Lipsticks the same shade ms. Bailey was wearing. See this water spot here . There was a bottle there. Noits over here in a million little pieces. She threw it at her attacker. So he picked up the poker and came after her. I dont understand why she didnt use e of these knives to defend herself with. Im guessing theres a good reason nobody heard anybody nning across the roof. If the perp put his bloody hand down here to hop over, the blood would smear outward, away from us. This blood is smeared toward us. So the blood is planted to make it look like the perp took off across the roof. Meaning he probably went out the front door. He wasnt an intruder. He knew her. She probably invited him in. Then he mes at her with a poker. And rapes her with a wooden spoon. Cant wait to catch this guy. Well, it implies sexual rage,ealousy. Well, the housekeeper says theres been a lot of guys since her divorce from the senator. Tarus working on getting ms. Baileys phone dumps. The only thing on tap for last night was a benefit new york Parks Conservancy. Well, she might have had someone walk her down the red carpet. At least hold her up. Housekeeper also said ms.

Then i heard the please, why dont we go to my office . This way. In my worst nightmares, i never imagined it would end this way for nicole. I mean, despite all that happened between us, i only wished the best for her. Well, were very sorry for your loss, senator. When was the last time you spoke to her . Last night. She called me at home, uh, a little after 9 00. What did she call about . Our son, chaz, is living with me they had a falling out, and she wanted me to help mend the fences. Where was your son last night . Its allight, lieutenant. I know that members of the immediate family are always the prime suspects. Chaz was at home. With me. green do you know if ms. Bailey was alone when she called you . bailey alone . green hmm. She didnt say. I didnt ask. But, since you bring it up, nicole hated to be alone. And, no doubt, you will discover that she was involved in all kinds of, um. Highrisk behavior. I managed to keep it out of the papers all these years. And id like it to stay that way, if possible, for the sake of our son. We understand. Well, i appreciate everything youre doing. Uh, if anything develops, i expect you to call me. In the meantime, ill. Have my lawyer get in touch with you. All right. Bye. Thats a smart politician. The new york Parks Conservancy. Lets e if ms.

Okay, would you mind emailing us these photos . Sure. All right, thanks. Nicoles phone dump confirms she called the senator at 9 05. But right after that, she made two more phone calls to a trina bailey, stepdaughter. Senators kid from his first marriage. That was about ten minutes after those photos were taken. Wonder what took her attention off mr. Hot sauce. It was money. She just got off the phone with dad. They had an argument about her alimony. She thought id be sympathet. Well, your dad said that she called him about their son chaz. Chaz, divorce, alimony, money. Thats how their conversations always went. So were you sympathetic to your stepmother . trina dad bullied her into a settlement. So, sure, i was sympathetic. I liked nicole. I was eight when my dad married her, until i realized that it wasnt all about me. Narcissism, the nations numberone killer. And theres no cure. [laughs] [cans clatter] you okay . Your arm seems to i just, uh. Yoga. I must have pulled something. And what happened here . Looks like someone kicked it in. There were some workmen here. Ms. Bailey. Is everything all right . Of course. man damn it every time i come home, i trip over your stupid shoes trina trina, where the hell are you . trina detectives, this is my husband, jim kirkpatrick. Jim, say hello to the police. Theyre here about nicole. We were just asking your wife about the last time she talked to her. Do you mind ife ask you the same thing . I saw her last night. At this charity thing in the park. You spoke to her . I ran into some of my old students. Jims a ski instructor. But now im into leisure industry websites. Sounds interesting. Yeah. Excuse me. cassady again, im very sorry about your stepmother. Going by those photos, the conversation didnt stop at hello. Yeah, hes beating his wife and banging her stepmother. Our ski instructors on a slippery slope. And hes got a temper. If nicole threatened to blow the whistle on him. Rage and lust. That would explain the wooden spoon. Mes ready for us. She got 19 whacks from the fire poker. Most of them directed at her head. She has bruises on her hands, broken nails, which might be defensive. She might have hit her attacker. Sexual assault . No semen, no differentiated pubic hairs. But there was a wooden spoon. Yes, but, again, no abrasions, no lacerations. And the spoon was inserted once, not repeatedly in and out, reminds me, i have to bake a cake for my nephew. Whatever he said to her doesnt look like good news. Could have been what set her off to call the senator and the stepdaughter. A Chain Reaction that ended up with thi maybe someone used it to make a point. I pulled the phone records for the entire family. At 21 00 hours, the switchboard lit up. Nicole calling trina and the senator. Jim calling trina. Trina calling the senator. Senator calling nicole and trina. Maybe its time we touched base with the senator.

