[about Marlon West] He confessed. It was later thrown out on a technicality. We really didn't need it. The prosecution's case against Marlon was very strong.
Until Marlon's little sister Hannah got on the stand and confessed to the murder herself.
Oh, yes, I remember this case. A high school senior at age 12.
She's a prodigy.
She's a pint-size Machiavelli. She manipulated events, fabricated evidence, and in the end...
She claimed that she did it because she loved Marlon. Some warped sense of justice. She graduated later that summer, became legally emancipated from her parents and went off to Harvard, pre-med.
You keeping tabs on her?
Not recently. Look, accident or no accident, Marlon killed before. Hannah sunk this case, Marlon got a free pass, and now he's killed again.
Well, we don't know that just yet. I mean, we don't have Marlon's DNA to compare with the semen that was found in the victim. All the old evidence was expunged with the verdict.
I want this case.
The one that got away?
We're not supposed to let them get away, right?
