Still can't believe it. The library? You going to catch this guy? We are trying. We were pretty close. We met here every day. She usually walks in like now. That was her chair. What did you do here? Boy watching? College boys. We just came for the coffee. What about Bridget? Did she have a boyfriend? Not since Brent. The business student? He moved to LA last summer. How about somebody off campus, older with money? A sugar daddy? Is that what you call them? I guess the name survives every generation. Bridget was more interested in a guy with a good sense of humor. Yeah, she used to go to museums. She was an art history major. So where would she have gotten an expensive pair of diamond earrings? Bridget? Oh, I don't think so. She was on scholarship. Did anybody see her yesterday? We grabbed a burger before she went to the library about 5. After work? After step aerobics. Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays 3 to 4. Miss Taggart, we need to talk to you about Bridget Callan. I don't know what else I could tell you. Anyway, I I know this is going to sound terrible, but I've got to meet a real estate broker. I'm in between apartments. Where are you living? My father. What do you want to know anyway? The names of Bridget Callan's Johns. For what? We know, Miss Taggart. You Detective Curtis here is the Mr. Jenkins you said Donna Richland to last night at the Half Good House. I don't know what you're talking about. >> Donna told us. That I sent her to a hotel? >> Look, all we need are the names of the people you sent Bridget Callan to. I still don't know what you're talking about. >> out to get your little prostitution ring. All we want to do is >> Look, I don't know what Donna told you, but this is ridiculous. I have an appointment. I'm late. I just started this whole thing to help my father. I knew what was going on at those trade shows with his clients and those escorts, and I knew they were trouble. They stole. So you volunteered to help out. I knew what Bridget and her friends were doing. I told my father. We've heard testimony that you and she argued the day she was killed. Yeah. About her borrowing my outfits and not returning them. We fought like little girls about clothes. It was stupid. It was nothing. Did you see Bridget the night she was killed? No. Then how did your fingerprints come to be on her study desk? We used to study in the stacks together all the time. I used to sit at that desk sometimes. Did you ever see your father in the library? Yes. He would sometimes come and meet me and Bridget and then take us for a drink. He met her through me. Did he have any trouble getting into the stacks? He's an alumnus. He has a card. I see. What about Bridget's cameo? How did that come to be in the apartment you shared with your father? My father brought it there. He told me >> Objection, Your Honor. There's only one place the witness can be going with this. So? Let's hear her testimony. If Mr. McCoy has an objection, he can make it then. After she accuses her father of this murder, once that bell is rung, I can't unring it. I want an offer of proof before she says another word. I'll see the lawyers and Miss Taggart in my chambers. Now. It's a desperate act by the defendant to manufacture reasonable doubt. There is no evidence to support the allegation. That's what we're here to determine, Mr. McCoy. Is it in fact your intention, Miss Taggart, to accuse your father of this murder? He told me he killed Bridget. Did he tell you why? Not really. I know he was having an affair with her. [Music] I was home that night studying when my father came in. He was very upset. How could you tell? He didn't say hi. He just poured a drink and then he started to cry. What did he say? He had just had a fight with Bridget. She wanted to break up with him. She said he was too old. He grabbed and pushed her. And it was an accident. But she was dead. Did he have this cameo, People's Exhibit 11, with him? Yes. He said he grabbed Bridget by it and it broke off in his hand. He didn't even realize he had it until he got home. If it was an accident, why didn't he turn himself over to the police? He said he was afraid they'd investigate and find out about the prostitution. He didn't want me to get in trouble. He was only thinking about me. Thank you. If your father killed Bridget Callan, why were you the one who fled the country? I told you he didn't want me to get in trouble. Over the non-existent prostitution charges? I didn't think that they were non-existent. I never thought I'd be arrested for murder. It wasn't murder anyway. He didn't mean to kill her. And he didn't mean to take the cameo with him. No. Even though he gave it to her, you're sure he didn't want to get it back. >> Objection. Calls for speculation. I'll rephrase. You're sure you didn't want it back? Why would I? I don't know. Why did it wind up in your desk drawer? I was hiding it. I thought it might be used for evidence. I wanted to protect my father. You and he are close, aren't you? Yes. Being so close, how did you feel about your father giving expensive jewelry to Bridget Callan? It was none of my business. But she was your business. How did you feel about your father getting involved with one of your hoors? >> doing this? I didn't kill her. And he didn't mean to. She fell and she hit her head. You're sure about that, aren't you? Yes. Because you were there. Because you pushed her. >> No! He told me. He told me I'm I'm sorry, Daddy. Sorry. [Music] Has the jury reached a verdict? We have, Your Honor. The defendant will rise. On the sole count of the indictment, murder in the second degree, how do you find? We find the defendant Shelly Taggart not guilty. The defendant is dismissed. Court is adjourned. [Music] [Music]
