>> Why is the concept of innocent until proven guilty fundamental in a fair and just society?
>> Anyone?
>> To give people like his soontobe felon mom hope.
>> Wow, that's messed up.
>> Okay, that is enough, Mr. Cruz. No, the concept is essential in justice for a purpose of due process.
And Mrs. Hill last year, now she's a felon. It's crazy.
>> Yes. Someone said she was a blackout drunk when she >> Wow.
>> I heard >> now all these rumors being spread.

>> Like the principal right there?
>> Yep.

I don't care. He's my son. Just get it done.
Dad, >> it's okay, Logan. I'm here.
>> What happened?
>> It's handled, son.

>> You don't have to worry about anything but getting better. Just relax.
>> So, what exactly happened?
>> I'm assigning you the hail, do you?
>> Hey, Rebecca.
>> But sir, I can't take this case. She's my best friend. That's a clear conflict of interest.
>> Only if you let your personal life interfere.

>> Listen, I need my best person on this.
>> And I'm putting a lot of faith in you on this one. Win this case and I guarantee your career will be >> No, this is a conflict of interest.

>> Yeah.
>> Who did this?
>> Huh?
>> What' you expect? Your drunk wife broke the captain's kid's leg.
>> Our wife's not drunk.
>> Not according to our breathalyzer. You know, apparently we know more about your own wife than you.
>> Oh my god. No, don't do that.
>> That's enough.
>> Hail, you suspended 2 weeks without pay.
Are you serious? Why'd you go get a drink? H >> Oh, >> get back to work.
>> Oh, that's messed up.
>> That's just been bullying. Unbelievable.
It's all >> Look, you you you you you got to stop doing this, okay? I I don't want you to get hurt.
>> Doing what? Defending my boyfriend.
>> Everyone at the school hates me already.
They I don't need them to hate you, too.
Maybe. And just hear me out before you get mad.
>> Maybe we should break up.
>> What?
>> Not Not for real. Just for show at school. Why they don't drag you along with >> No, not happening. That would mean the jerks like Tony won.
>> Yeah.
>> Time to go home, Marcus.
>> What? Why? He just got here.
>> Because I said so. I No. Um Hey, hey, hey. It's fine.

>> Oh.
What was that about?
>> Look, we need to talk.
>> Talk about what?
>> I don't know what happened.
>> Just level with me. What chances does my wife have?
>> Well, from what I hear, the district attorney is making her case a priority.
>> They've assigned one of their best prosecutors. And well, >> he's a shark.
>> He's a shark.
That's not good.
>> But I'll do my best.
>> Oh, we bumble.
>> Hey, >> listen.
>> No, you don't like my cooking.
>> So, pizza instead.
>> Figure we do pizza instead.
>> That peeu lawyer's defending mom.
>> I heard Sophia's mom make fun of him. He always loses.
Dad, I mean, we couldn't find anybody better.
We can't afford better.
>> And no one even take my phone calls. Oh.
>> Oh, this sucks.
>> I want to know what really happened.
What's the truth?
>> 5,000.
>> Wow.
Hey, Sofh.
>> You okay? What happened?
>> My mom was assigned your mom's case by her boss and she took it.
>> Wait, what?
>> She said she had no choice.
She also said she said the case against your mom is stronger than she realizes.
>> No.
>> Is she serious?
>> She's known my mom her whole life. I know, Marcus. You don't think there's a chance your mom actually >> No, no, no. Okay. Zero chance. My mom doesn't drink.
>> Okay. Okay. I believe you. I am on your side no matter what.
>> Oh, I'm >> sorry.
>> That was tough on Marcus.
>> I'm not mad at you. I just I want to help my mom, but I have no idea how to do that.
>> I know. Figure out a way together.
>> We'll figure out a way together. Okay.
>> Yeah. Okay.
Sopia's mom. What are you going to do?
>> You lied to me.
>> Oh, mama did.
>> My god.
So, so Marcus's mom has more secrets.
Sophia, what are you doing?
You can't do that. That's illegal.
That's Oh, no.
>> Welcome back.
>> We missed you.
>> Hey, we would have won by 20 points if she had been there.
And son, everyone supports you.
>> Uh-oh.
>> Don't you have something to say to my son?
