08You know why you're here.
01:13:09And I was like, I already told you I just want to talk.
01:13:13So I got up to leave, but he blocked the door.
01:13:19And that's when he pushed me on the sofa and jumped on me.
01:13:23And he pinned me down.
01:13:25She lying! Nobody jumps on you, Jaysha!
01:13:27Mr. Julian!
01:13:28You need to calm down. She will lock you up.
01:13:30She lying, man. She trying to set me up.
01:13:32Please continue.
01:13:33That's when he forced his tongue in my mouth.
01:13:39And he started squeezing my breasts and telling me,
01:13:48I know you want it.
01:13:49And I was like, stop.
01:13:51I don't want you like that.
01:13:54But he just kept going.
01:14:00And he forced me on my back.
01:14:07And I could feel his knees prying my legs open.
01:14:19And he started to unzip his pants.
01:14:24And that's when I swung to find him.
01:14:28I thought that if I could, um, if I could just get him off of me, it made me up.
01:14:41And I guess that's when he punched me in my face a couple of times.
01:14:45Because I blacked out.
01:14:47And the next thing I remember, I woke up and he was on top of me.
01:14:56And he was inside me.
01:14:59He was raping me.
01:15:00Raping you?
01:15:01Wasn't nobody raping you!
01:15:02You did rape me!
01:15:03You did rape me!
01:15:04I raped you!
01:15:05I raped you!
01:15:06I raped you!
01:15:07You lying, man!
01:15:09Ms. Jordan.
01:15:10Deish.
01:15:11Stay with me.
01:15:12Talk to me.
01:15:13You're doing fine.
01:15:14No!
01:15:15I told him to stop!
01:15:16You never said stop!
01:15:17I told him to stop!
01:15:18And he wouldn't!
01:15:19And he kept raving me!
01:15:20Why are you putting on the show?
01:15:21You never said stop!
01:15:23God!
01:15:24I DID tell you to stop!
01:15:29Deish.
01:15:30How'd you get out?
01:15:32He wasn't done.
01:15:33I jumped up and I ran out.
01:15:35Ms. Jordan.
01:15:38Just so that we are all clear here.
01:15:41Can you please tell us, at any point in Mr. Hall's trailer, did you consent to the sex?
01:15:49No.
01:15:50He raped me.
01:15:58Ms. Jordan, are you an actress?
01:16:11I'm sorry?
01:16:12Are you an actress?
01:16:13That was a great performance you just gave.
01:16:15Objective.
01:16:16No.
01:16:17No.
01:16:18No.
01:16:19No.
01:16:20No.
01:16:21No.
01:16:22No.
01:16:23No.
01:16:24No.
01:16:25No.
01:16:26No.
01:16:27No.
01:16:28Objection.
01:16:29It was.
01:16:30Mr. Julian.
01:16:31My apologies, Your Honor.
01:16:32Have you ever acted professionally?
01:16:35Yeah.
01:16:36Once.
01:16:37I wasn't that good.
01:16:39Well, you've gotten better.
01:16:41Objection.
01:16:42Withdrawing.
01:16:44Have you ever studied with an acting coach?
01:16:47Objection, Your Honor.
01:16:48This has nothing to do with the fact that she was raped.
01:16:50But it has everything to do with the fact that she's lying.
01:16:53I'm not lying.
01:16:54Are you a truthful person?
01:16:56Objection.
01:16:57Objection.
01:16:58If he is going to stay this far off course.
01:16:59Your Honor, Miss Jordan just gave testimony that she is a truthful person.
01:17:02I should be allowed to question her on the merits of that statement.
01:17:05Overruled.
01:17:07Can you calm down so I can get through this so we can get out of here by lunchtime?
01:17:10Hey, Mr. Julian.
01:17:11I'm sorry, Your Honor, but she keeps slowing me down.
01:17:16Where was I?
01:17:18Truthful person.
01:17:19Are you a truthful person, Miss Jordan?
01:17:21Yes.
01:17:22I'd ask that Mr. Johnson please stand.
01:17:26Objection.
01:17:27Objection.
01:17:28You just can't help yourself, can you?
01:17:29Mr. Julian.
01:17:30A little latitude, Your Honor.
01:17:32Do you recognize this man?
01:17:34Yes.
01:17:35You asked him to leave his job because you told him you had an emergency, didn't you?
01:17:40Yes.
01:17:41But there was no emergency, was there?
01:17:44No.
01:17:45You lied to him?
01:17:48Yes.
01:17:51You may sit down, sir.
01:17:53So you're capable of lying to get what you want?
01:17:56I'm not lying about this.