Me and nicole . Come on, no. I went home. What time . I dont know i had a lot to drink ask trina. She knows i went home. I sorta did something to her arm. She told me when i woke up. Your alibi for the murder was that you were home beating your wife . Jim came home about 10 30. He was loaded. I was sick of it. He twisted my arm. You know, you can get an order of protection. Thats not our style. Even today this guy didnt mind hitting on you, in front of your father. Jim knows better than to do anything in front of dad. You mean today. It was your father . We were having an argument about whats best for my brother chaz. And. I mouthed off. Your dad hits you, and you blame yourself . Did he abuse your stepmother too .

Well, obviously we were all under a great strain. So you take it out on each other. Ishat a question, miss . Who hit your daughter . [sighs] well, i might have. She said something despicable about her stepmother. You do that often hit your daughter . Easy, easy. You went to see her. Are you deaf, or are you just stupid . I told you i was with my son at home sit down. I have been completely honest with you. Nonot completely. We found some calls you didnt mention. One to your daughter, yeah, wellwell.

Its not smart. A good cop never takes the bait, never escalates. You better decide quick what you wanna be a good cop or a cop with no place on my squad come in. Bailey clammed up. Hes waiting on his lawyer now. Theres no point in moping about it. He gave us an alibi. Nail it down. Were sorry about your mother, man. Yeah. Do you rember where you were that night . Hugging the radiator. Except when dad let me use the bathroom. With the door open, of course. He kept an eye on you all night . It was cozy. Me on methadone, nodding out on the floor.

Whatd you say about making a point . Trina have any history of violence as an adult . Two arrests for assaulting an officer during dwi stops. Her only alibi was her husband, the ski instructor, and he was too hammered to remember anything. Ill draw up a warrant.

Docket number07549. People v. Randall bailey, murder in the second degree. The honorable barry k. Dilwynn presiding. All right. Your plea, sir. Not guilty. Uhhuh. You getting this . Judge. There are no cameras allowed in the courtroom. Areare you in pain, senator . Can we get this man an extra pillow . Thank you. Im fine. People request remand. The defendant was caught literally redhanded stabbing his daughter to death. Whoa, matter of opinion, your honor. My client is a former u. S. Senator and president ial candidate. Hes hardly a flight risk. Right. And. Obviously, under the weather. Im not sure we need any bail here. Youre releasing a man charged with a brutal murder . Im sure that thatll put the viewing public at ease. On further consideration, bail is set at 2 million. Judge dilwynn . Never heard of him. He rotated in from Surrogates Court. This trial deserves better. Hes brutalized his family for 30 years. Man. You just never know, do you . This time, he went way beyond abuse. A motion in limine to offer evidence about trinas prior bad acts. Including evidence she murdered her stepmother. Only one reason theyd do that. Bailey must be claiming selfdefense. Hmm. Still the brilliant campaigner. dilwynn oh, hold on, hold on. Youre moving to preclude what, mr. Mccoy . Any and all evidence that the victim killed her stepmother. That fact is highly relevant to senator baileys state of mind at the time he was viciously attacked by his daughter. Its neither relevant nor a fact. All right, people. I have another concern. I see here that senator bailey has a son. Do we really want this young man subjected to the intimate details of his mothers murder in open court . Well, hes already being subjected to endless speculation. Isnt he better off with some closure . Chaz baileys wellbeing should have no bearing on this motion [scoffs] maybe closure is the best thing for this poor boy. Im ruling that mr. Glover may submit evince that trina bailey killed her stepmother. Have you even read our brief, judge . This evidence is highly prejudicial. Oh, mr. Mccoy, theres a family here drowning in tragedies. Whats the right thing to do . Thththeres the law. With aa capital l. And theres people too but im not supposed to think about them. But i am thinking about them. Judge. Im going to ask that you recuse yourself from this case. Its clear that your service in Surrogates Court has not prepared you to preside over a murder case. Im not prepared . [sniffs] well, now, i am. Insulted. And you. Are denied. Mr. Mccoy. [pounds gavel] [softly] this man is not qualified we better make sure we get all our ducks in a row. Okay, so. You wanna know what it was like between my dad and my sister . All right. How about, he got her drunk when she was ten. How about, he let one of his buddies grope her when she was 12. How about, he let her go to cancun by herself when she was 14. You were a little kid. How do you remember all this . Trina wrote everything down. Where . In a diary . I used to sneak into her room and read all the crap that my parents did to her. Where are those diaries now . She took em when she moved out. She still has em. How do you know that . The night mom was killed, dad was on the phone with trina. Sounded like she was gonna use them to write a book. There was nothing in thearrant returns. The police didnt find any diaries. The tellall memoir about this family might explain why theyre murdering each other. Maybe thats what trinas husband went to talk to nicole about the night she was killed. Maybe thats what got the ball rolling. Those diaries must be somewhere. Get the police on it. We searched baileys apartment twice after we arrested him. We searched trinas place. No diaries. Check their vacation homes, any Storage Facilities the family may have rented. No problem, and, uh. Heres my 61, as requested. Okay. Listen, on the stand, youll have to tell the narrative without all the police jargon. By jargon, you mean words like narrative . You know, nina, your runin with bailey in interrogation is gonna comup. Look, i may have botched an interrogation, lost control, but i dont have anything against the guy. Theyll say its why youre lying about bailey stabbing himself. And, frankly frankly what . I saw him. They can say whatever they want. I am 100 on that. Nina. You come off like a hothead the way you are now, it plays right into his hands. Hows our star witness . A work in progress. We struck out on the diaries, jack. We may not need the actual books if we can prove theyre unavailable and have indicia of reliability, chaz can testify to the contents. [electronic ring] its a message from detective green. Chaz odd last night. He was rushed to st. Vincents. Gonna pull through . Apparently. They shipped him off to rehab this morning. In switzerla. Continuance, huh . What grounds . A key prosecution witness, chaz bailey, will be unavailable for two months. Oh, no. Did something happen to this young man . Hes in drug rehab in switzerland. Ah. Thank god. Finally getting the help he needs. mccoy hes beyond our subpoena power. I suspect senator bailey had something to do with thehoice of facilities. Mr. Mccoy, how can you stand there and vilify this man for trying to save his sons life crying and i only hope that you and i never experience. Ah. Oh. Huh. Oh. I only hope that you and i never experience. The kind of heartbreak this family has suffered. mccoy so, your honor, youre granting the peoples application for a continuance . No, im not delaying this trial. Senator baileys entitled to his day in court. Hes not in jail. Theres no prejudice. Yes. But i have to weigh the human cost of a delay. This family has been in limbo long eugh. Motion for a continuance is denied. Trial starts next week. Oh. Get cassady ready. Work in progress or not, ba da ba ba ba someones hacked all our technology.