>> He's not the one who hit your son.
>> If it wasn't for your mother, my son would be out there tonight winning a title for the school.
>> My mother is innocent.
>> Trust me, son. She's not. And soon she'll be.
>> Look, it's not up to you to decide. It's up to the court. Come on, Marcus.
Oh.
Oh man, >> we want to find out what's the truth.
>> We're really happy. So glad you're back.
Thanks.
>> When Miss Hell did it to you? I honestly hope they throw away the key. You know what I mean?
>> Okay. Am I the only one who thinks it's messed up that he's allowed to be in class with Logan? I mean, his mom is the reason he's in a wheelchair.
>> You don't know that. She's innocent until proven guilty, right? Look at her still defending her.
>> Of course I'm going to defend.
>> Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Look. I don't need you to keep fighting my battles for me. Okay. Broken up. What don't you get?
>> Oh, dude.
>> I think it's best in class reading the next assignment >> in the library.
>> Oh, dude. That's is so messed up.
So, what truly happened to Logan? How did he really get injured?
>> A drunk.
>> Wow. They're vandalizing houses now.
Totally not cool.
Hi. Um, sorry. I I uh I saw your your mom's car in the driveway. I thought this would be safer. Um, I I just want to come and check on you.
>> I'm sorry. I I know in class it was it was a little harsh, but I just I just I just want to protect you.
>> I know.
It's not necessary. It's not necessary, but I know I'm the one who's sorry. I can't believe my mom is doing this to your family.
It's >> But I have something that might help.
>> Oh, no. Sophia, don't do it.
>> If the public defender is as bad as my mom says, >> it'll be up to us to find whatever he misses.
>> Thank you.
>> Thank you for Sophia. I'm going to go back.
>> Marcus, >> what did I say about having him over?
>> Mom, you're being so unfair.
>> No. Um, no. She's right. I'll leave you.
>> Well, you know, wait.
>> You are not going anywhere, young lady.
What were you thinking? The whole town is watching this trial.
>> Are you even listening to yourself? Mrs. Hail is your friend, and you're betraying her. Look, I know this is difficult for you to understand, but I >> we want to know what what really what is really going on. What's the truth behind this whole thing? I feel like there's more to it.
>> How's the hell file coming along?
>> Should be open.
>> Should be open and shut.
>> That's what I like to hear.
Traffic collision. Okay. I compare the two papers.
>> Is Logan back at school yet?
>> Good. And how about my class?
>> Does everyone miss me?
>> Mom, everyone?
Uh, I I mean, yeah.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Every everyone misses you.
>> And how's Cynthia holding up? Have either of you checked in on her?
>> Um, honey, >> she's prosecuting.
>> She's prosecuting you.
>> I know. I know. She has her reasons.
That doesn't mean I don't love her.
>> How can you both be so calm about this?
The whole town has turned against you, even your best friend.
>> It's going to be okay. But how can you say that?
>> I mean, look what look where we are.
>> Yeah.
>> It looks pretty bleak.
>> She's trying to be strong.
>> But remember, the truth always comes out in the end, and it will this time.
>> So, you just get >> She's not giving up. She's She's just waiting for the truth to come out, I guess.
Let him go.
>> Poor Marcus.
>> Sweetie.
>> Sweetie.
>> You know he's right.
>> There's more we can do and you know it.
>> Cynthia.
>> I can talk to Cynthia.
>> No. We We already went over this, Marcus. No, I won't do that to Cynthia.
Just leave it in the past where it belongs.
>> But you know they won't.
>> Thomas, please.
from me.
>> Dad's in a tough position, too.
Oh, >> looks like mom noticed something.
>> These call logs are not lining up.
>> Oh, why would the chief do that?
Oh, Marquez.
Oh, you'll be in so much trouble if people find out about this. Oh, Sophia.
Oh, >> hey.
You're scaring me. Um, you shouldn't you shouldn't be here. If your mom knew.
>> I don't care what my mom says. I'm not giving up on your mom.
>> Okay.
Well, uh, then you can start by explaining to me what this soul means.
>> Well, hey, at least you still Sophia has your back.
Marcus like a nothing.
>> Marcus, you need to see this.
What?
What is it? What? What can it be?
>> Got a DUI when she was 17.
