DR. PRASAD: The brain
is complex and beautiful,
and it's delicate, which
is why it needs protection.
The human skull is hard. Really hard.
KIM: So to fracture it
Isn't easy. It takes a lot of force.
How many separate fractures
of Jalil's skull were there?
Seven.
The result of seven separate blows?
Yes.
Each of those seven blows
Heavy.
When would Jalil have
lost consciousness?
After the first or
second blow, I believe.
So five or six blows to the head
were administered to an unconscious man?
DR. PRASAD: Looks that way.
Can you tell us about Jalil's cheekbone?
Completely shattered.
How would that feel?
Bone pain is the worst kind of pain.
Any doctor will tell you that.
What are the words?
Profound and shocking.
He would have known.
Jalil?
Logan.
Would have known what?
He would have heard
the crack in the bone
and felt it each time eight times.
What is that?

He was in a bad way.
I mean a very bad way.
- Can you describe that?
- Dark.
He just sits there
drinking and drinking.
Nobody can get near him.
It's a toxic combination,
alcohol and anger.
What was he angry about?
His partner's dead with an iron nail
through the back of his head,
and the guy that kills him
walks out of court a free man.
That's hard. All right?
And for Johnny? For Logan?
what do you do with a thing like that?
Where do you put something like that?
What was he drinking?
Shot after shot with IPA chasers.
How drunk was he?
He was inebriated. I
was worried about him.
And when did you leave?
10 minutes after Lieutenant Brannigan.
If you were so concerned
for Logan's well-being,
why did you leave him there?
I'll always regret that.
I thought that Wayne
would look after him.
All right? He's good at that.
But you want to know the real answer?
You can't help him
when he gets that way.
Try to talk to him, he just
gets angrier and darker.
He's untouchable.
Stepping in would be like taking the lid
off the pressure cooker.
I mean, it's got to come off,
but you don't want
to be the one to do it
because anything can happen,
and it's gonna be explosive.
Thank you.

What time was it when you left the bar?
About 6:30. With Gallagher.
You remember that? The The time?
- Yeah.
- Why?
I just did.
Hmm.
- You drove home?

Were you drunk?
- No.
- Were you sober?
I wouldn't drive if I weren't.
So we can rely on your
testimony being accurate,
precise, and complete, is that right?
- Absolutely.
- Excellent. Excellent.
How long to drive home?
- About 20 minutes.
- So, home before 7:00.
- Sounds right.
- Mm-hmm.
What did you do when you got home?
I called the lieutenant.
Where was he when you called him?
He was at home.
Why'd you call him?
Honestly?
Is Is there another way?

There were cops that wanted to

I could give you a list of names now

lives in the line of duty,

jury did what they did,
I wondered what all the families
of all the fallen
officers would be thinking.
He's a good listener, Brannigan?
Among other things.
You all look up to him. Is that right?
Yeah.
For what? For moral guidance?
Yeah.
FRANKLIN: Mm.
When you left the bar
that night with Gallagher,
did you go straight to your car?
- Yes.
- Where was it parked?
'Round the back.
Mm.

And you?
Moses Johnson killed Michael Rossi.
And now he's at college in California
on a track scholarship.
I don't know. It still
feels like a travesty.
So God knows how Johnny Logan felt
on the night of the verdict.
Thank you for your candour.
When did you leave?
Same time as Frater.
Where was Frater's car parked?
Next to mine, around the back.
So you walked with Frater to your car?
Yes. Were there any other vehicles
outside the front of the bar?
I-I'm I'm not sure.
Any contact with anyone