You ready . It doesnt work. Watch me. Boom oh samsung pay is here and pretty much everywhere else. cassady when i entered trina baileys bedroom, i saw her father straddling her and stabbing a knife into her chest. I drew my weapon and commanded him to drop the knife. Mr. Bailey started to poke at his owntomach with the knife until he started bleeding. When you first saw him, was there any blood on his shirt . Not a drop. When my partner entered, mr. Bailey dropped the knife and said, she came at me. She stabbed me. She was gonna kill me. She killed nicole. That little bitch killed my nicole. How convenient. Theres no one to corroborate your story. Withdrawn. Remind us how long youve been a detective. Eight months. Eight short months. Detective cassady, two days. Two days before you arrested senator bailey, you lashed out at him in an interview. Isnt that right . cassady i did not lash out. I responded to him calling me a pissy bitch. You responded by losing your cool to the point that your superior officer removed you from the room. My lieutenant asked me to leave when mr. Bailey started ranting and had to be restrained by three Police Officers. But it must have been humiliating. Wasnt it . To be given a time out by your boss. No. No. You wanted to get back at my client. Didnt you . And you got that chance two days later, when you found him defending his life. Thats when you decided to frame him for murder. Mr. Glover. If i really had it in for your client, i could have dropped him with a justifiable shooting when i found him stabbing his own daughter to death. But i didnt. Because i exercised the control i learned in my training. That control is why your client is alive today. Hmm. Nice answer. Mr. Glover. Nothing more. Trina asked me to come over to discuss for chazs sake, i went. A decision i regret with all my heart. Right away, trina started attacking me. On my parenting. Um. I tried to keep the focus on chaz. But that just infuriated her. She accused me of not caring about her. She called me all kinds of filthy names that i i cant repeat here. Then sheshe ran into theitchen and grabbed a knife. Why didnt you just leave, senator . I thought she would do harm to herself. Shed slit her wrists as a teenager. So naturally, when i saw the knife, thats where my mind went. gver what happened next . My paternal instinct was to get the knife from her. And. Somehow we woundp in her bedroom. I was wrestling her for the knife and she was stabbing me in the stomach. She was screaming that she was gonna kill me like she killed my exwife. But. I finally got the knife away from her. I could feel the blood draining out of me. But she kept coming at me. So. Lord forgive me for. Mymy instinct to defend myself kicked in and. I turned the knife on trina to stop her from attacking me. Thank you. mccoy lets be clear. You stabbed trina 13 times, didnt you . I was acting on instinct, mr. Mccoy. 13 separate thrusts piercing her liver, lungs, stomach it was a life or death struggle, sir. Between a strong, vigorous man and a slight woman. I told you, i s restraining this madwoman with all my might how . How were you defending yourself when she was stabbing you . With your hands . Yes with my hands. And yet, you sustained no cuts to your hands, your arms no defensive wounds. Im supposed to let myself get cut to pieces just in case i get accused of murder . Now, you say that my daughter was a small woman. Now, i say, look at her behavior. Time and time again, i bailed her out of jail for bar fits. For trying to run over a boyfriend with her car, for gods sake, twice twice she assaulted Police Officers when she was high on drugs. Its all on the record. There are other things on the record, senar bailey. Peoples 26 to 33. These are photos of injuries sustained by your daughter between the ages of 6 and 11. Broken ribs. Broken limbs. Playground injuries. All of them . who was she playing with, the new york giants . Watch your sarcasm, mr. Mccoy. Senator. No, of