>> It has to be some sooner state.
>> According to this, it was taken off record after 3 years of probation, but >> it's real.
>> Oh.
Thank you.
>> I've been meaning to talk to you.
>> I've been meaning to talk to you. You're the only person besides Mrs. Hail who knows what happened that night.
>> Look, I got to get to class.
>> Ask some questions.
>> I can't. I'm I'm sorry.
>> Oh, so it looks like Logan's hiding something.
>> Very suspicious.
>> Hey, boss.
I want to bring in Officer Lee and Chief Briggs in for more questioning about the Hail case.
>> What?
>> Why?
>> You said this was an open show case.
>> It is.
>> But Briggs called off the first unit that responded to the accident and then he ordered Lee to take the call instead even though he was further away.
>> That's odd, isn't it?
>> Don't bother the chief.
He's been through enough. But I have questions.
>> Why would you?
>> If you want to keep your job, >> don't ask question.
>> Conspiracy to >> be answered.
>> Or maybe I was wrong about you.
>> Maybe your career isn't as important to you as I thought.
>> Mm- You're trying to pin something on an innocent person.
Cynthia, we need to talk.
>> I can't talk to you, especially not here.
>> Wait, please. It's really important.
Just meet me at the coffee shop just one block over.
Yeah.
>> What are you going to do? What are you going to do?
>> Rebecca made me promise not to tell you what I'm about to say.
>> Okay. I'm just going to stop you right there. I already know about the DUI she got in high school and the fact that she lied to me about it for years. Right to my face.
>> No, she did lie.
>> Just not the way you think.
>> See, it was our graduation night.
>> It was our graduation night.
>> Rebecca and I were leaving a party after you have already left.
>> That's when we found you.
>> That's when we found you.
You accidentally mixed your medication with the drink at the party and blacked out.
>> You left the party to find Rebecca.
>> At least that's what they said. You thought you could drive.
Beex knew a DUI would cost you your scholarship. Your dream of going to law school will be over.
So, >> no.
Wow, that was a huge sacrifice.
She got behind the wheel, forgot that she had a glass of wine moments before chasing after you.
>> She was booked for a DUI.
>> Oh, >> I was driving that night.
>> Yeah.
>> And the judge wound up giving her probation. And she knew if she told you the truth that you would turn yourself in. and she couldn't let that happen.
>> Oh my god.
>> Cynthia, I know you're going to use that night and a trial.
>> So, I'm begging you, please do not do that.
>> I'm quitting the case tonight. Besides, >> besides, there's something really shady going on with it.
>> I just I know it. I just can't prove it yet.
>> Maybe I can help.
>> Proving cases is kind of my job.
Doesn't make any sense. Luke, >> what? Teaming up >> here. We can work in the living room.
>> Mom, what are you doing with Mr. Hail?
>> Coming to my senses.
>> Wait, are you going to help?
>> My best friend needs me.
>> Oh, yes.
All right, let's get to work.
>> Yeah. Uh, >> wow. It looks like there's more and more people.
>> I guess you're right, Mom.
>> Why are you here?
>> Why are you here?
>> The guard said my lawyer wanted to meet with me.
>> She does. I resigned from the DA's office this morning, and I'll be filing a motion with the judge to defend you.
>> Oo, nice.
>> If you'll let me.
new substantive counselor.
>> Thomas told me the truth about the accident.
My accident. I specifically asked him not to.
>> I'm glad that he did. What you did for me that night?
>> I owe you feeling.
>> Sophia and I both.
>> Wow.
I promise I will never abandon you again.
>> They changed it by five points.
>> Yeah, >> Logan.
>> Look, no. Wait. Please, please, just please just just listen to me, man.
Look, you you you know my mom. She's the teacher that always stayed late to help her students, no matter what. She's the woman that brought you and your dad dinner for months after your mom passed away.
Look, I don't know what happened that night, but I do know one thing.
My mom would never do something like this.
>> Yeah, I look Get away from my son.
>> Oh.
Oh, >> something is really, really shady.
>> Can you tell us the last thing you remember from the night of the crash?
>> I just remember um seeing Mrs. sales car run that red light and and and I served to avoid it and and that's it.
>> No further questions, your honor.
>> The witness may step down.