I saw him walk out
I assumed he went for a smoke.
He didn't come back.
That's the last I saw of
the accused until today.
How long have you been
the owner of the Low Bar?
14 years.
What'd you do before that?
I was a police officer.
Mm.
Who was the owner of the bar before you?
Gerry Spencer.
- Cop?
- Yes.
What's the percentage of customers
who are police officers?
All of them.
What car do you own?
A Tesla.
Nice. Bought it new?
- Yes.
- Expensive?
You thinking of getting one?
[CHUCKLES] No.
I've been a public defender
my whole working life.
I-I can't afford a car like that.
But you can?
Business is good. There's
13,000 cops in Chicago.
Most of them like to
have a drink after work.
All of them know the Low Bar.
Without the goodwill of the CPD,
you wouldn't have a
business, let alone a Tesla.
They're great people.
Hmm.
FRANKLIN: We've been
hearing that my client
was pretty drunk that night.
I was gonna have to
take his keys from him.
Was there a tab for the drinks?
- Yes.
- In whose name?
Lieutenant Brannigan.
But he he went home early.
He left it open after he left.
It was that kind of night,
and he's that kind of man.
Mm. Tab for who?
His guys.
Frater, Gallagher, Logan.
- Yes.
- Yes, I I got it right here.
Frater and Gallagher,
were what's the word?
Were they, uh, uh, "inebriated"?
- [SNORTS]
- What What's funny?
That's kind of lawyer language
right there "inebriated."
[CHUCKLES] Not the way
you and your cop buddies
talk to each other?
We're a little more blue-collar.
Mr. Wayne, how much
for a single Jameson?
$6.
- IPA?
- $5.50.
$5.50.
Can you confirm all
the drinks on this tab
are single shots and bottles of IPA?
Yes.
Okay.
Brannigan left early sober?
- That's right.
- He had a couple drinks?
A few. Shots.
Frater and Gallagher were
all fit to drive home?
Yes.
So let's be liberal here and say,
legal driving limit,
three, four shots apiece?
Sounds right.
And you had a couple of
drinks on the lieutenant?
- Yes, a couple.
- [CHUCKLES]
So that's 12 shots
between the four of you.
Yeah.
And, er, 12 times $6 72 bucks.
What's the total on the tab?
$409.
$409.
So Officer Logan
had $337 worth of whiskey and beer.
Don't Don't Don't
Don't worry. I've done the math.
That's 42 shots and 17 IPAs
between when he arrived at 6:00
and when he left the bar at 8:00.
That's 59 units of alcohol in two hours.
Now, you you've been behind
the bar for 14 years now.
Have you ever seen somebody
put away that much alcohol
and walk out the door?
He'd be dead, wouldn't he?
I don't know about that.
You don't know about that?
The science there.
Well, why don't we just rely
on your 14 years of experience
and your good old blue-collar
common sense, Wayne?
[CHUCKLING] You know what I'm saying?
Come on, man. A-answer the question.
Somebody's lying here, Wayne.

Look, I know you you can't say,
what with your Tesla and your solidarity
with the good old boys in blue,
but so let me make this easy for you.
I'm not saying somebody's lying.
I'm I'm saying y'all all are lying.
It's like y'all got together beforehand
and worked out what
the story was gonna be.
What lie? What story?
♪♪
The bad apple was shit-faced,
members of the jury.
Shit-faced and crazy.
It grieves me to have to say it,
but this new culture of
openness and integrity at the CPD
makes me have to do it
"Johnny Logan can be
relied on for nothing!
He's a rotten, stinking racist pig.
Me and the boys were
all very sober the night
Moses walked into the promised land,
and we can be relied on to
remember everything that happened,
and you can be sure we are
entirely credible witnesses."
Your Honour.
Your witness asked me a
question. I'm answering it.
Did I leave anything out, Wayne?
Uh, M-Ms. Pearson?
You better spell it out, Counselor.
If you're going where
I think you're going,
Ms. Pearson and her witness
are entitled to know what's coming.
I think you were all
there when Jalil was dying.
I think you let him die.
I think you did what cops do
you covered up for a brother officer
until you realised you
couldn't stand it up,
so you cut him loose.
And so there he is
the poster boy for police brutality,
taking all the shots for a rotten,
stinking racist pig of an organisation.