01:17:57He raped me!
01:17:58That wasn't the question.
01:18:00The question is, are you capable of lying to get what you want?
01:18:03We all are!
01:18:04We all are not accusing someone of a crime they did not commit.
01:18:07So I'm going to ask you the question again, and I will ask the court to instruct you to
01:18:10the answer with a yes or no answer.
01:18:13Are you capable of lying to get what you want?
01:18:15Yes!
01:18:18And what is it that you want, Dacia?
01:18:22Justice.
01:18:23Really?
01:18:24I was thinking more money or revenge.
01:18:30Twenty years ago, your mother was raped, wasn't she?
01:18:32Rape shield, Your Honor.
01:18:34That case was thrown out, Your Honor.
01:18:35Rape shield doesn't apply.
01:18:40Was your mother raped, Dacia?
01:18:42Yes.
01:18:43And the men who did it were never convicted, were they?
01:18:45No.
01:18:46And you're the result of that rape, correct?
01:18:48Yes, I am.
01:18:49How does that make you feel, Dacia, about your father who raped your mother and was never
01:18:54convicted of it and abandoned both you and her?
01:18:57Not very good.
01:18:58Not good.
01:18:59It would piss me off.
01:19:02In fact, it would anger me so much so that I would want to find my father and hurt him physically.
01:19:10Have you ever wanted to hurt your father, Dacia?
01:19:12Yes.
01:19:13But you can't, can you?
01:19:15Because you don't know who he is.
01:19:17In fact, the only thing you know is that the people responsible for raping your mother were rappers.
01:19:22Is that correct?
01:19:24Yes.
01:19:25It has been your mission since adulthood to make rappers pay for the mistreatment of women because of what happened to your mother.
01:19:32And be careful how you answer that question, Dacia.
01:19:35Because I am a beast when it comes to obtaining information.
01:19:38No, it is not.
01:19:40Are you sure you want to go down this path with me?
01:19:43Bring it on.
01:19:45Because your client raped me.
01:19:50I will say that the question and answer between you and Dacia was the highlight of the trial.
01:19:56But in the end, she ultimately won, wouldn't you say?
01:20:01No.
01:20:02I mean, not to sound totally arrogant, but I destroyed her on that witness stand and I told her.
01:20:08I forewarned her not to go down that road with me.
01:20:12But the verdict.
01:20:13What about it?
01:20:14And what happened to Six's brother, thugged out?
01:20:17Where is the cameras?
01:20:22You think I'm playing with you? Huh?
01:20:24You think I'm playing with you?
01:20:26Where is the cameras?
01:20:30You can do what you want with me.
01:20:32Cause I ain't telling you to come.
01:20:35Bring her out.
01:20:41What you doing, B?
01:20:42I need those cameras, see?
01:20:45Those cameras prove my brother didn't rape Dacia.
01:20:48And I'm gonna do whatever I have to do to get her.
01:20:51You leave her out of us.
01:20:53It's between you and me.
01:20:56You have three seconds.
01:21:00Chill, B. You ain't no killer.
01:21:02Put the gun down.
01:21:05Leave her out of us.
01:21:06We can work this out.
01:21:07You think I won't do it?
01:21:11You think I won't do it?
01:21:12You think I won't do it?
01:21:13Look, I swear I don't know.
01:21:17Three.
01:21:18Number two.
01:21:19Let's go.
01:21:21Slow.
01:21:24Untie her.
01:21:41Tough gun.
01:21:43Let's go, Blaze.
01:21:50After what your brother did, you won't consider yourself lucky.
01:21:53So that's how you gonna do?
01:21:55Just take the money in the cameras?
01:21:57Keep them cameras.
01:21:59You ain't gonna help your brother out.
01:22:02Blaze?
01:22:04Burdickson.
01:22:07I ain't gonna get your heads in.
01:22:10Let's go. Let's go.
01:22:13Get off of me! Get off of me!
01:22:18Get off of me!
01:22:19Get off of me!
01:22:20You've been older.
01:22:23Madam Foreman, has the jury reached an unanimous verdict?
01:22:27What did you feel when you heard the jury's verdict?
01:22:31We have, Your Honor.
01:22:34What do you think I felt?
01:22:36What say you?
01:22:37We, the jury, find the defendant, Tony Hall, on the charge of rape in the first degree.
01:22:48Not guilty.
01:22:49I don't know.
01:22:50You tell me.
01:22:51What did you feel?
01:22:52Victorious.
01:22:53And what did you feel for Deja?
01:22:54If what Deja claimed happened to her had actually happened, I would have felt for her.
01:22:55But since it didn't, I feel nothing.