course not all of them. Im sad to say that. When shed had too much to drink, nicole. Sometimes victimized poor trina. And you, senator bailey, when you had too much to drink . Isnt this the imprint of your hand on your daughters face . Objection, your honor these matters were investigated. No charges were filed. Mr. Mccoy. Have you no shame . bailey uh, this is nothing new, your honor. After 30 years in public life, ive seen it all. Oh, its not enough for them to frame you for murder. Theyre out to destroy what little ive got left. My memies as a loving father god. Its inhuman. [sighs] any further questions, mr. Mccoy . Defense rests, your honor. dilwynn all right, very good. Witness is excused. Rebuttal, mr. Mccoy . Absolutely, your honor. The people call the assistant chief medical examiner. rodgers the records indicate mr. Bailey had eight puncture wounds. None of them was more than a half inch deep. They were uniform in nature and clustered to avoid vital organs. Now, in my opinion, they were inconsistent with a stabbing by an enraged attacker. In my opinion, they were selfinflicted. Selfinflicted. Thank you, doctor. Cayou determine from the wounds the position of the knife blade when it entered senator baileys body . The wounds indicate that the knife was positioned with the cutting edge down when it pierced the skin. Stabbing from above. Not conclusively. Well, doctor, if senator bailey had stabbed himself, wouldnt the cutting edge be positioned upward, not down . Not if the senator reversed the position of the knife in his hand, so that the cutting edge was facing downward. What are you saying . In t heat of the moment, with the police suddenly at the door, my client cleverly thought of this trick . Ll, theres nothing all that clever about it. He could have picked it up from a crime novel, for example. A crime novel . Youve an expert in crime novels now. [laughs] ive read my fair share. I remember now your resume listed one of your hobbies as reviewing crime books for small magazines. My client collects First Edition crime novels. Of course, that doesnt make him quite the expert you are. I didnt say i was an expert. Yes, but you said the stabbing trick could be found in a crime novel. Can you tell us which one . Thats not the point. You made the statement, doctor. Its in a book. You wouldnt say it unless y knew which one, unless you were just speculating. It wasnt speculation. I move to strike her lance drury. The trick was used in a book by lance drury. Twolane blacktop, publishein the 70s. One moment, your honor. glover one last question, doctor. You didnt examine senator baileys injuries urself, did you . No. Nothing further. Doctor, in the book you alluded to, a chacter raises a claim of selfdefense at his murder trial . Thats right and heas acquitted because the jury was fooled by his selfinflicted wounds. I have here a police inventory of the books found in the defendants library. Can you tell us what you see he . He collects lance drury First Editions. Hes missing only tee titles, including twolane blacktop. It wasnt instinct, but premeditation, that governed his actions. Right down to a defense scripted by one of his favorite authors. Its too. Cerebral. We need to show his brutality. We have the knife. We should use it. Hmm. [knock on door] hello, doctor. Who died . [chuckles] besides my reputation . Oh. That book that i mentioned on the stand today. I finally found it in a used bookstore. Theris no selfdefense trick. I remembered the wrong book. I confused it with another book by a different author. This is a letter to the judge explaining my stake. If its any consolation, the actual bk is one that a fan like bailey would have read. We have to disclose it. Why . Its not exculpatory. Its mistaken testimony. It wasnt intended as such. You give thiletter to that publicityseeking gas bag they call a judge, and you can kiss this trial goodbye. I dont agree. Im cutting thbook reference from my summation tomorrow.