>> Court is adjourned. We'll reconvene tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
>> It's okay.
>> Boy has a broken leg. Get the stretcher.
Have you been drinking?
>> Ma'am?
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
>> What's that?
>> Officer Lee's body cam footage from the accident.
>> Wait, wait, wait, wait a second. Hold on.
>> Look at the time stamp. It's wrong.
Okay, I've been I've been staring at the report for 2 weeks. Okay, look.
>> See the time stamps? They don't match up.
Someone altered the >> your mom's breathalyzer was the first to be administered and >> that was the clean one, >> which means Logan was the one drinking and driving.
>> Oh, >> and that explains why the chief ordered Lee to take the call.
>> Oh, >> that guy does whatever the chief says.
>> So, the chief ordered Lee to falsify the reports and then he calls his friend, the DA, to help him cover it up.
>> Something is going on between them. I just kid.
>> Okay. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
>> In order to prove this, we need the original field reports from the police station. I'll call them.
>> No, no, you can't. If someone altered the records once, they'll do it again the moment they know we're on to them.
>> We have to get the records without anyone at the station knowing.
>> How?
>> I'm suspended. And the moment I walk in, they'll know that something's up.
>> You still have the keys to the record room?
>> Yeah. Why?
>> What's your idea, Marcus?
>> Hey guys, I just wanted to come and thank you for all the years we've worked together back when I was at the DA's office. So, I brought donuts.
>> Come on. There's plates in the break room.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Donuts.
Red room.
That was a best.
>> Uh-oh.
>> What are you doing here? I thought you quit.
>> But sir, she brought donuts. Your favorite kind.
>> Back to work, both of you. Oh, >> and you out now.
Oh, is he did he is he on to something?
Oh. Oh. Uh oh. The kids. The kids. Get away. Oh, please don't get caught.
>> Oh, just dates.
>> Oh, the chief is on his way. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick.
Oh my god. Where did the kids go? Where did they hide, >> bro? This is right there. Wait.
>> Hide. Hide. Hide.
>> Oh. Oh.
>> Oh.
Oh, that was close.
Your >> honor, we discovered evidence that the defendant's breathalyzer report has been tampered with. We moved to strike it from the record.
>> Objection, your honor.
>> There's no clear chain of custody in any of this new evidence.
In fact, Chief Briggs says that the records room at a station was breached just this morning.
>> Oh, breached by whom? Unclear.
But the timing sure seems suspicious.
>> Wouldn't you agree?
>> Objection sustained.
>> The report stands as it is.
>> Wait a second, your honor. This is our whole case. My client was sober.
>> If this is your entire case, I'm afraid your client is facing some serious prison time.
>> What? You serious? What?
>> Your honor?
>> Oh my god.
Whoa. Whoa. This is this is ridiculous.
>> Is there anything further?
>> Wow.
>> Does the defense rest?
>> Oh, yes, your honor.
>> Oh, this is tough.
>> The court is prepared to give us ruling.
>> Considering the facts of this matter, the court finds a defendant guilty.
>> Wait.
Wait.
I'm sorry, your honor. I need to change my testimony.
>> Oh, Logan's coming out to tell the truth.
>> Something I should have done a long time ago. Telling the truth.
I lied.
When I said that I wasn't drinking that night, I I didn't think I was buzzed when I got and then I I ran that red light and and I I'm so sorry.
>> Oh, by the time the hospital, >> my dad told me that I had to go along with this story and and I I never should have I >> I'm so sorry.
>> This is outrageous.
>> This is outrageous. Clearly, my son hit his head a lot harder than we thought during the crash.
In light of this new admission, all charges are dismissed.
>> Oh, yes.
>> Yes. Mama's right.
>> Yep.
>> Thank you.
>> Please, Chief and just take a turn.
>> Here they come.
>> Welcome back.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Welcome back.
Oh, >> wow. That's a lot of gifts.
>> Wow. See, >> prove innocence. Oh, you know what? It's all thanks to Logan for finally telling the truth in the end. Good for you, Logan.
>> Mhm. Then, what did you guys think about this video in the comments? And we'll see you in the next video.
>> And if you like these types of videos, like and subscribe >> and see you next time. Bye >> bye.
>> Until we meet again.