DR. WEN: Measurements taken of fractures
to the cranial portion
of Mr. Watts' skull
were consistent with those
of the front sight, barrel,
and butt of the pistol
presented to the medical
examiner's office for analysis.
A black Glock 17.
Is this the weapon you examined?
Yes, it is.
We were able to retrieve
trace amounts of blood,
tissue, hair, and bone fragments.
All of these samples were exact
matches to Jalil Watts' DNA.
Swab samples from the
pistol grip were also tested.
What did the results show?
The samples from the gun match
the DNA profile for Officer Logan.
Thank you.
How much time between Mr.
Watts sustaining his injuries
and the arrival of
the gun at your office?
Uh, I believe six weeks had passed.
It was actually 44 days.
Where was the gun recovered from?
A curbside sewage drain.
A citizen saw the gun and
called the authorities.
How would you describe the
overall condition of the weapon
and the quality of the DNA
you were able to extract from it?
The weapon itself was in
good working condition.
The quality of DNA is
not really an issue.
Either it exists or it doesn't.
Wouldn't it be unusual for a weapon
that's been in a sewage
drain for a month and a half
to be submitted to your office
in good working condition,
yielding readable DNA samples?
It's, uh, certainly not the norm.
Would you agree that it's
far more likely that the gun
was recovered, sealed, and
stored to preserve the DNA,
and then later presented to
your office for examination?
Why would anyone do that?
That is a good question.

♪♪
Logan was a drinker.
And he drank on duty.
He kept miniatures in the car with him.
He has a problem.
Tell us about the night of
the Moses Johnson verdict.
We'd been ready for the city to go up.
If the verdict had gone the other way,
we had intel that was telling us
the whole show was coming to town.
By which you mean what?
Rioting, fires, looting.
So when the "not guilty" came back,
in one sense it was good news.
Did you talk to Lieutenant
Brannigan that night?
- Yes.
- Who called who?
Oh, not on the phone. I
went to see him at home.
Do you remember what time that was?
It would've been around 8:00.
- Anyone else there?
- No.
But he was taking lots of calls.
From ?
His guys wanting to talk.

♪♪
Have you and Brannigan
talked about your
testimony for this trial?
What do you mean?
Yesterday, for example, did
you and Brannigan discuss
what he's already said on the stand
and what you're going
to say on the stand?
Of course not. That's not how it works.
- You wouldn't do that.
- No.
Why not?
It would be wrong.
What kind of wrong?
"Contempt of court" wrong.
The whole system stops working
if witnesses prime each other.
It's the opposite of clean justice.
Exactly.
And you would never
do a thing like that.
Never.

You a boxing fan?
JOHNNY: What is this?
What are we doing here?
FRANKLIN: October 30, 1974.
"Rumble in the Jungle."
Kinshasa, Zaire.
Ali-Foreman, rope-a-dope, yeah.
This is our rope-a-dope, Johnny.
Early rounds, prosecution's coming at us
with everything they got.
Shots to the head, body shots.
You know, he used to
he used to sit out front,
right right there.
People used to walk by and
say, "Good morning, Champ."
He used to love that.
I used to take a
detour home from school,
walk by,
staying on the sidewalk on
the other side of the street.
I-I never got the
nerve to come over here.
He never seemed to notice me.
One day, he called me over here.
I came across.
He said, "I want to apologise
for being so shy to talk to you.
Would would you like to
share a glass of lemonade?"
Me and the Champ.
You know, he won that title
back at 32 years of age,
and he had no right to have it.
And he did it by doing
things his own way.
Everybody leaves out
a part of that story.
What's that? What part?
Ali caught Foreman in
round three, and he
he caught him again in round four,
and once more in round round six.
Nobody mentions that.
Maybe because it doesn't fit
with the story of the story.
You didn't notice?
We caught 'em.
They just don't know it yet.
JOHNNY: You got eight rounds in you?
Do you?

Why?

Round seven.
What?
Foreman caught Ali
with a big right hand.
He knew it was a good punch.
It felt like a good punch.
And George knew what
a good punch felt like
and what it did to an opponent.
So when Ali leaned in
and whispered to him,
"Is that all you got, George?"
the big fella knew exactly
