will never go away. i m never going to have my son back. i don t get to go to his high school graduation. or see him go to college. i had no idea what had happened! it was like a meteor hitting. potsdam rescue, need an ambulance. a 12-year-old kid. loved to ride his scooter everywhere. lost his life at the hands of a killer. he s a soccer coach! great person on and off the field, a great role model. there is absolutely nothing connecting him to this case. they don t have the fingerprint. they don t have blood. they don t have the witness. there s a darkness that s at work here. you believe nick hillary killed your boy? yes. people call me a murderer. i m 100% innocent. you could have heard a pin drop in that courtroom. way upstate new york. a small speck on the map on the road to the canadian border. that they like to joke up there that there s more cows than people, and i don t think they re joking. in this sleepy place, with a main street from th
he can assert his fifth amendment privilege. april 2012. tom purposely picked a non-descript conference room in potsdam s municipal building for nick s deposition. he chose not to videotape it. i wanted to keep it low-key. cause in the event he s talking, i want him to keep talking. how did it go? well, mr. hillary was talking. tom s main goal was to get nick to admit that he was in the car seen on that security camera video. up until then police had suspicions, but no proof. unlike the movies, you can t zoom in on the license plate or let s let s zoom in on the guy s eyeglasses and oh, that s that s so-and-so behind the wheel. it doesn t work that way. so the number one question at that time was, is that nick hillary in his car in that parking lot? so tom asked a series of questions and, to his surprise, nick readily answered them. mr. hillary, at any point on october 24th of 2011, were you at potsdam high school? yes. how did you get there?
bynum assertion holding haitian migrants and a third country or even at guantánamo bay ahead of unexpected exodus out of haiti. that is according to two u.s. officials and an in turning plan a looming document. i knew brazil leftist workers party candidate silva has been elected. nearly defeating a far-right incumbent bolsonaro. brazil has been verified by brazil superior court. now back to dateline. may 2014. 2 1/2 years after garrett phillips skated home for the last time, d.a. mary rain was finally putting the case before a grand jury. her key piece of evidence? if i make a left out the parking lot nick hillary s own words from his video deposition for his lawsuit against the potsdam police. no one can talk about grand jury arguments, but the civil
oath again in the civil lawsuit nick brought against police. i prayed, honestly, for for some guidance and to to just to be able to do my job and to help in whatever way that i can. this time lieutenant murray and his chief, who both happen to be defendants in the lawsuit, would be sitting in on the deposition, taking notes for their criminal investigation. and nick would be on video. how are you going to advance your story? what s the strategy? well, i want him to reaffirm all of the things that he s previously told me under oath. yes, that is my car. i m driving it. right. i want him to be saying it on camera because the whole purpose of videotaping this had nothing to do with the civil case at all. this is totally about this video is going to be played in front of a grand jury someday and a criminal jury someday. acting as de facto prosecutor, tom would be mary rain s best chance to get justice for garrett. good morning, mr. hillary. tom, heard off-camera, as
the murder. i was with my my daughter and my assistant coach during this time period. so they are what they call in criminal investigations your alibi witnesses? exactly. nick s teenaged daughter would say in a deposition that her dad was with her at their apartment here on leroy street from 5:00 to 5:15 p.m. assistant coach fairlie said nick came to his house here on garden street around 5:21. their accounts would seem to make it impossible for nick to have been here on market street about 5:00 p.m. when garrett was being attacked. there were no arrests. there was no grand jury. there s no indictments. there s nothing. they really were kind of at at their wits end in a sense. police did pull up security video around potsdam, and they noticed a car that looked like nick s honda crv, creeping through the high school parking lot around the time garrett was to skate by. but the camera shots were too far away to i.d. plates or the driver. despite the continuing lack of
